1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: It's semi finals in the NRL. Our last Mystery Footy

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Tipper was Brad Fiddler. He got almost a perfect round.

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 3: Out of four.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 4: Can't stop saying that he's still almost picked it.

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 3: I know, but we've had people all year who had

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 3: to pick eight.

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 4: Okay, but he did well. He got three out of

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 4: four today.

10
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a big deal.

11
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: Our Mystery Footy Tipper graduated with a Bachelor of Arts

12
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: and Journalism.

13
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 4: Didn't you do that? The same as you?

14
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: They began their career with Fox in two thousand and six.

15
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: When did we start this radio show together two thousand

16
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: and five? They are talented sports pert and very good

17
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: under fire when it comes to pressure. We're talking about

18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: Lara Pit a lot of tenth, a lot of ten.

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: With the level of enthusiasm.

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 4: I want to drink what he is drinking is Lara Pitch. Hi, Lara,

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 4: you are great?

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, how good?

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: That is so good?

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: It's so good to speak to you. I don't know.

25
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: One thing I do know is that people love seeing

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: other people get stitched up on live TV, because that

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: has been the big topic the week for me. I

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: don't think i've had many people this. Many people come

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: up to me and want to talk about it.

30
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: There must be a terrible inevit inevitability when they say, hey,

31
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: we want to do a live cross outside the stadium

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: of Jazz.

33
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: Favor Fan Favorites?

34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: Was that you Jonesy?

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 4: But I always appreciate that stuff.

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: And Lara, I often think if I was in your position,

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: is that a blessing or is it a curse?

38
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: What do you what do you think going into it?

39
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I think that it's Shark Park and you don't have

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: many options. As we know, there's like I think about

41
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: it in hindsight, we should we have gone across the road,

42
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: should we have hidden in the trees? But it's just

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: part of the It's part of the Fabrica Rugby League.

44
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: The fans are so passionate. Sometimes if the shark is

45
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: a one, it would have been banned. Going absolutely bananas

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: behind me. It just so happened that guy, obviously was

47
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: very disappointed was the result and sports. In hindsight, I

48
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: could have said a lot of other things. I was

49
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: just trying to move him along to do my job,

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: But I could have come up with a lot of

51
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: other very funny things to say to him about the

52
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: fact that his team just bombed out of the finals.

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: But you said, okay, buddy, that's it.

54
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: He also he could have said much worse things. You're

55
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: really right, you're walking on a tightrope, aren't you?

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 4: Speaking of titrapes? Now?

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: We are into the finals here it is Storm versus

58
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: the Roosters.

59
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: I only have two games to pick from it. There's

60
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure here. I've got to get both

61
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: of these right, yeah, I think. I mean, Amanda, how

62
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: are you feeling about the Roosters? I think that they

63
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: did unbelievably well to win that game at Shark Crack.

64
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: I could not believe it. And now you know they've battered,

65
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: They've lost three of their back five. You know, it's

66
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: to be such a hard one to go down to

67
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: Melbourne because Melbourne are pretty cranky with themselves. They were

68
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: awful last week.

69
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: It's a hard one, isn't it. And I think they've

70
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: probably been sitting in a raid OCX bath for a week.

71
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: But it was like watching the walking wind, wasn't it at.

72
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: The end of the game.

73
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: And I kind of felt if that's as far as

74
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: we go, that's okay, because it was a hugely heroic game.

75
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I think so. I watched Teddy in the tunnel

76
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: when he got simbind and he was just like, oh, please,

77
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: don't let this be the end for me, because it's

78
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: been such an emotional up and down season for the

79
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: club and for him and form wise. But for them

80
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: to get that win, yeah, it was enormous. I don't

81
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: think they go down to Melbourne with really any expectation

82
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: on them, so perhaps that helps them and work in

83
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: their favor. But I can't I can't see that the

84
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: upset happening two weeks in a row for them. I

85
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: think the Storm with months to coming out and giving

86
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: himself a bath with his performance, and you know, we

87
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: expected so much more from them against the Broncos. I

88
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: feel like they're the ones that are going to rise

89
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: to the occasion and win through here is so sorry, No.

90
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: That's okay, I understand that.

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: Quin. You'll see Amanda behind you in your.

92
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: I'll take a tooth out.

93
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I somehow feel I'm Savor in Melbourne for my Live

94
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: Crosses this week. The AFL Finals are on there too,

95
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think I'm going to get accosted if

96
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: I set up outside there.

97
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: Somehow Warriors versus the Knights.

98
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one I keep jumping back and forth because

99
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: there's a few storylines here as well. Sean Johnson has

100
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: a big question mark over his calf. I initially think

101
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: Warry is straight up because of the incredible way the

102
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: support that they've gotten, the sellout and the momentum behind

103
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: them from their fan base. But yeah, they also might

104
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: be feeling a bit of the pinch at this time

105
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: of the year with injuries and Johnson is so important

106
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: to their success. The Knights come in with no pressure.

107
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: I feel the big win last week at home was

108
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: so enormous to them, so they could just throw caution

109
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: to the wind and feel like no one's giving them

110
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: a hope. I keep jumping ship on this one, but

111
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to stick with the home side and saying

112
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and say that the worry is they've had such an

113
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: incredible season and that their home fans will well, you

114
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: know it'll be it's going to be epic over there.

115
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: I think what the scenes will be enormous and I

116
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: see them winning through over Newcastle.

117
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: I noticed as well the nrl w's tonight it's the

118
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: West Tigers versus the Knights.

119
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: I watched the Sharks versus Saint George game last week.

120
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: That was great.

121
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first local derby. I'm filthy on you. I mean,

122
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm a Dragons fan. Yeah, I'm a Dragon fland load.

123
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: So yeah. But they then has been fantastic and this

124
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: is the last round of the NLW regular season. We're

125
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: heading to finals next week. The Knights of the form team.

126
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: They knocked off the high flying Roosters last week and

127
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: they can wrap up the minor premiership with a win

128
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: in the game tonight and then we head towards finals.

129
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: The for the women's game and that is just getting

130
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: bigger and better every year, which is so wonderful to see.

131
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: And it's great to have our dedicated show on Fox

132
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: League for the very first time this year, so the

133
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: girls get to tell the stories of their of their game,

134
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: and there are plenty of them.

135
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: And we'll see the Sharks and the grand final. That's

136
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 4: my lock.

137
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: They're not making the top four. I'm sorry again break

138
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: it to you. No, the Sharki's missed the Sorry. First season,

139
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: they were a bit disappointing. They had a lot of

140
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: hype around them and they and they did underperform a

141
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: little bit because they have a number of stars. They

142
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: brought some big names to the club, but they missed out.

143
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: They beat the Dragon, so they've got that under their

144
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: under their caps. They beat the Dragons in the first

145
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: local derby and they had some couple of good wins

146
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: this year. But it's a short season and you can't

147
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: afford to have back to back wins in the back

148
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: to back losses in the nner of w Well.

149
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: I'm a Shark supporter. I know there's always next year. Yes, absolutely,

150
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,960
