Really need some help. We've been so many two our threes,
control roughies, get up and and we've.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Got we've got here we go. We're about to be blessed.
We've got a five five game round kicking off on
Thursday nights. So we've got the Sharks taking on the
Dragons seven fifty at Shark Park, and Sharks are red
hot favorites. It's a dollar thirty. Yeah, Dragons are three

(01:23):
fifty five. If they've got more outs, I guess they do.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
They played horrendous last week. Dragons very bad, and they've
got their best players out.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh yeah, well some of their best yeah, oh yeah, two.
Blotto's still gone. Yeah, we were on him as a
tryscore and he looks like he did his hammi.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah straight away, Vals out, Marina's out. Yeah, they got
a fearback. But so Taro's back for the Sharks, Burns
and Iro out.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
But yes, look Sloan's back for the Dragons. So who's
going to win the games? Yeah? I think so.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I've got them by a few dip the Sharks. Yeah,
I'm going to go to aden Plass.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
And how many in there? Multi? How many players we're
putting in any time? Try score?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh? We want to go three if you want.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I feel like we need to. You get the value.
Come on, we're going to have a crack.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well I wasn't even think going to go in too,
but I want to go malt to score two.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Oh do you?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Okay, we don't have to Well yeah, well if we
do that, then we only need one other because that's
effectively like naming two tri scores, unless you I don't
like that's going all right, isn't he He's only scored
one in his last couple Yeah, and I mean I
would have gone on for Ero, but he's out. He's
been so good he must be up.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
There the chart and player.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah all right, So if you're going to go Mulatalo
for two, yeah, and I'll put in we've put him
in the last four weeks for no good reason, so
we've got to keep going with I'm going to put
a nicer Yep.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
It really hurts us.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
He has been brutal for us.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
How I like that.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
And if I was going to put in a roughie,
I'd put in that pays nine fifty. I put in
Gotherson for the for the Dragons, just because I feel
like he plays well.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Crack and the team's going to be down the Alps.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well that throws it up there a bit.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah. Maybe just put a couple of bucks on that one.
Maybe just put for that one. How about we put
in Guffo and we just do Militaro score one one.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, I like it over that, Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Moving on to Friday night football, Gold Coast taken on Manly.
This is the early game, and hang on, it's the only.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Game, only game on Friday, one one two.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
One, Yeah, okay, Manly Red Hot favorites A dollar thirty
one gold Coast of three forty eight, Sabs back, Tommy
Trevoy is back.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, yeahs back. I reckon they go and Titans got out.
They've lost both their starting props of origin.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
So oh my goodness, dead giveaway. Yeah they are now.
So they've got not Tino who's out for Ali. But
there is a brother.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah what's he like?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I don't know much about him.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
He must be that bad. Yeah, Preston's back, which is
yeah Patson. So but that they're all in there because
obviously tin fo Acre big mo. Yes, but look you
look at the ins and the outs. Manly have got
this one. And they've also they have nearly a fualse anxiety.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Man they do yeah, okay, oh yeah, and don't you
know DC is going to have the game life Yeah yeah,
yep man And Kawau was out but I saw he
because he was in the New South Wales squad but
he was only in the sort of in the twenty.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah they'll always go back.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah but no, well he said he actually Withdrew because
he's got a little injury. He's got a bub coming.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh well, there you go.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Second second born hopefully it's around the same time as Origin.
So he said, look, if I'm not going to be
definitely in the nice of him that yeah, yeah, I
think he'll be a triscorer too.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Who if he has his bob definitely yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yes, what happens if the baby happens over the weekend, maybe.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
That's what I mean. You can put him in, have
an different one.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
We'll put him in as a As for now, who
do you like? Like the whole team that everyone from
anyone from the Gold Coaster score.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
It's just too hard. I don't know that with the
two main players out of heart, you just they will
come up with points. I don't know where or how
or how the Many will play, but I think mainly
going to play a really good game of footy because
d C is playing. Yes, you know, they have a
full strength side and it's their chance to really put
one on a team.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
So ye, So who from many?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I've gone Cola?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I like Color was exactly who he was the other
one I wanted. So that's good.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
So I even put to our in and up and
put it.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
So let's go. We'll go a good bet with those two,
will add and we'll add to laur with a little
bit less money and then we'll add say with a
small one.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, yeah, it doesn't pay much to be honest, those
four as fourteen dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's nothing else, Jack.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Anyway, Yeah, I may as well go.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I think that's good.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
We don't nothing else, no true.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
And we'll do that a big win. Okay. So Saturday
first game, Saturday five thirty.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
This is actually crazy.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Roosters nights roosters are a dollar forty three nights to
eighty five.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
They've got Crichton now Angus Crichton, Connor Watson, Lindsay Collins,
Robert Toyer and Spencerlinu right all out and the Inns
Dom Young, Nat Butcher that and why yes, Sam Walker
and doctor Clay like they've just replaced for replace.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
They're just guns for goun. That's that's crazy, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
So hang on Knight's at Buckley's chance they are Sam
war Yeah because Sam or first going back from his
A C L is it like this is crazy?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
And Knights have got Ponger and Frizell out like that stuff.
Don't say that they're in big trouble, but it's in Newcastle,
although they got boot in Newcastle last week they came
back in one.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
No, no, but look, okay, so, so who is going
to score for the roosters, all of them?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's not going to be I reckon. You could still
if you want to value I reckon, you could still
put Fletcher Sharp.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
But from the Knights, they have a crazy good defensive okay,
structure when they want roosters.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
You don't want to put any we can and we
can do a tour. Adam is a roughie, and then
the third man could be for Sharp. Okay, So who
do you like for the roosters, like, really really like,
I mean, you've got to put Mark Mark, Marky Mark.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, where's playing center?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Easy?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, back down?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Do you reckon? It matters, he's gonna score anywhere.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Not with Sam wrk he can do anything that Yeah,
so Marke and Mark.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
You do you like Sammy scoring on his first game back.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I don't care. I'm happy with that. Yeah, yep, that's
not bad. Let's just sharp Sami Walker, Yep, nice Sam Walker,
Marky Mark. He's paying pretty good, just singlely. Just they're
all two dollars at least.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, they are all right. It will be a nice punt. Yeah,
two games on Saturday in there. So the second one
the Cows, Cowboys Dolphins.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
So it's a Queensland matchup, and I Bateman, Robson Cottter
dead and they believe Blay yep, Barns, Clifford, Tom Donald,
Lars until Lai.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Back there back So Murray's playing, Yeah, okay, and then
you've got Brandon Burns. Yeah, they've got They've got some
decent backs.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Dolphins have their two best out yes, and ray Stone
and you guys he was he goes it's from dragons.
He was from Dragons on.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
The twins, the finger.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Probably, I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
So I think it's in your it's in north Queensland's
going all right, but I think the Cowboys will win.
I do too, yeah yeah, and so so try to
score as well.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I got nothing.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's really tough, isn't it. I like, I just actually ga, well,
Jesus playing good. You gotta put Herbie farm Worth and
he scored seven in a row seven in a row,
hadn't he? I think he has. He's definitely scored. He
scored two in the last game.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, he's serve in the row.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Ye all right, So you got to put Herbie in,
don't you.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh yeah, because yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
All right, so that's mine farm Worth, even though I
think the Cowboys will win. Who's who's your cowboy?

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Ummm uh? So have Burns?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah? I like that, Braiden Burnsid Burns me too? And
then what about what about Murray is the thid?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I like that?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
So is he been dropped from Queensland?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Well no, not really because he was injured for the
first one. Yeah, he hasn't played.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh right, that's right, he didn't. He sort of got
named and then he was injured. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's yeah, Okay,
that's interesting because he's been good, he's been for Queensland.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
She's what do your thoughts? No? No, the next game.
I've looked at it. This is crazy. Some of these
squads are incredible.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
What have we got left? Okay? Just Sunday foot So Roosts,
Rabbit O's.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I mean yeah, dogs, Rabbits, Dog Rabbit.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
O's Bulldogs Sunday afternoon. It's a Rabbit O's home game.
But I think at that of course stadiums where the
Doggies played to, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
It's all Sydney teams really everyone.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
So drive Gray's back for the Rabbits. That's big. But
Mitchell's out and Walkers out, Cody Walker, Walkers out, okay,
and then coming in for your drive Grays in. Yeah,
but coming in for the Bulldogs, you've got Wilson's coming,
Serpents coming back, and they've lost man, Burton, King and Crichton.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
That makes that game really hard. Rabbits need to win, though,
they and they just go Rabbits as an upset. Yeah,
rabbit as.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I think I might have tipped the same on my tipping.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Actually, I don't know what. I think. I've gone against
every tip I've picked. I think I'm changing them all.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I think the Rabbits. I think the Rabbits win.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's cool looking at the ins and outs.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, I didn't give you that. Yeah, I think the
Rabbits can win that.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
And so obviously Bulldogs they have their gal Locky. Galvin
had his first game last week. You know, it's interesting.
I saw someone put a post up on I think
it was on Instagram. They're talking about Fox Sports.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Just say that how Fox Sports said the moment of
the round.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
In the round, he scored a double on his most
cap games ever.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
For a prop three hundred and seventeen game.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Most cat player for a Raider and he's a prop
and he's called his first ever double. I think, yeah,
well not first, but a double and converted. That's not
the moment of the round. It's a kid that caused
so much controversy and scored a game in the twenty
minutes and scored a try in the twenty minutes he played.
That was so ridiculous. It's not a joke, Big Papa, he.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Isn't he?

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Actually it actually made me pissed off more and more
I watched it. Yeah, yeah, this is You've just not
even cared or looked at any other game, just the
one that just played.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
And he did it in the middle as well.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
He's in a hard spot anyway.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Anyway. Alex Johnson a j.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
He's going to break the record this year?

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Is he?

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Like?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
All time?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Everyone's ten bine? I think?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Is that right? Who's the number one of all the time?

Speaker 1 (13:15):
What's his name?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
I know Pearls number one for Broncos, but.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, he's like, what's the guy's name? I can't remember.
He'scored like tw hundred and something. He's on two undred
and one?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh really?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Okay, yeah, you'll get there then on Karraz Yeah, okay,
just graz yep, Jacob Jacob Jacob Kraz who thirty is paying?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah? And do we want to throw in another? I reckon?
What about big color my tonguey? Yeah, he scored, he's
the last two and he's paying five bucks.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Or Humphreys he might have a big game.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, okay, throwing a little extra for that one as well.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Maybe if we've got money left, yeah, which we haven't
been lately, never do.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I don't think we even punted on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
It pays one and eleven dollars. Now I had no male. Yeah,
we're out just because but if we've been so many
of his score like paint, Yeah, the ones like four bars,
even five dollars, some of the ones we picked back.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Then, the color of Tongy's scored.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, it was crazy, Yeah, drove us.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
So who's so who's the last one? We add him?
The fourth player? Hum Humphries, who's Jamie Humphries? Oh yeah, okay,
he hasn't scored five weeks.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, but I'm just saying, well, yeah, I just gone back.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
He can score. He can score, Yeah, it's just in
his last five games.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
If he has a big game. If he if they win,
it's because he's had a big game.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
You reckon.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
I'm hoping.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
That's all right. I don't know. Well, we just know
I'm not going to say that loud. If you say
it out loud, then you want.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
To say it for him. And then if we have money,
we'll put.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Gray throwing him into Okay, we're gonna put.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
D if we're there. Yeah, we'll probably put twenty Mouldis
on that game just to see if we can win one.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Because he's back. He's back and he was good for
us earlier scores.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, he's had a bit of a hard run.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
What's was as you know what his injury was? He didn't
never Oh, they just demoted him because Latrell's back. Yeah yeah, Okay,
sorry if this is inappropriate because you told me this
off here. But what do you reckon your your theory
on on bringing stags into the the Blues camp.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh no, I think they're doing it whether or not
there's an injury cloud. If there's not, I reckon, it's
because they want the troll to have a massive game.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
So like, feel the pressure, feel the pressure.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
If we lose, you're probably not going to be in
the next time. It's a theory. Yeah, if it works,
then that's really not good for.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Us, because he can disappear Latrell Yeah, or he can
win win the.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Game easily on his own. Like and Katoni's playing ridiculously
good footing he's ever seen him. And he's as strong
as I've ever seen him. And he's mad and he's
just focused, and I'm like, that is a scary man.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
When he's angry. Yeah, so good when he's like but
he just.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
He knows how to get ready. Now. I feel like
he's his little routine set and he knows how to
get ready for a game because he's playing so consistent.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, speaking of firing people up, what do Queensland do
to fire up the hammer? Because he was absent game
one and he's another player that can win the game
for us if he wants to. But I just how
you fire him up?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
I just think the pressure that I already is enough.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, so you think he will fire up?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, you have to. With that pressure, you have to
fire up. There's no you can't not like everything that
everyone's saying. All the people down South, everyone is just
bagging the shit out of them. Yeah, so that in
itself is enough.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Because I think it has to be him and vale Holmes.
That combo didn't work in game one for mine, and
I think if they don't fire this game, then well.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
They got called. Yeah they got called like, you know,
pretty much not soft. But yeah, well they did. Actually
I think they got called. There was nothing in it,
like they just didn't look angry or fire or anything.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Especially when you look over the other side. You had
Coats who I thought really tried. Yeah, I'm the young
toy who tried hard.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah. So I think all those comments alone is enough
for the team to be fired up like it really is.
And look, it's you know, months his first game as
a captain. Yeah, you know, fire up, make it, make
it one friend for him to remember.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
So yeah, what's the ometrig And can you just give
us our blessing just before we wrap up them?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
May the May, May the punting gods bless us this weekend.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Indeed, come on, gammere responsible
