#4 Beers, Bets & Tips

He laughed at me. Wow. When I wasn't going there, I won't get in the set. I was like, get shit.

Better call that. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to an episode of the Motley Crew. And we are here in the game room, Bill Lovato, on a dreamy, drisky-luggy night. I'm here with my mates, the boys, the lads. I'm here with Kyle. How you doing, Kyle? Sup, mate. I'm here with Cody. How you going, Cody? Cody, how you doing? Oh, wait. Cody's nowhere to be seen. I love you. Too busy working for the man. Working for the man. So you're just stuck with the Muttley 2. The Muttley 2.

And how are your two feet going, mate? One's going all right. That's good to hear. Just one little bone, mate. One little bone? And you're in fucking struggle street. The hex of March has hit. Fucking earth. Couldn't believe that when I realized... I didn't realize the ankle was in March. And then, yeah, Cody reminded me that the knee was in March. It's a good run. Fuck March, apparently.

Well, hopefully it hasn't wrecked too many plans for you. It looks like cricket will be possibly, most likely cancelled with this rain coming. So I might have fractured my foot doing a rain dance for the cricket grand final this weekend. Didn't want my average to drop because all I hit is two fucking runs the last two grand finals. And I didn't want you to miss out on a grand final. No, and that means we win. We go back to back. Gives the chips. That's it.

Any chance of postponement? I don't think so. Nah. Nah. Not a chance. No chance. They're really like, finish the season. I reckon Springfield, I reckon they'll try and get a reschedule. I reckon, because we finish first, they will win. Yeah. I have a feeling that they're going to try and get it rescheduled, bring out the rule book again. But hopefully, it should be cricket if it does get rained out.

And like, I know, for example, another club, they've actually already booked in their presentation night, like the next Saturday night. So I'm like, I don't think they can postpone grand finals. It's not a thing. So yeah. No, well, that's a beauty for you. If it gets rained out, it doesn't get rescheduled, mate. You just, whoever's on top. A winner. It's a champ. It's a winner.

Champ champs. Anyway, we're here to talk some rugby league. And before we get into the week, how's the rugby league week been for you, Kyle? Any changes to supercoach? You freaking out? Anything going around? No. No, not really. Like, I haven't changed my trades again, so I've still got. But did you see the news?

Pappenhausen has to run he has to pass his final test in the captain's run so he could be out this week which if he is that fucks me because he's one of the people I'm bringing in, They're playing early in the week, though, so we should find it. Oh, no, they're playing Saturday. Yes. And the other person I would go to is Gutho, who plays. Oh, no, and I can't reverse it because I've traded out Walsh, who's Friday. Oh. Well, Gutho and Pappenhausen are versing each other, so you could swap that

around. Not if it's not announced until after Broncos play. Oh. Oh, no, I should be able to, hey. I could just update Pappenhausen to Gutho. Yeah, right? Or is there another fullback I could probably bring in? Turbo? I don't think I'll forward him. Nah, I don't really want to go too much more. Keanu Kinney? Yeah, nah, that'd be a good buy. I love you, Gold Coast. Yeah, I think... In draft, I got a couple of players I wanted off the waivers, so it's not too bad. That's a good bet.

I got Thomas Kant and Zach Docker-Clay. Because I needed a hooker, because Connor Watton's out. I thought you swapped him with his fault. With his replacement. I bet. I've been fully freaked out. I've swapped all my trades today. I've got no idea what I'm doing right now. And, yeah. So, we'll see what happens. So, at this point, you've made no trades. No, I've got, I've done all three again, but a totally new three from Monday. Okay.

So, because I've got short-term memory loss, who did you... I was going, like, very conservative, if you remember. Oh, that's right, yes. I was chasing the cash. And then I'm like, nah, I need to, I'm like, nah, get fucked. I've got enough people making me cash. I need to get some points and not fucking die. So, who are you going? So, I'm going Pappy. Oh, so that news affects you too. Tula Puyoto, you guys sold me and everyone else has sold me. Tula Puyoto. Yep. Yep.

What did you say? Tula Puyoto. Yep. And that was. You only used the two trades? It. Because you said you were only going to do two. Yeah. But unless something changed, if Turbo is out, you said you would use three. Yeah. But with those trades, that means I am actually trading out Caelan Ponga. Why are you trading Ponga? It's gone, mate. He had one bad week, bro. It's gone. He'll be back in like two weeks' time. So you're using two trades on him? Yes.

Right. I don't want to miss out on Pappy. And if he is- Okay, but if Pappy's out injured, like at least you're trading Ponga, so you can wait until you know he's not playing. Yeah. That is true. Well, unless you're already at the wedding and you don't get the news and the game starts. Nah, trust me, mate. I'll be on it. Don't you worry. Set an alarm on your phone. And I'm actually boosting a well, double boost, so I can get rid of the NPR for Nicholson, because I really want

him in. I think he'll make... $150,000 easy. What about the... And yeah, just the Dragons winger. He sold me because he's going to make lots of money. And I had Stoney Street there anyway, so it was a pretty easy, quick trade in my opinion. Yeah, well, that's why it was fairly easy for me. There's not many wingers and centers that are consistent so far to start the season. And Tuopilotu's going to make bulk cash, even if it's only over the next one

or two weeks, depending on how the next... He could even end up being a good hold or keeper. As I said, at the moment, through the stats, I didn't actually have a look today, but he was, in terms of base plus power, he was top ranked. Which means he's obviously having those carries coming out of his own end. And then he's scoring points at the end of it. And then DCE, mate, where's he going? I like the Bulldogs chat, I've heard.

Poor Toby Sexton. I know, but if Gus will, the Bulldogs are doing much better than what I think they are doing. So that one DCE big upgrade could win. I saw something. Could win a comp next two years. I did see something, and it wasn't from a confirmed report or anything like that, that he'd signed two years with the Roosters. I don't know why the Roosters are invested. I don't like it. I don't like it for the Roosters either? No. Put him at seven.

Walker at six. No, Walker's at seven. And then boom. No. Back in the ring game. Do you not see how it was when we had Walker at six and Kiri at seven? It didn't work. DC and Kiri aren't in the same level. I know. And DC's an actual fucking seven. I know, but Walker's at seven. I'd rather spend those two years investing with Sam Walker at seven than having DCU who's going to leave after two years. Makes no sense. Nah, I think it sounds like Roosters and Dolphins are the biggest chats.

I would love him to go to Dolphins. It'd be good for the league. What's the chances he goes to Gold Coast? You reckon Gold Coast give him an offer? We just shouldn't do that. Bad blood. I heard a little chat about Newcastle. With what money? At least you're actually buying a seven. That would be decent. I heard some ridiculous little scheme about Penrith. What? If all he wants to do is win, that's not a bad idea. And Penrith has got the money. I don't know how he's evaluated at 400k.

That's bullshit, in my opinion. I don't get that. And you know he's got money, so I don't think money is a big factor for him. Surely not. Well, he hasn't won a comp yet, has he? Yeah, he's won a couple. In his younger days. Was he there then? Yeah. Was that when they first started and they were beaten, like it was them and Melbourne all the time? Melbourne, yeah. DC was playing. Okay. So, yeah. So, he doesn't need to win either? Well, yeah.

So, yeah, it's been a good week of Rabbeleague and that's not even with games gone. Because now we get to the weekend and then we talk and have Rabbeleague around. And we start off Thursday night and we got the Penrith Panthers again on a Thursday night. A few early games here for the mighty Penrith. And they're up against the Rabbitohs at a core stadium. him. Rabdos, a lot of, even more injuries this week. They're not looking good. They're looking a bit weak.

Panthers are without Nathan Cleary though, but Dane Laurie comes back in. And a young fella. And a young fella. Jumped him. They're not playing Talangi. Trent. Talal. Yeah. Crushed it. I'm going with that. Who are you going? Who are you tipping? Who are you backing? Penrith 13 plus, mate. Oh, really? I can't do that, but that's what I'm doing. They're not losing three games in a row. So you're taking Panthers-Panthers then? Yeah, definitely. Because the line's

11 and a half. Oh, it is really. 11 and a half. Yeah. Yeah, they're not losing three in a row. Rabideaus, they got outshone last week by a better team. I think it's going to happen again. I think if there is this rain around, it's going to help Rabideaus a little bit, just make it closer, but I just... Well, we know the Panthers can't play in the wet. If Panthers lose this game, it could be panic stations.

And you guys were laughing at me this other season when I said they were going to miss the top four. Still laughing at it. Did I not? Though, I'm pretty sure if you rewind that tape, I did say Dylan Edwards has been getting injuries. Nathan Cleary's getting injuries. Guess who's both out right now with injuries? You can claim that, Matt. Fuck, I'm great. Go play it back. Are you tipping Rabideaus, mate? No, Panthers. But I'm taking Rabideaus with a line. Who was your try scorer, sorry?

Well, I've really been thinking about it all week. Is that because you've been absolutely shit on your team? I'm getting smashed at it, so I need to get some wins here. And for this game. You've hit what, four? Four. You've hit six try scorers in three rounds. Sorry, I'm just picking it because it's a sure thing. Alex Johnston. Okay. Have to. He's back the leading try scorer of the Rabbitohs. Second in NRL, he's going to score. Back. Well. Panthers haven't been looking good on the edges.

Fuck, he's not scoring, is he? No, you've just hexed him. What's Cody doing? So Cody, I'll chat on behalf of Cody in his absence because he sent his stuff all through to me. Should have let Jade have a go at it. And you've got to talk like Cody too. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it.

Oh, good, good, good, good. Does Jade want to do that? Otherwise I'm able to just roll. No, that is a shake of a head from Jade. With a smile though. She's gone red, though I think she might have just got a bit of sun earlier. Cody has gone Panthers and Rabbitohs with the line. So he's taken Panthers head-to-head, Rabbitohs with the line, and he's gone Paul Alamotti any time.

I'm a bit the same, actually. I've taken Panthers and the Rabbitohs with the line because they looked – I just – I don't know how the young fella's going to go on the halves. Clearly could – Ivan, this is – could do a switch last minute. You never really know. The Panthers just haven't looked like themselves. And what's really strange for Panthers this year is their defense is gone. It's not as good as what it used to be.

So I think 11.5 points, if they fix their defense, it gets back to what they were doing. They cover this. But I just can't trust it at the moment, so I'm taking rabbits with the line. And Scotty Sorensen, you picked him last week, Jake. Yeah, I was looking at him again. I'm like, it can hurt me. I'm not going on him again. And I just have a feeling that he's actually going to crash over this time, so I'm going to take Scotty Sorensen any time.

And the last two times the Panthers have versed the Rabbits, the left-back rower, which was Luke Garner, crossed. So I'm taking Scotty. And I've also got the same game for this one. And I don't like the fact that you took Alex Johnston, because he was in my same gamer, along with Isaac Tungo. And I touched on the Panthers' defense before. I'm taking the Rabbitohs to score between 11 and 20 points, because the Rabbitohs' attack hasn't been clicking. Yeah.

And the last five times, four out of the last five times, they've scored between 11 to 20 against Penrith. Oh, you're talking, sorry. Like to score points. I wasn't, listen, Rabideau's to score between 11 and 20. 11 and 20 points. Okay. Yes. Not to win by. Yeah, nah. And then I thought you said Panthers at first. I'm like, ooh, that's. Nah, nah, nah. Because Panthers can still attack. I think even with it, their attack is still very well structured without Cleary.

So $10 for that. Isaac Tungo anytime. Alex Johnston anytime. and Rabbitohs to score between 11 and 20 points for the game. Two tries. Two converted tries. Three converted tries. Two. A minimum of two. Two to three converted tries. Two to three. Or four tries, two converted. Or. Beautiful. Let's get to Friday, baby. Friday. It's another roost. It's Friday 5 o'clock games, Kyle. You're about this life. I don't like it. You don't like it?

No, it's not too bad. Get over and done with it. I get to see it and it's done. I'd rather them on a Friday night than a Saturday night. Yeah. And they're terrible on a Sunday, so I don't want them on a Sunday. I just don't want them to play. Can we have the bye every week? Well, we've got Friday. We've got the Roosters up against the Gold Coast Titans. Gold Coast been hit with some news this week with their star fullback, Kenny, out. Young fella, Jalen DeGroote, is in.

And that's about it in changes for these two teams. Roosters actually got a pretty similar team. Connor Watson is out. That hurts. Zach Dockler-Clay is coming in. Not a bad replacement, but definitely not Conor Watson there. How are we looking? I'm looking. I think the Roosters are going to win this game. And I think they might be doing this a bit this year, going up and down, up and down, up and down. We've got a vibe like they're going to have a shit game. Robertson's going to

be like, what are we doing, boys? We're better than that. And they're going to be like, yeah, we actually are. Let's play good. And then we play good. And then they're going to be like, oh, yeah, we're really good. And then we don't go take it. And then let's be shit again. So I'm going the Roosters and Gold Coast won last week, and we know Gold Coast as shit are backing up. So it's Roosters for me. The line is, I'm not sure. Six and a half.

Roosters will win by more than six and a half. So you're taking Roosters Roosters. You feeling all right, mate? You're still real salty they beat you last week, hey? No, I like Gold Coast. You didn't last Saturday. And Sandon Smith is going to score. Sandon Smith. He's going to be back. Back scoring 70 plus points to Supercoach. Yes, sir. Not bad. I'm going roosters, roosters. I feel like Kenny's a big loss. And AJ Brimson hasn't looked that great for

him. Nah, he's looked good. I actually haven't watched. I would have put him at fullback, but maybe they've got no better option. I actually haven't really watched the Titans games. I'm just going off his super coach scores, not scoring much. So just assume he's not doing much. But I think the other thing for us was that the Roosters have pumped him a lot. I don't think the Titans have beaten us since 2016. I'm taking Angus Crichton anytime. He's due. I've just hexed him, but he's due.

He hasn't scored one yet this season. No, but I like that. He's definitely due. Yeah. Old Cody. So this is his same gamer. But before we get to that, he is taking the Titans head-to-head for the upset. Set, so obviously taking the Titans with the line. Oh, where is he for the band troughs? Oh, mate. Just. He doesn't get footy, that bloke. That's probably why he didn't want to show up. Didn't want to face the music.

I wonder if we asked my phone call, get a quick little word about why he's tipping the Titans over the roosters. There must be something there, and he's taken Bo for more for his try-scorer tip. And then he's. He put that in a multi, Cody. That's nice. So his same game multi. It's opposite of that, isn't it?

It's not no actually It's quite surprising So he's You'd think with the way it starts So it's James Sadesco anytime But then he goes into Jojo Fofito to score first, second or third Into Bo for more anytime So he's doubling up on Bo. $40 for those three legs. Yeah. I like it. Yeah, so Tedesco anytime, Fermor anytime, and Jojo Fafita first, second, or third. He should have just taken Jojo out and just went Gold Coast to win. It would have been nice. $40 is nice, though.

Yeah, I thought you would like that. Anyway, Friday night, we're back at Suncorp Stadium, the home of Rugby League in Queensland, and we have the winless, rudderless Dolphins up against the Shetland Ponies, the Broncos, Are they back? I don't know. But I still can't not tip them. And at Suncorp, they're going to win and win well. They're just too hot and fast, unfortunately. This rain might slow them down here. They might get a little bit muddy on their hooves.

But I'm still going Broncos to win well. So you got them to cover on the 13.5 points? Yes. I should check these lines. But, yeah, 13.5. See, I did have Broncos initially. I'm switching to the Dolphins with the line, but Broncos head-to-head. Yeah. I just don't know if the... But it's one of these ones I wouldn't be surprised if the Dolphins got up. I would love it. I would love it too. Because the Broncos looked fairly average against the Cowboys last week.

And the Dolphins are going to be desperate. They need to get a win. Surely, eventually. Well, for the first 20-odd minutes against the Tigers, they look like the better squad, and they just fell in the ass. But if they can put together a full 80 minutes, They might be, they'll go a long way to winning the game. Who was your trial scorer, Carter? Did you say? No, I did not say, but it's Jordan Rickey. Oh, you're doing me, hey? I went Jordan Rickey last week.

Oh, damn it. Can I change it? Well, he didn't score last week, so he's probably due. And then for Cody, simple, Broncos, Broncos, Arthurs. He hasn't go for it. He hasn't let him down. I didn't even need him to send me anything through for this one. I knew what it was going to be. And you know what? I'm backing him this week. Broncos, Broncos, Arthurs. I'm with him. The bloke seems to know something about the Broncos, so I'm backing him on that one. You completely copied it? Yeah.

Fair enough. Well, this is my same game multi, and we've had a tough couple weeks, so I've taken a bit more time. I've crunched some numbers. I've crunched some stats. And this is a storyline bet, and that's what I'm all about, because that's what the numbers and stats are telling me, storyline bets. And the big Tony Sucker, Katoni Staggs, is back in action. He loves a meat pie. He loves not passing the ball.

I think he's going to be working hard for Madge Maguire, and he's definitely going to score in his game back in rugby league for 2025. So I've got Tony Stagg to score a try. Leading into... I don't remember. I can see our host is well prepared here. I have a lot going on. I'm thinking about Cody's lines, thinking about my own lines. I've got a lot of Broncos, though. Do you want me to finish it off for you there, mate? No, definitely not. I got it. I've got Broncos winning by 11 to 20 points.

No, I've got them winning by 20 to 30 points. Yes, I do. 21 to 30. I've got them winning 21 to 30, winning big. Ketani Siag's the score. See, this is the problem with me sending them to you straight away. Then I just lose them. I remembered how to find it. That's right. Just check your messages. Yeah, I remember that's how I find it. Yep. Bread hot. Well prepared. Jesse Arthurs, mate. Oh, yeah. Of course. Yeah, that's why I've lost it already. Because everyone keeps talking about Jesse Arthurs.

So, Jesse Arthurs, Katoni Sags. First, second or third. First, second or third. Yes, that's right. Got him going over early. Like, one of his first touches the ball. Bang, bang. Fucking Yahoo! who went and touched on the Broncos, yee-haw in the corner, corner of Caxon Street, yep, and Broncos win and win well, 21 to 30. They're going to turn it on a bit. They definitely weren't great last week, but they're going to be a bit more cleaner this week.

And, you know, they just like just showing these young Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast teams that, we're Brisbane, mate. We're the capital of the state. So there we are. Just for the odds reference, that's 25-75. 25-75, yeah, that's nice. That's tidy. Beautiful. Let's get to Sunday afternoon and we'll... Saturday. That's what I meant to say, Saturday. And we've got a guest speaker for Saturday because we're talking about her beloved dragons.

We got the dragons back from the bye up against the top of the ladder, undefeatable Melbourne Storm. Confident? Can we hear you? No. Not confident from the Illawarra local and neither am I. The word from the gong is they're not confident. I think they're going to play all right. You know, Shane Flanagan is going to get them up after the bye. And I'd love them to win, but I just can't tip against Melbourne, that Storm at the moment.

They're playing too good. But I will take the line of nine and a half. Nice. And I've got to go someone, someone hot. No, I can't keep going with Dragon. Try scorers, they fucking suck. Shit. You've got the Storm who could probably blow them out. I'm going to put him in my Supercoach team. I'm going to put the captain on him. You want to, you're going to take that with the news of him probably being injured. Yeah, he's still playing, mate. A little ankle sprain, mate.

Okay. You need all the trisporing points you can get, though. Okay, you're right. I'm taking it back. Stop them. Harry Grant. Watch him play and score. Because you know what the funny thing is? Cody's gone storm, storm, Pappenhausen. Okay. I don't mind changing Harry Grant because I'm going to get three points when he's going to get one point. And I'm coming. Yep. You're coming from a long way back. Yep. I'm with you, though, Jake. I reckon Storm will get it done.

I had a look at the last couple of times they've played at Wind Stadium. And Dragons have kept it fairly close, though. Well, I didn't even mention they're playing at beautiful Wind Stadium. Yeah. And the last time the Dragons versus Storm, and it was at Amy Park, they won. Oh, there was a game last year. Yeah. Might be changing my tip. So I'm taking the Storm, because you can't go against them. But I'm taking the Dragons to cover. I reckon nine and a half.

I think it's actually a really good line. It's probably going to be around that. But I reckon they're only going to lose by eight. And give me Eli Katoa. He's been on a red-hot streak. He's going again. He's trying to steelcoat his thunder, mate. Keep taking these triscores from last week. He's got Pappenhausen. You and Eli Katoa, you got Jesse Arthurs. Fuck you now. Well, I've got the same gamer here. And I've also got Ryan Pappenhausen in the bet because I placed it before I knew this news.

So hopefully he plays and he's no stress. Will Warbrick any time. He's back in the team. So our boy is going to score, and he's probably going to get Dalliam points. He's going to score two, Kyle. Hey? What? He's going to score two. Well, you can do that. I've already placed the money, mate. Damn it, this is not fun. Told you this. Can't alter. And then just to spice things up a little bit, because he's been setting up bulk tries in their first two games. Don't do it.

And the last couple of times of Dragons versus Storm, Tyrell Sloan has scored at fullback. Don't do it, mate. So I've gone Clint Gutherson. The Guth arena. Because I feel like if the Dragons are a chance of an ambush, Gutho's going to be involved there somewhere. Yeah, but not Scorch-Rise. Scoring a meat pie. Nah. So give me Pappenhausen, Warbrick, and Gutherson any time. $10.80. Beautiful. That's it. That's nice. Beautiful. Let's get it.

Sunday, Snoozefest game. We're still not on Sunday, mate. I keep saying Sunday instead of Saturday. I don't know why. Because the sun is not out, maybe. And it's Saturday. The sun's not out, so you say Sunday. Yeah, because I want the sun to come out. Over the rain. We've got too much rain, mate. I'm fucking fed up. Maybe you should be over the rainbow. We're my pot of gold. Aren't you the leprechaun that holds it? I'm not a leprechaun, mate. Too tall. Over four foot tall, mate. Barely. Barely.

Well, we're going over the top of the rainbow, top of Queensland. We're going North Queensland. Cowboys up against the Ricky Raiders. Rickety Raiders. We've got a team here looking like the shittest team haven't won a game up against the Raiders who played like shit last week. Tough game. Dollar night right in the middle. The team that looks like shit and hasn't won a game is the favorites.

Four cents, mate. Still favorites. Still favorites. It's because... I actually haven't looked at history in this. Four cents difference. Five line. No, I believe you. I'm looking at the same thing, mate. I'm going Cowboys to win. You'll take... Yeah. You can't keep losing. They're not going to lose four in a row. Nah, they're not losing four in a row. You're not expecting the Raiders to bounce back. They were pretty bad. Still in Townsville. I'm probably going to be wrong. Don't...

Like, you know, I'm not that great at tipping game, but I just... Cowboys are going to win. They surely have to win again. They're not that bad. Well, since they've... Because they've moved from 1-300 smiles, hey. Yeah, it was a long time ago. Yeah, so the Raiders actually haven't won at this new stadium since it's been built. That's a good tip. But, and I feel like the Cowboys showed a little bit of fight against the Broncos last week, but, so you're going Cowboys.

Yeah, I'm going Cowboys. And with the line being at 0.5, you're obviously taking the Cowboys at the line. Who's your try scorer? It's a benchy, but I'm going Danai. Danai. He's going to come back into form, run over for a try. Three points too, let's go. Okay. And he's in my draft team, so, you know, a little bit, a little bit hooking. I've gone, I'm taking the Raiders. Yeah. I just can't trust the Cowboys. That's fair.

Like, I know the Raiders were absolutely shit last week, but you're going to expect, you have to expect a response from a Ricky Stewart side that had, what, fucking 30 put on them in a half, and at one point looking like they were going to concede 50. So I reckon the Raiders respond. They win, cover the line, and old Savage will get one, playing safe on this one. Cody, on the other hand, he's gone Raiders, Raiders as well.

But his try scorer, I don't know what he's seeing here, but he's taken Joe Tappany. Now, Joe Tappany scores about two tries a season, if that. Trust you, mate. He didn't score one last year. Oh, that's right. That was all on his train. Maybe it's the fuck you, James, bet. Maybe. Tappany's finally back, and he's going to show that he's a much better super coach player then. Maybe. Maybe. But he's taken Tappany for three points.

And then Cody's got the same gamer for this, and he's gone Scotty Drinkbloke to score any time, Sebastian Chris or Jackson Perdue to score any time, into Joe Tappany any time. Oh no, he's put him in his multi-two. Yeah. That's going to boost up to about $40 as well. You're wrong. $28.75. That's a gross bet, Cody. Tappany made up $7.50 of that. Why don't you get a pop of ear, mate? You shouldn't want your boy.

But, you know, he's basically banking on Tappany scoring because Scotty Drink, like, Sebastian Crystal, Jackson Perdue should get there. And you know if the Cowboys are going to put on a performance up at North Queensland against the Raiders, Scotty Drinkboat's going to get across. So don't mind it if Tappany scores. If Tappany scores early, mate, it's on. We're on. It's on. Awesome. Let's get to the Saturday night. There we go. Go down.

Saturday night. It's a big, big horse game here, but the odds don't show that, and unfortunately, the Bulldogs are missing a few plays here for their first game against the top team, top predicted team. We've got the Cronulla Sharks up against the Bulldogs. We are at Shark Park, though, so I think that helps Cronulla a lot. They love playing there. Saturday night, who knows what it's going to be like. It could be a tornado there, but it's going to be red hot.

And I think we're going to show, it's going to show me this game that the dogs aren't in that class, mate. And the Sharks are going to win well. Mate, come on. Now, this would be a red hot game. Oh, 10 and a half is huge. 10 and a half line is massive. I'm going it though. You're taking the Sharky, Sharkys. Yeah, the dogs, mate, they've got no kick out, no Burton. I'm sure they lost someone else this week. Who's your try scorer, bud? My boy. No, I shouldn't do that.

Stone Street. Now, fuck that dog. He's out. He's out. Never talk about that. Fucking bloke again. Fucking dog. That was a bit aggressive. Sorry. Oh, man. I'm going to put money on him to score three now. Yeah, I'm Braden Trindle. Crash over again. Double-double. Oh, you're taking my try score from last week again, huh? Fuck you now, bud. Get your own picks. Well. I can't go Sharks and shoot a dog's try score. I was like, Cody would. You're right. I'm not doing that. Huh.

Well, what have I taken here? I've taken the Sharkies, and as I was about to say before. Oh, he's on the Sharks. We've been robbed of an absolute classic here, because if Matty Burden was here, sorry, Burden was playing, Kikau was playing, Bulldogs were full strength, Sharkies full strength, this would be a red-hot game, and it would be a good game to evaluate where both teams are actually at.

So I don't really like the chat of yours saying that the Bulldogs will find out that the Bulldogs are pretenders, because they're missing two key parts to their team. But anyway, I still think the Dogs will do enough to cover the line of the 10.5. And, like, you just have to take him. He's scored every week so far. Britta Nikora is crossing again. Keep riding him till he falls, basically. And Cody's gone fairly similar in his pick. He's gone Sharks to win Bulldogs with the line.

And he's taken Kyle Iroh anytime. So this is my same game multi and I just had an epiphany and actually thought about it a bit more instead of just storylines and I'm like... And then you just also mentioned it too. I've got Kyle Iroh to score. He's up against Stephen Krund. He probably won't score. But I've got Kyle Iroh into Jesse Raymond. I'm seeing a bit of center attack from the Sharks. They love their hard lines and they're playing great football and Raymond has been just...

He's playing so good, but he hasn't got that many tries yet. So I think he's good. Kyle Ureira, I think he's scored too many. He's not scoring. But I still got him to score again. I'm very convinced. Should change it, but I can't because Kyle's locked him in. Fuck me, Kyle. Why are you locking us up? I tell you what, you're definitely instilling the punters with confidence here. I've got Iroh, Raymond. I'm going Sharks to win well, so I've also got another

Shark in my bet, and his name is Tig Wilton. I've got the left edgy. But if you want to change it when I can't change it, I would swap out Iroh for Stephen Crichton for a little bit more odds, and I feel better about that. But that's not what I've done because I can't change it now. Oh, Carter. But that one's paying like $40, so that's not bad. Not quite. $30, but. $30, yeah. I knew it was a round number. You are on fire tonight, bud. Now we can get to Sunday, Jake.

It's a bit late to start time, mate. Oh, well. And, you know, I should have had more of it now, but I didn't. People wanted to keep shot coming over. Fucking get some green and fucking get blah, blah, blah. Oh, some broccoli, hey? Yeah, broccolini. Okay, let's get to Sunday. Sunday, we've got some interesting games on again on a Sunday. I don't know. I feel like the Sunday schedules haven't been that great. A lot of... Well, it doesn't help when they keep having Parramatta.

Parramatta are playing like the worst team. They're playing like a... Mate, what are you talking about? Parramatta are undefeated Thursday, Friday, Saturdays. They are. That's a good chat. I love that. But we're going to the home of Munnly Seagulls, Brookvale. Bit of controversy around Brookvale this week with the news of DC leaving. And the team just disrespecting him as a legend. Just a quick question. Do the fans boo him? No. They're not going to boo him? No, they're going to clap him.

They're going to boo him. They're booing the club. They're booing the club. Yeah, DC is fucking all front footed to this shit saying, nah, you didn't give me a contract. You didn't offer me. You didn't rate me. Get up, yeah. Get a dog up, yeah. they're all about their plays. So I reckon they're going to be like, fuck the club. Could be wrong, but I can see that happening. And I still think, They could win this year. So if they start booing him, they'll be like,

no, DC will be like, fuck you guys. And I'll go play for Queensland and then set up for the rest of the year. But anyway, we've got Manly up against Parramatta. Tommy Turbo back in. Ruben Garrick on fire. Manly on fire. This is... I don't want to know what the line is because it might scare me, but nah. 18 and a half. Nah. Manly. Manly. Manly. They're just flat-track bullies. They love playing at Brookvale.

And Parramatta have not shown much. They did show a little bit more last week, but still not enough. That's a lot of points. I'm taking Parramatta's line. Take that all back. Man, they're going to win by like 18 on the dock. So you're saying that's a really well set line. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. I know what they're doing, these dogs. Who should try a scorer, buddy? Well, it's got to be Daily Cherry Evans. Get around it. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Have we all done it? We're doing a 50-buck bed again. No, lucky I saved us. Oh. Because obviously Cody's buying into the storyline. Yeah, mate. So he's going sea eagles, sea eagles. He's reckoned they're covering it. So he's obviously thinking they're going to do a bit of a number on them. And he's also taking DCE to score. Part of me wanted to. I'm not going to lie. But I was also very worried that you two would. And I'm like, ah, I don't know.

But I've gone. You anticipated it and we could have done another multilead bet. And see what happens? No, no, actually, I kind of figured Cody probably would. I didn't know about you, though. You were the... The iffy one, I guess I could say. Well, if I was still thinking about this and remembering these, instead of just our same game, I probably wouldn't have won him. But I sometimes forget about that. We're doing this every game. And then I'm like, oh, fuck. You're on DC. Yeah.

So yeah, right. If I probably thought about it, I would have won someone else. Yeah, no. So I've gone Seagulls to win. But I've also felt like an 18 and a half is probably too big. Even though I wouldn't be surprised if Manly beat him by 50. But I felt like the Eels did show a little bit of resolve against the Doggies last week. Although the Doggies did look shit. Compared to usual. So it's hard to tell. I'm taking the 18 and a half.

Just a quick little stat. I had a bit of a look. And only when a team's been a double-figured handicap, only one favorite's covered it so far this season. And I think there's been, what, seven. Wow, interesting. I mean, I'm taking Reuben Garrick anytime. He's going to continue. Give me Garrick. I reckon he's going to score a few. And I've backed that up in the same game multi. That would be a Newcastle round two against Dolphins. No, we probably weren't. Reuben Garrick to score two or more.

Gross. The last two times he's versus Eels, he's scored two. He's not scoring six tries in two weeks, Kyle. Think about it, mate. Last two times he's versus. You don't think about the narratives enough. Mate, a six-pack. A six-pack right now, he scores two or more. Fucking oath. Done. Done. Six-pack. Six-pack. I don't give a, not the rest of the bet, just him scoring two. Yeah, I don't care either. Six-pack. Yeah, right. 10-pack for me if he does, 6-pack for you if he doesn't.

Yep, 10-pack if he doesn't even score one, though. Okay. Okay. Yeah, done. Done. So, 10-pack for me if he scores two. Yeah. 6-pack if he scores one but not the second for you. But if he doesn't score one, 10-pack for you. Yeah, done. Lock it in, Eddie. What?

So Gareth can score two or more Josh had a car anytime And because you can't trust him to finish a game I'm going Tommy Turbo for second or third, I like this bit. No, I hate the Garak line, but I like the other lines. Because I reckon he's going to be paying like a good $20 from you too, mate. $24.50. Yeah, that's nice. But Garak's not scoring too. He is. He's in form. He's not scoring six tries for two weeks, mate. I just don't think that happens.

Some blokes don't score six tries in five years. Yeah, it's all to Tappany. Mate, so do you reckon Alex Johnson's never scored fucking six tries in two games? Yeah, but he's a winner. Has he scored six and one? No, surely not. Was it five? Maybe six. I remember he scored six, Nigel Vangner. I thought Nathan Merritt scored six. Probably has. That's the guy I think of, Nigel Vangner. Probably 2004, 2005, played for the Bulldogs.

I don't know. I always remember it because he scored his six try and he went to do six on his fingers and he couldn't do it because his fingers were all taped together because they were broken. So it was pretty funny. I don't know why that picks out.

Could have been against Newcastle? Probably. But yeah You guys have been shit For a while Fuck off This is ages ago We're good then We're okay, You were good And you let a guy Score six tries That's when the Bulldogs Were a fucking good team Red hot Back when Hazemel Magic Hazemel Magic Oh Hazemel Magic, Anyway Final game Matty Utah One of my favourites Fuck yeah But then Luke Patton He was so shit But he was good The general He was just bored Brett Sherwood Shifty Sherwood Anyway.

Willie Mason Markham Oh that was a good team It's a red hot. Okay, we're getting to the last game of the week. And we're getting to the last minutes of the podcast. Because, fuck. We're getting a bit hangry, thirsty, tired. All of the above. But we've got the West Tigers versus the New Zealand Warriors. This is going to be a good game. We have two teams that have won two games in a row. And are coming for finals, maybe. Who knows?

Two wild cards of the season so far, in my opinion. But I'm loving watching them win games. People get around these two clubs at the moment. I don't know where to go, though. I just don't think the Tigers can win three in a row. But I'm not confident the Warriors can win in Australia. So it's tough. Where are they playing? I'm guessing Campbelltown. I actually didn't check that when I was doing me stuff. Surely they're Campbelltown. It's not like us. It is Campbelltown.

Campbelltown. On a Sunday Arvo. Oh. Ooh, I don't want to go. I've got, I'm not sure. Really tough, but I've tipped the West Tigers win. They're going to win three in a row. First time in a very, very long time. Well, if you take away 2022, so in 2022, the Warriors won 16 to 12. But prior to that, anytime they played at Campbelltown, so the last three before that they played at Campbelltown against the Warriors was round two, 2019, Tigers won 34 to 6.

The next one, round one, 2016. Tigers won 34-26. Round 25, 2015, 50-16. I'm taking Tigers-Tigers, mate. Did you see that one though, mate? The Warriors have won their last seven against the West Tigers. Oh! Yeah, but everyone's won their last seven against the Tigers. Yeah, I'm going Tigers-Tigers. I'm just not sure if New Zealand can win Australia yet. I would love them to prove me wrong, but let's keep going on the Tigers bandwagon.

They're playing better and better. They're full strength, so that's good for them. Lukey Metcalf is... Warriors, RTS is out. That hurts. That's a massive loss for them. Yeah. So who's your try scorer, sorry, bud? Let's have a little sneaky look. Well, you get to that. I'm going to just quickly go through mine. I'm taking Tigers, Tigers. I reckon they'll cover. Because I just don't trust the Warriors outside of New Zealand. Sorry.

I know Luke Metcalf on his current trajectory is meant to have a blinder, But I think just the loss of RTS could be too much for him. And give me the dream to score any time. Jareem Bula. Well, I'm going Tigers-Tigers as a consistant. And I've had a quick look. And I'm chasing some points. He hasn't scored yet for the Tigers. Oh, let me just... Hold on. Let me just type this in real quick before you say it. Three letters? Three letters?

I don't know, mate. Yeah. Yeah, I like it. I looked into a... He likes to score a try, and I think the Warriors have looked a bit shaky in the middle. That's not a bad shout from you. Thanks, mate. I don't mind that. And I'm only saying that's not a bad shout, because I also considered it. I was like... Yeah, cool. Anyway, big codes. He's obviously thinking this is going to be a close one. Yeah. He's taken the Tigers to win, for the Warriors to cover the four and a half

points. He's going to be real close. Yeah. An absolute classic to end the round. Nice. A little bit of OT wouldn't be bad to end the week of footy. But he's taken Adam Dewey. Oh, I'd like that. To cross. Yes, please. I would love for that to happen in my super coach. Yeah. Still holding him. He's going all right. But keep going, boy. He's been doing right without scoring trials. You know, service. It's all about the service for me. But I'm not going to watch these games like

cruising back from New South Wales. It'd be nice. Now, going off... So Cody's got the same game here. Yeah. He's gone a bit crazy this one. He's gone a bit loose. Off the ledger a bit. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. He's obviously buying into the whole Tigers best defense stuff here.

So he's gone to Reem Buller and he's really locked himself in, If you're going off what he's tipped, he's really locked himself in until there's only going to be two try scorers here for the Tigers, which is Doreen Buller and Adam Dewey. Because he's got both teams to score 10 as no. Huh? So basically, he's saying the Warriors aren't going to score 10 points.

He's a team to score. So both teams to score 10 is no. So with him having two Tigers try scorers, As long as one of those is converted, that's 10 points. So basically, he's saying the Tigers are going to keep the Warriors. It was like a 10-6. 10-6 game to go perfect. Yes, basically. Fuller and Dewey to score. Yes. Fucking. Or 8-4. Oh, we must be looking at like $80 odds then. Nah, 41-75. Yeah, when he sent that through, I was like, okay. No worries. I like the first two leagues.

And I have to admit the Warriors did look pretty shaky against the Roosters side that hasn't had their best defensive schemes of late or this season and the Tigers are the best there is in terms of defense to start this season so if that trend continues he might be on to something, so don't mind it get around it well that is a week of rubber league get around it guys now let's get to it let's get juicy let's hit some ticks and let's get a muttly better and if I've got anything from, I do.

We've got something from the banker. Oh, the banker has come in. He's rung in. The banker has rung in. He's all about the Broncos this week again. He is on the Broncos again.

So, our banker has dabbled on the Friday night game of the Dolphins versus the Broncos. He likes the Broncos head-to-head. He likes Herbie Farnworth scoring any time and I do not mind that. Herbie does not mind a try at Suncorp. Against his old team too? Against his old team. He's then got Either Rhys Walsh The Hammer Or Cobbo To score a try Just either one of those Three to score a try And, And then he's obviously already heard you, Carter, because he's taken Jordan Rickey.

So that's Bronco's head to head, Herbie any time, Rickey any time, and then either one of Walsh, Hammer, or Cobbo to score any time. 15-25. He's raining in a bit. He's raining in a bit. He wants to hit one. He wants to get some reputation under his skin. That's from our beloved banker. Good on you. You should chuck Staggs in there, mate. He's fucking on one. Anyway, let's get to our crucials, baby. Let's start. Let's get crucial. Let's start a little. Let's start good.

And I've done a little bit of soul searching, listening. I've taken on some passive aggressiveness. Constructive criticism. Passive aggressive. Passive aggressive construction criticism from Kyle. That is what I have been taking on. And that is no lie. And I've backed my boy in. I'm sure he's going to score, so I'm putting him in my Crucial, and that is Tony Staggs. That's not a bad shout from you. Thank you. I'm glad you're coming around. He's not scoring, is he, Kyle?

Mate, but that's the thing. Like, sometimes, mate, the thing is sometimes your absolute lock, it just doesn't happen. You know, it doesn't. You know. Cody, on the other hand, it has been happening, apart from round zero. Anytime that he's taken a Crucial that's played in Australia, yeah, they've all been playing in Australia, I think, they've won. And he is doubling down on his Tigers game. So he's just gone with either Doreen Buller or Adam Dewey to score any time.

Ah. Yeah, I guess we can do that. Well, yeah. Are they like $1.30 odds, though, usually? $1.67. Okay, so not too bad. Yeah, so he's gone the Doreen. Still balled the fucking Jesse Arthur, so I'll take it. Yes, it is higher than the Jesse Arthur's one he took earlier. And I'm rounding that off with, I'm starting Thursday night. I'm trying to get us a dub on a Thursday night. And I've taken Isaac Tungo anytime.

It's pretty shit the last two weeks. Steven Croydon while he played at right center, did enjoy scoring tries against South. Isaac Tungo's also scored his last couple of times against South. So that right center spot obviously seems to be a weakness for him. And the fact that Isaac Tungo's paying $2.30, I was like, I can't say no. I like that. Nathan Cleary's not playing though. so they might hurt him a little bit. Well... He needs to stand up a bit. He'll have Dane Laurie running out outside.

True. He loves a little handoff. Beautiful. So $2.20, $2.70, $2.70. We're looking about $9.80. Not quite that. Have you been boosting any of these, Kyle? Well, not really. Well, I only get a certain amount of boosts that I do in one day. Well, you should boost our monthly bet take the time. Well, I did last week. That didn't work for us. No. We only got one out of three. So I didn't do it this week. $8.45 for those three things.

Okay, now let's get big. Let's get bad. Maybe let's not get too crazy because we just want one. One. And it's against my betting, but I really like him to score. And he was paying a nice $3.50. I'm going big. I'm going to dog himself. I'm going with Stephen Critton and crash over. Stephen Critton. Well, I've got no stats to back up, But I would say he scores more for the Bulldogs when they lose games than win. Probably. Because he likes trying to stand up.

And then. I was actually trying to find a way if you could get a market for a player to score in the second half. Couldn't really find it. But I didn't really look that hard. So there probably is there some way. Anyway. Cody's tripled down. Oh, no. So he picked him in his tip. He picked him in his same gamer. Don't tell me. No, it's not that one. Okay. At least that makes me feel a bit better. Did you think it was happening? So fuck me down. It's bow for more. Okay. For $4.40.

Are they messing in? The Roosters. The Roosters. Oh, I hate that. Right. Left edge. Yeah, that's not against Angus Cronin. Yeah, I like that. What about? Yep. That's against, it would probably be now a Nat. I don't know if Nat Butcher's coming into the Australian line-up, but anyway. So I'm rounding that off, and you're not going to like this, Jake. But I just, I've got a feeling, and I need to break, Cody and I both need to break this hoodoo. We haven't hit a big buck yet all season.

And I feel like if anyone's going to break my hoodoo. Don't go Gary. Double. Don't do it. It's going to be Gutho. It's the king to score against Melbourne at Wynn Stadium. I hate that. Give me Gutho for $3.15. He's fucked me over twice. I don't hate that. Croydon any time, into Bofemore any time, into Gutho any time. We ran this in a bit. We've been a bit more methodical about it, but we've still got a little bit juicy. So I'm still thinking $20.

Mate, come on. $25. This is, it's not our lowest. And our lowest was round one of $38.43. Shit. It's a big buck, mate. Both of them are a bit juicy.

Yeah, okay. Both of them are the longest odds here. $42. Ooh, that's not bad. It's $45. Ooh. And $0.04. Come on. I actually do really red hot like this one. We could have a bigger bar this week and go Tappany into Garrick into a double. Cody, he did actually provide me a little extra. Oh, where does this come from? Extras. So in his notes, he sent me special event multi. I thought he said he was busy at work. Sounds like he had some time in his hand. Yeah, clearly. So special event multi.

Arthur's, Nikara, Iro, all any time. Load up. Nah, gross. The Eros are not scoring four weeks in a row, three weeks in a row. I guess Stephen Kreider, mate, think about it. Best defensive center in the world. I've got a special event, fucking multi. Were you talking? I've got a special event, multi. And that is put your houses, put your fucking bank, put wherever you want. Please don't. Gamble responsibly. Newcastle to win.

Done. It's not safe. Fucking hell. It's not safe. It's safe as houses, mate. I heard Arthur O'Brien changing the halves for this week. Yeah, well, still. Anyway, get around it. That's round four of the Rugby League. And up the Knights. Two points, baby. Lock it in. Up the dogs. Thank you. Bye.
