WEBVTT - "Mate Vs Mate" 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:10.800 I can know the regular league fans and welcome back 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:13.240 into the Mad Monday Podcast, brought to you as always 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.760 by four and twenty pies, the perfect at home snack 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.000 for watching rugby league until midnight on a Wednesday. My 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.720 name is Tino. I saw a Monday AOI. I'm joined 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.080 by Adam Vanua Kezy this morning, Kezy? How you How 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.120 did you pull up this morning after Wednesday? 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:28.600 Origin? Yeah, I was all good. 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:32.280 I actually on the way home stopped at Wendy's Oh 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.880 and got some nuggies and a little chicken Berger there. 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.600 Even after all those Mad Traveler pies that we had. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.320 I was still hungry. Yeah, and so I ate that 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.680 watched something, went to sleep at like one am. Yeah, 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.800 and then because I do afternoon radio, I just set 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:50.600 my arm for eight thirty. Oh goodness, goal luxurious. Yeah yeah, sleeper. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.320 How did you pull up? I did the same thing. 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.040 Oh really yeah, one hundred percent. But yeah, no, it 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.480 was like it was a hell of a game last night. 0:00:59.000 --> 0:00:59.600 Origin three. 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.680 The when I was saying this this morning on the 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.840 Agenda podcast, we were watching it last night right on 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.080 my place and the bottom right hand corner because it 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.399 was nine not fox no, no, no, yeah, And they had 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.040 the clock but it just said one h for the 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.000 start of the game. It was funny. Ages were like, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.080 what the hell has scored? Then eventually it flicked over 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.840 and it was counting down. Then they switched it and 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.960 it was counting back up. Anyway, long short of that 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.119 was when I finally found out how long the game 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.880 had been going for. It only said eight minutes, and 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.000 I was like, yeah, I've been watching this since I 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.399 was about ten years old. This game has gone on 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.240 forever in a good way. It wasn't dragging, no, it 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:34.080 was just frantic. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.200 It was so much action. Man, it was hictic from 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.080 the get go, and. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.720 It was obviously that origin intensity that everyone talks about. 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.200 And then the dudes that were leading the charge like 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.440 Pat Carrigan, I've never seen him that rived up before. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.520 Yeah, and I reckon. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.640 There are about six high shots in the first sort 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.720 of ten minutes that the Rift did not give a 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.880 shit about. Whereas when your regular season NRL a slight 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.640 slap to the face, these days they're sitting you off 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.800 for an HIA and it's just because that's the rules. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:01.800 Hi A. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.720 Speaking of hs Angus Crichton past and Hi A, it 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.560 wasn't as it wasn't his head that got knocked. He 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.200 had a horizontal scorpion where he bend his head backwards. 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:13.959 It was a neckershoe. I don't think it was that 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.440 is it was a head knock. 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.880 Well, I mean I saw that it was with Reese 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.400 Walsh's hip. I believe it was. It was a spinal injury. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.160 But they showed it, and they showed like, let's get 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.519 one thing straight. Yes, that was terrible for his spine 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.359 and his neck, and he will be in a wheelchair 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.519 at some stage, that's right. But also watching that in 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.760 slow motion, his eyes rolled back into his head. He 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.080 was con cast. But because it's origin, there was an 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.839 origin style, hi A, And then just let him come back. 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:41.839 I don't know if you've seen have you ever seen 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.200 the picture of the human nervous system and it's been 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:45.680 pulled out of the body and you can see where 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.960 all the nerves go. No, the eyes are connected to 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.880 the to the brain are looking at That sounds real 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.120 messed up because I'm a Rugby League fan and I 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.359 need to understand the machinations of the human body. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.119 Chris right, So the eyes, yes. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.440 Are connected to the brain connected to the theme of 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.959 the spinal cord, which is what he hit. And it's 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.440 basically like remember those toys we pull a little string 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.519 and the arms come up and the leagues come out. Yeah, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.520 basically he did that with his spinal cord. As I reckon, 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.839 his spinal cord got pulled so hard that it rolled 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.079 his eyes into the back of his head right, making 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.560 it look like he was concussed. But actually it was 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.280 just that his spinal cord had been ripped out, which 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.360 is fine, yea. And it came right and he played on. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.119 Rust not only play on, but then get the Man 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.520 of the series. He was excellent. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.040 He was excellent, And I can't believe at the start 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.080 of the season there were all these like whispers around 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.520 the roosters, you know, wanting to sign David Forfeeda to 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.040 replace him and blah blah blah. Meanwhile, towards the end 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.440 of the season, Dave Forafete is not even in the 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.080 Queensland side and Angus Crichton is Man of the Series. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.400 Yeah. I don't know. I wouldn't. I can't believe it 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.440 because at the time he wasn't playing that well. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.720 He was playing terrible and all those rumors going around 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.040 at him and Amsterdam taking mushies, and I. 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.080 Saw a good interview with him. Actually, it's worth going 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.040 and listen to. I haven't seen that one, you know, 0:03:59.080 --> 0:03:59.960 the one you're talking about. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.560 It because I thought when I tuned into it, I 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:02.760 was like, Oh, here we go. This is going to 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.440 be the straight bat. He's going to bullshit his way 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.440 through all this stuff. He didn't, didn't he hasn't he 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:07.440 got bipolar or something. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:09.760 Yeah, he does. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.680 Yeah, I don't think that means he didn't go with 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.080 the rails at episode right, so he yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:18.600 you know what I mean. I don't think that one 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.360 excludes the other. Yeah, but anyway, that's all slander. 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:22.760 You're on it. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:28.040 He had an absolutely outstanding season, series, season and season. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.599 Yeah, but a biff. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.080 I was saying before the game, we were placing our bets, 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.400 and I was like, if there was a way that 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.240 I could get on a sin bedding, I would I 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.360 couldn't find the market for it. Sure enough, it happened. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.960 Both teams a bit of a brew haha between Daily 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:47.760 Cheer Evans and Jerome Lewe aka both team's most annoying players. Yeah, well, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.880 Daily Cheery Evans was into everything last night. He's like, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.880 I have so much respect and rightly so for Daily 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.440 Cheer Evans. He's a phenomenal player who's like his career 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.719 is insane. I'd just still be playing Origin at forty 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.880 three years old exactly. He's actually forty four. And he's 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.240 such a shit stirer though, but not to the extent 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.520 that Jerome Luay is. No, he's smart about it, whereas 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.479 Jerome Lewie, who's and by the way, I'm a New 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.080 South Wales fan, he's just a cock. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.560 Well he is. I love New south Wales. I like 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.039 it if Jerome Lewis as a play. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:24.920 He's such a good player. He literally sit up there 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.440 try for Bradman Beers. Yeah, he just blew the game 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.920 wide open, little wide open. That he's the main reason 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.520 that New South Wales won that game. You know, I 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.080 would argue that he was almost man of the match. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.400 By the way, Dylan Eddwood's got that I got paid 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.400 out sweet. Oh yes, But I just don't like him. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.320 No, he is intensely unlikable. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.000 I know, I like and you don't have to be loved, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.520 but he almost goes out of his way to make 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.760 people hate his guards. Some people need it. I think 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.400 he could be one of those people who needs to 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:53.040 be racked up. 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.920 That's just yeah, okaya vibe. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.000 Yeah, and he's like, look maybe if I grow my 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.560 hero out real long, it'll make people hate me and 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.320 I need that fuel. Yeah right, okay to carry on. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.240 So yeah, that sparked a bit of an all in 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.120 brew haha. No punches thrown, but it was a real 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.839 chippy game and I've just seen this afternoon that there's 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.360 been two suspensions handed out for that. One was for 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.680 Cam Murray because he comes streaking down the sideline to 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.320 get involved, and the other one was for Hamali Lakwasu, 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.960 who was in a suit on the weekend on the 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:21.880 bench by the way. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:23.520 Ola quit. It's a great game from him. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.719 We were cracking up twice because first of all, they 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.560 are in the Harddle New South Wales and Hudle like 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.680 geeting themselves up. He's just in the background eating a 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.000 bray burd yeah in a suit, yeah, with a big 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.839 grit on his face. If you're not playing, I'd probably 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.400 cut the snacks out, you know, someone else might need that. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.080 Just hands in his pockets eating it at apple. Yeah. 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.240 So funny and Mitch Barnett a tremendous game. We'll get 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:45.680 into his. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.160 Stats and that later on. In fact, we won't. I 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.720 haven't pulled any stats, but he played really well. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.800 Just gonna say, shit, it was was I supposed to 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:52.600 bring no, no, no, no. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.600 Oh, you didn't know, but he was. And we've been 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.040 saying this for the longest time. He's a State of 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.240 Origin player. He was going around the lock geeing everyone up. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.960 He made a point of going over to Homoliolokuatu and 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.280 geing him up while he was standing in a suit 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.120 with one hand in his pocket and the other one 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.560 eating a free burn. Shout out to all onus, Morris 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.520 set and I think that that just showed the mana 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.280 of Mitch. But that Mitch Monner. And this is remember 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:19.960 when he was away and we got do you remember 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.560 this an historic l chucked on us by the Titans? Yes, 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.440 sixty sixty six. He wasn't there. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.360 Yeah, we were saying the man, yeah he is, so 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:30.960 the guy that fires us all up. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.400 Yes, so he is crucial and will he turn it 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.160 around tomorrow night against the Raiders, that's the big question. Well, 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.960 he's named, we were saying, we were just saying this 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.720 before the podcast. We're like I said, will neither him 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.760 nor Capeal have been named, despite the fact that I 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.200 copied and pasted the team listening to our rundown and 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.040 they're both on there. They're both on there. They've both 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:54.120 been named, But I mean, do you think that they'll start. 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.480 They've both been named to start, but they both played 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.960 massive minutes and I don't know if you saw Mitch 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.360 Barnett out there, he was holding back. No, no, he 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.000 was being a psycho, which I absolutely loved. My theor 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.400 in we'll get into the Warriors shortly is that this 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:08.800 is do or die for the Warriors. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.640 We have to win this game. It's the Raiders. Like. 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.720 If he doesn't play this game, yeah, I think he'll 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.880 just play. He'll play fifty minutes in the front row. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.760 He's named it PROP, but usually he goes from Prop 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.760 to back row and then Ford like they do some 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.280 weird stuff there. I think he'll just play the prop 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.080 rotation minutes hopefully and hopefully a few lighter a bit 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.880 of a lighter load. Yeah, you're right, we'll get to it. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.280 He's not a guy though that can do a lighter load. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.199 He'll say, yeah, yeah, I'll do a lighter load. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:33.760 Then he won't. Yeah, he'll go helpful with it. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.320 Ridiculous pace we mentioned the final score line was actually 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.440 fourteen to four, and at halftime it was two all, 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:40.480 which I don't think. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.240 Anyone had in their in their malties. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:43.720 You tell me that it's going to be two all 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.920 at halftime, then I'll say, oh, that sounds boring. It 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.560 wasn't boring, No, it was so great. It was just 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.400 high intensity. The scuffles that were breaking out were ridiculous. 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.600 It was like eight in the first half. The ref 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.000 was in the middle of one. As we said, one 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.600 was on the sideline. But by the way, just on 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.880 that sideline one. Both Cam Murray and all the quiet 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.640 too are facing two games on the sideline bass they 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.319 can challenge it, and then got three and they probably 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.200 would end up being three. So yeah, i'd reckon it 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.520 will be two games. But anytime you're facing a charge 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.040 and you weren't playing, just copy it, yeah, exactly. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.880 Getting sent from the field with a suit on that 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:17.480 you weren't on. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.679 Yeah, But to be honest and daily, Cherry Errands was 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.000 all fired up about some shit, you know, towards the 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.880 end there about how he came off the field. That 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.440 should have been a penal about KM Murray, I think, yeah, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.680 but I don't think that would have made much of 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.880 a difference. I mean, if Bradman Best's first two breaks 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.400 even into it in one try, and if Stephen Crichton 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.040 didn't drop the ball over the trail and it would 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:41.360 have been an absolute hiding, it. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.640 Could have been worse. And then fourteen points to four 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:44.680 to the Blues. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.680 And I think basically what happened was it was so 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.319 hectic for an hour of that match that in the 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.480 last twenty minutes it was going to blow open one 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.600 way or the other. Yeah, And unfortunately for the Maroons 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.120 it was all one way traffic. For the Blues, it 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.120 happened to coincide with Kaylee and Ponger coming onto the field. Yeah, 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.760 that was wasn't his fault. I don't think it's Kaylen 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.440 pong as well. I think if you're gonna have him 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.640 the hammer and Reese Walsh out there, like those guys 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:16.120 all are attacking phenomenons. Yeah, defensively the okay, you know, 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.600 like it said, three small bodies that you're bringing on 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.880 and you're anticipating out offensing. 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.880 Yeah, but to be honest, and the first half showed 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:25.640 it. It was all about Deet. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.720 There was no offense that gave me. Reese Welsh just 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.000 showed why he wasn't the fullback that we needed at 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:30.520 the Warriors. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:30.920 That's right. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.240 It was because, yeah, he's mean. He's a flat track bully. 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.280 When you're up by forty points, he carving dudes up. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.120 He's throwing skucky harbor Bridge passes. He's slicing dudes up 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.160 out of nowhere. That's right when you're down in the shit. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.560 In game three Origin Sun Gorp made against mate, State 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.400 against State, He's probably not what you needed back there 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.680 because that much that last Mitch Moses try, he sort 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.120 of jagged back on the inside and then it was 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.720 just a little swerve past Reese Walsh who's just. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:57.960 Clutching his shadow. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.160 It was a ship try, Like, yeah, it was cool 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.640 because and Mitch Moses's running game is awesome, but that's cool. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.520 It wasn't a State of Origin decider at Suncrp. No. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.680 The Bradman best one was that was sick and he 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.800 watching him and he's been playing excellent for the Knights, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.959 but watching him, I was like, this guy's going to 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.360 be I reckon next year. He's going to be like 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.160 one of those guys in Super Coach you have to have. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.920 He is running so fast and he is so big 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:22.800 and strong. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:23.520 Yeah, massive meat. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.320 He had tremendous got legged at it, amazing cut on 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.360 his lip that reminded me of I don't know if 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.760 you're familiar with Robbie Lawler from the UFC, but he 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.520 had a similar thing where he won a fight but 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.880 had a split in his lip and when he celebrated 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.880 and like let out a row, it's split all the 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.280 way out to his nose. That's basically what was happening 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.760 to Bradman Best last night. And I think he liked it. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:47.360 Yeah. 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.719 I think he was like, these photos are going to 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.920 live forever. I'll have these printed, you know, Yeah, They'll 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.760 be on posters on my wall. And I think that 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.160 he's bought himself another three years of origin. But just 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.400 by not only scoring that try, but even if he hadn't, 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.520 just bullocking runs and a ripped lip for the state 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.959 that I think that locks him in. So I agree, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:14.920 or Who's who's the other center for Chrichton shit? Because 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.320 I'm like, but you've gotta have a trail in there. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.280 I think you figure it out with Bredman mess. Maybe 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.000 he hadn't, And like you're right about that photo, Like 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.599 his photo of him with the split lip is the 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.280 same as Trump with the cut here with the shot ere. Yeah, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.480 that's going to be on his poster for years and 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.880 that yeah, because he just looked insane. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.199 Yeah, it was badass. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:38.480 It also is going to massively shift the power dynamics 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.559 in the changing rooms at Newcastle because the two defenders 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:46.680 that he beat with Kayln Ponger and also Origin Gags, 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.440 Origin Gags who got skinned a couple of times. And 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.640 just let him let him just play for Newcastle, That's 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:53.160 to be honest. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.920 I reckon other way, let him just play. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:59.320 For He's like, he's not Origin Gags anymore. He's he's 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.720 getting older, you know what I mean? See this and 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.319 this is the thing. Looking back at the game now, 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.599 I'm like, of course they lost Harry Grant's got a 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.160 sternam injury. There was no months even like Xavier Coats 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.360 wasn't there. Felice Caafusi started, They had a platoon swap 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:12.040 at their front row. 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:12.800 That was weird. 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:14.680 All of the Beach players came on to start and 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.000 I I read that at the time as I think 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.160 this is Billy Slater trying to play mind games where 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.480 he's named a different front row to try and fuck with. Yeah, 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.439 New South Wales, I reckon, that's what he was doing. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.760 And I think anytime you're resorting to that kind of stuff, 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.280 that's some New South Wales shit. Yeah, you're already on 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.600 the you're already on the back foot. 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.800 Queensland are just like usually like, oh, we don't care 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:34.839 what you're doing. We're just going to do about what 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:35.240 we're doing. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.480 Yeah, whereas Billy quite Yeah, it was so weird by 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.520 the way, and CAFUSI had a mean game and he's 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.000 definitely an origin player, oh for sure. But yeah, that 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:45.560 was it was really random. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.320 Are we watching the descent of a man into madness? 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.120 After one game? A game? 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.360 The first game he came in and he was so calm, 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.120 coockture of himself. He's like, yeah, no, we're gonna work. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.960 Second game, he starts argue with the media. No, I 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.560 didn't say that. I didn't say this, that this should 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:04.839 have been a head eye, this shouldn't have been a 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.680 send off. Blah blah blah blah blah. Game three, he's 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.599 fucking mad manning at mad Max and with all the 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.480 different players and switching dudes around as he's like that 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.880 always sunny Philadelphia meme. Yeah of Pepper silver or whatever 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.760 it's called, with all the strings and things in the corkboard. 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.320 Well he's lost it. What I think he has lost 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.400 is well, just the state of origin. State of origin 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.480 by a massive margin. And that's only the thirdy of 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.120 a decider in sun Corp. The New South Wales is 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.360 once so that's bloody excellent. But I think that whole hoodoo, 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.240 at least for a week while of winning a decider 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.720 in sun Corp and going to sun Corp New South 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.400 Wales with the team that they've put together and the 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.960 way they've been playing and the points they left out there, 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.960 I think it's unpredicting and I'm a New South Wales 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.400 fan that for the next few years it's. 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:50.920 New South Wales. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:55.040 Oh shit, yeah, like the next three years three. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.920 Years, get on the futures markets on the TV. I'm 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:58.280 going to. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.720 But other other than it was it was well worth 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.560 staying up on a Wednesday night to watch that. There 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.320 was a tremendous game of State of Origin fortball. It 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.600 was tight right up until about the last ten to 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.680 fifteen minutes. It was frantic, like you said, two all 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.080 at halftime, but at entertaining, Yeah, entertaining to all. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.560 Most all of my bits. But it was well worth it. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.920 Yeah, so mine I put I think I put ten 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.760 bucks on New South Wales to when, which they did, 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.680 and then I put three bucks or something on Dylan 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.720 Edwards to get mad of the match. And because it 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.080 was a tight game. This is a good thing to 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.080 keep in mind going forward. Whenever you can think there's 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.320 going to be a tight game, whoever gets the most 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.600 meters is just gonna get mad of the match. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.080 Yeah, and it was Dylan Edwards. Yeah. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:39.720 So I didn't even realize he got mad of the 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.400 match until this morning. I woke up and checked it. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:42.920 I was like, oh shit, he got mad at the match. Yeah, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.880 two hundred and eighty three meters or something. It would 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.680 have been Bradman best if he didn't drop those two 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.920 balls because he was insane. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:50.240 Yeah. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.160 But yeah, so that's the f and doubt just the 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.880 guy with the most meters man of the match. That's 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.160 a great fitting strategy. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.760 Yeah, I quite like that. All right. We talked about 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.120 whether Cape I was gonna play. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.080 We talked about whether Mitch Barnett is going to play, 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.720 where we're going to take a quick break, come back 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:08.920 and digest an interesting Warriors teamless or I will get 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.760 to the Mitch Barnett and the Kirk cape well of 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:11.640 it all in just a sec. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.520 But I wanted to start with tor Who Harris. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.360 It came out earlier this week that he's out for 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:22.200 the rest of the season after electing to take risk surgery. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.240 He's got a bug risk. I think it's been plaguing 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:24.800 him for a while. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.160 He's been out and out and now he's going to 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:28.600 be out for the rest of the season. He is 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.640 our captain. How big a blow is it losing tor 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.680 Who Harris for the rest of the season. Well, it's 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.520 a huge blow, isn't it. I mean, tour Who's been 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.440 that one constant throughout years of turmoil at the Warriors. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.440 You can always rely on him. I don't think it's 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.480 as much of a loss as it was at the beginning. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.240 It would have been at the beginning of the season. Yeah, 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.880 I almost feel like Mitch Barnett's the captain now. Yeah, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.440
