  Speaker 5: face to face, come and shake your hand, look in

  Speaker 5: the eye.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: He did, He did the gentleman, which was very old fashioned. Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: and I appreciated that. But that's where the story stopped.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: And then like an old fashioned finished at that point
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: in time. Then after that, well, the funny thing was,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I was meant to ask at lunch. I went for
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: lunch and didn't ask, and then I dropped him back
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: and said I was because that's where fox, remember it
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: was underneath. Yeah, And I was like, I asked, I
• 2:32

  Speaker 6: I think I should something. If you look after my
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: daughter as she should look at be looked after, you'll
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: get my blessing some words to that effect.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I like that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And how's he gone?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: So I still after that at back?
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Ye, it's no, there's not a lot of love there.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: I love the grand because.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Sounds good for something.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Drop member every time he did.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but he didn't want to seem biased, and that's gena.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: That's essentially while we got you on it. It is
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: that time of year, it's origin the season you're proud,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: proud number four twenty eight, twenty eight.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, did you know what I did?
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: It was a twenty something, yeah, twenty five. But you
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: are a part of the selection process now when it
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: comes to.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: I've been a part of the selection process for twenty
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: five years. Twenty five years straight up, which is remarkable
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: in itself because I'm one hundred now. But having said that,
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: like it's started off, as you know, we had all
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: members of a selection meeting and we had a chairman,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: you know, official chairman of the which I inherited after
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: Das Morris and Alan Smith moved on. And now it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: it's more like just having a conversation with Lucky and Bill.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That three in a room and then you're sort of
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: like through the WEEKI your group texting going. You know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Reese had a stinker, maybe he's out, like what.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Nothing. When it's time to hook up telephones, I get
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Locky to do it because I couldn't bring you in
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: or you in. But no, it's not it's not like
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Billy does all the work right, Like he's just like
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: I've never ever worked with the guy that is so
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: as thorough as he has been, like since he hit
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: the scene four years ago, five years ago, and he
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: does his research on every available Queensland. He can tell
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: you who your junior club was, what positions you played
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: in your junior clubs, and then you progress to the
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: the big League and during that period. So he's got
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: he's got so much information on all of his But
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: it was a qualify to play for Queensland.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: And he's pretty hands on too, like he does a
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: bit of travel throughout the start of the season and
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: get around to.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: With his commentary. Yeah, but initially he went to towns all
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: got the group of Towns or North Queensland, the guys there,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: and then he did a trip. Yeah, he did a
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: road trip initially just to get to know everybody, which
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: no one's ever done before.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: This is building all the cities, isn't he gets all
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: those groups together.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, we had like an emerging camp this year
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: which which came together in February that the n RL
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: give you a weekend to do. That stuff was done
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: exactly the same as what we did. But you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: as I said, I can't emphasize how thorough he actually is.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: You know, he's anal. He's anal about it, which you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: proven a winner.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I think as a former fullback for him,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he's probably best person to judge. But that seems like
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the number one. Picking the fullback was the hardest job
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: for this election, you reckon.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: Well, we had three to choose from, basically, you know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: three champions stew by the way, and he did have
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: a he did have a different player. They're playing there
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: before we released the team, simply because you know, he
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: spent a lot of time with all three of them,
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: and he expected probably a little bit more from Reese,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: you know, leading into the series, and we knew he
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: was coming back from a facial injury, which isn't easy
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: to do. But he finally went for obviously Kaitlin and
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: which didn't come as a big surprise. But you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: there was no heckling about the three selectors. Like, you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: his nuts are on the line, not Blocky's or mine.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: And I told him that from day one when he
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: first came in, I said, my jaw nuts on the line.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: So whatever you want, you emphasize that you want it,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: and you'll get it, you know. So and that's what.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: That's what. The importance of game one too is something
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: else I emphasize with him, just through experience, Like you
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: win game one, you know, you go into game two
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: camp a little bit less stress. Absolutely no, there's no
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: change worrying about losing the series changes and so forth.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: So you know, he's he's picked three out of four
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: of those boxes. You know, he's one game one. When
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: we lose game one last year, last year we lost
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: in our backyard. You know, and Corey, you did play
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: did you play? You played Origin?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: You have nine games?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wouldn't give me ten.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're only qualified play if you played double prestures,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: double figures. He's got a lot of friends there.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: When you figure is it two weeks out, Billy will
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: say I've got a team, yes, is it about two weeks?
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And he's done his study and he's what's those
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: things as eagle eye whole yep, And you know he
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: picks he picks out things that you wouldn't even think about.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: You know, he's clocked off here. He's gone to the
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: short side. Just have a rest, you know, and a
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: number of players that have done that, and you know
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: that's that doesn't go well with the coach he wants
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: to he wants your full on.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Is Billy now looking to select players off how he
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: think the game, how he thinks the game is going
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: to be played as well?
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a good, good point, because New South I was
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: doing exactly the same. Yeah, yeah, you know with with
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: the six again rule, it's just changed changed the origin.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: You know, back in the day, it was just get
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: the ball, run hard and fast, tackle hard and fast
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: and things will happen. Now it'll be run run fast,
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: but run through the middle of the rock and get
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: on your guts and play the balls and momentum and
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: then spread it out to your speed.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Would you be any good these days in this game?
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Easy Kill'd be on report a few times. Boys up.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Back then night.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: It was you can't run without a head. You used
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: to be. You know there's junior coaches you can't run
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: without legs. Well, when you get to the big league.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: It's definitely the best time of year.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you just you can tell, can't. There's a bit
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: of a nip in the air now. Ten days in
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: camp it would have had a couple of big nights
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: Monday night and Tuesday nights. Today's the first field session.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: So it's all head down, bump up now and fly
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: down Monday, run out Wednesday evening and hopefully we get
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: one in their own backyard. That won't be easy, you know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: not no, no Origin games easier that they're all they're
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: all tough. But as you said, if you make limited
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: mistakes and just do the basics correctly, you're halfway there.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Are there any Queensland?
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You feel you know obviously we're talking. Yeah, anyone actually
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: like that? You know you're great, we love you, but
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you're just not quite there this time around.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: Tommy Gilbert from the Fence, you know, he's back healthy
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: again and he's an Origin player. Tommy, he's got the
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: feature throughout the series in the world and you know
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: everyone's not going to get through hopefully, you know, with
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: a win after game one, you you'd love to go
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: with the same side, but you know, just through wear
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: and tear and reports and yeah, suspensions and whatever whatever else?
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Did you know? So you end up using a squad
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: of around twenty on you know in the series, but
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: no top Tommy givers. Tom Im Gilbert is one guy
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: that you know, he's just made for State of Origin.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: He doesn't give a ratsass about reputation, and he'd play
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: eighty minutes for you too, and he you know, but
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: he's probably a little unlucky.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I might have asked you this already.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: But how close was I know Corey Hawsber when he
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: did play that game a while back? Now you know
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: that mature head wasn't there. I feel like now he's
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: that mature player that and he's fit, and he plays
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: a long minutes and he's still aggressive and does it all.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But more mature is he is? He almost? Is he close?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: We already picked the redhead though.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: So.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Flag or coy is he was?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: He still?
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: Of course he's playing good foot and he's playing longer minutes.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: If somebody doesn't up, Yeah, he's always there, but you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: injuries will come.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Into It's always good to have one ginger. I think
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: too dangerous.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: It's role.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a great team, but there's still there'd be
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: still half a dozen players that I think. I think
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: that's the beauty of we're at at the moment, is
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: we're having arguments about other players the team or could
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: be in the team. So you know that's that's where
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: you want to bet at the end of the day,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: you don't want to be going or you know who
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: have we got big from?
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Nigger is an interesting you know, like he grew up
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: on the Gold Coast apparently, which I didn't know. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: just waited for to know that.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You're the chairman of selected, you know that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: That's right, Billion, just a tight little group the coffee
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: catch up.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, you know been you know he's going
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: to play for the Kiwis. Yeah, which would be a
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: bit strange play for Queensland then played for the Kiwis.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: But you said, always got plenty of them to don't worry.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: But it'll be interesting because he'll be coming off the
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: bench and he's always got plenty of energy. It runs
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: a great line, you know. It's just it'll be interesting
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: how he handles the big scene.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: When you're making your selections, Jean, what's the protocol? Like,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: so you've decided you're not going to pick Reeese Walsh,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: does somebody get on the phone to him first?
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, post post a selection, Billy Billy will
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: contact the guys right, and he's got a great relationship
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: with him, like he's been Tutoring's big time for the
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: last three three or four years. So, and Reese is
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: a student of his and you know he's because he
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: loves him. He loves him as a player, and he
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: knows what he what he can produce. And he's just
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: at the moment, he's just he's just off the mark.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Rust. Yeah, yeah, he's not far off.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: It was a long way, a long time out a
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: lot of things. But you can't pick bullshit.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think when he's not, you know, naturally bringing
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that flare.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: He's a confidences aden. Confidence is through the roof.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And Herbie Farmorth only just missed out being in Queensland
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: because he arrived here too late. But if Herbie you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: had been a here, hypothetically he'd be in the team.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to Unfortunately, Lad, you didn't come out
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: early enough.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Can't we cry.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Enough? Sorry?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Can't we call someone and make that I mean six
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: months or something?
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: He'd love to play for.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: He always said that.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's done if it's that close.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they can't just get bending the rules. I think, Yeah,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: what was he it was fifteen fifteen? Yeah?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: What nice?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you remember how you got dropped when you
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: got dropped from origin.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: What I wasn't selecting then?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: So what happened?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Did you get up?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Did you like think you were a chance? And then
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: what happened?
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: WHOA?
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Obviously yeah I thought I was a chance but we lost.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: The first game was a twenty seventeen Game one we
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: lost at Suncorp Stadium.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: And then I don't know, I didn't get a chance
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: to have a crack for game two.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: But what that went on and won the series anyway,
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: But I chalk that up as a winning series seventeen.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll retired.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: When was your last?
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, Sami?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Game thirty?
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Cool played twenty?
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: What a thirty two?
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: There's thirty games?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Did you get something?
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Thirty?
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Is that new watch?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Is the Statesman states?
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're both not in that category, so's I can't
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: tell the time?
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: You know it?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that would have sucked.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: But you know, the funny thing is like one at
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: the time, Yeah, I'm sitting at the bloody dinner table
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: about the cutting in my birthday cake and then I
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: see the team get announced on TV and.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Go oh, ship didn't make it. But you know the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: thing is in that moment, of course, it's it's it's
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: fucking heart wrenching.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Because you want to you want to play every game.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: For pointing out at the end of the day.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: It was yeah, but in hindsight, I've got to play
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: twenty nine games of Queensland. Yeah, and you want em.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Many lads sitting there in the Hackston watching the you know,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: the State of Origin guard, you know, I wish I
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: could just run out there once and represent your state,
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: like once exactly.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Twenty nine was like.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Huge, huge, Yeah, a lot and then yeah, so that's huge.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: An eleven series in total and one ten of.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Them, so that's pretty awesome.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a huge part of the eighth straight and like
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: that's history. I'm I played with future and more rules
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: of that game. So putting line is plenty enough. We
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: playing together to you, that's good and you were definitely
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: did we Yeah, and you were definitely reserve case.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I want to play games.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: I was a part of three series wins more than Gal.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, Gal, I've got a games Gal. I love him.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Hey, Gal, this is.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: The guy I told you about as the guy I
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: told you about said.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: He hated you. He did, he said he hated.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: When you were playing.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: What you say you're hating?
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Sorry, gal talk to the random I want to say you.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: All right, it's getting around twelve, so it's a short round,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: only five games and kicking off Thursday night. So tonight
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the Dolphin Raiders. Dolphins, they look good, didn't they.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they look good when they got six other players
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: in their team.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I think the decimated.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Flagler like really really great representation for the like and
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: it's off the back of the way they've been playing
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: this year. So yeah, it is going to make it
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: hard camera Ethan strange, isn't there's a young I forgot
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: about that. Yeah, so a tough one to pick. And
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: you know what I love about this time of year
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: and you probably be the same too. This is the
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: time of year where young follows.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Get it cracked.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: And the beauty of it is is like those guys
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: are going to come back in once they finish Origin,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: but you might.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Be securing that bench spot.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: You might go from the starting team to being on
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: the bench and then you know you're then you become
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: a regular first graders. And the other thing is too,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: if that if that young dude performs right in that
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: position that is filling in for an Origin player. The
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: week that the players can play and need to come back.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: If that, if that guy has performed, you're then actually
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: given the Origin guy and a bit more rest. You
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: get more experience again another game of n r L.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: You know, it's crucial in that first.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Five games of your career.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: You really need to show what you've gotten and trying
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: to very new performance and and put your best foot forward. Yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: very chilly down there. You've got Trade Fuller playing fullback
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: for the which is we've got a great step and
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: you got think too. They still got Boss Stock in
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: the team and he'll be fine.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: But Nickorema he's playing well, he's a key with Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but Nickorema is out of this game.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: For a little bit.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah something, he's hurt something.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: But brilliant footy Felice Cafusi pushes up into which is
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: a great person.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just just bring in an origin legend.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, and.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Is named in the twelve because the twenty yeah, twentieth
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: twenty twentieth can't play anymore.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: So so he can still play, but then potentially be
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: on the bench because he's the reserve.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, he's the reserve of the reserves. So yeah, so.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Usually eighteen nineteen could play.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: But now they're actually on the bench, right they can't play,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: So he can play if he gets injured or you know,
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: say he can't, but I can't feel that spot on
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: the day to rock up and be that. Actually during
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: the session they'll bringing someone else.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: In the kind of thing.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: But so tough round to pick then it.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Is hard tough round across the board.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Really just go on the Raiders because they got less
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: out in their home and it's cold and it's hard
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: to play down there.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's so true.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: And honestly, they do need a couple of wins, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: I really think they need to take them when they
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: when they can, and I think this is a game
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: that they probably think they should win. Yeah, I'm backing
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: them to put a good performance on the Raids. It's
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: going to be easy because of the way that Dolphins
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: are playing. It's bloody good, you know, and they're actually
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: doing it consistently, so purely off what I've just you know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: just because of where it is.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: I've gone the Raiders, Yep, fins.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Up, pins up, You're going Dolphins. I think Dolphins too.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I think all right, then Friday night, only one game
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Storm taking on the Bulldogs Hard's home game for the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Bulldogs Storm. Can they go three in a row?
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Well they lost Grant Monster Grant. That's that's all you
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: really need to know.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jack Underhill, the Sunny Coast kid, he debuted last
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: week at Magic Ground. Oh yeah, and he gets another
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: spot on the bench.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Lost Wing Burton.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Yeah, I was criting.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I think, just criting.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got and.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: They aren't playing good footy.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: No. I like Storm through in an arm Guard Storm.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Like, I'm just looking through the Storm team at the moment.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: They're still, you know, it's somewhat strong, you know what.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: I was surprised, but Jack Hawe has not been on
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: the eighteen nineteen for them.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was going they going shib with Saki.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: He was there. I know.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: That's the loyalty factor, I believe, because you know super
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately he's not in great form. He's not confidence at
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: the Yeah, and that's what it is. He's still put
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: an effort in trying. But it's just that confidence part
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: that I think really booshy game. You need confidence, you
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: know for any game to excel.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I reckon, you know.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: What who we should have said before when talking to
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Gina honorable mention Kurt Man. Kurtman, Yeah, and just I
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: think it's the it's just that the dogs, you know,
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: you can't, you can't perform, and you're just struggling.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Same as before.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: They want to. He will, he will feature at some
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: point in time.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: I reckon the way the game is, you'll get your
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: twenty three players.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: We asked, all right, come on, let's get to it
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: all right, stormless dogs, Dogs on a, Dragons, Warriors on A, Dragons,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Warriors on the Saturday game now home game for the Dragons. Yeah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Yeah, surely, surely Warriors Warriors, Warriors.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Because of what I said. I don't want him to
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: not win. But because of what I said, I'm going
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: until they.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: We're going to get ten of boys out though. Yeah,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and that's.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: When it came on.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And look, I want to give a shout out to
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: poor old Tenor.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Mate.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Good luck with the recovery. I wish all the best.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: It's yeah, it was hard for I think a million
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: odd fans to see that, but mate, you were going great.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: But look, good luck with the surgery and go up
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: with the recovery.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, go to the Dragons.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to take the Dragons or you're a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: mad person, all right, bro. The second Saturday game is
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the Seagulls taken on the Titans home game for Manly.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Fosball all the way Manly for me, like the Titans,
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: they just seem to break my heart every time. Well
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I went, I've gone Manly because they're missing there they
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: go forward Titans.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Jojo is such a big part.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Of their team.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think, I think.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: But just their set starts, JoJo's into form, and yeah,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: I think they're going to.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Miss it Manly lose anyone to Origin.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Cola, Yeah, they've got They've always had great backs. They've
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: always had a lot of really good backs to fill in.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Cola is going to be scary on the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: wing for New South Wales.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to see him, actually see how he
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: goes because there's games where he makes it look easy.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: And he's never played on the wing before.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Well no, but does that matter.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: It's good for Queens the again, Origin is different. Yeah,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: that's all I can say. The best the best players
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: and you kind of get looked after and he'll be
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: he'll be sweet.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Like he will be asked to do more work.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: But I'm going Manly fozzball.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: All Manly, Manly, Manly and then the last game Sunday
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Cowboys at home to the Rabbit O's Latrell's still out.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: His lower back looks like otherwise he'd be.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Playing Gary Jack.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad he's out for New South Wales. Yeah,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: although he look rampaging form.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I do believe he would have been picked if if
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: he ever saw back, but I think would have been
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: picked also over over him.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I think Toni deserves that.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Spot more than anyone actually, ye, in that back back line,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: he's in some crack and form, some scary form. Well
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: it would have been in all honesty, it would have
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: been trail left side and then.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I feel the right side.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: But the scary thing with Crichton he just performs when
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: he needs to be.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: And you know, I think.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: He's a big man. We saw him on Friday. I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't ready to see him in the flesh.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: He didn't.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: He's huge, He's a big man. But I've gone he
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: probably shot.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: I went the Rabbits to be honest, Yeah, I just
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: think their performance last week was awful and a Wayne
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: team usually after the way they've started, like you can
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: see what they got not not very often do they
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: do back to back performances like that.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And who's out for for the Cowboys lost? Murray obviously,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Didn's injured, Clifford. Clifford's got Clifford's got some points. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: reckon because he could have been picked so I could have.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going Cowboys in this game. I just think, yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know, so Sydney.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Just after the game last week. It's hard to pick them.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: It is hard to pick them. That's why I'm on Cowboys. Yeah.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, going back there for the theory of Wayne, he'll
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: get him up.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: All right, let's put together a multi sting.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: He made his debut for the Cowboys. He played well,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: and he and he and he did his job. And
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people thought that with Tommy
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: did and out, the Boys would suck.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: But that was still pretty damn good.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Well what do we say? We said, all he needs
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: to do is get the ball to the players that
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: need the ball. And did he do that?
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's yeah we need to do when
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: you're doing that, you know, but it's a it's hard
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so good on him.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Multi we all pick a player if you've this the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: first time on the podcast, we all pick a player
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: we put into a multi comment from any game across
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the weekend with one once. But you know it's time
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to lift. This is it, this is our time. I'm
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: going far long for the storm.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: You know any other players learnt how to say? One guy?
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: You three?
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: I think Key every time back into the history of this,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: I think he's picked three players and.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Every time I picked for Longo, he's done it.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: He isn't.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah he has.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, I'm going Leslie toss.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You have to do that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I was in that game.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I was going to pick a wing. I love game.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Now, okay, I'm going to go.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I don't worry about Cara man Like. He's been playing well.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: I was a left winger, but I don't like having
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: the same wings in the same game, especially when you
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: go double.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. The chances of a double and a single.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to win.
