Speaker 8 (02:03):
I disappointedly lost against the Dogs. I think they were
the better team on the day. I think the comeback
was great. There was some inspiring efforts in the game.
TV Couchman unbelievable seventy minutes of prop and little when
he came one, he just looked fantastic as well too,
So I think there's a lot of positives to take

(02:27):
out of the game. And yeah, so but my second
show back so for this year, So looking forward to
it season as well too, and hopefully we make the
top eight of course.

Speaker 7 (02:39):

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I've always surprised him. All week I was hearing about
we're going to smash you dragons and a good this year.
And it was an armbreshel in the beginning, and then
all of a sudden they started to get away, but
we made them down. Our ability to come back it
was pretty good. So I think we'll surprise if you

(03:03):
people this year.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, we will surprise a few people this year, I think.

Speaker 7 (03:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (03:12):
And is a sharp shooter as a goalkicker, as we know. Uh,
he missed a couple of kicks we thought he'd normally
get as well too, so I think the scoreline could
have even been closer.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
And maybe too, think if we kicked straight.

Speaker 9 (03:26):
Maybe a couple of those we want got the chocolates.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
H Yeah, last year we had a lapse in our
goalkicking as world, didn't we from that player, I will
not winch you. Yeah, but it would have been a
lot close, It would have been a lot different. A
couple of their couple of their tries were quite quite easy,
quite solid. So yeah, the two two tries, they were just.

Speaker 9 (03:57):
Up on the similar defense that we've seen the past.
Probably he is est.

Behind enemy lines.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Well, we don't dragons fans on Big Tea and this

Speaker 7 (10:05):
We haven't got a guest this week.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
We didn't have someone coming on, but they pulled out
the suit this afternoon. So I'll just ask these guys
the questions I've got for the South Sydney fan, and
they can ask him and answer them, or being sarcastic,
can play around with him.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Ah.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
Joe Gray at the back is a good little player.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Joe Gray, Isaiah Tass and debutante Bailey Bentley hate Yea
on the wings, Fritcher, Miles and camc Graham in the centers,
Walker and Humphreys other has what's that Humphreys fellow.

Speaker 3 (10:36):

Speaker 3 (11:04):

Speaker 6 (11:05):
Lewis dog comes back. Humphreys kept this spot. Lewis still
comes back. Host Fletcher and Penatani any relation Penatani? Then
Jess brother brother, There we go. That's brother to who Ti?

Speaker 4 (11:22):
There you go?

Speaker 6 (11:23):
All right?

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Then to the South. Yeah, we'll come back to that question.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Ellie Well, I was gonna ask him what what his
thoughts were on the South Sydney versus the the Bennett
Cursed Dolphins.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Was I thought they didn't play that very very well.
They didn't. They were up and down. Look where were
we were up and down? All game? They were up
and down.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
So my my thing on the game though, they were
lucky to beat the Dove Nestley, so they couldn't get
there shaped for it either. So yeah, I asked just
this one Jamie Hupper and he's kept the kept the
spot over Lewis Dodd.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Do you think his performance last week deserve that.

Speaker 10 (12:24):
He was probably one of the best players on the park.
And yeah, the way he kicked his kicking game really
controlled it. And they just kept coming, the Bunnies on
on Friday Night and yeah they And he can kick
goals too. He can kick some good goals from from
tough conversions from tough positions as well. So he looks

(12:44):
like he's going to be a good player. And yeah,
he continues this. Yeah he's got he's the number seventies.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
Yeah, I believer lost dog was dropped by Saint Helen's
after he signed with the with the Buddies, wasn't he
was dropped to the reserve both side.

Speaker 10 (13:00):
Yeah, if I.

Speaker 8 (13:00):
Remember rightly anyway, infacted two big t Yeah, Wayne Bennett
doesn't mock around. If you noticed the charity shield, he
got a bench for the whole second half, Lewist, so
he was he wasn't impressed.

Speaker 9 (13:16):
Waynette, what he saw from lowis for the first half.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
So to me, stay with you, with you Rob the comments,
thanks mate, Now the trail that Rob, this is for you.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
Matroll. No Murray, no Johnson, no Monroe, whitens out, Dodd
came back. They bring in Fletcher. Fletcher Myers played five games.
Maylee Bentley hate his debut game, but last week he
scored two tries and kicked three goals in when they
beat them beat mainly last week, I think.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
Jamie hun for his second game running the team.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
What do you what does the Souse lose losing all
those players and what are the new players bring to
the team.

Speaker 8 (14:05):
Well, they lose a lot of experience, to lose a
lot of you know, depth, new players bringing enthusiasm a
cause I go to the game, and I also look
at the Wayne.

Speaker 9 (14:16):
Bennett factor, which Jess would probably agree with, I'm sure.

Speaker 8 (14:19):
And Dasa mentioned before the surprise in the South, you
know side that they might be surprising to us.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
They might you know, they might ever turn out.

Speaker 9 (14:34):
And a game plan.

Speaker 8 (14:35):
Vennet's very good game plan, so I'm not expecting an
easy game. But mate, I just think that the Dragons
should be winning by at least twenty from what we
see on paper. And you know, to me, that's that's
how I look at the game. I think we're far
superior across the park.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Uh And yes, since.

Speaker 8 (15:02):
Definitely when you've got all those new players in your team,
it's always difficult.

Speaker 9 (15:08):
There's pressure on.

Speaker 8 (15:11):
But yeah, I mean again the Wayne Bennett thing. And look,
if Katie Walker has an absolute blind, you never know.
But I just think George me way too strongly. And
maybe I've got the red and white eye eyes gone,
but I don't know. I just don't see anything less
than twenty points and I know we can score points.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Think about Wayne Bennett is like he's the master at
getting an average player to do a job, to know
his role, fit into a system, and just do that role.
And that's what he does. Yeah, he might run the
same play over and over and over again, but it'll
be consistent and each player nazis role. So that's what
worries me about South.

Speaker 10 (15:53):
They won their win. They won their game against the
Dolphins on defense. And that's that's the fact that Bennet's teams.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
They're always defensive teams. When Bennett teams, they're always really
good at their defense. So yeah, I'm a little bit worried.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
I'll stay with you.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
Stay with you, youngie. Das says on the screen, Sash
looked clunky last week. Did you watch the game last
South game last week? I did, Sas looked clunky last week.
Forward forwards when overly dominant, like an experience of the
back line. Yeah, where where does the well? Where's souths

(16:32):
going to attack the dragons? Where are they going to?
Where the where's the firepayer going to come from?

Speaker 4 (16:39):
I reckon they're going to try and test their wings,
particularly down our left side. Figures down the left is
a few mistakes and he likes to rush up out
of the line. So I fully expect Bennett to try
and exploit that the same way Cannery did on the

(16:59):
weekend down down there right side. They caught a short
napping a few times down there, and I kind of
expected that. So that's something we really got to fix, right.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
Scoop, yep, are you there, Scoop?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Are there?

Speaker 7 (17:17):
Scoop?

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Coming to me? Just Scoop? Who the house? What what's
going on there? Who the house? I need to be
wary of in the Dragon's team.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
Oh.

Speaker 14 (17:36):
Fling Junior, of course he can just he's more of
an open attack player now since you don't have you
know who controlling the team around and mean dictator. So
now Junior is more of a la quick passleep three

(17:59):
yourtacking and flowing flowing attacking, putting in and the south.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Nice and I'll stay with you. I'll stay with you,
all right.

I think you know they play round one at Ham
at Coger, you know, two big fan bases.

Speaker 15 (27:55):
That was a sellout. It's good to get back out
of there.

Speaker 16 (27:58):
Obviously, as you mentioned, disappointed not to get the result,
but we'll take our lessons out of that and we
go again.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (28:11):
I think, as you mentioned, made defense is probably one
of the lessons in the improvement that we need to
take out of the game. And you know, just putting
ourselves under too much pressure areas coming out of our
own end was disappointing. I mean, we'll dig focus for
us in the in the first couple of rounds, so
that'll be our focus heading to the house this week.

Speaker 15 (28:37):
Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 16 (28:38):
So, I think that first twenty minutes, the intensity was
definitely there. If you heard the crowd, you felt the crowd,
So it was quite a ding dong there the first
twenty five to thirty minutes.

Speaker 15 (28:47):
So you know, I put it in good stead for
the next couple of weeks.

Speaker 16 (28:56):
Yeah, I think, you know, we get control form, so
you know, first time under game conditions.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
It was a test for us.

Speaker 16 (29:03):
So you know, plenty of improvement for us, you know,
capitalizing on a few things, but yeah, plenty to work on.
But it was not a case okay stuff. Yeah, for sure,
I think you know, that was definitely pleasing that. You know,
we showed that fight to come back and you know,

(29:25):
make a game of it. In the end there we
fell short, but you know there was plenty of resilience
in that last ten or fifteen minute come back however
long it was, and we scored some nice tries, a
few nice line breaks. But as you mentioned before, it's
going to be our defense that needs to turn around,
and you know it's gonna be a win. Is going
to be back off defense.

Speaker 15 (29:49):
Yes, the boys looking forward to playing back here will win.

Speaker 16 (29:52):
Obviously, another one of our hand grounds were based down here,
so we train a lot on the field there, so
you know, lights start well here and.

Speaker 15 (30:01):
You're looking to you know, have a good performance going
into a buy.

Speaker 16 (30:11):
Yeah, I think you know, they completed high last week
against the Dolphins and they keep long and that's exactly
what we didn't do.

Speaker 15 (30:18):
So we've got to match that, you know, bring the.

Speaker 16 (30:21):
Physicality to our game and then play our so the
foot and run out players. So it's gonna be a
big game, the high competing game and looking forward to Yeah,

(30:47):
I think if it's it's work and you stay at it.
But I think you know, every game you play you know,
different edges or through the middle or it changes for
weeks the week and good players find out where that
where you need to play in and that's on the spine.
It's probably on an attack.

Speaker 10 (31:05):
And go after it.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Exactly.

Speaker 10 (31:11):
So Rob, what do you take of what klle flanagan
just said? That is he is he right about our
defense needing to improve if we are going to take
get the two points against SAPs this weekend?

Speaker 9 (31:21):
Well, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 8 (31:22):
I mean obviously there were some tries that were scored
against us that were pretty much just running, but really
ranked tries to be honest with you defensively. So we've
got a really time and days pointing out before as

(31:44):
well to out wide. I think you're going to target
this again, especially for you guys win going to be careful.
I think the other factor to there with the defense
is the kicks. Katie Walker and Humphreys has some exceptional kicks,
especially with the bombs and not just towards the gallas
and it'll be aimed at the wings, so they like

(32:05):
to keep lines, if you know what I mean, Jesse.

Speaker 9 (32:07):
So I think we've got a bit of work to do.

Speaker 8 (32:13):
We've got plenty of points in this but it's the defense.
We really want to win well in this game as well,
so we've got to defend well those so we don't
want points against us.

Speaker 10 (32:24):
Big Ta Maddy Fene a lot of a lot of
it come under a lot of scrutiny for he was
heavily targeted by Matt Burton and he was really restricted
in his what he could do last Saturday. Are you
surprised that flann had decided to stick with him for
this game against Sounds, No, of course, I think.

Speaker 6 (32:44):
I think Feno can be a good player at times,
but last week he didn't get any time at all.
The bombs from pop from from Burton with that high
the players were on top of him every single time.
So he did make over one hundred meters though, So
I think I think stick with him for another week.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
So how he goes. Yeah, I didn't mind Maney last week.

Speaker 10 (33:13):
Dazza. Now we had we had a Jacob Little who
who come on and immediately sparked the team. When he
did come on, he scored that memorable solo try that
was remarkable.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Well, it wasn't just that he was really good, wasn't
he He was.

Speaker 10 (33:32):
A lot of people have suggested that he should be
starting at nine over Damy Cook, what's your taken it
and would you like to see a little use more
effectively or how would you like to see I've cook
a little to use by flannel.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Can they get in used the right way? But you know,
maybe he could use a few extra minutes. You bring
him on, you put hook in at lock. You're can
have two playmakers on the field at the same time
if you want a bit more creativity. So I reckon
it's probably the right mix. It'll it'll work against other
teams and eventually they'll get it right.

Speaker 10 (34:08):
All right, scoop with the season and into Ryan Cashman,
it's a shattering one for him. You must be all
must be very yeah, very young forward breakout season ahead
of him and then that happens to him.

Speaker 14 (34:28):
Yeah, I'm very just devastated. Pas out with a ton
a c l You're hip to be Rookie of the
Year for us.

Speaker 10 (34:41):
He doesn't qualify for rookie years, played too many games.
But mhm, but the man who comes in to replace him, Blake, Lauren,
what are your what are your thoughts on that? Be nice?

Speaker 14 (34:58):
H I'm sorry Black, if you're watching, I'm gonna be honest. Yeah,
I don't see you as a first grade player. I'll
see you more of a better reserve player than the
first grader. We just have juniors in the wings, but

(35:20):
that just needs to have a guard on. Your time
has been much has ended and it's time to give
a juniors to go like. So please don't hate me
or the other panel members on the podcast. It's just
we just have better younger junior players coming up for
the system.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Blocker, Yeah, that's right. You're right, Scoop.

Speaker 10 (35:47):
Remember what we said, be nice, nice.

Speaker 9 (35:56):
This is only twenty six.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
And he's you.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
It's going to turn up on the weekend and go
fuck you.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
You Liam.

Speaker 7 (36:12):
He's going to go Scoop, shut up.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yeah, Blockers. Blockers, prove me wrong.

Speaker 10 (36:19):
But you better not be on Saturday, Scoop.

Speaker 14 (36:24):
I hope he proved me wrong, but if he doesn't,
I don't see him as cent your first grader in
my books.

Speaker 10 (36:32):
Prove me wrong.

Speaker 15 (36:34):
Please Scoop.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Play though, will he actually play or will they pull
a sneaky and throw Dylan.

Speaker 14 (36:46):
Pacific specific tong?

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Well, I just I just got a feeling cach my
pull a sneaky and an eggan or like go in there.
Who does I wouldn't be surprised leave it just before
an hour before kickoff?

Speaker 10 (37:12):
Well, big t. There was an article that came out
yesterday in regards to Lachlan Ilius apparently liking Kintogia really
trained strong. He's been really training strong, and it's if
Lochlan list really doesn't really find his feet, hopefully he
can find it against his former club this week. There's
no better motivation than you one beating old club. But

(37:37):
it's only round.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
I reckon. He's got really good ones.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
He's got a.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Good passing game. I like him. He's going to be
a good like. Coach is trying to bring him through slowly,
but he's got all the signs of being a good player.

Speaker 10 (37:54):
A good If Lachlanlius.

Speaker 17 (37:59):
Like you come in mm hmm oh, it's got to
be three or four weeks in. It's going to be
three or four weeks in. If we're not If we
haven't gonna win after four weeks, well we've got to
buy in the middle of it. But we haven't going
to win after four weeks. Something needs to be changed
and bring a breath of fresh air in.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
Put Ilius back like you did with Sloan last year,
playing playing in the resis And yeah, but I think
Ilius will we'll take off this weekend and show us
what he can do.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
I really think hopefully takes a line on and.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
Yeah, the kicking, most of the kicking last week, but
most of our kicking again again came from forty five
forty from our own line.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Go for the other side, I didn't go.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
You could see that kicking game like Burton was streets
above when it came to kicking pressure and then from
there we just need to hang was what was a
completion rate of like sixty two percent, sixty eight percent,
So you can't win a game. I can't like good yeard,
You're not gonna win.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
So that's that's what it came down to it.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
They just everybody just hang on to the ball, kept
it pretty simple, and they got a white like we
came back at them, but they were just going through
the motions, hanging onto the ball, keeping it pretty simple.
They just look like a football team. That's that was
the difference.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
I was like, someone made a comment before and it's
very pertinent. Burton was not put under much pressure when
he was kicking the ball. So to kick the ball
your time and really honestly almost think about what.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
He was going to do.

Speaker 9 (39:49):
Whereas we were put under pressure every time we're going
to kick the ball.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
We needed someone like a Jack de Bellance just to
bully the ship out of him all game and really
put him off his game, so that what need happened.
It just so it was who was on that roll?

Speaker 9 (40:04):
Yeah, I don't know, but it was it was really poor.

Speaker 8 (40:06):
I don't know how it works, but it was really
poor because he honestly, he looked like he had more
than enough time to launch.

Speaker 9 (40:12):
Those big vombs and you didn't even measured the kicks.

Speaker 8 (40:19):
So you know, that was very disappointing that that side
of the game for me in seeing that, And you
watched this house game and Katie Walker was under a
lot of pressure from the Dolphins.

Speaker 9 (40:29):
If you saw you got to wait some kicks just
in the last minute. So whether we're just not fit
enough in that area, I don't know. I don't get it.

Speaker 8 (40:38):
Well, what are the instructions from the cage, But wouldn't
be a better to try and put pressure on the
on the kicker, especially when he's that good.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Yeah, and we had to kick kick to the corners better.
There was just down someone's throat and then just return
the ball at will.

Speaker 9 (40:57):
It's got to improve. The halfs have to improve this week.

Speaker 10 (40:59):
They have to proof m well you said you said
it yourself as I'm young, but improve as well of
the Wayne Bennett ambush.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
Historically, these guys will turn up. I'm telling you about
what's on paper. You watch. He will have them primed
and they will know their role and they will turn up.
What pants down?

Speaker 9 (41:26):
Just say we're not cocky cocky.

Speaker 10 (41:29):
We don't have a right to be cocky.

Speaker 9 (41:31):
No, I'm just saying, hope we're not cocky.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Respect Yeah, definitely no right to be cocky.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (41:39):
And yeah I'm Tyrol Sloan not named in New South
Wales Cup, but he's in the extended bench. What do
you think of that, scoop? Do you think maybe he
might be a chance of playing first grade?

Speaker 3 (41:53):
What?

Speaker 10 (41:53):
What's the go? Do you think? From Planet Earth?

Speaker 14 (41:57):
I wouldn't be surprised if Slane gets select. Did the
play on the wing? In from Matt Vini on how
vald he went last week? Settled till till game day?
That what happens? What were the dragons fans out there,

(42:18):
don't think the team that we've got at the moment
is going to be named. There might be a few
few rabitt towel with a heart on game days, so
we'll just have to wait and see.

Speaker 10 (42:28):
No pun intended.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
I like, I like, I reckon, I reckon. He's in
New South Wales Cup because coach has got any not
learning that wing role, how to defend as a winger
like he's been. He's been a fullback his whole career,
so he's putting back there to give him time to
learn that role. When you know we're playing up and
in defense, so when to shoot up, when to come

(42:51):
with your center, how to communicate with the inside man?
That will be what.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
You cap.

Speaker 10 (43:03):
He's not playing.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
He didn't get show up.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
Oh god, that's bad.

Speaker 10 (43:14):
Where did you get that one from?

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Sorry, we've got again now we don't know.

Speaker 10 (43:26):
Was lucky to avoid suspension. But Rob, you were at
the game, what did you make of Gooler's first game
in the Red ve And congratulations to him too. He
brings up his hundred NRL game this weekend.

Speaker 9 (43:39):
Look he seems sold to me.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Obviously.

Speaker 8 (43:43):
The reason we saw this big body guy plays a
bit intensity. It's it's more for me when I'm watching
play more pedestrian like he he just does what he
has to do. Maybe he doesn't have the impact of
some of the other props in the comp like we
saw paint Ass Broncos obviously, I mean different player all together,

(44:03):
but I think he's probably a little bit better than
some of our weaker props. But I wouldn't class him as.

Speaker 9 (44:15):
The top prop. But for his first camp of the Dragons,
I thought it was solid enough.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
But yeah, get better.

Speaker 9 (44:25):
He obviously he has had a very good if you
followed his past.

Speaker 8 (44:29):
He's junior regular league's been tops, and his experience as
well too. I mean she's clubs he's played with as well,
So he's only as he's only going to be good
for us and improve as well too. So I just
think if we can get a big body in that
we're talking about, if that happens, I think that'll be
a big, big plus to our pack as well too.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
I meant him to seek when are they going to
unlease Loko? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (44:57):
I love Loko and he puts Johnny Bell says it
and we can see. I mean you read all the stats,
but he puts it in the game. He's not just
this boy who's just all attack. He defends a world too,
and he's gonna bit of a side step and obviously
good an offload as well too. And he's a big bugger.
I mean, he's only going to get bigger. He's only nineteen,

(45:18):
so I mean he might be he's a PAINHSS in
the making. Obviously he ends up being like that because
obviously that's what we need at the Dragons, and.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
He can take two or three defenders with him and
counties so that creates space.

Speaker 9 (45:32):
Without a doubt.

Speaker 8 (45:34):
I mean, there's nothing better than the first experience for him.
I reckon anyway, he's played such a high level of
football reps Australia. He's not It's not like he hasn't played,
you know what, I mean, a decent level previously, and
he's just come from a hard.

Speaker 9 (45:52):
So I mean he's the.

Speaker 8 (45:54):
Time we need, right, we really need need him as
much as we're talking about a blocker before. I believe
Bother has lost a little bit of weight and thinned
out a bit, et cetera. I mean, I'm wishing him
the best, but I still needed a big bopper like
Loco in pack because I think that's what we like,
I really do, compared to some of the other packs

(46:16):
in paying ass and look of the Melbourne Props Leo Thompson.

Speaker 9 (46:21):
I mean, these guys are these guys are massive.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
Well, if there's a point of difference on the weekend,
I think therefore it's probably touch better. Yeah, what do
you I reckon that's where we got beat and that's
where they sort of found us out after that first
twenty or say, before we ran them down.

Speaker 9 (46:44):
Yeah, I agree, Mane.

Speaker 8 (46:46):
We got some cunning plays like Remarney and stuff like that.
You know, Fox Fox around and you can see Little
in what you said before with Little and Cookie, all
the people are a bit up and at the moment
we should be starting.

Speaker 9 (47:01):
Little and not Cookie. But I think Little is an
absolute impact player.

Speaker 8 (47:05):
So whether it's five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, whatever
the period is, but this guy can go and come
on and rip out heart of an opposition within five
minutes and help us score two tries.

Speaker 9 (47:17):
And we really don't have massive X factor do We're talking.

Speaker 8 (47:19):
About LKT just before, and that's the guy who I
think has got some X factor that could come into
halves for us.

Speaker 9 (47:26):
And that's what we lack. We don't have X factor
in our halfs.

Speaker 8 (47:30):
And the guy previously that we had obviously had a
little bit of X factor as an experienced half and
probably not even since the fifteen thy fifteen Premiership and
before that. You sort of like some Mundine and you
know guys like that, could you know they can make
something for nothing to win the game. So you know

(47:52):
he plays that and again and sorry to swap and
change Jesse, but loco he offers that to us, mate,
he could do something the match to get him off
float away and and tried and we scored out of it.
So I think you're gonna blood some of these boys
and keep on blotting him and emphasist with them.

Speaker 10 (48:13):
What And we have discussed Ryan Cashman a bit earlier.
I'm young he his twin brother Toby, didn't have a
bet your eight game seventy minutes, forty seven tackles pretty
much the first time he started an NRL game. How
do you think he'll go? And now that he's got
that under his belt.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
I liked him all last year, even when he was
sent back to reserve grade for a couple of for
a couple of games, those that made me know that
I've raided Tobe Cauchman all last year. I think he's
really good player to make he to get better and
better as the ear goes on, and I think he

(48:51):
might end up sealing that spot long term. Absolutely reminds
me a little bit of Tony Priddle.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
Yeah, very very very sort of role.

Speaker 8 (49:04):
Yeah, and passion and make it just never stops. You know,
his batteries one hundred percent, it doesn't fade away or whatever.
I mean, forty seven tackles have two missed, I believe Jesse. Yeah,
plenty seventy minutes. I mean, that's just unbelievable. He also

(49:24):
a young jack development two days. So rugby as well too,
you know what I mean, And you need to and
Prittle was like there was a rug rugged player, uh
and he'd break an arm for the team.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
You know.

Speaker 9 (49:36):
Toby's the same guy as well too.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
Yeah, he's always hiding the tackle count, so there's always
plenty of work rate with him. Yeah, it's just upside
with tab Coutchman. He's a good player. M hyeah.

Speaker 10 (49:49):
Yeah, and then you look at it the player like, yeah,
that was that was interesting too, like not many front
rollers intoday's game play long minutes, and that that's a
huge advantage to have someone that can play a longole
minutes because that's what you need from your middle forwards.
Isn't that right, Big Tea, he's.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Gonna get him.

Speaker 6 (50:16):
Technical technical issues. I had to go back to the
iPad and how long is that? That's gonna last back
for a little while.

Speaker 10 (50:25):
So we're just talking about Toby Couchman's big stint on
the weekend.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
What seventy minutes he played, didn't he did?

Speaker 4 (50:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (50:35):
Wow, I think he's got that lot funny.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
It's clear, it's clear the intention of.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Doing his job.

Speaker 10 (50:46):
He's our future. He's our big he's our future. I
reckon he's a future.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Both are both the Catsman boys, the cats Men, the
cats Man that's what that's what we call them.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
Ryan.

Speaker 10 (50:57):
Next year.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
We will see right next to you, bigger and better
than ever.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Having said that, Hamish came on, did a really good jobs,
some big hits, high work right for a debut that
was pretty good.

Speaker 10 (51:15):
Yeah, when his first run, as he said, he got
read Marni.

Speaker 14 (51:20):
Mhm, who was the coach Dave Tabe. Casman's debut was
it Hormon, Gregor or g.

Speaker 10 (51:36):
Hm it was Griffin Yep, Yeah, he got a special
dispensation to come into the top thirty. I think he
got him into the top thirty the week of his debut.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
But Flanagan's got him playing better footy.

Speaker 14 (51:51):
Yeah, definitely, I wouldn't be surprised to get from next
week not next week in a fortnight will have Dove,
Clamor and tape the catchman sol pretty much main two forwards.

Speaker 10 (52:05):
A lot of it has to flow under the bridge
first though, for that Tappen scoop.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
Well haven't they If they're gonna they're going to trade him,
they want something in return. So the question is I'm
here and he might be going the rooster say, what
are the roosters given up for that trade?

Speaker 10 (52:24):
Well, the Dragons reportedly have asked they need to pay
the remain of the remaining of what they what He's
already what He's already been paid. So you already because
he's been paid from November to February.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
I would have thought they'd want to play and return
or something.

Speaker 10 (52:43):
Yeah, Well he only really an excited to year extension
or something.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
So because they're looking to get rid of Michael Marlow too,
did he super Michael and a couple of players still,
because you still got that extra spot open, but.

Speaker 10 (53:00):
They need to free someone up if they want to
sign Clamber.

Speaker 4 (53:03):
Yeah, we've got.

Speaker 9 (53:08):
Back into Degson coming, which is very exciting.

Speaker 10 (53:12):
Yeah, so the six, but that's that's a that's a
show for next year.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
What about that you just certainly mentioned.

Speaker 14 (53:28):
Done deal sounds.

Speaker 9 (53:31):
We're getting rid of. I'm talking about players that were
getting we're getting.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
As well too.

Speaker 10 (53:35):
Yes, I get that. I get that has because because
of this South's injury strike. Yeah, I'm sure, If I'm sure,
if if he got picked up by South, I'm sure
Shane Flanney wouldn't stand his way for an opportunity came
up for him.

Speaker 14 (53:54):
So it looks like it's all pretty much prefirned.

Speaker 9 (53:59):
D we rode for a while, there isn't he's out
out the door.

Speaker 14 (54:06):
Michael looks like it's pretty much going to be a
done deal with the roost Francis Molo looks like it's
pretty much a dune deal or go to the roosters,
and Michael could be following suit as well. Three roster spots.

Speaker 10 (54:24):
Not really Dragons related, but I'll chuck this one to you. Anyway.
My last twenty four hours we saw Dylan Brown. He
signed a one point three million dollar dealer season for
ten years to go to Newcastle. Is he worth that young?

Speaker 4 (54:41):
I'm not convinced.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Is it just me?

Speaker 4 (54:43):
Or is I think they got who signed that? Jesus clear?
So let's just put every other half back in the calm.
Then he'd going back to the manager going well, Dylan
Brown's got that, so I'm worth more than him, say,
going and renegotiate me a new contract, because that's that's

(55:06):
ridiculous money for Dylan Brown. That's nuts. Is he that good?

Speaker 9 (55:10):
The highest paid plant?

Speaker 4 (55:14):
He's not Cleary and he's on similar money and how
many years?

Speaker 10 (55:20):
Ten years? The highest deal ever in NRL history, like
the highest steel.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
He's going to put his feet up now, it's make
it through the mats.

Speaker 8 (55:31):
So can you see the halfbacks Nathan Cleary, Jeram Hughes
from Melbourne already there's two strong halfbacks. Somebody will yeah,
Dylan Brown, he's really.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
I'm telling you every half back in the compence now
saying to the manager, go get me better money.

Speaker 8 (55:50):
You know what, dans whoever made that deal in Newcastle
and ten years, I won't even be there in recruit
he mate, they'll be.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
Gone, yeah better, yeah, yeah something.

Speaker 9 (56:08):
It's fantastic to them.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
What does he know that we don't because Peter Sullivan
is he has a history of good signings wherever he goes.

Speaker 14 (56:17):
So may I add something?

Speaker 10 (56:23):
Guys, put your hand up, scoop, Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 14 (56:32):
The talent has been report lots. I'm not sure if
this is going to be true or not, but it
looks like locking Dalvin is Ye're all done but signed
the Paramounter year.

Speaker 9 (56:45):
He's a paragon.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
The Tigers have dropped at their knees. They've just got
Louie and now he's gonna lose ah h.

Speaker 14 (57:01):
But I reckon it's going to happen because Paramounta don't
have the junior halves coming through. They've got a junior hooker,
but halves that's the fun for the halves. They've got
no halves junior horts coming through at the moment. They've
lost both Bla Slangy and Sanders to other clubs and

(57:23):
they don't have juniors coming up.

Speaker 9 (57:27):
On the market.

Speaker 8 (57:28):
November one, right, Jesse, So I mean will obviously now
Dylan Brown leaving, So yeah, they can throw the check book.

Speaker 9 (57:37):
And even they're probably getting, as I said, a para.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
So.

Speaker 8 (57:43):
The Tigers will hate it, but yeah, they probably won't
be to match to match the deal.

Speaker 10 (57:50):
Yeah, like you stay, Dylan Brown? Will I think you're
paying someone? I don't think if you're If you're starting
a team, would Dylan Brown be you by you get?
If I were starting a team tomorrow, the first player
I would probably buy as a playmaker would be Nathan

(58:10):
Clear to build it.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
To build it around.

Speaker 10 (58:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
Yeah, But would Nathan Cleary leave Penrith? But he's dad there.

Speaker 8 (58:21):
He's just tried to sign him on the what's that
it's a real piece of playful with a figure on it, Daz?

Speaker 10 (58:31):
But did you hear what he said? I taught him
everything he knows.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
Yeah, I don't think anyone's getting Nathan Clear. Like Cleary
six or seven years ago probably would up and left,
but things have gone too well at Penrith for him
to up and leave now. I can't see him here,
retire there, might even go to Super League.

Speaker 9 (58:50):
But I think you lost Penrith mate.

Speaker 8 (58:52):
I mean, he's excited to have a new place, come
in to restart things again.

Speaker 9 (58:57):
And trying to win another preship again.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
They've just got so many players coming through, all the young.

Speaker 9 (59:07):
Boys coming through.

Speaker 8 (59:08):
It cleariously there's a challenge to motivate them to do
the same thing as winning a premiership again. So he's
actually really well spoken mate and really knows a lot
about the game, like he's old man. Yeah, so really
really top guy. And he had a handle Gus the
other night in Chanel nine two.

Speaker 9 (59:25):
It was really good.

Speaker 8 (59:26):
So I was tongue in cheek, you know what I
mean with Gus. Got a lot of respect for him,
of course, but but your clearly is so impressive Jesse,
you're wrote man. I mean, if you're going to choose
a player to right now to build a team around,
it's not Dylan Brown, it's Nathan Cleary every day.

Speaker 9 (59:42):
Of the week, big t.

Speaker 10 (59:45):
What's your take on the Dylan Brown and Newcastle? I mean,
that's a lot of stupid who plays who play it.
They're going to have a lot of their cap going
to two players in pong are pong pong was worth
one hundred percent?

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
What do you think they get?

Speaker 6 (01:00:01):
What do you think they're getting the Lea Thompson and
Brydon Bradley Bradley's gone the Raiders.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Thompson's gown the next year touts towards the end.

Speaker 6 (01:00:14):
They've got Jacob sorry Freddy, they've got caps based use,
but two players.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
What's the problem. I've got in about four or five
years after his ten year contract something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
There's big contracts, you know. He's got one up at
the Gold Gold Coast.

Speaker 6 (01:00:36):
Cherry Erens is just finishing up on one that lost
really well for that worked there Fretey, well for Melli
and Cherry Evans.

Speaker 4 (01:00:42):
So I think gold Coase might surprise Canary on the weekend.
They better watch it. I reckon. I smell up set
about Gold Coaster. Actually pretty good look at him on paper,
actually good, good squad and is a big loss for them?

Speaker 14 (01:01:06):
Is well, they do have too, but I see jam
Campbell as a half back Camble the Dragons.

Speaker 10 (01:01:16):
Right, we'll get back and we'll get into.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
Did anyone watched the New South World Cup Corey Allen?
He was really good.

Speaker 9 (01:01:27):
I watched the whole game.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
So it was Ramsey.

Speaker 10 (01:01:33):
This week's captain this week Ramsey put on your cody, Yeah, absolutely, here.

Speaker 14 (01:01:39):
Is the captain of last week for yourself.

Speaker 18 (01:01:44):
Jess, this is still suggesting the captain for the captain
of the new South ost car. I thought it was Ramsey,
but you're saying.

Speaker 9 (01:01:56):
Different, Jesse.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
He wasn't Ramsey.

Speaker 10 (01:01:58):
I thought it was Ramsey, then I didn't really see
it and then and it's a double head of two
this weekend. So if you're heading up to win Stadium
on Saturday afternoon and NRL at three pm, so it
should be a good day of footy at win Stadium.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
Good play.

Speaker 14 (01:02:18):
It's down no no, no, uh, it's up for me.
It was down for me.

Speaker 10 (01:02:31):
Anyway, let's get into our segment where we get all
the viewers involved. So in Big T's behind army lines

(01:03:26):
tonight he will be revealed the biggest ever win for
the Dragons against souths and tonight I'm going to go
a bit more down the same road, but it's a
bit more of a half. So a couple of years ago,
the Dragons scored the most points in a half against
South Sydney in a game at the same venue that
the game will we have today win Dati in Wollongong.

(01:03:49):
That was back in twenty twenty two, so who can
name the halftime score in that game? Where we piled
on so many unanswered points to lead something blot at
halftime against South Sydney back in twenty twenty two. Fire
away in the comments. Let's see how we go.

Speaker 8 (01:04:10):
Scoops looking at his phone already goog lim ito.

Speaker 10 (01:04:16):
You're not allowed to win, Damn.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
I can't recall if ever putt none points for that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
I don't know I did.

Speaker 8 (01:04:26):
I just hate losing the souse for that one point.
It was it twenty eighteen or whoever it was. I
can't remember that we made it through the final or
whatever we lost.

Speaker 10 (01:04:36):
All right, so we do have we do have some
answers that have come from Michael's gone thirty eight nil.
We've got Riley Bay going with twenty six nil.

Speaker 9 (01:04:46):
Relly, that's my son's friend.

Speaker 10 (01:04:48):
Hey, really, Johnny Burke's gone thirty four nil. Not right,
as has Riley Bay. Again, he's had two guesses.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Are you Riley? Oh? Yes, son? Anybody?

Speaker 10 (01:05:06):
But for the second week in a row, well, Tim
Wheatley's thrown in a guess forty four mill beating the
clock t him. But our winner for this evening, you
can you can announce the winner, big t for the
second week in the row, Our winner is.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
Peter Big Peter.

Speaker 9 (01:05:33):
Watching us Scoop? Is your name, Big t Scoop?

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
The sorry full time scoring that game?

Speaker 10 (01:05:46):
Yes, as Chris Homes pointed out, thirty to twelve.

Speaker 4 (01:05:53):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
We didn't score a point in the second half. Nope.

Speaker 10 (01:05:59):
And actually there are still some players from that game
will be involved in Saturday's game. So we have Matt
and that played that game, Moses Sooley, Jack Debellon Blake,
Laurie Jade and Sewer. Oh and actually there's some players
to south that will be playing in that game to
Campbell Graham and you're half back Lochlanius Damie Cook on

(01:06:25):
our team now as well as Localanlius Tavita's Atla ke Komtuney.

Speaker 14 (01:06:32):
Joe Arrow, Neatrol Met.

Speaker 10 (01:06:39):
No, he didn't play the game.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
He was suspended.

Speaker 10 (01:06:43):
Yes, that's the game.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
Is that the game was hooked? Yeah, that's the game.
That's the game. That's the game.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
I hope you don't have a game like that.

Speaker 10 (01:06:51):
And it's his first game him since that night, Big Team.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
Mm hmm, yeah, because he That's what I said all
year long.

Speaker 10 (01:07:06):
On the Sunny Coast.

Speaker 6 (01:07:09):
Against Wayne Bennett. He's going to sell Wayne Betett that
I am a half back and you should.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
Have kept me.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
So he's going to become the dominant playing again.

Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
Again he was he was last week. He's done most
of the kicking and most of the arrangement plays and
can play to his game, you know, like he's gonna show.
He's going to show better that I am a half
back and I should have been your half hopefully takes
a line.

Speaker 10 (01:07:42):
On anyway, Well, let's get into the next segment where
we She's not on tonight, but we'll still go into
it anyway. And there are a few key classes that
has sent through. But let's start. Let's first.

Speaker 7 (01:08:00):
Slugging it out in the middle of the field the Dragons,
but Row is not his blockle.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
It's time to look at the one on one battles
that will decide the game. Will it be the chief
position plays, Will the fight be one out wide or
will it be one up front? Scrap yourself? Hen for ProCon.

Speaker 10 (01:08:33):
Classic, well for tonight, Well, since Coco isn't on tonight,
but well we'll change it to Dazzer's Jewels.

Speaker 9 (01:08:54):
Juice has been through some cake classes.

Speaker 10 (01:08:59):
She thinks you can add some too if you like.
As well Dasa, so she's her key matchups in her opinion,
Valentine Hanes versus Campbell Graham, Cody Walker and Luke China
Law versus Keyon Komtungi. What do your take on those
free matchups? And feel free to add any more for

(01:09:20):
you have some of your own as well.

Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
Yeah, the Vale Holmes one is going to be interesting.
Let's see if we go back to those left side
sweeping plays with King Goto coming up into the line
and hey Sato, he's been canadonized and hopefully Christian goes

(01:09:46):
in for another three.

Speaker 10 (01:09:50):
How big do you think the cal Flanagan and Cody
Walker battle is?

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
Well? He's well, he's going to have to be on
his game. Cody Walker, He's definitely the threat. He's definitely
the man. They've got to shut down half battle for him.
But I'm sure he's up for the challenge.

Speaker 10 (01:10:11):
And Luke and Count Coloma tell you two big bodies.
Bennett does rate highly and a lot of people saying
he looks unfit. What what are your what are your thoughts?

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
He's been playing well. Luke's been going good. He creates
line breaks, it's good. Luch has been going really good one.
The only one who thinks Luke has been playing well.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
I think he's been playing well as well.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
He's been playing good.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
At the moment, but he can't play better.

Speaker 6 (01:10:49):
But once he gets those arms free and he gets
those off lads going, and that's what I want to
see from.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
He doesn't standing and tackle and getting the ball away.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
When exactly right. When he's on the song, he's one
of the best.

Speaker 6 (01:11:06):
Second I was in the game, I reckon and Sue
is not far behind him when he's on his game.
So that's gonna be a great m CAMC Graham again
came M Graham and what was his name? Fletcher Mayers.
Fletcher is going to be up against I think he's
up against was up against Homes I think, so that's.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Going to be a big one. Can Homes.

Speaker 10 (01:11:32):
Graham, as Coco highlighted, was he okay?

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Then, so he'll be I feel sorry is against him
and gets the early ball. Fletcher Mars is in trouble and.

Speaker 10 (01:11:45):
Then against that Bet Bailey Bentley Hapes, So he's in trouble.

Speaker 9 (01:11:55):
Elise and Humphries, you got you got a young guy.
I think he's certain.

Speaker 8 (01:12:00):
Aural appearance in Humphreys is putting his belief here, and
then you've got a redemption story in Ilius who what's
approved how good he can be and he and that
he's that he's definitely a first grade a rural half back.
So that's going to be a good battle that the halves.

Speaker 6 (01:12:20):
Who has a stronger bench, Who has a stronger bench?

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Anybody can.

Speaker 10 (01:12:29):
Heavily duncan Tatyla as we've got little Laurie Tyler Mariner
and Hamish Stewart.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
That's if it stays that way too.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
That's right, exactly right, Laurie.

Speaker 10 (01:12:46):
Nothing. I just he's not that sort of an impact player.
He's not a player that makes an impact. He's more
of a workhorse. Black Larry Raymond and taler Amra can
make an impact. It'll be interesting to see how uses
him this time round. And Hey should look good on debut.
He really got stuck into his work and I Scoop
was a big fan of his.

Speaker 9 (01:13:06):
I am jake him.

Speaker 8 (01:13:08):
Little is X factor written all over him as a
as a sub I mean, as soon as he comes
on and especially if they're a little bit rhythm of art. Honestly, yeah,
he's he's actually I reckon a young cookie Damian Cook.

Speaker 9 (01:13:26):
He looks like that when he plays. You know what
I mean, let's speed.

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
If you look if you look at if you look
at little All through his junior career, he was the man.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
He was the player that was going to be the player,
the players, player of the world, you know, like, but
he got injured, and then he got injured, and then
he got injured. He had three rather large injuries in
his junior junior career. Yeah, we had some big injuries.

Speaker 6 (01:13:53):
So he missed out on his development because I was
saying West West Tiger's saying, he's the man. He's he's
going to be our future. And he's starting to show that.
He showed that on the weekend. He showed that the
end of last year.

Speaker 4 (01:14:08):
Well, I didn't realize he was.

Speaker 9 (01:14:12):
He's sayed little right, I love him that much.

Speaker 8 (01:14:14):
He sayd a little into pen Ortal Melbourne right as
a hooker, and he would look at the place.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
Place that many it's just that that many injuries. That's
cuy like and he's in his progress.

Speaker 4 (01:14:35):
He loved he looked in a baker.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
If he just bleach, you can stay injury free. If
he can stay injury free, I love.

Speaker 6 (01:14:44):
I love.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
When I saw it with the Dragon signed him, I
thought that's fantastic.

Speaker 6 (01:14:48):
I thought he was the Tiger's best best hooker at
the time, and then they went and signed and went
and signed.

Speaker 3 (01:14:56):
Happy Cars yet to go.

Speaker 8 (01:15:01):
He's playing a weaker team at the time as well too.
He's such a standout player. Like I said, you put
him in a stronger team and that's why he's so
good when when he's coming on. So if finally can
work out that fine line between Cook and Little with
the Little is a playing more minutes of Cookie less,
I don't know whatever, but they both can be.

Speaker 9 (01:15:21):
Dynamic in their own right.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
So I like them when they're both on the on
the field at the same time, because yeah, Cook the lock,
you just get a bit of.

Speaker 9 (01:15:32):
It would be good if you could do it, does it?

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
Scoop?

Speaker 14 (01:15:41):
I was gonna ask, do we have any really good
young cookers in our in our lower grades coming through?

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
Is it?

Speaker 14 (01:15:49):
And it's just kind of more hardh and interesting in
case other Doamion Cook or Lidell goes down injured, what.

Speaker 10 (01:15:58):
Kind of Mollison's only on the new so Weales contract
so he can't play.

Speaker 9 (01:16:03):
Card plenty employ as well too.

Speaker 14 (01:16:05):
I have to go that car think and can play
hook car.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
We'll come. Well.

Speaker 10 (01:16:12):
Yeah, that that that try that Jacob Little scored. That
was outstanding. That try scored last. I don't think Damian
Hook scores that now. I don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
That, not at his age.

Speaker 4 (01:16:25):
Now.

Speaker 18 (01:16:25):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
There are plenty of work to do too to get
around the line. So he didn't. It wasn't just speed
like he he stopt the line and it just blitzed him.
So it's good to watch.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
There's a there was probably one player that should have
tackled him.

Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
That was a player that was offside, but then he
would have ten in the bin, but it would have
stopped to try, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
So that guy was stuck between a rock and a harplas.
I can't think who it wasn't he I want to
be playing Hayward.

Speaker 6 (01:16:55):
Yeah, like you should have tackled him, took the ten
minutes in the bin and what would have regrouped and
maybe he wouldn't have scored. So it's a great run
from Little, absolutely fantastic. Right, They've gotta bring him on
earlier late in the first half. Give him a break
at about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:14):
Twenty minute mark, in the second half and then bring
him back on for the last ten.

Speaker 10 (01:17:18):
So now, youngie, there's a lot of been a lot
of talk about Guffo's quite was very quiet on the weekend.
He was solid. Luck he was. He got up the
team too when they were a long way down and
to their credit, they didn't give up even though the
scoreline what was the way it was?

Speaker 4 (01:17:36):
Yep?

Speaker 10 (01:17:37):
Do you think Guffo will get better just learning how
he has to fit into this Dragon side, how what
his role is.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
For sure, that's on. He's had two trolls in one
season game, so he's still fine in his feet, where
what his position is in the team. They're learning about him.
I just think he's even though he's our captain and
he's going any time as well, so I think will

(01:18:04):
be good. He looked really good in the trolls to me,
so I put that down to one bad performance. That's it.

Speaker 10 (01:18:12):
And do you expect more from him on the weekend
now that he's got that first game under his belt.

Speaker 4 (01:18:17):
I think he'll be better for it this weekend against
the Bunnies. Should have a good game, not expecting to
have a good game, but.

Speaker 9 (01:18:23):
To be fair to him as well, Jesse. They are
taking us down that wing.

Speaker 8 (01:18:27):
Yeah, maxt Week big time, and he was really he
was pressured and he wasn't anything it well at all.

Speaker 9 (01:18:34):
So it's almost like had been two or three positions
at once. Yeah, it's very.

Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
Changes. That has been our problem for the last three years,
that left side. And you look at every team that
comes up. They explored us every time without fail. They
go there and it just rains points every time. So
let's see if they fix it this weekend.

Speaker 8 (01:18:59):
What's what's Corey Allen? Like I said, I thought he
can play wing? Is he good defensive?

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
With Corey all he plays on the right. I don't
know if he's played on He was really solid. He
got a couple of tries. Yeah, he was good at
center on the right side.

Speaker 9 (01:19:17):
He's actually helping.

Speaker 8 (01:19:19):
He was talking to Sloane a lot and giving slow points.
And he's played coins I said, worried doesn't he think
as well? So yeah, he's a pretty quality player.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
Ex Queen Leanna, you're hating.

Speaker 10 (01:19:32):
He loves him? Who's that Corey Allen?

Speaker 3 (01:19:38):
I do like Corey.

Speaker 6 (01:19:39):
I thought he was a good signing when he came
last year's come back there he looked quite solid last week.

Speaker 4 (01:19:46):
In the in the Yeah, I was impressed.

Speaker 8 (01:19:49):
That's what I could he fixed out defensive issues if
he played on the wing for getting trial Slane. But
could he could he be a he helped.

Speaker 6 (01:19:59):
To us if he don't forget, don't forget. He's a
queen's name right too. So played State of Origin. So
he's a good player. So if we if we can
get him fit, we can get him into our into
our systems, which for he is, well, I'll give him
a game.

Speaker 10 (01:20:22):
Luke Duckett's got a good point there.

Speaker 4 (01:20:23):
So yeah, well that's the thing about it's not just
what you get us some player, it's his leadership as well,
which we've led. Hunt was an Origin but he's just
wasn't that presence was he? So that's what you get
amount away again.

Speaker 10 (01:20:41):
Yeah, he'll be a bit sweeter about that now than
what Voldemort.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
Didn't that go down?

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
Game? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:20:54):
Jesse with Gutho was there, live mate, honestly high five
thumbs up.

Speaker 6 (01:21:00):
You know he was.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
He was into it.

Speaker 9 (01:21:03):
He doesn't stop talking. He really motivates, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 8 (01:21:07):
Yeah, and he plays the holiday minutes and even if
we suck you trice going, he keeps on competitor.

Speaker 4 (01:21:17):
Yeah, and that's to take a fullback behind the line.
You're organizing the defensive structure. You you be there, you
slide left, you should be there. You're at a position.
That's what you need from your fullback. And yeah, we
haven't had that for a long time.

Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
You're gonna look at the age you gonna look at
the age difference as well.

Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
Twenty nine, Yeah, thirty slid thirty slave twenty.

Speaker 6 (01:21:46):
And you've got to talk to these guys like he's
gotta talk to so he's got to talk about homes,
he's gotta the players games. Yeah, I played over one
hundred games, So it's a little bit daunting. Gonna be
a little bit daunting the Sloan to tell those guys
what to do.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
But that's what he's got to do. That's remember when
I remember when I was playing their coach.

Speaker 6 (01:22:08):
Air Coach was big on that no half back letters around,
and we got called, we got called all the names
under the sun. They come on you, you pigs, get
the ball up, you know, come on, the backs, get
the ball up, you know you pick Come on, pigs,
Come on, pigs. They got us angry, that's what they
fall back has to do to say go there, go there,
go there, go there.

Speaker 10 (01:22:29):
I'm not sure what Lisa Marie Cooper is trying to say.

Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
There gotcha right.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
The six six six side behind him.

Speaker 4 (01:22:43):
That is just me though, But I can't have but
thinking that Gato is going to end up at five.
It's just JUSTI he's going to give He's going to
end up for five eight. I can see it.

Speaker 14 (01:23:00):
What's gonna happen to Planner?

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
That's what I said.

Speaker 10 (01:23:06):
And he was big team.

Speaker 3 (01:23:09):
He must be.

Speaker 6 (01:23:10):
He must be a made of mind because I said ago,
I said, I said there was Jess Calhoun Wire, Maury
Greg Weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
I can't think the other player was. But the four
of them are.

Speaker 6 (01:23:25):
Jesse Gahoune got injured last year. But yeah, but he's
going to be a superstar of the game.

Speaker 10 (01:23:33):
Tom Hazelton just resigned today for three more years as well.

Speaker 4 (01:23:36):
Yes, this is right.

Speaker 6 (01:23:37):
Well that they've got they've got such an abundant I've
got a front row was over there, front round. They've
got a plethora of them.

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
There's a million of.

Speaker 8 (01:23:52):
Them all was the only one and and Donnie obviously
had a high take what he's on my team because
I had at five eight I was completely given everybody
else slain a fullback and the half obviously was funny,
and I thought, I thought the best scenario for the

(01:24:13):
Dragons was to be safe.

Speaker 9 (01:24:16):
With and his experience in the halves.

Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Yeah, I do think there's anything wrong with it. And
you know, I think that's.

Speaker 9 (01:24:24):
Instacter at fullback. You know what I mean that he
can make.

Speaker 10 (01:24:28):
Yeah, the only thing is he can't chime in when
he likes that five.

Speaker 14 (01:24:34):
Well, what's going to happen to this lot? Elios? Then
if does get rid of the five?

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
This?

Speaker 9 (01:24:43):
This is this was pre also too that we selected
our teams.

Speaker 4 (01:24:46):
If you remember, ill we get a few injuries in
the halves, it's destined to happen, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:24:52):
Oh, it's safe for sure, it would be.

Speaker 10 (01:24:58):
He's not there, he's still only he's very green.

Speaker 14 (01:25:01):
Still, we do have I and can tell you if
I can play five eight two.

Speaker 9 (01:25:09):
You've seen what my intone lawis doing. So I mean,
strange things can happen.

Speaker 10 (01:25:17):
You got a fan, rob.

Speaker 3 (01:25:21):
I like it?

Speaker 4 (01:25:22):
Ment or mean? Yeah, man man man.

Speaker 10 (01:25:32):
All right, Well we might go into our predictions with
something we didn't do last week. We'll go through our
NRL tips. Then we'll go to our Dragons tips. So
Thursday nights to open the round. It's at McDonald Jones
Stadium in Newcastle. We've got the Knights of the Dolphins, Rob,
What are your thoughts on this game.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
Made?

Speaker 8 (01:25:52):
I think it could be a dangerous game because the Dolphins,
I honestly thought were better than to us in that
South still got the chocolates, but I think Dolphins can
be better than what they chose the other night. And
I think Newcastle scraped out the line, but I didn't
think they played so into Tigers. So mate, he's a

(01:26:16):
bloody lottery for me, to be honest with you. So
he's out of interest. Is Peter O'Sullivan's son playing Shaun
O'Sullivan for the Dolphins?

Speaker 10 (01:26:28):
Codas back?

Speaker 8 (01:26:32):
Their players are back, So yeah, I reckon Dolphins can
be He's a big difference at home. Only that unless
something like Poland has an absolute blinder or something in
paulse of you know what I mean.

Speaker 10 (01:26:44):
Newcastle?

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 9 (01:26:49):
Yeah, I don't know, it's a few.

Speaker 4 (01:26:51):
The hammer was very quiet, Yeah, so you could see
they weren't getting guided around the park by the half
as well. Yeah, given that he had that's a quiet game.
It just it was he wasn't even there. Yeah, so
I think they'll be better. Yeah, they get a try
track that will be better, that's for sure, Scoop.

Speaker 10 (01:27:13):
Who do you like at this one? The Knights of
the Dolphins?

Speaker 1 (01:27:19):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
Nights? Yeah, nights.

Speaker 10 (01:27:27):
Big to you? More of the same or you're going
with the Dolphins to get their first one of the year.
All the Knights get the chocolates at home?

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
Well, I don't think the Knights were very good last
week against the Tigers. Yeah, they had a win by
two points, but the Tigers mate scratch scratched.

Speaker 6 (01:27:52):
Dolphins were scratchy as well, Like you said, Rob, very scratchy.
Knights were very scratchy. I think the Knights might get
the job. What's up at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Speaker 10 (01:28:04):
I'm going to go with that purely because it's at
home the Knights. The early game on Friday in over
in New Zealand, it's the Warriors who were very disappointing
in bags up against Manly who looked very impressive. Scary, Scoop,

(01:28:27):
what do you think Manly by plenty? All the Warriors
bounced back at home? Manly big team?

Speaker 6 (01:28:42):
Luke Brooks and Cherry Evans are the winners there. Had
a great game last week. Didn't make many mistakes.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
So did you make any mistakes?

Speaker 6 (01:28:56):
He make plenty of mistakes, make plenty of mistakes against
US last year he did six or seven mistakes, it was.

Speaker 4 (01:29:08):
And that bends the line at will just when holy ship.

Speaker 6 (01:29:14):
Yeah, Jake and Tommy they all been the lineback, but
they looked exceptional in the first twenty minutes last week
against the Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (01:29:25):
Nothing could go wrong for them Over in New Zealand.

Speaker 6 (01:29:29):
New Zealand, I've lost I've lost having for Neil Blake
and they've lost Sean Johnson.

Speaker 3 (01:29:34):
Let's they playing two massive losses.

Speaker 10 (01:29:38):
If loss Fisher Harris actually Bisher Harris.

Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
True.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
I don't like saying this, but I think memory might
get the money.

Speaker 4 (01:29:50):
There, big school line. I reckon tee.

Speaker 12 (01:29:54):
Yeah, what was it?

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
It was?

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
It was twenty four Neil after twenty minutes against the Cowboys.

Speaker 10 (01:29:59):
Yeah, they cruised Victor.

Speaker 4 (01:30:02):
Half slatches either, So.

Speaker 9 (01:30:08):
Decline, brob.

Speaker 10 (01:30:10):
What do you think Mainly will continue their run? All
the Warriors bounce back at home.

Speaker 9 (01:30:14):
I think Mainly are just more powerful this year as well, too,
said about Bulldogs of the world drilled mainly just was
so well drilled in the first match right across the
path mate, so and they can be damaging in Jesse.
What's the name of the is it?

Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
He was.

Speaker 8 (01:30:39):
Just a side that poor bugger of the Mandy John Show.
Do you guys they did for that unbelieve? Yeah, I
love I love.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
How telling him to run straight, run up, yeah, run up,
bright come on.

Speaker 4 (01:31:01):
But he pulled up before the hit. You could see
him pull up, so he was he was just going
to get folded when you stop. And then when the
point of being happened, he just got folded. So it's
going to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
I thought he was dead. They want to makeam a legend.
Look he digs in.

Speaker 4 (01:31:25):
If he digs intout the collision, it might have happened
the other way. The other blade might have went flying.

Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
So you'll go to you.

Speaker 4 (01:31:35):
Yeah, manly, I think I flog.

Speaker 10 (01:31:36):
Him another game that could well be flogging too. And
dollars against the Panthers, who are a dollar.

Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
Can I just say at the beginning of the season,
Donny laughed at me when I had the Roosters outside
the eight. The is yeah, I think there is good.
That's That's what I'm saying. They've lost a lot of players,

(01:32:08):
and everyone's talking about them being in the eight. I couldn't.
I couldn't believe people were picking him in the eight.

Speaker 3 (01:32:14):
Before this weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:32:15):
They lost fourteen hundred games in their experience for all
those players that left.

Speaker 4 (01:32:19):
That's my cooling.

Speaker 13 (01:32:22):
In the eight man.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Yeah, ye, Tyrol May is going as well. So they
lost both of their fir hours. Yeah, and jaredy Hargan
put that up there. Just put that up Luke score,
I'm telling you now. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:32:38):
But then the point is Donnie was laughing and I'm like, well,
they've lost all these plays, and are they going to
make the eight.

Speaker 6 (01:32:47):
It's gonna be one of those games you gotta look
at it and go, oh please stop.

Speaker 10 (01:32:51):
They might be They might be fifty. I think ponderful.
Get fifty on them.

Speaker 14 (01:32:57):
Yeah, I'm got a bold protection for this.

Speaker 10 (01:33:04):
Oh wait, you turn scoop, okay does that? What do
you think?

Speaker 4 (01:33:14):
Oh, Pino by plenty, this could be a cricket school. Honestly,
I reckon this could be a cricket school.

Speaker 10 (01:33:21):
M yep. Probably you think the same too.

Speaker 8 (01:33:26):
Absolutely, mate, agree with desert right, Just there's no there's
no other way to look at it.

Speaker 9 (01:33:33):
We'll see that Bruce is there stuffed. They're gone history.

Speaker 10 (01:33:41):
Now go Scoop.

Speaker 14 (01:33:44):
I'm gonna go para hundred to nail.

Speaker 4 (01:33:55):
If you had to know figure the Dragons who record
either Cannary for the biggest score. Let's not go there.

Speaker 9 (01:34:05):
He's everything one hundred nil.

Speaker 4 (01:34:08):
Christ one hundred and that's four points in a Troy.
Back then it was three points at Troy one hundred nil.

Speaker 10 (01:34:16):
Holy shit, I'm going to go Pendriff. I'm not going
to go quite near the Scoop, but I think they
just win, win, win, well, yeah, the Roosters, Yeah, I
just can't see him coming close. The next game will
be us, but we'll we'll get to the last cows
that that we were just talking about them.

Speaker 9 (01:34:34):
Now.

Speaker 10 (01:34:34):
We're very underwhelming against Manly. They were never in the
contest up against the Sharks, who showed some promising signs
against Pendrif in Vegas, go ahead, big tea.

Speaker 6 (01:34:44):
Oh, I'm just gonna say Clifford, Clifford's back, Town, Malolo's back.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
Polo's back and carries back on the extended bench.

Speaker 6 (01:34:52):
So they've got players coming back to Cowboys and missing
missing Clifford and town Moloo last week.

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
Poor poor Thomas Dufty. Oh he got you got a
lesson talked to him in that game and that's terrible.

Speaker 10 (01:35:08):
Knocking around.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
Billy Burns is back of the Donny's favorite player.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
But I think it's up up ups, isn't it?

Speaker 10 (01:35:24):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:35:25):
Stretching it?

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
Hm? Is that where it is good? Oh? Muhammad did
stretching it?

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:35:41):
If it happens, the whole first grade team will get hold,
will be it will be newsworthy everywhere.

Speaker 9 (01:35:57):
But for the rest of the season, Rob, I wouldn't
have a job anymore, and I haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:36:03):
They've lost. We'll go and go back to the Roosters game.
They lost victor this week, so that the big name out, So.

Speaker 9 (01:36:12):
It could be.

Speaker 4 (01:36:13):
I don't know whether it's going to be a hybrid deal.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
Get back to the Sharks and Cowboys with the other games. Yep,
cowboys could I'll give I'll give the Cowboys a chance.

Speaker 4 (01:36:24):
I think the Cows win.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
Scoop.

Speaker 10 (01:36:28):
You like the Cows or you think that the Cows
at home or the Sharks will bounce back? Who gets
their first win of the season.

Speaker 14 (01:36:37):
Sharks did play well against Panora and the Cows did
get flogged against and did the Cawtholan last week. I
can't remember now.

Speaker 4 (01:36:50):
A very clinical mainly.

Speaker 14 (01:36:53):
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go opposite from the rest
of the pan and goes Sharks.

Speaker 10 (01:36:59):
Yeah, I'm going with your scoop Sharks. You reckon that
they're too the.

Speaker 9 (01:37:03):
Sharks up there, they'll be too strong.

Speaker 10 (01:37:08):
I think this should be the game of the round
Saturday ninety in Canbru won't be too cold yet. But
these were two of the impressive sides from round one.
The Raiders up against Dazzer's most hated team, the Broncos.
We'll throw this one to you, Daz. I know how
much you hate the.

Speaker 4 (01:37:25):
Broncos, hate the Broncos with a passion. But I'm tipping
the Broncos. It is too good at the moment. And
even still I reckon, I think the Broncos might win
and win. Well, that'll be too.

Speaker 10 (01:37:47):
Good, Big Tea. Were you impressed with the Raiders in Vegas?

Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
If you can get it the Warriors? They played the
Warriors worries you get too well. This year we're saying
the worries about that. Blake and I picked up James
Fisher Harrison comes back this week, by the way, that
could be a beginning for him. But yeah, yeah, Roncoes

(01:38:16):
simply on what they did to the last week.

Speaker 4 (01:38:22):
Even though Recee wal should be wearing nail polish, they'll
still win.

Speaker 3 (01:38:27):
Probably Y's right.

Speaker 10 (01:38:29):
And Rob's favorite player was looked good in his first
game at Brisbane.

Speaker 8 (01:38:33):
I think I personally think it's a master stroke getting
Ben Hut into Brisbane.

Speaker 3 (01:38:43):
Holy ship.

Speaker 7 (01:38:45):
Yeah him a last year.

Speaker 4 (01:38:47):
I know you were saying it's a master's track.

Speaker 9 (01:38:54):
I think it's a great sign for Risbon Jason signed because.

Speaker 8 (01:39:01):
He's Yeah, he's combination now with Reynolds and the Helps.
And I've noticed now the fullback res Walls will grow
a leg like that he doesn't have.

Speaker 11 (01:39:13):
To take on.

Speaker 4 (01:39:21):
Anymore.

Speaker 9 (01:39:22):
Ye I hated Ben Hunt for what do you dragon
out of the Dragons? I don't know, he's three times.

Speaker 3 (01:39:30):
Week question.

Speaker 4 (01:39:35):
Question would you want him back?

Speaker 18 (01:39:37):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:39:37):
Not?

Speaker 8 (01:39:42):
I mean give me if you give me back right
now to be Nathan Cleary obviously days I agree with you.
I think the Broncos could be a dark horse this
season two. Make your final I really do you know?
And and as a man might come back in my
be a bit of an X fact on myn You
just have to play off the beach we played fourteen,

(01:40:03):
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:40:03):
What I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:40:05):
So the other thing is Ben Hunt in the Broncos team?
Is I met? I think he's a much better Ben
Hunt than what he was with us.

Speaker 10 (01:40:14):
In Brisbane. He's got Adam Reynolds doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:16):
Yeah, that's right, happy here and very s as well.

Speaker 9 (01:40:21):
You've got all these taking weapons in paint.

Speaker 10 (01:40:25):
Yeah, carry and looks in the front row.

Speaker 3 (01:40:31):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:40:32):
Yeah, let's call it for what it is. He's just
a better player in Broncos than what he was with us.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
Fair enough. That's fair enough.

Speaker 10 (01:40:42):
And the Raiders to bring the upset scooping Broncos.

Speaker 14 (01:40:47):
And I'm going out of bowl prediction, guys.

Speaker 9 (01:40:50):
I'm not scolling again.

Speaker 14 (01:40:58):
This might be thats run from public and early retirement.
If he gets injured one more time, been Hunt will
move into the half back roll and you, medically will be.

Speaker 9 (01:41:19):
James Gray has been Hunt's best mate mate, not me.

Speaker 7 (01:41:24):
Wasn't what's that story about James Gray becoming.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
Mascot? What's that story?

Speaker 9 (01:41:31):
Can't mascot made? They found the sort of black dollar
ben Hartney's room.

Speaker 4 (01:41:36):
So have you guys ever been to a Broncos home game.
I used to live in Brisbane for years, and there's
a reason why I hate just I know people say
that Dragons and Bulldog fans are really bad supporters. I
challenge you to go to a Broncos home game and
then talk to me. I considering that shocking.

Speaker 9 (01:42:03):
Tradon's bloody jersey your buggers.

Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
Seriously, here we go. What's the next game? Yes? What's
the next?

Speaker 10 (01:42:11):
Next game is on Sunday?

Speaker 4 (01:42:13):
Where?

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:42:16):
We playing the Spoon Bowl. Is the Eels and the Tigers.
By the way, I'm going to go with the Broncos
in a tight one against the Raiders. I think the
Raiders will give them a game. I like what I
saw from the Raiders, but I think the Broncos will
just get them down there in camera. Tigers Eels will
be four oh five game on at com Bank on Sunday.

(01:42:39):
Rock What do you think? The Eels were very disappointing
what I start to Jason Rose's career as well as
a certain ex Dragons player.

Speaker 8 (01:42:49):
Yeah, I mean, but to be honest, they were coming
up against the team who were just so dominant and
wasn't funny so.

Speaker 9 (01:42:58):
I mean against the less I think maybe they might
never better go. I still see Jerome Lewise a competitor.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
So but in seeing that.

Speaker 8 (01:43:12):
It's always weren't great against the Knights and great either
So again mate, I'm sitting on the fences. Could go
either way this match. But yeah, to be fair to Paramount,
Melbourne were just well, I don't know, there's so many
levels above Melbourne and Paramount huge.

Speaker 4 (01:43:30):
Amount, Yeah, way better. Just too clinical, too well drilled.
Paramounta just clunky and trying to get it together.

Speaker 9 (01:43:39):
Even Bellamy said.

Speaker 8 (01:43:40):
Bellamy said it was he was so pleasantly surprised at
the earned points they scored so for Craig Bella, so
that they must they are.

Speaker 4 (01:43:46):
Really it's because they're a confident team that, like they say,
confidence breeds. You know, they've just got no fear. They're
so well drilled. You can see why Melbourne are a
good team. Yeah, they might tip for the premiership this year.

Speaker 10 (01:44:05):
Yeah, who's going for targets?

Speaker 14 (01:44:12):
Oh I will tigers.

Speaker 9 (01:44:16):
Dream pull him over the line as well.

Speaker 8 (01:44:18):
See hey, Luke Tuckett, send a p and the Donny
bell A belt where you just said about lay and
explain and see what he responds, how you response.

Speaker 9 (01:44:29):
Personal attacks?

Speaker 3 (01:44:32):
Look look at the targets. Look at the targets.

Speaker 10 (01:44:34):
Just tower back dream below.

Speaker 4 (01:44:39):
I'm not convinced Lomax as a center either.

Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
He's not a center at all. He's not.

Speaker 4 (01:44:46):
Play out of his skin because he's a winger. Yeah,
he hasn't accepted. He's in denial.

Speaker 3 (01:44:56):
Anyone else.

Speaker 9 (01:44:58):
Kick a good bomb so you know?

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
Yeah right?

Speaker 14 (01:45:05):
No, Ye, Riley may growing crap up. I'm a dragon
spoiler for and through parent paramount at the worst.

Speaker 10 (01:45:26):
Yes, I think Chris Hans has done the money too.
Have we dodged a ball? Why not signing Jason Ross
as the coach.

Speaker 6 (01:45:36):
It's his first game. He was playing up against his
old coach, his old mate. The old mate knew what
he was going to do, and it looked for halftime.

Speaker 8 (01:45:47):
But I think, to be fair to Christopher Holmes, I
think we need to coach like name for our team
to rebuild our team. You know, we needed we needed
some players like like Gothic coming because we're in Sister.

Speaker 4 (01:46:01):
Where people say critical of Plane. I actually think Plan
is a good coach, But what he's got he's trying
to he's trying to overturn a roster.

Speaker 10 (01:46:11):
It's still not his roster still, that's correct.

Speaker 4 (01:46:15):
Yeah, it's Hook's roster still. So he's trying to fix
this until he can get get the players that he wants,
not only on the market, but the ones coming through.
You're not going to see the dragons you want. So
I'd urge everyone to be patient because he still has
quite a job.

Speaker 8 (01:46:33):
He took five years of I think too, you know,
so it just can't happen in two years. You really
need to make the top four, win a Grand final.

Speaker 4 (01:46:43):
So you want a premiership. He knows what he's doing.

Speaker 9 (01:46:47):
What's the saying Rome was a building today?

Speaker 4 (01:46:50):
Yeah, it's better case and Hook? What the hell were they?

Speaker 3 (01:46:54):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:46:55):
Why did we sign Hook.

Speaker 10 (01:46:58):
In the final game of the round?

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
Is the go.

Speaker 10 (01:47:05):
Ahead, scoop.

Speaker 14 (01:47:09):
I'm also going to say why Plugers are going to
win because after Dylan Brown to drop the bomb show
news on his teammates saying he won't be yet at
the end of the season, I reckon that's why. But
they've all dropped their heads last the previous week because
they already knew that the their fast playmaker is not

(01:47:35):
playing with them from next season onwards. I reckon that's
why they've just saying since five eight it's not going
to be with us after this year, may as well
just give up and just would be able to roster.

Speaker 4 (01:47:52):
Yeah, that's right, Nathan Joy.

Speaker 10 (01:47:54):
Because the final game of the round is that Bellmore
the Bulldogs back to the spiritual home the Titans. They've
had to relocate to Sydney because their grounds under the
underwater mate called Alfred.

Speaker 4 (01:48:12):
Yeah, I'm looking at that game. It's gonna be a
good game. This one.

Speaker 6 (01:48:15):
I seen a failure of their home ground. There's a
meter of the top of the goal. Yeah, the top
of the meter of the top of the post out.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
Of the water. Yeah. Yeah, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (01:48:30):
Wow yeah, wow. Yeah. I've been to that ground many
many times, having lived in Queensland for many years and
going to the Grand and the Goats. It's actually a
really good ground, but it's out in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 10 (01:48:45):
Parkward and the training facility is.

Speaker 3 (01:48:50):
The Grand.

Speaker 4 (01:48:52):
Training facility.

Speaker 3 (01:48:55):
I went out.

Speaker 9 (01:48:56):
I went to broad Beach last year.

Speaker 8 (01:48:58):
I played golf with my son at the Gold of
Course across the road from the from the stadium, and
when we left had a high car and I saw
we saw the sign of two meters, you know, for flood,
and I'm looking at it and said to my son,
two meters there's a flood sign.

Speaker 9 (01:49:13):
There's two freaking hell, you know. And then big t
you just said the gold place. I saw the failure.

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
I was in shock.

Speaker 4 (01:49:21):
Yeah, good ground.

Speaker 3 (01:49:23):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:49:26):
That's incredible, absolutely unbelievable. So Alfred has really smashed people
up there.

Speaker 8 (01:49:34):
So I hope all those people Jesse as well too
in all the New South Wales and Queensland, they can recover.

Speaker 9 (01:49:39):
In their houses and everything, which its going to be
the waters up there.

Speaker 1 (01:49:44):
So.

Speaker 4 (01:49:46):
That's an insurance bill. Holy ship.

Speaker 9 (01:49:49):
Yeah, it's going to be horrendous.

Speaker 10 (01:49:51):
Yeah, all the best to everyone up there to stay safe.
And the water is starting to.

Speaker 4 (01:49:59):
Harding to now, so that's a massive a man a
Dragons fans up in Queensland and Brisbane. Yeah, yeah, everyone
up there, there's a lot of them.

Speaker 10 (01:50:08):
Yeah, I hope you're do unsafe and yeah, I hope
you get your loves back on track very soon. But
in regards to this game for the Bulldogs and the Titans,
and by the way, you're watching the Mad Dragons podcast
proudly sponsored by Complete Warehouse Solutions I'm going to go
with the Bulldogs at home. They're just going to be
too strong. You had a little mate there, Big T.

Speaker 3 (01:50:32):
I have got a little mate here.

Speaker 6 (01:50:34):
I've got my puppy dog, Taz, because he looks like
a Tasmani and it looks like a Tasmanian devils.

Speaker 3 (01:50:44):
Your favorite plan. Next.

Speaker 10 (01:50:45):
He is returned this week, Big T, after a year off.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
He's coming back after an a c L injury. The
Bulldogs gonna worry about the type of a Kenny his
gun playing. Pereira can't. Perreira is a gun Baron Kelly
and Philip Sammy they're pretty good.

Speaker 6 (01:51:10):
Senna's Philip Phillips. Sami is a big big man. And
joej quarterback, five.

Speaker 10 (01:51:17):
Crimson and Camberl and halves.

Speaker 6 (01:51:20):
Yeah interesting, this one a good games and they've got
Reagan Campbell you are making his making his own debut.

Speaker 10 (01:51:29):
Yeah, it's interesting that David de has been named on
the bench.

Speaker 4 (01:51:34):
What's that interesting?

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Player, isn't he he's got you're playing for the beach.

Speaker 4 (01:51:42):
It's the player.

Speaker 3 (01:51:43):
Is front both off the bench, off the second round.

Speaker 10 (01:51:47):
So yeah, I like the bar scoop.

Speaker 14 (01:51:59):
Yeah to home, Rob. The Titans players will be having
their families in their minds.

Speaker 8 (01:52:10):
Because I think the Bulldogs win as good as what
they were last year against a Darians. I don't think
we were that good as what we could have been.
And I think the Titans have the ability to pull
a hat. And I watched the documentary on your favorite
player just recently. I think it was on Big Tenae,
and he's recovery, cooking back and mate, he looks like

(01:52:30):
he's absolutely on and wants to give back to the
team as captain. So and he sees coming back as
a milestone for him to do something for the team
to win in the second round. So it could be
an upset on the cards. I just didn't think the
Dogs are as good as what we They're well drilled,
but not as good as last season.

Speaker 4 (01:52:50):
Yeah, he's the man to stop.

Speaker 3 (01:52:52):
Yeah, and we didn't put any burden either. No.

Speaker 10 (01:53:03):
The most important game of the weekend though, is our
game at win Stadium in w And Big t you
have some stats to reveal about this game too.

Speaker 6 (01:53:09):
I do have some stats to reveal about this game,
Big Christian ty plot. In his last nine games against Bunnies,
he scored eleven tries. So that's all that's a big one.
Se scored three in his last four games against the Bunnies.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
Dragons.

Speaker 6 (01:53:34):
Dragons, we were leading three for in the last four games.
We won three in the last four, so we're on
top there. My my tips are going to score scored
sport opening Try. He's going to score it all the box.

Speaker 4 (01:53:53):
I don't want to say anything.

Speaker 3 (01:53:54):
That would be nice, that would be nice.

Speaker 4 (01:54:03):
Lot off Larry comes out and has a blinder. I
love it. It's gonna happen, but I love it for uh.

Speaker 6 (01:54:11):
Blake is going to score try anytime because he's scored
in his last long game.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
That's that's.

Speaker 4 (01:54:20):
Certainly scored. Troy. Yeah, he's coming a bit, he's coping
a bit of sheep for it, but he's just he's
just like a high energy player. That's what he does.
It's just the same diasiasm, and it's about trying to
fire up the other players as well, regardless of what
scory is. That's what it's about. He's trying to get

(01:54:41):
the other that's what he does.

Speaker 3 (01:54:43):
I don't know, I don't know why he had so
much rope about it, Like he's a passion full of
energy energy, just like the player.

Speaker 4 (01:54:54):
Yeah, remember the gay the Troy celebrations. Would everyone used
to celebrate the foling pins and yeah, no one to
be talking about it. If everyone's doing that again, he's
just trying to bring it back.

Speaker 6 (01:55:08):
We've got post ride alight. Well he raised money, yeah,
to one of the charities, and that's a great idea.
It should be happening every week. Should be happening every week.
But to score anytime and score the first try, there
you go, thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (01:55:28):
All right, Scoop, you're gonna talk about this could be anything.

Speaker 14 (01:55:44):
He had a shock a week last week. But I'm
gonna go with Matt pen I score a hat trick
and prove US fans wrong on why he should be
in the team. And I'm gonna go with Dragons to
win by thirteen plus.

Speaker 4 (01:56:07):
Durgan Suley is going to have a big game of
PHOENI is having a good game.

Speaker 14 (01:56:12):
I really hope.

Speaker 10 (01:56:13):
So, all right, Rob, what do you think is gonna happen?

Speaker 8 (01:56:19):
Trying to quick I reckon Dragon's bout twenty and maybe
the plus factor. I think they'll be too good. One
of my Draions players is its house and obviously with
the Tigers, I think but I'll probably come on and
do something silly and maybe end up with ten in the.

Speaker 9 (01:56:33):
Bin as well too.

Speaker 8 (01:56:34):
Listen, Scoop, I just got to make a message from
Woodsy around Woods who I know who's at and he
says he's going to get together Blake Laurie and meet
your logano apart and smash this year out here for
block baking out blogger.

Speaker 3 (01:56:49):
So you got two props.

Speaker 10 (01:56:55):
Billy Burns is coming to rob Billy Birds.

Speaker 9 (01:56:59):
Or too ship where as we had the Captain Donny
Bill that at least as well too. But if you
lose some blocker, good luck mate, you deserve. I know
you lost some kg, some kegs and all that.

Speaker 6 (01:57:09):
So I.

Speaker 9 (01:57:12):
Come on, blocker, you're and to be fair, the.

Speaker 8 (01:57:16):
Blocker he wasn't playing in his usual position he played
last season with, so you played him in a different
type of style.

Speaker 9 (01:57:25):
So let's see. Let's see the.

Speaker 8 (01:57:29):
The new blocker. I think he's lost about four five keeks.
So yeah, I think you might surprise this.

Speaker 14 (01:57:37):
Yeah, what's something? Locker proved me wrong? I know I
put it on you.

Speaker 4 (01:57:46):
Speaking of.

Speaker 9 (01:57:48):
Woods, your block are going to come and see the.

Speaker 1 (01:57:58):
Wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:58:01):
Yeah, surely's a weapon. He's a good player. Suly goes good.

Speaker 10 (01:58:06):
What do you think is going to happen down when
we get our first win? Will we have a sellout
like we did at Cogra.

Speaker 4 (01:58:12):
Yeah, I think they'll turn Yeah, they'll turn up. I
reckon the fans will turn up. We're just going to
hope the players turn up. They're going to get that
completion rate right. If we do that, we might win.
I don't know. I don't really know what the score
is going to be. But we can do all the
little things right and everyone knows their role, we'll win.

Speaker 10 (01:58:34):
I'm going to go on n yep, who do you
think is going to be at any time? Try scorer?
If you had to have a stab.

Speaker 4 (01:58:41):
To Piloto to Okay, he's always good for it. Put
your money.

Speaker 10 (01:58:49):
I'm going to go with the dragons at home. Hopefully
there's a big crowd at Wins Stateium. And don't forget
there is Newsophiles cut on twelve thirty as well, so
get that in there early and watch watch the boys.
Katie Ramsey will be leading the signe, which could a
great story to see him back on the field. Question
to a pot, who I think I'm going to go
with Big Ten and Youngie that will be in any time. Tryscorer.

(01:59:11):
I think you'll get a double in this game. I
think the Dragons will win by sixteen.

Speaker 4 (01:59:15):
Yeah, and I think, what little reason do you guys
need to have to get down there? Win this weekend
and pack it out. Let's fill the stadium.
