1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 2: Karen Molon, Hello, good morning, Amanda Jones. How are you, 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: Amanda Jonesy. Maybe that's what we should call the show, 4 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 2: Savanda Jones, what are you? Maybe that's what happens. We 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 2: just blend into each other. That means I only have 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: to pay you one salary. Don't do it. We'll take 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: Amanda's side of the salary. The Roosters wasn't roosters in 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: the eels. That was like a Grand Final game last 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: week was incredible, phenomenal. It's so funny the past two 10 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: Friday nights, Friday that Saturday Night MAT's. You know, at 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: the end of each game, the guys on our paddel 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: would say game of the year so far, Game of 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: the year so far, and then Saturday Night Game of 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: the year so far. We've had three games of the 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: year so far in two weeks. It's just, you know, 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: the standard has been incredible. What's the thing And Peter 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: Sperling pointed this out, is, you know, the. 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: Gap between the lower level teams and the high level 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: teams is as wide as it's ever been. And this 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: is you're having these incredible blowouts, but also these incredibly tight, 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: amazing kind of old school Regia League games that have 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: this great defense and you know, real battle of attrition. 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: It's just it's so good to watch when it's good, 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: there's nothing better. And yeah, that game was Saturday night. 25 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: That was just phenomenal viewing. 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: I was. I was actually initially disappointing that disappointed that 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: Fox Sports had it and Channel nine didn't, But then 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: you know, to be able to sit at home and 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: watch it was just wonderful. So I ended up be 30 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 2: doing it more Panthers versus the Rabbit. 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: I is there, what do you think there? 32 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 2: Oh? Look, Pants is coming up a great win over 33 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: the film, and the Rabbit is coming off probably their 34 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: best performance of the year so far as well. And 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: you watch Littell Mitchell and he's just involved and everything 36 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: is growing in confidence. I know that he was very 37 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: emotional after the match, but I think, you know, I 38 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: often think about when I go through different things and 39 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: when people go through things and you know, you're getting 40 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: bashed about a little bit, maybe people don't believe in 41 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: you and your and they're questioning you. You go out 42 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: and you have a great performance, and that is so 43 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: emotional just in itself. You know, I can kind of 44 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: and I don't know why he wasn't, but I can 45 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: understand if that was the reason as well. You know, 46 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: I just think when you're under such immense pressure and 47 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: you go out there and you prove people wrong and 48 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: you do a great job, I just, you know, I 49 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: just think he's going from strength to street and he's 50 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: really you know, the relationship with Walker in that team 51 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: as well, that connection since Walker has come back into 52 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: sense and it's just been phenomenal. I think the Rabbitos 53 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: will be too good for the Panthers just has been 54 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 2: very good. But I think the Bunnies might get them. 55 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: Storm worries Storm coming off a lost sou'll beat the 56 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: Warriors and easily. The poor Warriors lost their coach last week, 57 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: and I think many people saw that coming at all. 58 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: Stephen Turney wasn't even really in the calculations at the 59 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: start of year. When we're talking about coaches under pressure. 60 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: I feel so sorry for him, But that's coaching. It's brutal. 61 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: So I think the Storm will be too good. Roosters 62 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: will beat the Dragons. I suspect there won't be. Look, 63 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: I hope it's a it's a quite close Matt that 64 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: down Matts and not on Friday Night footy. But I 65 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: think the Roosters will be too strong. They're just all 66 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: classed all across the path and young Pile Funnig and 67 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: just hasn't skipped a beat and filling the boots of 68 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: Cooper Kronk and that's no mean feat. Cowboys nights going 69 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: with the night definitely, the Crowboys are in all sorts. 70 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: You know. Paul Green, a premiership winning coach. He's now 71 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 2: joining the lights of you know, the other coaches under 72 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: pressure because they just they're just not playing footy that 73 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: wins matches at the moment. Broncos Titans, this will be 74 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: a tough one to pick. I'm going to go to 75 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: Broncos just because on paper their roster is too good. 76 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 2: They've made a few changes as well. Anthony Sebold another 77 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: coach that we'd never thought we'd be saying would be 78 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: under pressure, particularly given the two and oh start that 79 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: the Broncos had this year before we went into lockdown. 80 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 2: Bronco's a beach too good for the Titans. Ill's Raiders 81 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: ill top of the table, they help playing very very 82 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: good football. Campbell will bounce back, though, I can guarantee 83 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: it with the bias aside. You know, Raiders have such 84 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: a good squad. They were so good the first week 85 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: out from losdown. George Williams has been a bit quiet. 86 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: Our new half that Ark and Hill bounced back into 87 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: form against Heels Siegle Sharks they were so brave last 88 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: week against my Raiders. They've lost even more truths, including 89 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: their superstar of injury. So Sharks, I reckon we'll get 90 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: this one. I don't think they can do it. They 91 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: did last week again, Jones. I think the Shafts will 92 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: be too strong and they're desperate that they really need 93 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: to start winning persecutive matches. Bulldogs West Tigers. Oh see, 94 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: these are probably two of my favorite coaches just in 95 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: terms of the blows. They are Dean Pey and Michael Maguire. 96 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: So this is a hard one for me to pick, 97 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: but I'm going to go with the West Tigers. I think, 98 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: you know, they've shown probably more consistent, you know, periods 99 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: of good forty, particularly that first forty last week which 100 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: was just superbos think thirty four meals they were head 101 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: at halftime. So I think the West Tigers might be 102 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: too strong for the Bulldog there. It is Huer absolute 103 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: pleasure you take care you too. Talk to you next week. 104 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: Join the and Amanda Good Morning at one point seven. 105 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: Tell you
