0:00Hi, this is Pablo Torei from Pablo Torei finds out and today I want to talk to you about Boost Mobile because we spent a lot of time analyzing inefficiencies in sports, over value contracts, money tied up in the wrong places, and so on, but those inefficiencies aren't just on a roster, sometimes they're in your own monthly expenses. Boost Mobile says switching to their $25 unlimited forever plan can unlock up to $600 in savings a year. That's $25 a month for unlimited data, talk and text when you bring your own phone. If that money is trapped in a pricey phone bill, it might be worth a second look. Visit BoostMobile.com to learn more. After 30 gigabytes, customers may experience lower speeds, customers pay $25 per month as long as they remain active on the Boost Mobile and Limited Plan. Savings claim based on a January 2026 Boost Mobile Survey of 1,000 Americans with single line on limited plans, comparing average annual payments of major carriers to 12 months on the Boost Mobile and Limited Plan.

1:22Granger. For the ones who get it done. Can I guys welcome back to the rugby league guru podcast. We've got your Friday preview along with all of our predictions heading into tonight's two games, two pretty good games coming your way as well just quietly Friday night that I am looking forward to. We obviously kick off in New Zealand with the wires absolutely on fire at the moment taking

2:22on the West Tigers and then of course we've got the Battle of Brisbane coming our way after that. The Brisbane Broncos and the Dolphins going head to head from Suncorp Stadium going to be a really good night of footy once again here on the guru podcast brought to you by Ned's jump onto the Ned's app and follow along with all of our bets this weekend. We kicked off last night with a not a unit scupper, a unit scupper, shit the bed but we kicked off with a triple last night on about even so good to see $2.50 triple with the new rules on about even as well. We get to roll that into another triple tonight in this first game. We'll get to that very, very soon and explain our thought process to you on that bet but I'm feeling pretty good on it tonight another $2.50 bet in that game but let's get stuck into obviously last night guys as we said the roosters getting it done over the manly seagulls sort of went a little bit as we expected I guess 33 points to 16 you know manly

3:23a scut off the first play which was really impressive off the kickoff to me I think it's an enormous red flag when you're using trick play you've had two weeks to prepare and you're using trick plays off the kickoff in the pissing rain to try and get on the board but yeah I've said from the precess and I'm really worried about the manly seagulls this year and my concerns continue to grow I didn't think the roosters were fantastic by any means they still look very, very clunky in reality but yeah when the roosters when the manly seagull scored in the first minute you know you take that out realistically it's 33 to 10 and as I said I understand but they scored what the fuck are you talking about the optics of showing up when you're 0 and 2 and you've had two weeks to prepare off a bite your home ground when it's pissing with rain and off the kickoff you try a trick play I personally took that as a big negative for the manly seagulls we'll talk about it more in the rapid review this week but shout out to DC I thought he was pretty good last night getting the job done there the seagulls obviously led at half time but the roosters managed to get the job done in the end pretty disappointing night for James Tedesco from

4:26a super coach point of view I thought he did more than the point he got points he got if I'm completely honest I ran for 200 meters or so but he just didn't get any of those attacking stats a few issues around actually getting him good ball in this game but yeah outside of that a couple of HIAs and everything that sort of impacted this game that I would say obviously I was on the live stream with hello sport but I think they probably impacted the senior roosters a little bit more than the manly seagulls and they still managed to get the job done so pretty alarming as a whole there for manly but let's get stuck into the games coming your way the afternoon and tonight the New Zealand Warriors and the West Tigers the first game there 6 p.m. from Auckland when we have a look at the side that has been named for the Wars went through it earlier in the week but obviously chance he returns at fullback Adam Pompey returns in the centers Luke Metcalf at five eight with Tanner Boyd in the seven keen to see how they go combining together luck out on the edge Aaron Clark in the 13 the bench healy Mitch Barnett via Manga Stau a Smith near

5:30Corre and Chanel Harris to meet a certain to picking not on that six man bench as it stands right now for the West Tigers we've had the 24 hour cut and we've still got Adam Dewey who looks to be featuring in this one so big watch there I can't believe Dewey's playing even if he is 100% sweet to go without getting all good and talus on everyone I just don't know with a guy with his sort of injury history and everything coming off you know something happened last week it wasn't nothing I just don't know if I'd be putting him out there in New Zealand but maybe that's me being over the top and having no idea what I'm fucking talking about the West Tigers they remain the same as they were named on Tuesday the Harves Adam Dewey obviously half back jock Madden at five eight outside of that pretty much same team that they named last week Lato fine who he is the same as Tain Torpicky is just off that six man bench but he is still available to be picked in Aaron a half before kickoff so we'll wait and see what they do there if they do play Dewey or not yeah I think it's wild but once again guys maybe I'm just being over the top I'm not within the four walls and no exactly what's going on I just it's not a risk that I would take personally now

6:35when I have a look at this game I've got a bet tonight that I absolutely love in this game I think the Warriors win I think they win well I'm sort of betting on Dewey not being now I think the Tigers are going to really struggle for points and I love the New Zealand Warriors in defense they look fantastic and they just look fit I spoke about this last week them in the Panthers I know they're obviously winning games are football and all that sort of stuff but you look at those two teams when they get to that 60th minute they just look fresher than anyone else in this competition to me so I'm loving the look of the New Zealand Warriors whatever they've done this preseason I think they have absolutely hit it for six there I was completely wrong about them in the preseason I'm very excited see how it plays out for them this season when I look at this game my favorite bet in this game which I'm going to triple stake on about even taking a big punty going back to back triples you're getting $2.50 you can find it on the neds up for there to be under 50.5 points in this game my thought process is it's going to be a little bit wet over there because it's been waiting it's been raining the last few days obviously you've got Tana Boyd and Luke Meckard coming back to the side I think this

7:35will be a sensational combination personally but it wouldn't surprise me if it takes a week or two just to find their feet and work out their combos and everything so I reckon that might limit the amount of points the Warriors score and I just think their defense is too good I can't say the Tigers scoring more than three tries on this side especially if it is wet conditions we've seen the West Tigers have they like to play their football it's a lot of offloads it's moved the football it's play risky play and I think that's how the Tigers should play and I think it's how they have to play against the Warriors but obviously in the wet without Jerome LeWire what not potentially without Dewey I just think there'll be a lot of turnovers for the Tigers so I do have the Warriors winning and winning well I've got under 50.5 in this game I don't see the Tigers scoring more than two tries or so so I think if the Warriors if the Tigers can just keep them to sub 40 points I really like that and then as I said the Warriors the only team to score more than 20 points in this game I absolutely love $2.50 for that bet you can find that on the Neds app on the Guru profile I will be tripling that one for about even today so you'll see content around that coming a little

8:36bit later but very excited about that play all right let's have a look at Trisco is in this game look a lot of the Warriors very very short I think though it has to be the man at the moment Tana Boyd $3.60 is scored in his last three games I think the other thing with Tana is I think you would get an enormous confidence boost this week knowing that Luke Meccalf is coming in and playing five eight Tana Boyd has earned that jersey he has been incredible so far you've got a guy that if it wasn't for injury I think he wins a Dalian medal last year at halfback coming into play five eight in this side I don't mind Tana Boyd at $3.60 as my Trisco ring play here if I'm looking for a little value play last week we had Aaron Clark at $6.50 I love the value in him last week he crossed last night we had Connor Watson he crossed which was good to see I'm going to take in this one Michi Barnett $8.75 I think his minutes will continue to improve I think that in this game if the Warriors do good out to a lead they might leave Miche Barnett out there to get some meters in the legs so I think you'll play more minutes and what he did last week 8.75 for Miche Barnett he's

9:38my little wildcard there but I like Tana Boyd at $3.60 as far as the Tigers go no one's really jumping out of me I'm not quite sure where their points are going to come from in this one so I'm just going to leave them all together I just I don't think they're going to score too many points my bets sort of reflect that so just give me my $2.50 bet the Warriors to be the only team to score 20 plus points and the and the unders to be 50 and a half $2.50 for that find that on my neds app get on that I feel very confident on that one G speaking of being confident on something this next game I have no idea whatsoever this might just be a sit back and enjoy this one for the Broncos obviously you got Adam Reynolds returning into the side add half back outside of that the backline remains the same the big out though is of course paying half not playing in this one Savvy Wilson's been named in the front row with Peer Cura coming back into the starting side on the left edge Pat Carrigan in the 13 Ricky on the right the bench hunt Tolti Oblix Taffa Shibasaki Jaden Hunt and Var Semu I don't know too much about so Blake Moses dropped out of the side

10:44to be the 19th man they're interesting or 20th man whatever it is now let's have a look at the Dolphin side for this game I don't think they've had any changes to this side that was named the other day the backline it remains the same Tom Gilbert and Flesca Fusia front plath in the nine Lemuelo and Finney Filiacchi on the edges Nulls in the 13 Schneider Flagler Keely Stone Follett and Francis Molo make up your Dolphins bench there look on neds the Dolphins are $2.20 the Broncos are $1.67 favorites I've got no idea how this one is going to go but I think if you're going to have a little punts on this game I do think there's really good value in the Dolphins at $2.20 you're just it's weird with the Broncos you take pain hearts out that obviously hurts you add Adam Reynolds in and his combination with Reese Walsh over the last you know 10 games I'll say there's a lot of question marks around it so I don't mind the Dolphins here but I really have no idea how this game is going to play out it's probably a game that I will just sit back and enjoy if I'm completely honest but as a whole I think there is value in some Dolphins triscores I think Finney Filiacchi is the

11:44one to get on here $4 gets the good matchup on that edge I think they'll send a lot of traffic the way of Ezra Maem in this game so Finney Filiacchi at $4 I like the play of him in this game you've obviously got the center on that side is Jacob Rilo who's been in good form as well scored a double last week it's actually scored in his last four games Jacob Rilo so I think that right edge of Jacob Rilo Jermaine Asako and Finney Filiacchi is where I would be going I think the Dolphins are going to really heavily target that spot I've mentioned Herbie Farm with the last few weeks I think at $2.25 there is still a lot of value but my thoughts are similar to that all the super coach captains here on Herbie that Tim pointed out the other day I am getting more and more worried that they will just go so heavy at Ezra Maem in this game so I would lean towards the guys on the right hand side of the field for the Bronx I'm not exactly sure where their points come from they're the Broncos they will be points they will score plenty it'll probably be Risi Walsh realistically but I'm just not entirely sure what we're going to get out of the Broncos tonight I think I know what what we'll get out of the Dolphins I think they'll put up a good fight and I think

12:45the value play is on the Dolphins and some of those right hand side tri scorers I'm not saying I think it will happen but I do think there is a little bit of value in jumping on the Dolphins at 13 plus they're at $4.80 we know Brisbane sometimes they just don't get off the fucking bus it's been a big week off the field they got up for the Melbourne Storm game this week wouldn't shock me if we get a real ambush from the Dolphins in this game and they win 13 plus I think there's good value there I've on an interesting the player points Adam Reynolds now unfortunately it's pretty short here for well the the the betting market of Adam Reynolds I would hope I was hoping you could sort of bet on him to not score many points because maybe Risi Walsh would go kick we'll wait and see without him Reynolds just returning but that doesn't really fit the bill unfortunately so yeah Finney Filiaki is in incredible form at the moment I think he's in career best form he's probably the guy that I would be looking at in this game but as I said this is a game that I think I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the first game though I do think there is a lot of opportunity with New Zealand players there and I think as well betting on the Unders and the only

13:48warriors to score 20 plus points in that game I think there is a little bit of value there in that one as I said guys I will be tripling that one tonight so that'll be a big watch for me on about even getting on that double triple which would give us about 18 units so yeah that would make a big difference on the show obviously prices subject to change what's gambling really costing you for free and confidential support call 1-800-858-858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org immersing yourself in all things soccer ahead of this summer's world cup I'm Alex Abnos senior sports editor from the Guardian and whether you're a soccer beginner or you know the game inside and out we've got you covered read watch and listen as our journalists connect the dots between the games the cultures and this political moment we'll have daily newsletters throughout the tournament reporters on the ground with all the big teams and the legendary football weekly podcast the Guardian bringing you the whole picture on soccer search guardian soccer for more

14:52today's episode is brought to you by Ned's the very best in the business and back on board for season 2026 I'll tell you what I turn the eyes to round four of the NRL season and I just think there's a couple of games this weekend that I think pretty short favorites win and I think with these six against and everything going on I think they are absolutely begging for some same game multies this week I look at the roosters the DCE Cup at Brookfowl oval Thursday night early in the week but I think DCE returns to Brookfowl and I think he really puts the shoe in demandly there I love the roosters this one I think there will be points and I think you can get some really good same game multies around the roosters I feel the same about the New Zealand warriors taking on the West Tigers over there in New Zealand Luke Metcalf Metcalf shout out to him he returns this week you've got the West Tigers without Jerome Lui I'll wait I'll believe it when

15:54I see it that Adam do he's going to play this weekend I wouldn't be risking it I love the New Zealand warriors this weekend another one I think there is a few anytime try scores that are absolutely begging for it this weekend another game that I look at that I think exactly the same is probably the Canary Bulldogs and of course the Penra Panthers I know Paramata have a good record against Penra but they are just looking too good at the moment and Paramata they did everything they could they could to lose that game last week they were just lucky they came up against the dragons and then of course the same game multi mechorad might be the Melbourne Storm against the North Queensland Cowboys they are asking for it the Melbourne Storm they could score 50 in that one given the Cowboys defense number of these games they are begging for same game multies and the best place to do it is on the Neds app make sure you tune into about even this week all of our bets the boys are high flying every single panel member hit last week which is a genuine modern day miracle you will not see that happen too many times so make sure you jump onto the Neds
