Let's go. Let's go from as I said, a captain to a legend, and probably, right, believe in our talent. That's not a try. That's a miracle. Can I guys welcome back to the Robilogue Guru podcast. Sorry we are a little bit late getting our preview out. We're actually heaped fucking late getting our preview out this morning. I apologize for that one had a bit on this morning, but we are going to get stuck into the three games coming your way for Super Saturday. Obviously last night at a normal night in the rugby league, Stratosphere, we obviously had the Tigers pulling a huge upset against the New Zealand Warriors, absolutely bedshitting my about even bet last night, which is a fucking shocker. We then had the Broncos who also got the win over the Dolphins 26.2, 12 there in the battle of Brisbane, a wild two weeks from Brisbane, but two wins on the try. Very good to see for the Broncos. But probably the biggest news of the night really is so his Anthony Seabolt sucked by the Manly Seagulls. I personally believe Manly have made the right decision. I said the other day that Jason King coming into this franchise. He is not a guy that
fucks around. He is happy to pull the trigger where it needs to be pulled, and it wouldn't shock me whatsoever if he's had a big say in this decision. I think they've made the right call. You never want to see a coach sacked officer who receives all the very best, but I thought it was very, very evident that it simply wasn't working at the Manly Seagulls and there had to be a change there. So I think this is a good call by the Manly Seagulls. I think it is one that they had to make. The start of the season, we tip them for the wooden spoon. I think they're at $17 on Ned's or something. I think now they're into something like $4 for the wooden spoon. To be completely honest with you, unfortunately for me, I actually don't think they're going to get the wooden spoon. I think that we're here in for and coming in. I think here we'll get an immediate response out of them. I think a change of scenery and everything. From a coaching point of view, I think it'll have an immediate effect on the Manly Seagulls. I still don't think they'll be a top eight side, but I don't think they are going to be a total train record team that finishes last this season. So yeah, big news there. Obviously sea bold. I mean, this coaching
career has been bizarre. If the back of what he did at South Sydney, obviously he took the Broncos to a wooden spoon. The Manly Seagulls really haven't fired a shot in the time. He's been there. I think they're probably in their worst point right now. So yeah, I'm not sure how much of a future sea bold has as far as a coach in the NRL. But as me and Siao, we always talk about for some, for whatever fucking reason, whenever these jobs pop up, they just go to guys who have sat in the seats before regardless of what they've achieved or what they've done. So we'll say how it plays out. But for me, I don't think if I was a club, I could be hiring Anthony Seagulled as my head coach heading into the future. All right, let's have a look at the games coming away this afternoon. 3PM Bulldogs. Nights for the Canterbury Bulldogs. No changes to their backline from last week in their forward packs. Still to Benuele, he starts in the front row. But that's about it. Sean O'Sullivan on the bench as well. I said during the week, I think if the Bulldogs get out to a lead here, you might see an outside back, probably Tawala come from the field.
Sean O'Sullivan go on to the field and start to play half back and Bert and move to center. I just wonder if they'll start the second advantage of that transition over the next couple of weeks. For the Nights, the big news, fletch a sharp. I didn't expect him to play. He has been named the coach and said he's ready to go. So we're huge in for the new cast for Nights. Great to see Sharpie back on the field. The other one there is Trey Mooney obviously out of this game. So Tyson Brazil starts in the front row. Maddie Croaker named in the 13th this week as well. Like he starts every single other week. He had big test for the Nights. I said during the pre-season, I think the forward pack is serviceable when they're at full strength. But when you start take guys out, all of a sudden it looks a little bit weaker. The main guy for me is Trey Mooney. It's taking him here. Him out will be a huge test. Been a big few weeks for Newcastle coming against this cannery defensive side. I just find it very hard to go past the Bulldogs in this game. If I'm looking for Tri-scoreers, I do look at fletch a sharp. I like the look of him three dollars and 15 cents if he's good to go. You know, I was a little bit iffy, but I thought the same about Adam Dewey last night. He absolutely flew. So fletch a sharp. I don't care how good you are
defensively. He is such a freak. He can cross in any game. $300, $15. I don't mind. I love Stephen Crichton. $2.25 gets to match up against Dane Gagai here who we know defensively can have his issues. I think critters just on top of the world right now. And I think it's pretty evident with the way they've picked this side and the changes they've made that the left edge is going to get a lot of footies. So critter at $2.25. I like that. And my little smoky from the Bulldogs is Satelli Tupenori. He's out about fives in this game. I can see him potentially crossing in this game. I'm pretty good with our smokies. So far this season. And I've got a feeling about Satelli in this one. I think my about even better. I'll just get it up to confirm with you guys. It is $2.95. I've got the under 46.5 in this game and the Bulldogs, the other 10 to score 20 plus bluff in my face. Yes, they were the West Tigers. But I just think the Knights, I think they're still going to be a little bit clunky missing their stars. I think Tramuni will really hurt them around the middle. And I just think the Bulldogs, their focus will be defense. As I said, I still not
convinced about their halves. I still think it's a little bit clunky there. So I can see the Bulldogs winning. I can see it sort of being a, you know, 30 to 10 sort of score line in favor of the Bulldogs. So the under 46.5 and the Bulldogs, the other team just scored 20 plus points. I'm just not sure if the Knights with players missing in Tramuni are going to be able to score more than, you know, four tries in this game really. So $2.95, under 46.5 and dogs, the other team just score 20 plus in this one. All right. Let's move to the second game. We've got the Panthers and the Eels. We spoke about it with Savage. You in the week. Can't believe this is the 530 game. But anyway, for the penalty of Panthers, the only big change is Jack Kogger returns to the side. He will come off the bench. So I say, yeah, we'll probably play a few less minutes there. For the parameter Eels, obviously, you may hope good out for the season, which is absolutely devastating. You've also got Jordan Sumrani, who was out as well. So Brian Kelly, he comes into the center's big opportunity for him. He got Dylan Walker, who starts in Jersey 13. So I'm can see how this plays out. I assume they're really going to miss his impact off the bench. The big news for me though is Jack Debellon.
He's not on the six man bench. He's the seventh man there. So sort of the old 18th man there. I'm a bit surprised. Jack Debellon hasn't come into the side. I thought he was pretty average in his first two games. Paramata, but I thought the injury to make hope good would mean that he would become relevant. I think Sam Tuivati is a big watch for them coming off the bench as is Luca Mareti as well. But Tuivati, he could really explode over the next few weeks. Now, now there is some minutes up for grabs there at the parameter Eels. Okay. Similar story guys, I find Penraith really hard to go past in this game. Just, yeah, I find them very, very hard to walk past. You've got Penraith at pretty short, you know, pretty short odds there. But I didn't, they will get the job done. I think defensively, they will be too good for this parameter. Eelside who, I know they won against the dragons last week, but my god, they're far from impressive. I think they were very lucky. The dragons were just shit house. So I think Penraith put on a bit of a score here. My try-score that I like in this game is Liam Martin. He gets the match up against Jonah Pizzett. Good teams. They absolutely peppy your weakness and build a game plan
around it. I have no doubt whatsoever that the Penraith Panthers are going to send a ridiculous amount of traffic at Pizzett this week. So I can see Liam Martin crossing at $3.90. When you got a guy like him on an edge who is just an absolute dog, you know, he's going to go any more night. So Liam Martin, $3.90, Casey McLean. I also like him. He's very short. I hate to have been things under $2. Do you guys? But the reality is the Panthers are so short. Here's a case of McLean. I think he's a good guy to throw in your same game multi as well. I assume Brian Kelly will have the job of marking Casey McLean. I personally don't really think he's up to it. It's a case of McLean $1.88. Liam Martin at $3.90. And my about even better in this game is Liam Martin into the Panthers to be the only team to score 20 plus. You're getting $5.73 since for that one. I like the play there. All right. Last game of Super Saturday, four rounds, four. We've got the Cowboys and the Melbourne Storm going head to head. Obviously up there in Townsville for the Cowboys. Tommy Chester out of this one with the Suspension Zach Leibut comes into the centers. You've also got Tom McCaley returning on the bench as well. Caden Lars has been moved to
the bench as well, which is good to see. I would be having him in my side personally. For the Melbourne Storm, Nick Meney's been ruled out. We reported that earlier this week in the Rukru first place. It was in there. So make sure you come and join the Rukru links down below in the description. So Nick Meney's out. So he got so lucky jumping onto the wing there who's a very talented young man. He actually scored. He actually came on late last week and about played the last three minutes or so. Alex McDonald lines up on the left edge. Trent Leary on the right. I would assume Cooper Clarke will come on and spend some minutes on the left edge as well there. You got David Mwiley, Jack Heatherington and Vatare who have been named on the six man bench for the Melbourne Storm. All three played in New South Wales Cup last week. Jack Heatherington, I believe you went the distance last week as well. So hopefully we get to see him get on the field for the first time for the Melbourne Storm. Now this game on Ned's Melbourne very short price favourites at $1.22 similar to the Panthers game. I think this is a bit of a fill up game as far as same game multies. I'll say this about the Melbourne Storm. They look sensational. They're
killing teams at the moment. I don't think their defense is anywhere as near as good as the Panthers. I don't think it's in the same ballpark. I actually think they haven't been tested all that much so far. So I'm not ruling out the Cowboys scoring some points here. I think they might only score sort of 12 to 20 points. But I think they will score points in this game. So I think there are a few options there. Like the Jackson Purdue's at the world. You're getting $2.65, drinky, $3.10, Zach Leibart, $4.00. Heel and Lukis probably my favourite at $4.25. I'll be more than happy to chuck Heel and Lukis in there at $4.25. But I think from the Melbourne Storm, you will get a lot of points. I think there'll be a lot of points scored in this one. The under over is at 51.5. I have got, I like Sua for a double. He's at $3.30. Value isn't incredible, but I just think he'll get on the end of so many things. There'll be so many opportunities. Cowboys defensively. I just don't buy them at all. Jerome Hughes at $2.55. I don't mind the play on him as well. My smoky in this game that I really like is Cooper Clark. As I said, I think he'll come on and he'll spend some time at left center. He's now what four games into his NRL query. I almost
crossed in his first. I wouldn't be shocked to see him crossing this game at all. Reportedly, there's a multi year deal on the table for Cooper Clark. They know, we've been talking about him for ages. We know how good he is. I'm really glad to hear also Craig Bellamy say this week about him that he can play on the edge because he's an agile guy, but they think he's middle is the middle is where the future is for him, which I really, really like. But Cooper Clark at $7. I wouldn't be surprised to see him crash over. He's my little smoky in this game. Cooper Clark at $7. I think he could get decent minutes, obviously, through the middle, but then also on the edge there. At the end of the day, they have got David Mwiley and Jack Heatherington who together. I would say I've probably played close to 250 first grade games, something fucking crazy like that. I'll just get those exact stats up because I might be talking out of my ass, but I've played a lot of footy. So Jack Heatherington's played 97 games. Yeah, I'm probably a little bit off the mark here, maybe 200 games. I think Mwiley's played close to 100 first grade games by this point. Dave Mwiley's at 70. Sorry. Yeah. So they have both played about 150 first grade games. The
reality is the Melbourne saw him were putting more faith at the moment in Cooper Clark. So they really do see him as a player of the future for the Melbourne storm. And so they should have been saying it for a long time. He's going to be a special kid $7 for him. I don't mind the value as him for a smokey to cross in this game. All right, guys, they are all of our predictions and tips heading into super Saturday for round four. Going to be another big afternoon of 40 plenty going on. Plenty to watch from a super coach point of view. All that good stuff prices subject to change.

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 favourites win and I think with these six agains 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. I will 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 Metcalfe Metcalfe shout out to him. He returns this week. You've got the West Tigers without your own lily. I'll wait. I'll believe it when I see it that Adam Dewey is 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 drawscores 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
in 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-mechorid 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 Up. 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 Up this week, follow along with all those tips and have a red hot crack on a few of those games.
