Cowboys, Warriors, Knights, the season's on the line. Arguing all the odds and predictions, it's a sign. Smashing buttons online, got the console glowing bright. Just three mates talking trash and arguing all night. It's all just banter and noise, incoherent and disconnected now. Lost in the mayhem, trying to make sense of it somehow. Sports and games and shouting, yeah, that's what we're about. The Incoherent Podcast, let's hear you shout it out.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 0:30

Welcome back to episode 31 of the Incoherence Podcast. We've had a two-week layoff

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 0:37

Because Johnson's fat and be bothered to fucking do anything

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 0:41

No, no, we done 31 last week. I never posted it because

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 0:46

You're lazy.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 0:47

time, by the time

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 0:49

you're

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 0:49

I got to edit it, it was like Friday afternoon and I'm like, "There is no point to doing this." So

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 0:56

a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 0:57

I didn't. Yeah, I'll have deleted it now, so

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 0:59

hear us. Fisky wants us to hear us take the piss out of you

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 1:04

Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 1:05

for bagging Manly for six weeks leading into the season

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 1:08

Nah.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 1:09

Mm-hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 1:10

Nah. And I fucked up last week too. I tried to..., called up because I'd had no sleep on Thursday for the night shift, call up the supervisor to tell him that I've had no sleep. I think I'm not gonna come in, for him to tell me I need to come in.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 1:24

Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 1:28

that as a privilege

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 1:30

Right

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 1:31

that somebody actually wanted you for the day

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 1:35

I did feel pr... I drove around the scraper. No, I drove around, I was driving the scraper. We had no scraper drivers, that's why he needed me. It was looking like it was gonna flog down rain, so. But yeah. Anyway, so we are recording on a Thursday for a change, 'cause I decided that Origin was on last night, and there was no point talking about Origin then releasing an episode the day after about what's gonna happen in Origin when it's already happened. So we're doing an Origin review, and for our American listeners that do listen, game one 2026 State of Origin. If you haven't watched Rugby League or you haven't watched much Rugby League and you wanna know why we love it so much, go watch that, 'cause that had everything in it. So yeah.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 2:26

a fight.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 2:27

It didn't have a fight, but we can't fight anymore. If you really wanna see what Origin's about, go back and watch, oh, pick a year. '97, Cattle Dog?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 2:37

Yeah

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 2:39

Uh, '90s. Probably the '90s, they were pretty brutal.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 2:42

any time that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 2:43

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 2:44

Queensland's been pumped

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 2:46

Yeah, but skip, skip from about 2008. What was it? 2000 and... Eight years past that.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 2:55

Text size

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 2:56

No, I think it was... Wasn't it fucking 2000 and... No, it would've been 2008, wouldn't it? 2007. Hold on. I don't even know when their streak started.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 3:07

'8 was the start of the dynasty

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:09

Anyway, after last night, Queensland just don't get origin, so doesn't matter.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 3:15

Fucking hell.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:17

They don't.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 3:18

Hmm

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:18

Kahoot!, do you know the most

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 3:21

NRL?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:22

nights to get NRL? Hoover, do you know the most confusing day in Queensland?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 3:28

When?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:30

Spending Father's Day with your uncle I've had that for years. Queenslanders hate it. So yeah. I can take it back, don't worry.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 3:40

Fucking

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:41

Anyway, yeah. No, what he's been doing today, working

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 3:47

Yeah. No, I haven't been working. No.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:49

Zach's on night shift. He told me today he wasn't coming. So

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 3:52

right

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:53

yeah,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 3:53

I am on

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:54

yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 3:54

shift. I've been doing fucking paperwork waiting for your fat ass

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 3:57

Uh, so what are you doing paperwork?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 4:00

I was watching the girls State of Origin that's on right now.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:04

Yeah. I haven't because they already wrapped it up and yeah. I just went with that.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 4:11

Yeah

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:12

before we do go to the Origin, we'll go to the round before. I completely...

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 4:17

two

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:18

No.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 4:18

you

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:19

No, we're not. We're not. But those rounds before the State of Origin games, the reduced rounds, they're- Shocking they're some shocking games

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 4:31

Cowboys play? Yeah, boy

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 4:35

Mm-hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:35

I just didn't have any interest. So,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 4:39

'Cause

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:39

yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 4:40

fairy knights weren't playing. Needed to have a little rest

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:44

No, but I'm thinking one thing the Che- Cowboys do have going for them at the moment is I really like Chester. Like really.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 4:53

Apparently

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 4:54

Probably can't say that. Fuck. He's bigger than you

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 4:58

What? No, fucking Freddie

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 4:59

No, you ask

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:01

Oh, did he?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 5:01

he's

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 5:02

Yeah, he said it on TV. Fucking

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:05

Oh, wow.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 5:06

know how you haven't seen that yet. Yeah, fucking when

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:09

Oh, don't pay attention

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 5:10

when he was running the ball down the sideline there and chucked it back in and our mate dropped it or something, he's gone, "Oh no, Che- The Molester's, uh, done something." And we-- And yeah, fucking got in trouble for it

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 5:25

It's not the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:25

Is that why you wasn't on the Origin fucking broadcast?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 5:28

Most likely.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 5:30

Um, but Big, Big Willy calls him Snake Arms. Uh

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:36

what's the best name that a commentator's gave someone? Is it The Cheese?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 5:40

Well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:41

The, this band's pretty good, guys

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 5:42

got it right when they called JT the Immortal, but there we go.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:47

That didn't happen.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 5:48

The man has

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:50

yeah.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 5:51

Hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:52

I don't know. Is it the cheese?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 5:55

Uh, maybe

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 5:56

I can't think of anything else. Anyone... I can't think of anything

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 6:01

Other than like just the normal nicknames, not the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 6:03

Oh, the h- the Heim train, Heim plane

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 6:07

Ah, that's gay. Fuck

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 6:08

All right. What'd you-- What are your thoughts on last night's game? Mind you, I put up a post of our bets. I picked Ethan Strange to go with our Blues bet, because we decided we're all gonna pick the Blues anyway. These two picked Toto and Capewell. And there was a stage when...

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 6:30

Cape Wa. Cape Wa, not Cape

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 6:31

Capewell, I did see that earlier. Did you see the, the meme I sent you with the Kalyn Ponga photo that just said that when I put on a big tackle, I use head and shoulders?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 6:40

Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 6:44

you earlier today to see whether you could get a lend of it. It might straighten out your graze

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 6:50

Yes

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 6:51

Head Shoulders doesn't fix grays. It fixes dandruff.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 6:55

experience

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 6:56

This isn't dandruff

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 6:58

why, why do you know from, yeah, you know from experience

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 7:01

might,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:02

I've needed it, yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 7:03

help highlight your grace

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:05

Yeah, no. I'm not trying to highlight it. I've got more since I started this podcast, so... But other than the butchering of the national anthem, now that was horrendous

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 7:20

I didn't s- see the national anthem actually.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:22

It was so bad. Don't go back and watch it.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 7:25

Yeah

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:25

It was so bad. Apparently he's the Ray Gun of national anthems, they were saying before.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 7:32

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:33

yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 7:34

Can't mention anything about butchering without talking about Tedesco's butchered pass

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:40

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 7:41

That was bad

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:43

I don't know what's worse, Okolatu's frigging play the ball fumble

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 7:48

Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 7:49

Well

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:51

throw the ball 22 meters in the pouring rain at someone's ankles

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 7:55

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 7:56

E- a bloke that stands seven foot tall

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 7:59

Yeah

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 8:00

well, he should have just ran the ball and, uh, probably scored himself really.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 8:06

out and Toto would've scored in the corner

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 8:09

See that, that was the thing though. Coming into the end of that game, the Blues blew that many chances at scoring that I just-- it wasn't gonna happen. For the, the, the entire 80 minutes, they were their worst, own worst enemy for the entire game

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 8:25

Righto. Look, we're all Blues supporters here. If Ponga didn't do that tackle and stayed on, New

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 8:33

No.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 8:33

didn't win

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 8:35

No. No. It was only 'cause they had the overlap and he put, Slater put Capewell out in the centers, which mind you, he had Shibasaki sitting on the bench

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 8:45

But the thing is, right. Yeah, but yeah. So right, they put

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 8:49

Yeah, but you throw Shibasaki out there, you're, you're blowing a interchange when you got 25 minutes of

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 8:56

Yeah, but you're shoring up your defense a little bit more though.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 8:59

Not really

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 9:00

Not really, 'cause he,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 9:01

I,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 9:01

he is a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 9:02

I think you are, 'cause you, you're dropping your lockout

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 9:06

Well, he, he's not a lock. He was second

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 9:08

No, he wasn't locked. No, because frigging Carrig- Carrigan would have pushed up into the second row, been playing second row. You don't, you don't need a lock on the field. And we've seen, we've seen time and time again with the 10 in the bin, people getting sent off, and teams with the 12 people have scored. They've held teams out. Look, I know it was 20 minutes and everything and it's origin. It's-- They got beat by fatigue by being run from side to side and through the middle and, you know, that's all it was. It was just fatigue. Hey?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 9:40

by Nathan Cleary. Ask all the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 9:42

they-- Nathan played very well.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 9:45

Mm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 9:46

I've been tell- I know that

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 9:49

When did he play well

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 9:50

he played well for the last 15 minutes when he played well. He was not the best player on that field. And even as a Blues fan, yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 10:03

He pushed up like any halfback in the game can do

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 10:08

should. Doesn't mean they do

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 10:10

To score a try, anyone, not even just a halfback, anybody could have run that hole

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 10:15

Yeah. One thing I did notice though, speaking of Halifax, Sam Walker, as soon as he starts getting flustered or tries to push the point, just runs straight sideways,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 10:25

Okay.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 10:25

everyone running under him every time.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 10:27

backwards

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 10:28

Like, yeah, it, it drives you insane. Ethan Strange played very well, and I think he should retain his spot. I don't think they should bring Moses in whether he's fit or not

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 10:42

Yeah. Yeah, 100%. who, you know who should lose their spot, Bart? Fucking Steven Crichton.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 10:50

Yeah. I said Stags

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 10:52

Fucking waste. Steven Crichton, fucking waste, he is

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 10:56

Yeah. It is a potential

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 10:59

Da- Dag's done his job. Dag's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 11:02

Yeah

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 11:02

got the fucking, cunt in him and fucking actually done his job. was burning fucking Kate Well every time, still went the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 11:12

Yeah.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 11:13

Steve Brighton that just fumbled

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 11:15

Doris had already played 60 minutes and had a fucking knock to the head that had fucking blood pissing out of it. Like,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 11:22

still.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 11:23

he, he'd need a blood transfusion on the way back to New Zealand

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 11:26

No, no, he's not. He's playing there again on Sunday.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 11:30

Yeah, he will. He's that sort of player. He-- I've never not liked C- I don't know why the Panthers got rid of Capewell. I don't know why the Broncos got rid of Capewell. And for the Warriors, he's a good pickup because he covers multiple positions and he doesn't stop. Like he's not even one of those players where he only does it in the Origin arena. He does that week in, week out,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 11:50

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 11:50

him credit. Like, he's gonna be an absolutely busted thumb by the time he finishes his career. Same with Cotter., Cotter does the same thing. They just bust their ass all the time and they're the sort of players that you want. They're the hard players you want around you that can lead the team forward and that your forward pack needs. So, I did see before, a bit off-topic, but,, Tyson Frizell's asked to get another contract with the Knights for next season. He's enjoying his footy and stuff. I thought he would've been on his last legs,, if he's feeling it, he, the, he's one of those players as well that just gives everything and doesn't stop till the end of the game. Like

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 12:25

they, if they start him really fucking, they've only been playing him

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 12:29

Oh,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 12:30

at the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 12:31

yeah, he's been playing off the bench, but he, he gives that impact off the bench. I love that impact player off the bench., I think being on the bench starting, I don't think it matters anymore because they play to their minutes. I, I would've liked the Blues to have put Brailey on a little bit earlier than what they did. But at the same time, they were behind the eight ball and everything, I know Zach's got thoughts on that. But I'd, I'd honestly if... Well, yous have convinced me now that Crichton was the problem. Well, not a problem, but Crichton dropped if Latrell comes back, keeps Stags. I, I would actually be inclined to put- leave McLean on the wing outside Latrell. He was the one that turned that game as soon as he come on the field. Like, there was the, the send-off, which honestly, I'm a, I'm a Knights fan. I'm a big Kalyn Ponga fan. You know, I'll, I'll defend him because I, I generally think he's a good player. I think he made a mistake. He fucked up. Whether it should've been 10 in the bin or sent off, I think it doesn't really matter

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 13:38

many times have he led with his head try and stop a try?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 13:42

Yeah.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 13:42

Every

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 13:43

But that's the thing, right? So in NFL, if you lead with your head like that to tackle a player, why the fuck you would or does... That boggles me. That's a penalty. Like, it's a penalty anyway. So despite whether he hit him with the, with the head or the shoulder, he tucked for a shoulder charge and got it wrong and hit the head. I'm happy with the decision to send him off.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 14:09

Did you see him arguing with

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:10

I'm happy with it

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 14:11

"Oh, it was he- it was head-on-head clash"?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:15

Yeah. At the same time, Kalyn Ponga thought it was 10 in the bin. He didn't realize he was sin-sent until the coaches told him.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 14:25

Yeah. No, you can clearly hear

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:29

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 14:30

client say, "See you later," on your bike

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:34

Kalen comes from a back- a rugby union background. That's probably the first time he's ever been sent. Like, it doesn't come up

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 14:41

he's a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:41

as...

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 14:42

species

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:43

No, but a send-off doesn't come up that often. It's very rare that you get a send-off.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 14:47

year,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:48

And mind you,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 14:48

year's Origin.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:50

no, it was the year before

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 14:51

before

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 14:53

There has been seven send-offs now in Origin Arena. Ashley Klein is responsible for four of them

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 15:01

And so

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 15:02

reckon he ref- reffed all right last night

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 15:06

I,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 15:07

Johnson doesn't like him the same as he

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 15:09

no, I don't.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 15:10

Sam Walker.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 15:11

No, I don't. I've got nothing positive to say about him

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 15:13

the same box as fucking Blocker

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 15:16

Yeah. Yeah. I got, I got a little lunchbox where I go and put these people that I really cannot stand listening to

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 15:22

What I liked about that specific moment was Klein didn't give a fuck what anybody else was saying,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 15:31

No.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 15:31

backed himself, and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 15:33

Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 15:34

marching

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 15:35

I think, I think at the end, the end he actually did get the decision right. And like you said, I don't like Clyne, and it's not even because I'm a Blues supporter. It's literally the contact to the head. I think, I think he got it right. I don't think, I don't think Tennant-- I know that it come out today that Kalyn doesn't lose any games for it, like he's getting a, a fine suspension. But I don't think Kalyn's been to the judiciary,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 16:03

Well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 16:03

if ever

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 16:04

you gotta play games to go to the judiciary

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 16:08

Yeah. Yeah, that's true too. But

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 16:13

Yeah, well he only gets concussed 'cause

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 16:14

No, but

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 16:15

to headbutt other people's forearms

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 16:17

I think, I think him not being a repeat offender saved him is what I mean, what I'm saying

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 16:21

Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 16:23

should be an automatic two weeks.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 16:27

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 16:27

No 13 or 23% match payment

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 16:31

But is it still 40 grand or 80 grand, whatever they got?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 16:35

Don't know. But

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 16:37

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 16:37

get sent and you're letting your team, state, you're letting everyone down, two weeks, see you later

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 16:45

So the thing is, the reason that they brought in the fines the way that they have now, where players get more fines than they get suspensions, is literally through not losing time, like games. For like around those finals periods where, you know, they're-- they could get suspended and miss a grand final, so they've got the fines there to sorta cushion that from when like Cameron Smith missed it and be-

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 17:12

that's been to the judiciary and, uh, escaped a suspension

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 17:18

Don't know how

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 17:20

I believe Palmer should have got two weeks

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 17:24

This is coming from a bloke that hit someone with his wrist in the nose

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 17:28

So I didn't. He ran into my elbow with his Adam's apple

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 17:34

Nose. That was higher than high. Nearly leveled his fucking eyes

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 17:39

re- it really was his Adam's apple. Hit me square in the elbow, and I just happened- ly, that's how I got off. It was the wrapping of the arm around his throat

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 17:50

That wasn't even a thing then.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 17:52

Ah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 17:57

Fucking hell. You think I'm the idiot. All right. Yeah. But I think my summary of the game is the Blues didn't play very well. They got lucky with the send-off. Kalyn Ponga made a mistake and probably deserved it. Blues have a lot of work to do. I think the Blues are better next game, but I think Queensland are gonna be up for it, and if they're gonna win the series, they're gonna have to win in Melbourne, 'cause I can't see us going to Suncorp and beating them.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 18:27

Race...

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 18:28

I know we have before.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 18:29

making?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 18:30

I know we have before. I know we have

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 18:33

for you back next game.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 18:35

What?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 18:36

Yeah. How, what do you reckon? You reckon, how good do yous reckon it'd be to finish a whitewash at Suncorp though?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 18:45

Um

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 18:46

That'd be the like-- I reckon as a player, that'd be like the ultimate. A complete whitewash in Suncorp, or like as a Blues player, obviously

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 18:56

What I was disappointed at, I, I don't like that we didn't attack Sam Walker

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:03

Yeah. No, I agree.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 19:05

We,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:05

I agree

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 19:05

didn't... Like, I think Cleary should have swung to that side of the field a bit more and Hudson Young

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:14

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 19:15

Sam Walker's inside shoulder

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:17

I probably, I probably would have been given, like Ponga was taking a lot of catches. I would've been putting floaters up for Cobbo. Cobbo's got mistakes in him

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 19:25

kick the

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 19:25

Yeah, but Cobbo was good. Cobbo was good under the high ball

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:28

No, they did, but Ponga was taking a lot of those high balls. Even that one where he decided to catch it in the air and land on his back. Like, he done that twice

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 19:37

Billy Slater's totally taught him that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:40

Yeah. Yeah, that throwing your legs up like that, yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 19:44

fucking,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:45

No, it's an AFL thing. Billy used to get trained by AFL players, and I know the Knights now have a fucking AFL coach coaching

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 19:54

'Cause that helps the Knights with their catching ability so well

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 19:57

That's why they can't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 19:59

It, it is at the moment.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 20:00

properly in AFL, so that's why, that's why the Knights' defense caved.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 20:06

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 20:06

what changes you just making to that blue side?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 20:10

I think, I think McLean to the wing and hopefully Latrell's fit. I think, I think that strengthens defense and attack

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 20:21

Yeah, I, I can see literal

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 20:23

the only, they're the only real changes that I'm making other than Haas coming to the front row and probably drop Safeti off. Not gonna use him anyway, so

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 20:32

was a real why player. Why be there really?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 20:36

Oh, he's had a pretty good season. He's played in Origin before, and the lot when he did play in Origin, he carved up

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 20:43

so you th- you reckon Jacob Safiti is playing a lot better than Jackson Ford at the moment?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 20:48

No. No, no, I don't, I don't, I don't agree with his selection. I'm just saying it doesn't surprise me that much that he got selected on the bench. So there's obviously a reason Jackson Ford got left out, and I'm not sure what it is, but

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:04

Dane Laurie said that he isn't versatile.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 21:08

Dane Laurie?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:09

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 21:10

Dane Laurie.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:10

Fucking.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 21:11

He's just done, he's just done a Laurie Daley to Laurie Daley. How good was Casey McGuire last night?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:19

Um, yeah, fucking, he said he wasn't versatile enough. Considering

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 21:26

We doesn't need to, eh?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:28

that went into second row, the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 21:30

Yeah

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:30

rower

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 21:31

Yeah, well he played Murray and fucking Ru- Radley at fucking, in the front row

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:37

right

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 21:38

So I think

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 21:40

Radley did play all right. He's made for that, that arena. The only reason I'd be iffy of picking him is literally penalties.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 21:47

kick chasers, who are the first two ones down there every

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 21:51

Yeah, I know. I know that. I know that. I know that. No, I, I just get... In, in that sort of environment of like an Origin or those big games like that, a penalty is so, like, you b- you don't wanna, you don't wanna have that pressure put on you. I did-- You could see it last night, just the repeat sets in that first half. New South Wales had no ball. It's not that they didn't have the skill to get through the line or anything like that. They had no ball and they were fucked. They were just running off their feet. It's like every other NRL game this year where they're running out of-- They're just fatigued from defending so much because of the fucking six against or, you know, there wasn't as many six against, but there was just the mistakes, and they were just so punishing. And Radley has those stupid penalties in him where he can get sent off or, you know... It-- His best attributes are the worst for him as well. Like, you want him there for that stuff, but it can also work against him in, in a, in a, in the right scenario, you know what I mean? Like, doing what he did last night is what you want from Radley. Putting the hits on, getting up in everyone's face, running the ball. That's exactly what you want, and if you get that week in, week in week out, he's one of the best second rowers in the comp. It's all the shit that he cops from penalties and head highs and suspensions and shit like that, that lets him down. Like, honestly So, you know, some of those players can skate that fine line and get away with it and still be tough, but there's some players that try-- that do play that tough sort of game and they never get away with it. And yeah, so that's the, that's the only reason. You know, I- I'd like to try and fit Murray starting, but like Zach said to me before, who are you dropping? There's not really anyone. Like, I can't see putting Yo to the bench or anything like that, even though I didn't think Yo was great.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 23:48

could see him, him going back to the M-

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 23:50

Isn't Yo captain?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 23:51

Cleary. Yeo and Cleary are captain, aren't they?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 23:55

Like

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 23:55

thought they

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 23:55

co-captain?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 23:56

were

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 23:56

No, I don't think so. No, just yo.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 23:59

I could s- I could see putting

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 24:00

Just yo

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 24:01

for sure.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 24:02

I, I don't think he play-- I don't think he played an outstanding game at all. Like, I might've missed something. See, I don't like watching footy on the TV because they zoom up on the play the ball on every play. I'd rather be sitting back and seeing what the players are doing and stuff like that, like where they're moving around and you see more of what players are doing.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 24:24

The spotter came

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 24:26

Fuck the spider cam, not behind. I hate the spider cam. What? Get a drone. Heaps cheaper, heaps easier to set up. Like, fuck me. Yeah. All right, youse got anything else on Origin before we get into some other stuff?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 24:42

microphone Fucking hell

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 24:46

I wasn't yelling. Ugh. Trying not to sound depressed Zach,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 24:53

Well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 24:54

you got anything?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 24:55

I've tried to speak seven times and you keep cutting me off, so I've stopped

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 25:00

Oh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 25:00

you can talk now

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 25:01

need

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 25:01

No, it's fine. Moved on.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 25:03

he's a grown adult. He can do what he wants

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 25:05

Uh

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 25:07

What, what, what changes do you wanna make?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 25:10

Nah, doesn't matter. Moving on

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 25:14

See, mm-hmm So the Cowboys have signed two Sharks players. Are you excited?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 25:21

No, don't lock either of them

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 25:23

Just try it out

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 25:25

I don't. I never have liked either of those players. I fucking hate them both, so

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 25:30

I don't-- I remember when Ramyon was at the Knights and he went back to the Sharks because he was homesick, and that's only an hour up the road, or an hour and a half up the road. I don't know he was gonna go with being in North Queensland. So anyway, um, yeah. I'm pretty sure there was another re-signing. Oh, um, Connor Watson signed with the Hunt,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 25:53

did he?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 25:54

PNG Chiefs today. Yep. For 2028. And more than likely he'll probably end up with the Dragons for a season next season, but the Roosters have already said that they can release him early this year if need be, so

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 26:09

go near

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 26:10

No. If you're Connor Watson and you've got the chance to move on to go to the Dragons, or you can just see out the rest of the year at the Roosters who could make it to a grand final,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 26:22

Hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 26:23

not going to the Dragons. So, yeah. Are you just gonna say nothing for the rest of the podcast?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 26:29

asleep

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 26:31

Oh. When he drops his lip, it hits his fucking knee

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 26:36

No

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 26:37

Oi, what were your thoughts on the enhanced games?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 26:39

about that. What a load of shit. But I made the one, the backstroke in that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 26:47

Well, yeah. Yeah, I know where you, I know where you... Yeah,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 26:50

even on anything,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 26:51

on anything.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 26:52

beat, he fucking beat

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 26:53

He was clean. He... Yeah, he beat them, he didn't just beat them all, he broke a re- he broke the world record. Yeah, and he wasn't on anything. I think it was the last, last swimming race. Well, the last swimming race, they fucking, um, the bloke won, like, $100,000 or something, or a million dollars because you... No. No, no, no. No. No, no, no. No, this is different. James Magnussen, who was, like, the Australian peanut boy for it, well, he was the one that put his hand up and said, "I'm gonna do this." He come last in every race. But, um,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 27:30

but coming last

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 27:32

yeah, no. Um, no, the, um, the last, last race that they did, old mate, they said that if anyone breaks a world record, they win a million dollars. And old mate broke the... He was the only one to break a world record at the Enhanced Games that was fucking on anything and won the million dollars. It was in the last race. No, no, it wasn't, it was a different bloke. Yeah. Yeah, no, it was a different one. So, but it doesn't count. It doesn't count as a world record because it doesn't meet the criteria of the world record. So when you look at it that way, it's kind of a whole... It's kind of pointless, you know what I mean? Like, it's... I don't think it... You still need the talent there. You can't just go and fucking shoot yourself up with talent

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 28:20

the, you can't just go and get whatever drugs you want. It was only what drugs were legal in America at that time or where- or wherever it was raced at. That was, yeah, that was the only rules. They could only use whatever drugs were legal over there for it. Yeah, they couldn't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 28:41

Yeah

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 28:41

and say, "All right, I'm gonna go pump myself with steroids, cocaine," fucking all that shit. They could only go for the stuff

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 28:49

Yeah. It was, I think it was all under a fucking, like, science fucking thing as well, like, to make sure that it wasn't gonna kill anyone. But yeah, so I don't know. It's an interesting thing. I don't, I don't really care much for it. I don't think it's gonna go anywhere after this. Like, they... It looked like a fucking backyard pool. There was only like fucking five or six fucking races in it.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 29:14

Mm-hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 29:14

look like an Olympic swimming pool. It looked like something in someone's backyard. So yeah. All right. Yous got anything else this week? Champions Leagues finals this week

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 29:26

Tottenham fucking didn't get relegated. They stayed in. Fucking, who was the other one? Um, fucking the team that missed out It

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 29:38

Was it Burnley?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 29:38

Could have been, but yeah, Tottenham fucking stayed in.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 29:44

Zach knows the answer, but he's fucking not talking to us

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 29:47

They only cut us off anyway

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 29:49

No, man. I didn't know you talking. I was talking

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 29:52

You did it to Hoover just then. You asked him about the enhanced games, he starts talking, you cut him off.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 29:59

That's

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 30:02

the-incoherent-podcast_1_05-28-2026_200734 30:04

Fuck. Ugh, I'm sitting there like, "What?"

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 30:17

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 30:32

Yeah, we can talk, Hoover.

do you wanna talk about?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 30:37

how nice and quiet it is now.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 30:41

So

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 30:41

Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 30:42

to the New South Wales side. Isaiah Yo to the front row beside Payne Haas.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 30:48

Yeah,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 30:49

Murray to start at lock

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 30:50

not a bad option really What are you thinking about for Neil Blake, Bart?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 30:55

Him and Barnett were both quiet in the first stint They, when they both come back on, they were better. So

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 31:02

Yeah, like

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 31:02

I don't know

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 31:03

probably with the six-man bench, if you have them in there, yeah, put them in the six-man bench and, yeah, bring them on as impact players. Like give Haas a break and fucking, yeah, put Feneran or Barnett on to just boost it up for 20 minutes, back off again

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 31:21

They probably will, but I don't think I'd... Yeah. Yo's gotta start. He's the captain. They're not gonna drop him So, and yous witnessed last night exactly what I've been saying about yo for the last five years He, he just wants,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 31:39

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 31:40

that's it. I witness it every time I watch him play for the Penrith Panthers. He just wants to be the link. He'll take a few runs, he'll make tackles But he won't do the hard ones coming out of their own end

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 31:56

Mainly dropped

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 32:00

How'd you go your tips last week, Hoover?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 32:01

got three out of five last week. You got, uh, you got four out of five,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 32:07

Better have a look, Johnson. You, you better have a look.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 32:12

Fucking,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 32:12

Where are you sitting, Johnson?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 32:14

don't scroll down that far to fucking look where Johnno's sitting

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 32:19

Um, Fisk, Fisky shot to the top 'cause he used his joker

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 32:23

Yeah. He fucking, he's got me. Did he use his joker or did he use, or did he get the-

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 32:31

Yeah, he used his joker 'cause he got eight points

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 32:34

picked a score too, didn't they? Cause I only, I only been watching the top of the table, and there's always been like a point where we've all been even, and the next minute fucking, yeah, he's, he's just taken off. I'm still sitting up there, but

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 32:50

Uh, oh, actually, no, Fisky got the weekly margin correct

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 32:54

one of them-- I knew one of them was zero No, you didn't. Well, yeah, righto. Fine. You're not allowed to use, use your joker if you can. If you're claiming you put it on for this, for last week's round, too easy. So you can have your f- you can have your four points, 'cause you only got two right

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:12

I actually don't think he did

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:14

someone got Z, someone got picked the margin.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:17

Yeah, Fisky got the ma- he guessed the margin, so he's got,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:21

It's

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:22

got that right

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:23

Yeah. Yeah. No,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:26

He didn't get them

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:27

one or

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:27

all right, I don't think.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:28

One of them, I think

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:30

He might have got-- He may have got them all right. I don't know

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:34

Mainly because of Hinds being out. Oh,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:38

Fisky got a perfect round So he got a bonus point for perfect round,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:43

So you got another,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:44

and he picked the margin.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:45

there.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:45

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:48

So

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:48

Oh,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:48

his two bonus points

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 33:50

Yeah

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 33:51

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 35:12

I can't believe they're only paying,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 35:14

yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 35:14

Thing is, they gotta win sooner or later Yeah. Hmm. No, they got They've got the Panther... Well, they've got the Broncos, and I think they've got the Panthers. Um, fucking, yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 35:32

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 35:35

I've gone the Raiders only because of the ground We- well, you know you still can change it.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 35:42

Go ahead,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 35:42

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 35:51

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 36:04

Mm-hmm. Yeah,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 36:05

Kurt Capewell will get dropped I am. I, I

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 36:10

This will be the decider. Yep.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 36:14

Won't be, because Cowboys will be playing in the decider

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 36:18

And

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 36:19

It wasn't as hard for me to pick against the Warriors That's because you've got more chance of seeing any of those other teams playing grand finals before the Knights

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 36:28

they won't make it this year is what you're saying, the Knights?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 36:32

Just, we've just knocked off the Roosters and South. We are arguably the, uh, the Cowboys Yeah, yous weren't missing Tom Deaden

five points behind me. He still can't jump me

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 43:24

Yeah. No, he will though because he-- cause I'm gonna get a perfect round and I'll jump you. That means he'll get the perfect round and he'll jump you. You'll get three wrong

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 45:17

It is

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 45:50

it's sad that he's been diagnosed with it and then less than a week later, the one that was l- like out there all about it for AFL, has been fighting it for the last 13 years, passes away not even a week after it's announced. Like, fuck. They were-- I think they were talking about doing to what the AFL do, the, the fucking ba- the ice challenge and all that. I think they were, they were gonna try and get involved in it and try and r- raise it between both of them

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 46:27

How did, how does the ice bucket challenge go, Johnson?

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 49:08

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 49:11

Uh, um Yeah, they're gonna cop a hiding from the Swans. And then the Broncos 13 plus Yeah, I don't think dragons are good enough to fight Stop that. Reece Wolf is gonna be out to fucking prove a point He's very

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 49:32

Fucking swallowed me own saliva the wrong way. Fuck. Jesus See you. Bye.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 49:42

And I thought Johnson was hungry

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 49:44

Oops Already got rid of Walsh

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 49:48

We got rid of Ponga

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 49:50

Walsh get a s- uh, Walsh couldn't get a start at Brisbane

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 49:54

We didn't offer him a contract

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 49:56

and then went back to Brisbane when he started playing good Yeah. Balls. Balls

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 50:04

He make, he makes both of them look stupid

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 50:06

Minichiello doesn't play for Queensland. Oh

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 50:10

I can't take either of them

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 50:12

Really, I would tell the truth, I don't want Ivor in my team. To go to the Warriors, I wouldn't want Ivor in 'cause fucking Reece Walsh makes too many fucking mistakes 'cause he tries Ex--

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 50:25

take Walsh

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 50:26

Ponger gets

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 50:26

Tupounga only because of Tupounga's injuries cause she was only watching half the game

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 50:33

So what, what does Rhys Walsh do then? When, when he, what does Rhys Walsh normally do when he's trying to save a try? Exactly. He does the exact same fucking tackle

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 50:45

They don't all do it They don't all do that tackle. Jarrym Buller leads with his toes and kicks players, and Drinkwater runs the opposite fucking direction

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 50:58

fucking legs out Not. Not

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 51:03

do. He come over top. He come over. If it's, if they're side by side, shoulder to shoulder, fair enough, fair play, but he--

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 51:13

Larry was on his fucking

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 51:15

Nah He,

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 51:16

Yeah, he was

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 51:16

there is because he come over the top and put his arm over his shoulder, which is pulling him back. Bit like the pipers on your back

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 51:27

Nah. Nah, 'cause Murray was on his back and pulled him like fucking... Yeah. Nah Oh. Yeah, they were both contending, but Do you want to ride, eh? For argument's sake, you've got Tyson Frizell Scotty Drinkwater. Tyson Frizell comes in, fucking shoulder charges Drinkwater out of the road, and then scores a try. You reckon that's fair?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 51:56

Wouldn't happen. Drink water's bigger

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 51:58

Yeah, but what I'm saying is fucking like the trial and he, Fridell just comes in and fucking like shoulder charges him to the side three meters and then fucking when they're both contending for the ball. Cause that's, that's what, that's what it would come down to. Like you think Latrell, Latrell's gonna fucking do it all the time to him Yeah.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 52:20

Trill ran straight out of Top of Pong, I remember. Like, completely like

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 52:26

Yeah. Yeah. Kaelin hit his head on the ground Mm. Plus I'm still hungry. Mm I'll, I'll do tipping, but I'm not picking teams Yeah, I did. I picked an origin team.

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 52:44

He's didn't even pick an Origin team.

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 52:46

I won mine. How many points you get?

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 52:49

Y- you're not in my league Yeah, I, I won mine too. I got 800. I got more, I got more in Origin than I did last week in normal Super Coach

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 53:02

The, yeah,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 53:26

the Origin's hard because your teams can be very similar to

squadcaster-26gg_1_05-28-2026_200732 53:30

yeah,

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 53:30

squadcaster-c974_1_05-28-2026_200737 55:43
