SBFs: How Many Byes

0:00Hello, and welcome to SportsBestFriends, I don't have a singing along karaoke styles. A rugby league podcast at this season is bucking and loving that shit. If anybody watched a series of rugby league games, they'd never go back to watching Union or IFL or Soccer. I'm Big TV user, and I'm a coin-set views with the best looking guy on whichever football food he plays with. It's Josh Remi Cook, how do- What do- what do- what's- did you be doing? I'm very giddy to start this podcast, which is good. I'm back at it, obviously. I mean, no, I'm good. I'm good. I'm obviously going to jump the gun and answer the question. What's happening outside of foodie? Well, then I just want to also point out there, I sent a message to my old lady saying today's not it, and she wrote back, well, Mercury is in retrograde. Now, I know she's joking, but also it has to be written. She knows that I would find that funny, but I actually looked it up, and it is, and you came in and did something, and then you were singing, and then I was like, oh, what's it song? I thought you were going to play with the song, and you're like, we're not connected. Mercury in retrograde, retrograde, says it like it's a lack of communication blah blah blah. Now for a bit better. I think I'm Mercury, and everyone else is in retrograde.

1:00I actually don't know what any of these words mean. That's all right. Hit me. What's happening in the world? You were going to do it. Tell me. Oh, right. Yeah. Well, if it was the weekend, this past was the weekend before the season starts. So, um, if no, it is fully related, but the boys got together on Saturday night. Watch the trial game about it, ring rose. Some of the extended squad was playing in a Ron Massey game. Support of the boys. How much was the first grade squad that did that? All of us. Bossy. Shut up. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, compulsory. Yeah. But it was lovingly compulsory. It was in force by the coach, which was in force by our social team. Love. Yeah, send the boys out. Ring rose, and it was good hit it up. I went to a pub and parametra. With the players who did the plays, you just played as well. So, we went out to finish. I mean, it was good, mate. I was on Saturday night. Even though we've had a big connecting day, connection day. So, a few weeks prior, it was just good just before the season starts, before the needy degree, and yeah, and on a more relaxed level. You won't do this, and you're way more professional than me. And so, you can just be quieter to this bit. This never happened to the Jets. No, you don't have to say anything.

2:01Because this didn't happen to the Jets. Well, I've talked to you for an entire year. The Jets had a lot of great things. The Jets were great clubs. This isn't back in the Jets. That didn't happen to the Jets. Wait for me. Well, they didn't have a Ron Massey game. No, that's right. And that is true. But it didn't happen to the Jets. And I like where this is going for the best. And the Jets played well, and they did well while you were there. So, it's not like you had to do this. It's just curious. Well, I'm just noticing already some big differences. Big time. And there's a small amount of... Oh, sorry. There was a massive small amount of Jets. But I'm just... I'm very excited, which is the first and a long time since season. So, which of the leadership team did that? Was it Raymond Vega or was it Kieran Haman? So, those two boys are ahead of socials. Yeah, and you said the social goes for the right one. Sorry, but I didn't have to come. I mean, Kieran kind of took the reins for that. Because, excuse me, loves it. But, I mean, he was good. So, he kind of... Things like that, obviously, throughout the year. We're going to have more events like that. Our boy with Gans, or even just after a game, it's kind of their responsibility. So, which I like, with the leadership team, is not just like, oh, he's your lead on the field now. He was a specific roles.

3:01So, he got standards. You got environmental roles. French kissers standards. You look like a Toils, the other standard. They're put on the fucking website. Yeah, yeah. And he loves this deal. Big, big deal. Play a man tour of Matt Stimson and Riley. Really, man? Yeah. Tactical Jack Toby. Yeah, Toby. He's very good in that front. And yeah, then you got Kobe Thomas. Club captain. Yeah, of course. Kind of a main man there. It's good. He kind of... We only just organised out what? A couple weeks ago. And I think it's been really good ever since that day. Who drives it? Like did the coach say I want these roles? Or did he say these blokes seem to be naturally leading and I want to give them what... How does it work? No, so the coach... So, there was a coach put out, a fear in a couple of weeks, I say, look, there's a leadership team. This is how I want it. This is the roles that are up for grabs. If you want it, come talk to me. Uh, I will, blah. So, yeah, and I couldn't think of anyone better for like even standards, or as many friends, she knows everything. By the book, and 110%. But it was good. Played it even plays up myself. Tommy Stemman, who I guess, old heads and experience are...

4:03But we don't... I don't take to that role of... Because then even functions and what not, then you're speaking and this and that luck. I think it was good. I spoke to the coach about it. It's more like... I want to look after my 40. I don't need that extra... Oh, so we've got to do this and this. Yeah. And I've always been like that. But it's good. And it gives players who I like that and want more out of responsibility, a chance to grow and develop and pursue that. So... Because I also... We know he's a player who want to just be students of the game and he's a player who want to play and then get the hell out mentally. And so some of them want to be there and then also do that shit on top. And the thing was Roach. Roachy? Yeah. I didn't know he was in this squad. Yeah. I'm like at the photo of him. He's a very, very, very, very good looking blow. Roachy, yeah, it's been really good to have Roachy within the squad. Obviously he's very experienced with, you know, NREL background and he's been the best for a few years now. But, you know what, he's best quality. Even though he's a gunful player, he's such a nice genuine dude. Like he is a very well-matter

5:04and just a good role model. And when I was going through a bit with my wrist, actually, when nobody heard about it, but when I was going for scans and he messaged me probably saying, look, I wish you all the best. My one Jew, he's been in rehab as well. He's suffered setback after setback after setback. Had you played with him before? I haven't. I haven't. Can imagine I played against him a couple of times. He'd been near 30 now. But he's been around the game for quite a while. He's had NREL experience and just an overall gun. And a rig, I don't know if it's... No, I always said to him as well. If someone I want to look like as a hooker as well, it's Nathaniel Roachy. Uh, okay. And then... So that's outside of football. Yeah. What did you get up to? What did you get up to? What did I do? I mean, obviously, a lot of it was within the NREL as well. Big Pokemon weekend. Little listen, I and my sister and her daughter went for a bit of a Pokemon trot. A Pokemon dough? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had a global event on my sister and I had a birthday. Now, it's just all been like quietly leading up. Everything, everything is in pieces and the baseball is in pieces and the NREL is in pieces.

6:05Everyone's talking to me about footy, their tipping calms are all my different, like both sides of my family. Got a particular time, everyone's keen. There's been really nothing that's interesting this happening out sort of and works out particularly interesting either at a moment. So it's just very slowly edging towards although it feels like the workplace is more keyed up to rugby league than ever before. I feel the same way and it's very exciting. It's cool. A lot of footy chat going wrong. Talk to me in the dark, not 10 weeks when I'm 40, 40 mad and then I'm getting the conversation to work but until then, it's great. Let's now look specifically at the best. I love when you do this stuff and it's not going to work. You do it accidentally when no one asks but when I now ask, you're not going to ever do it. How many rounds can you name that the bears are going to do? How many rounds deep can you do, bears play? This one and round one, this one and round two. Oh, I lose it. No. You've got to phase what, phase what? I do know what pendant this week. Then we go to against Manley. No, already. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. It's such with an M. Magbos.

7:05Yeah, Maggies. Oh, yeah. And then it's Manley. No, it's Dragons. Oh, okay. So, I'm just thinking like, I'll do Manley. Yes, I'm Manley. Okay, sorry. I'm usually good at that. But that's kind of where my head's at, I guess, this year. I'm fairly good looking at NLL. Well, it's about like, obviously, with Cup, I'm thinking, okay, I got a job to do this week. Against Pendriff, I mean, I'm taking a game, more game. What's the chat at the moment? How does the coaching stuff getting up for that today? Fasting, we don't know much too much about them. It's hard to preview teams in round one, obviously. But in gun of draw form, like, you kind of look on grade trials because they'll be mostly Cup sides. But I think it's important to kind of, even though we've kind of had the opportunity to do this in draw form, but kind of get a sense of how we want to play 40. And we can really establish that this week against Pendriff. And yes, there's some sort of preview. We know players that have been around and we kind of know who can play as within that squad that we can look at. But I guess the main focus this week is like, let's round one. That's just now what we've been doing all processing.

8:08And let's say how it works. You're not feeding anyone at the moment, aren't you? No, squad is just... It's squads, just the squads. So I'm going to be even out like they do. Obviously, there's pros and cons of that. It always helps when I was at Jets and whatnot that we had some great boys come back. But in standard as well, this squad's been together since November, we started in November. We feel, and I'm going to use the word again, very connected, throughout the whole process. And then I get wrong. I do believe that there's some players going to probably sign on too. That always happens everywhere. But I think we have an advantage and disadvantage on that. But the boys are good, and we just can't wait. You have cuts and stuff on your face if you had already played this weekend. You said, yes, which against Penderwith? Is that because they're a bigger pack normally? Yeah, it's a bigger pack. I know, that's a unbelievable... Is it? They pumped a lot of money in that recently. The boys had a troll get trolled there a couple of weeks ago against Penderwith, and that was that turf was unbelievable. Really, really nice. Penderwith is known to have a big strong squad. We've heard some rare ones, actually, when I was at the Jets last year. It's kind of like we've got to go at and bash a mentality

9:10and just wear the physical front end and whether the storm, especially at the start. But yeah, looking forward to it. You didn't play at home till April, mid-April. Yeah, it is a nori I haven't had that before. Insane, although we have a string of home games on the run home. Yeah. It's our event itself out. But I do believe that... I don't know if there's a reason why I'm norcing. We don't even train at Norse in April. So we will go train at Norse in April as well when we have our first home game. But it's being used, whether it's for cricket, but I thought cricket was finished one hour. Anyway, so it is annoying. And you know what, it might be a bit of a hard start. Regardless, we've got to, you know, weather that and hopefully by that time, when we get our home games towards the back end of the season, we're flying and using that momentum. How many buys do you know we get? Four, you know what? There's an extra team. The Melbourne's in the comp this year. So I believe we have three buys. Three, okay. Because you've got two before... Or the second one? Well, basically, like a monthy. And so we have two games by...

10:11Then we have like three or four games by... Yeah. And you have your first home game, then there's a buy. So you said that it really impacts rhythm sometimes. It does. In saying that, I remember Frenchy when he was at CS, he had like a buy very late in the middle of the season and then what at the end? And he did not like that. And I bet because as it does break up like a bit of momentum, but you can burn out. Like it is that week and week out grind. And I find that because we don't have any great boys coming back, it's going to use to our advantage. Like a four-way. Well, in having the buy. So yeah, a couple weeks in. And we can break it down that way, as I mentioned before. So you can go, well, if we can just attack this block. All right, let's chase that, main, main, main. Reset on the buy, go a few things. I think it works well for him. So you have four buys. Four buys. OK, well. And then you've got a great stretch home. You've got one, two, three, four, five, six games in the back end. One of them is at home. Two of them is at home. Three of them is at home. One of them is at Hansen. So they're all pretty close. Oh, pretty close. Let's pass you home.

11:11And then the other one is Magpies. So it's at home where it says TBA, but it's either at Magpies. It'll be in Sydney. And you've only got one away away, which is the new castles. Yeah. That's a pretty good end of the season. You'll already be on top of the table. I'm assuming. Yeah, you're flying by then. But yeah, no, that's right. It's a good run home. I've probably got a lot of it to do before we get there. Who? I know I love talking about it. I'm talking about the last one. Yeah. Oh, my God. Who else in that squad should I be really looking at that? I probably don't already know. In our bare squad? Obviously, no French, you know, Tyres. He's been really well. There's a player named Ajay. And he was at CS last year. He joined, like, I think he's from Perth. Jennifer Fulbach. And he's had a very strong preseason. Is his name actually Ajay? No, he's at Arm and Gungeon. I'm pretty sure. Probably watched that. Good fellow to, great fellow. But he's had a massive preseason. He's very quick. Who would the ball? So I'm very excited to be able to play with him. He's got a great goalie as well. And I'm a stash. A lot of facial hair. Yeah, yeah. To his speed, ball handling. A very quick super fit. We just got the Bronco record for the club at the moment. He got a 4-26, which is crazy.

12:11But yeah, like I said, I'm very canousy. How he goes? OK, cool. Young? How young? You know, I think he's our age. I believe I'm maybe a couple years younger. You're the one I like 20 years apart. Oh, I feel like a fact. Maybe like, yeah, 23, 24. And he's come from Perth? I believe he is from Perth. I think he joined there, joined South Light last season from Perth. He must have shared himself when he had the Bears, and they're going to play for the most in the world. Yeah, that'll be mad. Yeah, so fella, AJ as well. I feel he might, he's been a bit enforcer in New South Los Cutt for many years now. And he's always strong. Yeah, Tommy Steadman, L half. He's in for a big year. And yeah, I'm very, I'm very excited. It says here, your guy. What do you call him, AJ? He's last name. That's what I call him. Question, I'll ask him. Do you know this play could always be? I'll tell you, he's doing it, I'll tell you, AJ. And because he also played, he did an NFL pre-season. He's in for the NFL. That could be right. Yeah, I thought he did one. Yeah, pay for the Sunshine Coast. He did 11 games in 2024. And he played for South Reserves as well for 17 games. So after 2024, he went back. And then does it say he's dead of birth?

13:13And then we can really creep him out. No, doesn't. Yeah, great. Well, I'm keen to see him. So would he be, there's a better question. If you were going to pick someone to be on your NRL Fantasy team, which has already stacked. Yeah. Out of the boy, you can't choose your French kiss. So when you don't pick the French kiss, he doesn't get enough to be on him. Our other mate, Tows. I think he's too at least to hit it up in fantasy points, I think. His lightning, mate. Tactical brain. Tactical brain. OK. And he's also so good. Look, he's just had a baby. Yeah. Well, the boys have a few babies, actually. Poor man. Family friendly. What if you're being able to play big? Let's talk about Vegas. Can you get to watch these games live? I watch all of them live. All of them. And I really enjoyed it. Well, I watched the Leeds Hulk AR game because my mate plays for Leeds. And that was really cool. And we watched Leeds vlog Hulk AR with the fan band and a couple of mates. And then the other two games, they went to a group of Metamorphos. And he's a tragic dragon's fan, fortunately for him. Yeah, it was good. Usually, I don't like watching 40 after 40 after 40.

14:13But I really enjoy these three games. They're all different in their own right. Obviously, we've seen some points in the first game. And the middle two was at that more, kind of, I guess, high quality in a row. Not to put it down, but I just feel it. Mate, I find to say some of those trials Leeds scored on the weekend. Well, they were pretty soft. But in saying that, yeah, it happens. I also thought, Kaelin stood out. I mean, I know everyone loves him blah, blah, blah. But considering the guys who are always going to have a high standard, I thought he looked really good for Newcastle. Yeah, and he'd be wild if you didn't feel any pressure because he went down the Liz Frank injury last year, which was pretty long. And he's kind of been deemed like he's the captain of the club. And that player is going to turn things around for Newcastle. And now let's start mind you. There was like 230 plus days without a win in Newcastle. So their last win was in July. Well, which is crazy. If they only get the win, they had like nine loses, losses in a row. Yeah, and saying that we had Kaelin was really good. That's a shot was electric in the first 20.

15:15So hopefully he's all right. Nothing major happened to him. But you know, who was the underrated player of the whole weekend? I think it was a sand and smith. He come on in that 14-roll and when she did the fan, you know, he stood the ship well and stayed the ship well. And now you did a really good job. With that being brilliant, that guy went above and beyond. He did exactly what he needed to do to get Newcastle the win. I also thought the cas are in at the whole time. I mean, obviously that brain burns, sim being towards, and really, really hurt him. How'd you feel about that? You know, there's been a few of those during the week. And that I was just, especially in the Bulldogs and Dragons game. No one got in that game. And that was very frustrating. I don't know, there was a few cause even the Kaelin's game that was just scratching my head out. But it was a bit of a momentum shifting game, the Kaelin's and Nights game. And I just feel like when the Kaelin's really, they didn't really take full advantage of the momentum. They were parked down Newcastles and sometimes, especially on that right edge, attacking Vais, they were just struggling a bit.

16:16I still feel like they got the squad there to go deep. I don't know, a little bit of lowering signs there for the cows. Yeah, I agree. Because they looked heaps like they could make the meters. In fact, it was similar, in fact, to the next game of the dogs. Also, it looked like they were cruising easily but when they got down, they just couldn't finish or the Dragons had enough. And the cows looked like they had enough at times but they just couldn't convert their time either into whatever, whereas Newcastle, you know, did somehow once or twice. The only other one I wanted to talk to you, was there someone in the cows you thought was good though? You were like, I'm in. I mean, I guess, I think Tom Lowe, actually Tom Lowe was really, really good. He was shot a bit of form from a few years ago. He wanted that ball. Authorities really good, rooting quarter as well. He guys will die. Tom Lowe, I was definitely staying out for man. I also wanted, I think I wanted Newcastle to win just for the cuteness of it, but I really didn't think either of them were great. I guess it's round one. And in saying that as well, watching all of them watching when the dogs play, and I thought Raid Monty had to be jailed with an 80 minute roll. I know you can say a bit of that, not disconnect, but the chemistry still building,

17:16because a few times there, when Drinkwater was calling it on the left hand side too, and Raid went right, and he'd done that in two occasions, and they had a stack left hand side, and I just thought, I don't know if it's kind of like a, not a trust thing, but it's definitely a chemistry thing that they need to work on. And as soon as they know that, they'll be better for it, but... You still rate Raid Monty? Well Raid Monty, I think he needed a fresh start. I like Nines who run the ball, especially how the game's going now. I think, look, one of the days, you just stand and deliver. No, I see, I think Raid's problems like that, and he does a really good job defensively, but I just think Raid, if he's gonna really, he's also got a good kick in game. Let's see it a bit more, and well, he'd add him in a job in the middle, is a hard task, and I thought he did a good job. He didn't play bad, but I'd utilize Sonny Luke a bit more, so he's that nine that comes off the bench, and I'd kind of just take that 80 minutes away from Raid and kind of hit a 50-minute job, and then let Sonny Luke kind of run a mark, especially off the back of Tom Lolo and Rume Connor,

18:19and some of the big medals I have there in Tom and Hairst. I don't know, maybe I'm just a bit biased, because I like a two-hooker system, but yeah, I just think Cowboy's gonna be a bit smarter in that sense. I also think that he did have a play, so I remember there was a time when they were on the front foot, and they needed a heavy foot, keep the ball dead, I think it's seven or eight metres out. So he was just coming out a little bit too much within that five-metres zone. Yeah, just get rid of there. Just get rid of there. So that's also that maybe disconnect with the halves too, because a nine, or even see Damien do on the weekend, he had a nice kick, but he was always doing, he wasn't fluffin' around with it, and he linked up with the halves as well, so. But yeah, that'll come. Do I like him in Canberra? And I like him here, I just hope he, I don't know why, I like him, he seems like a real pest, and obviously the kind of guy I normally gravitate to, but I really hope he does well for something to say. I mean, he puts a shot on, there's a Caleb, or someone kicks it, and he didn't tackle him late, but probably tell him he made it, depends on what year you're looking at it. And the night's guys complain for a penalty, and he stand there laughing at him, and I was like, oh man, that's sick. Yeah, cheers, if a penalty got caught as well.

19:21Yeah, he's going to make the wrong. Oh, a score? Oh, a score for that game. Oh, stop, you got me 2016? No, little is to be disappointed. I was going to say 2018. 2018, yeah, that's what it was. Because there was a time where the calves were on the line, they were just about to win 24th. Yeah, you're right. And then the night's scored it. 28th. Next game was the game of the round, if I could be. I mean, there's only three games, but incredible. Incredible also because the dragons we both said were itching. Yeah. And they weren't itching. I don't think the dogs were great, but the dragons weren't shit, like the dragons should have won this, you know. Why dragons would have been such a satisfying win is because watching the game, it just felt like dragons will come down to their own and the whole time. And to their credit, their goal on D was really good. Especially against some of the attacking forces that poor dogs have. But yeah, it was just frustrating and watching. I feel like that obviously has some shots to win it, but look, as a referee yourself, I'm not going to bag referees and I'd never do it. But I just think some of the cause there should have been called and that would have changed the game

20:22in dragon's favor for me personally. Which way do you think of it? Well, definitely, we'll let that last play where you drop the ball cold, Bronson Jerry. That's, no, that's not a rake. Sorry. Yeah, that's about it. Yeah, and a few of the head-eye calls in Stephen Crowe and I'm not getting Sinbin after collecting Satu, too, or on the head. I don't know. A few of those things stand up because you look at a lot of the difference. The dragons put up a bomb and the man being Jerry again looked like he jumped up to get it, knocks it on, the full back picks up and starts to run and even he checks. Yeah, I don't know what to do. Yeah, the set up went back, we didn't touch it either of them or either of them or wrong. But look, and the day is what it is. And dragons do have still up chances to win the game. Oh, yeah, it's tough. It was entertaining, especially towards the back end, but where do you go from there with the dragons? Obviously, it's a big trip to go to Vegas and they're a lot of pressure on Shane Flanagan and getting that win in to get so close, play 90 minutes and get done by a full goal. You're lying if you say you don't lose a bit of confidence, but you know, you kind of feel a bit flat after that one. So they've got to turn things around a bit quickly. Yeah, that was a grand final, hey, like yeah.

21:23I kind of actually didn't play that much better as a squad. Bulldogs have a lot more potential than what they can do. The amount of times as well that they were set and dogs would run right. I think that was the time of the seven minutes to go and they had a repeat set and then the dragons. Yeah, fuck. I think Burton put up a kick. The kid catches things on debut, when he catches it and then falls over and then they attack them and he can go and they were fucking like 50 meters out. And I'm like, wow, they've now got a repeat set off this or they've got a kick, they'll then kick it out because everyone fucking does. Why the kicker towards the touch line kills me? I love the short kick makes heaps of sense. Kicker straight up and he ends up. Well, kicker 20 meters. I know you can't get a win, but sometimes the eagle front rolls down to like 10 meter long. Just hoick it up and then find out what happens. I think that's not the point. The ball goes out, they get a repeat set and then they went right the whole time. I'm like, you've got kick out and, Crichton and Burton all on the left side. They could have put that game away if they just had, I don't know if that's chemistry. Well, most of the teams are the same as last year. Do you expect a bit of that? Everyone's going to be clunky so I give them a bit of a bit of a bit out there. If they do it the ball, sure, but like don't keep going right, that's not it. They keep getting found out.

22:23Where's the chat come down from coaching box? But also there's a great long ball that someone put on and then the dragon's winger just like buried the kid out. That's been happening in the whole game where it just goes left with a lot of football. The coaching should have, I don't know what Sarato's going to do because unless they were playing chess when they're like, no, they think we're going to go left. Okay, go right up. Double drop on. I didn't work. Anyway, I thought Crichton was good. Onscreen. Just see the sauce. It's always getting big every year. I just feel so gay and I'm here for it. Like whenever I watch in there, like just the color of your skin looks so delicious. Everything about him is just so, and he's, he was disgusting. And I loved every second. Every time I took his hand, I was like, fuck and hell to slap me with the back of that head. He's a man by good. He's a man. Yeah, and he's playing. That shot that he put on that dude was beautiful. I know it was apparent in the end. Yeah. The one that made him add that on Pong Up was awesome. Great. All of the real time, a fucking brilliant. And then we watch it back and slow him out. Oh, that's why there's a follow in there because I encourage that he, that was a great read. And Crichton. Crichton's on the catch heat. Perfect.

23:24Crichton's on Pong Up. Shoot. That hits beloved. That changes the game. Yeah. Boy I was upset is if they're going to crack down on it, be consistent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm all full. That's playing on. That is playing on for me. Yeah. It's a hot break. It looks so good in real time. But I mean Pong stays down and Braden got over him when he was looking after him. Yeah. Yeah. That breaks a good fellow. And he looked like that. And he was a, I mean, most of them have been used, 20 years ago, that'll be saying, I'll try and shape up. Yeah. I'll fight next with that. Well, now like, are you all right? Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah, fuck. Anyway, anyway. Yeah, that shot on him is great. Any time they go out that way, he's defensively so good. But he, he also is just in attack. He's just holding the ball. Knows when to go. He didn't put any kicks in. Which also shaped me to tears. I was like, why don't I go left and then let him chance a little, a little dinky. Short-king and for panorath was grand final winning. Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, he's still that good. Anyone in there that's not working for you? In the dogs? In the dogs. In the dogs. I'm not efficient for logglin. He, most of those little short balls that he put on that second row, a grape or all on the forward.

24:26It was fucking killing me. And they finally called the third one. They're all exact same paths, exact same line, exact same timing, all on the forward. They score a try of the first one. If anything, I think if you're touching his bit of galvan, he, him and Preston have such a good combination. There's sometimes I feel like galvan preamps. Yeah. And it was, it was mentioned in the commentary box and I couldn't agree more where. Yes, he has like an awesome pop one, but he preamps preamps. And it's so late, it's a hard catch. Still, you're going there because it's so lethal. I was always skeptical on how that doggy's need to get genuine nine because Bailey Haywood's there. And Daniel, he's doing a good job. But how can we, I guess, I'm just so big on like utilizing your nines and more of attacking away. And he does such a good thing as a previous half as well. Still in the boys around licking up with the halves. But like, I just feel like if dogs had a replacement, like you got that turp in there as well, six man bench or anything like that. Who would need like someone to come out and scheme and pick up someone from behind. I just feel like they're lacking that and missing that.

25:27Don't get me wrong, they're still winning games. They're going well, but is Bailey Haywood a genuine 80 minute who got weak in weak out? I don't know. But other than that, I can't really fault anyone. And I'm not even fault in Bailey, but. Yeah. I just feel like, because it's his first kind of season being that 80 minute nine. And yes, he was back in last year, but in a full season as well. I just wouldn't awe their chips into what's saying, because I don't believe that they're going to blot a lot of, like, even turp and does he get many games at night? I don't know. So, anyway. Anyway. Score. 15-14. It was good in there. And I like that. And also, I forgot, I forgot, I couldn't even kick the last spot. That's good for him. Any other chats? No, I was a good little summary of the values. Shout out to my boy, Ethi. Hope you had a really good time over in Vegas. He'll listen into this. One experience though. Obviously, he was only at the beginning of the field. Mate, to be over there and experience all what he is in Vegas, well. Unreal. So, the boys have a bit of a time there after the game, you know? He sent me a few videos, so that after the game, and let's just say it was having a good time.

26:28Yeah, OK. I could be a bit of a punish to fly all the way over there playing and go, OK, everyone, back in the game. Oh, let's go. Yeah, I think you have a few days to settle in. I think similar to what Annabelle is, I have a week off and whatnot. The club doesn't spend a week there, though, do they? Not, well, after the game. Yeah. No, I can't imagine that. No. The test of that. No, well, tell you what, this is an odd note, and Kurt's a board always doing this. You hear about what they did. They brought like 80 of their stuff over to Vegas, which is incredible. Yeah. But, yeah, I think after the game, we have a few days, and then I'll get out there, quick smart. I mean, it's good for an action or whatever. I mean, it's good for an action or whatever. Yeah, thousands of dollars a day. Yeah. Just a combination of lines. Especially if you lose. True bar. Yeah. But it's short. Yeah. But it's hectic. It sucks a man, have they? It sucks a man? I did this the other day. The finale was last year. Yeah. You're not going to go. You don't think. To Vegas. To ever watch someone. I mean, you'll have to go in the best way. You'll have to go in the best way. I don't know. It's hard for me personally to watch there, because it's just bad time and we'll ask.

27:28And just Vegas itself. I've had a few boys go there. I'll have to be for 40. It's not it. Other than that. It's the only city in America I don't really need to go to. Like, I've never gone to. Oh, I don't want to say this. Can you name the five teams? I said they're trying to do this. Well, I was watching the game. Can you name the five teams? I haven't yet played Vegas. Yeah. To August. Armada. Wolffons. Platons. One to go. It's all here. You're fucking wet. You're wet. You're wet. You're wet. Not to say that. Yeah. I was there. Because I was thinking about who was there. And I was doing the opposite. And my mom was going bananas. But I did that. I worked at who was there. But I was like, what team I'm missing? 20 fucking seven five. Armada. I couldn't find paramount. Joyce, born for another week. And I was workingceğimlessly since there was switching, going to quit and going to buy cakes. Andża bpt. I was educated. So now you believe in today's situation. The new year. Look at this season. We're talking next time as best friends. Here at the BS. When we got that win without your support, we heard just cheering, the whole 60 minutes. And we were bloody lobbyers. And we've got a lot of, very blah blah! And we're grimy. We're winning the filenades tournament. I ain't letting you win

28:28the bid, but, and defend it. Let's get it right.
