It's noticeable when you go off the podcast. 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:42.640 You know, we sort of we go off the boil 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.440 for a little bit. Yeah, we tend to lead in 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.840 a lot of tries, that's right. Sort Of around halfway 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.320 through the podcast. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.000 There's also, like, you know, rumors going around that while 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.440 I am quite good, I do bring a toxic energy 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.840 maybe to the changing room.

I'm off to another podcast 0:00:58.360 --> 0:00:59.240 next year, so I don't even care. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:00:59.480 Yeah. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.560 Well, there was that time where we won the game 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.600 and we came in to celebrate and sing the team song, 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.759 and you fucked off out to some other podcasts or something. Yeah, 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.399 that's right, Or we were all singing the team the 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.120 podcast song. Yeah, but I don't care. 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.520 I pretty much carried you guys there, So you guys 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:13.880 can go sing a little song if you want. But 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:14.839 all I care about is winning. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.759 Yeah, one hundred percent. Speaking of winning, And look, this 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:24.440 could be an early crow. We're on a TV show tonight. 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.560 It's called Game of Two Halves? Heard of it the 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.080 ACC does What. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.800 Was your first question when you when you heard Game 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.080 of two Halves is coming back? 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.240 Where is Matthew reg and Mark Ellis? 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.839 Oh? Yeah, I know the answer to this question. Yeah, 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.720 you can't afford Mark Ellis and Matthew Ridge. No one 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:45.280 knows where he is. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.160 I think he was in the office there. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.320 He was in the office the other day. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:48.800 Was very weird. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.440 Yeah, yeah, because he owns obviously. I don't know if 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.840 he still does carfe in Green Lane, the car grooming 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:54.440 company there. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.920 Yeah, I was just out there yesterday. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:56.920 Is he still there? 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.280 Didn't see him. It's just right next to the pork Mart. 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.640 Pork May is a weird little supermarket area around there. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.200 Porkmart and then there's a sushi joint right next to it. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.040 Would you buy sushi from the place next to Porkmart? 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.799 Probably not anyway, So that is debuting tonight depending on 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.840 when you're listening to this Thursday night eight thir m 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.280 on Sky Open, which is the one on Freeview. So 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.720 if you have Freeview, if you can watch any TV 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.200 on your TV, yeah you have that. Otherwise, if you've 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.040 got Sky, I think it's on Sky Sport one. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.840 Well, if you're listening to an NRL podcast, I can 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.000 only assume you have Sky so you can watch NRL. Yeah, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.320 so go on sky go if you're free letting off 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.560 your parents account or something like that, or skysport now, 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.040 if that's what you use eight thirty tonight. How are 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:39.560 you feeling about being part of your first with a 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:40.080 TV shirt? 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:40.359 Yeah? 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:41.760 Good, pretty exciting. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.960 Well, it's pretty low stakes as well, because I already 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.560 know the feedback for the first episode is going to 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.920 be with Matthew, Richard Mark Ellis. So that's the funny 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.320 thing about it. What does it matter what we're going 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:52.480 to do out there? 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.280 Well, one thing, Laura came in and I know you've 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.840 been wheeled around every station, getting with Laura and doing 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.560 the car washer. Yeah, caught the car wash. You've been 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.240 right through, You've been on every station. She was on 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.960 our show on Hadarky, and I asked her. I was like, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.480 do you feel and I want to know if you 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.280 feel this, do you feel a genuine responsibility to make 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.600 sure the show is funny? No? Why not? 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:16.640 I do? Oh? You do? 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.800 Because I'm so sick of all these rehashes and people 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.240 are bringing shit back nowadays. They've run out of ideas. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.639 It's not that this is the situation. They've run out 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.079 of ideas. They're rebooting eighties sitcoms, like making sequels to 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.280 movies that should just be left alone and that all shit. Yeah, 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.000 and I don't want this to be another one of those. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.520 Well if you go, well, no, but the thing is 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.480 people are gonna and if you listen as you would 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.920 have watched probably Sports Cafe and gave it two house 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.760 back in the day, it's never going to be the same. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:43.760 It's not. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.400 The other part of it is you only remember the 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.520 good parts of it, Like you only remember that and 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.040 all of that. But if you went back and watched 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.480 an episode, you'd be like, oh, there were a few 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.640 more misses than there were hurts in this which. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.160 And the reason we say that is because we were 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.160 sent all the old episodes and I watched about maybe 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.240 five just on in the background, and I was like, 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.680 there were very funny moments in it, but it is 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.800 very much of its time, a lot of people talking 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.920 over the top of one another and yelling and stuff. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.320 So there's going to be a bit of that tonight 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.640 as well. Yeah, of course there is. I do feel 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.800 a responsibility to make sure it's funny because when I 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.200 think of old shows from when I was younger, yeah, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.000 Rose tinted Glasses, I remember them being five hundred percent 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.080 funnier than they actually were, And I just want to 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.719 make sure no one tunes in goes this is shit. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:25.760 They should have left it alone. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.320 Well, I reckon, you've really opened yourself up to people 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.599 that listen to this podcast giving you raw and honest 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.720 feedback about whether you were funny or not on the show. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.720 But if you want to make your own judgments about that, 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.560 it's on tonight eight thirty pm. As we said, I'm 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.520 sure there'll be some sort of on demand thing about 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.320 it as well. And we don't have any rugby league 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.200 guests on this week. We've got Joey Wheeler, mikayeleab b 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.719 Lyde and Brody Kane's on our team and you and 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.640 then Matt Heath is the captain of the other team. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.919 So yeah, tune into that. But look, let's talk about 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.400 some actual national rugby league because despite the fact that 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.600 our Warriors aren't in, it still goes on. I want 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.440 to get through some of the headlines here, but before 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:05.039 I do, have you heard anything about the Warriors Mad Monday? 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.080 So they had their prize giving on Sunday night. No, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.520 so they've gone full zero dark. 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.720 Yeah, I presume they went into med Monday straight afterwards. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.920 Yes, which, and we've talked about this before. We were 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.120 informed by a former Warrior that basically it's on the 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.159 I think they did it on the Sunday. So when 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.400 was the awards night Sunday? 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.000 Sunday? 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.039 So on the Monday, they all are picked up by vans. Yep, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.840 their phones are taken off them, they are ushered away 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.640 and then at any point if anyone wants to go home, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.919 there are drivers ready to take players home. It's a 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.160 full lockdown situation. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:36.560 Yeah. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.479 The apparently the drivers are like just idling out in 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.000 the car park, that's right. And they've got a full 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.960 team sit with their addresses on it, so they don't 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:44.760 even need to talk to you. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.440 That's right. Just get in the back of the uber 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:47.800 and it's just like yep, sweet. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.040 You try and tell them a different address, they say, nah, 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.159 I'm dropping you off at this. Yes, I've got right here. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.920 That's right. I'm understrict instruction. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:54.320 By the way. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.400 The doors are locked. You can't get out. The kiddy 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:56.800 locks on. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.360 And I mean this was sort of a ten years 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.479 ago type explanation of how they handle it. But I 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.040 haven't heard anything from a Warrior's Mad Monday. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.200 No in a long time. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.799 That's right. So they've got it on lockdown. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.240 Yeah, it is a bit sad that they can't be 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:11.920 out in the wild. I talked about this with Lane 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.360 on the Agenda podcast I think last week. He said 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.680 he got involved in Warrior's Mad Monday one year done 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:20.360 at the Viaduct. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.279 He said, Oh, and Gutenbill his pubes. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.159 On fire, his pubes or Arwen's pubes own lit his 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:26.320 own pubes on fire. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:26.880 Right. 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.880 Now, have a guess if Mike Lane turned around and 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:33.080 then lit his own pubes on fire. Of course Jeek 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.479 Lane did. Of course you did, but and I do. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.440 I just missed that part of it. I mean I 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.280 missed it because I was too young. But I just 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.520 wish that, you know, we ruined it with all the 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:42.840 cameras and filming people. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.360 You know, it would be awesome if you were just like. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.039 Did we run it? Not us? What did The NRL 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.920 players are in it? Obviously by filming one another and shit, 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.279 but also doing a lot of pretty messed up stuff. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.520 But yeah, look, as long as no one's getting hurt, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:56.680 I feel like they should be able to do it 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.280 out in public. But that's exactly why. 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.839 There's too many phones, so everyone's going to record everything 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.640 that's right. And I suppose that leads us straight seamlessly 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.800 into the first and biggest headline in the NRL this week. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.080 Joshadow car pulled over submitted to a random drug test 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.760 across the state I think of Victoria. They carried out 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.360 ten thousand of these like random drug tests on the roadside. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.000 They caught four hundred people allegedly one of them was 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.160 Josh adocat right, the news story comes out, Oh, he's 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.400 tested positive for drugs at a cocaine on a roadside 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.280 drug test. Then Phil Gold comes out and says, no, 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.560 he hasn't. There's absolutely no truth to that at all. Oh, okay, 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.240 Phil Good tied up with the club. Then another news 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.880 story comes out from the police saying no, he actually 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.000 did test positive. Now they're testing a second sample. Then 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.480 this story is saying the second sample was clean, it 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.320 was hot, it wasn't. And now in the long short 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.680 of it is he stood himself down for week one 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:50.960 of the finals. 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.960 Which, okay, the police isn't going to go out on 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.400 a live and say no, he did test positive for cocaine. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.200 Why would the police be lying, you know what I mean? No, 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:05.080 he tested positive for cocaine. You know, Also, if he 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:06.960 was definitely innocent, he'd be like, what the hell, I'm 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.040 definitely playing this week and he's stood himself down. Yeah, apparently, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.120 what was it? So that the team could concentrate and 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.760 so it wouldn't be a distraction. How much of a 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.360 huge blowout is it? You go to the Bulldogs who 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.040 haven't been in the finals in like almost a decade. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.200 I think it's about eight years. Yeah, you're one of 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.840 the marquee signings, you're the leader in the group, You're 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.320 the guy in the backs that really chirps and gets 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:28.160 everyone running. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.040 You're in charge of the boombox at practice. Oh, you're 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.800 in charge of the boom box. You know, probably lead 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.280 the team song. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.640 I would say absolutely, let's trot boys and then do 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.360 the team song. That's his role. Yeah, he's come from 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.760 the Melbourne Storm and just as they finally make the finals, 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.880 he gets tested positive for drugs. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.880 He had a week off, so he played in the 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.080 second last game. Then he had like a minor ankle 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.400 twinge and so he's like, I'm out for this week. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.320 You couldn't have just like one week. You couldn't have 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.720 given it a brother. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.240 When we finish, throw your phone into the ocean and 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:00.760 go healthily the whatever you want to. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.560 Do over it, throw your nose into an ocean of cocaine. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.480 But right now, just have a week off, maybe have 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.160 a few beers. It's just such a blowout. It's such 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.040 an own goal as the most rugby league shit of 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.360 all time, it really is. So I'm a bit like, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.800 I'm not a huge Bulldogs fan. They might be my 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.400 second team this year, but that was such a blow 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.200 up from Josh Haadoca. Yeah, they are my second team 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.280 for this year and just because of all the off 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:24.800 field stuff. I think we've talked about it on this 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.680 podcast before, but there's riots in the street when the 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.200 Bulldogs win at the moment. That's right. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.960 Their fans are kind of punishing. Yeah that flipping cars 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.600 and they would be. But I don't live over in Sydney. 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.440 I don't know too much about in a area or whatever. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.560 I just love that people are getting this fired up 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.520 for rugby league, so I want them to make a 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.160 deep run. This is the most rugby league owned goal 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.600 of all time. To now miss that if they lose 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.679 this week and get knocked out of the finals, like 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.280 that's how this season finished. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.120 And we're going to get to this in a wee 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.280 bit is it's up in the air. Wow, one hundred percent, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.920 especially after last week's game. Yeah, it could go either way. 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.520 So yeah, Josh Haddaka, what a massive, massive own goal, 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.000 classic rugby league off field scandal. And like on the 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.120 I can't remember what podcast I was on the other day, 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.240 we compared it to I don't know if you follow 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.280 the NFL, but Tyreek Hill, who's like the number one 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.040 wide receiver, you know, he got pulled over in a 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.719 Black Ferrari on the way to the game for a 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.600 speeding violation. The cops pulled him out and like basically 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.720 threw him on the ground. There's a bit of police brutality, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.400 blah blah blah. And all he did was a speeding violation, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.320 which I actually haven't seen whether they gave him the 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.439 ticket or not. Right, Josh had o'ka got lit goat, 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.839 but he teasts a positive for cocaine, And just like 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.080 shop back, didn't they go. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.560 Wow, Well, in that case, he mustn't have had too 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:43.400 much in a system. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:43.800 No. 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.320 I think it was like he did it on the 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.240 weekend and then it showed up in his system, you 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:48.800 know what I mean. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.240 Okay, it's just so yeah. 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.320 Not to just go on and on about it. But 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.960 on the one hand, you've got like just wait until 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.720 the end of the season. But then on the other hand, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.400 you've got part of what makes him one of the 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.439 greatest NRL players going around at the moment is. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.400 That he's nuts. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.320 He runs the boombox, he's very a memorable he seems 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.560 like a real laugh. Is that part of what makes 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:13.080 him who is? 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:13.880 I don't know. 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.720 Anyway, He's out for a round run of the finals 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.040 is Adam g who refereed the Grand Final last year. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.920 And I think it's important that we give him as 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.960 flowers because the Grand Final last year was widely herald 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.839 it as like one of the best officiated games of 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:28.440 rugby league. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.000 Gave but it was, wasn't it? 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.640 Well they said it was. Yeah, they said it was 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.559 the best officiated game of rugby league since I think 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.480 there was a game in the early two thousands that 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.439 they compared it to. It was like that was the 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.199 last time a game was that And it was because 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.079 he was willing to overlook a few things and keep 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.520 it free flowing. Yeah, which meant for the first time 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.360 in a long time, people actually a rallying around a 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.440 referee you instead of just bagging the shit out of them. 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:47.760 Yeah. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.000 I know, and so I think it's important to bring 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.920 it up. But I wrote down a note in here. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.680 I just wanted to know, is this news that a 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.360 referee is not referee this week? 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:55.880 I think it is. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.079 Too because there's four games, there's four refs that they 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.200 clearly think are better than Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.080 so is he the fifth beast Rif I don't, I 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.800 don't think so. Yeah, is he a touchy for any 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.440 of these games? 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:08.120 Probably? 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.120 I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Are they resting him, 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.360 is in the bunker. Maybe they're resting him because they 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:13.400 wont him for the Grand Final? 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:13.880 I don't know. 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.720 I think it is I think it is news. But 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.720 I also don't think we are qualified to speak on referring. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.040 You know, we can talk about rugby league. All we 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.800 do is slag off the wrist, that's right. Yeah, So 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.120 maybe a warrior's supporter put her head out on him. 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.040 Perhaps, Yeah, he's cooling down for a week. Maybe he's 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.360 stood himselfself down after a roadside test. 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.560 We don't know. We don't know all of the facts. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.480 Did you see that Tom Trabohovitch has put a book out? 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.960 You've printed off the run sheet here with a photo 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.160 of the book cover. This is literally the first time 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.199 I've seen or heard anything about it. Same here. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.080 I just came across it and read it this morning 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.680 when I was deep and real. Yeah, the Turbo Pup 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.800 by Tom Traboiovitch. It's got a picture of a dog 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.680 in front of it. It isn't manly colors as well, makes 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.840 no reference to manly so he ever leaves the club, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.920 he can still keep selling this book. What percentage of 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.360 the National Rugby League do you think can read that? Well, 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.360 it's a kid's book, so I'm going to say sixty percent. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.280 It's written with Fiona Harrison, illustrated by Shane McGee. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.160 It wasn't written with her, it was written by her. 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.320 And wow, just the comments on social media around this 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.240 had been excellent. That apparently reads it to Jake and 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.960 Ben when he tucks him up in bed, Jake gives 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.040 it two thumbs up, and someone else said, I went 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.600 to try and buy this this morning and tore my 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.280 hamstring and I can't finish it for six to eight weeks. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.080 It'd be funny if they released anyone called the Gerbo Pup, 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.839 which is just a sort of oh a mankey looking pug. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.600 And then part three the Burbo Pug. Yeah, Pup, Pug, 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.120 Burbo pub. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.480 Well, good on, Tom Traboy, bitch. I like the idea 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.680 of diversifying. Yeah, and it's not often that literature and 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.040 rugby league go hand in hand. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.480 No, in fact, never so available in all good bookstores. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.920 I reckon you might find yourself a bargain and the 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.120 old bargain bin I suspect let's take a quick break 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.360 and we'll come back and talk a little bit of 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:09.000 Warriors before we get into the awards, and I want 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.000 to break down all of the awards that were dished out. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.480 On Sunday night, Stacy Pierrett took to the Mad Monday 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.760 Munters group and posted this, which I thought we could 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.680 talk about without wanting to touch up the course too much. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.200 The one thing we must do next year is get 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.440 a regular lineup kicker of quality. We had five games 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.760 with a winning margin was under four and we missed 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.320 two to three conversions in each with an accuracy rating 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.600 of between twenty five and sixty seven. If we had 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.240 a kicker in the regular lineup with an accuracy of 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.920 seventy five percent or better, we'd be playing the Cowboys 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.760 this week. Wow, we used four kickers this season. S 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.760 Ja was the best and he's gone. Pompey is the 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.760 next most accurate, but he will struggle to hold a spot. 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.520 Metcalf has an accuracy of seventy five percent this season, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.720 so if he doesn't snap in half again or lose 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.320 a spot, then perhaps he is it. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:54.840 No. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.800 Ccht has awesome at so many things, but perhaps better 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.160 at writing about kicking than actually having. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:00.520 To do it. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:05.080 I really appreciated this. I do agree. I think Metcalfe 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.960 is probably the answer. Well, I know the answer. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:09.240 What's the answer. 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.000 Do you want to know? Do you want the answers 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:15.360 to the exam right now? Yes, Tain Turpikey at fallback, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:20.120 at fullback, Chance at center. And the funny thing about 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.320 this is, if Sean was fully healthy, we wouldn't be 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.520 having this discussion. He would have kicked all season. He 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.440 would his confidence would be up, and it wouldn't have 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.440 been an issue. I think there's a good point about 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.280 metcalf and his injuries as well. The issue was every 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.400 week we had a different freaking kicker. Yeah, it was 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.680 just so disrupted. But still, when I think clutch and 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.480 I think worriy is, no one comes to my other 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.920 than Tin Turpeiky, who slotted the field goal from the 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.440 sideline to beat the Panthers at Magic Around. The dude's 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.040 twelve years old. He's already so clutch he is. It's 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.240 just such a hate him. May No, I don't hate him, 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:53.040 you hate his guards. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.200 I just think if you've got Roger toy Vasishik and 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:56.760 Chance and Nicole Clock's there. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.960 In the centers. It's like the roosters of Joey Marno. 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.760 Yeah, but they also have Tedesco, who's one of the 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.000 greatest fullbacks ever here but like potentially Dally Am, but 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.920 it's it's Keanu Kenny for the Titans. Here. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.120
