1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation with Jonesy and man words.

2
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: Good of Billy the intro.

3
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 3: I used to love when he's playing for the Storm,

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 3: not against the Sharks, but whenever you played for the Storm, Billy,

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: I would love watching you play.

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 4: Hello Billy, guys, that's as good as it get on.

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 4: You made me smile this morning. Thank you.

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 5: It's interesting when we look at our footy tippers who've

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 5: had so far the ones this year. Who are the

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 5: lead tippers? Aren't the football players? Prime Minister Scott Morrison

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 5: got five out of eight. Darryl Summers, who lives in

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 5: Melbourne doesn't know a and r L at all, said

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 5: he's got six out of eight. Mark Gable from the

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 5: choir Boys got five out of eight. He pretty much

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 5: got that both throwing the runs, yeah.

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 6: No idea crazy. But then you look at Darius Boyd

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 6: who did play. He got two out of eight.

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: Are you a good tipper?

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to buck the trend. I'm going for

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: eight out of eight.

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 6: Here it is talking.

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 4: It will be a magic weekend for me. Pardon the punt.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 3: Talking the big game Bulldogs versus the Nights. Trent Barrett

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: is his coaching career on the line in this game.

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think both coaches will be under pressure. Adam

26
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 4: O'Brien's team isn't going overly well at the moment either,

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: so I'm going to hit the night. I think it'll

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: be a really close game. And when you're out of form,

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: you've got to work really hard and just try and

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 4: find a way. So these two teams are looking for that.

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: What about the Seagulls and the Broncos.

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 4: I really like the Broncos. I like what they're doing

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: up there. Adam Reynolds is obviously making a huge difference.

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: They get Kirk cape Well back also paying hearts so

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: pretty much full strength, and some of their younger, inexperienced

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: players are really starting to believe that they can be

37
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: one of the top teams in the competition. So Tom Tavoyvitch,

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: with eighty minutes of football under his belt's going to

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: be better for the run. It's going to be a

40
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: really good game on nine, this one at eight o'clock

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: on Friday nine. But I'm going to go with the Broncos.

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought because I thought Adam Reynolds might have

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: been a bit rattled when he played South last week.

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 6: But it didn't. He didn't show any signs of that whatsoever.

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 4: He showed his experience, didn't he And there was I

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: going to talk on the field before the kickoff and

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: during the match. But I suppose you expect that when

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: you come up against your old team.

49
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Rabbit Saturday. That's the first one there.

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: I think the Rabbits here the Warriors. They couldn't beat

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 4: the Sharks with eleven men and twelve men. But yeah,

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: the Rabbits for me, I think they'll just have a

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: little bit too much class.

54
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: And the Titans and the Dragons.

55
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to go to the Titans. There's some really close

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: games this weekend. I think the Titans. I like the

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: combination with Jaden Campbell at fullback, moving aj Brimson back

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 4: to the sixth jersey and Toby Sexton when they play

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: their best football this year, that's that's been the recipe.

60
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: So IM going to stick with the Titans.

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 6: Storm versus Panthers that is going to be the match.

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: The rest, well, they lost their winning streak last week.

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: Well it's the year, isn't it. They're both in form,

64
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: they're one and two, they're on the same competition points.

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: The Panthers as you said they they were the first

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: time they they've been beaten at home in twenty one games.

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: I think twenty nineteen was the last time they got

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: beaten in Penrith and the Yeels upset them last week,

69
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: so they'll be looking to bounce back. And Melbourne ha

70
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: got a couple of injury concerns. No Ryan Pappenhausen, so

71
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 4: Nick Media will play fullback and also Remus Smith the

72
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: right center. He's out with a peck muscle for the

73
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 4: best part of three months. So a few concerns down

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: in Melbourne. But i'd tip against my team and they've

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: they've certainly supported me with my tips over the last

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: couple of years. I'm going to stick with them.

77
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: With your your head, a bit of both.

78
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 6: I heard that Ryan Pappenhausen did a hair hamstring. Is

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 6: that true?

80
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: Caught up in his mullet? You think, well, I just.

81
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 6: Don't know how he keeps that things so styled on

82
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 6: the field.

83
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: What are the other pull it?

84
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 6: How does it happen? It's so it just doesn't. There's

85
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 6: not a hair out of place.

86
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: I know, I know he does. Well, perhaps he's he's

87
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: gonna he's going to spend a month on the sideline,

88
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: but which is unfortunate because he went down at the

89
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: wrong time last year with a head injury and kept

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: him out of the Origin series. So hopefully he can

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: get back in and get his rewards.

92
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: And then on Sunday we have Sharks and Raiders.

93
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 4: Well this one I'm going to I'm going to make

94
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: you happy here, James. I'm going to go to the Sharks.

95
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 4: I think they're a team on the rise. There. I

96
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: put him in the category of the Cowboys the Paramattic Heels,

97
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 4: just below those two top teams. But I'll tell you what,

98
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: they showed some courage and character last week when they

99
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: went down to twelve men for the best part of

100
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: sixty minutes and they were even with eleven men for

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: ten of those minutes and they still got the job done.

102
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: So I like what they're doing down there in the Shire,

103
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: and I think they'll beat the Raiders.

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: All right, Well, my team's the room taking on the Eels.

105
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?

106
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: This is a toss of a coin for me. I'm

107
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 4: going to tip the Eels, but I think the Roosters

108
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: are a real chance. They hit a it a formed

109
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: last week and their key players played well, James Tedesco,

110
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: Luke Keary, Sam Walker and their combinations building. So I

111
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: really don't know on this one, but I'm just going

112
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 4: to go with the form consistent team in the.

113
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 6: Yels and the West Tigers versus the Cowboys.

114
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: I love what the Cowboys are doing up there in

115
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: North Queensland. I think they've got a young, enthusiastic group

116
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: of players. They're all given themselves to the team at

117
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: the moment, and some of their more experienced players, the

118
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: cole Felts, Valentine Holmes, Jordan MacLean, that they've got a

119
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: new lease on life up there with all this youth

120
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: around them. So I'm going to stick with the Cowboys. No,

121
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: Dan Laurie's a concerned for me at the Tigers. I

122
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: just don't think that they can finish off their players

123
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 4: at the moment.

124
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: All right, Well you've said quite boastfully.

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 5: Let's say it, so we'll see.

126
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 6: Here we go, here we go.

127
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,000
