Speaker 1: Oh, welcome back to the Man Monday podcast, brought to
Speaker 1: you by four and twenty piles, the perfect at home
Speaker 1: snack for watching rugby league. My name is Tina Fassauer
Speaker 1: Monday AI. I am joined on a Thursday by Edin
Speaker 1: Vanua Kezy.
Speaker 2: Okay, how are you really good? Help my back saw
Speaker 2: this morning? Oh? Why your backbone after Classic? After basketball
Speaker 2: last night? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I don't know why. Well
Speaker 2: from carrying or can't be from carrying the team. It's
Speaker 2: from riding the pine hard. I work up this morning
Speaker 2: at Billy Walk because I what the hell? And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm thirty two. Played basketball last night, Probably didn't stretch
Speaker 2: at all? Did you stretch it all? No? Did you
Speaker 2: warm up at all?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Did you go home and just sit immediately on the
Speaker 1: couch and scroll on your phone for about two hours?
Speaker 2: Because you can't fall asleep after playing game basketball? Wired
Speaker 2: from my eight minutes of action, I went straight home,
Speaker 2: see good night to my wife who was already in bed,
Speaker 2: and then sat on the couch and played PlayStation for
Speaker 2: two hours. Yeah, that'll be it. I think that's basically
Speaker 2: what everyone does.
Speaker 1: That's why I hate when people are social sports on
Speaker 1: like a Wednesday or whatever, get chippy. There is nothing
Speaker 1: more embarrassing to me than getting in a fight at
Speaker 1: social sport.
Speaker 2: And it's the most it's out of all the grades,
Speaker 2: it's one of that attracts the most.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's people who might have been nice at
Speaker 1: high school and then now it's fifteen years later and
Speaker 1: they're like, how come I still can't do it?
Speaker 2: Don't point it me. The listeners can't tell. But I'm
Speaker 2: pointing him and I right now because I've got a
Speaker 2: point to make. One of the guys in our basketball team,
Speaker 2: he has a touch team over the road there at
Speaker 2: right who's like our opposition. Their touch team. My wife
Speaker 2: used to play for them, because it was a mixed one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there is a guy there that I went to watch
Speaker 2: one of her games and the team is really good,
Speaker 2: and he's very good. He swore at the ref from
Speaker 2: the sideline and was like barking order because he's a
Speaker 2: player he was subbed off. Is barking orders at his
Speaker 2: team the whole game. And then the riff made a
Speaker 2: call and he said, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
Speaker 2: Are you fucking serious to this this woman who is
Speaker 2: probably like twenty four office worker. Office worker up a
Speaker 2: time ten bucks to riff the game. Yeah, And she
Speaker 2: stopped the game and said, I'm gonna like stop the
Speaker 2: whole thing and you guys are going to have an
Speaker 2: OWL next year if you don't calm down. And I
Speaker 2: said to my wife, you can't play for that team
Speaker 2: next year. They suck. They are great, and a lot
Speaker 2: of everyone on the team was great except for this
Speaker 2: one guy. And as a result, she's like, yeah, I
Speaker 2: can't handle playing with them, and they had to leave. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Social, that's so much. There's nothing social about social sport. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know, you're not going to make
Speaker 1: the league.
Speaker 2: Who gives a shit.
Speaker 1: What we're actually doing here is getting out of the house,
Speaker 1: tracking ourselves into exercising and trying to switch the beers out.
Speaker 2: It also gives you like just a hint of that,
Speaker 2: oh yeah I can still do it? Not basketball? Does
Speaker 2: it not basketball? But like if you play like a
Speaker 2: game of very social touch, you go, oh yeah, no
Speaker 2: I can still do that doesn't to me? Yeah you
Speaker 2: never could. But every now and then there's a dude
Speaker 2: who's just like, you know what if I dedicated my
Speaker 2: life for the next ten years, I reckon I could
Speaker 2: make it. Yeah, you've had a hiccut. Don't go straight
Speaker 2: to I've had a hiccut. I asked the barber this morning,
Speaker 2: New Check, at the place we always go, do you
Speaker 2: still go there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I should there recently? Ko Yeah, absolutely, it looks good.
Speaker 1: Who got who did yours? Because I should get that person.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, yeah, right, so New Check, I'll see
Speaker 1: what she's like. And then I said to her, Now,
Speaker 1: at my work, they have a thing where if you
Speaker 1: walk in with a fresh fade.
Speaker 2: Yes, everyone goes hey, fresh cut? Oh you hear got
Speaker 2: is it? So? I said to it, Can I have
Speaker 2: a two fade, not a one fade? Two is a
Speaker 2: bit more restrained but still skucky. Sure? And I said
Speaker 2: to her, I just don't want to walk in and
Speaker 2: people be like hey. And she's like, yeah, cool, I
Speaker 2: can do that, and then proceeded to cut the skukiest
Speaker 2: haircut I've ever had. And she's like, so that's not
Speaker 2: too out there, is it? And I was like, no,
Speaker 2: it's great, thank you. Here's fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's such key We dude, shit, like we
Speaker 1: just sit there and no matter what they do to
Speaker 1: her here, We're like, yeah, it looks really yeah.
Speaker 2: It looks great. Thank you the mirror at the back
Speaker 2: to wash she sucked the backup right, sick. You can
Speaker 2: feel it sometimes when they're doing your here, because as
Speaker 2: a dude, when you get in your hair clip and
Speaker 2: it can go in your eyes, so quite often you
Speaker 2: get your eyes shut when you open the just like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, shit, Now, can I just clarify it's
Speaker 2: a good haircut. Yeah, yeah, it's just not the one
Speaker 2: you want. It way too skucky for me. Do you
Speaker 2: think Jason Hort's going to notice that as soon as
Speaker 2: he walks in? Yes? And do you think Jason Hoick
Speaker 2: latches onto the first piece of content that's available to
Speaker 2: him and then it bleeds it dry? Yes? Yes?
Speaker 1: So how over the next three hours of that radio show,
Speaker 1: I the thing is, I've now got to the point
Speaker 1: where people don't even really say it to me, because
Speaker 1: that's how I run.
Speaker 2: I don't get a haircut very often.
Speaker 1: I get a harecut and it's like quite a tight fade,
Speaker 1: and then I let it grow until I look like
Speaker 1: when they pulled Saddam Hussein out of their hole in
Speaker 1: the ground.
Speaker 2: And then I get a haircut again, and that's my cycle.
Speaker 2: Ritson repeat. How long have you been running that exact
Speaker 2: haircut since I was like eighteen? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 1: I think dudes, to be honest, have like three haircuts
Speaker 1: tops in their lifetime. Yeah, and I think mine will
Speaker 1: change probably in the next five years.
Speaker 2: It's a huge call to change it too. Well, it's
Speaker 2: the exact feeling that you're talking about, but over a
Speaker 2: longer period because people are talking about you, behme that
Speaker 2: what's it doing here? You see the new little minight. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 1: So Jeremy Wells has done enough herecuts in his lifetime
Speaker 1: for ten ten men.
Speaker 2: He can just come in with a different way. Not
Speaker 2: even blinks. But I don't have a lot of options.
Speaker 2: I got flat top, yeah, Kenner, bull cut. You occasionally
Speaker 2: go like almost not balld but quite sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, most summers off shape all my hero off Yeah
Speaker 1: go Kenner.
Speaker 2: It looks real good man, just quickly. I mean, I
Speaker 2: know we're supposed to be chating rugby league, but last night
Speaker 2: you picked me up for basketball in the acc ute, Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is a mid nineties Ford falcon ute. Yeah. Fuck
Speaker 2: that was sick. It's going to run at straight six. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is a bitch to like you. Everywhere we went,
Speaker 2: you to do like a seventeen point turn in it.
Speaker 2: It's got the turning circle of a train. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like Mania's trying to turn the cruise ship around. For
Speaker 2: it's the iceberg aka the land rover and the car park. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and everywhere I go people looking at it like you're
Speaker 2: not going to park next to me. That was a
Speaker 2: great experience. But hate rugby league. Yeah, rugby league mate.
Speaker 2: We commentated the game on the weekend. Will we commentating
Speaker 2: the game again? And just about forty.
Speaker 1: Eight hours five o'clock Saturday night. Now, on this podcast,
Speaker 1: we don't really have like a segment dedicated to feedback,
Speaker 1: but on the Agenda podcast we do. And so somebody
Speaker 1: has sent in feedback to this specific podcast. Oh what,
Speaker 1: let's let's open the podcast with that. So, without any
Speaker 1: further ado, call it yours please they can't.
Speaker 3: I know you don't have yours, please, but I'm just
Speaker 3: listening to this podcast and whatever respect of her head
Speaker 3: for keyses down to a sliver this poet carry on.
Speaker 3: They good, look at yourself, buddy, You ripped the lid off.
Speaker 3: You chuck that sauce and you pull that lit into
Speaker 3: a little bits folded and half scoop out this saucy
Speaker 3: mint deliciousness.
Speaker 2: Get it and get any of your gallat drink what
Speaker 2: I'll give you. Boy, that's so good. I'm so glad
Speaker 2: we opened up that segment in regards to me eating
Speaker 2: a four and twenty with a knife and four I presume.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well look, I mean, and you're the good
Speaker 2: thing was you're very understanding of the situation because we're
Speaker 2: commentating the game. Joe Jury chucked them in the air.
Speaker 2: Fright chucks them on for about two hours. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: doesn't pull them out until they're like basically uranium being
Speaker 2: pulled out of a nuclear reactor. And I didn't want
Speaker 2: to burn my hands and my mouth, so I went
Speaker 2: to the knife and fork. So I'd just burned my
Speaker 2: mouth whilst commentating the Warriors.
Speaker 1: If it was a family pie, I would understand, you know,
Speaker 1: like one of those ones where you've got to dish
Speaker 1: up a slice of pie and then you get vegi'es
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: I'd understand that to a degree. If it was a
Speaker 2: particularly difficult.
Speaker 1: Normal pie to eat, a sloppy one might be able
Speaker 1: to forgive that.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even like this was a crisp refreshing four
Speaker 2: and twenty traveler pie designed to be eaten by truckers
Speaker 2: whilst operating heavy machinery, and you sitting at a desk
Speaker 2: still needed a knife and fork. It's funny because that
Speaker 2: designed for one hand, yeah, but I couldn't even two
Speaker 2: hand it, so I had to knife and fork it.
Speaker 2: But that's all part of the you know, it's all
Speaker 2: part of the charm of the acc, isn't it. What
Speaker 2: do you do when you're out at.
Speaker 1: No Smart stadium and they dish you up a four
Speaker 1: and twenty pie.
Speaker 2: You've got no knife and fork? I asked one of
Speaker 2: those little pile of stiring trays and you give it
Speaker 2: the old knees together the leads, yeah exactly, and I
Speaker 2: just cut it on my knees there. It's a shambles
Speaker 2: and the small bite sized pieces. It's classy, though, What
Speaker 2: about like a Fritz's Wiener? Would I just put that
Speaker 2: shit away? What do you mean I just put it away?
Speaker 2: I just you don't need it. I just have you
Speaker 2: ever seen like a seed that video of a seagull
Speaker 2: eating a hot dog? Yeah? Right, I just do that.
Speaker 2: I've seen similar video. Is all right?
Speaker 1: The Warriors vis Titans. Let's move on from the piderbarkle.
Speaker 1: They've named their team. The Warriors have d w z
Speaker 1: Rook or.
Speaker 2: Where the fuck is the teamless? Cape Well and Barnett
Speaker 2: are all out.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for me and I want
Speaker 1: to start with this is the jiggery pokery that they
Speaker 1: play with the team list every week. Andrew webs the
Speaker 1: names the team on Tuesday because he's obligated to, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't even name the exact team that walks out
Speaker 1: on Saturday. So how much stock do you put into
Speaker 1: Dylan Walker being named at twelve? Obviously Barnett's out, and
Speaker 1: so Jackson Ford's going to stay in that number ten jersey,
Speaker 1: but it's a new quartereer on the other edge. Do
Speaker 1: you believe that Dylan Walker will be starting in that
Speaker 1: twelve jersey or do you think that Jacob Laban will
Speaker 1: be coming in?
Speaker 2: I like to think Laban will come in. This is
Speaker 2: more of a Dylan doesn't play twelve than it is
Speaker 2: a Jackson Ford should jump into twelve from prop no
Speaker 2: because he wants jackson Ford to be a to be
Speaker 2: a prop going forward, and they very much like to
Speaker 2: stick to these things, so he will be there. But
Speaker 2: Dylan Walker at twelve, I'm sure he could play it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure good, but no, he's so good as that
Speaker 2: first receiver at Locke that's just in the middle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think Laban comes in walk at a thirteen till
Speaker 2: who off the bench again? Yeah, And I think what
Speaker 2: will be does And I don't know if this is
Speaker 2: a good thing or not, but I think he does
Speaker 2: this to sort of stop guys like Jacob Laban being
Speaker 2: talked about in the media for the whole week. I think. So,
Speaker 2: look these young guys.
Speaker 1: Whenever someone's made a debut for the Warriors this year,
Speaker 1: it's been from eighteenth man or no off the bench.
Speaker 2: And I think that's why he's doing.
Speaker 1: I just would be shocked if Dylan Walker, Like, he's
Speaker 1: an excellent player, but he's not that big hole running
Speaker 1: it's four that we have been desperately crying out for
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 2: You know who is Jacob Laban? Jacob Laban is that dude?
Speaker 1: So And I also yeah, and like you say, I
Speaker 1: don't actually even mind Dylan Walker coming off the bench
Speaker 1: for us.
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't be shocked if that was the Well,
Speaker 2: it's nice because like Tall who coming off the bench
Speaker 2: in recent weeks has been great, so he gets to
Speaker 2: come on when everyone else is tired and not have
Speaker 2: to play the full lady. However, Dylan Walker coming off
Speaker 2: the bench is great because he injects some skunkiness about
Speaker 2: the twenty minute mark.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to do what your opponent doesn't want
Speaker 1: you to do. And when I'm absolutely shagged out there
Speaker 1: in the middle of which I after the name the
Speaker 1: National Rugby League, the last thing I want to see
Speaker 1: is Dylan Walker coming at me at Barllion miles an.
Speaker 2: Hour exactly, and I love that. I remember the injection
Speaker 2: of him and Jazz tavanga Ye last year the Ball Brothers.
Speaker 2: It was fantastic. So you Jack, is Shanel Harris Tavita
Speaker 2: in there as well? Yeah, I think the eighteenth Man.
Speaker 1: It's not on our list here, but I believe it's
Speaker 1: Bunti for right, who's back from his hamstring injury, right,
Speaker 1: so he could be a late inclusion there potentially, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: In course, so club on Delan's wing.
Speaker 1: So Dellan's obviously got a week for his high shot
Speaker 1: on a man who did not have the ball.
Speaker 2: That was so shit. It was I loved I love Dallan,
Speaker 2: so I love the worries. But like Marcello's penalty was
Speaker 2: dumb and it was real smart from Jerome Hughes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he just that entire game. He was like a puppet master.
Speaker 2: He suck at Marcelo when out of frustration, who then
Speaker 2: threw him on the ground. You know, like it was
Speaker 2: a pure like I could see Cameron Smith doing that
Speaker 2: or you know, like or like a real like a
Speaker 2: daily Cheery Evans. It was like a frustration fel on
Speaker 2: social basketball on hundred percent. So that was dumb and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that was super dumb. And then
Speaker 2: Dellon's when happened, and I was like, oh no, no,
Speaker 2: that was super dumb. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, he'll be out for a week, which brings
Speaker 1: the Cozi Club back in. Are you renewing your membership
Speaker 1: to the Cozie Club? Well, what is it forty bucks
Speaker 1: a year? Yeah, it's forty bucks a year.
Speaker 2: At the moment, I think, are you in on the
Speaker 2: Cozy Club? Look? I think And by the way, this
Speaker 2: goes for us in our local Irisa, which we've been
Speaker 2: toying with potentially shifting as a regular spot. I think
Speaker 2: we give a one last go on renew one more
Speaker 2: time we go, we see how it is at the
Speaker 2: Cozi Club slash and if it goes all good, we
Speaker 2: stick it out.
Speaker 1: And I'm all in because you know, at the Cozi
Speaker 1: Club lately, the food hasn't been great.
Speaker 2: Actually, you're right, what expensive?
Speaker 1: And by food I mean defense, Ah, his defense just
Speaker 1: all those tries against the and the Roosters.
Speaker 2: His hands are a bit iffy as well. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: by hands, you mean the price of drugs are going
Speaker 2: up handles is what I mean? Yeah, exactly, exactly, That's
Speaker 2: exactly what I mean.
Speaker 1: Roger to vus As schick back in and he will
Speaker 1: replace Rocco Beery. Do you think if Rocco didn't get
Speaker 1: injured he would be replacing itam Pompy.
Speaker 2: I think that Rocco was sort of not delivering to
Speaker 2: the level he was and was almost because we need
Speaker 2: Aed and Pompy and his goalkicking. Yeah, Seawn Johnson is
Speaker 2: going to come in and out of the side because
Speaker 2: he's older now, injuries, et cetera. Pomp is a real
Speaker 2: solid kicker. I almost think Rocco would have been the
Speaker 2: one that would have dropped out. Yeah, it's my vibe.
Speaker 2: I could have been the So I was very fortuitous
Speaker 2: that he got massively injured. Yeah, and again this like
Speaker 2: we see, like I say all the time, we have
Speaker 2: all these positions, and we say we can plain like,
Speaker 2: oh God, how do we fidd all these guys in
Speaker 2: the field.
Speaker 1: Injuries happened, That's how we fitdle these guys and they
Speaker 1: shitload of them. We don't need more out of RTS.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: We always say that we could end up in this
Speaker 1: ridiculous situation where Adam Pompey's the goalkicker when Roger's been playing,
Speaker 1: he's often the kickoff like the restart kickoff kicker, and
Speaker 1: then we're going to have to Mighty Martin as a
Speaker 1: primary general play kicker. So we're just going to have
Speaker 1: all these like seven different dudes kicking the ball. At
Speaker 1: the end of the last game, the last conversion that
Speaker 1: we attempted, it was SANELLL.
Speaker 2: Harris to Vita who kicked it because right.
Speaker 1: Because so many Adam pompe went off with some sort
Speaker 1: of ankle injury, which he seems to have miraculously covered.
Speaker 2: From ros on the right wing right the right center
Speaker 2: he was last time. Yeah, so he's right center, he's
Speaker 2: on Dallen's side. Now he's not on the left anymore.
Speaker 2: With Marcelo's Jersey three. I am so dyslexic. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: Jersey three is right center, okay, with Ed Cossi and
Speaker 2: then eventually Dellan which means Pompey on the left with Marcello. Yep,
Speaker 2: Now you like that a bit better. I think going
Speaker 2: forward later on this party when we chat super Coach,
Speaker 2: that could be a boost to Roger's value. To Roger's
Speaker 2: value because we hardly ever go left, you know, so
Speaker 2: he kind of just was middling, but now he's going right.
Speaker 2: He could get his hands on the ball a hell
Speaker 2: of a lot more.
Speaker 1: He could well do just looking at the bench obviously,
Speaker 1: Laban Tavanga tom Ali is on the bench there as well.
Speaker 1: I think he stays just because of all of the
Speaker 1: players that we've got out much. Barnett of course, has
Speaker 1: been called into state of origin and also one of
Speaker 1: the most unfortunate things to happen to the Warriors this season.
Speaker 1: Kirk Capewell, who has been injured, haven't seen a whole
Speaker 1: lot of him, but then also gets called into.
Speaker 2: That's such a weird caller, I know, and it sucks
Speaker 2: for us because we're like, ah, we could have done
Speaker 2: with them. Yeah, and it's like usually this is the
Speaker 2: period where we thrive because we don't have that many
Speaker 2: origin players. Yeah, and now we've got cape and Bar
Speaker 2: and Juanett gone. Yeah, I why is Cobbo not there?
Speaker 2: He injured? So on Throbo did he just get dropped?
Speaker 2: Question with us? Yeah, I'm not sure this is some
Speaker 2: info that we should have, and producer Adam's googling it
Speaker 2: ferociously right now because if Cobbo was dropped in favor
Speaker 2: of Capel, I know that Capele has played center in
Speaker 2: the past and has a lot of origin experience. But
Speaker 2: I thought Cobbo was just genius. He came on straight
Speaker 2: away the hammer went to fullback. I thought he was
Speaker 2: excellent as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know I would be surprised now looking at
Speaker 1: the at the TETs over there Keno Kinney, their fullback
Speaker 1: has been absolutely excellent, excellent over the last few weeks
Speaker 1: and for a J. Brimson I think is back in
Speaker 1: around a couple of weeks time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a fie though, Yeah, so he could be
Speaker 2: there for a week while longer. He's been great.
Speaker 1: Can Pereira has has as much with Brian Kelly's been
Speaker 1: good and despite all of that, that's still at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the table. Is there anything in this team
Speaker 1: that really scares you? Is it Jaden Campbell at six?
Speaker 1: Is it Dave for Feeder potentially lining up against Dylan
Speaker 1: Walker to start the game?
Speaker 2: Yeah? They see that scares me. Dave for Feeder is
Speaker 2: the scariest thing about the Titans. Yeah, it's as far
Speaker 2: as the Gold Coast concern is concerned, it's Dave for
Speaker 2: Feeder and the Tower of Terror. Those are the two
Speaker 2: scariest things on the Gold Coast. To be honest, cam Pereira,
Speaker 2: he's on the rack. The whole team's pretty shit and
Speaker 2: it's and it's it's shown in their standard. But they
Speaker 2: beat us. They did beat us. So what I'm doing
Speaker 2: here is I am either going to put a line
Speaker 2: through the Warriors after this weekend. Oh shit. And when
Speaker 2: I say that in terms of I don't think they're
Speaker 2: going to make any noise in the postseason, that'll still
Speaker 2: don't win this game. Because if we can't beat the
Speaker 2: Titans who lost to the Tigers last week, or I
Speaker 2: can't remember. Yes, God, I've been away and Barley, my
Speaker 2: brain's still fried. What are we doing here? You know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like the Titans have had so many changes.
Speaker 2: They've been without Jayden Campbell even for Feeda was out
Speaker 2: last week. They've been shifting Karen falling around their back
Speaker 2: lie Like what yeah, if we can't beat them, especially
Speaker 2: after what happened with Melbourne last weekend, this is a
Speaker 2: real like we need to start winning because there's us,
Speaker 2: there's the Cowboys, there's the Knights, there's all these teams
Speaker 2: who are sort of in the middle and need to
Speaker 2: start winning.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We did the exercise on Monday on the podcast of
Speaker 1: we need basically seven wins out of the remaining games,
Speaker 1: and we went through and said who are we definitely
Speaker 1: going to beat and there are about three of them.
Speaker 1: Then there were two more that we were like maybe,
Speaker 1: and that got us to five.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then we're like, well, not only do we need
Speaker 1: to win these and this Titans game was one of
Speaker 1: the ones that we said, yeah, we're gonna win, it
Speaker 1: should be yeah, And so if we drop this then
Speaker 1: means in the back end, of the season. We need
Speaker 1: to start beating the Broncos. We need to start beating
Speaker 1: you know, Penrith and these teams that I just can't
Speaker 1: say it happening.
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not so.
Speaker 1: But the other thing is we've seen over the last
Speaker 1: few weeks. Before that Melbourne game, we started to pick
Speaker 1: up a little bit of pace and everyone was saying,
Speaker 1: if we can just start getting these guys back, there's
Speaker 1: no reason why over the next two months we can't
Speaker 1: get back to the same Warriors team that we had
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, and I think the loss last week
Speaker 1: hurt a lot because we were starting to believe that
Speaker 1: we could have beaten them. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: throw the baby out with the bath water. I still
Speaker 1: think we can turn this around. And I do think
Speaker 1: we're going to win this this weekend.
Speaker 2: So do I and we're commentating it and join us
Speaker 2: Skysport night. It's going to be excellent. But I'm just like,
Speaker 2: I'm yeah. I told so many people, especially Anzec day
Speaker 2: of the Titans, I was like, we're gonna put a
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a job on these guys. It's going
Speaker 2: to be for the first time in ages, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a great Anzact day of rugby League for US. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and we lost. So I just I want them to
Speaker 2: beat them. I want them to play full eighty not
Speaker 2: twenty minutes of dominance and then sort of lose a
Speaker 2: bit of resilience there and then you know, let them
Speaker 2: back in. Yeah. Like I'm just I just want them
Speaker 2: to smash the Titans.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna win, and if we win, I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna win by a bit. Yeah, I also
Speaker 1: think if we lose, we're gonna lose. We could potentially
Speaker 1: lose by a bit. This is the problem with the Titans.
Speaker 1: They've always been there's glass cannon type team. They get
Speaker 1: their tails up and score in a hurry. They got
Speaker 1: dudes that can score from anywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so guys like you know, j Campbell was the
Speaker 2: exact kind of player we struggle against. Yes, and then
Speaker 2: like even a Carnt Perira an open space, you can
Speaker 2: see him scoring a hat trick. If we're off our games,
Speaker 2: Jojo Feder and s Jer isn't there on the other wing. However,
Speaker 2: those guys are shocking on defense. So if we get
Speaker 2: our tails up, Yeah, this is why someone's getting blown
Speaker 2: out this weekend. Yeah, who is it someone's getting blown
Speaker 2: this weekend and I hope it's us. Wait, no, I
Speaker 2: hope we're blowing the amount. Yeah, sorry the other way around.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, should we go to an ad?
Speaker 1: Okay, just before we do, the other four and twin
Speaker 1: prize pack is back again.
Speaker 2: Each month of the Mad Monday Team.
Speaker 1: We've got four tickets to the next home game and
Speaker 1: four and twenty five ouchers that you can eat with
Speaker 1: the knife and fork in the comfort of your own home.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just text the monthly keyword to three two
Speaker 1: three six. This month the keyword is yum, So texts
Speaker 1: yum to three to two three six to be into it.
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break. I'm going to
Speaker 1: make a soup sfkeys. You can eat that with a
Speaker 1: knife and fork. Will come back to talk Supercoach. All right,
Speaker 1: it's time to talk a bit of Supercoach. It is
Speaker 1: round sixteen in the Supercoach, which means that it is
Speaker 1: a major buy around and the am I right in
Speaker 1: presuming that the top thirteen players.
Speaker 2: In your squad you get their scores. Yes, however, you
Speaker 2: still need to make sure that in your starting lineup,
Speaker 2: and you still need to reserve them.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is where I went wrong last time. I
Speaker 1: was like, surely, if you're just taking the top thirteen,
Speaker 1: what does it matter who I reserve?
Speaker 2: And you're doing that thing which a lot of people do,
Speaker 2: where they can't believe that it would be that way,
Speaker 2: that it would be that way, so they're like, nah, no,
Speaker 2: it's not that, Noah, you're wrong. Just why you're like
Speaker 2: trying to comprehend how stupid it is. It is. It
Speaker 2: is stupid. It is stupid. You should just it should
Speaker 2: just be all your players. You don't need to reserve
Speaker 2: anyone because you can barely fill up the starting lineup. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right, So make sure you do still select them
Speaker 2: all because the whole.
Speaker 1: Point of the reserves thing is that you have to
Speaker 1: make choices and leave dudes out. But this round is
Speaker 1: like exactly all the rules are out the window except
Speaker 1: for one except for one, and we're going to really
Speaker 1: make sure we stick to that. How many players have
Speaker 1: you got because it is thirteen as opposed to a
Speaker 1: usual seven? Yeah, yeah, I have. How many do I
Speaker 1: have that are playing?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have fourteen?
Speaker 1: Okay, great, so I'm in a really good position this week,
Speaker 1: and of the fourteen that I have. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of my heavy hitters around here. You know, you forfeeders,
Speaker 1: roosters are plane. I've got to desk Dong Yum, who
Speaker 1: just got named in the team to maslam my team,
Speaker 1: same Blake. So I'm I'm all right, And I was
Speaker 1: looking at my trades, and trades are the most fun
Speaker 1: part of super coach. I think we can all agree,
Speaker 1: but I just don't know who who I can bring it.
Speaker 1: I wanted to look at some of the buyers that
Speaker 1: are flying around this week because a lot of people
Speaker 1: will be in a situation where they need to bring
Speaker 1: some people in. One of the ones that's caught my
Speaker 1: own Adam actually pointed this one out this morning is
Speaker 1: Reuben Porter, who's eligible second row forward for the Tigers.
Speaker 2: He's almost bargain basement pricing. I think a two hundred
Speaker 2: and four thousand, yeah's bottom dollar. He has bottom dollar.
Speaker 2: So he's played two games. He played against the Dragons
Speaker 2: and he played twenty minutes and got seventeen points. He
Speaker 2: then played against the Titans and got seventy minutes. Yes,
Speaker 2: why did he get so many minutes? Someone? So then the.
Speaker 1: Thing with him is he can play this round they're
Speaker 1: playing the next by round.
Speaker 2: He plays sixteen seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty three, twenty four,
Speaker 2: twenty five as a break in twenty seven. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: he's great.
Speaker 1: He could potentially get dropped in amongst that, but that's
Speaker 1: what I worry about. Guaranteed price rise and if you
Speaker 1: needed to make some cash to bring someone a decent
Speaker 1: player in this week to make up numbers to when
Speaker 1: your head to head whatever it is, that is a
Speaker 1: great option in Reuben Porter.
Speaker 2: I think this round there's going to be like, for example,
Speaker 2: have you seen the have you seen the team list
Speaker 2: that Manly have named. Yeah, it is an absolute like
Speaker 2: it's a pretty much an ANSW Cup team. Former Warrior
Speaker 2: Carl Lawton starting at half back. Yeah, Carl Lawton at halfback.
Speaker 2: He's a hooker, isn't it you'd bench utility. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Here's a hot dude. So there are this round going
Speaker 2: to be quite a lot of sort of cheapies coming in. Yep.
Speaker 2: That could end up being a wee bit of a trap. Yep.
Speaker 2: But this fella's played two games already, so Bingi's obviously
Speaker 2: got him in the rotation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he is playing this week. So that's guaranteed cash.
Speaker 1: It's bargain basement, that's what you're buying. Don't be shocked
Speaker 1: if he then goes back to the bench again. You know, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: anytime you bring a tiger into your team, you know
Speaker 1: you're in deep shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: So those people that work in places where tigers live,
Speaker 1: they'll put a mask on the back of their head
Speaker 1: because tigers like to attack from the back, and so
Speaker 1: if they think that you're looking at them, they won't
Speaker 1: attack you. So they'll put a mask on the back
Speaker 1: of the head, right, so that tigers don't attack them
Speaker 1: from the back.
Speaker 2: Did your missas ever have to do that? And this
Speaker 2: isn't a weird joke, this is you're missus zoo keeper.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, she hasn't had to do that. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: But this is more like Adam the Wild. All I'm
Speaker 2: saying is, if you're going to bring a tiger into
Speaker 2: your team, put a mask on the back. He put
Speaker 2: a mask on the back of your head. That's right. Actually,
Speaker 2: just on that, I've still got Lochland Galvin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so again you again, I need a mask in
Speaker 1: the back of you hit he could get dropped. Buzzer Rothfield,
Speaker 1: saying that he's strutting around the changing him saying, see
Speaker 1: this is why I can't wait to get the fuck
Speaker 1: out of here.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, but he's he's he's a warm body
Speaker 2: and he's playing this weekend. I've still got Luke Brooks
Speaker 2: from the start of the season that's going to come
Speaker 2: in handy this week in which and like the thing
Speaker 2: with watching him is it's actually all right. He's all right,
Speaker 2: and he's scored a try and set up a try
Speaker 2: here and there and without daily cheer Evans. I like
Speaker 2: to think that he'll be doing a lot of work
Speaker 2: this weekend. But every time I man, I need to
Speaker 2: trade them out for a decent player, and he just
Speaker 2: stays in my team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a few dudes like that. Weeks is
Speaker 1: my version of that suit. He's pretty scuck you Nigge's
Speaker 1: going he is. Yeah, So I'm not too mad about that.
Speaker 1: This is the biggest one for me. And I've traded
Speaker 1: him in. I've traded him out. I've traded him in,
Speaker 1: I've traded him out. Little Pappy's back. Ryan Pappenhausen has
Speaker 1: been named to start for the Melbourne Storm. They cover
Speaker 1: the buyers pretty well, he won't be in consideration for origin.
Speaker 2: Yeah have you have you? I like to see how
Speaker 2: he goes when he's back, I know, because he's like
Speaker 2: a locomotive. He takes a wee while to get up
Speaker 2: to speed. He can do because the injuries that he
Speaker 2: has and fair enough horrific and they're all like breaks
Speaker 2: and shatters and fractures. So the good thing is it's
Speaker 2: not like a like a muscle soft tassoe kind of injury,
Speaker 2: so you'd sort of think, oh, the bones minted itself.
Speaker 2: He's back, you know what I mean, Like he's not
Speaker 2: worrying about a hammy or anything like that. That's what
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: And so the trade that I've made and then pulled
Speaker 1: out of, and then made and then pulled out of,
Speaker 1: and may yet again before at the first game kicks
Speaker 1: off tonight is Latrelle down to Peppy, which is a
Speaker 1: super pod play Pabby's at about six p ninety two.
Speaker 2: Latrell at the moment is eight seventy. You don't just
Speaker 2: want to keep Latrell for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: The problem I have is I am hovering around eighty
Speaker 1: sixth in our Mad Monday mondas league, right, I'd like
Speaker 1: to be a bit higher than that come the end
Speaker 1: of the season. And I'm fifty seventh. Actually, over the
Speaker 1: next five weeks, five or six weeks, Latrell only plays
Speaker 1: like one game because they have a bye coming up.
Speaker 1: I think next weekend. I'll check that yet, so he's
Speaker 1: not playing this weekend because of Origin, then a bye,
Speaker 1: so he's out for at least the next two weeks.
Speaker 1: Here's another buye in fairly short succession after that, and
Speaker 1: he'll also be playing an Origin game three. And I
Speaker 1: can't afford to have eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars
Speaker 1: sitting on my bench if I'm looking to try and
Speaker 1: climb the rankings. You're right, though, come the end of
Speaker 1: the season, you're probably gonna want him. Well, this is
Speaker 1: this is it's a massive dice roll.
Speaker 2: It's a huge and at this point of the season
Speaker 2: it comes down to how many trades you've got. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's almost like a luxury style trade where you make
Speaker 2: it because you can. Yeah, but I don't know if
Speaker 2: I can. I've got fifteen left, Yeah, I've got fourteen. Man,
Speaker 2: we're stuffed. Adam our producer has probably got like one
Speaker 2: hundred Ben Hurly lost them all around a month ago.
Speaker 2: He boosted all four first weeks. So I've done a
Speaker 2: similar thing to you for a similar reason. I've had
Speaker 2: Scott drink Water since Ponger went down. I think so
Speaker 2: ages he has got a he's got two buys coming up,
Speaker 2: and he's got the Panthers in between. Yeah bye Panthers.
Speaker 2: By I think he's the most dropped dude this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah you are one Yeah, you are one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 2: And then Ruben Garrick, which is interesting. So I think
Speaker 2: with a Scott drink Water, he's going to miss two games.
Speaker 2: He's playing the Panthers, He's not going to score well
Speaker 2: agains him, He's going to lose some cash anyway. Definitely,
Speaker 2: a Peppy could be a good option, or Teddy if
Speaker 2: you can work it. So I've done Teddy. I've gone
Speaker 2: straight from Drinkwater to Teddy, and that is one of
Speaker 2: my fullback positions locked in for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm not getting rid of Teddy.
Speaker 1: So I already have Teddy, and so that's why I'm thinking, geez,
Speaker 1: do I do Trail At the moment, I haven't got
Speaker 1: him in my team I'm thinking about doing it. My
Speaker 1: caveat to this would be if you're listening to this
Speaker 1: podcast and you go out and get Pappy, just bear
Speaker 1: in mind it's at your own risk because there's every
Speaker 1: chance he scores fifteen, or the plate comes out of
Speaker 1: his leg, or his fucking elbow shatters into him.
Speaker 2: It. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't go and get him because you
Speaker 1: heard us mention his name on the podcast, and then
Speaker 1: come at us next week and be like, only score thirteen.
Speaker 1: That's the risk we're taking here.
Speaker 2: It is. It's a super pod though it is a
Speaker 2: super pot. I also think if you're getting Pappy, you
Speaker 2: fully and you're aware of the fact that he could
Speaker 2: take a while to get up to speed, but after
Speaker 2: two or three games he'll be cranking out one hundreds
Speaker 2: because that Melbourne team is flying with Jerome Hughes car Tour,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you've got Pappy coming back.
Speaker 1: He still outstrips a lot of scored more points this
Speaker 1: season than the Hammer total points. Yeah right, see, even
Speaker 1: with all of the injuries and all the highlight players
Speaker 1: from the Hammer too. Yeah, exactly, so, I think, and
Speaker 1: the good news is if you have if you're like
Speaker 1: me and you've still got Flare, he's shifted to the wing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I don't think he'll score very well there and
Speaker 1: he could lose cash. But you can keep him this week, yeah,
Speaker 1: to you know, make up your thirteen players. The other
Speaker 1: buyers that we've got in here, Kator and Hughes. I
Speaker 1: think we saw it. They just did it to us
Speaker 1: against the Warriors last weekend. I've already got Carto. Have
Speaker 1: you got Hughes? Yes, I've got both of them. You've
Speaker 1: got both and have head for quite a while. And
Speaker 1: I just think Kato is probably still worth getting in.
Speaker 1: I think Hughes would be. It'd be very hard for
Speaker 1: you to get him in.
Speaker 2: The thing with Hughes is if you're getting him in, fine,
Speaker 2: but you're probably gonna want to get Cleary in soon
Speaker 2: when he comes back. Yeah, but he could be a
Speaker 2: way to sort of bridge the gap Betil. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's beends how many trading. I think that's tough.
Speaker 1: Cells, Garrick, this is the one that you said was
Speaker 1: the second highest sold player this week. He's out with
Speaker 1: the concussion. Then he's got the buy so he's out
Speaker 1: for at least two weeks, but he's also a top
Speaker 1: three wing fullback who you'd want for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, So it comes down to your trades man.
Speaker 1: I think you just put him on your bench and
Speaker 1: forget about him and then bring him back in afterwards.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We were talking about before about luxury trades.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Latrell not to go back to this,
Speaker 1: but he is a luxury stash for me.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can afford it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: So that's that's the other side of it.
Speaker 1: Am I going well enough that I can stash eight
Speaker 1: seventy for six weeks?
Speaker 2: You nah?
Speaker 1: And me to be fair of me either, I have
Speaker 1: been surging up the rankings lately. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it holds.
Speaker 2: I'm strong. If you held him, do you sell him?
Speaker 2: He's on the buy this week as well. He's also
Speaker 2: been replaced by a guy that everyone should pick up
Speaker 2: next week, the fullback for the Knights, who's If Sharp
Speaker 2: Sharp Yeah, because he was originally the night's second choice
Speaker 2: fullback anyway, but he's injured, so that's why Armstrong came in. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And so next week he's played two games and then
Speaker 2: he's on the by this week. So next week bring
Speaker 2: Flitcher sharp and at full back for a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks until Palmer gets back whenever he's due back. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he makes him cash and then you've just got
Speaker 2: to find out whether he's going to be if shut
Speaker 2: minor or if shut major. Hopefully major. Got a feeling
Speaker 2: it's major. Who are you going to captain this week?
Speaker 2: This is a tough question. I fucking hate captains. This
Speaker 2: season has been shit for captains. It's hard to pack,
Speaker 2: isn't it. Every time I pick a captain, they like
Speaker 2: I captain Garrick. He got four yep, sorry, he got nine.
Speaker 2: It's my bed So I got eighteen out of that.
Speaker 2: And I was watching the game ready for him to
Speaker 2: just tear them a new one, like got head in
Speaker 2: the head off from ha Damn. It came back on
Speaker 2: straight away massive high shot, got up wobbly. I was
Speaker 2: like hey, and I turned the TV off. Yeah, then
Speaker 2: turned it back on again. I'm just going to disco
Speaker 2: rest of the season to disco slash Hines. Yeah. Vice
Speaker 2: captain for Feeder, yeah, rest of the season.
Speaker 1: My my history with the vice captain is torrid, so
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm just not even gonna worry about
Speaker 1: who my vice captain is. I'm just gonna go kept
Speaker 1: And yeah, vice captain is on Dave for Feeder, will
Speaker 1: probably stay there for the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, Like we were recently in Bali
Speaker 2: and on a boat trip where we all thought we
Speaker 2: were going to die, and that was the moment I
Speaker 2: was supposed to do the vice captain switch because my
Speaker 2: vice captain scored really well. I was captain loophole.
Speaker 1: You're sitting on a boat in the Indian Ocean, yeah,
Speaker 1: with a Russian gentleman throwing up off the back of
Speaker 1: the boat.
Speaker 2: That's right, and crossing a channel which we probably shouldn't
Speaker 2: have been crossing. And I was supposed to do it then,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't until I got back on land afterwards
Speaker 2: and sit a little prayer and then opened my Supercoach
Speaker 2: app and was like, oh, okay, I should have done that.
Speaker 2: I can't remember who I captained, but they got nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so look for the rest of the season Tedesco and
Speaker 2: then for Feeder as vice and I'm not even gonna
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go ooh Dom Young, good matchup this week.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and the only time that changes is when
Speaker 2: Cleary or Heinz come back. That's right. Origin is done.
Speaker 2: That's right, and you go, oh so I go Cleari
Speaker 2: or Hines this week? Oh Clear's playing this team, I'll
Speaker 2: go for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. So we're both unanimous and the captains.
Speaker 1: So no trades for you this week.
Speaker 2: Just drink to Teddy. That's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair enough. I think if you don't have Teddy,
Speaker 1: you've got to get him. Man captain him at the
Speaker 1: very least. If he shits the bid, everyone else has
Speaker 1: captained him too, So that's what you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of. You won't lose because of him, but
Speaker 1: you could win because of him. All right, Well, with
Speaker 1: any further ado, let's knock this thing on the head.
Speaker 1: We will be back five pm on Saturday. Oh we've
Speaker 1: got a bit to play this actually, hang on, Oh shit,
Speaker 1: all right?
Speaker 2: What is it? The game day? Good hunch?
Speaker 1: The game the game day hunch for the TB. We
Speaker 1: are playing the The Tits are paying two dollars fifty
Speaker 1: to beat us, to beat us New Zealand Warriors dollar
Speaker 1: fifty three AFB anytime tri scorer and Warriors win is
Speaker 1: four dollars fifty.
Speaker 2: I think the Titans medals. Who let me just double check,
Speaker 2: who have they got in the middles? I fucking no one.
Speaker 1: They have Mo fotso Acres their best forward. Who the
Speaker 1: hell is just sighed for Hulu. Let's get on Eden
Speaker 1: for Doua Blake.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's going to be running through the center
Speaker 2: there and he's gonna be Yeah. I think he's definitely
Speaker 2: gonna score.
Speaker 1: And it's boosted to four dollars fifty. Was three dollars sixty.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see it and the Warriors to win,
Speaker 2: and the Warriors to win, I like it all right.
Speaker 2: That's our bit.
Speaker 1: That is the main power play on the TB homepage

Speaker 1: a look at that one. We will be back on
