- 0:26Speaker 2: But we don't have Sammy Thriday with us now, I
- 0:28Speaker 2: under SAand Bruce has tried to work his magic and
- 0:31Speaker 2: we have because he might be on a plane, I
- 0:33Speaker 2: think Sammy, So we've got to tell us an AI
- 0:36Speaker 2: version of Sammy.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Ao, Sam Cory, it is me Sam Friday,
- 0:42Speaker 1: Brisbane Broncos Legend, Queensland Icon. Mae, why are you're not here?
- 0:47Speaker 1: Extremely busy man, too important for regular podcast attendance And
- 0:51Speaker 1: do you feel bad at all for not being here?
- 0:53Speaker 1: For letting us down? Sam does feel bad for approximately
- 0:57Speaker 1: four seconds. Then someone recognized him at a cafe and
- 1:01Speaker 1: he recovered.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I've got a feeling that we don't have to stressed
- 1:05Speaker 2: too much about AI replacing our jobs. You know, I
- 1:09Speaker 2: was a little concerned when they just don't worry about
- 1:11Speaker 2: Sammy not being here.
- 1:12Speaker 1: We'll use AI. Sam. Yeah, it wasn't the same.
- 1:16Speaker 3: No, just just his presence, yeah, his musk's yeah, he's yeah.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Just him being here completely Does it complete you? Yeah?
- 1:28Speaker 3: He completes it completes the room. Does it feels empty
- 1:32Speaker 3: without him in here?
- 1:32Speaker 2: It does?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Well, there's definitely a lot more space. If you don't
- 1:39Speaker 1: just got big shoulders, you know does if.
- 1:41Speaker 2: You don't follow the Shared, do that wherever you get
- 1:44Speaker 2: your podcasts and send us a screenshot so we can
- 1:46Speaker 2: put you in the drawer for the meat tray.
- 1:48Speaker 1: We're going to draw that at the end of the show.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Great meat too from meats beautiful cut. Yeah, do you
- 1:55Speaker 2: actually introduce them to the Shared.
- 1:57Speaker 3: I've had the buy. I'm not going that sounds weird.
- 2:02Speaker 3: I bought his meat for a long time. He's his
- 2:05Speaker 3: meat for a while now. Lots of Yeah, I can't finish.
- 2:10Speaker 1: It's great meat that you are. Well.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's a great variety, wonderful.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Variety of game. Yeah, so great fellow will but yeah, all.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Right, let's get into the tipping for this weekend. So
- 2:24Speaker 2: the first game, and this would be a good one.
- 2:26Speaker 2: We took down the Broncos, took down the Bulldogs, so
- 2:28Speaker 2: they'll be looking to bounce back. And the Cowboys coming
- 2:30Speaker 2: off a win, Yeah, a win where they led in
- 2:33Speaker 2: thirty four point Thirty four points.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Is eighty points in the game. Yeah, dog is off
- 2:36Speaker 3: a loss again. Doggies home game, Dogs home, they win.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I think Doggies win.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Yeah. Sorry for the.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Cows, but I just I don't think they've really been
- 2:45Speaker 3: happy with their performances. And after their performance against the
- 2:49Speaker 3: Panthers they've still got it.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Yeah, so they find that again this weekend.
- 2:53Speaker 3: It's going to be a really good game of footy
- 2:55Speaker 3: for them.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Yeah. The Cows just worrying me with their d it's
- 2:59Speaker 1: not there, you know. And the Dogs. The Dogs, they've
- 3:04Speaker 1: had a.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Few changes, yep, and those guys coming in now they
- 3:07Speaker 3: want to prove a point. So yeah, look I'm looking
- 3:11Speaker 3: for them to have a really big performance this weekend.
- 3:13Speaker 2: I reckon there'll be a lot of points again. Well,
- 3:16Speaker 2: Bulldogs let the Broncos score thirty two on them. Cowboys
- 3:19Speaker 2: let thirty So from the previous round, you reckon there
- 3:22Speaker 2: will be plenty of points. I think this would be
- 3:24Speaker 2: a good one to tip on any time try scorer. Yeah,
- 3:26Speaker 2: there'll be a few points.
- 3:27Speaker 3: I've gone the opposite. I think that the Cows probably
- 3:30Speaker 3: won't score many against the Bulldogs. Interesting, Sammy's tipping the Cowboys.
- 3:36Speaker 3: He's found that one through. Did It's nice for him
- 3:38Speaker 3: to phone through, Thank Sammy. A bit of phone through
- 3:41Speaker 3: now just to chat.
- 3:42Speaker 1: But it's a real it's a coin toss, is it is?
- 3:46Speaker 1: It is the dogs.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going I'll go the dogs. Yep, I'll dike
- 3:51Speaker 2: the dogs as well my kids. It'll be class all right.
- 3:53Speaker 2: So and by the way, no Friday, no Thursday night footy.
- 3:58Speaker 2: This week women's we've got the women's NRL Origin Origin.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Yeah, game one baby, come on New South Wales. Solid
- 4:05Speaker 1: favorites for that always are on Thursday night. They're always
- 4:08Speaker 1: favorites thirty or something like that. Yeah, and they'd still lose. Yeah,
- 4:13Speaker 1: that's a good punt to get on Queensland.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes depends if they can string it together. That's
- 4:18Speaker 3: the biggest issue for NIS and it has been their
- 4:21Speaker 3: whole existence. They've got the play together as a team
- 4:25Speaker 3: and do it for the whole eighty Yeah. It's crazy
- 4:28Speaker 3: how it works. It's in the men's end and the
- 4:30Speaker 3: women's Yeah.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:33Speaker 3: And look, Queenslanders show up over crack and if they
- 4:37Speaker 3: know if they play their footy, they're always in with
- 4:39Speaker 3: a shot. So it's going to be a good game
- 4:41Speaker 3: of footy that I'll give the women credit. The game's growing,
- 4:45Speaker 3: it's getting quicker. They're bringing the excitement every years, building the.
- 4:50Speaker 2: School level skill level without having a crack at AFL
- 4:54Speaker 2: women's but the school level in the women's NRL is
- 4:58Speaker 2: a step above. I think maybe because of touch footy. Yeah, yeah,
- 5:01Speaker 2: playing the girls have been playing touch for a long time.
- 5:03Speaker 2: They've got those skills already.
- 5:05Speaker 1: It's growing.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Like when they started the Girls, it was you know,
- 5:09Speaker 3: it was it wasn't the greatest watch, but honestly, I
- 5:12Speaker 3: give them a massive credit.
- 5:13Speaker 1: They've they've worked really hard.
- 5:16Speaker 4: And it's it's it's good to watch some of the petitioning,
- 5:19Speaker 4: the precision kicks, like when they're working hard in credit
- 5:22Speaker 4: and you can tell you the defense, the impact, the speed.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Yeah, like you said, the kicking, it's all improved. Yea.
- 5:30Speaker 3: And yeah, it's you know, I can't wait to see
- 5:33Speaker 3: whether whether their game will go in five more years.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Now there's a second Friday night game. This would be
- 5:39Speaker 2: another really interesting game. We've got the Dolphins taking on
- 5:42Speaker 2: the Storm. So Dolphins just lost to the Warriors.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Storm. Did Storm had a bad loss again? Yeah?
- 5:48Speaker 2: Only put on six points.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's yeah, like I said, it's that confidence
- 5:53Speaker 3: and belief and it's you don't lose trust, but you
- 5:57Speaker 3: just every time something bad starts to happen where when
- 6:01Speaker 3: you're playing, well, a small thing wouldn't be a big thing. Yeah,
- 6:04Speaker 3: you know you wouldn't. You wouldn't feel down and you
- 6:06Speaker 3: wouldn't do that big gasp and go go for God
- 6:10Speaker 3: say like, you wouldn't do that, whereas I feel now,
- 6:14Speaker 3: it's the frustration. It's you just want to win, you
- 6:17Speaker 3: know you can, but then a small thing happens and
- 6:19Speaker 3: it just it's hard to not go.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Come on, like, why I.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Keep remembering the players that they've lost in this last year.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Eli Kata obviously that's a big, massive, huge it must
- 6:32Speaker 2: be top three, best second roller number one.
- 6:35Speaker 3: He's the best back rower in the game, it has
- 6:38Speaker 3: been for a few years. He is also the footprint
- 6:42Speaker 3: of their footy. Yeah yeah, he is such a tris
- 6:48Speaker 3: massive defense players set up kick Chase Competer.
- 6:52Speaker 1: He's a huge out.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Then they've lost two years, well the props, three props,
- 6:57Speaker 2: Nelson's Gone's gone on the boxing and so they lost
- 7:00Speaker 2: some big forwards.
- 7:00Speaker 1: But no, they've they've they've lost him the key middle. Yeah,
- 7:05Speaker 1: well there's it's a massive change. That's three red players
- 7:07Speaker 1: right there. You know, when you lose your.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Go for, when you lose your size, when you lose
- 7:11Speaker 3: your you know that idea of your you know, your
- 7:14Speaker 3: your footprint, like you lose that.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Like it's hard.
- 7:18Speaker 3: And they've got great players to fill those spots and positions,
- 7:21Speaker 3: and they have played still great footed. But when you
- 7:25Speaker 3: when you're stuck like this, you know, when you when
- 7:27Speaker 3: you don't have those three in Yeah, it's even harder.
- 7:30Speaker 1: The old experienced heads playing. Yeah, sometimes just going through
- 7:34Speaker 1: the guts is what the what what you do? Yeah?
- 7:36Speaker 1: And having those guys going.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Playing simple you know they do simple well, those guys.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well that's that's their game. So I've gone
- 7:44Speaker 3: the Dolphins again. Yea for my reason. I just until
- 7:48Speaker 3: I see them back to who they are, I can't
- 7:51Speaker 3: pick them.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I really can't. I'm going to go Dolphins as well.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So Sammy has he Yeah, oh you listen to me
- 7:57Speaker 1: this this week? Okay, I like he's actually got more smarter.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, either of those teams make
- 8:06Speaker 2: the eight Dolphins Storm Dolphins?
- 8:11Speaker 1: Yeah. If Storm don't get it right this week, it's hard. Yeah.
- 8:16Speaker 3: I think they've only got four more losses up their
- 8:19Speaker 3: sleeve for the rest of the year until it's impossible
- 8:21Speaker 3: to make the eight. Okay, going off recent results, Yeah,
- 8:24Speaker 3: four or five, it's yeah, and they've you know their
- 8:29Speaker 3: their they're run home is tough. Well the rest of
- 8:32Speaker 3: they got really hard origin period back in the Yeah,
- 8:36Speaker 3: it's going to be hard for Melbourne. It's going to
- 8:38Speaker 3: be you know, not as not as hard for Dolphins,
- 8:42Speaker 3: but they need to they need to start winning also,
- 8:44Speaker 3: so that's why his game has been really important for both.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think the the loser of this
- 8:49Speaker 2: game won't make the eight.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Probably. Yeah, that's a probably good way to put.
- 8:52Speaker 2: It onto Saturday, first of the Saturday games, This would
- 8:55Speaker 2: be interesting too. So the Titans have taken on the Raiders.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Raiders are coming off a loss. What happened the Titans?
- 9:01Speaker 2: Were they to buy last?
- 9:02Speaker 1: Yeah? So they won't. Yeah, they coming off a win,
- 9:04Speaker 1: back to back wins. Hopefully I picked them. Yeah, you
- 9:07Speaker 1: go like Titans. Yeah, I think Raiders are similar to
- 9:11Speaker 1: the Storm where they just can't find it. They just
- 9:16Speaker 1: they're struggling to find those wins back to back and
- 9:19Speaker 1: that consistent form.
- 9:21Speaker 3: They're not they're not playing bad footy. But yeah, I
- 9:25Speaker 3: love backing the Titans at home.
- 9:27Speaker 1: What about after a buy does that mean anything that
- 9:29Speaker 1: they or usually it's it's you know, it's usually harder
- 9:34Speaker 1: off a buy it's it's hard to say because you're rested.
- 9:38Speaker 3: But the speed of the game now, you know, being
- 9:42Speaker 3: that rugby league fit the game. Fitness is massive in
- 9:45Speaker 3: the game right now, so having to buy you lose
- 9:48Speaker 3: a little bit, just a little bit. Yeah, So if
- 9:51Speaker 3: it's one of those nitty gritty games, the Raiders will
- 9:54Speaker 3: probably win. But I just think because they're coming off
- 9:56Speaker 3: a buye, they will come out fire. And if their
- 9:59Speaker 3: team is full strength, it's a it's a Their team's
- 10:04Speaker 3: good on paper, They've got a good team. They've got
- 10:06Speaker 3: a great attacking team, and they were good leaders in
- 10:08Speaker 3: the middle too, with Tino and and and and and
- 10:12Speaker 3: the other props. They've got like they've got a good team.
- 10:16Speaker 3: They really do. So I reckon. I'm They're going to
- 10:19Speaker 3: play a really good game of footage.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I need to catch up, So I'm going to go
- 10:22Speaker 1: the Raiders in an upset. Is that you'll call that
- 10:25Speaker 1: an upset? Well, I think it is.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I reckon the Titans should I haven't
- 10:30Speaker 2: seen the odds yet, but I reckon Titans will be
- 10:32Speaker 2: favorite for that yeah, Samy's Sam's going on the Titans,
- 10:36Speaker 2: so is he?
- 10:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I like this guys good.
- 10:40Speaker 2: The second of the Saturday games Eels Warriors. That's it's
- 10:46Speaker 2: a home game for Paramatta.
- 10:47Speaker 3: But I wanted it to go Para, I really did.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Yeah. Is that surprising. Yeah, I can't.
- 10:56Speaker 3: I'm sick of saying it. But bloody ell. They're having
- 10:59Speaker 3: a crack. Yeah, trying hard and they're just losing guys
- 11:02Speaker 3: every week. Like yeah, I think they lost Walker. Yeah
- 11:07Speaker 3: on the weekend.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Oh yeah Walker, Yeah, that was That's my reason why
- 11:10Speaker 2: it was a hard hit. He got too from Olokawau.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big hit.
- 11:15Speaker 3: It's Yeah, I haven't gotten them because if Dilawar was
- 11:21Speaker 3: in it, I'd probably haven't given them a go because
- 11:22Speaker 3: at home they played good footy. Yeah, and they're consistently
- 11:25Speaker 3: playing they're having to go yes, but yeah, the Wise
- 11:28Speaker 3: I just think are going to be too good and
- 11:30Speaker 3: they need to start getting serious about the you know,
- 11:33Speaker 3: the rest of the season and they need to be
- 11:35Speaker 3: consistently good.
- 11:36Speaker 1: And I reckon they want to prove a point this week.
- 11:39Speaker 1: We're all on the Wars. I think Samy's on it too.
- 11:42Speaker 2: The last Saturday game Roosters Broncos home game.
- 11:45Speaker 1: This is huge, This is mass.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Broncos put thirty two points on the Bulldog's Roosters put
- 11:54Speaker 2: sixty four points on the Dragons.
- 11:59Speaker 3: Yeah, they weren't tested, no, but the confidence they get
- 12:03Speaker 3: out of that with their attack is scary.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Right.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's going to be a very testing
- 12:10Speaker 3: game of football for the Bronx.
- 12:12Speaker 1: They've got a few ins.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Yeah, Now he's definitely back because he mentions that'll push.
- 12:19Speaker 3: I think he's Amy Wilson will go to back row.
- 12:21Speaker 3: I'm going to I'm going to say he's been good
- 12:23Speaker 3: as I love him. I said this every time, but
- 12:26Speaker 3: I love that bloke. He I want to see him
- 12:28Speaker 3: have the best year of his career and see it
- 12:31Speaker 3: just go after that.
- 12:33Speaker 1: He deserves it and he works hard.
- 12:35Speaker 3: He's fit, he's big, giant, he's skillful, fast, you know
- 12:39Speaker 3: all those things. You want a great forward, you know.
- 12:41Speaker 3: But he's agile, Yes, you for a big guy. So,
- 12:45Speaker 3: and Ricky's playing great. Ricky is playing great.
- 12:48Speaker 1: He's got that issue with his foot, but he's pushing
- 12:50Speaker 1: through which is tough. As you know. They can come.
- 12:53Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm going to the Bronx just you know
- 12:57Speaker 3: with that inclusion. While she maybe maybe Yeah, I don't
- 13:02Speaker 3: think it seems it seems fast.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be three weeks. There's not enough
- 13:07Speaker 1: time for a frash. I don't I don't think he'll
- 13:08Speaker 1: be clear, if you got my honest opinion. Yeah, it's
- 13:12Speaker 1: it's an iic got ended cheek bone, isn't it this time?
- 13:14Speaker 1: Where was just a cheek bone?
- 13:15Speaker 3: I think originally, Okay, I don't see I don't see
- 13:19Speaker 3: him getting cleared.
- 13:20Speaker 1: But you never know. It's just for the posters, like
- 13:23Speaker 1: just let his face heal. Well, you know we've got
- 13:25Speaker 1: the whole year ahead. It's one more week.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Yeah, he's so big in that fracture of healing world.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's so much difference. Yeah. So look, if
- 13:35Speaker 1: he's back, then they're.
- 13:38Speaker 3: A lot more better chance, obviously, But I still think
- 13:40Speaker 3: that that that I still think they'll win. I think
- 13:42Speaker 3: it's a big, tight game of foot. The Rousters don't
- 13:45Speaker 3: play bad at home, well very rarely that they used to,
- 13:49Speaker 3: and I think the confidence last week would be huge.
- 13:52Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a cracking game. Forty
- 13:54Speaker 3: Bronx defense is showing every week, and I think points
- 13:59Speaker 3: will be hard to come.
- 14:00Speaker 1: By in this game. So yeah, low scoring game.
- 14:02Speaker 3: I'm going to say almost lesson thirty Yeah, less than
- 14:06Speaker 3: thirty five points.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Okay, in the whole game.
- 14:08Speaker 2: We lost per curR as well as out for four
- 14:10Speaker 2: weeks by the look of things.
- 14:11Speaker 1: What it is?
- 14:12Speaker 2: Yeah, unusual, not the normal, not the normal, a c
- 14:15Speaker 2: L knee injury something.
- 14:17Speaker 1: It's it's a joint, isn't it.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if I had the similar injury
- 14:24Speaker 3: a long time ago, but if it is it.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Sorgans, if it's the same one, I had it
- 14:30Speaker 1: and it sucks for a long time, like years. How
- 14:32Speaker 1: far away is still feeling it? Now? Do we know?
- 14:34Speaker 1: Far away? Ben hunters from return? What do you do again?
- 14:39Speaker 1: Mc L?
- 14:39Speaker 3: Yeah, well I said he'll be he'd be the good
- 14:42Speaker 3: best of eight weeks, so it could be still.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Foury of time. Yeah, okay, Reno's on fire.
- 14:48Speaker 3: He's justs on fire. I'm still worried. I think he
- 14:51Speaker 3: needs to be on ice this year. I think he
- 14:53Speaker 3: needs his ideos. This week off last week would have been,
- 14:57Speaker 3: but he worked two on. Yeah, two weeks on. That's
- 15:01Speaker 3: a big, that's a big. It's heavy lifting.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of work cloth for a little man.
- 15:06Speaker 1: But it was it was good to give those little
- 15:09Speaker 1: pigtrot as the rest. I am scared. I do get scared.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Like you know, when he plays a full game, you're like,
- 15:16Speaker 2: just get him off.
- 15:17Speaker 3: When he gets an open space, I tend to him, Mate,
- 15:19Speaker 3: just roll, just tuck and roll.
- 15:20Speaker 1: When you're can name a space. Brother, there's no one
- 15:22Speaker 1: around you, just take it. Tackle, don't spread, just fall, kick,
- 15:26Speaker 1: don't run. I'm like, you reckon. He should just crash bandicoot.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Just drop and roll and go go gay. But yeah,
- 15:36Speaker 3: it would be nice to see Da this week. But
- 15:38Speaker 3: I believe he's he's going to push through.
- 15:40Speaker 1: We need him.
- 15:41Speaker 3: He's playing great foot. Yeah, you can't not have him
- 15:44Speaker 3: tim in the Bronx.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Yes, onto Sunday, the first there's three Sunday games because
- 15:49Speaker 2: of the no Thursday night foot a week a. Yeah,
- 15:53Speaker 2: so first one man's night's taking on the rabbits all day,
- 15:57Speaker 2: all day Sunday. Rabbits are going great, Rabbit nights nights
- 16:01Speaker 2: taking rabbits. Yep, it's a night home game. Palmer is back.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Yeah, so I love watching him those first few games. Jeez,
- 16:10Speaker 3: you look good. Yeah, so I hope it looks just
- 16:13Speaker 3: as good this weekend. Yeah, and if he is, I'm
- 16:16Speaker 3: picking them.
- 16:17Speaker 2: They got they got done by the Panthers, but pretty
- 16:19Speaker 2: like forty four.
- 16:20Speaker 1: They just played bad, like I don't think they put
- 16:22Speaker 1: in anything else. It was errors, errors and errors and errors.
- 16:25Speaker 3: They gave Panthers eighty three percent possession in the first
- 16:29Speaker 3: twenty minutes.
- 16:30Speaker 1: I believe it was the stat that I've seen, and
- 16:32Speaker 1: it's put on all those tricks. Yeah. Yeah, and you
- 16:35Speaker 1: can't bring that back against Panthers. Way. But the Rabbit
- 16:39Speaker 1: Rabbits are playing great. No, I'm not dissing the Rabbits
- 16:42Speaker 1: at all.
- 16:42Speaker 3: It's this is just a pig based on I hope
- 16:45Speaker 3: they find their form again the.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Knights, you know, with those boys back.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Now Brown's back for a few games, Pot doesn't normally
- 16:51Speaker 3: let need a few normally, just get straight back into it. Yeah,
- 16:55Speaker 3: you know, and their team is the same. So the
- 17:00Speaker 3: confidence having him back with the combinations is is bigger.
- 17:05Speaker 3: And you know some players just coming back, you know,
- 17:08Speaker 3: multiple players coming back at once. Yeah, poler in your team. Yeah,
- 17:12Speaker 3: is a team that is a chance of winning. Okay,
- 17:14Speaker 3: is that good? So you get to tip them? Oh yeah, yep.
- 17:17Speaker 3: All right, you're the only one and Sammy are going Rabbits.
- 17:19Speaker 1: That's good. That's the point to me.
- 17:22Speaker 3: Look, I won't take it away from Rabit as Rabbits are
- 17:24Speaker 3: playing good footy and their form is the troll Mitchell like, wow, yeah,
- 17:30Speaker 3: he's roll on a back. You must be in a
- 17:32Speaker 3: great space with everything. Yeah, he's playing some crack and
- 17:35Speaker 3: footy and I haven't seen it for a while, but
- 17:37Speaker 3: it's good to see.
- 17:38Speaker 1: And they keep playing like this. They're they're they're showing
- 17:41Speaker 1: everyone that they are real hot chance this year.
- 17:44Speaker 2: And as far as picking any time try scorers, I mean,
- 17:46Speaker 2: you can just pick Alex Johnson every week, although well
- 17:50Speaker 2: this week again for some reason we don't know, but.
- 17:52Speaker 3: This weekend it's hard like there's a lot of speeds
- 17:54Speaker 3: is in the nights team, Yeah, usually there's some people
- 17:57Speaker 3: that can't run him down, whereas yeah, a lot of
- 17:59Speaker 3: speeds is this week in the nights.
- 18:00Speaker 1: We'll get we'll get to our multi bit. We'll get
- 18:02Speaker 1: that later shortly.
- 18:03Speaker 2: But the second game is on Sundays, Sharks taken on
- 18:07Speaker 2: the West Tigers. Sharks had a loss Tigers.
- 18:12Speaker 1: What happened to the Tigers on the weekend they won
- 18:14Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, Yeah, Tigers had a good wind, a
- 18:17Speaker 1: great win. They played awesome. Yeah Sharks.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Sharks had scored thirty four points and still lost Cowboys,
- 18:23Speaker 2: So they did that a lot.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Shark's home game.
- 18:26Speaker 3: They're Tigers, Tigers, Yeah, I look their confidence from last
- 18:30Speaker 3: week this week should be huge. Winning that game, you know,
- 18:35Speaker 3: and having a less play for a little bit.
- 18:37Speaker 1: You know.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Yes, they let some points back in, but their their
- 18:41Speaker 3: form is hard to go past. Ye, they're there forward
- 18:46Speaker 3: pack every week is just showing up doing the job.
- 18:51Speaker 1: And the backs they're bactually, like some their backs have.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Got to be up there with some of the best
- 18:55Speaker 3: getting out like in the in the game with their
- 18:58Speaker 3: starting set's like getting outsets, they're just rolling them and
- 19:02Speaker 3: they're shifting the ball.
- 19:03Speaker 1: That I love watching them play. Yeah, an happy chorus
- 19:06Speaker 1: our like he's playing some great ageless he's got another
- 19:10Speaker 1: teen years. Yeah, and that's.
- 19:12Speaker 3: What That's a sign of a team that loves what
- 19:14Speaker 3: they're doing, playing for each other and having fun.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is a scary thing to see. So
- 19:19Speaker 1: that's one big I think the Sharks. I think the
- 19:22Speaker 1: Sharks at home.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Sammy likes you though, is going for the Tigers, and
- 19:26Speaker 2: then there's three games on Sunday. So the third one
- 19:29Speaker 2: is this will be a great game. This is probably
- 19:31Speaker 2: the game of the round, Panthers taking on the Seagulls
- 19:33Speaker 2: in Penrith. Seagulls are just on a roll. Panthers are
- 19:39Speaker 2: looking fantastic again.
- 19:41Speaker 1: They look great again. Last week. They put on forty
- 19:44Speaker 1: four points, So I think what mainly done well? Though?
- 19:47Speaker 1: Is there actually complete in sets? Yeah? A lot. I
- 19:50Speaker 1: think they're completion rate last week. I could be wrong.
- 19:53Speaker 1: I'm probably way off, but I thought I remember seeing
- 19:55Speaker 1: it at you know, in the mid to high eighties, right,
- 19:58Speaker 1: which they do that against the Panthers team and they're
- 20:01Speaker 1: not giving them easy and cheap possessions. So I'm going mainly.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Well, so is a Sammy Samy's going Manly as well.
- 20:10Speaker 2: I think the Panthers. I think the Panthers will win this.
- 20:12Speaker 2: And here's my prediction. If Manly win it, I think
- 20:16Speaker 2: Karen Foran will get the job. I think I think
- 20:19Speaker 2: it will be enough if Manly this.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Is a game to go off. Yeah, does he want it?
- 20:23Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't reckon he want it, But.
- 20:27Speaker 3: There's a lot more than just I don't know. It's
- 20:31Speaker 3: a it's not an easy job. No, I'd hate to
- 20:34Speaker 3: be a head coach. He looks like he's doing it
- 20:35Speaker 3: easy though. Yeah, but it's all the other stuff, the
- 20:38Speaker 3: preseason and yeah and all that and yeah, look, I
- 20:43Speaker 3: hope he does do it because he's doing a cracking
- 20:45Speaker 3: job and he's you know, he's got the site, like
- 20:48Speaker 3: the heart Manly, you know, comp there and all of
- 20:53Speaker 3: it is what you want. And I feel like that's
- 20:55Speaker 3: the difference between some coaches is when he speaks, I
- 20:59Speaker 3: know he's been through it and done it. There's that
- 21:03Speaker 3: sort of fact that I think plays plays a role
- 21:05Speaker 3: in being a coach sometimes. Yeah, you know, if a
- 21:07Speaker 3: team is struggling or needs that, so come from him.
- 21:11Speaker 3: I feel like they're playing also for Manly, but for him,
- 21:14Speaker 3: they're playing for cur and because you want your players
- 21:17Speaker 3: to play for you. Yeah, and he's kind of got
- 21:20Speaker 3: the yeah, the runs on the board with aspects. Yeah,
- 21:24Speaker 3: so yeah, you know, if he wants to be a
- 21:26Speaker 3: head coach, I think he'd be a great one if
- 21:28Speaker 3: he gets the right people around him, and that's as important,
- 21:32Speaker 3: and they seem to have the right people and I'm
- 21:34Speaker 3: hoping that if they do win, they offer him a job.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Yeah, surely, I mean you would think, what does he want?
- 21:40Speaker 3: Five?
- 21:40Speaker 1: He's turned it around four five, I think it's five.
- 21:43Speaker 1: It's up there. Yeah, it's one of its. It's better
- 21:45Speaker 1: not to add absolutely I didn't win.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Ye, all right, So we'll get to the to the
- 21:52Speaker 2: multi bit multi We always put a multi bed with
- 21:55Speaker 2: three anytime try scorer. So Sammy's he likes Sell and Cobbo. Okay,
- 22:00Speaker 2: I guess Melbourne, that's a bubble play. But if it's
- 22:06Speaker 2: a game, they don't, they're no chance. I'm going I'm
- 22:11Speaker 2: going to do what's logical.
- 22:12Speaker 1: I'm going the wires. I'm going that back row. What's
- 22:14Speaker 1: his name, Lucky like Yeah, yeah, he's good like that.
- 22:21Speaker 1: I'm going to go with logical and just put Alex
- 22:23Speaker 1: Johnson for the what's going to pay a dollar too
- 22:26Speaker 1: to lose money? He plays the score. You put on a
- 22:29Speaker 1: hundred bucks on, you lose it a dollar straight?
- 22:31Speaker 2: You want to you want to put him in? Should
- 22:33Speaker 2: we put him in for a double then no, that's okay, Yeah,
- 22:36Speaker 2: let's just be we haven't been close to winning yet.
- 22:40Speaker 2: I'd like I will pay about three bucks.
- 22:43Speaker 1: He's got to be a two twenty dollars Cobo be
- 22:49Speaker 1: four bucks like he played. He's been playing good footy, Cob,
- 22:52Speaker 1: but not scoring a lot. But he started scoring. Yeah,
- 22:55Speaker 1: I didn't score the first few round. Yeah. Okay, Well
- 22:57Speaker 1: this will be the Dolphins getting better, so I think
- 22:59Speaker 1: that helps with that. They're getting more confident.
- 23:02Speaker 2: So another question before we but the the Dragons. They've
- 23:09Speaker 2: got to buy this weekend, so they're finally going to
- 23:12Speaker 2: have a win. What other games are they going to
- 23:15Speaker 2: win this year? I've got I've got the I've got
- 23:20Speaker 2: the draws.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Go through.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Where else going to play? So they've got their next
- 23:24Speaker 2: game will be the Knights. No, then they've got the
- 23:28Speaker 2: Panthers in Penrith. No, then they've got the Warriors at home.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Then they got the Broncos here, then they got the Sharks. Okay,
- 23:37Speaker 2: then they've got another buy.
- 23:38Speaker 1: That's a win. That's a win.
- 23:39Speaker 2: So then the Knights again, Raiders, Tigers, Warriors, no Titans
- 23:49Speaker 2: if they've got the team, no, okay, but the full
- 23:51Speaker 2: team like that the injuries but no, uh, Dolphins at
- 23:56Speaker 2: home for no Sharks, No, no Tigers.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Well do they playny Origin around Origin? What teams are
- 24:08Speaker 1: It's hard to work out that timing on this. We'll
- 24:10Speaker 1: go go go end of May.
- 24:14Speaker 3: So round twelve, Round twelve thirteen ish, Well they'll be dongs.
- 24:21Speaker 1: That'll be the Broncos. Yeah. Here it's a yes, some
- 24:25Speaker 1: car game. Oh I think that's their best chance. Well
- 24:29Speaker 1: it's no. Well we're going to lose heaps. Round twelve's Warriors,
- 24:33Speaker 1: so they.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Goes through to the team. We could lose six to
- 24:36Speaker 3: seven players. Six players, although they've been doing that anyway. Yeah,
- 24:40Speaker 3: so no, no, okay, garon back.
- 24:43Speaker 1: So round twenty three Sharks, No, No, Tigers, Bulldogs, no Seagulls.
- 24:50Speaker 1: They got to run, haven't they. Oh?
- 24:55Speaker 3: Oh, look, I want to see him win. It's not
- 24:58Speaker 3: a good sight to see a team not win. Round
- 25:00Speaker 3: twenty seven is their best chance. I think it's the Eels.
- 25:02Speaker 3: Oh time game?
- 25:04Speaker 1: Can they win that one? Can? Can your pencil down
- 25:06Speaker 1: for one? No? No, look, it's they just kind of yeah,
- 25:13Speaker 1: who I haven't seen glimpses, is what I'm saying.
- 25:16Speaker 2: There anyone coming back if I've got injuries or any
- 25:18Speaker 2: reason they've got anyone that's coming back.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Is there any type of light at the end of
- 25:23Speaker 1: the tunnel for the dragon? I feel like the weekend
- 25:26Speaker 1: was just bad.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Like I think that's that showed me that they they
- 25:33Speaker 3: don't they don't care, which you don't want to say
- 25:36Speaker 3: for any team, but it's like they it was bad.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Yeah, oh it was.
- 25:43Speaker 3: It was bad, But they've got it's I can't you
- 25:50Speaker 3: want to see him win. You don't want to see
- 25:52Speaker 3: a club or a team goes, especially the history for
- 25:54Speaker 3: that club.
- 25:55Speaker 1: To go through a whole year, the whole year, you know, Yeah,
- 26:00Speaker 1: well that would be a record, wouldn't It wouldn't it's
- 26:02Speaker 1: never happened, happened. I want to see him win these
- 26:05Speaker 1: three games this year. But where they come those wins
- 26:08Speaker 1: come from it? I really can't.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Tell you best chances around Origin, Around Origin, you know,
- 26:16Speaker 2: maybe the Eels, yeah, because every team there Verse and actually.
- 26:22Speaker 1: You can't say that they've played a horrible game of
- 26:24Speaker 1: foot yet.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Maybe the Titans, if they catch the Titans off, Yeah,
- 26:29Speaker 3: you know, if the Titans are fire and they're going
- 26:31Speaker 3: to be hard to.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Be Yeah, they don't get the Titans around later, if
- 26:35Speaker 2: they've got them around Origin.
- 26:37Speaker 1: By then, they'll be pretty pretty low. Yeah. Yeah, I
- 26:42Speaker 1: don't want to see them go with the whole year.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I really don't.
- 26:44Speaker 3: I hope they can find something and win, but I
- 26:48Speaker 3: can't say where.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Another thing I'm hearing a lot about is the speed
- 26:53Speaker 2: of the game and the new six again rule.
- 26:55Speaker 1: I know there's a bugbear for you. I'm over it.
- 26:59Speaker 3: If I found it harder to watch footy on the weekend,
- 27:02Speaker 3: too fast, just and Zach around for me is around.
- 27:08Speaker 3: I loved I loved it. This might sound stupid or
- 27:12Speaker 3: weird here, but I loved the impact. I loved the hits,
- 27:15Speaker 3: the hits. I loved hitting the ball if I got
- 27:18Speaker 3: the kick off a lot, which annoyed the shit out
- 27:20Speaker 3: of me. But and I'm like, you know what stuff
- 27:22Speaker 3: for this?
- 27:22Speaker 1: Is that around?
- 27:23Speaker 3: I'm going I know I'm getting hit. It's gonna Yeah,
- 27:28Speaker 3: I didn't see that. Like, And I'm not saying hits
- 27:30Speaker 3: in the head. No, I'm not saying. I'm not saying
- 27:33Speaker 3: change the concussion rule. I'm not saying had ice, I'm
- 27:37Speaker 3: not saying that. Yeah, just saying those great footy hits
- 27:41Speaker 3: had one Dylan Walker that hit from all Kauhatu.
- 27:44Speaker 1: But then they get penalized. I don't think he did.
- 27:46Speaker 1: I think it was legal. No he didn't. Yeah, there
- 27:49Speaker 1: you go. There's one. It was one every thirty minutes, yeah, yeah,
- 27:53Speaker 1: or at least a couple of games. Yeah, No, easily.
- 27:55Speaker 1: I remember getting at least six. Yeah, and again yeah,
- 27:57Speaker 1: I probably didn't help myself. You know. I don't know
- 28:00Speaker 1: if you feel that.
- 28:01Speaker 3: But I feel they've just taken that away, you know,
- 28:04Speaker 3: exhaust running back. The game's too quick, and I think
- 28:07Speaker 3: the injuries are going to showing this. Players getting injured
- 28:11Speaker 3: and whether that's fatigue in their in their in their bodies,
- 28:16Speaker 3: you know, your your your joints and and and all
- 28:19Speaker 3: the soft tissue or you know, hamstrings and all under
- 28:22Speaker 3: too much fatigue and pressure and you're pushing through that
- 28:26Speaker 3: can cause them to tear like that, you know, being
- 28:31Speaker 3: tired and that lazy tackle you know, or you just
- 28:36Speaker 3: it's it's all of those things that come into factor,
- 28:39Speaker 3: you know, when there's too much fatigue in the game
- 28:41Speaker 3: and I feel like it's just too far.
- 28:46Speaker 1: So what's gone too far?
- 28:47Speaker 2: So I don't know, And I'll stop with the six
- 28:49Speaker 2: again and just blow a penalty.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Well then that they'll win just too slow, right, I
- 28:55Speaker 3: just maybe the rule around the six again, like why
- 29:00Speaker 3: they give them?
- 29:01Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't know if.
- 29:03Speaker 3: They NAVI gave those for a penalty back in the day,
- 29:05Speaker 3: so don't give it a six again.
- 29:07Speaker 1: You know what it means if you're in the crowd
- 29:09Speaker 1: and you hear that you have no idea, watching on.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Live TV and it's closer, I'm like, what where?
- 29:15Speaker 1: Whoy? Yeah?
- 29:16Speaker 3: Why was that a tackle? Because they're like, it's slowing
- 29:19Speaker 3: the game around too much? Am I? But they they're
- 29:22Speaker 3: trying to take out the wrestler, right, yeah, the wrestling.
- 29:24Speaker 3: But that was controlled tackling. Yeah, so now that remember
- 29:28Speaker 3: I was saw into one of the boys, and now
- 29:29Speaker 3: they're trying to focus on catching players more as in
- 29:33Speaker 3: to find a way to slow it down.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but a legal way, a legal way
- 29:39Speaker 1: to do it, like you know what I mean. So
- 29:41Speaker 1: then you get you're taking away the hits, You're taking
- 29:43Speaker 1: away the impact.
- 29:44Speaker 3: That's what AL is known for. And it's not about
- 29:47Speaker 3: being these tough, big our bodies like we train them
- 29:53Speaker 3: to take those hits, right, you train them like you
- 29:56Speaker 3: train them to get to be used to all that.
- 29:58Speaker 3: If you didn't, you'd be bloody saw it and break
- 30:01Speaker 3: a lot of things.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Oh it's yeah, what do you do?
- 30:06Speaker 1: Then you I don't know, six agains and then a penalty.
- 30:09Speaker 3: I don't know where they've gone so far wrong, whether
- 30:13Speaker 3: it's the six agains or if it's the rules within
- 30:15Speaker 3: the six agains, right, like what we don't see too
- 30:19Speaker 3: quick to just.
- 30:20Speaker 1: A rule of a yeah, okay, Like if it's a.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Fifty, you know, if it's one of those ones where
- 30:24Speaker 3: it's like why is he doing it?
- 30:25Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just yeah, yeah, subdorn it right,
- 30:29Speaker 1: just let it go because they wouldn't have penalize some
- 30:32Speaker 1: of the stuff. So if it wasn't a penalty, don't
- 30:35Speaker 1: make it a six again. Don't make it a six
- 30:37Speaker 1: again because I'm trying to see stuff where yeah, you know,
- 30:41Speaker 1: or if it's a messy playable, who cares?
- 30:43Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just ty Yeah, the crowd don't care about it.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Too fatigued. Yeah, to have a perfect playable and at
- 30:50Speaker 1: tackle all.
- 30:50Speaker 2: The time, like definitely, you'd have to think it's taking
- 30:52Speaker 2: the big boppers out of the game too, and big
- 30:54Speaker 2: fellas can't possably have that type of aerobic fitness and
- 30:58Speaker 2: you lose some of those huge characters that we saw
- 31:00Speaker 2: back in the day. It's two kies and all those
- 31:03Speaker 2: they can't play anymore.
- 31:05Speaker 3: It's taken some of the competitive competitiveness out, the competitives
- 31:08Speaker 3: out of the game. I feel like that, like you
- 31:11Speaker 3: semi thighter and hard Graves remember that?
- 31:14Speaker 1: Yeah, do you remember that? You won't see that? Yeah,
- 31:19Speaker 1: games where they just attack each other for.
- 31:21Speaker 3: Game, I'll never forget it because that was one of
- 31:22Speaker 3: the best rivalries I've ever seen that.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it was him, those two the whole game.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Yeah, going at it, Jesezu. It was good to see.
- 31:29Speaker 3: And no one got injured.
- 31:31Speaker 1: No, there was no really legal stuff, like really really legal,
- 31:36Speaker 1: some fringe or some hit, you know, there was something.
- 31:38Speaker 1: But like, yeah, that's what I don't want to lose
- 31:41Speaker 1: in our game. Yeah is that?
- 31:43Speaker 3: And I'm a bit worried that it might get there
- 31:47Speaker 3: and the way the way it's going on, Yeah, because
- 31:49Speaker 3: I hear the players, it feels like a game of
- 31:50Speaker 3: touch footy. Yeah, that's how quick it is. Yeah, okay,
- 31:54Speaker 3: you know the game the score is a blowouts.
- 31:57Speaker 1: It is proven.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Yes, yeah that's huge. I mean like you're getting eighty
- 32:01Speaker 2: point games all this stuff.
- 32:02Speaker 3: It's ready to get a game now, and two good
- 32:04Speaker 3: teams under under thirty five points under you under those
