2:02Timmy Williams with the dogs out. Dogs are out. Great, great year, Ru. Great day. But a great day for many a reason. Yes. To be grew as birthday, mate. Happy birthday. Thank you, my pleasure. Happy birthday, mate. Older, wiser, more handsome. I'm sick and all the bums. Hasn't been, mate. Has the day been so far. It's been good. I had to go and fill out a form for Beck about an hour ago and I walked, she meant me in the car park, I went downstairs, she goes, I just put the date and I saw and I went, do you know what the date is? She's like, I'm very funny and then I wrote the date she goes, let me guess. You wrote 92 instead of 26, didn't you? I was like, yep. Yep, I did. Oh fuck. Well done. Well mate, Nadia and I certainly didn't forget it. We've actually gone out and got you a customised gift for the big day, mate. Right. Well this has me unbelievably nervous as I hold. No, no, no, it's right. Just a little gift from the water boy and I for the big day.

3:03Thank you, mate. Personalised just for you. Oh, lovely. That's very good. For those playing at home, the boys have got me an hospital slice with 12,000 turns a day and I'm like, I should miss my rank right now. Yeah, we got that's actually your regular season right. We got them to craft onto the cake for you. Yeah, they didn't have the same on there. To commemorate my greatest. We actually had to prepare history. We did pay extra because five characters is much more expensive than four. Honestly, it wasn't six this year. I saved you money. Did you do this this morning? I was just over there. They have 15 minutes for the show, mate. I don't actually know how I miss you. I reckon I left there 20 minutes before the end of the show. Thank you boys, I appreciate that. I got a shout out to you for this one. So we came up with the idea days ago and obviously completely forgot. Completely forgotten. Until I'm going to say 225, which is about 25 minutes ago.

4:05And Tim, he just, he pulled it out of his ass somehow, so thank you, mate. Thank you boys, unreal. T's, I'll tell you what boys, the feed I had at the grounds is soft, no? Oh, daddy. Yeah, yeah. Oh, fuck it was good. Was your little, little pool pool girl? Mate, I went, we sat in the cafe section. I went a little bit out of my normal realms. I got a, some sort of a pie. I'm not very often, I'm older or a pie at a restaurant guy, but fuck it was good. It's more of my grandfather orders pies when he was in grade. Oh, they're so underrated. Yeah. There's a little bit of mass, a little bit of pee. Pies are great. Like I get a pie when I go to the Dudley sometimes, but I usually only get pies when I'm in like country towns. Yeah, that's fair. So having a city pies, yeah, maybe something I'll do in the next few days, because pies are fucking awesome. A good pie pies crimly under our eyes. Any other thing about it? Very, really goes wrong. Yes, dad. You can't really fuck it up. No. It's always good pastry. Yeah, I felt like it was a really better in play from me, I think older wise. Yeah, I felt, I felt, when I ordered, I felt pretty proud of myself.

5:05I'm like, 24-year-old Nathan doesn't even look at this. Yeah, he goes for the parmy or just sophistication of an older man. But yeah, our final episode, we actually, like, schedule wise, we actually can't really make it work next week. I'm going to the bathroom, it's 1000, you got to spit on next week, that's right, I'm going to the bathroom, it's 1000. I cannot wait to get out there. Stay tuned for content. What's your problem? Talk to me. We're in Australia's bathroom. Bathurst. I know bathurst, but I've never heard of bathurst. I only hear people say bathurst if they're not from New South Wales. Well, that's offensive. I'll be there next week. So this is our final show for the year. So what we're going to do without punishment of Zio Pino. Zio Pino is great. Zio Pino. But you know what I'm devastating with? We have a group chat through us. And I shared a picture from Zio Pino's Instagram the other day of their wall that had all the signatures on it. And I shared to you guys, and I can't remember what my comment was. Something like it's crunch time or times ticking or something.

6:08And I was like, oh, there's a bit shit. No one responded to my thing, especially Tim. I'm like, first time he's seen it. That's fucking weird. Anyway, I went to take you guys the other day and I looked at the chat and the video was not delivered. I was like, I thought I hadn't seen it. So I just sporadically sent him a message like, it's crunch time. I love the no one responded to. You said that. And I remember seeing it. I remember seeing it going like, what is shit message? I'm pretty sure I replied. Oh, I replied with shit chat. No, it was after that. None of you replied anything. Oh, I said something shit before that. But yeah, I was like, oh, that's nice of the boys. Just trying to have a bit of banter with your friends. And I just get it. That's like, you know, pretty shit chat at the best size, but it does make sense now. That was particularly bad. Yeah, I sent the thing and it's not delivered. And all I wrote was destiny away. And no one responded. No, it's like, cool. That's pretty rattling. But yeah, it had a video on there. A friend of the show, Matty Stuttons on there. I noticed in a couple of other local mascot celebrities.

7:09I say, yeah. It was a sudden mascot. Mascot and through and through. I used to see him. He was a shy girl. And she used to play down there a lot for the sharks and stuff. Yeah, yeah. Matty Stuttons were the studens or just about as mascot, you can get. Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. Didn't she go to school at Woolaway in the Shire? She might have. I don't know. I only say that because I think my partner went to school with her. And that's why she used to show it to me. Anyway, I just know that like I like because I was never friends with you. age, Maddie or not? I think around my age and like, you know, like a, kind of like a once removed friend. Like you know what I mean? Like friendship circles amongst friendship circles. Well I was never friends with her, but always knew about her. I was older by the clay was in my age group. And I made, I still remember watching Maddie playing with the boys and bullying guys out there. Maddie was a weapon from a very young age. Always a two blue. She might have gone to school down there potentially. I think she did bet again.

8:09This is very unbearable. I don't know. Anyway, Maddie stutters on the wall and one of us will be joining her in the future. Hey Maddie, can you do me a favour? Can you move that light back slightly so I can see you? Yes. Is there? I miss you pretty face already. Is there any weld? Where the picture goes up or do you think it like? If I lose that picture's going up. The picture's going up. You're not leaving till it goes up. I don't care if you have to fight peanut, it's going up. That's part of the conditions. You have to get it up there. If it's for a split second sure, if it means during the meal, you have to take Maddie stubborn down and put yours on. Right. So you can replace here somewhere with yours. Even if you have to convince him to say, hey, just for dinner tonight, can I have my dinner? And I reckon he'll be willing to do it. I don't know if I said this on there last week, but I told my mum about this and she's like, what do you mean? Like, you've been her has no news since you were four years old. So good. I don't want to lose. So what we're going to do guys, this is our final episode. We won't be here next week. So what we're going to do is, so the beer and break-even's audience can all get around and enjoy it. So we're going to have the next round one next year.

9:11We're going to have this dinner. And our first episode back for the regular season, that episode is going to open with the video of the dinner and whoever has to do the punishment. If it's me, which it is slightly firming, I might just say that I'm the Hamish Blake or something. I mean, I can't have no idea what it actually looks like and he'll be like, oh, I mean, I don't care how you do it. Yeah. As long as you get it up there, pick your own strategy. That could work. That could work. That could work. All right. I've got six months to play. I think it's going to be a little bit more than 90 dudes. You also look like and probably get away. Oh, yeah. That's true. Yeah. Oh, that's... That's good. I'll say I'm... You know what I mean? It was fun. Yeah. But he came in and you're like, oh, I'm Matt Buckston from mascot and then he got an up sitting opposite Matt Buckston and just confused the hell out of me. You'd get that up pretty easily. I think you would. Yeah. I can't have any fanings at the moment. It's a bit touching. It's a bit touching. Yeah. I'll do Zachowski. So yeah, episode one next year, we will have that for you guys. That'll be funny as shit. Where are we all? Where are we ranked? What are we doing? I am.

10:11I went down again in no shock to anyone. I scored... I scored 561 on the weekend. I had a fucking disaster. I'll get to it soon. But some of the decisions I made, I jumped off stand on Smith. I jumped off to me, McEillan. I really shit the bet over the weekend. What'd you score? I thought I had a shocker. And look, it was far from great. But it turned out compared to your boys. Actually went okay. Actually more on that very shortly. 600. Okay. So I bet you by 40, or whatever you said there. Yeah. So close the gap a little bit. There was a lot to do. Captain's killing me. I tripled Teddy for his 50 odd. I V.C. Dill Edwards, who did PCL. However, that was probably nullified by the fact he played against 12 men and couldn't do anything. But... You said a try to take an off. Yeah. Oh, there's another story.

11:12You, like, you inadvertently never meant to do it. But you broke my heart. I was watching... I was watching on a different net. I was watching on a different network to you. Yes. And I was like 30 seconds behind you. And you said something like, welcome to the race. So I'm like, sweet. Edwards is down something. And then Edwards bursts through. Beat like four tacos, line-backed try. Oh, V.C. So double. And I'm like, oh, baby. And I was like, because you said it, I wasn't even necessarily looking to play that closely. And then as soon as the trial went down, I got another one from you saying, oh, shit, sorry. Or something. And I was like, no. Anyway, for what it's worth, it was such a clean of structure. And he wouldn't have scored even... Even if it didn't happen, but you've really got my hopes up. Yeah, I... Yeah, I was going to say I'm sorry, but I don't know if I am any... No, I wouldn't have bothered about that. No, I did. I did when Cleary was benched, shared out. I brought him sand into me. Yes.

12:12Who saved my bacon. Hey, speaking of Newcastle, this is such a... This is a side. I just saw your bricky's hat. I am... So I'm going to boxy-sweaking. In fact, I'm organizing it for my mate, who's a night's fan. Yeah. And like, we've been lifelong friends. And I was like, oh, I'll incorporate... You know, I'll incorporate the Newcastle going to follow to the New Year's Firewall bar. Asked me also if you can send in a couple of hearts. I said, I paid full price. I said, but can I get here by Friday? He was like, mate, not only have they sold out, I've had 300 people ask me and all sold out. How good is that? He's just got... He's flown through them. I love that. Imagine if they win the comp, you better order about a thousand more. Yeah. Yeah. We spent the jack-class year with Nilso. I met him before. The first time I've spent three days with him. Fucking top shelf human being. He's a legend. He's a legend. And came into it, walking absolutely woundedly. Like, he was proper crook, got through the warm-up event, gave a crack on the pierced.

13:12Like, as a true Nova castrian, they built differently up there, tough, he soldered through. My Nilso, do you remember what happened when he arrived? Were you sitting at that table when he first arrived? We arrived at the jack, and the jacks notoriously, like a pretty big event where you've just drank for three days straight and whatnot. And I think Nilso had arrived, known when he was getting himself in the not sure of the extent. Anyway, we're sort of sitting at the table like all the lead guys. So it's like us, brilliant beers, Roasty, Nilso as anyway. As Timmy said, Nilso, really bad food poisoning the not sure. That's right. So he came in anyway. He had a glass of water in front of him. And you know, we're all in the beers and whatnot. And he just said he's like, oh, I just need to, so I don't shit myself at the table. I think I just need to work my way into the weekend. And I sort of gig him myself when, oh, good luck with that. It's not gonna last long anyway. Clinton comes over. And those of you that don't know, like the jack is based off Clint's father. Jack Newton, who obviously, a legendary golfer,

14:12just a legendary Australian in general, unfortunately lost an arm and an eye, you know, helicopter accident. And anyway, Clint walks over the table, hey boys, how are you? Buh, buh, buh, buh. And Clint, like, lovely guy, but big, bitter gear and quite an intimidating motherfucker comes over to the table. And looks at the table and go, hey boys, well, how many looks at Nido? He goes, the fuck are you drinking? And turns all like, Newcastle staunch. And Nilso's like, oh, I just, I had a bit of food poisoning. He goes, how dare you? How dare you come to the jack? And drink fucking water. Get your ass up to the bar and get a beat immediately. All right. So Nilso likes, she's like, oh, fuck Jesus Christ. First of all, I've met Clint, he fucking hates me, and he walks away. And Clint just pisses himself off. And he's like, oh, this is the jack boy, how good anyway. Nilso walks back with a beard, and he goes, holding it in your right hand. My dad didn't have a right hand, don't you? Yeah. Oh my god, I want to go.

15:14I mean, Clint just piss himself. I was like, it was fucking the best shot. Oh, that's good. So fucking good. How about the recruit this year? Is he in? He's in. He's in. And a real Fizio. Fucking I, how good. On Davey. I'm actually out. I'm going to cover a Debbie Thompson's May this year. Yeah. But one of them you've met, Bex brother, Jack. Right. And Bex's out of me and he's going to come to. So yeah, big few days in coming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, I had a Ru Crew event the other day. I'd appreciate you two coming along. Thanks for the drinks. Appreciate the frost. Yeah, that's a wrap. I'll tell you what. I hope that at some point in my life, I get on with my father as well as Tim did. Oh, yeah. Like two peas in a fucking pond. Unbelievable. Yeah. I felt like he was my father. In a country, footy chat. Yeah. Strategy, coaching. Also, it was just, it was meant to be. Yeah, I've never felt more unloved. Yeah. That was fantastic. I see I scored five 61, Timbo scored six scunge. Many fucks in Bustin. I scored six zero three. Okay.

16:14So yeah, we also quite similar. I was ahead of you. And then what happened? Yeah, I feel like scores changed. Yeah, so I was ahead of you by 15 or 20 odd. I don't know a lot of the dims. I know you had Ponga who went up and I did end. But Dua would drop six. Right. And I had him as VCs. So I lost 12 on him. So that's where we had our swing. I was furious during the Roosters game when Reese Robson was on 98. And I'm like, yes, he's going to hit 100. Obviously I predicted that he was going to set up three tries. Oh my God. But that's a joke. But then he went ahead to 80 and I questioned, I was like, boy, what's going on here? He had an update, it's Maddie. Updates and I was like, God damn it. That was middle of the game. Do you know the last time that Reese Robson set up three tries? I'm going to assume under sixes? Yeah, no I know. What did he lose at the Triacist? He must of. I think he lost 1 or so his run name. Like, I can't exact problem. Exactly, I think his run is the classic where he's sort of peaked up just sort of peaked up and thrown the past, but I don't perfectly remember it. Yeah, I think I'm over in the rudely one.

17:14Okay, so that puts my points at 2,159. Maddie, what do you want? We'll carry the one and do the math. What do you say, so? I'm 2,159. I'm 2,098. Okay, so I'm 61 points in front of Maddie. God, that was quick. I think it's 63, actually. I don't know. I'm 2,029. So would you say you're 69? You're 2,029. You're 2,169, just saying. Yeah, 2,019. So you have me by 140? Oh, right. I didn't think I was in front of you by that much. Yes. Wow. Maddie's got me by. I basically bailed in the middle. It's best 70, yeah. Yeah, right. Fucking hell. Work to do. Yeah, you're going to need, honestly, there's only one way to describe it. A duck and a like, wake. Oh. How much could you possibly describe? Well, hopefully it's a week one. A duck and a wake. Yeah, I'm very disappointed about that. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Actually, that try scored on the, the herby-junct time on the bar, so that was heart breaking. Oh, yeah, every minute's the same.

18:15Sorry, pal. What's an 80-minute game? What about it? What about it? What about it? What about it? Bradley kept dropping herby like five times. Every time I thought that Tim was caught up, Victor Bradley goes, I'm like, it's just monopilot. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. That one early in the game, I'm like, I'm like, I'm going to be a little bit more patient. I'm like, I'm going to be a little bit more patient. Yeah. That one early in the game, I'm like, you don't see how I'm going to get in the game. But I was like, disclaimer. Oh, oh. Could just be a rolled ankle to be a back-for-the-world. You like those government ads? You don't have to say, you could do that. Yeah. That was too me this early. You don't want to say no again. But... You also don't want to say no on God as a pain on me. I could dig a little bit. It's apparently brought you about by the Comestar. Sorry, that's where we're at. I am... How many points in front of you? About 60, something... 60 odd. 60 odd and 104. I think you might be... Yeah, unless I could do much in this. I think it was about 70 out of Maddie, and then Maddie's about 70 in front of me. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I better work to do this week. Now, we did our EdgeV, EdgeChats the last few weeks,

19:17and Maddie from memory went 100% on all of those. So we are just going to get straight into our teens for this week and what we're thinking we're going to start from fullback goal the way through to Hooker, and then we'll come back for our FlexQuando to finish it off. Maddie, I'm going to hand you the new ball, right? Yeah, just climb up before we get into it. There's another one. Another one. Another one. No, this climb up. Let me just climb up first. Or do you bother Tim Williams, government? Oh, yeah, sorry, yeah. I'm this week. I know you, Rue, and you're a grub, and you're a head to head, dry. It's my birthday. Drafts, especially. My fucking birthday. You got your customized cake, didn't you? I did, thank you. Which is on borrowed time by the way. I reckon. We're at this heart. He's how I see you playing this week, Rue. Yeah. Because I do team reveal articles, and I do, we go through this on this show, and I'm playable. Do you do content there? Oh. I can take that cake back. I think that you'll try and match me in key categories.

20:20Because you'll be like, you don't do the punishment, which is fair. Can I say something here? Go. Yeah. What I picked tonight is what I'm sticking with, okay? What I say tonight, I will not change it, all right? Deal. Because I don't want any of this carry on any of this. I love that. I love that. Yeah. I assume we're all doing the same thing, right? Yeah. Oh, I love it. Yeah. So what we do tonight. That's it. It stays. You can't make any changes the week goes on. No. I can maybe, maybe, maybe, Timmy can. I can do it if it won't. Because it doesn't matter for me. I'm chasing you guys. And I'll be honest, it is wide open this week. It's hard. I was actually going to say, I'll give her what I think is going to be the top score in every position. Any of us I've got, but unlike if you were going to want to match me in terms of positions and captains, you could, and I'm like, I'm not going to catch you. So I'm going to do some Larry shit. Yeah, fair. Yeah, cool. I will be going different. Yeah, fair. Yeah, yeah, well, yeah. I'll be sticking with the captains. I want to stick with.

21:20Okay. And you can go differently off the back of that. Okay. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, Maddie, I think it'd be pretty shit if like I changed it last minute to match my captain to his just to square it up so that you could be in your jersey. I've been unaccidentally do it. So on the off, but I accidentally do it. On the off, you act in true character. You have the last four or five years. The beauty of the one gamer is you can't see my team. That's true. But I just I just hope there's not an accident. I'm still not over that by the way if you haven't picked up on that. All right, let's start it full back. I I think it's a load is a two horse race here unless you get on really wild with Rex Bass and quite KP and James to disco. I think there's every chance we probably all end up with both these guys in our team. But let's say in a hypothetical situation, you only had to go with one to me. What are you feeling here? I've gone to Teddy, but I generally don't know like it is so hard.

22:24As I said, I think the, the bit I've got an idea. Yeah. Okay. As you don't really care about your rank for this thing. Okay, cool. I will give you an opportunity. Yeah. There's both of them on the board. Yeah. You can only pick one of them. Yeah. Whichever of these two you want and I will take the other one, but we can only own them separate so they can be the differentials to make it interesting this way. I mean, I love it. But what's to say that you won't backstab me on game? When do I ever say I'm going to do something on this show and not do it? Let's be fucking realistic here. To my own detriment may I add, but I am here for the content. I'm here to make this interesting. I am willing to go down that avenue with you if you are interested. Oh, absolutely. I am. Cool. All right. So we've got Teddy. We've got Ponga.

23:24Does Maddie come into this or not? Well, this is the other thing. I don't know where he fits into it because that's huge advantage. It is a huge advantage. Yeah. I'm he's from a chance of catching Maddie the new. Well, I mean, is this maybe not fair then? It turns his Maddie wants to get in on the content action. Well, how does Maddie get in though? Do you two want one and then I take the other? Are you in on that? Oh, yeah. I would do that. I think that's fair. But we're letting him choose which one he wants. Yeah. You can have Teddy. We'll take Ponga. Or I'll wait around. I'll wait around. Yeah. I'm so split on them that I don't really care. If I'm picking, I'm also going for the night so hard. But if I'm picking, I'll probably go Teddy, but I also remember that you were shit. I think that's 50, 50 coin to us. So to be clear, we are down to the last week of this competition. Timmy is chasing me and Maddie. We are putting KP and James Cedesco up together.

24:25Timmy gets to choose which one of them he wants in his team. Mayor Maddie cannot choose the other one. Sorry, Mayor Maddie cannot choose the same one. We get the other players. That's going to be our differential this week. Any if you backstab me and turn and do it and change the other player, the punishment is null and void. I know that's completely fine. There's only one person in the backstabs on this show. Deal. All right. And content. Content. Content. It all comes down to Teddy V. Ponger. I will change my whole team. You know the hard thing about this? I'm like, I'll go Teddy, and I'll triple captain him, but Christ, I hope Ponger shreds in the night. When I really do, I'm like, I'll cut the punishment for night, we in Ponger Churchill for sure. Yeah. So you're going to, yeah, OK. OK. All right. You're on Teddy, we're going K.P. for what it's worth. I do think Teddy is the safer player here. I think there is more chance of Newcastle falling over this week because they're fucking exhausted.

25:26And Teddy runs a rugby league train. Yeah. Is the way I would have. I don't. I know what you're saying. I don't think there will be a fall over and an exhaustion from how big of last week was just because it's grand final day. Yeah. The adrenaline gone through than the hype for it. I don't think there would be a case of West stuff from last week's game. Two and seven days, they'll get him in shape for it. That'll be fine. I tend to agree with you, but I think I can't, personally, and I may, maybe I'll be wrong. I can't see a world where the roots, the nights smash the roosters. Hmm. But I could see a world when you cast the run out of gas, which is why I would lean towards Teddy. OK. I mean, whilst we're here, boys, actually, we can't take K.P. Now flex, we're going to have to go somewhere else. Do you think the two-footback approach is a good way to go for people out there? If I was at the point in the rankings, like, put it this way, if I was leading Super Grouch Fions overall, I'd have Teddy and I'd have Ponga, and I'd be pretty tempted to see him. Yeah.

26:26Very fair. I think that's the obvious play, right? Yeah. I think so. Yeah, I think it makes sense. Yeah, I think Teddy is. K.P. I think there's a little bit more of a conversation around him, but I'll get to what the show goes on. Boys, let's talk CT Dubs. I guess Maddie, our advantage here is that with K.P., it does leave us with four roosters to pick on that only leaves him with three. I do find Mark. Just incredibly hard to go past. Guru, with Teddy in my team and Loctis and Roosters four, Mark was still in my team. Yes, I got. It's absolutely not a chance in hell. I was not picking Mark this weekend. He's a big game player. He could probably be the first ever we're going to win the club, Churchill medal. There is a huge chance that happening. I'm disappointed about not having Teddy because I'm actually keen to look, I've done what the roosters to win obviously, but I love Teddy. Obviously, I love Teddy as a proud new South Valsamund.

27:29I'll never forget what he's done for our state. I still think Sliders, the number one fullback, but Jesus, he wins the club. There's stars to become a big conversation, a huge conversation about Teddy versus Slater. I still think Slater, but I just think people start talking about it. That's why I'm disappointed about not having Teddy, but yeah, I think I did. I said the same thing on Roon the 15th this morning about I don't think it becomes Teddy's in front of Slater, but anyone that tells me it's Slater. I'm going to play a daylight Teddy. Yeah, I'm with you on that one. We spoke pretty well about like awards and get handed out the Dalyms a bit, wish you watching all that stuff, but we spoke before about the RLPA player of the year as voted by their peers. Teddy's won at six fucking times. I think that's crazy. That's absolutely wild. When you say that today I was shocked. I think it becomes Slater and then Teddy's kind of on his own tier.

28:29I'm pretty happy to put daylight under that. Yeah, I think so too. I tend to agree. If he wins a Clive. If he, yeah. I mean, I'm almost already there. Yeah, I think it's those two as you top two definitely does something special on the modern era. I know Clark Churchill's in the morning. Where did you sit on that? I'm the exact same. And if Teddy comes out and shreds and wins a Churchill, there's a conversation you had better. Because that's the difference of the moment. Slater's got two Clives. Teddy's got none. Yes. And yeah, that's it. Exactly. I'll tell you the other interesting one, but if it goes the other way and KPs of Clive Churchill medalist and he wins a Premiership with Newcastle, I personally think New Zealand is going to win this World Cup with him at fullback. He's obviously not getting, but he's becomes into that realm of OK now. You can elevate him into the sphere of those. I reckon he's going to get closer to the Downey and the people think the only thing stopping him is that he missed the first 10 weeks, but all missed around like three to 10. I can get closer to what most people can't realize. Yeah. Clear is going to win. Yeah. Second or third?

29:30Very fair. Not sure how we got there when talking about Mark, but I've got Mark as well. Tim Buck too. What do you think of mate? I have a great team. Yeah. It's a lot of time. I had Marky Mark, but I did also have this earmarked as a position where I'm like, I probably should go different to your boys. Yeah. So I would be tempted to go Rob Toyer and maybe just nullify that Marky third a little bit. OK. But I mean, I also don't love the Toyer on Bradman Best match up because Bradman Best is a beast. I mean, this is a position where Mark's the obvious pick. Toyer, young, to a less greedy guy, Bradman Best, Marju, Toops, Billy Smith. Considering we've got two teams to pick from, you could go eight different ways. Yeah, very fair. But yeah, I for now shift Marky Mark to Toyer, but what's this supposed? I find Gaguy a little bit appealing this week.

30:30No, no, I've just got a feeling, Gag, he's just been final footage. He's just been unfucking. He's been the best center in the club last four weeks. Yeah, like his last game, four new cars. I just think he goes fucking nuts. I like Dom Young for similar reasons because the night's right edge has been so good. And Gaguy's been that good that he's putting Dom away. Yeah. Perfect. I would probably go Dom over Gaguy, but yeah. I probably, I think I've had to put my team every week so far, this finals run. I just, that Dom Young match up to Torbitsa Timba, sort of hurts his cause a little bit for me. Marky Mark jump, he over Marju's. That's the appealing one, yeah. Good luck, Greg. You know where they're going. Yeah, 100%. So, Mark for Maddie, Mark for me and Toyer, the most. Yeah, nice. All right, let's move into the 5.8 realm. We've got DCA Fletcher Sharp.

31:31We've got San on Smith, his obviously dual position who becomes an interesting conversation. I guess probably that we're talking 5.8 and half back sort of at the same time here, working out what we're doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So half back options, we've got San on Smith once again, you've got Sammy Walker. So it's essentially San Walker or San on Smith at half back or you pair San on Smith at 5.8 or you get Fletcher Sharp. I'm leaning towards going Sammy Walker and San on at the moment. I've had San on the entire finals run until three minutes before kick off on Sunday, which broke my fucking heart. By the way, didn't get to mention this on Blake Day that I only saw it once on Instagram. You know that in a set that he took on the last play. Do you know where he started that play? Yeah, I noticed that this morning. I didn't notice that the second mark in the corner. Yeah, well, so he tracked all the way along. Like essentially went past the entire team and then just picked his moment and went back.

32:32Fucking cool to see. So I think I'm going to go, Sammy Walker at half back and I'm going to go sand on at 5.8. What do you boys think? I've got Sammy Walker at half back, I think he picks himself. Yeah, I mean this one. I've gone a boat that I think I've potted each week of Super Coach final so far, but I've gone flat to sharp. He just feels to me. I know he's doing his career, but a bloke will be a big game player. I can see the nights coming out. I'll come out as underdogs again and just flat to sharp, whether he's supporting, whether he's jumping over Teddy, something and being the first triscora. And we're just sitting there. We've got to game on our hands and flat to sharp. Come up with the opener. So I just love the bloke. So I'm thinking of flat to sharp. I like dudes in Super Coach that crab a little bit, tends to generate points, just a little palm off here off those. Like he's one of those guys. So I like that. I've got the exact same reasoning as Timmy. I just feel like flat to sharp on the big stage.

33:33He's going to score a try. And like, I don't know how many times I can prepare myself. He's the best supporting player in the NRL. By far. We did that on half back podcast, the other day, Timmy where we figured out that Calipon was triscoring stopped 49 games ago. It's quite a sharp debut was 46 games ago. Yeah, that's why it's a four dollars to score. Yeah, exactly. So unbelievable. Fletcher sharp for me, the best supporting player in the comp. I, it's crazy. Because I don't know which way the nights are going to go. They're so good on both edges, which is amazing. I actually struggled to get triscores for the new career. I did no growth. But I never struggled with Fletcher sharp. I got a pretty good strike rate from a betting perspective, getting on him. And I was tracking in this big game. He's on, he's, he pretty much had a hat trick in 10 minutes against the wall. He's got two taken off here. Yeah. Yeah, flat to sharp. All right, so it's semi-walk of flat to sharp. Oh, walkers for you too. Yeah, yeah. And then I'm going to go semi-walker. And I'm going to go send Smith as my five eight there.

34:35Second row forward. Wide open. Wide open. Um, I, I, this will probably feel like I'm chasing the last week's points. The boys, I've just got a feeling that Radley puts in another big game here for the roosters. Big game player, suspended to start the season. The club stood by him in a few different situations and whatnot. I just, I feel like Radley repays the debt here. And I just, I feel like with the way that this new castle packed, the way they're going, I think it'll be a tight affair. Just feel like Radley's going to be crucial. And I think I can see him coming up with one of those plays where he links up with Teddy or he does something. I'm leaning towards Victor Radley. Um, I'm not sure how popular he'll be once we actually get to Sunday with people, but I'm just going to back in a vibe there. What are you guys thinking? So hard between you killing Radley, Wong, Butcher, if you had, you'd probably put him in front of him, but he's doing some great things.

35:36Manu Laila, I've, I'm batting. It's another one where I could just coin toss between about four of these blokes. I see negatives in a lot of them like, I've got Manu Laila, who I at the moment. But then like, look at his numbers. And he said three schools in finals of 61, 51, 46. They were all in 80 minutes. He's busted three tackles in that time. Runs haven't been huge. I don't love his match up on Cherry Evans. His playing hurt, too. Yep. And just like, you were supposed to have met a lot, but just Cherry Evans. Pretty solid in contact. Not great for his edge defensively, but pretty solid in contact. I'm leaning to him or probably so Wong. Um, tough one. Really hard. Yeah, I suppose the only thing that I would say with Frank the tank,

36:36I only worry is mate that he's playing hurt. And if he's carrying any form that gets a noctur in the game, they might have the best back row and rugby league sitting on there. Oh, yeah. Because that's my big concern. I'll be honest. I was picking going through the numbers from finals. I had a slight lean to Jamei McEwant. I think he probably had the best number statistically. Grant, like a week, one of finals, he's got 96 cents of bunnies with two tries. I thought you were probably going to go in, because I know you love the bloke. Who, sorry? Jamei McEwant. Yep. Yep. So I kind of tamed him out. Again, I don't mind the match up on Sammy Walker, who defensively solid enough on the weekend. But yeah, I thought you were going to pick him. That's why I didn't go with him at the time. But now that you haven't, maybe I'll swing back to McEwant. Now, at time of recording, we have just had the team list drop. No big changes here. The one thing that's worth noting is that Fendi Troston has been named Hookah.

37:39He's obviously going to go to the judiciary tonight. I think he's cooked. And worth noting, Diesel Hagen on the extended bench. This is great. I would assume Diesel is going to come in and be the bench hookah. How many minutes Harrison Graham plays left to wait and see? But God, I love the optics of Newcastle picking a Hagen today. Boo on the final. That is crazy. Crazy. Oh, I can just give you goosebumps. Now, I believe when I did the under 19s, I did say he was a grandson or a nephew. And I got handed in the comments saying that's false. But I would rather it be true. Also, he's not related to that. I don't know. That's not some people told me. No, I'm going to start a river to son. Let's just manifest it in Newcastle. 100% white. Chief son. Sure. Yeah, that makes sense. Hagen Hagen sent you just there from the Newcastle region. I just think that because Michael Hagen was the coach in 2001, it's been 25 years since then. It was Michael Hagen's, it was his first year as Newcastle coach in 2001. It's just a whole Brooks first coach this year.

38:39His name is Diesel. We love that. He's a Hagen. Oh, if he's a great boy. If he's not Hagen's son, a Hagen son. Yeah, we're manifesting it to some. It's something else. Is he from Cessna? I'm not sure where he's from. Fletcher's in Cessna. He is. The Cessna Curtain. He is. Is he? I can picture a clave Churchill Mel around. He's there. Yeah, I can see that. There's a stone. There's a Lagan. Oh, nice. That's where Josh Mann is from Skone, isn't he? Yeah. You're right. I got family from Skone, actually. Great little part of the world. Yeah, so nothing really enormous there. Be it going back to Big Frank the Tank, that is my concern that if he does get a knock or he gets any more injured that you have got Dill Lucas sitting on the bench. But you could say the exact same thing for a Kiwain, I guess. Yeah. It looks to be an, according to going off your numbers as well, just eye-testing him. It looks like Frankie's carrying something to me. I think that Dill Lucas will start on Sunday.

39:39Yeah, I think that's also very fish. Yeah, I think he'll start it left back, I think, I think, Le Lua will play off the... Is that how he sees name? I'm pretty sure I've investigated it last week. God, I'm right. Manu Le Lai Ua. Manu Le Lai Ua, apologies. I'll do my best to continue to get that right. Manu Le Lai Ua. He's an absolute beast, but I reckon Dill Lucas will be starting it left back row. And interesting, yeah. For that reason, Dill Lucas is very tempting. He's very tempting. I'll tell you that. I don't say who you think is wrong. I was on a Kiwain at the moment, but if Dill Lucas is starting, wait, can I put an asterisk? Yeah, I want to have one asterisk. This position, because there's a bit to play out, you can do what you want. I'm going to go to... Fantastic. At the moment, I got my killin', but I'm tempted to go Lucas if I want to start it. Yeah, if Lucas starts, I'm going to find it very hard to ignore him until Lucas. Boy, what about like a C-Wild Wong?

40:41How are you feeling? Very good. He's nice. He's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. For Keti's had a great year, I just am getting a little bit nervous about where I just don't always trust that Angus is going to maybe take minutes off, etc., etc. By the way, to me, you'll enjoy this. Fucking dead coach, the Bondo United under 18s, about three years ago in the Grand Final, had a very star-studded tie. I'd like Benoia was in the team, the hooker for the Rooster's Hayden Bard, who debuted a few weeks ago. Josh was in a few few other guys that had played a little bit of first grade here and there anyway. Three years ago, Celessi was his back rower, now playing in an NRL Grand Final. That's awesome. Fucking crazy. So shout out to Bundy Rum. They reached out to me last week with some tickets to the game because I went out there with him last year, and I saw said, I'm going to watch it from the studio this year. Thank you very much, guys. Ben Celessi got into the Grand Final and Deb was like, oh, do you reckon we'll be able to get tickets? And I'm like, oh, we can try this one together and like most musicians, people and everyone misses out.

41:42So I just rang Bundy this morning, Tim, and I said, hey, this is my situation. Dad coached these guys. Peter still talks to them today, catches up with them and stuff, and they said, yes, we'll see you. Oh, that's so loud. Absolutely, I'll head with you. So shout out to Bundy Rum. Absolutely love that from you guys. Thoroughly, thoroughly appreciate it, and the old boy will enjoy himself. Awesome. All right, should we move on to front row forward? Yep. Timmy, I have no fucking idea, and I cannot believe how appealing Nap Butcher is coming off the bench. See. This is where it gets a little bit tricky for me with the Teddy Paisy boy said, with the four roosters. Yeah. Because, if I were white, the obvious, I mean, he's the obvious enough pick in a Gennepry ordinary position. Nap Butcher's been a lead. Even if he only gets 45 to 50 minutes, he's just getting through so much work. Yeah. If I'm going to like, even listening to Maddie say, McEwan there, you looking at another night's back row,

42:43I can send him a money, Laila, I might need to drop like, and not have a rooster at front row, but I mean, the night's middles just aren't interesting. They don't get the minutes, they don't have the work rate. Bloody good footballs, but the way the team's out with their minutes and everything, they just don't translate supercote. So, I think I'm going to probably have to go like I'm a cure in the back row, because I can't have another rooster and then the fire who wide, but at the moment, I've gotten a fire who wide. Can I throw a little hypothetical, yeah, I know this is very behind the sky, yeah, we don't quite know how it's going to play out, but just Phoenix being out, I don't think they'll play Harrison Graham as a lock forward. I think Harrison Graham will either be on the field or off the field for diesel to come on. Maybe they'll play Thomas Cairn there as well as the other option they could go with. Is there not a little uptick here for someone in the Newcastle Park? Like, if you have to pick a Newcastle forward, is it about trying to pick who gets that little uptick? Is it tight from Resolver? Mr. Experience?

43:44Is it Hopwood who's been going great guns? Is it, and once again, I understand this is an easy thing to do by any means? Is it Pasami Solo? Maybe Jums' I, I still wouldn't be going him, but I don't know, is there a World Wear Hopwood Gets and extra five or ten minutes? And you played 45 last week, Frisers 42. You'd probably go to Mr. Experiencing for Zelda. You're like, if that's how it plays out. I would lean towards him, but I think Hopwood has been very fucking impressive. I sound like, I'm not saying this is an easy option to take, but if you had to take a front row forward and it had to be a Newcastle one, I do think for someone there might be a little uptick there because you take a few nicks out of the rotation. Well, when I originally had Teddy, I had four other roosters. I had to pick a night's, and I was, I was a bit concerned about that. And I initially had very, very lightly penciled in with a B pencil so I could easily rub it out, a Hopwood. Yeah. So see, I'm sort of, I also think, if I'm in your situation,

44:46or honestly in any situation, I can only pick four from each team or whatever the hell it is. Isn't this position you're probably willing to give a bit? Like if that butcher plays 50 minutes, and does really well, his score is 65. For sure, yeah. Like you're only going to lose 15 to 20 points anyway, barring someone's scoring a 10. Well, I said, I came in today very open-minded because I'm like, I need to go different G-boys. Yes. And because you can only have four and four, if I change one position, it can change my whole team. Exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially when I like, and I don't know if Ponga, who was one of my nits, I've got a lean to roosters plays in this. So, like, I loose, and I was kind of chat to you about and get your guys' thoughts. But I was thinking of maybe going a little flyer on Harrison Graham if he was starting nine, playing big minutes. I just, this was going to say, like, what? This is the other thing. If you're forced to pick a new castle front row forward, I also think Harrison Graham gives them a little bit more potent attack close to the line. Yeah. I think he's more likely to put someone over them Phoenixes.

45:46I was going through his numbers from, you know, his limited sense in carp and, you know, his limited big minutes this year. I really like him. Yeah. The question mark, he's, what are his minutes for? What are his minutes? Yeah, which we... We don't know. We don't know. That's the reality of it. Like, Reese Robbson is the obvious picket number nine. He'll play probably 80 minutes, if not 80, 65 to 70. Yeah. He's flying. He's the obvious pick. But, Jesus, Harrison Graham could get 60, 65 minutes as a serious player. Serious by. Yeah, yeah. What do we think, and boys? Front row? Yeah. What do we have at the moment? You got enough at the moment? Well, Timmy, I'll take you back to Gurus, event the other night. The minute you were chatting about how Lindsey Collins just somehow does things in big games. And he scored the last two weeks. He scores in origin. He just pulls his finger out in big games. He's never played in the grand final. Let alone one one. Is that right? Yeah, he's never played him one.

46:47Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Never played in the grand final. Yeah. I always assume he's one, two. I think I'm like, oh, Lindsey Collins. I hope he's going to try. I don't mind that at all. I've had a look at the rest of my side and how it's all going to fit in with a couple of chains that we've done. I actually think I am going to go in Newcastle Front row forward. I think I'm going to go with Hotwood, which allows me to make moves elsewhere. I think this is the spot. Two sacrifice if you're going to sacrifice. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm going to go with Hotwood as my Front row forward, little CBA that was promised of the last few years. Hotwood, Tim Buck too. This is so hard. I've got no further white at the moment. It's just left me with a bit of conundrum at Hookah. That'd be my four roosters. I think you'll make a change there eventually. Two Robson. Yeah, I reckon. I think so. You're going to be shitting yourself going to like Grand Final without knowing what Harrison Graves and Middets are. I'm pretty wild sort of bloke, right?

47:50No, I tend to agree. Like I need to probably try and get Robson in. Yeah. Anyway. I've already dropped no idea why I was there for my team. As it stands. So, Yeah. Maddie, Front row forward. Uh, Wait, so am I allowed to change this or not? Yeah, I think it's the team that you walk away with today. So if I pick Collins, I can't change it. Not before, not after the show, unless you change in a back row. Oh God. Collins is starting, right? Yeah, starting. Yeah, I'm picking Collins. Nice. Yeah, I'm picking Collins. Awesome. Um, I just want people to note the hesitation when Maddie says, is he starting? What's Trent Robinson bench him to the right this game? I'm, I'm happy if like, yeah, you, you both don't have to do this, um, and make competition of it. So I mean, there's not only competition, but if you play as benched on game day, you can freaking check it out. Okay, yeah.

48:50Of course. Collins is benched. I'm allowed to change you. Okay. Yeah, okay. Beautiful. But if you're starting, he's locked it. Well, if I can ask Tricks and the Melbourne storm, it's not unbelievable. All right, let's get to Hookah. I'm going to go with race. Robson. I think it's reasonably self explanatory. And I just worried about the minutes, all that sort of stuff. We just went with Harrison Graham. I think you just stole my pick from last week. Copycat. Well, what does it copycat from? Ballarat. Yeah, that's right. Courtney's from. So that used to offend you. So I should have never heard it until last year. Yeah, right. Copycat from Ballarat. Yeah, no, I remember getting around the school. Yeah, did you have Dibba Dobba Cindy, you're in kindergarten? Never heard that before. Oh, really? No. Yeah, so if you don't know someone, you're Dibba Dobba Cindy from kindergarten. I can't remember. I like that. That's got a bit of potency to it. Yeah, you got to use that school to remember. Yeah, you guys like a lie, lie pants on fire or whatever. High down, it's not. Kindy Cindy. Never heard of that.

49:51That just points me that kind of. Taddle Tows go to jail. Oh, nice. Oh, nice. It can sound bad at all. I don't mind that. Hookah, what are you thinking Tim Buckter? I'm not Robson for now. Yeah, I'm not saying I won't go grain, but it's it's the clear obvious peak. Yeah, yeah. What about that? I've only got around primary school. Pull my finger, Malmininga. Never heard that word. Yeah, it's a big thing in your throat. Um, too good. Hookah. Ah, yeah, Robson. Big game player. I mean, it's pretty stuff. It's pretty obvious one. All right, which leaves us with. Year old Flex Kondo now. The way that my team has shaped up, I can only pick a new castle knight's player, which can you guys pick anyone you want? Can anyone pick anyone? No, I have to go knight to knight time. I have to go knight. And I can't have Ponga. Obviously. Yes. Okay, cool. Interesting. Very interesting. I, I

50:52feel like Fletcher sharp is the smart play for me here. I feel like he's the most likely to score tries out of these guys. But I do have a feeling about Dengue. Do have a feeling. What, what, what do you think, and to me? Yeah. I will go one of those too, I think. A lot of twists and turns in this, and you'll find the piano over there. You're right. It's four o'clock, so it's kind of your team. Yes. Yeah. Um, I'm thinking of the knight contingent that I don't have. I'm like a little bratty best. He's in outstanding form. I like that. I do like that. Yeah, I think, um, I think Rob Toyer is an excellent defensive center, obviously. But I mean, we've said this four weeks in a row. The center opposing is scoring our K-MOS. It makes realistically. Yeah. I also think they are, I think teams are being smart with the way, like they're not sending their centers one on one on Rob Toyer. They're turning them against the grind. Yeah. See, I'm okay with that. Maddie, what are you thinking for your flex mate?

51:53Or do you want me to give you a couple of minutes? No, no, no, I'm good. I'm good because I've got my flex locked in. I do like to go plays against the old team. I know, like, I usually do that, whether it's round 14, doesn't have to be a grand final. So I did have Sanis Mithem, Dom Young, in my mind. And I just think it'd be a lot funer for me to go Dom Young against the roosters, bit of revenge, scorer revenge try. I can see him scoring a revenge try. So yeah, I know it's up against, I mean, the whole roosters defense is good, so it's really mad up it. Yeah, I'm going to go Dom Young. Yeah, I like that. I do like that. You've both got fletch a sharp, right? Yeah. All right, let's have some fun. I'm going to go with the old bull dang ego. Nice. Yeah, well, I have some fun with it. He's been a part of my team a lot in the last few years. He owes you, like, you've had moments. You've been like an oracle and it's lasted a week and it's really gone downhill. I think he owes you.

52:54We've floored it with each other. Yeah, we've been pals now. It was a flame that existed once upon a time. Everyone's sort of expecting us to get back together. So why not do it on the big stage to me? Why not? All chips in the middle. God, I hope we get origin gags. All right, that's our teams. Now shout out to Blue Worlds Property. They've supported us all year doing fantastic things as always. They've got some big events coming up over the next few weeks. When you guys listening tonight, 30th of September, how to pay off, how to pay your mortgage off with an investment property. That one's 630 to 730 to night Blue World Property. Then on the 14th of October, wealth through property, where are the opportunities now? 7 to 8 pm. That one's on the 14th of October, which I believe is a Wednesday. I'm going to say, I'm going to guess. No one rush to check your calendars. It's okay. I'm going to say it's a Wednesday. And then we've got the 27th of October. That's the exclusive property showcase.

53:55This is a property showcase that is exclusive. It is at 7 to 8.30 pm. It's an hour and a half one there, where they get to showcase all the properties that are obviously exclusive to me. The 14th was a Wednesday, mate. Fuck yes. And going back to that on the Wednesday. Where are the opportunities? Bloody everywhere. Everywhere. Markets in all sorts. If you're ready to rock, properties are dropping. Ready to rock and roll. Right to go and up, property value is dropping. Be ready to pounce. We've been dipping our toe in light. Yep, we're having a look around the other market. Yeah. The time to buy is now. But yeah, reach out to the team. I'll be able to sort you out. You can also send an email. Bears at bluewell.com.au. I'm sure Tony and the team will be back on deck next year. No pressure. No pressure. But we will send an angry mob of super coaches with pitchforks and what do they light on fire? What are they? Tortures? Like in assumptions.

54:55Yeah. Like in assumptions we've you know, angry mob. I mean they just like, I guess it is only no. And they're just towers and then they just dip them in like, carousine or something and lay them up. And yeah. Anyway, that's what's coming. You're well. And it's a lovely new HQ. You've got out there and we'd hate for the angry mob to bring it down. But balls in your court. Balls in your court. But yeah, if you want to reach out to them over the Christmas period, bearsatbluewell.com.au. You can get directly in touch with the guys at Blue World Property. And you've got those three events the links are down below in the description as always. All right, boys. It's time to put our money where our mouths are. It's not the saying, but anyone. Um, it wasn't overly close to the saying. Captancies. Yes. VC worth double. Captancy worth triple. What do we think in Timmy?

55:56It, this makes it far more exciting the fact that we kind of teddy at all. Oh yeah. And you kind of pong at all. It gives, yeah. Well, yeah, I think it makes it. Yeah, I'm now that we're here. I'm regretting it. Instantly. I'll tell you what, I actually wouldn't mind adding one more caveat to this. I think with Teddy and KP, you should only be able to VC them. I don't have an opinion either way. So Timmy, it's up to you. Yeah. I don't love it. No, no, no, no. I didn't expect you to fold like that. I mean, sure. Yeah. You know, the reason it's because I just, I mean, Sunny Walker's obviously a decent peak, but Teddy and Pong are just the two best and most obvious by so far. I'm like, if I don't do that, I'd probably go on bloody Bradman best. No, I don't. But this puts us in a dangerous spot, you realize.

56:57Yeah, I have. We've been in danger since minute one of this podcast. I don't know. But this, this tasted a bad spot. Hmm. Oh, I guess. There has three TVs. We have no TVs. You have three Pongers. I don't know Pongers. Oh, look, I'm happy to do that rule. Okay. Sweet. All right. So hey, I'm so hanging. What if I disagree to? No, you've just agreed to. It was just open slide. You can get that. No, no, I agree to. I'm happy to do your rule. Well, no, you said no first. So I think we take the gut call. Okay. I think that's fair. All right. I hate. If I was you, I wouldn't Captain Teddy, because you know, for the sanctity of the show and doing the we've done the right thing by you, we gave you first pick, etc. But you do you? Yeah, I'm going to Captain Teddy. What do we think, Maddie? About him, Captain Teddy, about the rule I've disagreed to. I'm not agreed to. Yeah, I hate it now. I'm here. I mean, we're here with my, I mean, I was, I'll go all in. Okay. I appreciate the,

58:01what would you call it? The charity? Well, partially, I suppose. Gainsmanship sports from shape. What's the word on the four-year charity? Charity, whatever. Your, your whole new head is high. You're doing yourself proud. Good work. I do appreciate it. That's okay. That's okay. You're going to Captain Teddy. Look on your face changing the last two. It's very wonderful. I mean, it actually could, it'll fuck you before it fucks me, probably. Well, I mean, we've already made the decision. Yes. Sure. Okay. You're going to Captain Teddy. Maddie, what do you think of me? Captain or vice captain? Because I'll tell you who my vice captain, my captain's not going to be. It's not going to be Ponga. Wait, or can we Captain Ponga? No, you can't. Yeah. I'm confused. I don't know what the rule is. I don't know what the rule is. Can't do whatever you want. You can't do whatever you want. There's no rules. That's what we've said. Oh, okay. Screw it. I'm Captain Sam Walker. I reckon the other reason I, I'm going to Captain Sam Walker because firstly, I think the rules are going to win, unfortunately.

59:03But secondly, because every time Sam Walker plays a big game, he gets Man of the Match. If he's got three Anzac medals for the Anzac Day Games, he got Man of the Match Nourage and one. He should have got Man of the Match Nourage and two. He wasn't Man of the Match last week by any means. He's still got 100 points. Fucking good, though. You know what? He'd be my captain even if I had Teddy. I reckon. So he's my captain. That's a huge goal. Yeah, huge. Well, I've got the VC on Sammy Walker. But Maddie doing it, Mace, you want to go differently. But as it stands, I've got Don Sammy Walker. Yeah, okay. Cool. I'm going to give you guys a real sniff here. I'm going to Captain Mark. I like it. I like it a lot. Anzac. It's KP or Sammy Walker for me. One of those two. This is tough. Yeah, fuck it. Let's have some fun. Obviously, K.

1:00:03I love it. I love it. Captain Mark VC KP for me, Maddie. Captain Sammy Walker VC KP. Captain Teddy VC, Sammy. Okay. Cool. And our only asterisk that we've got here is to our F, we can all change. However we want. Yep. And Front Row Forward, if your Front Row Forward is benched, you can change it. If anyone's benched. If anyone's benched. Yeah. Sure. Okay. All right. I think we've got to start the competition. It's game on. Yeah. What was that text you sent the other day with no context? Destiny or way? Destiny or way. Destiny or way. And it awaited for a long time because everyone ignored me. It was rough as guards. Yeah. Now, if you do want to get an idea of what we're talking about with this ZO Pino thing, go to their Instagram. You'll see in their first few posts, there is a video of it that's worth having a look at. So I think it's zio.pino or so. If you type up zio.pino online, I think there's one at the rocks or something you might get confused with. But zio.pino.maskot. If you go to Instagram, you can have a look at it.

1:01:04And it's about the third one down. You can see, to me, the the wall of so nice goodness that they're all up there. Everyone that's signed. Yeah, you can have a look at that. Apologies to. I'm seeing Sammy Burgers. I'm seeing Hamish Blake. I'm seeing Maddie Stutton. I'm seeing Petro Sevener Siva. I think that might be Trell Mert. This is going to be so embarrassing just listen to those names. That is very time. That's criminal that we're doing. Yeah, it's I'm seeing Lisa Jones. Oh, look. I'm seeing John Sutton. Yeah, there's a few names up there that are not a else worth noting. And people that actually achieve things in their lives. When they don't let me do it, and I have to do it, I'm going to take Hamish Blake down and put it in front. It's putting in place in the Hamish place. I'm sorry, mate. I absolutely love that. There's a couple of roosters up there too. I imagine you'll be taking them down. I'll be taking them down even if I don't come along. Yeah, well, if Teddy Flops is a much more capable cat

1:02:04than I'll take him down. Yeah, very fair. Although he's Italian, I think that might be a bit sacrilege to take an Italian person down. I don't know if that's a play on. Awesome. Is that us? Yeah. Yeah. For the year. That's us for the year. Guys, you got your jerseys there on the way you're going to have to take your say. They will be here very soon. And we will send them out to you as immediately as we have them in our polls. Get them out to you guys. I'm going to send the prize winners, prizes this week. Beautiful. Next week, latest. They'll be coming out to you guys to keep your eyes peeled for those jerseys coming. I'm meant to get them in the next week or 10 days. So once I've got them, I'll be packing them up. Immediately and send them out. Once I do have them, I want to go to them and exact date for you guys. I'll put it on the Instagram so you guys are aware of it. If you do have any concerns, just send us an email and we can cross bond with you there. And thank you very much for this year. It's been a fucking unreal year of supercoach. We fell world catadad, which was sad to see.

1:03:05Man do go, but we welcome Maddie back onto the show. I'm really excited for next year. If he's in break events, it's going to be a cracker. Absolutely. We're very, very lucky to have the community that we have. The people that support the podcast, people that come along to the Rue Corvette, to the Playbook event, so that sort of stuff. And we built a great community that we've been lucky to have over these years. So yeah, once again, thank you to the team for all the support. I think the peak moment for me this year to me was definitely the Magic Crown show. Oh yeah. We essentially came from the bloke show before that, where honestly, I think we had more people that showed up to the Bees and Break even show, which was fucking unreal to see. Seeing all the hats and everything and all the community that came out and where that show was, it was fucking, you might not have Magic Crown won. No, I was at a box. Yeah, that's right. But it's like I saw the photos. Yeah, it just, it looked incredible. It was unreal. It really was fantastic. And all the community showed out, even like the Magic John show was on before us, and even out of Bees and Break even's hats and jerseys sitting in the crowd, just getting a good spot waiting for Bees was just fucking out. I hope you did that. I want to be part of that. We'll be doing it. Don't worry about that.

1:04:05We'll be doing it. So even if that don't invite us back, we're just going to do it. We're going to do it. B-Y-O-M-I-S. And if the Crown Brisbane thinks they're going to keep their way for four days, it's horribly wrong with you. So yeah, guys, thank you for your support this year. It's been fucking unreal. We cannot wait to be back next year. A very exciting year incoming, and we will be kicking off. Probably our pre-season episodes next year, but then around one, we will have our Z-A-P-No video with a very sad loser. And I think whoever is the loser this weekend probably needs to front the camera with some content. Yeah, I think so. To let people know. To tell you what, it's a long time to wait for you at doing that. Yes. In fact, I think if it's one of us two, Monday on Blow, we probably need a fronter. Yeah, because I can't do it on Sunday, because I'll be 48 hours into a box, but Monday morning, I'm going to turn it off on Monday. Fuck, I'm going to think about that. It's going to be grand. Think about that later. Yeah, you know, he's going to walk out the home bush in the next two weeks, because Panthers didn't make the grand final. That was his face and music there. Oh my goodness.

1:05:06It's only four hours. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Actually five, I've had double checks. Oh no, no. We've got places to be, birthdays to celebrate, etc., etc. So we will see you next year. Oh, that's sad to say, Tim. Yeah. I'm going to miss all these little fuckers. I will see you next year here on Bees and Breakavans. Changing jobs, freelancing, starting your own business.
