- 0:00Speaker 1: Alright, World Cup underway, and we're recording this on a Thursday,
- 0:03Speaker 1: so the New Zealand-Australian game hasn't happened yet, so we
- 0:05Speaker 1: should record two intros.
- 0:07Speaker 2: What for?
- 0:08Speaker 1: Like one if Australia wins, and then one if New
- 0:11Speaker 1: Zealand wins the first game.
- 0:12Speaker 3: But I don't play anymore, so.
- 0:13Speaker 4: Let's do Australia wins first.
- 0:14Speaker 2: What a game!
- 0:15Speaker 3: What a game! Either way, what a game!
- 0:18Speaker 2: How good. That was great.
- 0:19Speaker 3: That was some bloody controversy, I thought, though.
- 0:22Speaker 2: You reckon? Yeah.
- 0:24Speaker 5: Big calls, but you know... Let's see if they keep
- 0:27Speaker 5: the consistency through the World Cup.
- 0:28Speaker 4: That's all we ask for, isn't it? Consistency at the
- 0:30Speaker 4: end of it.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Consistency. That's all we care about.
- 0:33Speaker 4: Okay, now let's do the New Zealand one.
- 0:34Speaker 3: What do you mean? That was for both.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Oh, wow. That was, yeah, you know.
- 0:38Speaker 3: It was an honest game.
- 0:39Speaker 4: What do we take out of it?
- 0:40Speaker 2: Well, I saw it kind of playing that way. Yeah.
- 0:44Speaker 3: It was end to end. Yeah, it was.
- 0:48Speaker 2: At the end of the day.
- 0:49Speaker 4: And the year the Wows have had.
- 0:50Speaker 3: It's not that surprising. Freakish tries.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely freakish. Yeah. You know. Long range.
- 0:56Speaker 3: What about that kick?
- 0:57Speaker 2: That kick was good, though. Oh, wasn't it?
- 0:59Speaker 3: It was just point. That was his own point. Had
- 1:02Speaker 3: it on a string all night, he did.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:04Speaker 4: And as you said, it was one up the middle.
- 1:06Speaker 4: You said it was going to happen.
- 1:09Speaker 3: And it was the forwards going forwards.
- 1:11Speaker 2: It was the backs going backs. You know what?
- 1:14Speaker 6: The halves, the other team was half as good as
- 1:18Speaker 6: the other halves.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
- 1:20Speaker 4: And can I say who the real winner was?
- 1:22Speaker 2: Rugby league.
- 1:22Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Rugby league.
- 1:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:25Speaker 3: So moving on. Oh, we won.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Oh, we lost. Another loss.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Let's have a look at tonight. So Samoa taking on France.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Samoa.
- 1:38Speaker 4: What about this for odds? Samoa, a dollar one.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes sense. A dollar one.
- 1:43Speaker 2: It should be 98 cents. 99 cents.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd lose money if you bet.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Yeah. Sorry, France.
- 1:48Speaker 4: So, yeah, they're not a rugby league powerhouse, France.
- 1:51Speaker 2: You know what is actually funny?
- 1:52Speaker 6: Because rugby league was absolutely massive in France when it
- 1:56Speaker 6: first started back in 19-oh-whatever.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Yeah. It was huge in France.
- 2:03Speaker 6: And then kind of England kind of started doing their
- 2:05Speaker 6: own thing and, you know, rugby union then got into
- 2:09Speaker 6: France and soccer and all those things.
- 2:11Speaker 5: With how big the French rugby is, it's surprising, like,
- 2:14Speaker 5: you know, the league isn't.
- 2:16Speaker 2: There isn't a bit of a crossover.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Well, I just thought, yeah, it might've been a bit more.
- 2:20Speaker 2: It's not like Australia where we just steal. Yeah. Like, no, no, no.
- 2:25Speaker 3: The only difference is you play the ball. The rest
- 2:26Speaker 3: is very similar.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:28Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Like I do like that.
- 2:29Speaker 4: The French team is full of proper Frenchmen. Like it's... Well, that's.
- 2:33Speaker 2: What the French team... Yeah, French is usually French.
- 2:36Speaker 4: No, well, you know, like some of the others we've got.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Oh, really? Yeah, Samoa have.
- 2:40Speaker 5: So like Semi would only be allowed to play for TI?
- 2:43Speaker 2: Yeah. Is that what you're saying? You're being racist.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying? You shouldn't have played for Australia.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I'm really surprised that England have picked all English players.
- 2:52Speaker 2: There's no one from Ireland there, is there?
- 2:54Speaker 4: I'm just saying there's a lot of.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Do you want to be a Tonga? They've got all
- 2:57Speaker 2: those Tonga players.
- 2:58Speaker 3: You wouldn't believe it.
- 2:59Speaker 4: There's a lot of Lebanese.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Players that have never been to Lebanon, is my point.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Oh, they've all been there. They've all been there.
- 3:08Speaker 4: The French players were born in France, is my point.
- 3:10Speaker 3: No, there's a few that aren't born in France. They
- 3:13Speaker 3: could have been born from some other places.
- 3:15Speaker 6: But mostly.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
- 3:18Speaker 4: So who do you think is going to win?
- 3:21Speaker 2: No, Samoa should win.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Samoa should win.
- 3:24Speaker 5: I'd love to see the French give them a run
- 3:26Speaker 5: for the first 10, 15.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Have some grit. And I think they will.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Yeah, bite down on the mouth guard.
- 3:32Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's what you want to see. You want
- 3:34Speaker 5: to see them have a go because you want to
- 3:35Speaker 5: see the game grow. And I think that's what they're doing.
- 3:41Speaker 5: Ten years ago, could you say that you were going
- 3:43Speaker 5: to see you know, Samoan and French team and like,
- 3:46Speaker 5: you know, you're excited to see how they perform.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Like, you know what I mean?
- 3:51Speaker 6: What these smaller nations need to do is be very
- 3:55Speaker 6: aware that we're trying to grow our game here in Australia.
- 3:57Speaker 6: We're trying to grow the National Rugby League. So there's
- 3:59Speaker 6: opportunities for spots here. Perth Bears start training on the
- 4:05Speaker 6: 1st of November. I don't even know if they've got
- 4:06Speaker 6: a full 30-man squad yet. PNG are coming into the competition.
- 4:10Speaker 6: You've also then, We're probably going to get another team
- 4:13Speaker 6: in not long after that as well.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Well, they want to go to Twain.
- 4:17Speaker 6: There are going to be opportunities. So there might be
- 4:20Speaker 6: some Bolters from Lebanon.
- 4:23Speaker 2: From France.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that we've never seen before.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Never seen before.
- 4:26Speaker 6: They may have just been toiling away, maybe over in
- 4:30Speaker 6: the UK in the Super League competition.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Maybe even just playing.
- 4:33Speaker 6: Here in Australia, just in our... you know, New South Wales, uh, and, uh,
- 4:38Speaker 6: Queensland cups.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:39Speaker 6: So there's, there's some great opportunities. And that's what you
- 4:42Speaker 6: want to see from this French team is like, all right, we,
- 4:45Speaker 6: we might not be Samoa in this game, but if
- 4:48Speaker 6: I can have a crack and I can mix it
- 4:50Speaker 6: with some of these guys, who knows, there might be a,
- 4:52Speaker 6: a chance opportunity for a, a 30 man squad, uh,
- 4:56Speaker 6: contract in the NRL, which then is only going to make, uh,
- 5:00Speaker 6: the French rugby league, uh, and you know, these other
- 5:04Speaker 6: small nations, uh, The kids want to play because they
- 5:07Speaker 6: might get the opportunity.
- 5:08Speaker 2: To come over to Australia.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Like it's happened with the Soccer World Cup.
- 5:12Speaker 1: You know, there's Australian Socceroos players now who've gotten these
- 5:15Speaker 1: huge deals. You know, Nestor is one of them. Just
- 5:17Speaker 1: by being excellent in the World Cup, there's your moment.
- 5:21Speaker 2: We're not going to pay you millions and millions of dollars.
- 5:23Speaker 2: We ain't got that. We're not there.
- 5:25Speaker 3: I don't think we'll ever be there.
- 5:26Speaker 2: What was it? A $ 20 million transfer fee or something? Yeah,
- 5:30Speaker 2: it was ridiculous.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Insane.
- 5:33Speaker 1: And by the way, daylight savings, be aware of daylight savings.
- 5:36Speaker 1: So it's a 4.45 kickoff for.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Queenslanders, that game.
- 5:40Speaker 2: What?
- 5:40Speaker 4: No, PM.
- 5:41Speaker 3: No, no, but like four in the RV.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Yeah, on Friday.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Yeah, good.
- 5:45Speaker 4: At 2.25 Saturday. All the tradies.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Will be watching it. It's dangerous. Knock off early. It's dangerous.
- 5:50Speaker 1: PNG taking on Lebanon. So that's the Saturday game.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Pretty good game.
- 5:53Speaker 4: It's pretty tight, actually.
- 5:54Speaker 6: That actually will be pretty tight, that game. There's a
- 5:56Speaker 6: few guys that play for Lebanon that are in the NRL.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Any that have ever been to Lebanon.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Yeah, they all have, mate.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I've told you. They've all been there, mate.
- 6:03Speaker 4: They've had a visit. Eating a kebab one time is
- 6:06Speaker 4: not the same.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Mate, they've all been there. I'm telling you.
- 6:09Speaker 3: You fly over it. Look, now I'm aware.
- 6:11Speaker 4: There it is.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I knew I was from there. Okay. Yeah, actually, that'll
- 6:18Speaker 3: be a good game. It'll be an exciting game of footy.
- 6:21Speaker 6: And that's up in P & G. They're playing as well.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Yeah. It'll be a.
- 6:25Speaker 6: Great crowd up there and probably the toughest... conditions out
- 6:29Speaker 6: of all the games because it's going.
- 6:30Speaker 2: To be warm up there. Is it going to be hot? Yeah,
- 6:32Speaker 2: she'll be hot and dry. She's always hot. Yeah, true.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Alex Twile captaining Lebanon.
- 6:36Speaker 3: That's awesome though. I love it.
- 6:39Speaker 5: I really think this could be a game where everyone goes, oh,
- 6:43Speaker 5: you know, it won't be exciting.
- 6:44Speaker 3: But I think when these games happen, people, okay, let's
- 6:48Speaker 3: switch on. Let's control the ball.
- 6:50Speaker 5: If you control the ball in a game like this,
- 6:52Speaker 5: it is actually an incredible game of footy.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Alex Twile, super competitor. And you've got.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Carras fullback.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Carras fullback. It's a good team. Who's like so good. Yeah,
- 7:02Speaker 2: he's an incredible player. He's been absolutely brilliant for the Bulldogs. So, yeah,
- 7:04Speaker 2: it's going to be a good game.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I think maybe after the Australia-New Zealand game, there's a
- 7:09Speaker 1: big game of the round.
- 7:10Speaker 4: It's England-Tonga.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Oh, I reckon. So close. And this one's over in Perth,
- 7:14Speaker 2: this game as well. Yeah, right.
- 7:17Speaker 4: So, obviously, you've got Herbie playing for England, we know.
- 7:20Speaker 6: What about that for just throwing the clock out the window?
- 7:24Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 7:24Speaker 2: It's Daylight Savings on the East Coast.
- 7:26Speaker 6: In New South Wales and all the other states.
- 7:29Speaker 3: So what time does it start then?
- 7:31Speaker 4: For us, it's 7 o'clock for us.
- 7:33Speaker 2: 7 o'clock.
- 7:34Speaker 3: But what time will it be there?
- 7:35Speaker 2: On Saturday night. 5 o'clock.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Is it 5?
- 7:38Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, backwards. Oh! Yeah, yeah.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Is it 3 hours for Perth?
- 7:45Speaker 3: I thought Perth was 3.
- 7:47Speaker 4: It's 3.
- 7:47Speaker 2: It is 3.
- 7:47Speaker 4: With Daylight Savings.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Daylight Savings.
- 7:49Speaker 3: Oh, with.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Oh, I'm confused.
- 7:50Speaker 4: So it's 4 o'clock.
- 7:51Speaker 5: 4 o'clock Saturday they're.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Going backwards I don't know they're going forwards.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Otherwise it can't be 10pm I thought it was opposite
- 8:00Speaker 5: you can't say that is it What.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Is wrong with us?
- 8:03Speaker 3: What time was Origin over there?
- 8:05Speaker 2: I don't know. Anyway.
- 8:07Speaker 4: So if you fly to Perth.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Shut up, you're hurting my brain.
- 8:10Speaker 4: You go back in time.
- 8:11Speaker 2: No.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Do you?
- 8:12Speaker 2: So you can win Lotto.
- 8:16Speaker 3: If you hop on when the Lotto is drawn.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Then you can get the numbers.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and then fly over.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Exactly. Yes. So at 11.13 in Brisbane right now.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Yes.
- 8:25Speaker 2: It's 1983 in Perth. It's 1983. 1983.
- 8:27Speaker 7: All right.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Very good.
- 8:32Speaker 6: That one's from Jason, who is a Western Australian loser.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Anyway. He was born over there.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Yeah, had a Fremantle game.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Wolfie time was good. Oh, wow. Sorry. I'm sorry. Too early.
- 8:43Speaker 3: I didn't mean it.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Jokes.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Jokes, bruh.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Yeah. That was too early. It was not.
- 8:51Speaker 3: It's been ages now.
- 8:52Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying it was too early, just like
- 8:54Speaker 2: Wolfie time. Oh, nice.
- 8:58Speaker 3: You reckon we should have Wolfie time here now?
- 9:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Call it lion time.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Lion time.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Meow.
- 9:05Speaker 4: The Tonga team is so stacked, isn't it? Izzy Katoa,
- 9:07Speaker 4: Fionnuala Blake.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 9:10Speaker 4: JT is the captain, Tomorolo.
- 9:11Speaker 3: I think you better say Jonathan Thurston. He still could play.
- 9:15Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Nah, his knees are no good.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Nah, and his shoulder's a bastard too. He couldn't tackle.
- 9:20Speaker 1: But yeah, but the Poms have got some really exciting
- 9:22Speaker 1: players as well.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Big Pierce Paul.
- 9:24Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how the Poms go. I want
- 9:26Speaker 3: to see the Poms do well. Yeah.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Hugo Savalas in the centres.
- 9:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Like, they've got skilful players.
- 9:33Speaker 5: I just, I don't know. How long has it been
- 9:36Speaker 5: since they've been a really dominant team?
- 9:38Speaker 2: Oh, you know what too?
- 9:39Speaker 6: Hugo Savalas playing in the centres. I thought he was
- 9:41Speaker 6: great in the centres this year.
- 9:42Speaker 3: No, I love him in the centres.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I thought he was really good.
- 9:45Speaker 6: AJ Brimson playing fullback for England AJ yeah yeah that's
- 9:49Speaker 6: going to be good Latu Finu that's the only thing
- 9:53Speaker 6: I was worried about who was going to play in
- 9:55Speaker 6: the halves with Izzy Katoa.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Finu's alright he goes good he does his job.
- 10:00Speaker 2: He will have to be just the running 5-8.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Yeah, he's good at it.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 10:04Speaker 6: So Izzy will be the one that takes control, but
- 10:07Speaker 6: I think... Is he.
- 10:09Speaker 4: West Tigers normally?
- 10:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:11Speaker 3: He played good this year when he was asked.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:15Speaker 6: That is, yeah, apart from Yeah, Australia-New Zealand, which has
- 10:19Speaker 6: already been played.
- 10:20Speaker 2: What a great game that was. It was a really
- 10:22Speaker 2: good game.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Just right to the bone.
- 10:24Speaker 2: That is, definitely. Yeah, you hit the nail on the head.
- 10:27Speaker 2: That is the next game of the round.
- 10:30Speaker 3: I think, yeah, the England team, people could be underestimating.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Who do you think is going to win that, though?
- 10:35Speaker 4: Who's your tips? England and Tonga?
- 10:36Speaker 3: I'm not going to say.
- 10:38Speaker 5: Everyone would be saying Tonga, but I'm purely just.
- 10:42Speaker 3: I don't know what England's going to dish up.
- 10:43Speaker 2: I think.
- 10:45Speaker 5: They can be competitive and they can go all the
- 10:47Speaker 5: way in this comp. A few lads that have been
- 10:49Speaker 5: playing over here in Oz as well. But even the
- 10:53Speaker 5: game over there is getting better. Super League is getting
- 10:55Speaker 5: better and better, I think, every year. The more players,
- 10:57Speaker 5: the more coaches. And, yeah, it's not an easy game
- 11:02Speaker 5: to what people think. You know, people are thinking, oh,
- 11:06Speaker 5: I would say there'd be six to ten points in
- 11:09Speaker 5: the win, but it'll probably be.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Late in the game. Hmm.
- 11:12Speaker 4: And then the last game of the round is Fiji-Cook Islands.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Good game.
- 11:15Speaker 4: That's on Sunday.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Great game.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Yeah, Fiji, we know a fair few of the players.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Cook Islands. They've both got a lot of players.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 11:25Speaker 3: That'll be a really good game.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Competitive.
- 11:28Speaker 6: Great opportunity for Cook Islands there.
- 11:30Speaker 2: And, you know, it's been great. I think that's been
- 11:32Speaker 2: the best thing about having that.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Lexi, don't play it, Rock.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Pacific Championships.
- 11:37Speaker 3: On the edge, mate.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Just help him out.
- 11:38Speaker 3: That's all you've got to do.
- 11:40Speaker 2: I don't think he is playing, mate.
- 11:42Speaker 5: No, I know, but he'll probably throw his hand up
- 11:43Speaker 5: when an injury happens.
- 11:44Speaker 3: I'm ready to go. Sit down, champion.
- 11:47Speaker 2: I'd be doing the same thing.
- 11:49Speaker 3: What, sitting down?
- 11:50Speaker 2: No, you always bring your boots, mate, just in case.
- 11:52Speaker 2: You have boots? Yeah, 100%, brah. Mate, you should have
- 11:56Speaker 2: seen me kill touch.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Have you got enough strapping tape?
- 11:59Speaker 2: I never strap, mate. No, but now you will. No, mate.
- 12:01Speaker 2: No strapping tape at all. No, but now. No, never.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Now. I hated getting my ankles strapped.
- 12:07Speaker 2: You're 40. Still good, brah. My body is beautiful.
- 12:11Speaker 7: Oh.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Yes.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Happy Coruscant for Fiji. Happy is still going strong.
- 12:17Speaker 3: I think it'll be a.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Good game of footy.
- 12:19Speaker 5: The Cook Islanders have been getting better, I think, every year.
- 12:22Speaker 3: But Fiji, I'm not underestimating. They're talented. The sevens and
- 12:25Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff. They're talented, fit. You know, powerful.
- 12:35Speaker 4: Either of you have been to the Cook Islands?
- 12:37Speaker 2: Oh, no. I want to go.
- 12:38Speaker 3: I want to go badly. Where are they?
- 12:40Speaker 2: They're in the ocean.
- 12:41Speaker 3: They're in the ocean. There's a lot of islands.
- 12:43Speaker 6: Yeah, beautiful blue water.
- 12:45Speaker 4: Can you be more Pacific?
- 12:46Speaker 2: Can you be more Pacific about where they are in
- 12:48Speaker 2: the Pacific? Yes, please. You can cook on them. Yeah.
- 12:52Speaker 2: You can actually. You're allowed to cook on the islands.
- 12:54Speaker 4: I'm assuming, did Captain Cook.
- 12:56Speaker 5: name them is that what we that's a we don't
- 12:59Speaker 5: talk about.
- 13:02Speaker 8: That's a no yeah we're trying to move on from
- 13:05Speaker 8: that coach by Carmichael Hunt oh yes yeah yeah who's
- 13:11Speaker 8: you know he's great morale yeah he's.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Been coaching what do.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You say he's suggesting party time is going to be
- 13:18Speaker 1: good or what yeah I've got to bring players together
- 13:21Speaker 1: I can let you know right now that.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Well, is Lexi on the coaching staff?
- 13:25Speaker 2: I don't know. They haven't won a game.
- 13:27Speaker 3: If Lexi's on the coaching staff, the morale will be high.
- 13:29Speaker 4: They haven't won a game, but morale is through the roof.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Well, let's just say he was the... What was he?
- 13:34Speaker 2: The chief hype man or.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Whatever he was. Yeah, he's a hype man.
- 13:38Speaker 2: It didn't work for the Bronx this year, Lex. Sorry, bro.
- 13:40Speaker 8: No.
- 13:41Speaker 4: Yeah, he was the field, on field hype man.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Hype master got in trouble got in trouble.
- 13:46Speaker 6: Too yeah for saying something about the bomb yeah yelling
- 13:49Speaker 6: out when the kick was that if he drops it yeah.
- 13:52Speaker 7: Let's go Rondo as a fullback shot really to be
- 13:57Speaker 7: fair you can't hear a lot exactly as a winger
- 14:00Speaker 7: I'm not kidding you can't hear much anything like that
- 14:03Speaker 7: to be honest you're focused on the ball.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Expecting an upset in that game or do you think
- 14:08Speaker 1: Fiji is going to win that.
- 14:09Speaker 6: Well Fiji they've got a little bit of a turnover
- 14:12Speaker 6: they've got some younger guys that are coming through I
- 14:16Speaker 6: think they're still building the game in Fiji really at
- 14:19Speaker 6: the end of the day because rugby and rugby sevens
- 14:22Speaker 6: is still king in Fiji. Petro Seven Receivers going over there.
- 14:26Speaker 6: He's doing some brilliant work with the Silk Tales who
- 14:29Speaker 6: play in the New South Wales Cup competition. And they're
- 14:34Speaker 6: trying to actually get some more teams in to play
- 14:37Speaker 6: at a few different levels. So creating a genuine pathway.
- 14:40Speaker 6: But yeah, they've got a few guys in. You've got
- 14:42Speaker 6: to think big Tui.
- 14:45Speaker 2: From the Melbourne Storm. Oh, yeah.
- 14:46Speaker 6: Medically retired this year. He'll be a big out for them.
- 14:49Speaker 6: He's such a great leader. But, yeah, they've got some
- 14:53Speaker 6: handy players. I think Fiji win this game easy. And
- 14:57Speaker 6: the Cook Islands will be competitive. But that is– lack
- 15:01Speaker 6: a few big game experience players.
- 15:04Speaker 7: All right.
- 15:05Speaker 1: They used to have, there's always like a couple of
- 15:07Speaker 1: Fijian wingers that you'd always see.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Marika Korobeti.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Yeah, Korobeti.
- 15:16Speaker 7: Oh, yes.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Sonny Tarouba's got a spot.
- 15:19Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Look, they're all tough as nails, if I'm honest.
- 15:21Speaker 5: You can't hit them hard enough because the harder you
- 15:23Speaker 5: hit them, the more it hurts you, not them.
- 15:26Speaker 3: I'm serious, man. It hurts. But, yeah, I think you're right.
- 15:30Speaker 3: I think it's the Fijian.
- 15:32Speaker 5: Now they can they could show us a lot like
- 15:35Speaker 5: they could be like how much they've improved but down
- 15:38Speaker 5: the track with you know how much um pet's doing
- 15:41Speaker 5: and and the game and old players i'm excited to
- 15:44Speaker 5: see where they go with their game um yeah because
- 15:48Speaker 5: their their skill and all of that is you.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Know they got more of it than than everyone.
- 15:54Speaker 6: Else but again again this is a another team i
- 15:56Speaker 6: talk about yeah real chance opportunity to get players into
- 15:59Speaker 6: the NRL.
- 15:59Speaker 3: Yeah, a huge chance.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Massive.
- 16:01Speaker 3: And they're skillful. They have it all.
- 16:04Speaker 2: The Bulldogs do a fair bit over there in Fiji. Yeah.
- 16:07Speaker 6: They go and do a fair bit of recruiting over
- 16:09Speaker 6: there and some real development stuff.
- 16:14Speaker 5: One thing Pet didn't get was the speed, though.
- 16:16Speaker 2: He used to play in the centres back in the day.
- 16:18Speaker 2: You know that. I know, but he lost it quick. Yeah. Yeah.
- 16:22Speaker 4: What, Petro?
- 16:23Speaker 2: Yeah, when he used to play.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Was he in the centres?
- 16:24Speaker 2: He played for the Redcliffe Dolphins. He used to play
- 16:26Speaker 2: in the centres, yeah.
- 16:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 16:27Speaker 3: That's terrifying.
- 16:28Speaker 4: Imagine being a little centre.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Oh, I know. A little centre.
- 16:31Speaker 4: Like sort of in the local league.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Big knees coming into your face. What do you want
- 16:36Speaker 3: to cop today, son? The knee or the hand?
- 16:37Speaker 2: I don't know. Where do I go?
- 16:41Speaker 4: Your best bet is to get a head knock and
- 16:43Speaker 4: just be knocked down.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Take it off. Be done with it.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Oh, no. No, back in those days, you weren't allowed
- 16:48Speaker 2: to do that.
- 16:48Speaker 4: You had to play on.
- 16:49Speaker 2: You had to play on.
- 16:50Speaker 3: You can't run without a head.
- 16:51Speaker 2: I'm dying here.
- 16:52Speaker 5: The old saying with Petra, you can't run without a head.
- 16:54Speaker 3: I can't reach his head. How do I get there?
- 16:58Speaker 1: So we'll have more World Cup on the show next week,

- 18:46Speaker 3: Chidiak.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Jimmy McCollum.
- 18:50Speaker 3: What am I looking at?

- 19:23Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's me. That's me for the cosy.
- 19:25Speaker 2: And now the Everest. Come on, Kip.
- 19:29Speaker 3: What have you got, Kip?
- 19:29Speaker 2: I've changed my mind.
- 19:30Speaker 4: I can't even find these on my betting app. This
- 19:32Speaker 4: is how little I bet.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Saturday.
- 19:34Speaker 4: What do you mean?
- 19:34Speaker 3: It's on Saturday, not tomorrow.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Yeah, go race this Saturday, mate.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Who did you pick, Sam?
- 19:40Speaker 2: I'm picking Eleven in the Kosciuszko. Oh, yeah? Graceful, that one.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Graceful? She's graceful. And then we'll go Everest.
- 19:51Speaker 6: I already said this one, didn't I, before? I know,
- 19:53Speaker 6: that was way before.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Look, it's one of those races where there's one horse
- 19:57Speaker 5: that should win.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and it usually does. And probably will. Yeah.
- 20:00Speaker 3: But I don't, I hate backing the favorite. I hate
- 20:05Speaker 3: backing $ 1.
- 20:05Speaker 2: 50. Because sometimes you don't want to be tempted.
- 20:08Speaker 3: I'm going Blue Door.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Blue Door.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Blue door for me.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Looking at my blue door. Tempted for Bruce.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew you were going to tempt Bruce.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Spicy martini to run top four.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Yes, love the spice.
- 20:23Speaker 4: Tempted and spicy martini.
- 20:26Speaker 3: Love a bit of spice. Who you got? Bruce, you
- 20:29Speaker 3: just go spicy. I mean, Samuel, you go spicy.
- 20:32Speaker 2: No, mate.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Yeah, that was your pink. I did say that before.
- 20:36Speaker 3: That was your slit, remember, not your tip.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's me. Oh, geez, Louise.
- 20:41Speaker 1: I like a roughy, so I want to put a
- 20:43Speaker 1: couple of bucks on Skybird.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Skybird. $ 101.
- 20:46Speaker 3: Yes, actually, its last win.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:49Speaker 3: It's a great win, and it didn't have the best run.
- 20:52Speaker 4: You know, and Powderfinger in the news right now.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Oh.
- 20:55Speaker 4: Skybird.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't think it's. I know. It's only.
- 21:00Speaker 2: You're clutching the straws here.
- 21:01Speaker 3: It's only downfall, Kippers. It doesn't like the wet.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Skybird doesn't?
- 21:05Speaker 3: No.
- 21:06Speaker 4: Oh, it'll dry out.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
- 21:07Speaker 3: No.
- 21:08Speaker 4: You watch.
- 21:09Speaker 3: It doesn't like a soft track. It likes it heavy, so.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, gamble responsibly. Yeah.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Don't get on Skybird. Don't listen to us.
