Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome into the Mad Monday Podcast, brought to you as
always by four and twenty Pile. It's the perfect at
home snack for watching rugby League Minia and die with
you for your Monday die Just on the four and
twenty pie the Traveler pie. I know you love it.
I love it too. Have you ever seen someone eat
it with a knife and fork before? Now?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I look, I have seen someone need a pie with
a knife and fork. The only pie I'll give you
to eat with a knife and fork is if you're
actually in a pub having a proper pub.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Pie and you get a slice.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, or it comes in a sort of big rammikan
with a lid on it, so you have to pot pie.
But if you're getting a pie that you'd either get
at the footy a servo or it's an on the
go pie. And the Traveler is one literally made to
hold in your hand in one head. Don't tell me
someone we know has been eating a pie a knife
and for.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Casey on Saturday night was tucking into one with a
knife and fork. He said it was a little too
hot for him and so he had to roll the
knife and fork. He was appropriately torn to shreds on
the text machine for his efforts as well.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Look, I mean Keysy someone who loves the banter.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We all know that. But oh it was just he
loves the burgers too. Down there, down there at the mount.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I thought I thought, I thought he was just a
key we guy. He's into cars. Yeah, he's into the
Red Fox Steven. He better not be caught dead in
the Red Fox Steven eating him four and twenty with
a fork and a knife and fork. He was cutting out,
giving it a.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Bit, yeah, and there was a there's a video of
him trying to do it on the thing, but because
it was ear fried to within an inch of its life,
he couldn't cut through because it was quite crusty. But
again it's designed to hold together in your hand. So
he's trying to cut it in the and he goes
to pick it up, it just drops off the end
of his fork. The videos on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So the answer, keasy is if your pie's too hot.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
This is what we use.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
When I was at primary school, once a week you
could order a pie, right.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, write your name on the envelope.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It always came so hot, so you'd take the top off,
put the sauce inside, put the lid back on and
the source cooled it. Yeah, that's that's there's a lot
of option. You don't have to go straight for the
knife and for if it's too hot your hand, you
can put bread on either side. That's where the pie
sandwich came from. You can blow on it, of course,
(02:33):
like the famous ad, you know that's say for communities together.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Say for communities together. That pie has been in the
pie warmers since eight o'clock this morning. It's thermonuclet. You
must always blow on the pie. You could just wait.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I reckon that that police officer did more for the
reputation of the police in New Zealand than any police
officer in the street.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Is one hundred per I couldn't think of maybe the
good aftable constinent officer. Although he was just there when
it happened. He did next year. He didn't have a
great line, No, he was just there. Yeah, I think
he would. But yeah, there's no threat. We're dancing.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We're dancing around the sadness here in the n Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The sadness is thirty eight to twenty four. The Warriors
lose again. That is sixteen straight against the storm fifteen years.
That we haven't beaten them. I think it was yeah,
two thousand and nine. Last time we beat the Storm,
they are top of the table. And before we get
too deep into the chat, I would say before this game,
if you told me the score was going to be
thirty eight twenty four, I would have said, that probably
(03:34):
sounds about right, don't you think. But it's probably the
way that it happened that was alertle bit disappointing. Yeah,
like thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So if I just saw the score thirty eight twenty four,
I'd think Storm got out to a lead and then
we hunted them down, but we didn't have enough time
to get it back. So this morning I did like,
I've done my watch, I've done my watch, and I
just watched.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The game through stats.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The stats don't tell the don't tell a thirty eight
twenty four store. No, we had fifty four percent of
the possession, Yeah, an eighty two percent completion rate to
their seventy six percent. We had more completed sets, we
had more total sets, We had three hundred more run.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Meters three hundred. We had eleven to six off loads.
So the only stat they beat us in it was
this was try points. Yeah, and I have to say.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
As a Warriors fan who has a heavy amount of PTSD,
I was so stressed out when we got out to
that early lead. You know that twenty we had twenty
beautiful minutes of play. Granted we probably should have scored
another try in that in that time where you know,
(05:01):
after twelve minutes, the Storm hadn't touched them, had a
full set. After twenty minutes we had been they hadn't
been into our half, and then they just do what
the bloody Storm do.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Couple of opportunistsic trys. I thought that, like you said,
the start was excellent. Adam Pombi scoring that try, the
chance back door flick outrageous.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So that seals the deal right on chance. Before you
know the game, Chance had in the hearts. Everyone was saying,
is he a ballplayer? He doesn't really, you know, he's
another silky hands ballplayer. He showed he as a great
passer in that that back door flip pass was on
(05:44):
the money, It was under pressure, it was amazing, it
was sick. I mean, I'd give him a pass because
he's a key.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
We Jerom Hughes owned that game. He destroyed us, and
I was saying that my Keysy to success before the
aim was Jerome Hughes and Elikator. We need to shut
both of them down. They play so well together. You're right.
Jerome Hughes killed us his combination with Ali Kata, who
just took out in Pompy's lollies for that try where
they kicked Pompy went up, caught it and then kut
(06:17):
went main catch bro give us that book and then
scored a try. He is a player who.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Would still be munting around the middle unless you've gone
to Melbourne. Yeah, Craig Bellamy has honed him and is
getting you know, he manages to get all of the.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Juice out of the berry. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Like if you look at that, someone like Nick Minie, right,
Nick Manna. He he was pretty average, but he's like
did sit sweet as he was a sweet Airs replacement
for Pappenhausen and until far long or yeah, oh god,
I want to punch the mon awave out of his face.
Oh you know when the thing not because I dislike him, Yeah,
(07:02):
because he's just one of those players that's on the
team we're playing and he is so good.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's like when Reee Walsh plays against us. Yeah, when
he was playing for us, we're like, yeah, mean suck that.
But then when he's playing against you. I took so
much like shudden freuder from him doing the big Swan
dive and then injuring.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Himself massively winding himself and cracking a rib sucker.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But he is electric. He car'd us the bits a
little bit there. I think the biggest thing that the
elphant in the room for this game was the two
yellow cards. The first one was quick tap and go
from Jerome Hughes. He ran straight into Marcelo Montour to
try and milk a penalty. Marcelo obliged, grabbed him, threw
him over the sideline. The rifts like the fuck, you
can't do that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So I wouldn't be surprised that Marcello should have thrown
him over the sideline and just walked to the dressing Yeah,
because that play is one of the few guaranteed end
up binnings, Like there's no question no. And Girard Sutton right,
he has a bad history with the Warriors in terms
(08:09):
of calls.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
At one point in the tackle other penalty count was
six to one against us.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But then having said that, he gave us every call
in that first twenty minutes. The call I found weird
was when they went back to plays.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Tommarti Martin's head.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
High and Wade was going, what about my head high?
And he goes, you didn't get head high tech on?
While am I bleeding from the face.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah. That that one absolutely killed me when it happened,
because I think, didn't we score so we were going
to have the ball? Yeah, because we that's right. It
was a double knock on and we're like, right, it's
our ball. But then they're like, hang.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
On, yeah, we scored, but it was a double knock
on Melbourne knock on first.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And then they went back to plays like, that's not
what you were checking. That isn't what we were talking about.
Such a rugby union movement. It was a massive rugby
union move And just before that game, I was talking
to mcconey, who commentated the rugby union game before us,
and he's like, League does a good job of this
kind of stuff. You know, they don't go back that far.
They just go back to the last place. Sure enough,
we're gonna absolutely slick. But again that's not why we lost.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I do think I just just still on that to
Marty Martin thing I thought the way League meant to
deal with it is they play the knock on, but
they go we checked that there was foul play.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
To Marty Martin's on report.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, so then it gets dealt with after the game
because they missed the penalty in the run and play.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yes, but no, they decided we're actually going to bring
that one back and Wade got smoked. Yeah, well again,
like you said, he said to the reef, how can
I have blood coming out of my lip if I
didn't get hid in the head. I don't know. It's
just such a squirrely one. And I know it's like
a sore topic because anytime it goes against your team,
(09:53):
you're like, what the rules?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, And I'm not one to blame the refs, because look,
the refs didn't lose us that game.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No, we our age defense lost us that game. I
felt well, particularly when we lost the edges of our
edges from those two Yellow Caps. When we had no edges,
we had no edges, We were just a middle because
there was one. There was one. Try to I forget
his name, their winger, Grant Atkinson.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, just where that sounds like a referee, Grant where
Montoya just stumbled to get on the out to turn around.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh yeah, he just got done on the outside. Ye
where we compressed a bit too much, just got the
numbers a little bit wrong on that one. Yeah, that's
a bit disappointing. But also we had a lot of
injuries in this game. Yeah, we did. Rocc o'berry. I don't,
I don't. I don't know exactly what happened to him,
but it looked like he heard his hand again. It
was some sort of issuing. It was on the same
(10:57):
So it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Is down his shoulder on the NRL injuries, Yeah, right,
which is what he had before, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, he broke his hand and so he was out
for a little bit and then yeah, he was down
in the goal getting attended to, which is no good
because if you notice towards the end of the game,
I think was Shanelle Harris Devita was kicking and Pompy
came off with an ankle injury as well.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And respect to Pompey, he was kicking epic, Yeah he was.
These conversions were great. What was your take on Chanell
getting like nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm not entirely sure what his role is at the
moment and the Warriors like, yeah, he's in there to
spell Wade Egan. But I just think it's been a
little bit all over the shop at the moment, and
so I don't know, there's been a few players that
we've been carrying on our bench that didn't get too
many minutes. Kirk cape Wire probably only good about the
(12:01):
same amount. Yeah, it just felt like we didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, and I mean it's more more intelligent people and myself,
but I'm just looking at it now. Rocoberry's shoulder and
Adam Pompey is to they're both TBC.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, looked like some sort of ankle lower leg injury.
It was very late on in the piece.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I felt like he came off with the two
or three minutes to go.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, it sort of sailed under the radar and then Yeah,
I don't know, it's just so upside.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Two of us are check back next week. Ed Cossi
played awesome in New South Wales Cup and he did
well when he for the he's played one or two.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Games, he yes, he and he does do well. He
did score a try against the Roosters. Unfortunately, when they
put that like fifty point drubbing on us in the
first half. It was all down his side, so there
is a little bit of a little bit of concern there.
But yeah, you're right. I think Cossy comes in for Dallan,
who's going to get one or two two weeks for
his head high on a man that did not have
(13:02):
the ball, and then that was a brain fart. It
was so Cossio, we have to come in for him.
Artis back into the center, and then I think Ali
La Tower, who I think has been.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He is injury my friend, Oh yeah, he is round
eighteen ankle. Oh man, So maybe there'd be that Moilo
Graham tofa yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Oh man. Or do we put too Picky back in
at full back and then Charms in the centers.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is going to be also a thing that I
thought I'd never be saying.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
The slowest. I just felt that Tahu and es Day
were a bit slower.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I mean, granted they're coming back, but God Heaven didn't
walk for it. Lock change plays so fast, changes the
complexion of teammate yeah and not, and like to who
to who est didn't do anything wrong? But to who's
that more controlling lumbering ball playing sort of Isao type,
(14:15):
whereas Walker just blitzes it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He does. I kind of seetaur who becoming more of
a prop same.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I'd love to see him in the prop rotation.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, just because of exactly what you just said then,
and and if we can get him into that prop rotation,
that may, you know, bring his minutes down a little bit,
because he'll play every minute of a game. If you're
asking how good's Jackson Ford and prop why we were
trying to figure this out last week, why have they
swapped Mitch Barnett and Jackson Ford around? I think because.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Mitch Barnette and Neil Cord I think are really steady
with the ball. Nil Cord is what so j and
Ford runs mean lines, but you know he drops about
two out of five on that short ball.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's got a good knock on them.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And I think, I mean, Mitch Barnette's shining, as he
showed with that try.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
He can play anywhere.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But it's I think from a coach's point of view,
it's really enjoyable having interchangeable back row and props because
then you don't get caught in the sort of having
to play the same people. However, I haven't seen much
of tom Ahler, there'll be dementrics if a cooler coming
back into the Pictureion And that's with Bunty out as well,
(15:37):
and Bunty's playing New South Wales Cup.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
We've got our resources are there.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But what I think we're gonna struggle with is there's
this log jam, right and teams are really starting to
step up, like manly, you know, the Cowboys got that
big win.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, so I don't trust the Cowboys but yet.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
No, But I mean just in terms of like I
think it's going to be a big fight for us
to get to the bottom of the eight. Yes, right, Yeah,
I'm with you because you know, it's not like it's
not like we're just going against a couple of teams.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
No, the Bulldogs are and it's sixth. The Broncos I
think might even be eight. Yeah, I think the Broncos
are on the slide. Eh. Yeah. So it's like these
are the guys that we're trying to compete with to
get in there, Dolphins, Sharks, storm, Panthers all right up
at the time.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, So Bronco's fallen out of the eighth, they're at nine.
The roosters of fifth Bulldog sixth Raiders seventh, Manly eighth,
who however, Manly the Manly's on seventeen points. They're in eight,
and we're on fifteen points and we're twelve.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh right, okay, so we could easily be yeah, back
in there, but.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We basically stay where we are next week if we
beat the Titans, because all the teams above us have buyers,
so they're all guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Massive bye week, which in another years would have benefited
us because of the origin thing, but we'll talk about
it later on in the podcast. It's probably not going
to benefit us this time. Just quickly in the older
med Monday Mondays group on Facebook, go and look it up.
Logan Mudge got on there straight after the game and said,
tough watch tonight after a magnificent start, some dumb stuff
from our wingers when we were right in it. Also,
I love him, but I think Sj's days are nearly done.
(17:34):
Offered very little fifteen to go. I hope I eat
my words. Do you think he will eat his words?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You know I'm putting Sj's ESJ just feels a beat slower,
but you know he's had leg injury coming back from
a peck injury. Also we seem to have changed our
style a little of play a bit while he's been out,
so he's slotting back into it. I mean, I hate
(18:05):
to say it, you know, I mean, I mean, obviously
he's coming to the end of his career, but I
think he's sort of the same age as DCE, right,
And you look at how DCE just worked the manly
around the park this week and it basically brought them
to a win when they had no bench. Yeah, Jerome
(18:27):
Hughes just kicked them around the park. I mean it's
awesome to MARTI still had a good game. I mean,
there's there's definitely there's still a place for Sean on
the side, and I think I just hope that he
can find his straps for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I think I know what it is, and I sort
of talked about it last week, and I don't think
it's a positional swap, but it's a role change where
to Mighty Martin becomes our first receiver and dictates a
bit more of the play and freeze Sean Johnson up
to play a little bit more of the sixth role,
if you know what I mean. Yeah, a bit more
floating and yeah, a bit more instinctive, just eyes up.
(19:11):
It seems.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It seems that, I think because also he's a victim
of hiving, been a successful player for so long that
people know how he steps, they know his go tos.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, but I think he obviously one part of why
our right side attacks not as powerful this year is
because teams know about it. They've locked and keyed in
on it, and by default, teams lock in on Sean
Johnson because he is Sean Johnson. So if you've got
some Mighty Martin out there and one of his passing
options is Sean Johnson, I feel like that puts another
level of doubt. It's another decision for a defender to make.
(19:47):
And I think that you pair that with you know, Marta,
who looked excellent, he's out on an edge. You pair
that with Mitch Barnett out on another edge. Arts comes
back and now all of a sudden, you look up,
You're looking at RTS, Mitch Barnett, Shawn Johnson, and you're like, shit,
I don't know what they're gonna do here. Yeah, all
running down one side, all running down one side. So
I think that I think that we put a bit
(20:09):
more into Tomighty Martin. We found out over the last
few weeks he's up to it. But I still think
there's a little bit of difference, particularly from him being like, look,
that's Seawn Johnson. He can do whatever he wants. And
also from the team's perspective, we're paying Seawan Johnson all
this money. Here you go, you're in charge of everything.
I think it'll do us a lot to just take
a bit off his plate. Just say, look, mate, we're
gonna give you a bit more license to rome and
(20:31):
tonight's going to take you know, take charge a little
bit more. Yeah, I'll be into that.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I feel our kicking options need something, something, because we
don't have that kicker like Matt Burton. What did you
watch the South's game, Bonny Chilnes, No, not live, Jack Whiton.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, has he did?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
He kicked at seventy five on the.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Sixth fifth tackle. It did could get dead?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
No, No, he kicked it from his twenty five down.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
To their five meter line. Jesus Chriss.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
So like they like just massive punts, Yeah, we don't.
And that changed again, Like that changed it from you
guys struggling to get out of your own end all
of a sudden that guy runs off ten meters and
he's caught on his fifteen meter line.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You know you're right with having said that. I think
Sean Johnson, at least up until his injury, was leading
the league in kicked meters. But you're right, it's not
so much that it's just the we don't have attacking kicks.
We haven't had a forty twenty in about a decade.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And also those you know, those bombs that are just wobbling,
towering messes.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yes, someone put one up on the weekend that wasn't
Sean Johnson, and it's scared the piss out of old
so far long almost dropped it. I'm forgetting who it was.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Oh it wasn't Chance put up a bomb.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It was Chance and he lined up like he was
going for a torpedo box. Yeah, I was like, go
on Chance. I just kind of wonder if the Warriors
at the moment, our identity last year, well before that,
even our identity at the Warriors has always been schoolyard, bullshit, razzle, dazzle.
We might blow off the park, you might blow us
off the park, but we're going to try shit. Where
we turned around was I think even before Web came
(22:25):
in and it was like right through Nathan Brown was
like no.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And it was especially actually when Nathan Brown left and
Todd Peyton came and the second half of that season.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And it was like, we're going to complete at ninety
nine percent. We're not going to try any dumb shit,
and if you beat us, you beat us. We only
beat us by two or four points, but we're not
going to give you the game. And I think that's
taken a little bit of the natural footy away from
some of the players. And I think that's why I think,
like you said, Chance has got so much more than
(22:58):
he's been showing, and I think maybe we just need
to loosen the reins a little bit and look, fellas,
we've got some ballplayers, let them play ball. We still
need to stick with the you know, the high completion rates,
that the defense, solid defense, But I just feel like
we've got a bit more razzle dazzle in us. We
need to unleash it. All.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Teams aren't going through the middle of us. Our defense
in the middle is really good, it's just the edges,
like we get caught sucking in, jamming in. Don't want
to get caught sucking in oh, never get caught sucking in.
But you know, we seem to our wingers seem to
be turned in a lot of the time, so when
(23:40):
the ball goes around the outside of them, they have
to turn out and then chase.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And they are not going to chase.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And we were chatting a bit about this before when
Nick Meeney got that runaway try. Well, we everything has
a trade off. Our backs run hard out like in
the first three tackles when we get the ball, but
they're not nimble sort of Jason sab carn Perira type.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
We don't speedst it. No, we don't have any out
and out speeds. So I think we talked about this
on the podcast a couple of weeks ago. If I
asked you who how fastest player was and you couldn't
say Luke Metcalfe, I don't know who it is. I
think it's Dylan once he gets going.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, sometimes I'm eternally going, oh, would it be Jazz
maybe or Dylan?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, I mean over ten meters, it's definitely Dylan. And
also we.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I think no one's that sprint like from zero to
one hundred really fast like Dylan once he gets like
the flap up. Well, he's away, but for him to
get to the velocity to have the flap up, it
takes a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, and Marcello is.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
More's hard work orse gran run.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, he's an origin winger as well as my Cello is.
He's a he's a you know, hard nose straight up
the garts kick returned sort of winger.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And Rockerberry had a good break. Actually, yeah, but he's
not out and outspeed stead.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
No, you can tell he's a rugby union player, or
was at least. But look, I think thirty eight is
probably a little higher than I would like it to be.
A couple of brain farts, I think if you take
those away, they scored two tries of the year, so
in my mind, I can shave twelve points off this
and that makes it twenty six twenty four wins.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So do we have both There was a few minutes
when both of them were off at the same time, Yes,
there was. Yeah, so we were playing eleven. We had
a soccer team eleven verse thirteen of the storm, Yeah,
plus the reef plus the reef. At one point but no,
I mean Andrew web still looked really bummed out.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, he didn't have press conference. Mitch Monty was scathing
in his postmatch conference as well. They like, what do
you think is that a couple of individual performances really
let us down in that second half? He just stopped
short of been like Dallan Macello fucked us?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Well, they did, they did, They did because you can't
lose two players, especially not on your edge, because you
can't hide that.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
No, I mean, isn't. Yeah, So anyway, we move on,
We will talk about we'll probably give a bigger preview
of the game when we get closer to it. But
we've got the Tits this weekend Saturday, five pm. The
Titans have not been going very well, but I think
that from memory and I should have checked this. They
beat us last time. Yes, they beat us at home,
(26:39):
so that's but we're going to be going over there.
I believe Seabar Stadium.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The Tits head are pretty bad outing. Yes, without their
star David ffeeda.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yep like scratching. Hopefully still out this week. Not the hard.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The hard thing's going to be seeing how we line up.
I think, yeah, how that back line lines up. I mean,
I'm confident that there's enough young talent.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yes, but well, but what we really need from this?
What is it a round sixteen this weekend? There are
twenty five twenty seven rounds. What we need from here
on out is we need and the best teams will
have this a bit of consistency and continuity through throughout.
That's why we did so well last year. We've had
so much chopping and changing it's hard to get that
(27:28):
continuity going.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
So we need to win. We need to win. What
do we have eight games left?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
No, I'm on that. It's well, we've got two buyers left.
One of our buyers is around twenty seven, which is handy.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So our upcoming games are Titans, Broncos, Dogs, Raiders, Tigers, Eels, Dolphins,
Manly Dog Sharks.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I'm hearing some dog shit teams in there. That fills
me with confidence. We need we I think the cutoff's going.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
To be around thirty two points and we're on fifteen
at the moment. We get four more points from buyers
to nineteen, then we'll need to find thirteen fourteen. We
need to find seven wins.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I don't mind it one.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Two, three, four, seven ninety So basically seven we need
to win seven out of our next ten games if we.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Played the Tigers yet, I don't think we have.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
We play the Tigers in there, So I reckon we
beat the Titans. I reckon we beat the Broncos at home. Yep,
we play the Dogs away. That's a tough game. Fifty
to fifty Raiders away.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I reckon we beat the Raiders. Okay, we beat the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
We beat the Tigers, the Eels at home.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I reckon we can beats.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Then we have the Dolphins away, no Manly away, no
Dogs at home our home. Yeah, I'm probably still gonna
say no, and Sharks away. So we need to given
us five. So we need two more out of that.
So we're going to need Yeah, but there are two.
(29:05):
There are two games in there. I could see us jagging.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, the Bulldogs once.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I just had to see us see the Bulldogs feel
to me like those games that we could either get
touched up or we could put a score on.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, So it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And bear in mind, this is to just get us
into the eight.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But we fired once we get in there.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Oh hell yeah, we're book your tickets. Yeah, it's going
to be literally all right, we're going to actually, yeah,
I got my accommodation. When the tickets come out of
either I'll blind you. Charlie and I when we went
to the Grand Phone last year were actually we got
there and we went.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
The Warriors aren't here because this is a stressfully experience. Yeah,
you know, it was just like fully enjoy the day.
There was no worry.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Rather than just like shitting yourself. James mcconey on the
Super Rugby commentary of the Chiefs was so nervous here
to go make a cup te mid commentary walked off,
Oh I know, I'm a Canes fan and that was depression.
All right, we'll move on, move on, We're gonna take
a quick break. But just before we do, the four
and twenty four pack prize pack is back for this month.
Each month Mad Monday Team of giving away four tickets
(30:14):
to the next home game and four and twenty pive vouchers.
Do not eat those with a knife and fork. We enter.
Just text the monthly keyword to three two three six.
This month the keyword is yum. Oh well why you am? Yeah,
you got it And if you can spell that like die,
texts yum to three two three six to be in
to win quick break, will be back with the stockt
(30:36):
all right, now it is time for the stoker of
the realm. This game was built by I think it
was dan Ganaine that was commentating it as will it
be Jaws or flipper dolphins for his Sharks tonight, jewels
or flipper?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I mean dan Gan Aine's got a great turn of phrase,
but that's not really the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Also was flipper of dolphin.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah okay, but also sharks still have flippers, don't they.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Well, this is the thing. Both teams were doing the
fins up thing on their head when they were scoring,
both the Sharks and the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
That there was because I think it was five years
ago the Sharks almost went with fins up as their slogan,
their slogan catchphrase. Then they were really pissed off when
the Dolphins went with it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, so a bit of a feeling there, But in
the end was a good game. Yeah. The Dolphins as
they want to do. They nibbled around and ate the
liver out of the sharks. That is how dolphins quite
often kill sharks. Thirty points to twenty eight. But it
just it was the ending of this game, genuinely, was
anyone's game right up until the final hurdle, wasn't it?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah? What was what? He went in and felt like
with a minute to go or two minutes ago?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I know, And then they left the clock running to
where it was expired by the time Nico Hines took
his kick, he missed it and in the end thirty points.
Pawn Neck goes a bit out of form? Did he
because I saw this meme doing the rounds this morning.
Did he kick himself out of Origin with that kick?
I think?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I think it was a bit of a full gone conclusion.
Before that, he didn't really offer a lot in Origin.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I mean, you can't.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You can't really judge his Origin stats because he you know,
he played that weird ten minutes at center last year.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
He Ever since he went into that Origin camp, he
seemed a bit out of sorts. He was out and
out the best half back in the comp until a
week before Origin, and.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Sudden he's come off the boil. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
And even in that Dolphins game, he didn't seem to
be fully leading them around the park. She was. The
Dolphins played hard out in that opening twenty minutes. I
thought this is going to be a blowout to the Dolphins.
Yeah yeah, because what that scored four times in twenty
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
The Dolphins look incredible and only their second year. You know,
usually when a new team comes in, you look at
them and go, oh yeah, well, it takes ages to
get a team up and running. Well, not for these guys.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I'll be intrigued to see what happens when Christian Wolf
takes over next year.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yes, although I don't know, I feel like there's enough
momentum that the players have been given opportunities, none more
so than Hammer, who had a Try of the year
kind of candle when he caught the ball five meters
out from his own line and just it was like
John Coowin against Italy. It was like Jared Haynes in
(33:38):
two thousand and nine. Can't find any footage of that
online anymore, but he just carved everyone up out of
nowhere and scored a try down.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I felt like I was watching a heavily sun tan
Christian Callen yea there for a second, you know that
sort of Jen King run, bouncing around out of your
own twenty two No one quite knows where they're going.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Then boom, he's off into the backfield. He has Wheels. Oh,
he's incredible. I think there's some ridiculous stat around how
many tries he's scored. Basically, if he walks onto a
rugby league field, he scores at least one try the
hem and it doesn't matter whether that's an origin could
be for anyone, he's going to score a try. He
has been absolutely outstanding the way that we do the
(34:19):
DELI him. He's not going to win it, but I
think he's probably been arguably the best player in the
league this year.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh absolutely, he and that that's try of the year
is so far.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
The the Sharks, I mean they're falling off, have had
a rough few weeks.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
They are still hovering around the top four Sharks. Fact,
I think they're still in there. I think they've had
a red still.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And the Dolphins are oh yeah, So Penrith Cranala are
on twenty two points and the Dolphins are.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah. I think that they have had a topsy turvy one.
But I think that it's because of the expectations on
them that people think that they're not going to well,
whereas when you actually watch them, they are going well.
They came off the boil for a little bit Trendle's back.
Now moly Tullo is starting to look good. So if
it tallic I has been coming off the beach out.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
They've got the buy this week because they mechanical with mckennison,
Heinz not making orange and they have their full strength side.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, it would be a bit of an advantage.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I just think even Will Tallo does look like he's
back and formert.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yes he is, because for the longest time he was
like one of those super coach guns where he was
putting up these massive scores. Then Trendle went out and
all of a sudden, the ball's not coming down his side.
He starts coming off the boil a little bit. Now
he looks excellent again. And I just think that the
like I said, they've been up and down, when it
comes to the end of the season, I still think
(35:53):
they're going to be there or thereabouts, and it will
only take two or three good performances from Nico Hines
for everyone to say he's back to being one hundred
top of the supercoach by Yeah, how's this for a step.
This is the first Dolphins win in Sydney ever, the
Dolphins ever won, and I think that's by virtue of
the fact that ninety percent of the games are at home.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Oh, I mean, I've been on a rant about this before.
Queensland teams seem to have an awful amount of games
in Queensland.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, pisses me off that they play all the games
at sun Corp. That's not their home. They've got Redford.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I heard one of the on Triple M one of
the Queensland pundits was saying he feels sorry for the
Broncos and they may have taken a loss because they're
a bit travel weary because they had to go to
Sydney this week to play the.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Play the Bunnies.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
When it's like, bro, you've just played like thirteen out
of fourteen games at home. No second court, don't talk
about that to us. I was literally looking at flights
to Sydney just last night. It's a four hour flight
to Sydney. And that's not the dick around time on
either side of a flight either. No, for some reason
it's three hours back and four hours over trade wind.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Well, I don't know. I think that's what they want
you to believe, but I reckon if you look at.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It, they just fling a bit faster or as the
spinning that way, It's.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Not spinning at all. Open your eyes, mate, it's flat.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I was like a saucer. Yeah, that's right, And were
the teacups.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
And they just go a little bit faster on the
way back so that you think that it's actually around.
This is how they keep us down.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Oh man, Like I feel that we've got a whole
podcast about this. I wonder what the Venn diagram of
flat earth is in Rugby League podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Listen. It would look like the Japanese flag. It's just one.
It would look like the one in Zied logo. Because
every time someone just got into hit about it about
a couple of weeks ago, and he was just like, look,
I don't know, just do your own research. All I'm saying,
I love to do your own research. Guys like, no,
(37:56):
I'm not a research guy. There are people that do
the research. Yeah, you know, I'm the talk dumb shit
about sports guys.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Multiple people have done the research.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Also, your tube is not research. Anyway, we digress. That
was an absolute stonker that game. I thought that there
were great games across the weekend as well. It was
a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, I have to say I'd like while we were
talking about the sending off for the Warriors players, I've.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
My heart is with j w H.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yeah, did you see his send off for his tackle
on Sean Lane.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
No, that game was a blow up very early doors
and I stopped watching it. He yeah, I thought he
was rough.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
He was definitely sending you know, they're sending him off
before the tackle happened.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Basically, who did it? Yeah, yeah, you're out mate, out
of here.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
But no, my team's are roosters had when and the
Bunnies look like they're back and forth.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Bunnies are back. I saw this boat turning around a
couple of weeks ago. I brought every Bunny I could
afford into my super coach team. I just think they
are a good team. We've forgotten about it because they
had a shitt to start the season. The second coach,
the whole thing. I think. I think they're going to
be very good for this because.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
They do have like a top four roster once they
get their side.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
But absolutely, Clauna Toungy has been excellent.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Colaonma Tungy the last couple of weeks has been on fire.
Latrelle is back to actually doing effort plays where he's
doing hard RUMs.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
He's pissed off and he needs that, but he's.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Not You know how Cody and Latrell can do pissed
off but they end up just doing brain farts and
getting sent off. Yeah, he's pissed off but focused. And
to be honest, Cody Walker's got to be putting his
hand up for Origin.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
He is so good close to the line. Well, they've
just announced their team. We'll go through it in a minute,
but he has missed out, which is a little bit
disappointing for poor Cody. So you're right though they he
should be in contention, particularly with the harves crisis that
they've got going on.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
So it wouldn't surprise me. It feels like, looking at
the outside kind of pretty much. I reckon Paramatta Even then,
ty So Tigers and Gold Coast, the other sort of
nine to fifteen could all go on a run and
make the eight.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Tigers Titans eels. Yeah. Yeah, there's a bit of parody
in the league this year. It's quite good. Oh, this
is why you've got to love your rugby league.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, is that any team can beat any team on
their day. Look what the Tigers beat the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Remember, yeah, yeah, it was a couple of years ago.
I actually won a lot of money off that one.
It was just like Battle of the Big Big Cats.
I can see it going one way. Look, we talked
about the state of origon just before they have announced
the Blues team. The new South Wales team is out.
We've also received a little bit of mail on the
Queensland team. Now this is take it with the grain
(40:50):
of salt. Probably by the time you listen to this podcast,
you might actually know who is in that Maroon's team.
But we're gonna we're gonna take it as gospel and
so we're gonna we're gonna dive. It's from a very
rebutable source, the notorious Pantsman Joel Harrison. So we're going
to take a quick break. We'll come back and whip
through those teams.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
We've just had a quick break for Dye to make
a few phone calls. He's talked to some of the
people he's connected with over there in the Queensland set
up and he's got the team list for the Morons.
I think we'll go. Do you want to go Blues first? Yeah?
Blues first, babe? All right, let's go Blues first. So
the squad list for game two reads thusly, Dylan Edwards
back in at the number one.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Jersey, So Teddy falls out.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Teddy falls out, and I think that's Madge saying, look,
I was right in picking Dylan Edwards. He's still the
best player. He was just injured.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Imagine if he gets a quid injury in training again
and Teddy comes back and Brian Tore retains his number
two jerseys, no controversy there. He's an absolute weapon. Stephen
Crichton man and a match for the Blues losing. So
Stephen Crochton has been one of the best players this season.
He is absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
This is big.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Latrell Mitchell has been called in it sent it had
to happen, It had to had to happen. The talk was,
it's like how I think. I mean, I'll use a
black Caps, which is a poor example. At the moment
when you pick a side, you pick who don't you
want bowling at you. I don't want like Lockie Ferguson
bowling at me, you know, I do not want Latrell
(42:19):
in big games running at me. And Latrell's the one
who Latrell's the one who mate will actually win a
game single handedly.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yeah, yeah, he will. I think their coach whose name
escapes me now because the second manage McGuire, no, no, no,
the Rabbits Ben Hornby being Hornby. Yeah, career interim head coach.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
He's up for delim interim coach of the year every year.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
He was saying, Look, I don't know who they're going
to pick. All I know is I would hate to
have Latrell lining up opposite me. And I was like,
that's exactly.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Don't ever think so Latrell's going to be up against
Vale Holmes. It's a juicy match out. Oh and that's
the last thing that bel Holmes wants to see. Zach
Lomax retains his jursey. I mean, he's having a year.
He's having an absolute bumper year. Is someone whom I
never really liked as a player. I'm coming around to.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Him same here and I'm like, what is going on
with the Dragons that he wants out? Hunt wants out?
Hunt's just resigned. Lomax is playing the season of his
life as Lomax.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Gonna do you think he'll agitate to backflip and stay
at the Dragons.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
The Dragons are doing a hell.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Of a lot better than Power are at the moment
they are. I just just a sideline this with I
was thinking of Power Isia Papalei. You go into Penrith.
He's going to be a weapon at Penrith.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, yeah, he will be. And again he's the same
Alkato theory if he wouldn't have done that if he
stayed with us. But we digress. Jerome Lewite and at
number six Mitchell Moses is in now.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
So interesting here Jerome Leway and Moses in the halves
and it goes out. I would have been tempted to
put Jerome Lewie at the halfback.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Spot and put Cody Walker in yes one, because.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Cody and Latrelle have that like telepathic yes.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Yeah, play together vulcan mind meld. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
However, Moses has an epic kicking game and that's what
the Blues.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Lack, yes in game one. And I just feel like,
if I'm a new South Welshman, I don't want Jerome
Lewi as my halfback in state of origin, you know
what I mean? I don't know. I can't put my
finger on exactly what it is, but that doesn't fill
me with comforce.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I mean, that's a great half's parent.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
It is. Jake Travoyevitch will wear the captain's armband again.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Reese Robson, John Bereenthal, Reee Robinson looks a lot like
John Breenthal who played the Punisher.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the guy you're talking about.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, he's and Reese Robson. He made like forty five
tackles or something in that first Origin.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
He's been excellent. Pain hears will be on the other
side of the scrum. Liam Martin, Angus Crichton, Cameron Murray's. Yeah,
he's been out with injury for quite a while. He's
just straight back into the team there, Isaiah, you will
come off the bench, so will Homali Alakuwatu, Spencer Lenu
and at eighteenth man this week, meaning he will not
play for the Warriors this weekend. Mitchell Barnett, No, great
(45:28):
for him, disappointed for us. Great for him.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
It sort of means you might have a freshen up
week if he doesn't play.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
He played amazing for us.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
As if you haven't heard the news, he's re signed
for two more years at the Warriors. He's loved his
time over here. He doesn't think he's done all he
wants to do at the Warriors match. Yes, win us
a comp he is, he's I mean, he deserves its
spot now. I hope he actually gets some game time.
(45:59):
Looking at this side though, that's a weapon of a
forward pack and a bench.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Oh yeah, Ken mckinness isn't even in there. He's nineteenth man.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
I'm glad to see Connor Watson in there. I think
he's had a really good year for the Roosters.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Yes, oh sorry, it's skipped over him. I thought Connor
Watson was great. How about this that he missed all
of last year with an injury. He started this year
in New South Wales Cup and now he's playing State
of Origin in game two. He has been excellent. If
you haven't been watching the Roosters, he's been coming off
the bench for them and he has been incredible.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
He plays with so much energy. I think if they
can string it together. Granted it's very hard to tell
exactly where the Blues.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Are at as that game was lost with this sending off.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Yeah, so now it's going to be a cracker of
a game. So here is the Queensland team for State
of Origin Game two. Reese Walsh has been cleared of concussion.
He'll be starting at fullback. Xavier Coats on the wing
with Murray Tar Lungey, Valentine Holmes and the Hammer Hammersodabi
(47:09):
Fido in the centers, Tom Dead and Daily, Cherry Evans
and Halves. Reuben Cotter at prop with Lindsay Collins, Ben
Hunt playing nine, Jaden Sewer, Jeremiah nan I, Pat Carrigan.
The bench is Harry Grant, Mofotwaca for Less, kou Fusi
(47:30):
and Kirk cape Wise.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Kurt cap wells in it's seventeen.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Well, he's been out for about six weeks, it seems
for the Warriors. He comes back in plays about seven
minutes on the weekend and now he's straight into Origin.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah, not saying not saying he was ever bad at
the Warriors, but it's not like he blew the doors off. No.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
But I think this is what the Maroons do so well,
is that they pick Origin players and they feel like
they are building a Maroons team. Does the Blues to
me feel like they're picking an all star team every year?
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Seek Cate Well at seventeen, what the Smack's of is
like Maroons get out to a bit of a lead
and then they bring on players like Cape Warre who
will just tackle everything. He'll just shut the middle down.
The Extended Squad eighteen is Origin Gags, Dane Gago nineteen
(48:21):
is the Helium Balloon, Halem Luky Haleem Luky Well and
Trent Loro Lero Well. I would that's a surprise.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Helen Luky is a surprise. He was excellent to start
the season, had some sort of horrific injury and then
came back just a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Again, but he had a pretty middling game against US.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yeah, but again, I just I just feel like they
are building. They play like they are the Australian team,
and they're building for the future, and they're bringing dudes through.
And if you had the jersey last year, that means
a lot. We want to bring you back in because
of that. And I think that DCE at the Helm,
you know, brings a lot of money to that.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
TCE is dripping mana like he seems to just get
better and better and better. But he's thirty three, thirty four.
He looks like he's comfortably got a couple of years
left in it.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
That Yeah, it is epic.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
I mean the Blues they're playing in Melbourne must win
game or we go to a dead rubber. So Madge
is just throwing everything at the wall to win this.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
I don't know. I don't think he has I don't
think he has. No. I still can't see why Spencer
lien You deserves a spot over Mitch Barnette. That's insane
to me. Yeah, I mean Spencer en You.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
I think he definitely changed the vibe in that game
won when he came on. You know how, He's got
the big flaring eyes. He freaks the shit out of people. Well,
Mitch Burnette, these people of suiting. Yeah, I feel Mitch
Barnett is more of an origin place.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
So do I. That's exactly what I was gonna say. Yes,
I think he is too. Like he's just sturdy drop
on a dairy farm in New South Wales. What are
we talking about?
Speaker 2 (50:19):
He just get the adder between the fingers, yeah, you know,
and just get.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Out base to tip, base to tip exactly.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Just fully unpasteurized, unpasteurized.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Try scoring do your own research on unpasturized milk as well.
I'm just saying this is the kind of God.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Literally, only eight out of ten people die from it, Like,
so what's wrong with it?
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Drink it?
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Man.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
When they passed it, they take out all the nutrients
that make your bones grow strong. So they it's what
they don't want you to know. That's what Big Dairy
doesn't want you to know.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
I feel the Internet has just caused more controversy than
actually ironing facts out.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
But I do think that he is a new South Welsh.
You know, Madge was talking about all the stuff that
they're going to go up in the Blue Mountains and
take it back, get it away from the city, get
it away from lattes and Bondai. If that's what you're
gonna do, then Mitch Barnett is the man you need
in your team. Yeah. But having said that, I don't
think the Blues are going to win this. I think
this could even best.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
No, you're never going to lose money betting on Queensland consistently,
No you're not.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
And so that's how I think that one's going to
play out. That is next Wednesday at the god awful
time of ten o'clock. But we'll be commentating one.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
Which also ends up to really actually be quarter past ten,
but ten past ten, quarter past ten by the time.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Easily it is a week ruin of Origin because buddy
and you just bugged for the rest of the week.
I'd had a long.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Day before the Origin call last time, and.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Then I got home and you're all.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
You're still a bit fizzing, yes, just from calling a game.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
Get home.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
It's like twenty past twelve, and it's like it's Thursday
tomorrow and I have stuff at like eight point thirty
to do.
Speaker 1 (51:58):
Yeah, and then you just you're in bed at one
o'clock watching Origin berths on YouTube, Like I'm not getting
to sleep right off the night. So yeah, so yeah,
we'll be commentating that. We'll be commentating the Warriors Saturday
five o'clock against the Tests. We'll be back on Thursday
for another episode of the Mad Monday podcast. Thank you
very much, Die very much.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Enjoy Enjoy your week Australia with
Speaker 1 (52:30):
Australia with It.
Welcome into the Mad Monday Podcast, brought to you as
always by four and twenty Pile. It's the perfect at
home snack for watching rugby League Minia and die with
you for your Monday die Just on the four and
twenty pie the Traveler pie. I know you love it.
I love it too. Have you ever seen someone eat
it with a knife and fork before? Now?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I look, I have seen someone need a pie with
a knife and fork. The only pie I'll give you
to eat with a knife and fork is if you're
actually in a pub having a proper pub.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Pie and you get a slice.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, or it comes in a sort of big rammikan
with a lid on it, so you have to pot pie.
But if you're getting a pie that you'd either get
at the footy a servo or it's an on the
go pie. And the Traveler is one literally made to
hold in your hand in one head. Don't tell me
someone we know has been eating a pie a knife
and for.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Casey on Saturday night was tucking into one with a
knife and fork. He said it was a little too
hot for him and so he had to roll the
knife and fork. He was appropriately torn to shreds on
the text machine for his efforts as well.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Look, I mean Keysy someone who loves the banter.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We all know that. But oh it was just he
loves the burgers too. Down there, down there at the mount.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I thought I thought, I thought he was just a
key we guy. He's into cars. Yeah, he's into the
Red Fox Steven. He better not be caught dead in
the Red Fox Steven eating him four and twenty with
a fork and a knife and fork. He was cutting out,
giving it a.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Bit, yeah, and there was a there's a video of
him trying to do it on the thing, but because
it was ear fried to within an inch of its life,
he couldn't cut through because it was quite crusty. But
again it's designed to hold together in your hand. So
he's trying to cut it in the and he goes
to pick it up, it just drops off the end
of his fork. The videos on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So the answer, keasy is if your pie's too hot.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
This is what we use.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
When I was at primary school, once a week you
could order a pie, right.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, write your name on the envelope.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It always came so hot, so you'd take the top off,
put the sauce inside, put the lid back on and
the source cooled it. Yeah, that's that's there's a lot
of option. You don't have to go straight for the
knife and for if it's too hot your hand, you
can put bread on either side. That's where the pie
sandwich came from. You can blow on it, of course,
(02:33):
like the famous ad, you know that's say for communities together.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Say for communities together. That pie has been in the
pie warmers since eight o'clock this morning. It's thermonuclet. You
must always blow on the pie. You could just wait.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I reckon that that police officer did more for the
reputation of the police in New Zealand than any police
officer in the street.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Is one hundred per I couldn't think of maybe the
good aftable constinent officer. Although he was just there when
it happened. He did next year. He didn't have a
great line, No, he was just there. Yeah, I think
he would. But yeah, there's no threat. We're dancing.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We're dancing around the sadness here in the n Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The sadness is thirty eight to twenty four. The Warriors
lose again. That is sixteen straight against the storm fifteen years.
That we haven't beaten them. I think it was yeah,
two thousand and nine. Last time we beat the Storm,
they are top of the table. And before we get
too deep into the chat, I would say before this game,
if you told me the score was going to be
thirty eight twenty four, I would have said, that probably
(03:34):
sounds about right, don't you think. But it's probably the
way that it happened that was alertle bit disappointing. Yeah,
like thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So if I just saw the score thirty eight twenty four,
I'd think Storm got out to a lead and then
we hunted them down, but we didn't have enough time
to get it back. So this morning I did like,
I've done my watch, I've done my watch, and I
just watched.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The game through stats.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The stats don't tell the don't tell a thirty eight
twenty four store. No, we had fifty four percent of
the possession, Yeah, an eighty two percent completion rate to
their seventy six percent. We had more completed sets, we
had more total sets, We had three hundred more run.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Meters three hundred. We had eleven to six off loads.
So the only stat they beat us in it was
this was try points. Yeah, and I have to say.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
As a Warriors fan who has a heavy amount of PTSD,
I was so stressed out when we got out to
that early lead. You know that twenty we had twenty
beautiful minutes of play. Granted we probably should have scored
another try in that in that time where you know,
(05:01):
after twelve minutes, the Storm hadn't touched them, had a
full set. After twenty minutes we had been they hadn't
been into our half, and then they just do what
the bloody Storm do.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Couple of opportunistsic trys. I thought that, like you said,
the start was excellent. Adam Pombi scoring that try, the
chance back door flick outrageous.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So that seals the deal right on chance. Before you
know the game, Chance had in the hearts. Everyone was saying,
is he a ballplayer? He doesn't really, you know, he's
another silky hands ballplayer. He showed he as a great
passer in that that back door flip pass was on
(05:44):
the money, It was under pressure, it was amazing, it
was sick. I mean, I'd give him a pass because
he's a key.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
We Jerom Hughes owned that game. He destroyed us, and
I was saying that my Keysy to success before the
aim was Jerome Hughes and Elikator. We need to shut
both of them down. They play so well together. You're right.
Jerome Hughes killed us his combination with Ali Kata, who
just took out in Pompy's lollies for that try where
they kicked Pompy went up, caught it and then kut
(06:17):
went main catch bro give us that book and then
scored a try. He is a player who.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Would still be munting around the middle unless you've gone
to Melbourne. Yeah, Craig Bellamy has honed him and is
getting you know, he manages to get all of the.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Juice out of the berry. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Like if you look at that, someone like Nick Minie, right,
Nick Manna. He he was pretty average, but he's like
did sit sweet as he was a sweet Airs replacement
for Pappenhausen and until far long or yeah, oh god,
I want to punch the mon awave out of his face.
Oh you know when the thing not because I dislike him, Yeah,
(07:02):
because he's just one of those players that's on the
team we're playing and he is so good.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's like when Reee Walsh plays against us. Yeah, when
he was playing for us, we're like, yeah, mean suck that.
But then when he's playing against you. I took so
much like shudden freuder from him doing the big Swan
dive and then injuring.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Himself massively winding himself and cracking a rib sucker.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But he is electric. He car'd us the bits a
little bit there. I think the biggest thing that the
elphant in the room for this game was the two
yellow cards. The first one was quick tap and go
from Jerome Hughes. He ran straight into Marcelo Montour to
try and milk a penalty. Marcelo obliged, grabbed him, threw
him over the sideline. The rifts like the fuck, you
can't do that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So I wouldn't be surprised that Marcello should have thrown
him over the sideline and just walked to the dressing Yeah,
because that play is one of the few guaranteed end
up binnings, Like there's no question no. And Girard Sutton right,
he has a bad history with the Warriors in terms
(08:09):
of calls.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
At one point in the tackle other penalty count was
six to one against us.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But then having said that, he gave us every call
in that first twenty minutes. The call I found weird
was when they went back to plays.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Tommarti Martin's head.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
High and Wade was going, what about my head high?
And he goes, you didn't get head high tech on?
While am I bleeding from the face.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah. That that one absolutely killed me when it happened,
because I think, didn't we score so we were going
to have the ball? Yeah, because we that's right. It
was a double knock on and we're like, right, it's
our ball. But then they're like, hang.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
On, yeah, we scored, but it was a double knock
on Melbourne knock on first.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And then they went back to plays like, that's not
what you were checking. That isn't what we were talking about.
Such a rugby union movement. It was a massive rugby
union move And just before that game, I was talking
to mcconey, who commentated the rugby union game before us,
and he's like, League does a good job of this
kind of stuff. You know, they don't go back that far.
They just go back to the last place. Sure enough,
we're gonna absolutely slick. But again that's not why we lost.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I do think I just just still on that to
Marty Martin thing I thought the way League meant to
deal with it is they play the knock on, but
they go we checked that there was foul play.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
To Marty Martin's on report.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, so then it gets dealt with after the game
because they missed the penalty in the run and play.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yes, but no, they decided we're actually going to bring
that one back and Wade got smoked. Yeah, well again,
like you said, he said to the reef, how can
I have blood coming out of my lip if I
didn't get hid in the head. I don't know. It's
just such a squirrely one. And I know it's like
a sore topic because anytime it goes against your team,
(09:53):
you're like, what the rules?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, And I'm not one to blame the refs, because look,
the refs didn't lose us that game.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No, we our age defense lost us that game. I
felt well, particularly when we lost the edges of our
edges from those two Yellow Caps. When we had no edges,
we had no edges, We were just a middle because
there was one. There was one. Try to I forget
his name, their winger, Grant Atkinson.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, just where that sounds like a referee, Grant where
Montoya just stumbled to get on the out to turn around.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh yeah, he just got done on the outside. Ye
where we compressed a bit too much, just got the
numbers a little bit wrong on that one. Yeah, that's
a bit disappointing. But also we had a lot of
injuries in this game. Yeah, we did. Rocc o'berry. I don't,
I don't. I don't know exactly what happened to him,
but it looked like he heard his hand again. It
was some sort of issuing. It was on the same
(10:57):
So it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Is down his shoulder on the NRL injuries, Yeah, right,
which is what he had before, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, he broke his hand and so he was out
for a little bit and then yeah, he was down
in the goal getting attended to, which is no good
because if you notice towards the end of the game,
I think was Shanelle Harris Devita was kicking and Pompy
came off with an ankle injury as well.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And respect to Pompey, he was kicking epic, Yeah he was.
These conversions were great. What was your take on Chanell
getting like nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm not entirely sure what his role is at the
moment and the Warriors like, yeah, he's in there to
spell Wade Egan. But I just think it's been a
little bit all over the shop at the moment, and
so I don't know, there's been a few players that
we've been carrying on our bench that didn't get too
many minutes. Kirk cape Wire probably only good about the
(12:01):
same amount. Yeah, it just felt like we didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, and I mean it's more more intelligent people and myself,
but I'm just looking at it now. Rocoberry's shoulder and
Adam Pompey is to they're both TBC.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, looked like some sort of ankle lower leg injury.
It was very late on in the piece.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I felt like he came off with the two
or three minutes to go.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, it sort of sailed under the radar and then Yeah,
I don't know, it's just so upside.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Two of us are check back next week. Ed Cossi
played awesome in New South Wales Cup and he did
well when he for the he's played one or two.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Games, he yes, he and he does do well. He
did score a try against the Roosters. Unfortunately, when they
put that like fifty point drubbing on us in the
first half. It was all down his side, so there
is a little bit of a little bit of concern there.
But yeah, you're right. I think Cossy comes in for Dallan,
who's going to get one or two two weeks for
his head high on a man that did not have
(13:02):
the ball, and then that was a brain fart. It
was so Cossio, we have to come in for him.
Artis back into the center, and then I think Ali
La Tower, who I think has been.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He is injury my friend, Oh yeah, he is round
eighteen ankle. Oh man, So maybe there'd be that Moilo
Graham tofa yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Oh man. Or do we put too Picky back in
at full back and then Charms in the centers.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is going to be also a thing that I
thought I'd never be saying.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
The slowest. I just felt that Tahu and es Day
were a bit slower.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I mean, granted they're coming back, but God Heaven didn't
walk for it. Lock change plays so fast, changes the
complexion of teammate yeah and not, and like to who
to who est didn't do anything wrong? But to who's
that more controlling lumbering ball playing sort of Isao type,
(14:15):
whereas Walker just blitzes it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He does. I kind of seetaur who becoming more of
a prop same.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I'd love to see him in the prop rotation.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, just because of exactly what you just said then,
and and if we can get him into that prop rotation,
that may, you know, bring his minutes down a little bit,
because he'll play every minute of a game. If you're
asking how good's Jackson Ford and prop why we were
trying to figure this out last week, why have they
swapped Mitch Barnett and Jackson Ford around? I think because.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Mitch Barnette and Neil Cord I think are really steady
with the ball. Nil Cord is what so j and
Ford runs mean lines, but you know he drops about
two out of five on that short ball.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's got a good knock on them.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And I think, I mean, Mitch Barnette's shining, as he
showed with that try.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
He can play anywhere.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But it's I think from a coach's point of view,
it's really enjoyable having interchangeable back row and props because
then you don't get caught in the sort of having
to play the same people. However, I haven't seen much
of tom Ahler, there'll be dementrics if a cooler coming
back into the Pictureion And that's with Bunty out as well,
(15:37):
and Bunty's playing New South Wales Cup.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
We've got our resources are there.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But what I think we're gonna struggle with is there's
this log jam, right and teams are really starting to
step up, like manly, you know, the Cowboys got that
big win.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, so I don't trust the Cowboys but yet.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
No, But I mean just in terms of like I
think it's going to be a big fight for us
to get to the bottom of the eight. Yes, right, Yeah,
I'm with you because you know, it's not like it's
not like we're just going against a couple of teams.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
No, the Bulldogs are and it's sixth. The Broncos I
think might even be eight. Yeah, I think the Broncos
are on the slide. Eh. Yeah. So it's like these
are the guys that we're trying to compete with to
get in there, Dolphins, Sharks, storm, Panthers all right up
at the time.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, So Bronco's fallen out of the eighth, they're at nine.
The roosters of fifth Bulldog sixth Raiders seventh, Manly eighth,
who however, Manly the Manly's on seventeen points. They're in eight,
and we're on fifteen points and we're twelve.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh right, okay, so we could easily be yeah, back
in there, but.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We basically stay where we are next week if we
beat the Titans, because all the teams above us have buyers,
so they're all guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Massive bye week, which in another years would have benefited
us because of the origin thing, but we'll talk about
it later on in the podcast. It's probably not going
to benefit us this time. Just quickly in the older
med Monday Mondays group on Facebook, go and look it up.
Logan Mudge got on there straight after the game and said,
tough watch tonight after a magnificent start, some dumb stuff
from our wingers when we were right in it. Also,
I love him, but I think Sj's days are nearly done.
(17:34):
Offered very little fifteen to go. I hope I eat
my words. Do you think he will eat his words?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You know I'm putting Sj's ESJ just feels a beat slower,
but you know he's had leg injury coming back from
a peck injury. Also we seem to have changed our
style a little of play a bit while he's been out,
so he's slotting back into it. I mean, I hate
(18:05):
to say it, you know, I mean, I mean, obviously
he's coming to the end of his career, but I
think he's sort of the same age as DCE, right,
And you look at how DCE just worked the manly
around the park this week and it basically brought them
to a win when they had no bench. Yeah, Jerome
(18:27):
Hughes just kicked them around the park. I mean it's
awesome to MARTI still had a good game. I mean,
there's there's definitely there's still a place for Sean on
the side, and I think I just hope that he
can find his straps for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I think I know what it is, and I sort
of talked about it last week, and I don't think
it's a positional swap, but it's a role change where
to Mighty Martin becomes our first receiver and dictates a
bit more of the play and freeze Sean Johnson up
to play a little bit more of the sixth role,
if you know what I mean. Yeah, a bit more
floating and yeah, a bit more instinctive, just eyes up.
(19:11):
It seems.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It seems that, I think because also he's a victim
of hiving, been a successful player for so long that
people know how he steps, they know his go tos.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, but I think he obviously one part of why
our right side attacks not as powerful this year is
because teams know about it. They've locked and keyed in
on it, and by default, teams lock in on Sean
Johnson because he is Sean Johnson. So if you've got
some Mighty Martin out there and one of his passing
options is Sean Johnson, I feel like that puts another
level of doubt. It's another decision for a defender to make.
(19:47):
And I think that you pair that with you know, Marta,
who looked excellent, he's out on an edge. You pair
that with Mitch Barnett out on another edge. Arts comes
back and now all of a sudden, you look up,
You're looking at RTS, Mitch Barnett, Shawn Johnson, and you're like, shit,
I don't know what they're gonna do here. Yeah, all
running down one side, all running down one side. So
I think that I think that we put a bit
(20:09):
more into Tomighty Martin. We found out over the last
few weeks he's up to it. But I still think
there's a little bit of difference, particularly from him being like, look,
that's Seawn Johnson. He can do whatever he wants. And
also from the team's perspective, we're paying Seawan Johnson all
this money. Here you go, you're in charge of everything.
I think it'll do us a lot to just take
a bit off his plate. Just say, look, mate, we're
gonna give you a bit more license to rome and
(20:31):
tonight's going to take you know, take charge a little
bit more. Yeah, I'll be into that.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I feel our kicking options need something, something, because we
don't have that kicker like Matt Burton. What did you
watch the South's game, Bonny Chilnes, No, not live, Jack Whiton.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, has he did?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
He kicked at seventy five on the.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Sixth fifth tackle. It did could get dead?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
No, No, he kicked it from his twenty five down.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
To their five meter line. Jesus Chriss.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
So like they like just massive punts, Yeah, we don't.
And that changed again, Like that changed it from you
guys struggling to get out of your own end all
of a sudden that guy runs off ten meters and
he's caught on his fifteen meter line.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You know you're right with having said that. I think
Sean Johnson, at least up until his injury, was leading
the league in kicked meters. But you're right, it's not
so much that it's just the we don't have attacking kicks.
We haven't had a forty twenty in about a decade.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And also those you know, those bombs that are just wobbling,
towering messes.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yes, someone put one up on the weekend that wasn't
Sean Johnson, and it's scared the piss out of old
so far long almost dropped it. I'm forgetting who it was.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Oh it wasn't Chance put up a bomb.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It was Chance and he lined up like he was
going for a torpedo box. Yeah, I was like, go
on Chance. I just kind of wonder if the Warriors
at the moment, our identity last year, well before that,
even our identity at the Warriors has always been schoolyard, bullshit, razzle, dazzle.
We might blow off the park, you might blow us
off the park, but we're going to try shit. Where
we turned around was I think even before Web came
(22:25):
in and it was like right through Nathan Brown was
like no.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And it was especially actually when Nathan Brown left and
Todd Peyton came and the second half of that season.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And it was like, we're going to complete at ninety
nine percent. We're not going to try any dumb shit,
and if you beat us, you beat us. We only
beat us by two or four points, but we're not
going to give you the game. And I think that's
taken a little bit of the natural footy away from
some of the players. And I think that's why I think,
like you said, Chance has got so much more than
(22:58):
he's been showing, and I think maybe we just need
to loosen the reins a little bit and look, fellas,
we've got some ballplayers, let them play ball. We still
need to stick with the you know, the high completion rates,
that the defense, solid defense, But I just feel like
we've got a bit more razzle dazzle in us. We
need to unleash it. All.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Teams aren't going through the middle of us. Our defense
in the middle is really good, it's just the edges,
like we get caught sucking in, jamming in. Don't want
to get caught sucking in oh, never get caught sucking in.
But you know, we seem to our wingers seem to
be turned in a lot of the time, so when
(23:40):
the ball goes around the outside of them, they have
to turn out and then chase.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And they are not going to chase.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And we were chatting a bit about this before when
Nick Meeney got that runaway try. Well, we everything has
a trade off. Our backs run hard out like in
the first three tackles when we get the ball, but
they're not nimble sort of Jason sab carn Perira type.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
We don't speedst it. No, we don't have any out
and out speeds. So I think we talked about this
on the podcast a couple of weeks ago. If I
asked you who how fastest player was and you couldn't
say Luke Metcalfe, I don't know who it is. I
think it's Dylan once he gets going.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, sometimes I'm eternally going, oh, would it be Jazz
maybe or Dylan?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, I mean over ten meters, it's definitely Dylan. And
also we.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I think no one's that sprint like from zero to
one hundred really fast like Dylan once he gets like
the flap up. Well, he's away, but for him to
get to the velocity to have the flap up, it
takes a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, and Marcello is.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
More's hard work orse gran run.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, he's an origin winger as well as my Cello is.
He's a he's a you know, hard nose straight up
the garts kick returned sort of winger.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And Rockerberry had a good break. Actually, yeah, but he's
not out and outspeed stead.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
No, you can tell he's a rugby union player, or
was at least. But look, I think thirty eight is
probably a little higher than I would like it to be.
A couple of brain farts, I think if you take
those away, they scored two tries of the year, so
in my mind, I can shave twelve points off this
and that makes it twenty six twenty four wins.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So do we have both There was a few minutes
when both of them were off at the same time, Yes,
there was. Yeah, so we were playing eleven. We had
a soccer team eleven verse thirteen of the storm, Yeah,
plus the reef plus the reef. At one point but no,
I mean Andrew web still looked really bummed out.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, he didn't have press conference. Mitch Monty was scathing
in his postmatch conference as well. They like, what do
you think is that a couple of individual performances really
let us down in that second half? He just stopped
short of been like Dallan Macello fucked us?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Well, they did, they did, They did because you can't
lose two players, especially not on your edge, because you
can't hide that.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
No, I mean, isn't. Yeah, So anyway, we move on,
We will talk about we'll probably give a bigger preview
of the game when we get closer to it. But
we've got the Tits this weekend Saturday, five pm. The
Titans have not been going very well, but I think
that from memory and I should have checked this. They
beat us last time. Yes, they beat us at home,
(26:39):
so that's but we're going to be going over there.
I believe Seabar Stadium.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The Tits head are pretty bad outing. Yes, without their
star David ffeeda.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yep like scratching. Hopefully still out this week. Not the hard.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The hard thing's going to be seeing how we line up.
I think, yeah, how that back line lines up. I mean,
I'm confident that there's enough young talent.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yes, but well, but what we really need from this?
What is it a round sixteen this weekend? There are
twenty five twenty seven rounds. What we need from here
on out is we need and the best teams will
have this a bit of consistency and continuity through throughout.
That's why we did so well last year. We've had
so much chopping and changing it's hard to get that
(27:28):
continuity going.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
So we need to win. We need to win. What
do we have eight games left?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
No, I'm on that. It's well, we've got two buyers left.
One of our buyers is around twenty seven, which is handy.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So our upcoming games are Titans, Broncos, Dogs, Raiders, Tigers, Eels, Dolphins,
Manly Dog Sharks.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I'm hearing some dog shit teams in there. That fills
me with confidence. We need we I think the cutoff's going.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
To be around thirty two points and we're on fifteen
at the moment. We get four more points from buyers
to nineteen, then we'll need to find thirteen fourteen. We
need to find seven wins.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I don't mind it one.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Two, three, four, seven ninety So basically seven we need
to win seven out of our next ten games if we.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Played the Tigers yet, I don't think we have.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
We play the Tigers in there, So I reckon we
beat the Titans. I reckon we beat the Broncos at home. Yep,
we play the Dogs away. That's a tough game. Fifty
to fifty Raiders away.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I reckon we beat the Raiders. Okay, we beat the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
We beat the Tigers, the Eels at home.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I reckon we can beats.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Then we have the Dolphins away, no Manly away, no
Dogs at home our home. Yeah, I'm probably still gonna
say no, and Sharks away. So we need to given
us five. So we need two more out of that.
So we're going to need Yeah, but there are two.
(29:05):
There are two games in there. I could see us jagging.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, the Bulldogs once.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I just had to see us see the Bulldogs feel
to me like those games that we could either get
touched up or we could put a score on.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, So it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And bear in mind, this is to just get us
into the eight.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But we fired once we get in there.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Oh hell yeah, we're book your tickets. Yeah, it's going
to be literally all right, we're going to actually, yeah,
I got my accommodation. When the tickets come out of
either I'll blind you. Charlie and I when we went
to the Grand Phone last year were actually we got
there and we went.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
The Warriors aren't here because this is a stressfully experience. Yeah,
you know, it was just like fully enjoy the day.
There was no worry.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Rather than just like shitting yourself. James mcconey on the
Super Rugby commentary of the Chiefs was so nervous here
to go make a cup te mid commentary walked off,
Oh I know, I'm a Canes fan and that was depression.
All right, we'll move on, move on, We're gonna take
a quick break. But just before we do, the four
and twenty four pack prize pack is back for this month.
Each month Mad Monday Team of giving away four tickets
(30:14):
to the next home game and four and twenty pive vouchers.
Do not eat those with a knife and fork. We enter.
Just text the monthly keyword to three two three six.
This month the keyword is yum. Oh well why you am? Yeah,
you got it And if you can spell that like die,
texts yum to three two three six to be in
to win quick break, will be back with the stockt
(30:36):
all right, now it is time for the stoker of
the realm. This game was built by I think it
was dan Ganaine that was commentating it as will it
be Jaws or flipper dolphins for his Sharks tonight, jewels
or flipper?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I mean dan Gan Aine's got a great turn of phrase,
but that's not really the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Also was flipper of dolphin.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah okay, but also sharks still have flippers, don't they.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Well, this is the thing. Both teams were doing the
fins up thing on their head when they were scoring,
both the Sharks and the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
That there was because I think it was five years
ago the Sharks almost went with fins up as their slogan,
their slogan catchphrase. Then they were really pissed off when
the Dolphins went with it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, so a bit of a feeling there, But in
the end was a good game. Yeah. The Dolphins as
they want to do. They nibbled around and ate the
liver out of the sharks. That is how dolphins quite
often kill sharks. Thirty points to twenty eight. But it
just it was the ending of this game, genuinely, was
anyone's game right up until the final hurdle, wasn't it?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah? What was what? He went in and felt like
with a minute to go or two minutes ago?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I know, And then they left the clock running to
where it was expired by the time Nico Hines took
his kick, he missed it and in the end thirty points.
Pawn Neck goes a bit out of form? Did he
because I saw this meme doing the rounds this morning.
Did he kick himself out of Origin with that kick?
I think?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I think it was a bit of a full gone conclusion.
Before that, he didn't really offer a lot in Origin.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I mean, you can't.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You can't really judge his Origin stats because he you know,
he played that weird ten minutes at center last year.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
He Ever since he went into that Origin camp, he
seemed a bit out of sorts. He was out and
out the best half back in the comp until a
week before Origin, and.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Sudden he's come off the boil. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
And even in that Dolphins game, he didn't seem to
be fully leading them around the park. She was. The
Dolphins played hard out in that opening twenty minutes. I
thought this is going to be a blowout to the Dolphins.
Yeah yeah, because what that scored four times in twenty
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
The Dolphins look incredible and only their second year. You know,
usually when a new team comes in, you look at
them and go, oh yeah, well, it takes ages to
get a team up and running. Well, not for these guys.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I'll be intrigued to see what happens when Christian Wolf
takes over next year.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yes, although I don't know, I feel like there's enough
momentum that the players have been given opportunities, none more
so than Hammer, who had a Try of the year
kind of candle when he caught the ball five meters
out from his own line and just it was like
John Coowin against Italy. It was like Jared Haynes in
(33:38):
two thousand and nine. Can't find any footage of that
online anymore, but he just carved everyone up out of
nowhere and scored a try down.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I felt like I was watching a heavily sun tan
Christian Callen yea there for a second, you know that
sort of Jen King run, bouncing around out of your
own twenty two No one quite knows where they're going.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Then boom, he's off into the backfield. He has Wheels. Oh,
he's incredible. I think there's some ridiculous stat around how
many tries he's scored. Basically, if he walks onto a
rugby league field, he scores at least one try the
hem and it doesn't matter whether that's an origin could
be for anyone, he's going to score a try. He
has been absolutely outstanding the way that we do the
(34:19):
DELI him. He's not going to win it, but I
think he's probably been arguably the best player in the
league this year.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh absolutely, he and that that's try of the year
is so far.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
The the Sharks, I mean they're falling off, have had
a rough few weeks.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
They are still hovering around the top four Sharks. Fact,
I think they're still in there. I think they've had
a red still.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And the Dolphins are oh yeah, So Penrith Cranala are
on twenty two points and the Dolphins are.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah. I think that they have had a topsy turvy one.
But I think that it's because of the expectations on
them that people think that they're not going to well,
whereas when you actually watch them, they are going well.
They came off the boil for a little bit Trendle's back.
Now moly Tullo is starting to look good. So if
it tallic I has been coming off the beach out.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
They've got the buy this week because they mechanical with mckennison,
Heinz not making orange and they have their full strength side.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, it would be a bit of an advantage.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I just think even Will Tallo does look like he's
back and formert.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yes he is, because for the longest time he was
like one of those super coach guns where he was
putting up these massive scores. Then Trendle went out and
all of a sudden, the ball's not coming down his side.
He starts coming off the boil a little bit. Now
he looks excellent again. And I just think that the
like I said, they've been up and down, when it
comes to the end of the season, I still think
(35:53):
they're going to be there or thereabouts, and it will
only take two or three good performances from Nico Hines
for everyone to say he's back to being one hundred
top of the supercoach by Yeah, how's this for a step.
This is the first Dolphins win in Sydney ever, the
Dolphins ever won, and I think that's by virtue of
the fact that ninety percent of the games are at home.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Oh, I mean, I've been on a rant about this before.
Queensland teams seem to have an awful amount of games
in Queensland.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, pisses me off that they play all the games
at sun Corp. That's not their home. They've got Redford.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I heard one of the on Triple M one of
the Queensland pundits was saying he feels sorry for the
Broncos and they may have taken a loss because they're
a bit travel weary because they had to go to
Sydney this week to play the.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Play the Bunnies.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
When it's like, bro, you've just played like thirteen out
of fourteen games at home. No second court, don't talk
about that to us. I was literally looking at flights
to Sydney just last night. It's a four hour flight
to Sydney. And that's not the dick around time on
either side of a flight either. No, for some reason
it's three hours back and four hours over trade wind.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Well, I don't know. I think that's what they want
you to believe, but I reckon if you look at.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It, they just fling a bit faster or as the
spinning that way, It's.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Not spinning at all. Open your eyes, mate, it's flat.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I was like a saucer. Yeah, that's right, And were
the teacups.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
And they just go a little bit faster on the
way back so that you think that it's actually around.
This is how they keep us down.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Oh man, Like I feel that we've got a whole
podcast about this. I wonder what the Venn diagram of
flat earth is in Rugby League podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Listen. It would look like the Japanese flag. It's just one.
It would look like the one in Zied logo. Because
every time someone just got into hit about it about
a couple of weeks ago, and he was just like, look,
I don't know, just do your own research. All I'm saying,
I love to do your own research. Guys like, no,
(37:56):
I'm not a research guy. There are people that do
the research. Yeah, you know, I'm the talk dumb shit
about sports guys.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Multiple people have done the research.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Also, your tube is not research. Anyway, we digress. That
was an absolute stonker that game. I thought that there
were great games across the weekend as well. It was
a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, I have to say I'd like while we were
talking about the sending off for the Warriors players, I've.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
My heart is with j w H.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yeah, did you see his send off for his tackle
on Sean Lane.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
No, that game was a blow up very early doors
and I stopped watching it. He yeah, I thought he
was rough.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
He was definitely sending you know, they're sending him off
before the tackle happened.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Basically, who did it? Yeah, yeah, you're out mate, out
of here.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
But no, my team's are roosters had when and the
Bunnies look like they're back and forth.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Bunnies are back. I saw this boat turning around a
couple of weeks ago. I brought every Bunny I could
afford into my super coach team. I just think they
are a good team. We've forgotten about it because they
had a shitt to start the season. The second coach,
the whole thing. I think. I think they're going to
be very good for this because.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
They do have like a top four roster once they
get their side.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
But absolutely, Clauna Toungy has been excellent.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Colaonma Tungy the last couple of weeks has been on fire.
Latrelle is back to actually doing effort plays where he's
doing hard RUMs.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
He's pissed off and he needs that, but he's.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Not You know how Cody and Latrell can do pissed
off but they end up just doing brain farts and
getting sent off. Yeah, he's pissed off but focused. And
to be honest, Cody Walker's got to be putting his
hand up for Origin.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
He is so good close to the line. Well, they've
just announced their team. We'll go through it in a minute,
but he has missed out, which is a little bit
disappointing for poor Cody. So you're right though they he
should be in contention, particularly with the harves crisis that
they've got going on.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
So it wouldn't surprise me. It feels like, looking at
the outside kind of pretty much. I reckon Paramatta Even then,
ty So Tigers and Gold Coast, the other sort of
nine to fifteen could all go on a run and
make the eight.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Tigers Titans eels. Yeah. Yeah, there's a bit of parody
in the league this year. It's quite good. Oh, this
is why you've got to love your rugby league.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, is that any team can beat any team on
their day. Look what the Tigers beat the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Remember, yeah, yeah, it was a couple of years ago.
I actually won a lot of money off that one.
It was just like Battle of the Big Big Cats.
I can see it going one way. Look, we talked
about the state of origon just before they have announced
the Blues team. The new South Wales team is out.
We've also received a little bit of mail on the
Queensland team. Now this is take it with the grain
(40:50):
of salt. Probably by the time you listen to this podcast,
you might actually know who is in that Maroon's team.
But we're gonna we're gonna take it as gospel and
so we're gonna we're gonna dive. It's from a very
rebutable source, the notorious Pantsman Joel Harrison. So we're going
to take a quick break. We'll come back and whip
through those teams.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
We've just had a quick break for Dye to make
a few phone calls. He's talked to some of the
people he's connected with over there in the Queensland set
up and he's got the team list for the Morons.
I think we'll go. Do you want to go Blues first? Yeah?
Blues first, babe? All right, let's go Blues first. So
the squad list for game two reads thusly, Dylan Edwards
back in at the number one.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Jersey, So Teddy falls out.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Teddy falls out, and I think that's Madge saying, look,
I was right in picking Dylan Edwards. He's still the
best player. He was just injured.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Imagine if he gets a quid injury in training again
and Teddy comes back and Brian Tore retains his number
two jerseys, no controversy there. He's an absolute weapon. Stephen
Crichton man and a match for the Blues losing. So
Stephen Crochton has been one of the best players this season.
He is absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
This is big.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Latrell Mitchell has been called in it sent it had
to happen, It had to had to happen. The talk was,
it's like how I think. I mean, I'll use a
black Caps, which is a poor example. At the moment
when you pick a side, you pick who don't you
want bowling at you. I don't want like Lockie Ferguson
bowling at me, you know, I do not want Latrell
(42:19):
in big games running at me. And Latrell's the one
who Latrell's the one who mate will actually win a
game single handedly.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yeah, yeah, he will. I think their coach whose name
escapes me now because the second manage McGuire, no, no, no,
the Rabbits Ben Hornby being Hornby. Yeah, career interim head coach.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
He's up for delim interim coach of the year every year.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
He was saying, Look, I don't know who they're going
to pick. All I know is I would hate to
have Latrell lining up opposite me. And I was like,
that's exactly.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Don't ever think so Latrell's going to be up against
Vale Holmes. It's a juicy match out. Oh and that's
the last thing that bel Holmes wants to see. Zach
Lomax retains his jursey. I mean, he's having a year.
He's having an absolute bumper year. Is someone whom I
never really liked as a player. I'm coming around to.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Him same here and I'm like, what is going on
with the Dragons that he wants out? Hunt wants out?
Hunt's just resigned. Lomax is playing the season of his
life as Lomax.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Gonna do you think he'll agitate to backflip and stay
at the Dragons.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
The Dragons are doing a hell.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Of a lot better than Power are at the moment
they are. I just just a sideline this with I
was thinking of Power Isia Papalei. You go into Penrith.
He's going to be a weapon at Penrith.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, yeah, he will be. And again he's the same
Alkato theory if he wouldn't have done that if he
stayed with us. But we digress. Jerome Lewite and at
number six Mitchell Moses is in now.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
So interesting here Jerome Leway and Moses in the halves
and it goes out. I would have been tempted to
put Jerome Lewie at the halfback.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Spot and put Cody Walker in yes one, because.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Cody and Latrelle have that like telepathic yes.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Yeah, play together vulcan mind meld. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
However, Moses has an epic kicking game and that's what
the Blues.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Lack, yes in game one. And I just feel like,
if I'm a new South Welshman, I don't want Jerome
Lewi as my halfback in state of origin, you know
what I mean? I don't know. I can't put my
finger on exactly what it is, but that doesn't fill
me with comforce.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I mean, that's a great half's parent.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
It is. Jake Travoyevitch will wear the captain's armband again.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Reese Robson, John Bereenthal, Reee Robinson looks a lot like
John Breenthal who played the Punisher.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the guy you're talking about.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, he's and Reese Robson. He made like forty five
tackles or something in that first Origin.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
He's been excellent. Pain hears will be on the other
side of the scrum. Liam Martin, Angus Crichton, Cameron Murray's. Yeah,
he's been out with injury for quite a while. He's
just straight back into the team there, Isaiah, you will
come off the bench, so will Homali Alakuwatu, Spencer Lenu
and at eighteenth man this week, meaning he will not
play for the Warriors this weekend. Mitchell Barnett, No, great
(45:28):
for him, disappointed for us. Great for him.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
It sort of means you might have a freshen up
week if he doesn't play.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
He played amazing for us.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
As if you haven't heard the news, he's re signed
for two more years at the Warriors. He's loved his
time over here. He doesn't think he's done all he
wants to do at the Warriors match. Yes, win us
a comp he is, he's I mean, he deserves its
spot now. I hope he actually gets some game time.
(45:59):
Looking at this side though, that's a weapon of a
forward pack and a bench.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Oh yeah, Ken mckinness isn't even in there. He's nineteenth man.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
I'm glad to see Connor Watson in there. I think
he's had a really good year for the Roosters.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Yes, oh sorry, it's skipped over him. I thought Connor
Watson was great. How about this that he missed all
of last year with an injury. He started this year
in New South Wales Cup and now he's playing State
of Origin in game two. He has been excellent. If
you haven't been watching the Roosters, he's been coming off
the bench for them and he has been incredible.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
He plays with so much energy. I think if they
can string it together. Granted it's very hard to tell
exactly where the Blues.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Are at as that game was lost with this sending off.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Yeah, so now it's going to be a cracker of
a game. So here is the Queensland team for State
of Origin Game two. Reese Walsh has been cleared of concussion.
He'll be starting at fullback. Xavier Coats on the wing
with Murray Tar Lungey, Valentine Holmes and the Hammer Hammersodabi
(47:09):
Fido in the centers, Tom Dead and Daily, Cherry Evans
and Halves. Reuben Cotter at prop with Lindsay Collins, Ben
Hunt playing nine, Jaden Sewer, Jeremiah nan I, Pat Carrigan.
The bench is Harry Grant, Mofotwaca for Less, kou Fusi
(47:30):
and Kirk cape Wise.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Kurt cap wells in it's seventeen.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Well, he's been out for about six weeks, it seems
for the Warriors. He comes back in plays about seven
minutes on the weekend and now he's straight into Origin.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah, not saying not saying he was ever bad at
the Warriors, but it's not like he blew the doors off. No.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
But I think this is what the Maroons do so well,
is that they pick Origin players and they feel like
they are building a Maroons team. Does the Blues to
me feel like they're picking an all star team every year?
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Seek Cate Well at seventeen, what the Smack's of is
like Maroons get out to a bit of a lead
and then they bring on players like Cape Warre who
will just tackle everything. He'll just shut the middle down.
The Extended Squad eighteen is Origin Gags, Dane Gago nineteen
(48:21):
is the Helium Balloon, Halem Luky Haleem Luky Well and
Trent Loro Lero Well. I would that's a surprise.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Helen Luky is a surprise. He was excellent to start
the season, had some sort of horrific injury and then
came back just a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Again, but he had a pretty middling game against US.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yeah, but again, I just I just feel like they
are building. They play like they are the Australian team,
and they're building for the future, and they're bringing dudes through.
And if you had the jersey last year, that means
a lot. We want to bring you back in because
of that. And I think that DCE at the Helm,
you know, brings a lot of money to that.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
TCE is dripping mana like he seems to just get
better and better and better. But he's thirty three, thirty four.
He looks like he's comfortably got a couple of years
left in it.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
That Yeah, it is epic.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
I mean the Blues they're playing in Melbourne must win
game or we go to a dead rubber. So Madge
is just throwing everything at the wall to win this.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
I don't know. I don't think he has I don't
think he has. No. I still can't see why Spencer
lien You deserves a spot over Mitch Barnette. That's insane
to me. Yeah, I mean Spencer en You.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
I think he definitely changed the vibe in that game
won when he came on. You know how, He's got
the big flaring eyes. He freaks the shit out of people. Well,
Mitch Burnette, these people of suiting. Yeah, I feel Mitch
Barnett is more of an origin place.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
So do I. That's exactly what I was gonna say. Yes,
I think he is too. Like he's just sturdy drop
on a dairy farm in New South Wales. What are
we talking about?
Speaker 2 (50:19):
He just get the adder between the fingers, yeah, you know,
and just get.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Out base to tip, base to tip exactly.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Just fully unpasteurized, unpasteurized.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Try scoring do your own research on unpasturized milk as well.
I'm just saying this is the kind of God.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Literally, only eight out of ten people die from it, Like,
so what's wrong with it?
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Drink it?
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Man.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
When they passed it, they take out all the nutrients
that make your bones grow strong. So they it's what
they don't want you to know. That's what Big Dairy
doesn't want you to know.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
I feel the Internet has just caused more controversy than
actually ironing facts out.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
But I do think that he is a new South Welsh.
You know, Madge was talking about all the stuff that
they're going to go up in the Blue Mountains and
take it back, get it away from the city, get
it away from lattes and Bondai. If that's what you're
gonna do, then Mitch Barnett is the man you need
in your team. Yeah. But having said that, I don't
think the Blues are going to win this. I think
this could even best.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
No, you're never going to lose money betting on Queensland consistently,
No you're not.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
And so that's how I think that one's going to
play out. That is next Wednesday at the god awful
time of ten o'clock. But we'll be commentating one.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
Which also ends up to really actually be quarter past ten,
but ten past ten, quarter past ten by the time.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Easily it is a week ruin of Origin because buddy
and you just bugged for the rest of the week.
I'd had a long.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Day before the Origin call last time, and.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Then I got home and you're all.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
You're still a bit fizzing, yes, just from calling a game.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
Get home.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
It's like twenty past twelve, and it's like it's Thursday
tomorrow and I have stuff at like eight point thirty
to do.
Speaker 1 (51:58):
Yeah, and then you just you're in bed at one
o'clock watching Origin berths on YouTube, Like I'm not getting
to sleep right off the night. So yeah, so yeah,
we'll be commentating that. We'll be commentating the Warriors Saturday
five o'clock against the Tests. We'll be back on Thursday
for another episode of the Mad Monday podcast. Thank you
very much, Die very much.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Enjoy Enjoy your week Australia with
Speaker 1 (52:30):
Australia with It.
