NRL State of Origin: Game 1 Preview

Hello. Greetings. Greetings, fellow peasants. Nanu nanu. Greeting, Muttleys and Muttley crews. And here we are to speak Origin football. And we are a couple of days out from the biggest game of the year so far. It is New South Wales versus Queensland in Origin. Imagine that. and we are here to preview round one, game one, at Sydney Accor Stadium. Yes. Wednesday night, 8 o'clock. And, lads, it seems like it's going to be a very, very wet and wild game by the weather forecast.

So that's going to make it fun. Oh, fuck. Tedesco can't stay on his feet as it is, let alone in wet weather. Oh, early mention, but that's where we're going to start this podcast. And what a bombshell over the weekend. Dylan Edwards pulled out from New South Wales, unfortunately, with an injury. I feel sorry for him. But not bad replacement when our ex-Blues captain, Teddy, comes in to fall back. How do we feel about this, guys? From a super coins... Super coins... Super coins... Super coins...

Not just a normal coich.

From a super coich. Fuck. He started again. He's rattled. That wasn't even a play. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, from super coach for last week. Fucked. But captain went. I captain my captain. But anyway, as for this state of origin game, like Dylan Edwards is the better fullback at the moment. But honestly, to have Tedesco as the backup is pretty fucking red hot. Bloody oath. I feel safe about it. I think if anyone else came in last minute, you'd be like, oh,

my gosh. Oh, fuck. Ouch, ouch. But I feel safe about this happening. I feel like Teddy's going to come and do his job. Do you guys have any thoughts about all the people blowing up about New South Wales shouldn't be able to do it? No, I think that blow-up is fair. No way. It's so stupid. I was looking at it. And, I mean, it is one of those ones where it is out of the way and it was probably early enough. Maybe, you know, if it's Tuesday, Wednesday, that might be a bit late.

But I feel like on a Saturday, Sunday, it's probably okay because it definitely wasn't. It's not like they had to have injury cover there because he got injured at training. They're only allowed to name 20 players and halfback, fullback, hookers. See, they named 20, but I'm pretty sure they have more than that coming to the camp because they give the youngsters as to some experience and stuff. I don't see a problem.

It's New South Wales versus Queensland. Pick your best players that you're about. If someone's out, pick your next best player. It shouldn't really matter. If it's like the Tuesday or the Wednesday, I think, then it's like, okay, it's a bit late.

I think it gets to the point where it's like if the players come in under an injury cloud, like if Dylan Edwards had come in with a possible injury. That could drop, take him out of the game, then no, he doesn't get a replacement. Like you should have selected Tedesco as a replacement when you named the squad because you were picking him under the knowledge that he was coming in with an injury. See, I just really wish that Maguire had backed himself because he had cover on the bench.

He's been talking about it and talking about it. He's got cover on the bench in Hudson Young. Yeah, so put Sawali. And to not even use Hudson Young in that situation is ridiculous. Yeah, no, they should have definitely put Salah Ali to fullback. Yeah, that's bullshit. And Hudson Young into the centre. He needs to stay within the squad. He picked 20 blokes for a reason. This is bullshit. Actually, there's got to be an investigation into this.

Somebody's got to be accountable. Coming from a Queenslander when they chose Alfie Langer from the Super League to come back and play. Hey, we chose Michael Jennings. You've just got to pick a football player. We picked Michael Jennings from New South Wales Cup, brother. Exactly. That's why I don't think there's any problems with it. You pick your best players available. No, but they weren't last minute ones.

No. No. See, and then what about your boys' thoughts? Because Bulldogs are blowing up about not being able to access Matty Bird. No, 18th Man is fair. They're a HIA player these days. No, but to be honest, I honestly think all 20 blokes that are named or in that squad shouldn't be available for the team. Another thing that I've seen too good is, like, Mitch Barnett on the bye. Just pick people that are on the bye that it's not going to affect.

Or just put fucking Matt Burton in your 17 like you should have in the first place and then there's no complaints.

The Bulldogs are just dirty because it's three years in a row now or three times in a row yeah and Hines I think you're right Kyle because I think it was even last year when New South Wales released our 20th player to go play the hooker or something and then he ended up getting injured and then he couldn't play when we needed him let's see like Mitch Barnett the worst thing is all three of them are there well Matt Burton, but Keery was technically,

injury cover injury cover for Hines and Barnett was injury cover for Liam Martin, so like Like if out of all of them, you'd think Carey would be the one that wouldn't be allowed to play. Yeah. And Burton would. I honestly feel that because they've got to name a 20-man squad or 21-man squad or whatever it is, the players that get named are not playing the next week.

That way it's all fair because then you don't have the teams like the Bulldogs going, oh, well, because Burton was named 18th man, if he was named 19th man, we could get him back. It's just those are players that are named. Those are players that you can't name them in your team list for the following week.

Because the only thing is like the 18th man these days they suit up and they sit on the bench because at any point during the game they can be activated yeah yeah like that's i can i can understand from both you know standpoints because the 18th man needs to be there needs to be ready to go that that but that's what i'm saying if you have all 20 blokes they can't they they can't play the next week there's no

excuses there's no they said what was it they played the bulldogs played on what thursday night. Was it Thursday night or – no, Friday night. Friday night, yeah. Friday to fucking Wednesday. Teams play on a Sunday, back up on the Thursday or the Friday. Yeah, but if Matty Burton plays for the Bulldogs and gets injured – Yeah, I know. I understand. They wouldn't have picked him anyway. I see what the thing is, but like – Shit. Like I can understand the Bulldogs

being frustrated that like Luke Keery is named in the New South Wales squad. Let the boys play. And then he can go back and play for the Roosters. Not that he did much, but – Kyle, you're salty because, you know, if Luke Keery wasn't able to play, Sander Smith would have played and News would have fucking probably pumped him. Yeah, I know.

That's why I was like, fuck yeah, when he got named, I didn't think that any of them could get named in their team list because that's how I thought it worked. But anyway, enough of that. Next question, boys.

Rolling into Wednesday. Do we believe or do we think there's going to be any late changes to the teams? Matt Burnham's going to come in, right? Surely. Has to. Has to. Nah, I think after all this Maguire chat about having fucking cover on the bench, I reckon he's going to back himself with Hudson Young. Surely. Otherwise, why would he back it so much? Unless this is like they have full cover of the board.

When they come out and say that, they've got the full backing of the board and they get sacked two days later. Maybe that's what he's doing. It could just be play. It could just be a ploy. I think Burton has to come in, especially if Hines is only 95%, 90%. But okay, let's go with the theory that Burton does come into the team. Who are you dropping? Hudson Young? Hudson Young, yeah. Yep, or Oluwatu. Nah, Spencer Lanier. Yeah, the only size on the bench. And he's not even fucking size.

Did you see him in their team photo? He looks so small.

Isaiah Yeo's probably bigger than him. Oh, Isaiah Yeo's massive, bro. Yeah, he's huge. You think Cobbo's going to stay on the bench? You think Queensland are going to stay? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, but he's been practising front row hit-ups, brother. Yeah, he's been off the back fence, bro. And you think Yeo's going to start on the bench for New South Wales?

Yeah. Or do you think they're going to change it up? No, actually, I do really rate McInnes starting with Yeo off the bench because McInnes can take the sting out of the game. I don't know how they're going to manage the minutes through the middle. You all right there, boss? Yeah, sorry, mate. One rare moment, my phone's on loud. Yeah, it was weird. I was like, what the fuck is that? For some reason, I still get AFL notifications. No idea why. No? That must be for James. Yeah.

So I can let him know who's in and out for his super coach. Shout out James, the best super coach player for the AFL in history. Well, in Ipswich anyway. But yeah, McInnes can take this thing out of the game, and he's just going to, you know, he's going to fucking just rip in. He's not going to care about what he looks like after the game.

And then you can sub Yo on after 25 minutes or 30 minutes and he can do that little bit of ball play and run hard if he needs to and just manage the game from the middle. The only one that I could see maybe possibly between the two teams would be Ben Hunt and Harry Grant, but I think they're going to stick solid with the old fella starting. Yeah. I think maybe if it is true about all this weather and the wet weather, that might make New South Wales stay with a four-forward bench.

Maybe he jumped on and checked out the weather app Fucking two weeks in advance No but If it's wet I feel like That's more opportunity For a back to be injured, They ain't gonna be doing Fuck all It's just gonna be the forwards Slugging it out up the guts Yeah Kyle I don't know where you're going With that one But okay Slipping over Copping an HIA I tell you what I wouldn't mind Seeing a little bit of Slug up the guts, I feel like yous Are gonna be a bit shorter If it's gonna be a lot of Slug up

the guts Yeah but we got that dog We got Ruben Kyle, Fucking biting ankles The whole game Big Lindsay doesn't back down, I can't wait to see avocado seed man I can't wait to see fucking Big Lindsey just to see what he pulls off because he does it once a game he does something you just go he shouldn't be doing that especially in Origin you're not that good for the Roosters why are you losing for Queensland, clearly he is he just loves it oh holy.

Beautiful, boys. Let's get to some hot topics, matchups, anything that you want to mention. For me, I know it's a big thing every year, but it's another thing that's going to be so important and I just see Queensland just being so dominant and favourites on it and that's just the kicking game of our halves. I think DCE is by far the best kicker in this game and he's shown it. What about by far? By far? By far.

No, by furtherest. By farthest By like a gap By like a gap He's the best kicker in this game And he's shown it How big's the gap? Pretty big Maybe like 500 metres.

But yeah unfortunately He's just kicked us Out of games the last Two years And I just can't Nico Hines man He's got to Show me something With his kicking game That's going to Get close to DC And you know what the best thing About that is too And also Then probably the second best kicker I was just looking at it It's Ben Hunt That's what I was going to say I'd say we've got a halfback in hooker. Adds a lot to his kicking game too. Yeah, so I'm scared. And yet the one with

the biggest boot for the Blues is 18th man. Yeah. That who can, if we're struggling to come out of our own end, can kick us out of trouble. I'll tell you what though, if they're a ball short on the field and they need to get one to a mace up, like a Matty Burton will kick that thing on there no quick. I don't want to see it, but it wouldn't surprise me if we see fucking Stephen Cryden and Lomax kicking sometimes for us because I feel like they can kick it longer than our halves.

So this is getting me really worried, especially if this weather's going to be coming. The fact that you even just said that. Hey, that's what I'm saying, man. That's what I'm looking at. Yeah, Lomax, just come in and give us a boot down town, brother. Oh, he can hit a two-point field goal. He'll be there. Oh, so he's going to drop kick from his own 20. You want to surprise me? That's actually a good shout. Just get into our half and just two-point field goals all game.

It's getting me nervous, especially if this weather is bad, as I was saying. You know how important and how much of a game changer those early kicks can be, Which Queensland always seemed to nail It was Cameron Smith And it was Ben Hunt And it was DC It's fucking disgusting And with a few Roosters players in there Eh?

Fucking Queensland loses a player to the bin At least we know he's only going to take the two, Oh the big fella, Just kick, kick, kick So yeah the kicker game for me And I just I hope someone You already missed the two teeth You want to miss more? Oh it's three brother Come on now If you're going to work it out, work it out. I don't know. I only just see two. Speaking of kicking goals, who's the goal kicker for the Blues? Lomax. Crichton. Thanks, bud. A little bit of light on the situation.

What about Nico Hines? They probably won't risk him with his calf. I think Lomax is just a better kicker. I think he hits it truer, sweeter. I think he gets him in the game, which I think... Matty Burton. Joseph Sawali? No. I'm thinking Lomax. Swalit, he can kick. He's probably one of the higher percentages this season. And Crichton's probably got more on the books. Would you give it to a rookie in the pressure situation in front of 80,000 to win the game?

Yes. I just think he's the best kicker. Yeah, but you also don't get Rugby League. I think. You reckon he kicks better than Hines? Yeah. I think he hits it truer and sweeter. Truer. Kicks it truer. Yeah, so when he misses, it's true. Yeah, when it misses, it misses by a lot. I think it'll just get him in the game a bit more too, which will be good for his confidence and that. But I don't know. Yeah, if it's going to be Nick Osteen, maybe he does goal kick too, like be the big dog and all that.

Cody, sorry to cut you off there. You were just rattling on, though. He's just saying words to fill air. Game one this year, Tabouai Fido has been named at centre. How are you feeling? I'm good, mate. I'm confident now. A little bit different to last year? Mate, once I was a bit unsure, but then when the super coach Wayne Bennett started naming him there, I thought, yeah, you know, he must be a centre. Old fucking Benno knows.

The thing I want to bring We touched on it a little bit earlier I think the game You know The starting sides Are what they are You know what I mean They're on there They're going They're guaranteed to start Ripping in Tearing There's no Absolutely zero chance Of a late change Between the bench to the No Okay, Zero now I've changed my mind No one's swapping No one's swapping Unless Hudson Young Goes to fullback,

But that's the only thing I can think of. But it's definitely going to come down to the benches and how they're used. And, you know, like these guys have gone the bigger bench, although you do have like mobile players like Lenu and Young, a bit of mobility in it as well. Otokumanu. Not Otokumanu. Olokowatu. That other one. I was like, fuck, where's his name? Yeah, I was reading it too. I don't know. And then I was like, why is there a T at the start?

Yeah, Olokowatu. He knows slouch himself, but it's really going to come down to how the bench is used, I feel, because you do have those big bodies. So when Harry Grant comes on, a bit of deception around the ruck, Hopgood, a bit smaller, Selwyn Cobbo, that'll be the surprise on where he actually plays and what he does.

But I feel like if you guys use your bench properly, and get your rotations right, it could be really hard for Queensland because it will be like paying Haas off, but then you've got Yo and Lanu and Olukawatu coming on, young, a bit of footwork. Depending on how you use it, you could really blow us off the park, especially if it is going to be wet. Yeah, I agree. I feel like our bench is stronger and bigger and better.

I wouldn't say better. I don't know if New South Wales, I just don't know if we'll use it correctly. We haven't used our bench correctly the last two or three series, in my opinion. Well, probably since Fittler's been the coach, to be honest. Yeah, so hopefully. Stops at 13 and just guesses. It's hard because I'm sure they do go on a plan and then a HIA or just something changes the plan.

Yeah, but you've always got to have contingency plans. Yeah, 100%. I feel like Freddie hasn't had them in the past sometimes. So hopefully he doesn't. Well, he's got a gut, though. So we've mentioned him a few times, but Oluwadu, I think he's my biggest player to watch in this game. I feel like just whatever he does, hopefully it's more than 30 minutes. Well, it depends on how he gets used. I just hope it's more than 30 minutes and I think he can be anything.

That's the thing. You guys want every one of your players in your four-pack to be playing, you know, 30-plus minutes to get the most out of them. But you feel like... It's hard. Yeah. That's why Spencer Lenu is perfect in a way because he knows how to come on and be that wrecking ball for 25, 30 minutes. Whereas Oluwatu, he hasn't had that before. He hasn't had to come on and go cut snake, which is also scary because you're like, fuck, what could he do?

You see what he does in that 70th minute tearing at home. What can he do when he comes on fresh after 2025 when the boys are tired? Especially like Dearden. Dearden battles above his weight level. But if you've got Olokawadu just charging at you, full tilt after 20 or 30 minutes in the Origin Arena in front of 80,000. See, my play to watch is Spencer because you're only going to get 15, 20 minutes out of him max. Yeah, before he gets fucking sent off. Yeah.

But it's going to be – I think he could, if we're under a little bit of pressure turn. Turn it around for us, but he needs to control himself. And it's just whether he can control that aggression. That's what I was about to tack on to that with the adding to and the aggression and stuff because there's a few Broncos players on the other team and old Paddy Carrigan who had the old fucking, brouhaha, wordshaha in the, what do you call it, in the lobby of the old hotel.

It could even work that that's half the reason why Madge might have picked him is to see if he puts some of the Queenslanders off their game. Just gets out there ripping and tearing. As soon as Lenu goes out there, Paddy Carrigan's going to want a piece of him. There's no other Broncos. Oh, Walsh won't do nothing. Nah, Walsh will just say a few words. Yeah, he'll send it. Cobbo might have a crack when he comes on.

But all the Queenslanders are going to get behind it, and I reckon it could be one of those ones. Because you know, like back when Jai Arrow through Tedesco after he was knocked out. The next club game for the Roosters, the Roosters just end up fucking folding because all they wanted to do was just take out Jairo. Yeah. So it could have, I don't know if it will have the same effect here for Queensland. Probably not because they're a bit more better. I think Paddy Carrigan's a little

bit more switched on than to Bynum. I reckon he might one or two try and get him. Especially that Maroon jersey on. I don't think it'll throw Paddy off his game. Which is the worst. I think it could almost, they might go the other way and pay Spencer no attention at all. And it might piss Spencer off more because he's trying to get under their skin and can't.

Maybe. It'll be interesting to see what happens when he comes on the field. It's going to be a show. It's going to be red hot. This whole game is going to be a spectacle. Like it always is. And I can't wait. We're getting close. I can nearly taste it. But then also in saying that, I'm feeling a bit more relaxed. I'm feeling relaxed this time. I'm feeling relaxed more. I'm feeling – I don't want to say confident. I'm just feeling more relaxed. Are you a little bit more

confident in your coach? Yes. I think I am actually. 100%. I think especially with the success he's had with Kiwis, the recent success he's had with the Kiwis just puts you that little bit more – like I'm still confused on how burdened he's done on the team. And I think also that's made me more relaxed because – Because he's already got coverage, brother.

I feel like it's made me more relaxed too because there's a lot of things that we weren't able to do with our team because of injuries and that and people not being available. So, I'm like, even though I don't agree with this whole team, pretty much 95% of it, I'm like, I think they're our best players in those positions. So, let's roll with it. And have a red hot crack. Yeah, let's roll with it. He's picked a work hard team.

Obviously, Dylan Edwards isn't going to be there, but I feel like with this back line and the team that he's picked, it will actually complement Tedesco a lot. Tedesco doesn't wreck it. I'm sneaky scared of what Tedesco might do. I know the manifest. Because he's not the captain. Not captain. He's been the late call-up, the old SOS, come and save us.

How many times have Queenslanders had that when they've come back from being dropped all day and they come back and just rip in and be the best player? But just like, because he has been in good form. So they're not get picked and then you go, you know, hey, this is where it's at. Come with me, boys. Teddy could have that feeling of like, I lost my jersey. Now I've got it back. I'm not going to let it go. And he's not captain, so he doesn't have to worry

about that. He's just got to worry about playing his game. He just has to play his game. I'm not losing this jersey again until I fucking say it. Now, mate, just a quick question for you is, what do you reckon he has to do?

Because I think Dylan Edwards is only one to two weeks, so he could be ready for game two. What do you reckon Tedesco's got to do in this game? Win. They just need to win. Win. Reckon? Yeah. New South Wales win. We're not changing anyone in this team. Reckon? Except maybe, no. Madge McGuire, do you reckon he might, if Dylan Edwards is fit? No. Or do you reckon he might want to see him play a club game? Well, I think it might depend on how we win. If we win. if we win and it's a close one.

That's what I mean. What's James Tedesco himself got to do? Because if he's win, but he might have a shitter. Not necessarily have a shitter, but if he just goes about it and has an average game. I think he just needs to put in 100%. I reckon if he just plays hard for the entire time and just shows that he's willing to do those little extra things, Madge won't have any issue picking him again. I feel like if New South Wales win, we're not changing our spine. So I'm going to tell you this.

Someone out there in the know with Tedesco, Get him to put the fucking long spikes in Get him to put the long ones on there Because it's going to be wet They're going to get a custom made long one Yeah Big old long toe bars I don't know if they can make them long enough Three or four inches long, Just to really get him to grip that ground What do you reckon?

The over under is him slipping over No, no If it's wet At least eight, nine and a half Line He's going to trip over For like two or three times In one run at least Absolutely fucking beautiful, boys. Well, let's get to it. Let's get to our... Let's put some... Not maybe some wages on it, but let's just have a... Let's pick our results and who's going to win and how many by and the man of the match and we'll see who gets the points.

I'm going New South Wales to win. Bullshit, really? Yep. But I'm thinking... Sitting there in your Queensland jacket. I feel like it's... I really hope... I don't know. If we win by fucking 20, I'll be laughing, but I don't think we will. I think we're going to win by four points. I think it's going to be real close. New South Wales by four points. And who's your mum? It's time. It has to be the time for the big dog. And he's had such a great season for the Broncos.

I think this is going to be his game. Payne Haas, man of the match. All right, I'll split up the little New South Wales fucking love boat around here. It's definitely not a fucking love boat. Oh, God. Queensland, obviously. Come on now. Come on now. Absolutely. Come on. Queensland. Oh, you're actually backing your team in game one this time. Absolutely. We might be able to win our bet this time. No, I didn't. Oh, no, no, no. No. Yeah, you fucked us.

I thought it wasn't a love boat. He picked Coruscant. Coruscant.

And I've got Queensland by eight. I do feel like it's going to be a close-ish affair. And I've got... He was copping a little bit. I don't know why there was any sort of a doubt on whether or not he would play or not or why he would get picked, but I've got deer to have himself a fucking red-hot crack and get them on. That's a good shout from you. I reckon he's going to fucking have just a red-hot dip and go, fuck, I'm just going to come here.

Come here, boy. I hate that. Why do you hate that? Because it's such a good fucking pick. He's just that guy that would do that in a Queensland jersey. It's that number six jersey, that magic jersey. Now, I'm going to throw you boys here.

Bullshit. No way you go against them No I'm taking New South Wales to win, And I'm taking 13 plus He's going No I'm going to take them By 7 7, And I would have gone You want to Imagine What's the longest ever Origin game Do they go to draw No you can't ever draw it I think Yeah right I wonder what's the longest Imagine Just keeps going 3 o'clock in the morning We're like Come on boys, Sorry And I was struggling for a man of the match.

Yeah, I know. It's hard to pick one from the New South Wales team, isn't it? It is. Go with Kyle. Go with the fairy tale storyline. Go with Kyle. Swaliti. He was actually... Oh, fuck off. He was going to be my pick until Dylan Edwards went down. But James Tedesco will be the man of the match. He reckons. He reckons I hope nothing more than for him to not have an absolute shitter. That would just be – imagine if he just proved Madge right by having just a shitter.

No, I don't want that. I know you guys don't want it, but it's going to be fine. If Teddy plays bad, I think we don't win this game. That's normal. Usually if your fullback doesn't play well, you're not going to win the state of origin. But I think hopefully we win. I think he'll play good. See how the debut times go under the pressure. And then Dylan Edwards will have to wait another year to maybe play origin.

But then if we win and Teddy's playing good next year, it's going to be hard not to pick him again and feel bad for Dylan Edwards.

I thought it was his time But it is what it is It's rugby league Body's getting injured Okay boys Let's have a little dip Let's dip our toes In some, Maltese And you never know We can't tip National rugby league But maybe State of origin We're just We're just gonna give you the one Just one crucial, Not necessarily crucial We're just gonna give you the one Nothing too crazy The one between us But twinkst us We might throw out Some fucking specials Outside of that If you wanna follow our,

Personalities Oh, I'm not. Oh, maybe. Yeah. But. Where's that night, mate? We're going to have an outlay of $50. Let's go. Where are you going, Jake? I sort of want to go last because I've got. Oh, because you're trying to predict the future. Because I think I've read your mind. So if you guys know what I'm thinking, then I know where I'm going. But then if we go first, how do we know that you haven't just said what we've said? Oh, pretty much I'll tell you. You know what I mean?

I've got it already as a bet slip. All right, Kyle. What do you got?

I'm going to debutant. See, I'm fine. But which debut time? Slow. Let's go to you, Cody. Let's go to you, Cody. What side do you reckon he's playing on? Either one. Doesn't matter. One of the sides. There's only two of them. I think he'll play left. Righto. Come on, Cody. Well, I will. Oh, now I don't know, actually. Just go what you were going to go. Well, I was thinking about it because I was going to say fucking Red Hot Dearden loves to give a fucking short ball out to the left-hand side.

And Holmes has scored off him before. But Holmes is now on the right and fucking Hammer's on the left. I've got to swap. I'll be going to Hammer. I've got to change. So you're going to Hammer or Holmes? I'm going to Hammer. Has he nailed it? I nailed it. I nailed it. He has to. Off the change. Nah, yeah, because Holmes has scored off of Dearden. Deirdre, the last time Deirdre played Origin. But since then, he's swapped sides to the right because Hammer's coming on the

left. And now, because I doubt it, I'm going to lock in what I had. Which is fucking bullshit. So I'm going to go on Swally any time, into Hammer any time, and either team to win by six or less. That is a Muttley Multi for State of Origin. And that is paying $26.25. I really don't like it when he picks a result. Can we just bring up the fact that any time you have any sort of result with a fucking score in it, you lose. I hit one of these a couple of weeks ago.

No, you had the Roosters and Dragons, either team to win by eight, and the Roosters won by 50. You also had the fucking, you also had Rabbitohs by 13 plus, they lost. You had another one Fucking 1-12 They won 13 plus I don't like it When he takes a result It's going to be a close game Boy it's Origen That's what you said About the Roosters and Dragons That was the Roosters and Dragons On Anzac Day Yeah you're like It's Anzac Day.

Jesus Christ I just don't want to go On another try score Because I think that's hard So I'm going with this Alright back in it It's just I like it 26-25 Two try scores It's a close game Where's the second game? Is it in neutral? Yep. Melbourne. Have we gone to Melbourne again this year? I'm pretty sure we've gone to Melbourne this year. I don't know. But, yeah. Well, since I've changed, I'm going to throw out one little personal.

Just as an any time, just because he is coming up, old Valentine Hones is only two tries away from equaling the most ever tries. Put him down as a double? In origin. Lovely. No, see. Oh, okay. I was going to say the double and then him break it in Queensland, but I reckon he'll just go for the one, get himself one in Melbourne or wherever the second one is, and then he'll break the record at home. So I've got Holmes any time. Just one? Just one. Beautiful.

Just one. Loves himself a try. He's 14 tries from, like, 17 games or something ridiculous. His strike rate is fucking hectic. So I've got Holmes any time. I'm going to chuck on two. Ooh. From nothing to two all of a sudden. Yeah. So I have to go Teddy. Just on the redeemed team, Teddy. The redeemed team. And then just talking about him coming off the bench and possibly being fresh and just frothing. I've paired him up with Olukewatu. Just that sneaky double for New South Wales.

That'll be paying some fucking juicy dollars. I can get a boost for $25. That's not bad. For Tedesco and Olukewatu. I do rate Olukewatu. I do rate that. Just something about it that fucking gets me a little bit excited. Just get your fucking duke out.

And then for the Queenslanders, I've gone a bit out there, but not by much. Not paying as much. Oh, no, actually, I don't like that. I'm going a day butt. Oh, the old day butt. For a Queenslander. And then also the bloat that you expect to score just about every time. So I've gone Reece Walsh into Jaden Sewer. Usher. Usher. Boosted for $20.25. So those are my two plays. Separate. I'm going to give you another one.

Just as a little bit of something-something. We know you were talking about the kicking games in our earlier potty.

And how good the – it might have even been this one, actually, because we're talking about origin, to be fair. Earlier, you were talking about the kicking games. And if there isn't an exponent that's fucking good off the kick, it's Murray – no, I don't want Murray to a lungy. I want Nanai. I've written the wrong one down here. Yeah, right. I was looking at Nanai. I was looking at Nanai.

I want Nanai kicking game up against it, have a red-hot crack, jump above because the back row is if he's lining up against Liam Martin, Liam Martin's got no jump. Not that that matters. Nanai will be on the right. Angus Crichton will be left. He'll be up against Crichton. Nanai will be on the left. Why would Nanai be on the left? No, Sewell would be on the left. Nanai will be right. That's what, yeah. Yeah, Crichton will be left for New

South Wales, so he'll be up. Oh, I see what you mean there. Yeah, nah, he'll out-jump him. Fuck him. He'll out-jump him.

And then just because he's a fucking red-hot unit and he just does some fucking miraculous shit come origin time, put the Queensland jersey on in front of 80,000. Avocado seeds up his ass. Old fucking avocado seed himself. Fucking Lindsay Collins. For the double, $27.50. Not bad. Actually, I need to change that because I'm still talking about fucking Tulangi. I was going to say because Nenoy would be paying more. Yeah, absolutely. I was wondering why Nenoy was paying $2.00 a score.

I was like, geez, that's fucking not bad there. Well, I've got two. And my first one I'm feeling a bit of Rooster connection here Alright guys, see ya, bye.

Just quickly, $43.75 Nenai Collins, anytime I got a Rooster collection And I went Teddy into Croydon Which is paying a little $16 Which I really don't mind for two players, And then I've got a Daybutt bet Plus Reece Walsh So I've got Lomax, Sua Ali and Reece Walsh Anytime times $28 there and then I didn't do this but sports better do it to me and I'm just gonna put a dollar on it because you know seven leg up so pretty much the mutley

bet as well as Teddy cried and Lomax and Reese Walsh also score $2,501 so I'm chucking a dollar on that so basically, but either team to win by one to six how many how many try scores from each team did you just pick, uh in one bit I got two New South Wales the other bit two New South Wales in the seven legger There's three and three. It should be, yeah. That makes sense. I was going to say five and one. No, four and two. Four and two. And you've got either team to win by six.

You sound like me betting. I didn't do it. Sports Bet just did it. I've got Queensland to win, but New South Wales to score eight tries. That's exactly what you would do. That's my bets. I've got Queensland one to 12, and then I've got five Queenslanders scoring. I've got Raiders to win, but I've got Isako 12 plus points. But beautiful. That is our Saturday version of Game 1 preview. Get around it and have a great Wednesday night. Enjoy your Saturday version. Lovely.
