1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,599 Speaker 1: It worries back tonight, looking to repeat last week's opener. 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Of course, busy week for the sport. Actually, Broncos got 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Mitch Barnett. We found that out yesterday. Canan Ponger has 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: switched international Allegiance as well. Richie Barnett's back with us 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: on all of this, Richie morning, good morning. But what 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: do you want out of a swap? So you sell 7 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: Barnette because of the circumstances, What do we need, what 8 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: do we want and who do we want? 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: I think we've I mean it's sort of pipeline now. 10 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: Jesse Arthur's Antonio Verhoeven has supposed supposingly been swapped. You 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 2: want to prop. I mean it's hard to replace someone 12 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: like Mitch. There's not many around that you can replace 13 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 2: someone of his nature and his leadership skills. I've just 14 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: signed a young guy from Paige Wilson, from Winner Manley's 15 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: twenty five years of old to PROP one hundred kilo, 16 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: so that you want a premium popper, you want a 17 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: youngster too. I think they're in the aging side as well. 18 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 2: And it seems like youth and speed seems to be 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: a criteria now in the game because it's getting so fast. 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you enjoy last week. 21 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: I absolutely thought it was an outstanding performance. I'm a Rooster, 22 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: but I know you love the Warriors and I just 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: thought that they they made them look second grade. They 24 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: were that good. They were so disciplined and Roosters were 25 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: ill disciplined. They didn't give respect to the Warriors and 26 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: they just cane them in all areas of the game. 27 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: It was so amazing at the field, go Medis Staine 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: was amazing. 29 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: It was amazing. Now having said that the Raiders are 30 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: the Roosters are a good side, but the Raiders are 31 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: a different side, and the Raiders of last year the 32 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Raiders of this. 33 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: Year, Yeah they are. In fact, they're probably more dangerous 34 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: than they were last year because of their halves and 35 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: their spine is incredible. And Ethan Strange and Ethan Saunders 36 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: as well, both running backs. So it creates a whole 37 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: different dimension to the game. And I think what they 38 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 2: do have Mike in the side, which I love watching 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: the camera Raiders because they're tempos so fast. Their ruck 40 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: speed is the best in the game. So when they 41 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 2: control that, you control the game. So they've got a 42 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: prototype of player which is like one hundred kg mobile, 43 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: aggressive and probably the fittest in the side and the 44 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: youngest squad and then the NRL. So that's the proposition 45 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: that they have to they have to contend with. And 46 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 2: they went't mind the premius for the reason last year 47 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: because that's how hard they are to play. 48 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: Right play if we play as well as we did 49 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: last week tonight and the Raiders being the Raiders, who wins. 50 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: If they played their potential? I think the Raiders get 51 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: them to be honest in my opinion. I mean, everyone's 52 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: got their view, but I just I just feel that 53 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: they've got They've got so much ammunition and their back 54 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: road the spine is incredible, they're running their run, their 55 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: running side Strange and Saunas are incredible. Weeks at the back, 56 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: they've probably got the most potent back five in the 57 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 2: competition as well. They alone Tarpany and they like So 58 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: I hope I'm proved wrong again and I did last week. 59 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: But I just felt, and with Warriors at home and 60 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: their belief from what happened last week they could do anything, 61 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: they could do anything. 62 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: Good stuff, Richie, good to talk to you us always. 63 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Raiders are one eight seven. This is the tab one 64 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: eight seven and Raiders are sorry, so Warriors are one 65 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: eight seven and the Raiders are one nine to five 66 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: so it's tight, but the Warriors are the favorites r 67 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: T s one fifty two, by the way, So you'd 68 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: play for him for goodness sake, wouldn't you.
