00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:03.200
Hello and welcome to another episode of They've Been Dood It All Day Day.
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.759
This week we actually got to rub shoulders with a plate.
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:06.959
Let's get stuck in.
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:20.800
Yes, we did, and it's the reason why we are recording a little bit later this week on a Thursday because Tuesday night our evening was taken up.
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:21.440
What were we doing?
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.199
Chinning beers and chatting to fuzz.
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.160
That's what we were doing.
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:31.440
We were wondering what we need to do or what you need to do when the girls got down to the goalposts and what was the best point of attack.
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:32.320
That's what was happening.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:32.960
Yeah, it was.
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:52.399
And and it to be fair, he was uh he he he he listened and he talked to to be fair to him, as much as uh he he didn't look like he wanted to run out of the conversation too early, but no, it was really good to to just break down in the sort of a bit of a red zone attack and um what what he what he looks for and what he's and like that was a great thing.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.520
I asked him straight away, he's like when you're in the red zone, what are you wanting to see?
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.240
What are you trying to do?
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.799
And he went straight away mismatches, numbers, just choose and I was just like, Well, yes, you you you're correct.
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.519
Um, but no, he he he listened to a little bit.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.359
JKT had a chat to us as well.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.040
What a what a polite human being.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.159
That boy loves it.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.840
Told him to rip in against the dolphins and he absolutely loved it, walked away chuckling.
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:25.519
But we're uh to explain to people listening, we're at the manly members, what are we, platinum, platinum member, platinum and diamond member um event, which there was some controversy around it to start off with.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.719
There was, there was.
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:38.000
It was meant to be a breakfast on a Friday morning with what all you can drink coffees, not necessarily and a bacon and egg roll, bit of uproar caused by the uh by the manly faithful.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:47.519
We've um put up with a bit this season, and um yeah, it got changed to a nice little Tuesday night at the Harbor Hotel upstairs.
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:48.000
What was it called?
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.959
Bummies, I think it was called free beers, um, and we took advantage.
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.200
Oh, fully, you fully took advantage.
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.120
I I I I was prepping for this.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:08.240
This this was circled in my calendar as soon as I knew it was going to be out, so I booked the day off work the next day, so I could absolutely rip in on the beers, and I I I I think I got a bit more money money back, so I can't argue with that.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.759
I didn't book the day off.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.479
Um and yeah, I won't say much about the next day, but uh it was good.
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.159
What what were your overall thoughts of of the event from um what we've experienced so far?
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:21.840
Yeah, it was it was it was good.
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.919
I think, like you said, it was a bit it was intimate.
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.520
Like there was only what you'd say about 60, 70 people there.
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:28.240
Max.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.639
Um, and like there's 30 players, so it was uh 29.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:33.520
29 players, yeah.
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:34.159
Luke Brooks was there.
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:35.039
Luke Brooks wasn't there.
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:36.319
That was a bit that was a bit devastating.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:37.599
I wanted to have a chat with him.
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.400
Um but no, it was it was it was really good.
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.560
Um I think everyone spoke really well that that decided this this was upfront and speaking.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.199
Uh well-run event, decent food, decent beer, like worth the money, I think.
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.000
Couldn't go wrong.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.879
Uh the one thing I was considering was like how do they address the elephant in the room?
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.560
Um, being the fact we're on a what five-game losing streak.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:10.560
Um I think Jason King at the start said it well, like you ride ride the ups and downs, bit of a roller coaster season, which that it has been.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.919
Um, but the players spoke well, and it was who was up on stage?
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.520
It was Ola Kawatu, Joey Walsh, Jamal Fogerty, yeah, and Ethan Bullimore.
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:22.639
Ethan Bullimore.
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.520
I missed his bit.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.960
I think I went to the bar.
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.479
It didn't sound like he said much.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.680
Oh no, I went to the toilet before they came on, but it was good.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:36.479
It was good to hear their thoughts and hear something a bit different to what you hear in the media, bit of a relaxed setting.
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.719
Um, I felt Foz was a bit on guard though.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:39.039
I don't know.
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.759
No, no, 100%.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.879
There was definitely that.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.919
Like, but but I think that's to be expected a little bit, is you you don't know what to expect from these events.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.879
I imagine his f his first one as head coach as well.
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.120
Yeah, yeah, I um I I think he may have been expecting to get hammered a bit more.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.879
Um because there were there were probably people there ready to to dive in.
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.719
Well, that geezer that was near us, yeah.
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.039
He said some flippant comment about well, we bloody deserve it or something.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:12.240
Yeah, so you get people like that at those, but whereas I I just wanted to pick his brain about attack, uh yeah, and so you get to two ends of the spectrum there, I suppose.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:20.639
Um no one's ever gonna rip in and at members of if you're you the people that were there, they're never gonna be the people that I mean.
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.279
What is he saying?
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:29.279
Jason King said something like uh 40% of platinum members have been members for longer than 10 years or something like that.
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.240
So there was a good core audience of fans.
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.800
Um, good event, good little gift that we got, a nice little wine glass.
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:37.279
Yep.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.600
Uh I I hope just next year it's on a Friday night and not a weeknight.
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.040
A bit of a guilt-free.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:56.000
Yeah, that's the thing, no, just because we we were both like, ah, I don't think I'm gonna do platinum again next year, but then as the as the beer got flowing, and then we were actually reviewing what we got with this membership, we're like, you know what?
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.120
Yeah, let's do it again.
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.560
What was the conversation, by the way, that we were having as you got on the bus on the way back?
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.480
I've been trying to wreck my brain about this.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.600
I remember it was something about um depth of ah, I'm never gonna remember.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:16.319
I thought it'd be a great discussion topic, but I'm trying to rack my brains because as you stand, as you stood on the bus, she went, let's talk about it on the pod.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.519
I was like, Yeah, that's a great idea.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:18.879
No, can't remember what it is.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.160
It's probably that last pint in Brookie Hotel that made us forget.
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.759
That was definitely it, yeah.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.360
But if you're still listening up to this point, hit that subscribe button.
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.800
Uh, we're slowly getting there, we're slowly getting towards 200.
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.199
But uh hit that like and subscribe button.
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:34.480
Um, some shocks last week.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.560
We're gonna rattle through last week's games because Thursday night, the Panthers and Roosters kick off in 30 minutes.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.360
So try and get watching the start of that.
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:48.079
Um, but the big one, big, big talking of the Panthers, the big one coming out of last week.
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.240
Panthers lose yo and they get destroyed by the Warriors as well.
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.680
Like it was a bit of a humbling.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.120
Oh, massively, massively.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.040
And and when you reflect and you sit back and you you look at it, you're like, right, what do New Zealand do really well?
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.399
Can I just point out that I took the Warrior?
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:03.759
Yeah, you did, you did.
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.759
And what do New Zealand do well?
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.480
And that's really buy into the culture and the Maori.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.240
This is a very valid point.
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:30.319
And when you sit back and you look at it at the spectacle that they created as well with the hacker beforehand, and you're like, Yeah, that this was probably always going to be on the cards because they would have had that extra boost to being at home, sold out Mount Smart Stadium, yeah, top one versus two or whatever it was, one versus three.
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:38.000
Um, had the all the hallmarks of I tell you, I know I'm skipping around words here, but Lekka Halasima was absolutely on one as well.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.279
There was question marks earlier in the year as to like, oh, why is he getting moved to centre?
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.199
And what is it, Adam Pompeii?
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:43.680
I can't remember.
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.480
It's not playing there.
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:47.439
You can see why.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.600
Like under the high ball, he's an absolute monster.
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.759
He runs through people, he runs around people.
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.000
The geezer is devastating.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.319
Like one of those breakoff runs where he ran like 50 metres and trucked a couple of people on the way.
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:06.959
Um, worrying time is over the Panthers, they've lost Yo and like the announcement of Toto being off as well to PNG.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:14.639
Do you reckon do you reckon they're still top dogs for the you can't you can't dick go away from them?
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:20.720
Like he is an integral part, yo, and he he's almost like a third half on the field.
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.279
Like the way he's ball playing, he's he's incredible.
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.360
Um look, they the Panthers have that next man up mentality.
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:38.480
Um, so I don't think you can go away, but the Warriors definitely put a a bookmark on we're not to be sort of snubbed snugged at.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.600
We we we're here to to play with the big boys and we're here to win it.
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.240
They did, and Lindsay Smith came on and he's starting tonight.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.720
Like he's not he's a good player, he's not yo, so they can't expect the same thing out of him.
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:55.519
Like, he's not gonna be able to be as creative or draw as many people in, but they've still got weapons all over the park.
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.439
The only concern is if they lose one more, if they lose another big name, then they they could be in serious trouble.
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.879
But tonight's a good test for them.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:03.680
Yep, definitely.
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:19.519
Roosters are gonna be fired up, but um but again, roosters they just limped over against the bulldogs, so it's it's that scoring 80 one week and then putting in a half-assed performance the next, and it's it's what roosters is gonna turn up, uh, all depending on on what what the what the tip's gonna be.
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.920
I've just noticed that Dylan Edwards is starting at fullback, and also have you heard that DCE is um going to go?
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.279
Yeah, which is nuts.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.319
Like, there was all the talk around him signing a one-year contract extension.
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:39.120
There's obviously conversations going on behind the scenes around um Hugo Savala probably being a bit annoyed, playing out at centre, and then coming back in.
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.480
But it surprised me that he's gone to gone to England.
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:49.840
Like, I know where he lives in North Coco, not like I sound like a stalker or anything, but I've seen him get out and walk into his house, and I've been walking down there.
00:08:50.240 --> 00:09:09.600
I don't know if I'd trade that for Hull of all places, like at least go Catalan or something, or at least I don't know, south of France is a bit more appealing than you're probably gonna get a nice little pay packet as well to retire out, and then apparently he's gonna be coming back to the roosters after in the coaching role.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.679
So that tells me that there was 100% bad blood when he when he left Manley.
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:26.720
Uh, but another thing that happened last weekend, Nico Hines steps up for his 33rd consecutive kick only to shank it, shank it and slice it.
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:32.799
Um do you reckon he even do you reckon that was the first time he thought about it because there was such hype made about it, or do you reckon it was in the back of his head?
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.240
It'll always regardless of what players say, it's always there.
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.559
You're always thinking about it, especially with how much things are highlighted.
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:47.679
And I think it just sort of epitomised the sharks' performance as well.
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.759
Like who was it who scored the first one?
00:09:50.000 --> 00:10:00.639
Um it was um, yeah, he tried to go back in on the inside to try and make it easier, but only got like two metres in and then had to ground it.
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.559
I mean, look, it's it would have been a nice record, but I think they would have much preferred a win.
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.200
A win.
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.879
This is the thing about the sharks, like you said it all year, they're up and down, up and down, up and down.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.039
They went on this amazing run, and you're like, shit, they're gonna they're gonna win the lot here.
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.120
Um, and then like they lose to the bottom club.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.320
I it's a bit inexcusable if you're on a title charge.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.960
And they've got a they've got a tough game against the Raiders as well.
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.799
Later, Raiders aren't a team that are gonna sit back and and and lie down this weekend.
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:40.320
So for them to really cement themselves as that as a top four team instead of a top six team, whereas I see them, they they they need to finish this this season, this back end of the season strong.
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.159
That the the loss might G him on.
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:45.759
Gm on and go, do you know what?
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.440
And who was I listening to the other day?
00:10:47.519 --> 00:11:03.679
I can't remember what podcast I was listening to, but they were saying how well it might have even been on the radio, on the morning radio, that um it's that sort of loss that makes you realise that errors are creeping into your game and you need that to review and go, hang on, where have we got a bit sloppy?
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.600
Where have we we strayed away from what we were doing a couple of weeks ago when we were absolutely dominating it?
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.399
But it came as a surprise that no one expected them to lose.
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:13.039
Definitely not.
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.399
Someone did tip it, and I can't remember who it was because they could just see it coming.
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.679
But out of the Warriors and Sharks, who do you reckon?
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:20.879
I'd say Warriors.
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:21.679
Warriors.
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:27.279
Um my only concern is they have they have to get a home home draw.
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.879
If they travel away, if they finish third or fourth, I think they'll then struggle to win it.
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:38.000
But if they finish in the top two, which tonight's game could have a significant bearing on.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.840
If the Panthers win it, then the that second spot is well and truly up for grabs.
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.000
Even saying that though, if the Roosters win it, they go closer to the top, and the Panthers could be there for the take-in.
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.159
So it's a really interesting one to see.
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.039
But the uh Manly Seagulls, the turmoil continues.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.399
I missed the first half of this, and by the way, the WhatsApp group was popping off.
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:07.120
I half expected to look at my phone and ask be like 30 nil down to check the phone and go, oh, we're 14-12 up at half time.
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:08.799
I was shocked, and I watched the second half.
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.399
I was like, Oh my god, this is so bad.
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.759
I think not lucky, but we yeah, it wasn't great.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.519
What was it, 28, 30?
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.679
How many unanswered points was it?
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.360
Just in fact, it might be 42.
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.279
42 unanswered points.
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:28.879
That is nuts, and like to think they had no Hughes, they had no Grant.
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:36.399
Obviously, all the other players as they got out through injury that they've had all season, it was just toilet, like it was some terrible performances.
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:47.679
Um I like it did when that we're with him on Tuesday, it was a bit like, oh fuck, like you've had an absolute stinker, and I'm about to comment on how good your tiramisu is.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:48.399
Like, you know what I mean?
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.279
Like it's that sort of thing.
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.000
Like, I'm caught calling out names, but he eats, that's all I know.
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.240
Um, but his tiramisu is decent.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.039
I do have it for breakfast every morning, the overnight tiramisu.
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.799
I think it was like 20 or like nine miss tackles, 10 miss tackles, maybe even 11.
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:22.799
There was some stupid stat that there were some stinkers out there of performances, and it just looked like there was no the biggest thing that pisses me off there's no drive to finish, like everything's just ah they've gone through.
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:28.159
Um, but yeah, disappointing loss that against the storm side that aren't that great.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.799
Uh it's just rebuild now, right?
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:31.519
In it for next year.
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.320
Yeah, it's it's you you you've got to look at right, okay.
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.440
We need to bring in another two two front rowers, I reckon.
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.200
Um the back line, I'm not too worried about.
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.799
Uh Falala, full back, bring Turbo down into the centres.
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.320
You then got Kolo, the other centre, Hoppawatu, one wing.
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.720
Uh it's then a toss-up between for me, Blake Wilson and Saab.
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.720
I don't think there's much there's there's gonna there's gonna be a fight for that for that.
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.840
Saab should be the best.
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:58.639
Do you know what?
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:04.000
I want to throw another name in the centre mix if Turbo has to stay like Felady ain't weren't.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.759
He's a mongrel, yeah.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.679
He's he's running, he runs hard, like he hit he runs the ball hard just defensively.
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:14.159
He had a good game a couple of weeks ago, but you could even put push him inside and put him into the second row.
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.759
Like, I don't think that would be the worst worst of the decisions.
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:18.559
Young Warriors.
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.480
But yeah, we've got the young Warriors.
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.240
Uh so the back line isn't something to worry about.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.600
I think we're gonna be okay there.
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.960
It's our forward pack that that's gonna be the slight issue.
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:37.519
And even like David Moale, who's coming from the rabbit hose via the storm, like he's been involved in a team that's had an absolute stink this year, and he hasn't even got many game minutes.
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.799
Well, he has, but not like a significant amount that you'd thought.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:45.679
Like, you maybe you hope that once he gets under Fozz, Foz might stick a rocket up him.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.519
But it is a concern for next year.
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:56.879
We were trying to figure out if Taki Aho had another year in him, but I think he's done, his contract's done, and the way he's going with his concrete in business, I'm not sure.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:01.519
And I didn't even recognise him on Tuesday night, how much weight he'd lost.
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.679
I don't know whether you noticed it, like you can tell he's just been not working out.
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:12.879
So I don't know to get yourself then back into shape if you want to sign a contract extension, then yeah, it doesn't look good.
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.039
But I am concerned about our forward pack next year.
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.039
You hope like there's some things maybe around the hooker space as well.
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:23.120
Well, you you've got you've you've got a second hour out for the rest of the season, yeah.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.919
Um you've got Navali coming back, which will be good to see him.
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.600
I think he does need to get blooded just at the back end of the season, get some minutes into his legs.
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.000
He's playing the New South Wales Cup this week.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.600
Um and you've then you've then working off.
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:44.720
We're losing Nathan Brown, um, who is just a does a job, it does it does a job with a body, and it's just it's it's just a little worrying.
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:45.679
It is.
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.440
Um but we'll see what happens in the in the the transform market.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.639
So this game tomorrow night at Brookie, it ends 50-40 manly.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.200
Yeah, you gotta have some optimism.
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:05.120
Although when I make my tip later on, yeah, I don't think I will be having optimism, but um, yeah, full rebuild mode.
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.240
Um any other big stories that came out of last week?
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.559
Bulldogs lost no PNG just uh buying the league.
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:17.600
Sorry, one thing I was gonna say because I reminded because I looked at the NRL logo on this our indigenous jersey looks pretty sweet.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:29.679
Yeah, it's like it looks class, and to hear Jamal Fogerty speak about how he was contacted prior to joining that was really good actually for it to be designed, and then who was it on the back?
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.120
I can't remember who like the two totems that were that were put on.
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.320
It looks like a pretty Swiss show.
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.879
And they wanted they wanted to save it for the home game as well, so it's played in in the area that it's representing.
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.120
So yeah, that was quite a cool, cool little segment.
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.480
What was he saying?
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.200
There's his totem and then three birds on it that represented.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.200
Which he's got tattooed.
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.559
What did he say that as well?
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:50.960
I don't know.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.399
So it's all a bit hazy.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.440
Yeah, a few too many boulters were flying around.
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.799
So um, but yeah, not many other stories from last week.
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.519
Everything else pretty much went as it was meant to, I think.
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.359
My tipping got let down by Manly, the sharks.
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.640
And I'm trying to think if there's anyone else I didn't tip.
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:10.720
Anyway, tips are out the window this week.
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.359
But let's get stuck into this week's round.
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.240
What are we on now?
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.240
Round 24.
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:27.279
Round 24, and we're kicking off in 20 minutes with the Penrith Panthers at$1.48 against the Sydney Roosters,$2.67.
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.839
What a tasty fixture this could be.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:31.279
I'm gonna go for the Panthers.
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.000
Bounce back Panthers, um, gonna get gonna get the win.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:44.480
So I've tipped the Panthers, and I don't think I'm gonna have time to change it, but I actually think the Roosters might win this.
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.039
And the reason why is because I texted you this last week.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:53.440
It wouldn't surprise me if the Panthers go back to back losses and then end up winning the whole competition.
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:54.960
So I'm gonna go for the Roosters.
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.319
Well, I was reading the start as well.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.839
Cody Ramsey's lost every game again that he's played against the Panthers, so that's obviously gonna get one of those that's there to be broken.
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.359
The records are there to be broken.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.960
I hear that one, I hear that one.
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.839
Uh, and then we're at Fospines Park tomorrow for the first kickoff on the on the Friday, six o'clock kickoff.
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.720
Uh, we've got the Manley Sea Eagles at$3.25 against the Dolphins at$1.35.
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.039
I'm worried about this one.
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:23.039
Um but the Dolphins are unpredictable, right?
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:28.640
Like they will stick 60 on a team, then they'll have a stinker the next week.
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.920
And then get 60 put on them.
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.519
Then they get 60 put on them, then they'll be 24-nil down.
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:33.920
Yeah.
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:38.640
And then did the Broncos fall apart or did the Dolphins turn it up?
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:43.279
It all depends what Dolphin side turns up, but in fact, I'm gonna take that back.
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.319
It doesn't matter which Dolphin side turns up.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:50.240
I actually think they win this game, whatever, because of just how sloppy we are.
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.319
Um, so I'm going for the Dolphins.
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.079
Um, I don't think the Dolphins have won it for Pines Park.
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.799
Last three times we played though, we stuck 50 on them.
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.160
Uh, and I think we're gonna do it again.
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.160
Come on, the Manley boys, we're gonna take Manley.
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.079
Yeah, that's not gonna go down well.
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.160
Turn the oof meter all the way up.
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:15.920
You've got to bat the boys, gotta bat the boys, and then Friday night, Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs$1 57, South Sydney, Rabbit O's,$2.41.
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.759
This is now a good game, especially with the run the Bulldogs have been sort of putting together.
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.559
I know they lost by two points against the the Roosters.
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.039
Um, but they They're better.
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.079
They're they're better.
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:31.680
Um Kryan looks alright at six, Burton's playing well at centre, and Lockie Galvin's playing alright.
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.880
They look they it's a good little combination going there.
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:39.279
Um I'm gonna I'm gonna back the I'm gonna back the dogs.
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.279
Yeah, I'm gonna back the dogs as well.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:49.839
Randomly changing subject quickly, you see the news again has started about Jacob Preston potentially to Manley.
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.839
Where would he where would he fit in though?
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.960
Like play wherever he wants.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.079
Plays wherever he wants, but that that'd be 2027.
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:57.200
Yeah.
00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.039
End of next season.
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.119
But that'd be that'd be a good sign in anyway.
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:01.680
It would be.
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:06.480
And then we're in the first kickoff on the Saturday, three o'clock kickoff at the Ocean Protect Stadium.
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:12.559
Um, we've got the Sharks at a dollar thirty-one against the Raiders at$3.50.
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.000
Sharks are good at home.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.480
Yep.
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:15.839
I can't see the Raiders.
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.039
Raiders were ah, there's that's one thing we could have spoken about.
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:27.839
Actually, Corey Horsbrough slapping and Ricky Stewart absolutely losing his uh losing his head about that costing the game when it wasn't that it was many other things that cost him the game.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.160
But uh back onto this one sharks, sharks get the revenge.
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.880
Yeah, I think it's gonna be a tight game, but sharks get it, just just limp over at the end.
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:43.920
Then Saturday, 5 30, Paramatic Eels,$2.46 against the North North Queensland Cowboys,$1.55.
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.279
Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys.
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.680
I don't know, you know, like eels just pop up with one every now and then.
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:57.440
Cowboys have been been on a bit of form though, so yeah, I'm gonna go with the North Queensland Cowboys.
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:02.400
And then to end Super Saturday, great little fixture at the Song Corp Stadium.
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:08.160
We've got the Broncos at$2.87 against the Waz at$1.42.
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:16.400
Smart Money says Warriors are gonna absolutely batter them, but there's something in me that goes, Do you know what?
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:21.279
There's a lot of Warriors fans in Brisbane, they always turn up, they always travel well.
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:30.319
There's so many Waz fans that turn up um whenever they're playing, and I think it will hype the Broncos team up to do well.
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:35.599
Um saw a stat though that Catoni Staggs over the last six weeks or something like that has been the worst player in the league.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.920
Um but I'm gonna go for the Warriors, yeah.
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.200
I'm gonna go to the Warriors as well.
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:39.920
No, I've got to go.
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.640
That was just a lovely little spill, but uh no, Warriors.
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.599
I hyped it up like I was gonna pick the Broncos and it was never gonna.
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:55.759
Um then Sunday, McDonnell Jones Stadium, Newcastle Knights, who are humming a dollar twenty four against the Gold Coast Titans, four dollars ten.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:57.359
And Dylan Kus who?
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:07.519
Like they're Yeah, uh the we we we had this conversation about when they lost um Walker and uh Boat Lucas, who's like, Oh, how are they gonna kick on?
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:08.880
And I was like, Do you know what?
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:16.240
I I depending on how they play, I will depend on obviously where they finish, and they are looking they're still humming, they're still looking good.
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:23.359
They've got so much power, they've got so much size, they just need to get the ball out there, and Calen Pong is just dancing about all over the place.
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.000
Yeah.
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.240
Um, and I'm gonna go for the nights.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:27.599
Fair enough.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:30.079
Who are you going for?
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.559
Did I not say in my head?
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.440
I thought I'd said uh nights, I'm gonna go for the knights as well.
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:36.000
There we go.
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:40.559
And then we finish on another classic to finish the Sunday.
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:42.720
Mods have got tighter since I've last looked at this.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:44.960
Five past four at the Combank Stadium.
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:53.839
We've got the Tigers at a dollar ninety-three against the Dragons, which I think this could be for only one of the few times this season they are favourites at a dollar ninety-one.
00:22:54.240 --> 00:23:09.119
When I looked at this earlier, the dragons were not favourites, the Tigers were oh I reckon the turmoil at the Tigers Dragons.
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:12.960
I'm gonna tick the dragons to get this done at Oh, it's at the Combank.
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.240
It is at the Combank.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.079
Interesting, interesting one.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:16.960
Who are you going with?
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.319
I'm gonna go for the Dragons.
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.880
I'm gonna I'm gonna write I'm gonna hop on their Dragons bandwagon and they're gonna finish the season straight.
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:31.440
You know, I put up um a post on our social media account, one of our Instagram, I think it was, after one of the Manly games, saying Manly aren't gonna win a game for the rest of the season.
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.680
This was four games ago, maybe three games ago.
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:34.079
Yeah.
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.160
So we've got the Dolphins, which I don't think we're gonna win.
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:43.039
We've got the Knights in Newcastle, yeah, which I don't think we're gonna win.
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.440
Then we've got the Dragons at home.
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:51.599
I'm we played the Warriors last game of the season in Auckland, so it all depends on whether they're wrestling players or not.
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.279
But then we've got the dragons at home.
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:55.519
Are we gonna see a victory?
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.880
Who knows?
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.440
Who knows?
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:59.759
What else is what other sports kicking off?
00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:01.519
A bit of cricket on today, weren't there?
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:02.000
Yeah.
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.559
Summer cricket is back here in Aussie in Australia.
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.559
That's the weird thing.
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.519
It's the it's the the Darwin summer, the the Darwin series or whatever it is, so it's it's quite warm up there.
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:12.960
And they got skilled for 198.
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:18.079
So they did against Bangladesh, who who I was listening, I was watching it on the way over, and Kerry O'Keefe was making a very good point.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:25.039
Like if Bangladesh cut out the stupid mistakes or started reducing the mistakes, it'd be a very good test team.
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.079
Um, their bowling attack looks like pretty decent.
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:28.960
It's just they're batting.
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.920
They just did you what I can't remember his name.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.720
Uh, I think he he's uh Goof or Hoof Hoof, I can't remember.
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:43.759
He it was the Kerry Okef was like he's he's averaging like 35, where he should be he should be averaging 45 just because of the stupid mistakes he makes.
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:51.759
So um, yeah, it'd be it's a good little Australia got the old dream line up, in there they've got in the bowling, they've got Lion Cummings, Hazelwood, and Stark.
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.440
Like I was watching Hazelwood bowl, just line and length, it was absolutely brilliant.
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.400
Can't go on forever, though.
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:04.079
He can't, and they're currently getting to like this is the thing Bangladesh will end up scoring like 300 and some in.
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:12.000
Australia will come out in the second inning, score 450, 500 in about 20 over, and then just skittle Bangladesh for like 60.
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:14.160
And it's like, oh, here we go again.
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:16.160
Anything else to discuss?
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.880
I think that's it.
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:17.680
I think that's everything.
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:19.039
Yeah, there we go.
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:19.680
There we go.
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:21.680
Well, thanks for tuning in to this week's episode.

Hit that subscribe button if you've lasted this long, and we'll catch you in the next one.
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.359
Manly 13 Plus.
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:03.200
Hello and welcome to another episode of They've Been Dood It All Day Day.
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.759
This week we actually got to rub shoulders with a plate.
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:06.959
Let's get stuck in.
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:20.800
Yes, we did, and it's the reason why we are recording a little bit later this week on a Thursday because Tuesday night our evening was taken up.
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:21.440
What were we doing?
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.199
Chinning beers and chatting to fuzz.
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.160
That's what we were doing.
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:31.440
We were wondering what we need to do or what you need to do when the girls got down to the goalposts and what was the best point of attack.
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:32.320
That's what was happening.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:32.960
Yeah, it was.
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:52.399
And and it to be fair, he was uh he he he he listened and he talked to to be fair to him, as much as uh he he didn't look like he wanted to run out of the conversation too early, but no, it was really good to to just break down in the sort of a bit of a red zone attack and um what what he what he looks for and what he's and like that was a great thing.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.520
I asked him straight away, he's like when you're in the red zone, what are you wanting to see?
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.240
What are you trying to do?
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.799
And he went straight away mismatches, numbers, just choose and I was just like, Well, yes, you you you're correct.
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.519
Um, but no, he he he listened to a little bit.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.359
JKT had a chat to us as well.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.040
What a what a polite human being.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.159
That boy loves it.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.840
Told him to rip in against the dolphins and he absolutely loved it, walked away chuckling.
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:25.519
But we're uh to explain to people listening, we're at the manly members, what are we, platinum, platinum member, platinum and diamond member um event, which there was some controversy around it to start off with.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.719
There was, there was.
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:38.000
It was meant to be a breakfast on a Friday morning with what all you can drink coffees, not necessarily and a bacon and egg roll, bit of uproar caused by the uh by the manly faithful.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:47.519
We've um put up with a bit this season, and um yeah, it got changed to a nice little Tuesday night at the Harbor Hotel upstairs.
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:48.000
What was it called?
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.959
Bummies, I think it was called free beers, um, and we took advantage.
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.200
Oh, fully, you fully took advantage.
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.120
I I I I was prepping for this.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:08.240
This this was circled in my calendar as soon as I knew it was going to be out, so I booked the day off work the next day, so I could absolutely rip in on the beers, and I I I I think I got a bit more money money back, so I can't argue with that.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.759
I didn't book the day off.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.479
Um and yeah, I won't say much about the next day, but uh it was good.
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.159
What what were your overall thoughts of of the event from um what we've experienced so far?
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:21.840
Yeah, it was it was it was good.
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.919
I think, like you said, it was a bit it was intimate.
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.520
Like there was only what you'd say about 60, 70 people there.
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:28.240
Max.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.639
Um, and like there's 30 players, so it was uh 29.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:33.520
29 players, yeah.
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:34.159
Luke Brooks was there.
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:35.039
Luke Brooks wasn't there.
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:36.319
That was a bit that was a bit devastating.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:37.599
I wanted to have a chat with him.
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.400
Um but no, it was it was it was really good.
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.560
Um I think everyone spoke really well that that decided this this was upfront and speaking.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.199
Uh well-run event, decent food, decent beer, like worth the money, I think.
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.000
Couldn't go wrong.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.879
Uh the one thing I was considering was like how do they address the elephant in the room?
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.560
Um, being the fact we're on a what five-game losing streak.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:10.560
Um I think Jason King at the start said it well, like you ride ride the ups and downs, bit of a roller coaster season, which that it has been.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.919
Um, but the players spoke well, and it was who was up on stage?
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.520
It was Ola Kawatu, Joey Walsh, Jamal Fogerty, yeah, and Ethan Bullimore.
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:22.639
Ethan Bullimore.
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.520
I missed his bit.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.960
I think I went to the bar.
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.479
It didn't sound like he said much.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.680
Oh no, I went to the toilet before they came on, but it was good.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:36.479
It was good to hear their thoughts and hear something a bit different to what you hear in the media, bit of a relaxed setting.
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.719
Um, I felt Foz was a bit on guard though.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:39.039
I don't know.
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.759
No, no, 100%.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.879
There was definitely that.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.919
Like, but but I think that's to be expected a little bit, is you you don't know what to expect from these events.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.879
I imagine his f his first one as head coach as well.
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.120
Yeah, yeah, I um I I think he may have been expecting to get hammered a bit more.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.879
Um because there were there were probably people there ready to to dive in.
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.719
Well, that geezer that was near us, yeah.
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.039
He said some flippant comment about well, we bloody deserve it or something.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:12.240
Yeah, so you get people like that at those, but whereas I I just wanted to pick his brain about attack, uh yeah, and so you get to two ends of the spectrum there, I suppose.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:20.639
Um no one's ever gonna rip in and at members of if you're you the people that were there, they're never gonna be the people that I mean.
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.279
What is he saying?
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:29.279
Jason King said something like uh 40% of platinum members have been members for longer than 10 years or something like that.
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.240
So there was a good core audience of fans.
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.800
Um, good event, good little gift that we got, a nice little wine glass.
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:37.279
Yep.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.600
Uh I I hope just next year it's on a Friday night and not a weeknight.
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.040
A bit of a guilt-free.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:56.000
Yeah, that's the thing, no, just because we we were both like, ah, I don't think I'm gonna do platinum again next year, but then as the as the beer got flowing, and then we were actually reviewing what we got with this membership, we're like, you know what?
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.120
Yeah, let's do it again.
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.560
What was the conversation, by the way, that we were having as you got on the bus on the way back?
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.480
I've been trying to wreck my brain about this.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.600
I remember it was something about um depth of ah, I'm never gonna remember.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:16.319
I thought it'd be a great discussion topic, but I'm trying to rack my brains because as you stand, as you stood on the bus, she went, let's talk about it on the pod.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.519
I was like, Yeah, that's a great idea.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:18.879
No, can't remember what it is.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.160
It's probably that last pint in Brookie Hotel that made us forget.
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.759
That was definitely it, yeah.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.360
But if you're still listening up to this point, hit that subscribe button.
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.800
Uh, we're slowly getting there, we're slowly getting towards 200.
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.199
But uh hit that like and subscribe button.
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:34.480
Um, some shocks last week.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.560
We're gonna rattle through last week's games because Thursday night, the Panthers and Roosters kick off in 30 minutes.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.360
So try and get watching the start of that.
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:48.079
Um, but the big one, big, big talking of the Panthers, the big one coming out of last week.
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.240
Panthers lose yo and they get destroyed by the Warriors as well.
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.680
Like it was a bit of a humbling.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.120
Oh, massively, massively.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.040
And and when you reflect and you sit back and you you look at it, you're like, right, what do New Zealand do really well?
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.399
Can I just point out that I took the Warrior?
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:03.759
Yeah, you did, you did.
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.759
And what do New Zealand do well?
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.480
And that's really buy into the culture and the Maori.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.240
This is a very valid point.
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:30.319
And when you sit back and you look at it at the spectacle that they created as well with the hacker beforehand, and you're like, Yeah, that this was probably always going to be on the cards because they would have had that extra boost to being at home, sold out Mount Smart Stadium, yeah, top one versus two or whatever it was, one versus three.
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:38.000
Um, had the all the hallmarks of I tell you, I know I'm skipping around words here, but Lekka Halasima was absolutely on one as well.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.279
There was question marks earlier in the year as to like, oh, why is he getting moved to centre?
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.199
And what is it, Adam Pompeii?
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:43.680
I can't remember.
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.480
It's not playing there.
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:47.439
You can see why.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.600
Like under the high ball, he's an absolute monster.
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.759
He runs through people, he runs around people.
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.000
The geezer is devastating.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.319
Like one of those breakoff runs where he ran like 50 metres and trucked a couple of people on the way.
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:06.959
Um, worrying time is over the Panthers, they've lost Yo and like the announcement of Toto being off as well to PNG.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:14.639
Do you reckon do you reckon they're still top dogs for the you can't you can't dick go away from them?
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:20.720
Like he is an integral part, yo, and he he's almost like a third half on the field.
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.279
Like the way he's ball playing, he's he's incredible.
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.360
Um look, they the Panthers have that next man up mentality.
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:38.480
Um, so I don't think you can go away, but the Warriors definitely put a a bookmark on we're not to be sort of snubbed snugged at.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.600
We we we're here to to play with the big boys and we're here to win it.
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.240
They did, and Lindsay Smith came on and he's starting tonight.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.720
Like he's not he's a good player, he's not yo, so they can't expect the same thing out of him.
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:55.519
Like, he's not gonna be able to be as creative or draw as many people in, but they've still got weapons all over the park.
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.439
The only concern is if they lose one more, if they lose another big name, then they they could be in serious trouble.
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.879
But tonight's a good test for them.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:03.680
Yep, definitely.
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:19.519
Roosters are gonna be fired up, but um but again, roosters they just limped over against the bulldogs, so it's it's that scoring 80 one week and then putting in a half-assed performance the next, and it's it's what roosters is gonna turn up, uh, all depending on on what what the what the tip's gonna be.
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.920
I've just noticed that Dylan Edwards is starting at fullback, and also have you heard that DCE is um going to go?
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.279
Yeah, which is nuts.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.319
Like, there was all the talk around him signing a one-year contract extension.
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:39.120
There's obviously conversations going on behind the scenes around um Hugo Savala probably being a bit annoyed, playing out at centre, and then coming back in.
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.480
But it surprised me that he's gone to gone to England.
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:49.840
Like, I know where he lives in North Coco, not like I sound like a stalker or anything, but I've seen him get out and walk into his house, and I've been walking down there.
00:08:50.240 --> 00:09:09.600
I don't know if I'd trade that for Hull of all places, like at least go Catalan or something, or at least I don't know, south of France is a bit more appealing than you're probably gonna get a nice little pay packet as well to retire out, and then apparently he's gonna be coming back to the roosters after in the coaching role.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.679
So that tells me that there was 100% bad blood when he when he left Manley.
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:26.720
Uh, but another thing that happened last weekend, Nico Hines steps up for his 33rd consecutive kick only to shank it, shank it and slice it.
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:32.799
Um do you reckon he even do you reckon that was the first time he thought about it because there was such hype made about it, or do you reckon it was in the back of his head?
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.240
It'll always regardless of what players say, it's always there.
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.559
You're always thinking about it, especially with how much things are highlighted.
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:47.679
And I think it just sort of epitomised the sharks' performance as well.
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.759
Like who was it who scored the first one?
00:09:50.000 --> 00:10:00.639
Um it was um, yeah, he tried to go back in on the inside to try and make it easier, but only got like two metres in and then had to ground it.
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.559
I mean, look, it's it would have been a nice record, but I think they would have much preferred a win.
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.200
A win.
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.879
This is the thing about the sharks, like you said it all year, they're up and down, up and down, up and down.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.039
They went on this amazing run, and you're like, shit, they're gonna they're gonna win the lot here.
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.120
Um, and then like they lose to the bottom club.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.320
I it's a bit inexcusable if you're on a title charge.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.960
And they've got a they've got a tough game against the Raiders as well.
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.799
Later, Raiders aren't a team that are gonna sit back and and and lie down this weekend.
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:40.320
So for them to really cement themselves as that as a top four team instead of a top six team, whereas I see them, they they they need to finish this this season, this back end of the season strong.
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.159
That the the loss might G him on.
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:45.759
Gm on and go, do you know what?
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.440
And who was I listening to the other day?
00:10:47.519 --> 00:11:03.679
I can't remember what podcast I was listening to, but they were saying how well it might have even been on the radio, on the morning radio, that um it's that sort of loss that makes you realise that errors are creeping into your game and you need that to review and go, hang on, where have we got a bit sloppy?
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.600
Where have we we strayed away from what we were doing a couple of weeks ago when we were absolutely dominating it?
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.399
But it came as a surprise that no one expected them to lose.
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:13.039
Definitely not.
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.399
Someone did tip it, and I can't remember who it was because they could just see it coming.
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.679
But out of the Warriors and Sharks, who do you reckon?
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:20.879
I'd say Warriors.
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:21.679
Warriors.
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:27.279
Um my only concern is they have they have to get a home home draw.
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.879
If they travel away, if they finish third or fourth, I think they'll then struggle to win it.
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:38.000
But if they finish in the top two, which tonight's game could have a significant bearing on.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.840
If the Panthers win it, then the that second spot is well and truly up for grabs.
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.000
Even saying that though, if the Roosters win it, they go closer to the top, and the Panthers could be there for the take-in.
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.159
So it's a really interesting one to see.
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.039
But the uh Manly Seagulls, the turmoil continues.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.399
I missed the first half of this, and by the way, the WhatsApp group was popping off.
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:07.120
I half expected to look at my phone and ask be like 30 nil down to check the phone and go, oh, we're 14-12 up at half time.
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:08.799
I was shocked, and I watched the second half.
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.399
I was like, Oh my god, this is so bad.
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.759
I think not lucky, but we yeah, it wasn't great.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.519
What was it, 28, 30?
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.679
How many unanswered points was it?
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.360
Just in fact, it might be 42.
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.279
42 unanswered points.
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:28.879
That is nuts, and like to think they had no Hughes, they had no Grant.
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:36.399
Obviously, all the other players as they got out through injury that they've had all season, it was just toilet, like it was some terrible performances.
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:47.679
Um I like it did when that we're with him on Tuesday, it was a bit like, oh fuck, like you've had an absolute stinker, and I'm about to comment on how good your tiramisu is.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:48.399
Like, you know what I mean?
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.279
Like it's that sort of thing.
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.000
Like, I'm caught calling out names, but he eats, that's all I know.
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.240
Um, but his tiramisu is decent.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.039
I do have it for breakfast every morning, the overnight tiramisu.
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.799
I think it was like 20 or like nine miss tackles, 10 miss tackles, maybe even 11.
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:22.799
There was some stupid stat that there were some stinkers out there of performances, and it just looked like there was no the biggest thing that pisses me off there's no drive to finish, like everything's just ah they've gone through.
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:28.159
Um, but yeah, disappointing loss that against the storm side that aren't that great.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.799
Uh it's just rebuild now, right?
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:31.519
In it for next year.
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.320
Yeah, it's it's you you you've got to look at right, okay.
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.440
We need to bring in another two two front rowers, I reckon.
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.200
Um the back line, I'm not too worried about.
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.799
Uh Falala, full back, bring Turbo down into the centres.
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.320
You then got Kolo, the other centre, Hoppawatu, one wing.
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.720
Uh it's then a toss-up between for me, Blake Wilson and Saab.
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.720
I don't think there's much there's there's gonna there's gonna be a fight for that for that.
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.840
Saab should be the best.
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:58.639
Do you know what?
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:04.000
I want to throw another name in the centre mix if Turbo has to stay like Felady ain't weren't.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.759
He's a mongrel, yeah.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.679
He's he's running, he runs hard, like he hit he runs the ball hard just defensively.
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:14.159
He had a good game a couple of weeks ago, but you could even put push him inside and put him into the second row.
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.759
Like, I don't think that would be the worst worst of the decisions.
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:18.559
Young Warriors.
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.480
But yeah, we've got the young Warriors.
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.240
Uh so the back line isn't something to worry about.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.600
I think we're gonna be okay there.
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.960
It's our forward pack that that's gonna be the slight issue.
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:37.519
And even like David Moale, who's coming from the rabbit hose via the storm, like he's been involved in a team that's had an absolute stink this year, and he hasn't even got many game minutes.
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.799
Well, he has, but not like a significant amount that you'd thought.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:45.679
Like, you maybe you hope that once he gets under Fozz, Foz might stick a rocket up him.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.519
But it is a concern for next year.
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:56.879
We were trying to figure out if Taki Aho had another year in him, but I think he's done, his contract's done, and the way he's going with his concrete in business, I'm not sure.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:01.519
And I didn't even recognise him on Tuesday night, how much weight he'd lost.
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.679
I don't know whether you noticed it, like you can tell he's just been not working out.
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:12.879
So I don't know to get yourself then back into shape if you want to sign a contract extension, then yeah, it doesn't look good.
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.039
But I am concerned about our forward pack next year.
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.039
You hope like there's some things maybe around the hooker space as well.
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:23.120
Well, you you've got you've you've got a second hour out for the rest of the season, yeah.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.919
Um you've got Navali coming back, which will be good to see him.
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.600
I think he does need to get blooded just at the back end of the season, get some minutes into his legs.
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.000
He's playing the New South Wales Cup this week.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.600
Um and you've then you've then working off.
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:44.720
We're losing Nathan Brown, um, who is just a does a job, it does it does a job with a body, and it's just it's it's just a little worrying.
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:45.679
It is.
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.440
Um but we'll see what happens in the in the the transform market.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.639
So this game tomorrow night at Brookie, it ends 50-40 manly.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.200
Yeah, you gotta have some optimism.
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:05.120
Although when I make my tip later on, yeah, I don't think I will be having optimism, but um, yeah, full rebuild mode.
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.240
Um any other big stories that came out of last week?
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.559
Bulldogs lost no PNG just uh buying the league.
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:17.600
Sorry, one thing I was gonna say because I reminded because I looked at the NRL logo on this our indigenous jersey looks pretty sweet.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:29.679
Yeah, it's like it looks class, and to hear Jamal Fogerty speak about how he was contacted prior to joining that was really good actually for it to be designed, and then who was it on the back?
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.120
I can't remember who like the two totems that were that were put on.
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.320
It looks like a pretty Swiss show.
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.879
And they wanted they wanted to save it for the home game as well, so it's played in in the area that it's representing.
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.120
So yeah, that was quite a cool, cool little segment.
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.480
What was he saying?
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.200
There's his totem and then three birds on it that represented.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.200
Which he's got tattooed.
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.559
What did he say that as well?
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:50.960
I don't know.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.399
So it's all a bit hazy.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.440
Yeah, a few too many boulters were flying around.
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.799
So um, but yeah, not many other stories from last week.
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.519
Everything else pretty much went as it was meant to, I think.
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.359
My tipping got let down by Manly, the sharks.
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.640
And I'm trying to think if there's anyone else I didn't tip.
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:10.720
Anyway, tips are out the window this week.
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.359
But let's get stuck into this week's round.
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.240
What are we on now?
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.240
Round 24.
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:27.279
Round 24, and we're kicking off in 20 minutes with the Penrith Panthers at$1.48 against the Sydney Roosters,$2.67.
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.839
What a tasty fixture this could be.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:31.279
I'm gonna go for the Panthers.
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.000
Bounce back Panthers, um, gonna get gonna get the win.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:44.480
So I've tipped the Panthers, and I don't think I'm gonna have time to change it, but I actually think the Roosters might win this.
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.039
And the reason why is because I texted you this last week.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:53.440
It wouldn't surprise me if the Panthers go back to back losses and then end up winning the whole competition.
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:54.960
So I'm gonna go for the Roosters.
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.319
Well, I was reading the start as well.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.839
Cody Ramsey's lost every game again that he's played against the Panthers, so that's obviously gonna get one of those that's there to be broken.
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.359
The records are there to be broken.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.960
I hear that one, I hear that one.
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.839
Uh, and then we're at Fospines Park tomorrow for the first kickoff on the on the Friday, six o'clock kickoff.
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.720
Uh, we've got the Manley Sea Eagles at$3.25 against the Dolphins at$1.35.
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.039
I'm worried about this one.
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:23.039
Um but the Dolphins are unpredictable, right?
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:28.640
Like they will stick 60 on a team, then they'll have a stinker the next week.
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.920
And then get 60 put on them.
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.519
Then they get 60 put on them, then they'll be 24-nil down.
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:33.920
Yeah.
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:38.640
And then did the Broncos fall apart or did the Dolphins turn it up?
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:43.279
It all depends what Dolphin side turns up, but in fact, I'm gonna take that back.
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.319
It doesn't matter which Dolphin side turns up.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:50.240
I actually think they win this game, whatever, because of just how sloppy we are.
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.319
Um, so I'm going for the Dolphins.
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.079
Um, I don't think the Dolphins have won it for Pines Park.
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.799
Last three times we played though, we stuck 50 on them.
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:00.160
Uh, and I think we're gonna do it again.
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.160
Come on, the Manley boys, we're gonna take Manley.
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.079
Yeah, that's not gonna go down well.
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.160
Turn the oof meter all the way up.
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:15.920
You've got to bat the boys, gotta bat the boys, and then Friday night, Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs$1 57, South Sydney, Rabbit O's,$2.41.
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.759
This is now a good game, especially with the run the Bulldogs have been sort of putting together.
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.559
I know they lost by two points against the the Roosters.
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.039
Um, but they They're better.
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.079
They're they're better.
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:31.680
Um Kryan looks alright at six, Burton's playing well at centre, and Lockie Galvin's playing alright.
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.880
They look they it's a good little combination going there.
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:39.279
Um I'm gonna I'm gonna back the I'm gonna back the dogs.
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.279
Yeah, I'm gonna back the dogs as well.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:49.839
Randomly changing subject quickly, you see the news again has started about Jacob Preston potentially to Manley.
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.839
Where would he where would he fit in though?
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.960
Like play wherever he wants.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.079
Plays wherever he wants, but that that'd be 2027.
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:57.200
Yeah.
00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.039
End of next season.
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.119
But that'd be that'd be a good sign in anyway.
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:01.680
It would be.
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:06.480
And then we're in the first kickoff on the Saturday, three o'clock kickoff at the Ocean Protect Stadium.
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:12.559
Um, we've got the Sharks at a dollar thirty-one against the Raiders at$3.50.
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.000
Sharks are good at home.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.480
Yep.
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:15.839
I can't see the Raiders.
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.039
Raiders were ah, there's that's one thing we could have spoken about.
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:27.839
Actually, Corey Horsbrough slapping and Ricky Stewart absolutely losing his uh losing his head about that costing the game when it wasn't that it was many other things that cost him the game.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.160
But uh back onto this one sharks, sharks get the revenge.
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.880
Yeah, I think it's gonna be a tight game, but sharks get it, just just limp over at the end.
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:43.920
Then Saturday, 5 30, Paramatic Eels,$2.46 against the North North Queensland Cowboys,$1.55.
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.279
Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys.
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.680
I don't know, you know, like eels just pop up with one every now and then.
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:57.440
Cowboys have been been on a bit of form though, so yeah, I'm gonna go with the North Queensland Cowboys.
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:02.400
And then to end Super Saturday, great little fixture at the Song Corp Stadium.
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:08.160
We've got the Broncos at$2.87 against the Waz at$1.42.
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:16.400
Smart Money says Warriors are gonna absolutely batter them, but there's something in me that goes, Do you know what?
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:21.279
There's a lot of Warriors fans in Brisbane, they always turn up, they always travel well.
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:30.319
There's so many Waz fans that turn up um whenever they're playing, and I think it will hype the Broncos team up to do well.
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:35.599
Um saw a stat though that Catoni Staggs over the last six weeks or something like that has been the worst player in the league.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.920
Um but I'm gonna go for the Warriors, yeah.
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.200
I'm gonna go to the Warriors as well.
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:39.920
No, I've got to go.
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.640
That was just a lovely little spill, but uh no, Warriors.
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.599
I hyped it up like I was gonna pick the Broncos and it was never gonna.
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:55.759
Um then Sunday, McDonnell Jones Stadium, Newcastle Knights, who are humming a dollar twenty four against the Gold Coast Titans, four dollars ten.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:57.359
And Dylan Kus who?
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:07.519
Like they're Yeah, uh the we we we had this conversation about when they lost um Walker and uh Boat Lucas, who's like, Oh, how are they gonna kick on?
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:08.880
And I was like, Do you know what?
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:16.240
I I depending on how they play, I will depend on obviously where they finish, and they are looking they're still humming, they're still looking good.
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:23.359
They've got so much power, they've got so much size, they just need to get the ball out there, and Calen Pong is just dancing about all over the place.
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.000
Yeah.
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.240
Um, and I'm gonna go for the nights.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:27.599
Fair enough.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:30.079
Who are you going for?
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.559
Did I not say in my head?
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.440
I thought I'd said uh nights, I'm gonna go for the knights as well.
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:36.000
There we go.
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:40.559
And then we finish on another classic to finish the Sunday.
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:42.720
Mods have got tighter since I've last looked at this.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:44.960
Five past four at the Combank Stadium.
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:53.839
We've got the Tigers at a dollar ninety-three against the Dragons, which I think this could be for only one of the few times this season they are favourites at a dollar ninety-one.
00:22:54.240 --> 00:23:09.119
When I looked at this earlier, the dragons were not favourites, the Tigers were oh I reckon the turmoil at the Tigers Dragons.
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:12.960
I'm gonna tick the dragons to get this done at Oh, it's at the Combank.
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.240
It is at the Combank.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.079
Interesting, interesting one.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:16.960
Who are you going with?
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.319
I'm gonna go for the Dragons.
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.880
I'm gonna I'm gonna write I'm gonna hop on their Dragons bandwagon and they're gonna finish the season straight.
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:31.440
You know, I put up um a post on our social media account, one of our Instagram, I think it was, after one of the Manly games, saying Manly aren't gonna win a game for the rest of the season.
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.680
This was four games ago, maybe three games ago.
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:34.079
Yeah.
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.160
So we've got the Dolphins, which I don't think we're gonna win.
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:43.039
We've got the Knights in Newcastle, yeah, which I don't think we're gonna win.
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.440
Then we've got the Dragons at home.
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:51.599
I'm we played the Warriors last game of the season in Auckland, so it all depends on whether they're wrestling players or not.
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.279
But then we've got the dragons at home.
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:55.519
Are we gonna see a victory?
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.880
Who knows?
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.440
Who knows?
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:59.759
What else is what other sports kicking off?
00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:01.519
A bit of cricket on today, weren't there?
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:02.000
Yeah.
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.559
Summer cricket is back here in Aussie in Australia.
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.559
That's the weird thing.
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.519
It's the it's the the Darwin summer, the the Darwin series or whatever it is, so it's it's quite warm up there.
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:12.960
And they got skilled for 198.
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:18.079
So they did against Bangladesh, who who I was listening, I was watching it on the way over, and Kerry O'Keefe was making a very good point.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:25.039
Like if Bangladesh cut out the stupid mistakes or started reducing the mistakes, it'd be a very good test team.
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.079
Um, their bowling attack looks like pretty decent.
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:28.960
It's just they're batting.
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.920
They just did you what I can't remember his name.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.720
Uh, I think he he's uh Goof or Hoof Hoof, I can't remember.
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:43.759
He it was the Kerry Okef was like he's he's averaging like 35, where he should be he should be averaging 45 just because of the stupid mistakes he makes.
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:51.759
So um, yeah, it'd be it's a good little Australia got the old dream line up, in there they've got in the bowling, they've got Lion Cummings, Hazelwood, and Stark.
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.440
Like I was watching Hazelwood bowl, just line and length, it was absolutely brilliant.
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.400
Can't go on forever, though.
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:04.079
He can't, and they're currently getting to like this is the thing Bangladesh will end up scoring like 300 and some in.
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:12.000
Australia will come out in the second inning, score 450, 500 in about 20 over, and then just skittle Bangladesh for like 60.
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:14.160
And it's like, oh, here we go again.
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:16.160
Anything else to discuss?
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.880
I think that's it.
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:17.680
I think that's everything.
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:19.039
Yeah, there we go.
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:19.680
There we go.
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:21.680
