¶ Intro / Opening
You laughed at me. Wow. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the episode of the Mutley Crew.
¶ Introduction and Game Room Vibes
And we're here in the game room boulevard. We're in the bulasky in the afternoon sun. It's creeping through the windows, creeping on our necks and shoulders and arms. And I'm here with Kyle. Mr. Cody. Unavailable. It's the Mutley 2 today. The Mutley 2 again today, rolling. Things came up. So the early shift didn't work for Cody, but we had to get the knee out. And he's just the odd man out once again. But that's all right. We'll keep on rolling.
We got his dirty long legs. We got his tips and bits and slips and dips. And that's all we need. That's all we need from him really today. Yeah, did you hear that, Cody? You're not relevant. We don't need you here today. That's what we really need from him. That's really rude, Jake.
¶ Mutley Crew’s Rugby League Rundown
Well, two weeks in a row. Two podcasts now we've done without him, without Kyle, zero. Without Jake, zero. So, I'm reading the room. Oh, no, there was a couple of episodes we didn't do at all. Yeah. So, we do have one registered to our names. Two years. No, you and I. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Three to Cody, one each to you and me. No, I'm saying there's no podcast without me. There's no podcast out there without you. But now there's going to be two without Cody.
Okay, but what's your name? My name's Jake. I'm here to talk some bets and tips and slips and vips. And we're around... Seven. Seven of the Rugby Rugby League, baby. Rugby Rugby League. And let's get straight in it on a beautiful long Easter weekend. We've got games galore, games every day. Have you got time off over this period, mate?
¶ Easter Weekend Excitement
No, work after tomorrow. Should be finished by 11 o'clock tomorrow at least. I can't wait. It's only been three days this week. So you're coming to the city or are you just going straight to the pub? I'm feeling it. City tomorrow. On Thursday, I've got cricket. Definitely going to the city. Oh, you shouldn't take the night off. I've got two games of cricket. Do we have Super League this weekend? No, of course not. It's easy to make.
Sweet. We don't have to. I think you and I have never played, basically. Played that one game. I know. It feels like it. Our season starts after Easter. That's how I felt. I knew it was going to be like that this season. We had things on and all that. I was like, we're going to have one game. The team's going to be losing. And then after Christmas, Easter, then we're fucking locked in. And we'll put the team on our back and hit a lot of runs. And bowl a lot of wickets.
¶ Thursday Night Showdown
And a lot of rev-ups. And, you know, just get into it. But that's not for another two weeks now. Yeah, right. So enjoy it. Enjoy your two quiet weekends, Kyle, in a row. Fucking hell. Well, it was a long weekend. I might get used to it. Mine will come back. Maybe. I've paid me rego, but I basically don't have to see that money again, so it's obsolete, basically. All right, where are we starting? Starting Thursday night. Thursday night is a bit of a barn burner, possibly.
A barn burner? Maybe. It could be. What is a... It's got potential. Just... Like, I understand what you mean, But for some of those listeners, Cody, what do you mean? Well, it's when you have a farmhouse of birds, such as sea eagles, and then you've got a mythical creature, like the dragons, who can just burn fire. Burn that barn onto fire. Burn barn. Fuck yeah. Oh, man. Khaleesi would be so proud. Thank you. But here we are.
We have Munley versus St. George Illawarra. are manly the mothers of dragons or are they not, I don't know. What? I've got no idea. No Tommy Turbo. Not back in. They are at Brookie. Thursday night. I'm going to tip the Dragons, Kyle. You're taking the Dragons? I think they're just playing better football at the moment. The Dargons. The Dargons. They're playing better football at the moment. Their coach is just playing games with players and teams.
¶ Crucial Weekend Matches
And Munley, they looked a bit out of it at the moment. Still no Tommy Turbo. Waiting for him to come back. Oli Kwaadu doesn't look fit. Think of the Dragons' little outside pit post. I'm waiting for you to probably come with a stat that, you know, the drag is an absolute shit at Brookie, but I've got no idea about that. St. George will win. And my try scorer, can't go him because he keeps never scoring when I like him. Was that Suli or Gutho or which one? Val Holmes?
So I was going to go nice and comfortable and go Tyrell Sloan on the right wing. Tyrell Sloan. Right. But I'll give you Cody's in his absence. So he feels like the Seagulls are going to win this one. But he reckons the Dragon's going to cover the line. I highly doubt he actually looks to the line because he never does. But the line's currently sitting at three and a half points.
So he's got this one being a close one again. So Dragon's to cover the three and a half points and he's taking Tala Coca-Cola anytime. Now, I had a bit of a look at this one and I, I couldn't get a read on it. See? Couldn't get a read on it. Seagulls, though, although they're at Tommy Turbo, Lehigh looks all right at the back.
He's not Tommy, but if you're going to get a replacement for Tommy that's not Pappenhausen, Tedesco, or Luttrell, or Caelan Ponga, well, no, not Caelan Ponga at the moment, but Lehigh's not a bad replacement there. So I'm taking the Seagulls head-to-head. I'm with Cody on this one. But I think Seagulls are actually going to win well. Give me the... Well, they are home track bullies. They are. And the Dragons, the last time they were on the road, they lost to the Eels.
So, can't trust the Dragons on the road. So, give me Seagulls. Give me the Seagulls with the line, and I'm giving Homoli. Homoli Oluquatu is crushing over any time. Now, I only knew this much about it because I actually did look into it because this is one of my games that I'm... This is my same gamer. So, mention Lehigh. Last time he played the Dragons, he was at fullback, and he scored a try. So, I'm backing that again. Hamoli has a great record of scoring tries against the Dragons.
He's scored four times over his last five. So, give me Hamoli, and I do agree with your Tyrell Sloan joke. So, give me Tyrell Sloan any time. So, Lehigh any time, Olakwatu any time, Sloan any time. $12. bucks. Mmm, 12 bucks with some big dogs at school. I like that. Mmm. Red hot, I reckon. But I just think Hamali, he's looked a bit bumped and bruised last week. Yeah, he's had a couple of injections, I've heard, and he's just going to come
out rampaging, mate. Just go on. Just running over the top of him. What's scarier than Hamali? Hamali are drugs.
¶ Good Friday Clash
Okay, let's get to it. Let's get to the beautiful, the feather pitch, a good Friday clash on a four o'clock Friday game. We've got the top of the ladder Bulldogs up against the resurgent Rabideaus. First versus fifth. What a game it should be. Cody Walker, big in for the Rabideaus. Campbell Graham. Campbell Graham back in. And Louis Dodd coming on the bench. It'll be interesting if he actually starts. It's a little bit of a shield. You know, Wayne likes to play these games. But we'll see.
But what about the Bulldogs? Back in action this week. Some big guns back in. Matt Burden back in. Kick out on the extended bench. Might jump in. Jacob Kraz still in again. Second game of the year. Bulldogs are looking pretty fucking hot to trot. But I still hate them. But they're going to win. They're going to win this game. I think it'll be close. But what is the line? Nine and a half points. Nine and a half. Oh. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, it's going to be a Good Friday cracker.
The Rabideaus will hold the line, but I think the Dogs will win again. Make it a 6-0 to start the year. And give me... Ooh! Luttrell. Luttrell Mitchell, he hasn't scored yet. He's coming back in. Give me that extra point at 5-8. Luttrell's scoring. Not bad. But I just changed my tip. Oh, just changed. Yeah. I'm just, so I originally had Bulldogs-Rabbits because I'm locking in, like if this was my game, my crucial, my absolute pick for this week is that line, nine and a half points, too many.
For like an Easter game, this is a game that both of these teams get up for. Wayne Bennett. Are you going to change it though? Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking an old-fashioned, what do they call it? Ambush. Ambush? Rabbits are going to get the chocolates here. Whoa. The Bulldogs are going to lose their first game. It's going to be up against the Rabbiter. If they're going to lose one, this is where they're going to lose it. Coming out of a bye, there might be just a little slow starting.
And the Rabbits might just get the chocolates here. That's my little... But banging in on that line, nine and a half is too many points. Because you know Wayne Bennett's going to get the Rabbits after this game. Campbell Graham coming back in. It's the bunnies on Easter. It is. You know, that's an omen. Yeah. In saying that, Bulldogs could win by 50. Fucking 40. Yeah.
¶ Saturday’s Game Preview
So give me Rabbits Rabbits. And give me Stephen Carodin, though. He loves a try against the bunnies. Does love a meat pie against the bunnies. So give me the critter. I haven't changed that. But Cody is with you, Jake, identically. What? Bulldogs, Rabbits, Luttrell. What? Yeah. Bulldogs, Rabbits, Luttrell. So this is Cody's game, I believe, as well. He has taken, he's also taken Luttrell, so he's doubled up on Luttrell in his same gamer.
And he's paired that with Bronson Zeri and Jacob Kiraz anytime. Time you guys and your sherry see fucking shit hey, Karaz, that's my, if this is my team and my career, Karaz has scored. He was so keen for a try against Newcastle. Just couldn't get it over the line. He is. I actually, I genuinely think, I genuinely think that the only, the only risky leg here is probably Luttrell. Of course. Yeah. But $14 for that. That's not bad. Two centers in Luttrell. No, a winger. A center in Luttrell. Yeah.
So yeah, Luttrell, Karaz, Jerry, anytime. $14. That's probably, I'd have to go through it all, but I'm pretty sure that's the shortest same game. Multicode is produced for about six weeks. Good book. Beautiful. Let's get to the Friday night game up here at sunny Queensland. I think, I'm sure it'll be Suncorp, a big game like this. It is. When we got the red cloth dolphin. Red cloth. I heard they were wearing blue this week. That'd be interesting. But no, I reckon they were wearing red.
Could be gold. Up against Melbourne Storm, the high flyer, the fucking red-hot Melbourne Storm. Yeah, I cannot not tip Storm. Storm doing well. The line is currently 14.5 points. Yeah, give me that. I know Dolphins have been looking much better the last two weeks, but Storm is flying.
¶ Dolphins vs. Storm Analysis
Jerome Hughes has been named, so he might play. And if they're full strength, I can't see them not winning by a lot again. Yeah. Try a scorer. He's been frothing. He's been close. He's been close. And I didn't pick him last couple of weeks, so I'll pick him this week. Eli Katawa. I'm pretty sure someone out of the three of us have picked him. Yeah, you have to have someone pick him every week. Yeah. Because I picked him last week. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Well, as for myself, I'll start with Cody here. Cody's also gone storm, storm. Yeah. And he's taken, this must be his new one. So you know how he was Broncos, Broncos, Arthurs. He's now Storm Storm Anderson. Yeah. Yeah. So there's a trend happening there with codes. Me, on the other hand, I have a feeling that Jerome Hughes is going to be a late pullout. Yeah, okay. So I'm taking Storm head to head. I still think they'll get the biggies, but Dolphins will cover that 14 and a half.
Bad call if Jerome is named and actually plays a full 80 because they could blow them out of the water. But give me Cam Munster any time. Cam Munster? Yeah, okay. I reckon he's going to... He likes playing up in Queensland, his home state. That's for sure. That's it. That was the whole purpose of that pick. But anyway, Carter. Beautiful. Well, this is my same game multi. And it's always a bit tricky with Melbourne. They're a bit low on all their ends.
You mean odds? Odds, thank you. I know it was a short word. Sometimes I mix that word up. And how they're playing at the moment, Melbourne, it's like you have to go another through big few scores to get up there. So that's what I've done. And I'm feeling the right edge a lot. I'm feeling the right edge of Melbourne Storm this game. I know they went left last week, but I'm feeling the right edge. So I've got Sua Falongo back in, back in on the wing, back in the team.
I think he's going to be chopping to get some tries. So I've got him to score first, second, or third. And I think Ryan Pappenhausen is going to score a try throughout the game. He's been on fire the last couple of weeks. And, you know, we all got him a super coach. And we wanted to keep scoring. And then I was playing around the other ones. And I was like, I could have went somewhere else. But I was like, I want those two guys, Falongo and Pappenhausen, to score three or more.
I was like, I wonder why. What was it looking? Chuck that all together. And I got $20. And I thought I was very happy with those odds for $20. I was like, yes, sir, lock it in. It's not bad. That's what I thought. Like, considering, well, originally when I looked at it, I thought you just had either one to score any time and then those two combined for three. And I was like, 20 bucks for that's not bad. But then I realized that you had far longer for a second or third.
I reckon if that gets up, then obviously Pappy scores. You literally just need one of those two to score another one. Another one. So, yeah. It's actually not bad for me. Yeah. And it was weird. I had Falongo and Papanausen score three and more, just those two legs. And it was like 13.50. And then just to chuck in Papanausen score any time, went up to 20. So I don't know how that works, but. Well, because. I guess it could get up those other ones if just Falongo hits
a hat trick. Yes. But I was like, oh, okay. If he scores first, second, and third. Because, yeah, I was looking at other Melbourne stores and Trumpkin there. I was like, oh, that's, there's only like a lot of tries and another try. But then I was like, oh, I've got busk. I was like, I like that. So, yeah, $20, baby. Nice. Only problem, they could keep going left all night and I could be way off. But you never know. Oh, they could be going left, right, up the middle,
all over the place. They could put on another $50. If it was like Warriors last week. As long as they go right early, that's all that matters. So, that will be big if Jerome Hughes plays. If you guys are late, pull out, they're probably going left, left, left, left. Yes. So, yes. Everything in the box to the left. But I lock that in as my same-game multi.
¶ Easter Saturday Matchups
Beautiful. Let's get to Easter Saturday. Only two games on Easter Saturday because you get an extra juice on Monday. Yes, I thought so. And we start off over the botch. We've got the Denon Kemp Cup. We've got the New Zealand Warriors up against the Brisbane Broncos. Warriors are three to the way outside. Wow. Over at home where they have not lost a game yet, I'm pretty sure. I don't know. Yeah, pretty sure. Yeah, they've won three, all the New Zealanders.
And they did win their last one against the Broncos at Go Media as well. I'm very tempted. But the Broncos played shit last week, and they have not played two shit weeks in a row at the moment with the new Michael Maguire coach team. And they have a lot of New Zealand flavour. They love... I hate this game. Yeah, try betting on it. Yeah, fuck that. I'm going Warriors then. Keep it straight at home. Warriors the win... And I'm going to keep him in my super coach team.
So I'm going Jesse Arthur to score because I need him to score. So even more reason for him to score, me to keep a point. So let me just get this right. You're going Warriors to win. Yeah. Warriors to obviously cover the spread and Jesse Arthur's anytime. Yeah, Jesse Arthur's anytime. Ooh. All right. Well, he's not Cody's man anymore, so I thought it was free game. Well, I guess you're right. But Cody has gone Broncos to win, Warriors to cover eight and a half. Eight and a half.
And he's gone Ben Hunt and he's high. That has looked shit the last couple of games. It's a bold move, Cotton. Because Ben Hunt is probably playing worse than he ever did when he was playing at the Dragons at the moment, in my humble opinion. But there's nothing to say that he doesn't turn around over an NZ. So, good on you, Coates. Well played. Me, on the other hand, I'm so tempted to also take the Warriors with you. But I'm not. I'm going Broncos to win Warriors head-to-head.
And I picked a front rower last week, right, with Moses Liotta. I hit that. Now, there's been a guy for the Broncos that's been looking pretty red hot that isn't named Payne Haas. And I've noticed over the last few weeks, Warriors have actually been very soft around the middle edge, right? In the middle areas, very soft potential. So this is where I'm hitting up my front row. And he's coming off the bench. Xavier Willison anytime.
Can sniff out a try. And I feel like he could get through here against this little bit softer. Because James Fisher-Harris isn't there this week. He's out. That's what actually tipped my scales to the Broncos was Fish is out Chandy's out and, I felt like those factors pointed me back towards the Broncos. And I actually do feel like they lose a fair bit with Rocco Berry also out at right center.
He only played his first game of the season last week, but I think he's a very underrated defensive center, and he's developing his attacking side. So, yeah, give me Willison. Give me Broncos with the head-to-head and Warriors on the line. Broncos support. What are you really talking up the Broncos to make sure they win this game? Yeah, I almost just talked myself into taking Broncos with a line, basically, is what I was doing there.
Anyway, same gamer for this, so I've landed with this one. I have got Jesse Arthurs anytime, because you have to, basically, into Rhys Walsh anytime, heading back to NZ. And Tane Tuapiki is getting the run at fullback, and I like him at fullback. can open up the game. And the Broncos have fallen off defensively from time to time, and I reckon he might get a supporting try coming up through the middle might make a soft little break. So, yeah, Walsh, Tuapiki, Arthurs, anytime, $9. Not bad.
$9 out here. Beautiful. You really, I know you've spun me. I actually just legally proper changed my tip to the Warriors. Legally? Legally. In Tip and Cop. Yeah. But now I'm like, fuck, maybe let's go to the wrong case. Anyway, I think it should be a good game. Ooh. I'm actually thinking about putting 50 bucks on. Xavier will listen. I should have done it with Moses Leota last week at $9.50, but anyway. Let's get- If and butts were candy and nuts. Let's get to Saturday night.
¶ The Battle of the Bottom Teams
Game of the round. We got the clash of the 15th versus 16th team. Three of the two bottom teams. It's nearly a spoon bowl, but it is the Roosters up against the Penrith Panthers. Watch your fucking mouth. Panthers going for six losses in a row. The Roosters going for two wins on the trot and beat the Panthers again. Can they get it done? The first team to get the double win up against the Panthers. Tough game. And I just can't not keep tipping the Panthers to win and win well.
And it's probably going to be wrong, but I'm not doing it because they've got to play good eventually. And maybe if we keep saying it, they'll keep losing it. is going to keep me in line. Wow. Wow. But Panthers, Panthers win well, and the line's going to be smaller now. Three and a half points. Yeah. Wow. And he's got to score, Tom Jenkins. He hasn't scored. Thomas Jenkins. Well, I think I might have just helped you here, Carter, because I haven't picked a Roosters game right since round one.
Going roosters this week. So I've basically just locked in. Panthers are swinging around now, baby. Yeah, I've basically just locked in the fact that Panthers are probably going to beat us 20 plus now. So yeah, give me roosters, roosters and Daniel Tupo anytime so I can at least come away with one point. He does like a try against the old penny panthers. Cody has followed me on this one. He's going roosters, roosters.
He's both jumping off panthers now. Oh, yeah, I like that. I'm feeling good now. It's going to cost me a lot of tips, but I like it. And then he's taken Marky Mark. I'm not going to try and pronounce it because I'm going to butcher that. So Marky Mark anytime. He's also got the same gamer, and he must be really vibing the Chookies. So he's gone Marky Mark anytime in his same game. Paired that with Angus Croydon. And Roosters to win 1-12. 27.75. Holy shit.
I can confirm that is the biggest play this week we've got. It's pretty behaved for us. Yeah, it is. I think we're sort of sick of losing. Yeah. So, yeah. Marky Mark, Croydon, Roosters to win 1-12, 27.75. Beautiful. Let's get to Sunday. Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday. We've got another interesting game here. We've got like... I wouldn't know how to... I don't know. There's definitely an analysis here of these two teams. Like a Titan and a Raider. Are the Raiders just old school Titans?
Or the Titans and the Raiders just very old but different? Raiders is a Viking. Yeah. What's a Titan? Like an army Titan. Yeah. Like a Roman? So we're the Romans versus the Vikings. See, I knew there's some sort of... I think I'm very wrong, but that's what I'm going with. I'm getting a spray about talking shit on a podcast where we talk shit. Well, good on you, mate. You can tell she's a Dargan supporter.
¶ Sunday Showdowns
And she just knows the Dragons beat Titans and Raiders when it comes to combat. Anyway, we're here to talk Rubber League. Couldn't beat a fucking eel, bud. Zap. Let's see if they can beat a little bird this week. Anyway, we've got the Gold Coast Titans at the sunny Gold Coast up against the Canberra Raiders who are being flying. They're just winning and winning well, pumping by 50. And the Gold Coast are doing Gold Coast stuff, looking good, looking shit, looking good, looking shit.
They've looked shit for a bit. They beat Newcastle. They beat the Roosters, and they just look shit. Are you tipping? Well, to be honest, beating the Knights is not a brag. Mate, I don't think this is really much of a question I think you need to be wary of the old After you post 50 points on a team There's a bit of a come down after that But I can't trust the Titans Can we trust the Raiders yet?
I trust them more than the Titans So that's why I'm going Raiders-Raiders The line's one and a half points So no one might like the Raiders only win by one But give me Raiders to cover, And he didn't score last week He was the only Raiders to not fucking score and I had him on everything. So I'm going him again to Marle. Surely. If not, I'm fucking off him. He's out of his super coach team as well if he doesn't score. Fucking done. How do you post 50 and you wing it? Oh, no, I'm still salty.
You don't know how they're scoring tries. Left, right, center. Hutter Young's good and that's it. Yeah, until he puts on a fucking sky blue jersey. Useless bastard. Cody's obviously, well, he's obviously predicted the score of this game. He's taking Titans to win, but Raiders to cover the line. So he's taking the Titans to win by one. Does he look at the lines? No, he doesn't. So, if the Raiders, if the Titans win by one, he's absolutely fucking nailed that.
And he's taken old Tino, big old Tino to score for three points. That's his three-pointer for this week so far. What about you, Carter? I'm going the Raiders to win. They're just playing so much better football and they're looking good. But I just, I've got a bad feeling they're going to lose this game. Gold Crows, Sunday afternoon, the Gold Crows. These are the games they seem to get up. They got up against Newcastle, that's for sure. But no, I'm flipping the Raiders.
The Raiders cover the line went well. And I've got David Fafita to score any time, though. Just a little cheeky stat here for you. So the Titans actually haven't beaten the Raiders at Seabus. Ever. Since round one 2018. That's a long time ago. It is.
Since then they've played one game there they lost 21-0, another game 36-16 36-24 so they've only played three games since that at CBUS but all three to the Raiders, yeah well I'm going Raiders Raiders the win well and David Fafida the score and that sort of goes in with my same game multi which I'm going Raiders to win because I think the Raiders are going to win but I'm just I'm not convinced that any of the Raiders' try-scorers are actually going to score.
But with Gold Coast, hey, they're easy to pick. But I'm going, Raiders to win, Phillip Sambi to score, and Jayden Campbell to score, baby. Lock it in. Gold Coast are easy to pick for try-scorers, are they? No. But I like them. I like their try-scorers. And they love attacking football. Yeah. Got, and that's giving me a nice $16, which I don't mind. Kyle hates these bets when you go off one team, but you pick two try scores from the other team. He's like, it's just stupid.
And we'd love to do it to him. He's like, you guys, fuck it. Look, as I said, when you did it last week and you took the Cowboys minor seven and a half, paired that with Latrell and Alex Johnson, I was like, somehow this will be something that you win. You didn't. You only got one leg out of it, but you know. On to the next. So what did you have? Sorry, Raiders to win. Campbell anytime. Sami anytime? Yes. Nice. How much was that, Pan? $16. $16, I'm pretty sure. Nice. Beautiful.
Let's get to the other Sunday clash. And it's probably going to be the shitiest game of the week, guys, so don't even worry about watching it. No trying the anti-tactics here. This is so different for you. Probably won't be many points in this game. It's probably going to be disgusting, so, you know, whatever.
¶ Knights vs. Sharks Discussion
But we have the Newcastle Knights. Are you finally tipping against them? No. Get fucked. We've got the mighty Newcastle Knights up against the Cronulla Sharks. Knights ready to bounce back, baby. We've had some shockers. The fucking whole team's under the rubbles. The coach is going to get sacked again. We've got no halfback. We've got no 5-8. We never did, but we're going to win this game, and we're going to win it well.
Newcastle, baby. Come on. It's almost like you just flicked a switch there. You were very... I guess he scored a try. Fucking Caelan. Nah, nah. Get fucked. I'm not picking that guy. I'm not that convinced.
Who's scoring then Brandon Best because they're actually going to give him the ball more than twice in the attacking zone they're going to give it to him like seven or eight times and he's going to at least crash over and not pass it fuck because we've got to do that to score tries don't get me started Tyson Gamble's back mate can be a halfback he's not a halfback fuck I saw like when I was going through the team list I was like Fletcher Sharp Tyson Gamble's like okay I was
like oh yes yes they've dropped Fetus Cross and he's fucking out and he's still starting I know Fuck. Yeah, he tripped on, mate, two weeks ago. Yesterday, last week, he just looked shit. Got fucking leveled. That was a big fucking hit, too. At least he's playing hooker where he gets forced to pass the ball. Most of the time, anyway. So, Cody's just rolling it back again here for the Sharks game. Sharks, Sharks, Nakora. So, he's obviously just, fuck you, Carter. Sharks are going to pump you.
Covering the eight and a half line. Now, I'd be lying if that wasn't my original thought here. You should do it, mate. You're going to regret not doing it. Look, for me, as much as I rag on the Knights, just mainly because they're your team, really, Jake, but a team that's only scored 46 points, well, let's just go 10 points in the last four weeks of footing, right? The seal has to break at some point. And the Sharks are not convincing on the road. Okay?
So, first of all, I'm taking the Knights of the line. Give me the eight and a half start. Because their defense is not bad. The defense keeps it in games. If their attack clicks, they win this game. It doesn't have to click it. It's just got to, like, touch. A little bit. Right, just to touch. Yeah. Okay. Well, to click, you've got to touch first. So, therefore, I thought it was all right. But this might surprise you, but I'm taking the Knights head to head
as well. I reckon there's an upset brewing. If they don't win this game, right, a Sunday afternoon on Easter in Newcastle. We had a Sunday in Newcastle last week too, mate. Yeah, but how often do they lose back-to-back Sunday afternoons in Newcastle? Not very fucking many. So give me the nights, give me the nights, and I'm going one outside you. I'm taking Greg Marjou anytime. Yes, go left all day, please. And just to back that up, I was about to say, I did miss that one.
I was going to say that the Knights have actually won like the last four or five at McDonald Jones Stadium against the Sharkies, but actually, I'd lie. They won the last one, but lost the one before that, and then won multiple before that. Either way, I've got the same game here. Newcastle race of 30. Let's go.
Look, no, respectfully. give me so I'm keeping Marju he's definitely due a try because he's not scored for the last fucking four or five weeks and for super coach reasons I also really needed him to score be very helpful but, I obviously did this bet before I made my choice on what's happened, what I'm doing, because I've done old Cody here. I've taken Marju anytime, but then I'm taking Ramian and Moolatalo anytime for the Sharkies.
Marju, Ramian, Moolatalo, $13.50. Into Knight's win. That'll be paying a lot. Yeah. You've done a Cody. I've done a Cody. Beautiful. I'm going to be amped up for that game. I love it. It's going to be the third Sunday in a row. I'm so keen for rugby league. And be like, make my weekend. Have you got cricket on? The umpire? Oh, we're done, mate. It's Easter weekend.
I don't fucking know. They don't do stuff on Easter weekend because it's a four-day weekend and people do stuff usually with their families. Yeah, but I know they've played it on Mother's Day before. Yeah, that's just enormous. But never on a long weekend. Oh, yeah, because all the cricket boys are very religious. It's not about that. as people want to do shit. Fuck off. I'll go camping. I've got to go cricket for like five weeks, mate. I had grand finals last week.
So then there's LMS for like five weeks. Oh. So the winter season starts. I'm going to get, I think, two weeks off indoor. Winter is coming. Winter is coming. Last game. Like we said, it is Easter. So we've got an Easter Monday clash. It's always interesting time. Four o'clock on a Monday. But they have started making it a bit of a rivalry here. We've got the Western clash. The West Tigers up against the Parramatta Eels.
And what a week of news and headlines from the West Tigers. They just love a good headline. With Lockie Galvin saying, get fucked, I'm out. And then West Tigers, well, then you're out of our team list. Fucking dropped. I don't know how. It's either going to galvanize this team or it's going to make them play shit. Get it? Galvanize. That's good. I actually thought you'd do that deliberately. I didn't realize it, but I mean it.
I feel like it could galvanize the Tigers and play better. It seems like this is a team choice, but if they look shit and not play well, and they're sitting in one of their best players, it's going to be very interesting. Well, the report was that the playing group came to Benji and said, we don't want to play with him. Yeah, because he doesn't want to play for the Tigers.
¶ Easter Monday Rivalry
Yeah. So they'd rather start looking to the future. Well, and I don't mind Dewey at the seven, or putting Luar at the seven and Dewey at the six. I don't mind that. Like, Luai will be the seven, obviously, but it's basically handing him the keys. And we saw last year, while Cleary was out at Penrith, Luai did good things when he had the keys to the car. You know, so it was still kind of Galwin's team to start. Like,
Luai was getting them around the park, but Galwin was taking that first. He was the main impact. So it's going to be interesting to see what Luai does. But then probably the biggest news is actually the Eels, and they welcome back their captain, the state of origin halfback, the Australian halfback, Mitchell Moses, back into their team, who they've been waiting and needing to do halfback. So they're looking a bit more like a rugby league team on paper now.
Jack Williams is also back. That's good. Could have got told that. I wouldn't have traded him out last week probably, but oh well. And Kelma Tualangi, who's also in. Their second row, they keep changing like fucking hotcakes. They've got no idea what they want to do. But anyway, so it's going to be very interesting. So I don't know. Look, I'll... I don't know. We'll start off with... I'll start off here. Tigers, Tigers, mate.
Luai's going to run them around. I know they're missing Galwin. Moses is back, but... I just... You can't trust the Eels. Simple as that. Give me the Tigers, basically. And I was actually kind of surprised the line was one and a half points, to be honest. And I think Jerome Lewis is going to step up and also cross the stripe here for him. Just his patented left foot, left foot, left foot, left foot, left foot score.
I'll go. And I think, watching the Tigers 2 last week, they look like a good, they look like a team at the moment. All their backs are doing good things. Bull is looking like a fucking gun. And their forwards, Terrell May, Polak, they've just got a good thing going on at the forwards. So I think they're just going to dominate their Eels forwards too much. And, yeah. But Moses and Dylan Brown back together. Oh, no. I'm going Tigers. Tigers will win.
Eels, they're going for the Wooderspoon this year. They're having a rest this year. So let's go Tigers. And I'm going Stafford Toa to score. He's looking red hot on the right there. I'm actually proper pissed that, in coach. I looked at him a while back before his price rise went up. It was a bit of a mystery because he didn't play the first round, so people just didn't even look at him. And then he was straight back in round two or whatever after injury and he's been killing it.
Now, Cody must be feeling something a little different because he's gone eels eels. He's a big Galvin man, I reckon, so he's sort of like... I think it's the mixture of losing Galvin, the whole situation going on with that as a distraction. I'd love to get his take on what he thinks about it because, you know... Oh, no, Cody, what's your take on that, bud? Do you think Galva should not play, even though he doesn't want to be there?
He's one of their best players. What do you reckon, Cody? Me, me, me, me, me, me. Yeah, good take from you, like usual. Oh, that was good. It'll be good, because then we can actually know if Cody actually did listen to Pottie, because he has to listen pretty far in to get that little fucking take. Little Easter egg. Get it? Oh, yes, Easter buddy.
And he's obviously just vibing the whole Mitchell Moses being back in the team thing Because he's taking Moses any time On his cock Yeah So he's obviously riding it big time Getting in nice and deep luck, So he's also got this game Cody's got this game He has included Mitchell Moses in his same game multi, So near to River any time And then he's got the new inclusion from the Tigers, is Brent and Aidan to combine with Bailey Simonson to combine for two or more tries. Jeez.
So he feels like there could be a few tries on offer here. I think there will be two. Easter Monday. And I feel like that's a red-hot shout all pending on Moses. I think Moses would be, if there's a leg that lets him down here, it might be Moses. I guess close to $20, I like that too. $23.50, mate. Yeah, I do like that, man. Moses loves a try. He does, and it's Easter, so. He loves coming back. He loves football. So, yeah, get around it.
¶ Wrap-Up and Final Thoughts
So, yeah, Nadin and Simon, if you combine for two or more, Taru anytime, Moses anytime. $23.50. Nice. Hopefully we get some chocolates this Easter. Yes, please. It's been a long time between drinks. Let's get some multi-chocolates as well. Let's get some crucial chocolates. Let's get some big bark chocolates. They'll be red hot. Are we starting with a big box of favourites? Yeah, we'll go with a big box of favourites. Yeah. Nah, favourites aren't that over. Nah, favourites. They're good.
You know what you're getting. You're getting a good box of favourites. Definitely Turkish-alite number one. What's your number one in a favourite box there, Big Kyle? Hmm. All of them? Nah. Actually, I have to admit, it's probably not a normal go-to for most people, but the Old Gold. Is that in that one? Yeah. They're in the good old favorites. Yeah. Just the Old Gold and a dark chocolate. Yeah, I fucking love it, eh? Oi, there is sometimes a limited edition dark favorites box. That's a red hot.
We've never seen that. Yeah. You get Old Gold, you get Old Gold Dark, you get Dark Cherry Ripe, you get, oh, it's good, I love a Dark Cherry Ripe. Oh, actually, Cherry Ripe's right there. Cherry Ripe. Like you said, Old Gold, now you're going Cherry Ripe. Yeah, but it also, we want one favorite. As I said, they're all favourites. It just depends on my mood. I'm defending what I... Depending on what I... Like, right now. Most overrated favourite?
Twirl. You're fucking cooked. A twirl is just a flake wrapped in chocolate. Overrated. It's great. Overrated. You're fucking... You know what is overrated? Boost. Boost is the most overrated one. It's fucking... It's not that great. I like Boost because they came out when we were young. Like, we can relate with that chocolate. They're good old ads. They're active. Boost. Yeah. We can relate. Like the Vikings. Remember. That's what I mean. I'll get around, Bruce. Oh, I like their ads.
Chocolate's shit. Well, it's not shit. It's just overrated. Anyway, let's get the big bark. We'll start off well. Kyle, you've been pumping them out. What are you going on this week with the big bark? Mate, I feel like this is fucking solid value. As I said with the Knights, I feel like it's about to blow. It's about to blow. Sharky's absolute pretenders on the road. It's going to go left. Oh, my God. You know it. They have to. That's where it is. They're going there.
So give me Marju first, second, or third for $4.20. Shit. Sorry. That was juicy. Oh, I'm going. I'm going to Ipswich 4-3, Gold Coast Titans, Phillip Sami. I'm just feeling him scoring this weekend, but I'm going a bit bigger. And I got a bit better from the first one, two, three last week. So I'm just going first half. Boost. Boost. Phillip Saban is scoring the first half. Right. Now, on to Big Cody. So it's a triple dipper. He's triple dipped.
And it actually. Oh, that's so Mitchell Moses. So our big bark this week, kind of like our crucial the other week. It's the final three games. So you're taking the Titans the third last game. I'm on the ninth, second last. And then he is in the Eels game, the final game of the weekend. It's a long wait to get the big box of favorites. Yeah. So basically, if we're two legs up, we're going to have a lot of money riding on Mitchell Moses. New South Wales halfback.
I like that. Yeah. At $4.10 any time. So total odds. Where do you reckon that's landing us, mate? We've got a $4.50, we've got a $4.20. $4.20, eh? We've got about $38. Yeah, mate. Try $57.68. Oh, I was going to say $58. I just looked at it then. I could have went Philip Summy, one, two, or three. It was an extra dollar, so that would have got even higher. But no, that burnt us last week, so I'm just going first half. You just need to know when to take it, mate. You know Purdue,
if you had to take it in first half, didn't count either. I know. Oh, fuck. Is that actually a second half? No, there's actually no... I think they might have added it. I haven't had a look. But there's been a couple of times where I've wanted to take a play a second half, but I haven't seen it. It was. It was exactly the same odds, though. Oh, really? Yeah. That's annoying. Anyway, how about we get Crucial with a little bag of Lint chocolates?
Lint? Yeah. Do you not like them? If we go to Easter, my Crucial chocolate... Cream? Cream egg, baby. Cream egg, yeah. Give me a cream egg if we go on Crucial. The Crucial cream egg. I'm not all about Easter chocolate but if I just want a little bit a couple of cream eggs and I'm crucially happy I prefer pies I guess it's Easter.
Don't have too many but I have a few meat pies but let's get crucial, and I'll have I've got to go to the store I'm just going I'm going to lock it in again just go nice and simple and I'm banking him to score and I think it's a sure thing and that is, sua falonga to score any time, So, Carter, you said earlier in the show that if you had the Bulldogs game, your crucial would be Jacob Kiraz. Yeah. Yeah. Well, obviously, at some point today, you and Cody were on the same wavelength. Yeah.
So, he's taken Jacob Kiraz any time as his crucial. For me, I'm having a lot of trouble this year, as my record shows. I'm 2-4 with a void. So, 2-4-1, basically. No, no, no. So, two and five. Yeah, essentially two and five. That sounds much shitter, and that is what it is. Yeah. I actually haven't hit anything since round two. Oh, that makes it even worse. Yeah, I'm on a fucking absolute dry spell, and I'm really struggling.
So, I'm not touching the Night Sharks game, because both teams can play a bit of defense, right? The other game I had, Seagulls, Dragons, fucking no idea what you're going to get out of that. We know where you should go. I'm going Walsh anytime. Oh, I was going to say Arthurs, but okay. Go Walsh. Arthurs was too short for me. And we were going real short, so I like Walsh. Walsh at $1.95.
As I said, the Warriors are soft in the middle, so I can see some breaks coming through Walsh on the support play. That's what I'm seeing. That's what I envisioned, and that's why I'm taking him. I'm fucking backing him in. Back in New Zealand. So we've got Sua Falongo, Jacob Kiraz, and Rhys Walsh. Now, this is probably the first time in Muttley history where... Every single leg has not hit two. Nothing's over two bucks. I don't like it. Probably like paid eight bucks and I hate it.
But this is officially our shortest one of the season and quite possibly. History. History. $6.38. I hate it. But I'm loving it because I honestly feel like. It's 30 bucks without we do the big muttly crucial. That's still 180 bucks. 191.50. Yeah. So. We'll take that right now. Fucking oath. So yeah. Super far long ago, Jacob Kieras. Like I said, it's crucial. I'll take a little cream egg whenever. I'll take $190 egg. So give me a little bit of cream egg, baby.
I'll give you a little bit of cream egg, baby. So there it is, boys. That is round seven. Easter weekend. Bets and tips and slips. Bets are out. Feeling good. Get around it. And remember, gamble responsibly, punters. So, big Kyle. Yes. What have you done, Supercatch? You locked him in? What have you done? I've gone heavy. I'm going hard again. I'm using my boost. I'm boosted. I'm using my third boost because I want to bring some big dogs in. I'll get sick of this shit.
And I could very regret this, but I feel like I'm at that point where I need to go a bit different than other people. And I'm bringing in David Feeder. I'm bringing in David Feeder, Harry Grant. I've currently only made... There's only one trade I've confirmed, and that is Zayatars to Haradi. Yeah. Makes sense.
Currently my second trade is Nafu so Nafu White's out of my team I just don't know who I'm bringing in you got up or down, down I need to get money oh you got Egan I already got Egan oh okay because I went sideways on him for a Miles Martin last week I don't know if there's anyone good there in the forwards well I went Matty Nicholson at the moment, yeah but I'm not liking it because fucking Hosking's back on the band I'm fully hooked in there yeah,
I think you're going to regret that bro you're going to trade him out like next week Yeah. I'm not set on that. That's what it is currently. That's Toby Couchman, but I don't think he's much cheaper than Anthony White. No, he's actually Deera. Oh, he's Deera already, yeah. Yeah, he's $5.88. I was actually, I'm really annoyed because I had Toby Couchman on my wash list early and then I just went away from him for whatever reason. And yeah, so. Maybe don't go down, go down, fire up.
Yeah, but I'm needing the money. So I haven't. You need the money. You go on the other one to make money. Well, I want, I'm going to swap Clifford to Cleary next week, but that makes no sense because Cleary's got a short break even because then I was also looking to go from Clifford to Hughes. And you've got Thomas Kant, don't you? I do have Kant. So my bench second row is a Kant, Hubner, and Egan. All the good ones.
I've currently, as it stands, I've got Payne Haas, Tyrell May in my front row and then Lindsay Smith and Paddy Carrigan in my backup front rowers. And then my starting second row is Ola Kowatu, Tino, and then Nicholson. Kikau if Kikau's in. I think go to Kikau anyway if you can afford him. You don't need Nichols this week. Nichols, he's going to be in trade out in one week, two weeks. Just go Kikau, mate. Especially if you like Kikau as a play.
If not, then just go someone really cheap and just, yeah. Because the only other way I'd go is Toby Couch, but then I'm spending some money there. Only like 30, 40K, but still. The only other thing I was thinking was Nafu, I'll use my boost, my last boost, and go Nafu White to Kikau, and then go Paddy Carrigan to Toby Couchman. That sounds like a weird boost. Yeah, I don't like it either, so I'm probably not going to use my boost. I've just got to figure out what I'm doing with Nafu White.
But yeah, I wasn't even looking at Heroddy, but then I looked at him a bit today, I'm like, he's looking good. Sounds like Iroh might be out for a bit longer than they first thought. Well, even Silly's out for another two weeks, Iroh. So you'd get a little bit of a price rise on Hiradi. Yeah. And I just had too many center wings at about peak, so I'm like, I actually need to get rid of one of them.
So I looked at break-evens, and actually Shibaki's break-even was an extra 20 than Arthur's this week. So I got rid of Shiba this week for Hiradi. And then I've gone, yeah, Harry, Grandin, Mahooka, gone out of Redwoods. What a fucking waste that was. And then I'm bringing in Dave Fafia at 680. If he starts playing like he does, 120 last week, you're not going to get him any cheaper. Have we had confirmation on Tuapilotto? He's definitely out.
Oh, no, he's definitely out. I haven't heard out in how long. I'm definitely holding him this week, and we'll see if there's any more info next week. Because at the end of the day, I could probably go Tuapilotto to Nathan Cleary. Yeah. How can you swing him there and swing him there? Huh? How can you swing second, wing center to your halfback, though? Drop Dewey from a 5-8 down. Oh, he's got Dewey down. And then Metcalf from a halfback to 5-8.
And I think next week, no matter what, it's going to be probably Arthur's out or Marzu, if Marzu doesn't score a try, down to Billy Smith and then someone up for Karaz. Would you use your boost to get rid of Tor Palladu for Cleary? No. I feel like the only time you should use a boost if you're trading out someone not great, good, for a gun, and you just do a Tupiloto who I reckon could be a keeper for another keeper. And Tupiloto's not going to lose you any money, so you don't need to get rid
of him. You can just wait. Yeah, especially when it's your last boost. If you still have three boosts like me, I was like, maybe, but you've only got one left. Yeah, I think I'm going to need it next week because I think Goyongi and Tamale are going to be out of my team next week and they also need to get rid of Clifford. So I feel like he's at the bye next week, actually. But I'm missing out on Egan, so that's a bit sad, but I'm going to have to miss
out on him. I'm hoping fucking... Can't get him in this week. Shane Flanagan does the old switcheroo again this week. Yeah. He's been named on the bench, but when he comes on, he's fucking rips and tears. He's good, man. I wanted him in my team, but I just didn't get him last week and then he's too much now. You know what I'm going to do? I could go like... I'm going to go Nafu White, Aaron Clark. Aaron Clark. He's looking all right.
But yeah. And I think... And it's my fourth reserve. I'm still tossing up. Out of Tom Starling, Sandlin Smith, Thomas Cairn, Heroddy. I think I'm going to Tom Starling. Because they've got the Titans. He might score again. But yeah. I like my team a bit much this week. I think the boost is worth it. And the next week, Karazin. I don't want him so bad. he's going to go up. That's going to be whoever, who do I drop out at? Marzu or Arthurs.
So one of them. I want to keep Marzu, of course, but fuck, he's killing me. Who have you got in your matchups this week, bud? Who do I have? Oh, in the classic, I'm versing old, uh, no show Cody up here. Oh, this should be a good matchup. He's both going well. Third verse fourth. A little bit of a fucking red odd here. Look out. I'm versing Rez, who I don't actually know who it is, to be honest. I'm sure I do know who they are, but I don't know who it is.
You've versed in old Shags in the draft, eh? Yes, I've versed in there, but I'm feeling good because Oh, and I've got... I had a look at this, actually. He's got a lot of... He's got no half-back or no five-eighths this week. Oh, that's rough. Because he's got deer and he's got cowboys. I've got a... I'm versing the undefeated Butters. So, first-first-third in the draft. And then, who's old Cody got? And I got my waiver. I got Tommy Hadleton in as my waiver. So he's in my team this week.
Ooh. And all my Bulldogs are back on. So I'm looking red hot this week. Cody's got the winless, happiest doggies. Doesn't want to be that bloke. He doesn't want to be Kyle Kuzma. He said on Monday he's going to be that bloke. So, yeah, good matchups this week. Get around it. Get around the Easter. Get some chocolates in you and get some football on you. And we'll catch you later. Cut the stream. Fuck yeah. Hog's breath. Thank you.
