Speaker 1 (00:12):
I heard podcasts, year more kiss podcasts, playlists and listen
live on The Freeheart.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Robin and Kidd Now with Cory the podcast it's Origin time.
We've got the women's State of Origin game tonight. That's
going to be a cracker.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
No, no, absolutely not, Corey, No nervous.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
We know we gave you this job to name your
Queensland State of Origin team before the selector's name it.
One of the selectors of which is your father and
lrd GEN chairman of You don't envy him having done
this to got me? Yeah, it's hard, it's hard.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
It's it's really hard, and that they have a fair
few phone calls and meetings obviously months prior.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
So okay, so let's name your seven. Who is going
to be in the Queensland State of Origin team?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, well, I've gone Ponger at number one, at one two.
This is hard. I believe they'll pick Murray to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
How long you Yep, he's a cowboy.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, and I think I believe Cobbo deserves the spot.
I think they'll pick Murray.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
So he's not on the team.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Now, that's that figured that to be the one you
would have thought.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
He's the one that I think he's the Bronco teammate
of yours that's going to be Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
And he's playing good.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, you think Murray is going to get the spot.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, but I'd love Cobbo because he's playing great, and
he's changed a lot, and he's training hard, and he's so.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Fit, so and he's adaptable. He can put it back anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
If he does, yeah, I'll be happy. But the team
I went, I went three Veal four Yep as the
other winger, and then I went Monster at six, Dally
Cherry Evans seven and captain okay, Tino eight, Harry Grant nine,
tins That's what I just said, Tina, Okay, well done, Yes,

(02:04):
Harry Grant nine, Ruben Cotter ten, Jeremy and I eleven
Tommy Gilbert. I put in the back row because he's
playing great and the start of the game is really
it's it's big, it's it's it's hard, and he's played
before and you know he's he's actually a good back
row and I think during the game they can swap

(02:27):
him in the middle and bring on.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I'll get through it.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I went Patty Carrigan lock and then did and joy
a row modified Awacre bo Firma, Okay, And that's why
I'd put both into the back row for Gilbert at
some stage, and then Gilbert could be a you know,
a lock or a middle and I just think there's
a lot of league speed and size and experience.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
On that side. So there's just seventeen. So obviously now
Ben Hunt is injured. That's why he wasn't even in
your thoughts. There's a few boys that Walsh is injured
as well.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, and Lindsay Collins also, I'd put him in every
day of the week if he if he played the
whole start of the season.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Because he's a great player.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's just he's had a bad run and I don't
know how he's how he is.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
That's also I can tell you that I just googled
who Camon Smith has names? Yes, and pretty you have
named exactly the same team but in different places. So
number two he put Xavier Coats, number three he put
Valentine Homes and then number five was Murray.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
They're just the other wings I'm trying about. The numbers
are different, but the positions as.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
The rest the same, the same.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Everything else is exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Like an immortal.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
But what I will ask, right, what is it that
you're picking? Is it the picking the performance for that
one person or are you picking the fact that the
team as a whole will gel personality with speed, with
all that sort of.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
All of it, yeah, performance, but their personality, to be honest,
all quints, like most quints and teams are best mate,
but they all all are like there's never been a
camp or anything I've been a part of where they're not.
And even if you're a brand new person, what.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
About an outlawer? Is there every there is an outlier
that you're sort of not really?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
And how does our team this year compared to New South.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Wales has always had a great side, They've always got
a lot to pick from too, But I just I
believe our team is still, you know, a better team
just overall because of I guess, playing together, what they
how they how they perform together, and it's been proven
over the years. So I think you know, both teams

(04:51):
this year are going to be pretty even, pretty evenly
and it's going to be a cracking game, to be honest.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
So should we ring your father in law?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
And if he agrees with it, just tell me to
stick to my day job.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It always do well. We're got we will put We'll
put this list up on our Instagram and Facebook. Will
also break it down a bit more on the podcast today,
but then let's see how it compares to Jean's full
