Kenty on Tallis vs Reynolds, Walsh Stirs it Up & Round 3 Preview

0:00Get out and we're going to Kenny Blitz your daily hit of in our own news. We're back with the one and only Paul Kent Kentie welcome. Thanks mate. Nice to be back. We thought the other day went all right. Yeah you did well. Very good. Well let's start with some disturbing scenes out of Dragon's Headquarters today with lock up Pacifica Tonga taking away in an ambulance with a stretcher and a neck brace and it didn't look great serious neck injury coming out of there. Yeah it didn't look great. Look it was yeah by sound as it was just a they're doing defensive drills it was a fairly standard type of tackle that they were going through but he just he didn't get up off the ground and told everybody had a neck problem. It sounds like he's okay though when the senders know fractures that's which would make it soft tissue and if there's I say that no movement in the vertebrae then the spinal cord is obviously okay. So I think Dragon's have done well

1:01basically to take every precaution but the good news is it looks like he'll be getting up walking out of hospital reasonably soon. Yeah very much so he's obviously the future of the club a young 20 year old front rowers don't come around very often if he's so good luck to him and let's let's hope he gets back on the field soon. It's a great little quates coming out of the Brisbane Broncos with Reese Walsh. Yeah. Reigniting the storm with reigniting the fight with Storm level Stefano. Did you read those? I had a look at it. It might be interesting to see you might get what a little bit of a return served in the game on tomorrow night. So if you haven't seen a Reese Walsh posted a photo of him in a black hoodie and it's at all all barked no bite and of course that's referring to Stefano's comments before the great one. We think it's referring to him. We think it is yeah. Allegedly referring to his comments before the grand final last year. Yeah look I think it's just great for the game that sort of stuff to be fair. It fascinates me. Boxers will get there before

2:02a fight and they'll say the most disgusting things about each other in some instances and out of that it builds the fight, it builds the tension, often it's genuine and I get it because you can't hit the guy any harder than what you already want to hit him and I think the same theory really applies in rugby league. You can't tackle by getting harder than you're going to tackle him anyway. This whole don't say nothing. Don't give them something to pin up on the dressing room wall. That all goes back to the 80s era with Jack Gibson and Warren Ryan and not wanting to motivate the opposition and it's just a bit of a lag out of that and I think I think it's good to the players speak freely when they do and it just adds to the contest, it adds to the theatre around the game. And the hatred. Yeah and look at whether they generally dislike each other or not I don't know. I doubt I doubt they even really know each other to be fair. But certainly it gets fans interested gets me talking and I think it's good for the game. Yeah absolutely and we always ask the players, you know, talk openly and freely. So I don't think so. I don't think you

3:06talk about this would be really slated all over what he said last year in the Grand Fallon and Ruse again he's in total to have his say before this game. It's just I love the confidence he says before going down the Melbourne where they haven't won in a long long long long time. Ten years I think something like that. Yeah. What about the other big news overnight you saw on your old stomping grounds 360? There was a bit blue between your mate Gordy and Peter Badell. Yeah look at it. I thought Badell did very well. Okay. I thought he handled it really well. I think Gordy I thought his argument was pretty sort of skinny to be fair. Look the fact is let me just go through a couple things. So he's upset that Adam Reynolds got on the plane. He had a go at him about that. He had a crack at him as captain that he should have played. A couple of things that haven't been I haven't heard mentioned anyone anyway is one. Adam Reynolds did fly down the Sydney to do that television appearance. He might have already known by then he wasn't playing. So Gordy

4:10was he should have been rehabbing himself. He should have got himself right and then Gordy was all over the prove right because he he tempted to play or attempted to train and was unable to get through the week stage to put him down. Well if you knew he wasn't playing then why did he get picked? Well he got picked because Mark McGuire will always pick injured players. The last thing Mark McGuire wants to do is give Melbourne a couple days head start working on Ben Hunt at half back as opposed to Adam Reynolds and now Melbourne they're so professional they would have been doing it anyway. They would have said look there's a chance here. Okay. So but that's just the way the game rolls coaches always name players who are 50 50 even though we all publicly think they're 50 50 who they know and not going to play and they'll just make a late change. I think it's disgraceful actually that they're allowed to change the game and not announce they're they're line up until an hour before the game. Why? Because I think if you go as a fan if you want to go to a game you go to see some people want to go to see a certain player by time and now you're already there at the game. Secondly the NFL takes you in tens of millions of dollars a year

5:12in sports gaming and that might not mean any to people who don't want to gamble on rugby league but the fact is if the NFL is going to take the money off the gambling and off the punters then they deserve to tell the punters what's going on. In the NFL in America it's just it's just totally forbidden. They need total transparency. They even have every training session filmed so if a coach wants to do a little bit shifty a shifty deal and name a player that doesn't train all week and won't play they can say well hang on you didn't try and see clearly wasn't going to play you can't you can't put it down to late injury. The the NFL does a real disservice to the fans in that area that the team should be announced much much earlier and the coaches are bit your own about it but bad luck you take the money you do to do. I saw a report recently I don't know if it's public but it said that the NFL got $55 million a year. There you go. $55 million a year and the punters aren't allowed to find out the starting lineup until an hour before the game. When again Adam Reynolds's name Tuesday when

6:14they knew he wasn't going to play. I think the other thing about Adam Reynolds is he's sitting himself up for a career post football right. He's done after this year and and he does one day a week at Fox. Well he said himself up he worked last year at Fox and he probably didn't do enough appearances last year nothing I had to talk to him about that. So he needs to get a few up this year. He does talk very well about the game. I think you'll do a very good job when he gets in that area. So I've got no problem in getting the end at the other parts this. It's a rib cartilage right. So now the rib cartilage you can't strap and you can't needle up okay so you can't just say okay I'm going to play through the pain and there's very little blood flow so when you talk about flying there's very little blood flow to the cartilage that's why it's such a slow healer and it's so difficult to recover from but the change in you know the problem with flying while they don't like people flying when they got soft tissue injuries is because of the change in air pressure affects the injury you know affects the blood flow in your into your injured area. That's not going to be the case in this instance. Now you know Gory tells

7:17you how tired he gets you know he didn't you know he doesn't say about the 15 schooners he has on the plane yeah well before he gets on the plane but yeah it's just it's just something mate I just I just think it goes back to Gordy's gripe against Brisbane which we know it's all there it's all about overkevy and what happened there and there's a couple other things he hasn't spoken about that he holds close to his chest but it manifests itself in a way that just doesn't look good for me. If I don't chat to him I just say mate just dial it back a bit. Yeah I think yeah I think we need to because it's just taking over at the moment. Let's talk about Joey John's little interesting article I love these articles in the SNH every Thursday and today you talked about his love of the six again and how it would introduce the the small players back the Alfie Langer's you know as as the games open up yeah it gives an opportunity for the small playmakers to get back involved. Yeah it does and we're seeing we're seeing the games sort of turn around again you know the player Paul Crawley spoke about it now and I think actually Joey sort of

8:21borrow a bit of an idea off Paul Crawley actually because he came out early in the week and said that he likes the six again because it encourages his fast play and it gets rid of that slow Malassus type football we'll play under the wrestle so when Crawley comes on Monday he said that Joey called you up and said he liked the idea. Yeah well you probably heard that but I'm not sure if I did know that yes but anyway and I agree with it look that's that's that's that's a benefit of it uh really is look there's I've been critical of the six again but I do like the six again in many ways there's there's falls and against with it and I think we that's where we need to focus on everyone's it's good, get rid of it, bad, sorry, good, keep it bad, get rid of it. But I think we probably have to try and find somewhere to manage it somewhere in the middle there. I think it's the rules there to stay. I can tell you that. It's not going to get changed. Kitty, why can't the referees just have the bloody microphone there? And when it's a six again, they click a button and say what it's for. Good. Yeah, easily. Yeah. That's what I've got to do.

9:21But again, this is the half-ast management of the NR rule. But they don't think of things like that. They don't come up with things like, look, I'll give you one. Remember years back, there was an issue with a field goal right into the game and the clock got wrong. The clock was wrong on the 40 and there's a full-time call, right? In terms of, we're going to fix that, we're going to get out and we're going to coordinate and synchronise the clocks between the television coverage, the ground clock, which the fans and the players can see. And the ground manager, who has no one knows what he's clocked, but he's the official one. Okay, he still hasn't been done. He still hasn't been done. Now, when you think about it, all the players have is the clock that they can see on the scoreboard. That should be the clock. But that's not. The ground manager has a different clock, often different clock, going on up in the grandstand. And that's just simple management that the pollucas in there just haven't got their heads around yet. To try and get the referee with a microphone, that he can just say, holding down or not square. To the heart for them. Same. So obviously the other thing that pissed me off

10:26and they fixed it up. Channel 9 used to have the time used to go up. Right? So you never used to it. Like if you're new to the game, you never knew how long to go. They've only this year, or the end of last year, changed it to an hour to go down. So from 40 down, stupid, small things, what the hell's going on. Anyway, now we're fired up. We've got a few ass cantees, cantees. That's what the crowd want. That's what the people want. So we've got a couple. He's one from Miss last century. The NRL always asks or wants to speed up the game. How about ditching scrums? We've talked about this a hundred times by the way. But in the old days, teens competed for the ball and the scrum, which stopped years ago because the ball is fed in the second row. What's the point of how many scrums? Scrums are basically a chance to reset the game. That's why I get it. Look, I think if you got rid of scrums and just went, it's going to turn into soccer, except through the hands. That's what the game will turn into. And yeah, look scrums are basically a chance to reset. They're an attacking opportunity. They're a chance to basically get the game together. And to be fair, I don't know if you want to keep continuing

11:26down this path of making the game faster. I think the game's fast enough, particularly with the six against. And I don't think I think the players already, they're finding out official ways to slow the game down. Now that they get a penalty, they'll call a committee meeting. In the old days, they used to get the penalty, get the ball while they're quickly rolling up the line, kickers, kicking for touch. The captain's already telling them what they're going to play. And they used to jog to the tap. Nowadays, they stop, they have a talk about it. What do you think? What do you think? I'll go through it. Then some go, I'll come forward and go, I'm going to have a kick for touch. You'll put it into touch. And then they walk, and they basically slow jog, if not walk to the tap. So they're following on it. Quick in the game, I'll bring for you in just by fixing those. The scrums, even the scrums. Now, as soon as there's a scrum, they all walk to the scrum. They all, you get a bunch of vision, you know, when Fox balls and what's the old 80s, guys, they used to jog to the scrums, jog to the scrums. But I don't get that there's just a straight into formation, straight into the scrum. The scrums would stop not because they were slow on the game down. They'll stop because we kept having too many scrum restarts.

12:29And you can have the ball get kicked out of the tunnel, the out in the tunnel, again, things like that or someone that collapsed or whatever. And they just re-set the scrum and it just became too bothersome for the game. But I do like there's a restart for the game. And I think you've got to have some sort of core aspect of the old game that still exists in the new game. You can't just think, yeah, you want, if someone was transported from 9008 to watch the game today, you don't want him to sit down and say, what is this foreign game? You want him to actually be able to recognize all this is what rugby league has become. Take the scrums out, like you may as well turn into soccer. And the six tackles, I guess he would never recognize it. I hope he's fine enough to figure that out. It's interesting you mentioned about this committee meeting because I was at the South Rooster's game the other day. And I think the scores were locked and the Rooster's got to penalty. I mean, everyone was standing there. It was 30 seconds before they decided I could have kicked it out. I was unbelievable. Yeah. And so the referee in your old days, the referee would hurry him up. Come on. And I think I don't know if they used to be able to cause scrum with

13:34they were to talk to them or whatever, but they used to be able to penalize me in a way if they talked too long. You get murdered now, the referee, if you try that these days, but it wasn't a bad idea. I thought. I mean, the other thing about that is it brings, for the scrums, it brings six players in a great place. It takes, it takes players to have the offensive line from one tackle. Yep. Rooster's 1978 says, can he last season when the Bulldogs played the Panthers? There's a massive betting pledge on the Bulldogs who are outsiders just before the teams got announced. When the teams got announced, the Panthers rested 16 of the top 17 players. The Renner and RL said they were investigating it. We've heard nothing since. Yeah. It's a surprise. Look, that's exactly what I'm speaking about. Like the fact that the NRL allowed that to happen. Look, I'm not talking about resting players. I'm talking about the fact that they allowed it to be announced so late. The opponents got screwed because people were backing Penrith on good faith thing. They're going to beat Canary. The bookies got screwed because they had prices up as Penrith as a legitimate favorite to win the game. Okay. I think they'll fire us to win the game anyway. So they did

14:38they're cold and then the NRL take all their profit on turnover tax off the bookies. Beautiful. So the NRL again, cashed in the pocket. Fans get knocked around. The bloody bookies get knocked around. Everybody loses except the NRL. It's just it's it's just should not be have it shows very little integrity and you know, put as a friend of mine, but as the head of the tab, I'm sorry, New South Wales racing, he should know how important it is to keep punters on site and fans on site. The NRL gives us all this stuff about it's always about the fan. That's not about the fan. There's no bets on the game that's not a fan. Okay, very few anyway. The fact is that they got stiffed and the NRL did nothing for it and they haven't come out and said anything about it because they're the dicks in all this, you know what I mean? When you said PVL right? PVL Annie's. Yeah. Okay. Last question is from Tim Spears says in 2000, Paul Kent, so on

15:38Tuesday we did a little session on South City and you mentioned South City. Old South City versus New South City. I believe this is what he's referring to. In 2000, Paul Kent was one of the low news corp journalists that did everything they could to kill South City. When 80,000 people marched through the streets of City to protest the Ravado's exclusion, Kent's paper did not even report on the event. No integrity. Meanwhile, Albo, lifelong fan, was fighting to keep the club alive. He marched. He joined the board. He did everything he could for the club to get back. You're in no position to comment, Paul. Take that to the bank. I'll punch you. What did he say? I added that. No, he said that. Oh, punch you. Take that to the bank. Oh, punch you. Look, this guy doesn't know his ass from his elbow. Okay. Look, the fact is this, there's too much. It's 1999, 2009, 2009, I was there. No, no, no, no, no, actually worked at the Herald. Okay. I'll go and I'll find the article, right? Because I wrote about it. It was the front page of the sport lift out. Okay. So I did write about it. I was I was regarded during the Super League

16:41War as an AFL, ARL Superthosa. Okay. I had very little avenue into the Super League at the time because I worked at the Herald at Al was seen as untriendly media. Okay. So in those days, Herald was ARL. Well, that was the way it was for me. That's the way sort of the battle lines got started to get drawn. We tried to be very fair at the Herald at the time. And then in 2000, joined the Telegraph. Again, I've always been a sales city supporter of the of what they were doing. I was friendly, very friendly with George Piggins, other people there who involved in the fight. I didn't cover it in 2000. I know that I didn't cover the match. I was I don't know what I was doing, actually, but I know I didn't cover the match, but I do know the paper covered it. I think in fact, it was front page too as well in the Telegraph and the day after the March. Well, we want to look that up, actually. Well, we'll look that up and see who we can find it. But the other part too is also, yeah, people always carry on in 2005 when they sold the club. Okay,

17:46this is South Sydney. They sold the club. And this is where I don't know where the team doesn't like me, doesn't like South Sydney. Sorry, has a love for South Sydney, or is whether it's a love for a elbow. I don't know which one he is. Well, it could be all the above. But the fact is also in 2005, when they went to sell the club, it's South Sydney members did this. So 75% of South Sydney members voted to sell their club. So now you've got two billionaires on an actor that own the club, right? That's what's become of South Sydney. All right? Yeah, they've had a success. They've won it eight grand final in the 20 years since they've had ownership, private ownership. But also remember in that three in that three million dollars that they took off Russell Crowe and Peter Holmes recorded the time from memory. Also included was the leeks club building across the road in Sharma Street, six story building in Sharma Street. This is included in the three million dollars for the club. So they got six story building. They kept one floor of that for the

18:46leeks club for a little while. I got to turn you into an emerging dollar store and now it's long gone. They also got 11 apartments. They also got 272 car spaces in South Sydney. So the Ravador's sold their soul. Ravador's fans sold their soul in that sale. All right. So they sit down about how high a money they are of South Sydney fans and all the rest of it. When 75% of the club sold their club three million. But you're you're a real estate mogul yourself. Okay. You know what bargain that is. 272 car spaces. I think it's 11 units. Might be seven. But it's certainly more than five. That's seven or a le. I think it's 11. That's it's a sit down carry on. This is just a biased argument that you can just throw stones and everyone goes, I'm good on you. I'm not forgetting getting into him. It's just a dickhead argument. But there you go. What's his name? Tim? Tim Spears. Tim Spears. Easy. There you go. You're up next. All right. So it's match preview time and it's brought to us by points bets and now it's time for this.

19:51Grinfond rematch Friday night. Obviously the storm. Bronco is gearing up for a big one and points bet. They're turning up the heat with a first try scorer offer. Back up higher to score the first try. And if he scores the first or second try, so it gets over after the first guy, then you will be paid out as a winner. Triffy guy idea. Triffy gods. First or second across the line, you still win. Check your account or your personal. It's max stake limit. And of course, terms and conditions apply points bet. It's like hot sauce, but for sport. Chances are you're about to lose for free and confidential support. Call the number on the screen or visit the website. Okay. Canty, let's go. Here we go. You didn't do this last week, did you? This is the first week you've done this. This is the first week. So let's go through your picks. All right, let's go through it. So the rate is $25. Play the Bulldogs, $95, Ricky's 300 game for the rate, coaching the Raiders this week. Yeah. The Raiders need to respond this week. They're back at home. So I do think that I like them. There's been obviously

20:55the stuff going on this week of Bronson Sherry. But the fact is, they've got a rookie, not a rookie center, but I wouldn't say a new center on the right edge there. So they've got a little bit of a ritual. Yeah. Yeah. And he's not, look, he, I don't think he's the caliber player of Sherry. So I think that might be a place that the Raiders are going to aim for. I think can't ever win the game, but they've just got to get their heads right and they've got to get a bit of discipline back in the game because I can't have this really bad habit of trying to get away with all these little niggly little professional fails, you know, hold them. Just knock them all out. Just, you know, pull on the leg and they never get away, but they're not smart enough to get away with it. They're not smart enough to get away. Not, not for the, the, you know, the two times they get away but doesn't counteract the eight times they don't. And if I get a bit of distance back in the game, I think they can handle Canary. What, what is this disruption we've brought to Sherry? Does that do anything to the club? I don't think so. I don't, I don't think it does anything as far as mood or anything like that. I think it does as far as just the team structure.

21:58Crichton's going back to the left, which is he's spot, he'll be much more dangerous. And that's, that's, that's Kim's worst defensive part of the field, that right edge. Okay, they've got, they're under a lot of pressure. They, they can see far more tries in that part of their defense than anywhere else on the field. So that's going to be a real, whoever wins that, essentially, win the game. But I think just from a team structure, it unsettles them a little bit. I don't think they're going to have quite the threat that they had with Sherry in attack. But I still think Canary, the work they do around the rock with the ball should be enough. Yeah, obviously Hudson Young up up against Jacob Preston, that'll be another player. Yeah, that will you stay awake for that tonight? I can't. I'm not saying to wake real long. I can't imagine. All right, on Friday, the first game, the risk of $2.55 pay the pamphor's $50 billy smith out with a concussion from doing Bernie's down. Yeah, yeah. No, look, he's going, look, that's just a silly thing that happened. Can I just say one thing? Can you believe the roosters have to bring in man tree rules to say,

23:00you got to wear a helmet? You can't speak. What's the law? I know, but that's what I'm saying. What's the law? They shouldn't have to, but it shouldn't even have to be reminded of it. I can also understand it. I was young kid. He got on the bike and particularly those electric bikes were because they got a bit of power, they got some power to them. You can sort of lose them a little bit underneath there. But it's just I think the roosters are going to be in for a battle panorists defense has been first class. I think Trent Rolmson, I think it's a bit really low scoring game this one. I think it's just going to be too turning. This will be the love scoring game of the weekend, I think. The roosters, I think they'll, his rubber is a very good defensive coach. I think all week they will just be pouring the defensive work in. And the panorists, we already know how well they're going. They've only considered one try so far in their two games. So I, yeah, if there's, if this thing gets out of 20 point scored, I'll be very surprised. That might be a little lazy bit for us. Well, that might be a little points bit for us.

24:02Yeah, very good. Interesting. I saw Sam Walker's comments earlier in the week. He said that they were trying to emulate the panther's relentless style. The fact they never keep the ball out, they're just trying for team teams. It's going to be that war of attrition you're talking about. It's a great strategy that too. Yeah. No, nothing clear. It's an interesting last year when they played, I think that's Brisbane. He said, for the first time in a long time, they walked off thinking they just played an opposition who was fitter than them. That's a pretty big thing to say. And it's gone four years in a row when they can't. That in that four years, only once they walked off thinking the opposition was fitter than them. So they're spent their whole off summer, off season, basically, to make sure that doesn't happen again. So they're playing this high energy, high fatigue gain. Keep the ball in play. Don't give them a rest. Don't let them walk to the scrums. Don't let them have a committee meeting before the penalty. Then keep the ball in play and wear them down and get them. It's so far. It's been working tremendously.

25:04The storm, tomorrow night, play the Bronco. Storm $1.35. Bronco Street Loss 30, Adam Reynolds out. Ben Hunt comes in. Blake Moser comes into the bench. A lot's been said about Adam Reynolds. What do you think is the main difference with Ben Hunt coming in for Adam Reynolds as a kicking game? Yeah, he's kicking games. It's just not as pinpoint with this kicking game. Adam Reynolds is one of those halfbacks that always has the right kick for the right situation. Ben Hunt is a cave, but he's just not as accurate. Probably just not as quite a savvy in that area as Reynolds. The kicking game is going to take a little bit. He doesn't have a big kicking game either, Ben Hunt. I think he'd be tossing the ball to Reese Walsh. Probably some of a few damn, maybe put a few bombs up, that sort of thing, because Walsh got a bit of a kick on him, which is going to be good for Reese Walsh. He's going to have a game, right? He brings him into the game, just gets him focused, and Reese Walsh is always at his best when he's busy. He needs to be busy, and I think that just helps him keep busy. But I also just think that Melbourne will just put him in that little

26:07anaconda hole that they do, and they'll just wrestle him out of the game. They'll just squeeze them, they just put the treasure on, and I think they've just got to be too relentless for the Broncos, who are just too flirty at the moment. Broncos are coming in and out of games, and when they're out of the game, Melbourne will capitalize. I think they'll really have a look at that. There'll be a lot of attention on his remain. There's obviously well publicised 12 mistakles in the first two rounds of the season. They'll be coming after him. They'll be focused on him, but it's an interesting thing was Blake Austin was talking on a podcast this week, and he was talking about, and it's the first time I've heard everyone say it, made a mind tip me towards it. He said defensive coaches are really going to start having their money now, because of the fatigue factor we're getting in games. What's happening is the halves are getting picked on, right? They're all a lot of traffic is going their way, and the way you explain it like you said, as a half when you're defending, you said your job basically is to keep your shoulders square. As soon as you turn your shoulders either way,

27:13they can read where you're going defensively in a take advantage. I'll throw the dummy a little further past. If you turn in to come and get me, I'll throw the past. I'll put someone through behind your back. If you turn your shoulder away to look at me support, I'll throw the dummy no go through. What's happened for years and years and years, because we've had this really slow, sort of, methodical game, and we've just blocked play in the block play in the block play. All of the defensive coaches basically, well, how do they defend it? Okay, we'll defend the same way. But what's happening is the halves, because it's fatigue, then they're coming up to the defensive line, and they're saying, where's the support from inside? They're not getting it a lot they're used to, because they're tired. So they're starting to panic a little bit earlier before they get there. So what's happening is, where's my guy? Where is he? Shitty's not here. I'm going to have to make a decision, and then I make a decision, and the playmakers, coming at them, are getting more time to make the right play, and they're getting more line breaks because of that. They're either holding up or they're going themselves or they're putting the guy

28:13through. So that's, and that's probably what's killing Ezra Man these first couple games. It's the fact that it's one of the fatigue and the progress have got fatigue in a few of these games, and he's not getting the support from inside. They're isolating him defensively, and they're going through, and I think that's pretty astute thing that Austin said, you know, that they're going to go down. The game's going to go that way, and more and more, we're going to see the playmakers take advantage of this, but the one thing we do know, also, is if the playmakers have seen it on one side of the ball, then they're going to get it coming back at them on the other side of the ball, and they're going to be telling the coaches about that, and they're going to have to come up with some systems to do that. So they've got to be a bit of an adjustment here about how teams defend, and what they do. Reese Walsh comes up against to a far longer. Did you see him last week? Yeah, it's horrendous. Yeah, look, look, I think that's more a, a fan, a fan story, or a newspaper story than it is really a game story. They'll come up against each other only in times of desperation to be fair. Other than that, that yes, not like us, you know, two front rowers going at each other. All right, so my bet this week, my multi, the trying goes off to a good start,

29:16going a little bit wide this week, but I think each bet individually looks pretty good, but we'll see how they go as a multi. I've got camera straight out to win the game tonight. I think that they will have the measure of the ball logs. We've waiting to see what happens there, but the camera, I think it'll be a strong response after last week. Then we just go into tomorrow and night, the Rooster's Panthers. I think it'll be a game with not a lot's going to be given up defensively. So I think under 44 and a half points for the game in game total score, the other game Melbourne against Brisbane, Melbourne 13 plus, that's a little bit of a risk, but I think Melbourne really got Brisbane's measure. I like what they do down there. It's been a long, long time since Brisbane have played well down there and won a game. So that's part of it. And the last thing of the mouldy, the first try score, which would be my first try score of bet as well, we'll wallbreak. He's paying $7 to be first try score, but all together, the multi is paying $47 all there about. So get on that points bet. It's like hot sauce, buffer sport.

30:19playing the Warriors. Fletcher Sharp looks to be out. Yeah, I think the Warriors will smash them. Really? Yeah, I'd really like what the Knights have done so far. It is a new castle. I know that. Yeah, I just, no, I'm saying more because I'm so impressed with the Warriors, than any knock on the Knights to be fair. Yeah, we do know that we're without well. No, I don't want to talk about the Knights. We're with our ponger and then we're without brown, okay, which is too really big out. And then if Sharp doesn't play, we'll sharp won't play either. So then now back into the third string in that area, Tyson Gamble's the guy they told me about playing there. He's just not, you know, fairness, not the same caliber, but I also just think that the Warriors, they are, they're just monitoring teams at the moment. They're defense, but we're focusing on their attack, but their defense is really clicking at the moment. And I think the Knights will probably go back to the bat all night to last year where they really struggle the score points. There's another one. The Knights know points in the first half.

31:22They're just rolling off today. The whispers are Mitch Barnett may make a return for the Warriors. That would be good to see. Yeah. The Sharks $1.45 pay the Dolphins $2.70. Obviously, Sharks were monstered last week, really. Yeah. And I like the way the handle look though. I think they said that we got shown where we need to be. Yeah. I think Blake Brailer came out and said that yesterday. And that's the truth. They did get fanned out. I thought it was a bit of a soft run against the Titans. The Titans were gone. They were everywhere in Round 1. So I think that was a bit of a false economy. Look at the Sharks under that light. But last week, I think it's probably a fair, a fair indication of where they're at. And so it would be really interesting to see how they respond this week. They really need to come back. And the Warriors, the Dolphins need to come back as well, mate. They were, they were really poor in that first half. They played like this. This had this presumption that they were just going to dial in the win. And they got the back side handed to them a little bit. They did come back. I thought a lot the way they came out in the second half and put the points on. But they

32:27would have had a tough week this week with the coach, I think. He wouldn't have been happy with that. The Rabadot is on 53. Play the West Tigers 245 up in Gossford. Your old stomping ground. Old stomping ground. First going for the ever play. Was that ground? I was at really. How old were you? Eight years old. Yeah. Goss of Tannies. That was, I think the Tigers were fair price there. I know that the Rabadot has played very well last week against the Roosters. And they're in title going as favorites. But I also think that there was emotionally, they were very high last week. They didn't win the game to be fair either. So you might want to consider that. But they did go in on and up. And I think the West Tigers, they've put a lot of work in over the summer. They look fitter. They've had a couple of the amazes not playing in the centres. He's after I think a month or so. Yeah. So that was a two-cutter. You get their last weekend, but you saw it on TV? Saw it on TV. I could hear it. I could hear it. I could hear the doors open and I could hear the ground and answer and the crowds. I was hearing it as I was watching it. So it was a bit of an

33:29experience. But I tell you what, everyone talks about how great it is there and it is great. But they're still going to fix the facilities there. And that's the thing that everyone, I like all these media people who sit there from the media box or their corporate box that they're sitting and watching the game. But you get on the hill, which is the experience. That's what you want to experience. You get on the hill though. The toilet facilities and the canteen facilities. Third world. Yeah. They should just allow people to bring their own booze at like out over, I think. Yeah, bring in their own food. Just cut down the lawns. Let's go back to the 80s, where it was. One case. Yeah, one case per person. I think the SCG, the cricket you could take two cases. 48. Well, guys. Yeah. Jamie Humphries is back for South Sydney. Obviously, there's a little story that he might not get re-signed, which is probably a little bit of the has factor. They've clearly got to clear up some money in the cabinet to get pain in there.

34:31I feel sorry for him. I think he went there on a basically minimum wage contract. He did a very good job last year until the injury. He had an injury last year. He got suspended in the early parts of this year. So I feel I feel for him, but I think he's good enough to fall on a club if South. I've got to let him go. I don't need to let him go because they can't. Don't want him as a player. I think I let him go basically because they just can't afford him. The first game on Sunday, the Eels at $1.48 against the Dragons. Still a little question mark over Daniel Ackon, Selon, Kyle Flanagan, who both got ankle injuries. They believe they will play, but I think they'll leave it up to the last minute there. You'll get told now before the game if they're playing on that one. Look, they're both hard to pick. I was very strong that I did not think the Dragons would win the wooden spoon this year. A lot of people said to me, mate, you're an idiot. I just said, look, they were so hard to beat last year. They didn't have enough attack going for them, but they were still hard to beat. They've already shown this year that they're hard to beat. I know

35:33that Melbourne got away on them, but it wasn't an indication of where the game was. Melbourne got away in the last 20 minutes when they just ran out of legs. They're not without any go. What do you think of the Eels? They're hot and cold at the moment. It just depends who turned up, but I thought their first round performance as poor as it was, they just got on the back foot and didn't know how to get out of it. Pesits are young half, you're still figuring that out. Mitch Moses, if there's a criticism of Mitch Moses, I think, yeah, I don't think he's the best halfback in the game. I think Nathan is, but Mitch Moses would be my origin halfback. Close second, yeah. Well, I think I'm breaking the head of Nathan into New South Wales, okay. But one thing he can do in Mitch is again, over try. Chose too hard. When it's not going well, he tries too hard, and again, just lose the frustration in him and things like that. They got it right last week. They held the composure against the Broncos. They got behind early, but they just said, you know, and they just stayed in the game. And the Broncos played themselves out of the game and Eels were there to get them

36:37because they did. So I like that. That game's a combat stadium. Well, I want to shout out to combat stadium. That is one of the great stadiums in the NRL. If you get a chance to see your team out there this year, it is a phenomenal stadium. I love going there. Magnus and in the unbelievable. It is. I mean, that is the, I mean, I love Allianz, not so much a core, but but Combank for that crowd. Fantastic. Cowboys, $60, you play the Titans, $2.30. Both teams on zero point. This is just a dog of a game, isn't it? Dog of a game. I don't look, I don't, there's nothing to recommend this game. There's nothing. There's nothing. I honestly think, if you're a hardcore Titans or cowboy fan, you're asking yourself if you're going to watch it. So that's it. The problem for those guys too, it's also the eighth game. Everyone's this is the game when when you're and you miss this is our foot again, you go, all right, I'll give you this one. What do you want to watch? But just remember next door, my sacrifice, the game.

37:39Very good, very good. All right, Kenny, well, that's it for us. Cowboys, I'm tipping. Cowboys, there you go. Thanks for coming in again. We'll see you a couple of days next week. See you next week. Very good. Until then, goodbye. Chances are you're about to lose for free and confidential support, call the number on the screen or visit the website.
