1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 2: We're straight into Round eight of the NRL and we 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: have another mystery tipper on the show. Today's mystery footy tipper. 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 3: Kind of a big deal is it's the information. 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 2: They had to retire from footy at the age of 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 2: twenty five due to injury. They were a dual international 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: in both union and league. They represented Australia at the 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: Olympics and they are now a footy commentator. I speak 9 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: about one, not the one, the only. Alana Ferguson from Channel. 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 3: Live Carolana, Hello, how are you very good? 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Thank you? How are you guys? We're very well. 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 3: How did the union and league thing come about? I 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 3: know often for boys it's because they do union at 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 3: school or league at school. How did how are both 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: these games introduced to you? 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: Oh? Look, I started playing league when I was four, 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: so I was born and bred, and then as an 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: adult a guest or just for for the Olympics when 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: they were scouting other sports to sort of grow women's 20 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: rugby union. Then I sipped my finger in that pie 21 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: and had a little crack there. So I've been a 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: league forever and given union a little bit of a 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: crack and just I just love footy. 24 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: I've noticed with the Jila Rougi had to face the 25 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: Kuwi equivalent of the All Blacks, and they do their 26 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: version of the Harker, but the female hacker mate. 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Everything the females do is more brutal. I reckon, I've 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: seen both, and it's just like females are a little 29 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: bit more feral, but it's it's awesome. Nothing gets me 30 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: more pumped through. 31 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: A game than the Harker, the female hacker. 32 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: When fuck, I was hoping you weren't going to say that. 33 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 3: When you were little playing league, did you play in 34 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: a mixed team and then when tackling came in you 35 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 3: went into girls and boys in separate leagues? 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: No, I didn't, so I was actually the I played 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: with the boys. I was always the only girl. Girls 38 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: can only play up until they're twelve. So actually in 39 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: my last year, which was when I was in year six, 40 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: I played against another girl. But yeah, my whole childhood, 41 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: I was the only girl I ever played with her against, 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: which I loved because I just grew up knowing how 43 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: I was saying, it's not better than the boy, absolutely. 44 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: But now I mean it's a good thing. Now we 45 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: have but now we have separately leagues, don't we for 46 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: the women and the men even when the kids are little? 47 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, Look, I think both great. I loved playing 48 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: with the boys as a kid, and I don't think 49 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: there's too much different. You know, before the boys hit 50 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: puberty and everyone evolves a little bit, it's a fair game. 51 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: But definitely as bodies starts to change, it needs to evolve. 52 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: And the fact that you know, we've got women's competitions 53 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: in adults so that you know, kids of both enders 54 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: can sort of aspire. Who I think it's amazing. 55 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, look we're kicking off with the Raiders and 56 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: the Rabbit Ears, and isn't it What do you think? 57 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: Oh, big game. I'm actually about to head in the 58 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: car and go to canber after it is. I can't 59 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: wait for this one. I think the Raiders they really 60 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: need to find a little bit of back phone. I'm 61 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: not sure that they're playing the best style of footy 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: for the way that the game's developed, but there's plenty 63 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: of rooms for that. They The key of the Raiders 64 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: for me, just get Jack White and the ball. He's 65 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: not getting enough good ball and he's very dangerous, so 66 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: I just think he's getting it the time. But Ricky 67 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: Stewart's you know, he's not happy about how they're going, 68 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: so he's made the more changes. But that'll be interesting. 69 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: Cody Walker at fullback the South can't wait to see 70 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: that one play out. I've got Benzi on the field 71 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: as well. I just love the combination. The spine's exciting 72 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: out Stuart. But it's a tricky game to go to Canberra, 73 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: but yeah it'll be it'll. 74 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: Be a good one and Storms versus Storm versus Sharks. 75 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: Sharks didn't do it. 76 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: Jones is a Shark fan, but you can be honest 77 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: with us, Alana No. 78 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: I'm a Sharkis fan too, and I'm filthy about it 79 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: because they're not playing as good as what they should be. 80 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: They got Wade Graham back, which is a huge in 81 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: for the Sharkis. Jonesy will know. He just brings a 82 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: lot of back zone to the toe and we'll get 83 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: the boys up. He's a big spirit, big big part 84 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: of their spirits. Melbourne Storm no taps, no a sofer 85 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: Solomon now, but they're still the Melbourne Storm. They just 86 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: they find the players to put the jersey on and 87 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: get the job done. So I need and I'm sure 88 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: you do too, Jonesy. I need to see them fight. 89 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: We need want to come out swinging and because they're 90 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: just not good nothing, I'm okay with that, but they 91 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: need to show the fight. 92 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: I'm just wondering about Andrew for feeder. He's been doing 93 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: very well playing and he's lost twenty kilos in the 94 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: reserve grade league or whatever that is, So could he 95 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: possibly come back. I'd hate to see his career finish, 96 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: you know, in reserve grade. 97 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, with you there, I don't think his body was 98 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: up to it physically, and that affects the feed and 99 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: mentally a lot as well. So I think he will 100 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: be just as big of a part of that decision 101 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: as the coaching staff. So when he feels like he's 102 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: up to it and he's one of those plays that 103 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: just wants to do for the team. So if he's 104 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: feeling good and he knows that he can make a 105 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: good impact, I think we'll see him back. But I 106 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: reckon it'll all just be not just physically but mentally 107 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: to him as well. But yeah, I'm with you, I'd 108 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: love to see him back, but yeah, he needs to 109 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: be one hundred percent. 110 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: All right, well, let's get to the Broncos and the Titans. 111 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: What's happening there? You think, ooh, tricky one. 112 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: You know. The Bronco is what the four reshuffle of 113 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: the half? They've got Tarp and Damble and Milford in 114 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: the half. There no bit and cross. They both got 115 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: the flick. So it's so hard to predict the Broncos 116 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: because they're all over the shop. They've got so many 117 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: different changes. For sure, the strength of Theirs is attack. 118 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: They're enormous, but they just haven't had any creativity off 119 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 1: the back of it. So I guess the big question 120 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: is what can Type and Gamble and Milk would do 121 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: off the back of the forward pape And it comes 122 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: down to that. But the Titans are playing great footing, 123 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: so I can't sit against the Titans. 124 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: All right, Pantasy Eagles. 125 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: We have a great round of footy because I feel 126 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: like I'm saying I'm excited again, but I really am tenrous, undefeated, 127 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: happy Chorus now is back in the hooking position. He's 128 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: one of my favorite players in the NRAL. He's so great, 129 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: So huge inclusion for him coming back. But then manly, 130 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: now that Tommy Turbo's back and has just fully thrown 131 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: a spanner in the worst and he's playing the most 132 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: incredible attacking footy and just putting coins on the board 133 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: for Manly. It'll be a great game, Penrith. I think 134 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: they'll stay undefeated. They're too good pulled on the rest 135 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: of the years. Yeah, Doggie's had their first win, which 136 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: is good. I love seeing Barrett have a little tear 137 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: shows how much it means to just ment to him. 138 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: Hopefully for the boys, that just means that you know 139 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: they want to they want to get that feeling in again. 140 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: They'll harness it. You just to sing your team song 141 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: after the game and it means so much. It gives 142 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: your singles down the spine. Hopefully they can remember that 143 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: feeling and really throw it to the Eels because the 144 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: Eels should win. But it's also one of those tricky 145 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: games that you know the Eels have it in them 146 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: to not win games us is to not play their 147 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: best footies when they are coming up against uh, you know, 148 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: not the strongest team they play the event footy against 149 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: the Roosters and Melbourn and South. So it's a great 150 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: game for the board of They've got a little bit 151 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: of momentum and they can really stick it to the eel. 152 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: But you go on, and I'm a Roosters fan. I'm 153 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: a Rooster's fan. How do you think they'll go with 154 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: the Knights? 155 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll They'll get the job done, whether they got 156 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Sakiahoe back on the bench. The halves are a little 157 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: bit inexperienced, but I love them. I love watching them 158 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: play footy. Sam Walker in particulars bad about him. He 159 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: is incredible. Yeah, and I know that everyone's saying he's inexperience, 160 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: but he's he's stood up to the test, He's turned 161 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: the momentum of the game. I just love that he 162 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: backs himself. He's an eighteen year old kid. He's playing 163 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: in the NRL, a game that's turned into quite a 164 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: structured attacking mindset from most teams, and he's just ignored 165 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: that they've got some structure that they're back to. I know, 166 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: Robo just says, you know what, you go out and 167 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: place footy and if we have to change it, we will, 168 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: And that's what he does. I just I love watching 169 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: him play so much. The Knights are in a bit 170 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: of trouble. 171 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: For mess all the way off pace.
