#2 Before the Whistle: NRL Round 2 Predictions

Music.

And welcome to another episode of the Muttley Crew Studios. Here we are in the refreshed, renewed game room boulevard. I'm with Carl and Cody, and we're here ready to rock and roll. And maybe I'm a bit close to the microphone. Sorry, guys. He's just excited. He's just excited. I don't know who it is, but he's loud. Team lists are out, ready to go. My name's Jack, and we're here for round two. And we've got eight games of this beautiful game of Rubber League in Australia, baby. Wait.

Yes, they're all in Australia. We're not going to New Zealand. You had to check that? Couldn't recall. I just wanted to make sure I was right and on the bang on. If anyone out there notices any different sort of octaves about Jake's voice, he's watched a musical today, so he might try and throw in a little bit of improv. It won't go well. Just went, saw Beauty and the Beast at QPAC.

Recommend it if you like a bit of musical, a bit of lovey-dovey, a little bit of cuteness, a little bit of dancing, a little bit of costumes. Did you feel a little faster there? I've seen the Beast. Oh, yeah.

Not naked, he didn't. that's the beauty anyway I don't know how our episode would go about talking about musicals so let's get to Rubber League if your eardrums are still there then listen in Thursday night baby we're going to Suncorp oh no we're back at Suncorp for the Brisbane Broncos home game against the Rabbitohs two losers here from Vegas ready to go again after two weeks, Cody how you feeling about the Mighty Bronx are they going to get back on the

winners list this week yeah look I hope so, I felt like we played we were definitely the better team out of the two losers from Vegas, we definitely had a lot better, the Rabbitohs sort of fell off at the end and the Broncos normally get stronger at the end so if it goes the same way I feel like the Broncos will come home I don't feel like the Broncos are going to play that badly again I feel like they would have learnt their lessons especially having so much time off,

they'll be raring to go I do feel like, I don't know what I if I like Jenson starting and Tapa all off the bench I feel like they've got a, Get a little bit more youth. I felt like we didn't have enough size in the pack. Up against the Rooters, and I feel like they need to unleash that Willison. He definitely will, probably over the origin period, he'll get his crack.

But I feel like just that little bit of size off the bench when Payne Haas comes off, I reckon get him on there, get him ripping Terran, because I don't feel, not that they had a bad game, but Jensen and Tapa'u don't really have that point of difference. They just sort of go out there, do their job, which I mean, they do it well. But just that little bit of X-factor from Willison, and just that big body, bit of footwork.

Maybe there's a bit more going on at training or something because I feel like Williamson's better than a lot of these other old fellas. Who, sorry? Williamson. Big X. Let's just call him X, mate. Xavier, man. I don't know. I feel like he tried well. I feel like he would be in this team. So maybe there's a bit of attitude problems or maybe there's a bit of training. I'm not sure. Kevin knows. He's a coach. Trying to start rumours. No. I'm just,

you know. Good bloke, I heard. Why is he not in there? Xavier, I know you're listening, mate. You want to just give us a shout. Just tell us what's going on, mate. Why are you not starting? Because I've got you in my Supercoach team. You should be there. I've got a lot of people in my Supercoach team that aren't starting as much as I'd like them to. Or playing as much. Just a quick little stat. Stats, man. The last three games between these two at Suncorp,

the Broncos are averaging, what's that? That's eight and a half points. Is that it? No, less than that. Six. So the last three games at Suncorp, Broncos lost 32-6. They beat them 11-4, and then they also lost 46-0. And the last three times they've versed the Rabbitohs, Katani Staggs has scored six tries, so he's obviously the only one scoring any points for them. Yeah, that was probably the last three games overall, but I'm just meaning the last. No, that's what I mean. I'm talking overall.

Two tries, three tries, one try. I think the Broncos will get it done, but that's a tough one. The Rabbitohs, I don't know. No, there's something about Suncorp they like. Just get him into the crunch time. Get it down to the nitty gritty. And Latrella makes some mistakes. Cody Walker will lose his bundle. We've just got to get into him, rile him up a little bit. Teams are pretty much the same. The Rabbitohs have lost Jai Arrow out of injury, maybe for a while.

But they bring in Talis Duncan, who looks like a ripper and a terror. Loves it. Loves it. So I think he's a good player. I'll rate him. I think they're still going to miss Jai Arrow's defense and just his experience. But Talis Duncan looks good, man. So, yeah. He's definitely the next wave. He's just waiting for that opportunity to get a full-time spot.

Which, if Dry Arrow does get ruled out for the season, which is likely, he's just got to see a few different specialists to see if he definitely needs the surgery and doesn't just need some rehab, that Talis Duncan could probably lock down that back row spot for the year. I like that. I do like the look of the house, Duncan, to be honest. Jake, have you given us your tip? Oh, well, I was going to go the Broncos because they're at home. I just can't seem to remember the two games. Oh, here we go.

2023 Jakey. Oh, he's giving them a kiss of death in here. Get on the rabbit holes. Getting nervous. But no, I'm going the Broncos. I'm sick and solid. And maybe if it's a kiss of death, it means the Broncos are losing. Maybe it's just something about the Broncos because he didn't tip them almost all of last year and they just kept winning. Because when he started tipping them, that's when they lost a couple of games. So, I don't know.

I'm fine with that because, again, just like the Knights, I'm happy to lose a tip to watch the Broncos lose. But I am also taking the Broncos, although I'm ignoring that stat. Three-way. I was in the home crowd, the fans. They're not going to lose two in a row. The Broncos are going to win, so Corey Parker. Corey Oates will stop complaining. Ezra Mann's going to come out of a good game. Cobbo's going to stand up. Stagsy's. It's happening.

I need Mann and Stagsy to have a big one for me. They were a bit poor last week. and Cobo at centre. Hopefully he flies his feet. Okay, let's get to the Friday night games, baby. And we actually have two teams playing again this Friday. So they're going hard for the Mutley Crew Friday night MVP. And that starts off with the Sharkies versus the Dogs. They're playing at Shark Park. And I think... Points bet stadium, baby. The Sharks are very low odds here for a good reason.

Yeah, after the way they played last week. And the Dogs... I'll be taking them over the Doggies. Yeah. Dogs are shit. Yeah. Not a good sign for you doggy fans. I'm sorry. Max. See, I feel like the doggies, there was a bit of effort there from them. They just couldn't click, which has basically been the dogs for the last two seasons. And the Sharks did look very good, except for that first 20 minutes against the Warriors, where they look like they could have been opened up by an under-12s team.

I did see someone say if it was the dogs of last year, they would have had 50 put on them. They would have just gone to water, but they held in there. It wasn't until... Old mate threw that dodgy pass that led to the try that stopped the momentum. What was his name? Yeah. I don't know. Some sort of fish. My name's Jammin'. Yeah, I fucked that up. Yeah. Nah, yeah. I reckon the Sharkies will get it done, but I don't think they're going to blow them out.

If I had to make a sneaky prediction, I reckon 1-12. Again, only a little change in this game, and that's Josh Adekar out injured, so that sucks the doggies. But they bring in Connor Tracy, who I rate. He's a good player. Ah, yes. Get another utility. Yeah, I don't know what position he is again.

But I think he helps because he just feels sorry for Jerry that's an effort he must have a bit of an attitude problem maybe he's just not, I've only seen him play centre ever so it'd be hard to put him in but you could put Kraz on the wing yeah well Kraz played wing all of last year basically I like the addition of Conor Dreyfus he's fucking quick, I'm actually quite surprised I didn't play him full back over taft but anyway

so yeah we'll tip and sharks here I think boys no upsets and let's get to it that's what we thought at the start of fucking last week too Friday night baby Maybe Penrith versus Eels. The Battle of the West out at Penrith Stadium. Panthers home after winning their third premiership in a row. They're going to be hot and ready to go. They're going to be hot and ready to go. And I'm tipping the Penrith to get over the Eels here.

I'm doing it. Excuse me. Excuse me. You know Penrith haven't beaten the Eels in the regular season in the last two years. Yeah, but do you know they've won three premierships? Yeah. Nah. Eels win this one. I'll be taking the Eels. They have not lost to Penrith in the last three years in the regular season. I shall be taking the Eels, the bogey team, for the Penrith Panthers. Just something about it. It must be just something about their gameplay,

throwing them off. Brad Arthur's got their number. Knows how to play them. Bryce Cartwright having himself a game. And he won't show up against his old club, former club. They'll be ripping and tearing. Look, I'm with you here, Coates.

I think Panthers aren't going to be kept scoreless again. and I feel like this could be a fucking massive scoring game but I reckon the Eels will get the job done I did in my ladder prediction at the start of the year I did actually have Penrith and Brisbane losing both first up all the first two rounds and then they still finished up too, I'm taking the Eels I just uh yeah I'm not confident but, Because I feel like history might end. But the way Panthers attacked last week

and the way the Eels actually defended, I'm liking it. And the Eels looked pretty hot in offense too. I just think that was the worst game we've seen Penrith play in maybe three years. And I just can't see them backing it up with another game. I don't know. They played pretty shit round one last year too. Not that bad. They played pretty shit against the Eels for regular season games for the last couple of years, like I keep saying.

And they bring in Soros and Kenny to their team, which is only going to help them play offense, defense. What do you mean? Luke Garner's great. He's not Sorensen. He's not hot. And, yeah, I'm tipping Penrith to get a bounce back. Yeah, well, I love that he tipped Penrith because with the way he's tipping this year already in week one, you and I are pretty much off to a great start here, Coach. Oh, he's got no chance. Come back, baby. Okay, then we get to Saturday. Nice, lovely, super Saturday.

Nice and warm. and we have a brand new team playing this round for 2024 and that is the Mighty West Tigers. Will they be a new team this year? Will they be different? But they are versus the Canberra Raiders in fucking Canberra where it's going to be cold already. Fuck them. Fuck who? It's just a sign that Canberra have got up in their locker room. Oh, yes. Right where the cameras can see them. So I'll be taking the Raiders.

I don't think the Tigers, I don't know. They've got a debutante in the centres, debutante in the halves. Might take him a bit of time to gel. They've got a couple of Batemans pushing into the lock. He was on an edge last year, so I reckon it'll change up a little bit. He was back and forth. He's still on the edge. Safar's going to the lock. You sure? Yep. I thought they'd moved him last minute. No, no. It still says here, Safar's locked, Bateman on the edge.

Yeah, right. Yeah, this is a tough one for me. Only because I still don't rate the Raiders. Like, they only versus the Knights last week, so you can't really go off what they did. Yeah, bottom beaters. Yeah, like, you've beat 16th, well done. And the Tigers are sitting right where they want to be, 9th. Yep, someone's planned that very well. Oh, man, I want to take the Tigers, but I find it weird Caesar's on the bench. Like, I feel like he needs to be in the halves or not in the team.

Yeah, he's not much of a utility ad impact off the bench type of player. You're not going to chuck him in the middle. Unless they're going to play him as a hooker, but maybe he aspires to be the Drew Hutchinson of the Tigers. Yeah, he wishes. Ah, shit. I've got no idea. I'm going to take Raiders only because they're the home team. Let's go, baby. I'm going Tigers, baby. They're back. This is their first game of the year.

They're going to come out hot firing. Fuck yeah, we got another tip. We got another tip. I'm going the Tigers, baby. I'm thinking they're going to be good. New coach for the new year, Benji Marshall. He's coming hot. He's picked his guy, Lockie Galvin, who he's been talking about all offseason, out of nowhere. Never fucking heard of him, but supposedly he's been training the house and he tried really good. What do you mean you never heard of him?

You just said he was talking about him all offseason. I haven't never heard of him until this year. That's what I'm saying. Fuck me. Well done. And you're right, the Raiders just, they got lucky last week. Cutting edge analysis, Randy. They got lucky last week and versus a team who were still in trial mode. I don't rate them, so I'm going with Tigers. Yeah, but didn't the Knights beat the Storm in trial mode?

Now let's go up to sunny Townsville, a lovely stadium, a lovely field, a lovely town of Queensland. Cowboys. We got the top of the ladder Cowboys. It's easy. Versus the undermanned, understrengths, the underdogs, Newcastle Knights, Oh, fuck me dead. He's gone from the premiership favorites, can't be beaten, absolute fucking throbbers last week to underrated fucking Jesus Christ. Undermanned. You're only missing Dylan Lucas, mate, from that first week. Dylan Lucas, Twyla, Braley.

Oh, mate, we're missing a ton of players. You didn't have Braley last week. I didn't talk about last week. I just said we're undermanned, mate, and we are. Oh, fucking playing. We're missing three of our starters right there. Man, playing the sob story all day. We're missing Dominic Young. Dylan Lucas has started one game. We're just missing a few players here. Missing your fullback, missing halves.

Yeah, nothing. See? Yeah. Quiet all of a sudden. The Cowboys, they're only top of the ladder because they're versus the Dolphins. Dolphins were just having a little nap. They were just sleeping. Fuck, we're experts here. I'm tipping Newcastle, babe. We're bouncing back. Bullshit, really? Really? We're tipping the Knights. I'm tipping the Knights for the first 10 rounds before I maybe change. Lock that in now. Do you want me to just... I've just got a little stat on this game,

too. $2.87, second round. Fuck, gross, eh? After being absolute throbbers last week. Jesus. That has to be one of the biggest drops. So just a little stat here for you, Jake, because I know how the Knights love a stat. If it's winning at Townsville, that doesn't, nah. Yeah, the Knights haven't defeated North Queensland in Townsville since 2015. Yep. I went and saw a game up at- Luckily, it's not on a Thursday night, this game, because it could be a fucking 30-plus game.

Me and Jade went up to Townsville. We were in Townsville, and we were lucky enough to be there. We're in Newcastle there. We went to that game, and we got fucking pumped.

Oh, did you actually make it to a game? Hill and Lukey was the debut. It wasn't in Newcastle, mate. Hill and Lukey was the debut and scored an awesome try, and it was pretty devastating. But it's a fucking awesome field. If you're ever up to Townsville, make a game. It's pretty good. Yeah, so based on last week's performances and based on that stat, I think it's a pretty easy decision. I'm going Cowboys. Zach Laibert for 17 tries.

He's going to carve up your left-hand defense. Defense. Knights to be on the bottom of the ladder at the end of this round. Oh, stay in there. Ouch. I can't even blow that much because it could happen. Cowboys look so good. Will happen. I'm tipping Newcastle. Come on, boys. Don't let me down. I won't be probably watching this game live, so I feel like they might be all right. They might be all right. And I'm not...

Like, I'm nervous. That's how I should be. Anyway, let's get to our Saturday night game. We're going down to cool Melbourne. How's about Storm? Storm. Back to back homies to start the year. Fucking new Broncos. Loving it. Melbourne Storm Vesta, New Zealand Wars. It's not the New Zealand Wars. You need to stop doing that. What is it? It's New Zealand Warriors or the Wars. I thought it wasn't New Zealand Wild Warriors. I thought we figured that out.

No. Definitely not that. That's what you were blowing up about last year. You didn't say New Zealand Wars. No. It's just up the Wars. It's the Wars. The Buckeyes. Anyway, we've got the Buckeyes. Teams, no change for both teams. Pretty much the same as last week. Last year. Who have we got, boys? This is a tough one, I think. Yeah, I'm still at 100% on who I want to take. Well, I've got another stat. Well, here we go. Stat's just in. The Warriors haven't defeated Melbourne at Amy Park since 2014.

Since 2014? They're even worse than the Knights. They have had a lot of... A lot of these games, I reckon, would have been Anzac clashes. They always burst Melbourne down there, which I think just hurts. One of those ones. Storm put in such a big effort last week. Unchanged, though. Warriors were poor, so they should bounce back. Is Wade Egan 100% healthy? They need Wade Egan. Who was the other one that was under the cloud? Capewell. Yeah, Capewell. Is he 100%?

I just don't know. I feel like I've got to lean towards the Storm just being their home ground and the fortress that they like to uphold. But the Warriors, though, like, they're still that team that could surprise you and put fucking 20 on them. This is going to be a fucking rip-snort of a game, I reckon. It's going to be a good come-up after the previous game. I just feel like the Warriors definitely have a bounce-back in them. Are you taking the Storm? The defense is what worries me.

The Warriors, I feel, can definitely score more points in the Storm at the moment without Big Nelson and Munster. But the Storm's defense far outweighs. Yeah, but can they repeat that? That's what I mean. That's what I mean. The Warriors have more points than them, but the Storm are going to let less in. And I feel like this is sort of a come-down game for the Storm because they would have got up for that game against Penrith knowing that their record for round ones was on the line.

What's their record for round twos for the last 23 years? Where's that stat, man? That would be fucking juicy. Yeah, well, Jake can talk about his pick and I'll see what I can find. Well, I'm just seeing, I'm just manifesting, visualising and I'm seeing the round of the bounce back. And I'm tipping the Warriors. I'm tipping so many outsiders this week. You're going to storm. I'm either going to be on top of the tipping compound or I'm going to be right down the bottom after this round.

And I'm okay with that because this early game, it's the rugby league, the salary cap area.

It's about being what's he bought the salary gap like it's about it's not a fucking roosters game it's just no I'm just saying the NRL's about teams being we've got 3 million available next year mate all the pre-talk was 14 teams who could win the comp this year and I'm just going with that I'm like there's going to be wins in and outs loss of wins or wins less unless you're Bulldogs, what is he talking about can interpret what he's just said get back to us so we can put some subtitles,

I'm tipping the Warriors Kyle lock it in and I will be to keep the streak alive of not tipping anything the same as Jake past the Broncos I'm going to go the Storm he picked it for me he helped me out no we all, We all went Sharks. After the first two games, yeah. We've gone different to him every single game since the Sharks. Storm. But I think you and I basically... Yeah, we're the same. Yeah, we've gone... We're only through. Yeah, so far. We'll have to change things up here.

Yeah, we'll take the Warriors and your skirt. No. I will not take a Jake team. I couldn't find that stat, by the way, boys. Not on a quick search anyway. I'll have to get back to you on that. Is he going to Storm as well, Kyle? I am going to Storm, yes.

Cody Kyle God Cody Sound fucking bloke sometimes, Anyway let's get to Sunday baby We have our first matchup of two winning teams From the first round And I can't fucking wait This team I think this is the game of the round And maybe the hardest one to pick Manly We've got the Manly Seagulls Versus the Sydney Roosters At Four Pine Stadium And Manly Brookie as we all like As we all know it as, Two big outs for both teams Jason Saba out for Manly on the wing Tommy Talao

comes in and then Spencer Lean who has been suspended and is out for the Roosters. But Jared Weahargraves comes in. Oh, wow. Dominic Young comes in for the Roosters. They're just punching salary cap. Still no Billy Smith. No, see, that's what I was worried about after Tawali had such a good game at centre was that that injury to Billy Smith has probably cost him his spot. But is he not still injured? I think he's still injured. He's not in the reserves. He's not anywhere.

He's not anywhere. He's not anywhere. Another ACL. He's not coming back into this team. But not anyway. He just said not New South Wales Cup, nothing. He's nowhere. He's just deleted him. Google Billy Smith, you can't. There's nothing. No Wikipedia page. It's been gone. He just comes back, no result. 404 error. Anyway, Manly versus Roosters, boys. How are you looking at this game? Kyle, how are you feeling? Are you feeling confident? Are you feeling nervous? Is it Rooster-char, Rooster-char?

Rooster-na-na, Rooster-na-na. That's good from you. No, I'm pretty confident. I reckon the boys will get the job done here. The last couple of games. One to ten? Yeah, it'll be a close game. No, no, no. On a scale of one to ten, how confident are you? I'm at, after the game against the Broncos, I'm probably at about a seven. Seven? Yeah. Seven on the confidence level. Because Manly didn't look super convincing against South. Defensively, they were weak. They were weak.

Brooksy, Brooksy another week with the boys. And our defense against the Broncos looked fucking red hot. That's going to be the problem. But Benny Turbo, Turbo Turbo. I'm loving it. Roosters for the dub here, boys. 1 to 12. Can of cola. Sorry, guys. Jesus. I love it. We start talking about the Roosters, and he just fucks off into another universe. Doesn't he? Cherry Webbins. Luke, I got a barbecue Brooks. Oh, it's good. Jee-ice. Tommy, I'm going to punch you because you hit me hard.

Tommy, turbo-chavoy. Shut up. Who are you tipping? Yeah. What? No. It's a tough one. I'll be on Manly, my friend. Yeah, home game. I've got to go against you. I've got to go against you. I'm going Manly, too. Just a sneaky tip here, boys. Roosters have won four of the last five. Good on them. Go on Manly. They look so much better in attack. That second half. We also versed a better defensive team, too. Yeah, that's true.

Go Manly. Lock it in. I honestly think if the Roosters versed Manly and Vegas, we'd put up 40. Hey, man, that's why you tipped the Roosters. I'm tipping Manly. We'll find out what happens. Are you going to win by 40? You want to fucking bet 50 bucks? I love the... Who'd you take, Jake? Tipping Manly. Fuck. I love the fact he went to the Seagulls. Had to go the same as me, didn't you? Copycat. Pussy. Pussy, yeah. Take the Roosters. No. Take the Roosters. No, please don't.

Take the Roosters like this other idiot. it.

We'll see who's got more tips at the end of the round. Okay, last game of the round. Barely. We're going up to Red Cliff. We're going over the bridge. We've got Dolphins versus the Dragons. 17th versus 2nd. Who would have thought? I need them to come last somehow. Dolphins. I wouldn't mind going on this game, but it's a Sunday afternoon, so I'm a little bit busy. I'm a little bit concerned at how quickly Bennett's made changes. I mean, I know a couple of injuries.

I actually... I think the changes are good. I think these two should be starting. No, I know, but like just... Yeah, it's a bit... Bang. Well, Lemuelu is injured, so... No, I know. There's a couple through injury. And Ray Stone's gone. But the halves, Sean O'Sullivan... Sean O'Sullivan out, and... Take Aurelio in. Yeah, Aurelio. Yeah, Tessie Newe out. Yeah, Tessie Newe out. Gone. Bang, bang. Just pulled the trigger on two of them. See, like, and I want to... He's a total halfback, though.

No idea. We're about to find out, aren't we? We've got him and Nicarima that seem, I don't know, there's no organiser. I think Katoa's, because wasn't he halfback for Samoa at the World Cup? Yep. Halfback 5'8". I think Luai actually played 7, but Luai still played 5'8". Yeah, so I think he's probably a bit more of a halfback than 5'8", and that's why he did struggle to find his feet in last season.

Sean O'Sullivan, I don't know whether it was the Panthers system that made him look really good, but he looked red hot when he was back up halfback behind Nathan Cleary and had to come in. So did Cogger. Yeah, and then he can't even get a fucking run at the Knights. Anyway, but Sean O'Sullivan of the Dolphins has looked fairly average for me.

So I'm actually liking this and letting the young fella have the full reins, and Cody Nicorima can just have his running game even though he did no running last week. It'll be interesting to see because it's such a quick trigger. If they play bad again, then what? You know what I mean? Like, surely you give the team a month. You know what I mean? Two, three games. Two, three games just to see. What if they just had, like, they come up against a red-hot Cowboys team who absolutely run rings.

Yeah, but obviously Wayne Bennett's seen something there that he does not like at all. Because it's not too often that Wayne Bennett just pulls the trigger. Could be the defense too. Bennett hates missed tackles. Yeah, well, I thought it was strange having Tessie New at center. Because that's why they put Hammer at centre to try and stop leaking points. So it could also be a defensive. This is a tough game for me because I still don't rate the Dragons.

Their favorite by a bloody 12 cents. And the first in the team that probably looked the worst in round one. I think the Titans got that title. Second worst. Titans went, oh, you don't like us when we fall off after 40. We'll just fall off straight away. Problem solved. I don't know for the stat, but I reckon it could be a stat. Can't fall off if you're never on. The team that has the buy in the second round of the league, I reckon it'll be hard for that first round to get up. I don't know why.

I just feel like there would be a stat. Probably to be easier. I feel like there's still like- You can just go hard. There'll be a stat there, will there? Yeah. After two years of having it. Yeah. Yeah, cool. Check it. Yeah, massive pool. Anyway, just to break that up, boys, before you get onto a full-on fisticuffs, I'm going dolphins. I'm going upset. Fisty muffs. If the Dragons do a number on the dolphins, I might start random. Come with me, bro. Me and you, one different.

Bruce is mainly besides us. Because you know how you haven't got a bet right this year so far? Maybe that's what the Dragons are going to go undefeated. They're going to go 24-0. They've got to sign up. Raiders have got to fuck them. Dragons have got to fuck Cody. I send it to them. That's just a sign of what we did last night. Yeah, I've signed it. I do want to change my tip here on YouTube, but I've not changed my tip. I was going to say, I thought you were going to go back or something.

I've also tipped the Dolphins because it's the round of the bounce back, and I just think the Dolphins at home, they're not going to lose two in a row. Are you both going Dolphins? We're all going Dolphins, mate. It's all right. Yeah. Change your mind. Don't change your mind. Oh, pussy. I was iffy on it, but if you guys are both taking Dolphins, I thought you both were going to take the Dragons. So I was like, I'll switch it. Nah, mate.

I picked the Dragons to come last. I've got to go against them. Yeah, well, you've already lost, so. They're like my ante. No, they still come last. I said last. The win points were irrelevant. Also, just an overall sneaky stat. I was meant to say this during the Cowboys-Knights game, but the last time the Cowboys were on top of the ladder after round one, they didn't actually make the finals. Closed year as Cowboys fans. That's not a great stat. You need to disclaim that before I said it.

I'll just disclaim it then. Anyway. Yeah. Nice. I like that. That'll fucking do us, boys. Anyway, that's round two of Rugby League. Tips in and previews in. Let's rip in. Hopefully get in about four or five games a weekend again. Get a dog inside you. Up the night. We're winning. Stage. You feel the... Dizzy what? Up the night.
