Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Flavor Podcast Network, the Flavor Breakfast Podcast with Stace,
Azara and Charlie.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
We are being joined by Sky Sports Presenter Broadcast Extraordinaire
Courtney Tidy, Morninger.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Mona Kate the Bear, Great Kate.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I'm very happy today, almost the weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, all my time for another great game. Go Media
Stadium because the Warriors take on the Storm. We can
watch live sky Sport four with Courtney and stream on
sky Sport now. That's from seven o'clock and also some
delay coverage. But Courtney, when we go, this is going
to be a big game, isn't it. This This is
going to be a bit of a tough call.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
This is a huge games. They're sitting the top of
the table, They're on top of the ladder. They played
very well last week. Defensively, they let in quite a
few tries and they coached Craig Bellamy wasn't happy about that.
But on the flip side, they still won and were
able to score a lot of tries. So I think
it's going to test us defensively. Mind you, we played
great last week. We beat the Cowboys up in Townville,

(01:08):
which everyone thought would be a very tough pass and
the team managed to do that. I'm feeling confidence for
this Saturday.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Oh it's going to be exciting too. Sold out at
go Media Stadium and this is you know, the fans are.
I don't want to say more hype about these two teams,
but you know, speaking you know, there's always been a
bit of a ooh the Warriors are playing the Storm,
you know, can you has it always been like that?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
It has. There's a great rivalry between these two sides,
and you're right, everyone loves them. They come together. I'll
take you back to round two and we went and
played the Storm over in Melbourne and we were winning
that game, I think our first heartbreak of this season,
and the Storm they managed to school. I think it
was twelve points in the last two minutes, which is
quite unheard of. Zab A coach scored that try in

(01:59):
the corner. But we've always put a great rivalry with
the Storm. Plus they have a lot of New Zealand
players will go from over here and play at the Storm,
So I think there's always been that connection. And I
know the Storm team they love coming home and playing here.
For those Blues like Jerome Hughes, who's playing in halfback,
this week and up against Sean Johnson, who's been named

(02:20):
at halfback. We haven't seen Infants ground ten because he's
been injured.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now that's what I was going to talk about, Sean
Johnson returning back to the boys.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
What are your thoughts around that him and to Mighty Martin.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I know it's a tough one, isn't it because Tomighty
has been doing so well and he's been the one
leading the team around the park. So I hope that
when Sean comes back, it just adds to that and
Tomighty sort of doesn't take it back a seat role.
I hope he still continues to play the way he
has because I tell you what, he was brilliant last week.
He's been brilliant the last couple of weeks. So I
just hope that they can evenly shed a load and

(02:54):
it will help because that means we'll have two strike
weapons in the Harbs rather than just one.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, okay, looking forward to it. You always help us
be even more hoped. Thank you so much, Courtney, And
remember we're going to see the games so many options
on Sky Sport. Also delayed free coverage on Sky Open
as well, So then I do want to quit Courtney Abi.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
