Tackles and Tinnies
Ah, that's better. So, Tackles and Tinney's listeners, for last Thursday, Gary was a potato. Tuesday on the 27th of May, we also have Jake, the potato. so last week, Chris, Jake, and i also recorded Fantasy File um episode.
00:00:20
Tackles and Tinnies
But Jake, a again, the potato, the OG potato, ah um lost internet. And we lost all last week's content, which was absolutely banger content.
00:00:30
Chris
Thank
00:00:31
Tackles and Tinnies
We had Origin chat. We had Buy Around chat. And then we'll just, okay. And then tonight, fast forward tonight, of May.
00:00:39
Chris
you.
00:00:39
Tackles and Tinnies
um chris jake and i we're popping off we're towing hot takes banter's flowing um origin chat's good chris got shit takes on new south wales stock standard um and then we get to the 30 minute mark and then jake the potato has struck again and had a corrupted file so um i'm not risking it we're redoing it and we're praying to the tackle and tinny gods with the full crack of the tin that we are making it through jake What have you got to say about this?
00:01:11
Jake
Hey mate, you know what they say when life throws you potatoes, make some grape fries or something. I dunno. So, um, hot chip sandwich mate. so yeah, look, I've two weeks in a row. I am the problem. I am the problem.
00:01:27
Jake
So, um, but yeah, we're giving it another hot crack. Um, we got plenty to say all good things. So yeah, let's, um, do another take two. Let's rip in.
00:01:40
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Chrissy, how are you, mate?
00:01:43
Chris
Not too bad. ah Jake, acknowledging that you're problem is step one, always. No, I've been good.
00:01:53
Chris
yeah Work's been busy, but yeah, no, I'm i'm very excited for it tomorrow evening.
00:01:58
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, 100%. I'm frothing at the mouth like a rabid ah pit bull terrier. um I'm actually going to the game tomorrow. So absolutely so keen. It's going to be a a long day at work trying to get through all the um excitement and all the kids, Yee-Haw and Chahoo and at me, all the New South Wales fans. But obviously, Tackles and Tinnies, they'll be ah listening that to get some good advice on Supercoach, that's for sure.
00:02:23
Tackles and Tinnies
um I think we get straight into Origin Chat, boys, or take two of Origin Chat. um What do we think of the teams, Chris? What are we thinking? New South Wales, Queensland.
00:02:35
Chris
Do want my hot take?
00:02:38
Tackles and Tinnies
Hot take, sounds good.
00:02:38
Chris
I think we, I think New South Wales, we win by, we win by 20. We win by 20. ah
00:02:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, he's staying with it.
00:02:44
Chris
Mitchell Moses.
00:02:48
Chris
Mitchell Moses, he's going to.
00:02:48
Tackles and Tinnies
Listeners. Listen, as he was he was backtracking. He's like, I don't know, 30 to 10 sounded pretty like Cap. No, he's sticking to it. Word of his... Man of his word.
00:02:59
Chris
No, I was thinking about maybe 20 wasn't enough. Maybe I was thinking maybe 30.
00:03:06
Chris
No, I think Mitchell Moses, you know, continues on where he left off in ground game three last year, obviously without the broken without broken arm or elbow, whatever it was last year.
00:03:17
Chris
I think that Latrell Mitchell is going to be just class. He's going to absolutely teach Bobby Toyer a lesson, hat-trick for sure, man of the match, and also he's going to end his media ban because he's just going to that happy. 30 to 10.
00:03:32
Tackles and Tinnies
just and yeah What do you reckon the score is? So you reckon still 30 to 10?
00:03:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Staying with that tape? Okay. Consistency creates greatness. Jake, what's your thoughts?
00:03:39
Chris
Yep.
00:03:46
Jake
ah Yeah, well, look, we're going to stick with consistency. um Yeah, following on mine then, I'm umm back in Munster, mate. um Queensland are winning this twenty four twenty four sixteen um And yeah, just having Munster back. is um He's been out out for Queensland over the past year or two.
00:04:06
Jake
And yeah, I don't think New South Wales are ah ready for the great five eights of Cam Munster to come out and yeah, do his thing. Um, he's a super dangerous flirt out there, mate. So yeah, he's going to be doing good things for Queensland and yeah, be ready for, be ready for some months to magic.
00:04:27
Jake
So it'll be good. Excited for it, mate.
00:04:29
Tackles and Tinnies
yep yep frothing at the mouth for sure um yeah hot take jake what's the score 24 16
00:04:38
Jake
Uh, yeah, 20, 24, 16 Queensland's way.
00:04:40
Tackles and Tinnies
twenty four sixteen
00:04:41
Jake
queensland's why Um, yeah, at Suncorp, game one, ready for it.
00:04:46
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. um I guess I've got to be consistent. So I said it was going to be a slow start. Oh, not slow start. i think it's going close affair at the start of the game. um I think the first 20 minutes is really going to dictate who's going to be coming on top.
00:04:59
Tackles and Tinnies
um The big explosive four pack of New South Wales versus the more mobile four pack of Queensland. um i think it's going like... probably 12 to six, New South Wales at halftime.
00:05:12
Tackles and Tinnies
And then typical Queensland underdogs coming on through. And I'm gonna say i'll be like 24 to 18 to Queensland. um in the second half. So yeah, Queens get the win. I'm going to say, yeah, I love the magic, magic Munster or the money man Munster shout out, Jake.
00:05:28
Tackles and Tinnies
um But I think KP as well. I think KP is ready to um let loose and regain some form. i said to Gazzy and Morgo last week on the ah podcast that I think ah Pong has just been hanging for the past couple of weeks, trying to get to a winning culture and winning team, get back around the boys. um I think it's going really rejuvenate him.
00:05:49
Tackles and Tinnies
And if we're looking at the spines,
00:05:51
Chris
I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the road.
00:05:53
Tackles and Tinnies
9-9, I think actually Queensland has the advantage um with the fullback position and at hooker. And I think that's going to be the difference with Harry Grant. Rhys Robson, Connor Watson are very good in their own right, but they're not Harry Grant. Harry Grant is an absolute gunman.
00:06:10
Tackles and Tinnies
He's a savant. He knows where the markers are always going to be. loves a little cheeky flop and I'll be flopping my like a dead salmon on the road trying to copy him. But yeah, I think Munster and Harry Grant, those Melbourne boys, yeah, they're going turn it on and Ponga is going to my man of the match.
00:06:27
Tackles and Tinnies
So yeah, Chris, is that an acceptable call or not?
00:06:34
Chris
Look, ah look i I'm going to back Dylan Edwards, the Australian fullback over KP every day of the week.
00:06:40
Tackles and Tinnies
And
00:06:42
Chris
um ah I do agree. i do think that, you know, Harry Grant, you know, he's definitely a lot better than, you know, Reece Robson and Connor Watson. But, you know, i look, honestly, like I'm just looking for clean service from from the two hookers, really. The faster they can pass the ball out to, you know, Mitchell Moses and Nathan Cleary, we've got enough creativity in the halves. We don't need...
00:07:02
Chris
You know, we don't need our hooker doing, you know, crazy things. I am very scared of Cam Munster, though. I do agree, Jakey. You know, that, you know, fifth tackle, he's going to kick the ball to Xavier Coates.
00:07:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank
00:07:14
Chris
I just hope that Zach Lomax is on because otherwise there could be a couple of tries to Xavier Coates. Obviously, there'll consolation tries, you know, at the end. But, you know, I'm a bit i' a bit concerned about that one.
00:07:24
Tackles and Tinnies
you.
00:07:26
Chris
I'll give you that.
00:07:31
Tackles and Tinnies
um Well, let's talk, I reckon, about ah guys who are a bit hard done by. I think one of them is um your boy, Chris, Appy Coruscant. And he's going to be a bit of a hot topic on ah the super coach section of this podcast later on.
00:07:44
Tackles and Tinnies
thought he was quite hard done by. I thought, yeah, he's probably the in-form hooker for New South Wales this year um overall. Reece Robson obviously is good in his own right, but yeah, more so that workhorse.
00:07:56
Tackles and Tinnies
And obviously Connor Watson is that ah that hybrid player you can chuck in. Yeah, I think, yes, you're saying yeah we have really classy and creative halves in Cleary and Moses.
00:08:08
Tackles and Tinnies
However, isn't that Daly, Sherry Evans and Cam Munster?
00:08:08
Chris
get started.
00:08:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Can't you argue the exact same thing? Harry Grant's as crafty as Apicoros, maybe be slightly less.
00:08:15
Chris
Oh.
00:08:18
Tackles and Tinnies
um But yeah, very, very crafty out dummy half. And I think he provides more punch than guy like Rhys Robson. And that's not saying Rhys Robson's a bad player at all, but...
00:08:31
Tackles and Tinnies
I think Appy Carousel is quite hard done, boy.
00:08:34
Chris
Oh, look i look, in that sense, I definitely agree. Like, i mean, he's, you know, so creative and just so sneaky, so much moxie, you know, out of half. i guess I guess, obviously, you know, Rhys Robson, he's, you know, he's an incumbent, you know, it's his jersey to lose and he hasn't done hen't done much wrong this year. You know, he's scored a couple of tries.
00:08:51
Chris
He's been really solid in defense and I and i you know i think that's what that's what we need, you know, as New South Wales, you know, we just need to you know we need to make sure we don't miss tackles you know appy you know appy is you know susceptible to missing tackles you know and you know and also reese from just that slightly bigger body you know you know to in that middle so i you know i get it it goes both ways but you know if you know when it comes to creativity i don't think we we have a depth of that we don't have enough of that in the new south wales team can't be kind of too many cooks you know you need to have a couple of indians yeah
00:09:22
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah fair enough Jake what are your thoughts on that Apicorosau take
00:09:27
Jake
Yeah, look, he's definitely, yeah, crafty is the the perfect word for happy. He's definitely ah definitely a danger man, very sneaky at what he does.
00:09:38
Jake
um So, yeah, but I i actually think Robson and Watson are the right picks for New South Wales. um I feel like Watson can bring a lot of energy. He's a great 14 for the Blues, um very versatile with,
00:09:55
Jake
Yeah, between hooker and lock mainly, but you can probably chuck him in second row centres in worst case scenarios and stuff like that, even at six six as well. So, um yeah, Watson for me is a ah definite.
00:10:08
Jake
um And yeah, Robson obviously probably has a, probably just plays that better defensive role and brings that hard work ethic, I think, for the Blues. So, um yeah, I can definitely understand how Appy has missed out. He's been there before and he is one of the one of the boys who is getting a little bit older. so Yeah, the Blues did a job last year and that was with Robson and Watson. So, um yeah, I can definitely understand them getting the pick.
00:10:38
Tackles and Tinnies
there um You could also argue that you just go full pan Penrith Panthers of old and have Dylan Edwards, Critter, Appy, Cleary, Isaiah Yeo, Liam Martin. song Just go full Penrith Panthers. Why not?
00:10:56
Tackles and Tinnies
but
00:10:56
Jake
Yeah, just bring our Brad Fittler back as coach then, I reckon as well, just do it.
00:11:00
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:11:01
Jake
So...
00:11:01
Tackles and Tinnies
True. True. um um Another player I thought was quite hard done by was Corey Horsburgh.
00:11:06
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:11:08
Tackles and Tinnies
um from the Canberra's for Queensland. Yeah, and know I'll get through my interchange take shortly, but what do you guys think about ah Corey Horsborough Big Red, Jakey, about not getting in as a Queensland supporter?
00:11:22
Jake
Yeah, look, if... If Hawesborough makes it, probably the only man you release from that starting 17 is Trent Loyero. So, um yeah, look, I'm all for inability to trust.
00:11:38
Jake
So you could probably say that, yeah, he has a might have a soft spot for Trent just through that Melbourne Storm connection there.
00:11:38
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank you.
00:11:49
Jake
um but Trent has definitely been a part the Queensland camp, I know, for a couple of years now. So he's obviously doing a good job um and Billy likes what he sees there. so if Corey has missed his chance, if you're competing against essentially no Tino, Lindsay, um I guess out of those kind of like starting props when we've got Cotter and Carrigan,
00:12:14
Jake
in that second row and lock as well, who can both slot into that prop position too. I can kind of understand how Corey's missed out. Um, so yeah, look, anyone who's kind of like on the, on the fringe of making it for state rep, you're always going to feel a little bit hard done by that you've missed out or whatnot, but yeah, you just need to keep working for it. So, um,
00:12:41
Jake
Yeah, um the more I look at actually the teams, um I think they're both, they're all in all, they're great picks. I am, yeah, very excited for tomorrow night. It's going to be great, great contest.
00:12:53
Chris
Yeah, I do.
00:12:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Well, it's a good one.
00:12:54
Chris
I do.
00:12:54
Tackles and Tinnies
like
00:12:54
Chris
Yeah. No, I do. I do feel bad for Corey Horsburgh, but I think last week's performance against ah new zealand New Zealand Warriors actually just perfectly encapsulated as to why he's missed out.
00:13:06
Chris
You know, that sin binning, you know, that was completely unnecessary. He's just a bit of a liability. And, you know, and on, you know, the state of origin. you know, field, that's the, that's the biggest stage. And, you know, and, and just a sin binning, you know, I can imagine, you know, Liam Martin, Angus Crieden, they're just going to goad to him. And if he loses his cool and he gets sin binned, that's the game over.
00:13:27
Chris
It's as simple as that, you know.
00:13:27
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:13:29
Chris
um I do want to ah take a shout out for my man, Terrell May, who has missed out. Justice for May.
00:13:38
Chris
um ah he's I think he's been the five but by far wide the second best prop in the game this year behind Payne Haas throwing up very similar numbers. And, you know, I'm sad he's missed out.
00:13:49
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:13:50
Chris
You know, we could have literally had two 80-minute hookers. Well, not exactly, but, you know, and we wouldn't even need a bench, honestly. Okay.
00:13:57
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, literally. um Yeah, tell me, obviously hard done by 100%. um Max King, he was obviously a probably 50-50 call for Laurie Daly, but again, he's the coach.
00:14:10
Tackles and Tinnies
He sees more than we do, and I'm assuming Craig Bellamy was obviously in his ear a little bit as well, and ah the super coaches there would
00:14:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:14:18
Tackles and Tinnies
empathise with that. But again, most of us have Corey Horsburgh and our super coach team. So I guess that's somewhat of a win um in that regard. But I think the Queensland team, ah because we we haven't got a, what's his name?
00:14:32
Tackles and Tinnies
ah Gilbert. Gilbert did his pec injury.
00:14:33
Jake
behind all
00:14:35
Tackles and Tinnies
He's that kind of guy that brings that mongrel, um that Liam Martin-esque type player. So when Gilbert's out with a pec, I thought Corey Hawesbrough would then be almost a lock to bring that fiery intensity um to hype the boys up.
00:14:49
Tackles and Tinnies
But yeah, I can understand the liability side of things, but you also got to remember not as many calls happen in origin. So there is a bit more gear, a little bit more niggle. Um, so yeah, yeah, see how we go. I got, there's one thing I want to say about the Queensland team.
00:15:05
Tackles and Tinnies
I, I like the selections, but again, an interchange bench for me, you should have utility. So didn't, okay. Makes sense, I guess. Um, You're an out-front row, so Lindsay Collins, that makes sense.
00:15:19
Tackles and Tinnies
um Then we've got Beau Furmore, like your second-row centaur utility sort of player. Yeah, makes sense, and obviously in great form as well. Could argue he'll be starting. And then Trent Liero coming off the bench.
00:15:31
Tackles and Tinnies
Don't like that at all. I said that in our first version of this podcast. However... Trent Lier for me, he's that guy, just he's a workhorse. He's Nate Miles 2.0 in my eyes.
00:15:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:43
Tackles and Tinnies
He's not the guy coming on trying to gangbust a Spencer Linu or um a Gus Croydon. You're not going to have that impact. So what's his role then? like Isn't his role to take the heavy duty, rid of those like crappy hit-ups at the start game, just absolute workhorse and defense,
00:16:01
Tackles and Tinnies
um he'd be better starting at lock. And then we just go Patty Carrigan straight into the front row, Tino, Pat Carrigan, arguably like two of the best five front rowers in rugby league currently against Mitchie Barnett and Payne Haas. That's the contest.
00:16:16
Tackles and Tinnies
I think all fans would probably prefer to see. um And then obviously Liero can take that sting out of the game and then you get that good foot speed with Lindsay Collins or Fodawaker. I think that helps the dynamic of the team a lot more.
00:16:30
Tackles and Tinnies
And hey, tell you what, there could be a late change tomorrow. No word on that, obviously, because I don't know any key Queensland selectors, but I think it's a good shout, to be honest.
00:16:41
Chris
you
00:16:42
Tackles and Tinnies
um Is there any other origin takes before we are move on to Supercoach, Jakey?
00:16:48
Jake
Nah, not from me. um Yeah, that Trent chat, I definitely um understand your thoughts there, Ryan, but I think just being a debutant as well, um yeah, you probably want your experienced boys maybe out there to start it.
00:16:52
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank
00:17:05
Jake
um Yeah, there's there's definitely plenty of options that Billy can do. But, yeah, I definitely understand your point but point of view there. so But, yeah, all in all nothing nothing really else from me that except, yeah, enjoy seeing Queensland win to tomorrow live, mate.
00:17:22
Jake
ah
00:17:23
Tackles and Tinnies
I will. Chris, you.
00:17:25
Chris
Oh, look, my look ah only question I really have for you guys is, you know, what changes are you guys going to make to the team when you guys are like one zero tomorrow for game 2 in Perth?
00:17:35
Tackles and Tinnies
um
00:17:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Banta, banta.
00:17:40
Jake
How good.
00:17:40
Tackles and Tinnies
All right. Straight hypothetical. Straight hypothetical. If Selwyn Kobo is healthy, What's the shout of putting Selwyn Cobbler on the bench and Tom Nid on the bench?
00:17:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Do we like that or not?
00:17:55
Tackles and Tinnies
Chris or Jake, it matter.
00:17:56
Jake
I look. Yeah, I
00:18:01
Jake
I don't know if I even love Tom Dearden on the bench. For me, he's my 18th man and I'd probably put Kurt Mann at 14 just for that more versatile role.
00:18:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Hmm.
00:18:11
Jake
i Yeah, I reckon Dearden's a great player. Yeah, brings a lot ah lot of good traits to his game, hard worker, all effort. um But yeah, I'm all about, I guess, I think that versatility.
00:18:26
Jake
And yeah, to be honest, having Selwyn at 17 as well at the same time, I wouldn't hate it. I've always really liked, ever since Billy put him at 17 that year that Walsh went down and we had Cubo on that 17 jersey just ready.
00:18:42
Jake
it um It just seems so right. So um yeah, I don't hate it now. so But yeah, I've i've got now got no problem with it essentially.
00:18:54
Chris
I'm with Jake.
00:18:54
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank you.
00:18:54
Chris
i I really like it. you know um You know, Billy did it once before. Why not again? i feel really, really great Jake in the sense that I actually think that Selvin Cobb is much better 14 than Tom did. And honestly, I, I really, I really struggle to see what Tom's role will be tomorrow.
00:19:18
Chris
And obviously, you know, that being said, but we're not, Billy knows, Billy knows the team better and I'm really excited for tomorrow. Yeah.
00:19:26
Tackles and Tinnies
but What's the difference between having Daly Cherry Evans or Cooper Cronk at 14 over the years, boys? Like there's really no difference. You've got to halfback five a coming off the bench and they've it's been proven for like over 15 years now that that role has worked.
00:19:43
Tackles and Tinnies
Is that a fair call, Chris?
00:19:46
Chris
ah Not my area of expertise, but ah sure. Yeah.
00:19:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:19:51
Chris
Jakey.
00:19:54
Jake
Look, for me, it was just... um I think it was just bringing in Cooper Cronk and DCE, just into the to the dynasty, essentially. That's all I can clearly remember. just like, hey, learn from Lockyard, learn from JT and those six and sevens, get your experience up.
00:20:14
Jake
We'll chuck you on for the last 15 when we're winning twenty nowll or whatever it's going to be kind of thing. And, yeah, just follow through. So...
00:20:21
Tackles and Tinnies
Yes.
00:20:21
Jake
um Yeah, I can't remember exactly all the games back then. And yeah, it's it's definitely a fair point. um You look at Cooper Cronk, he's essentially that halfback role for his career.
00:20:34
Jake
And yeah, we used to treat him as a 14 as well. So um that's obviously why we're no superstar coaches or anything like that. So yeah, it's it's definitely, yeah, a great point of view there again, Ryan.
00:20:49
Jake
So it it could be the right move this year.
00:20:49
Tackles and Tinnies
On fire tonight, Luis.
00:20:54
Tackles and Tinnies
um But with with the Selwyn Cobbo take, it's that type of player. so
00:20:59
Chris
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:21:00
Tackles and Tinnies
his body shape and size, that's the only exception that I would say because I'd feel quite comfortable if I was Billy Slater. 10, 15 minutes,
00:21:10
Jake
Bye.
00:21:11
Tackles and Tinnies
you're in the middle if you have to. And obviously an outside back goes down that speak for itself. um But I'd feel more than comfortable putting Cobbo at second row or putting it lock. No worries.
00:21:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Big enough, strong enough. Obviously I'm having a bit off loads there as well. could be a, a game breaker too. And obviously could be a very good link man as well. um Good passing game at fullback for the Broncos as well.
00:21:33
Tackles and Tinnies
But yeah, who knows? Game two, but we won't need to make a change because obviously Queensland are winning. So I'll move on quickly.
00:21:39
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:21:40
Tackles and Tinnies
So Chris can't make a take, but let's segue to... um Will these boys be backing up? So obviously it's Tuesday right now. It's the 27th of May.
00:21:51
Tackles and Tinnies
um TLT came out and pretty much everyone has been named to back up. So players like Payne Haas, that's a big surprising one for me. Jake, what's thoughts on all the um Origin boys backing up?
00:22:04
Jake
Yeah, i I think they will be backing up. They've obviously all been named, but you never know what kind of what happens after Origin. But providing there's no major injuries, I think I was saying earlier, a lot of the teams who have the stars in and the Origin teams this year um aren't really the the top four sides.
00:22:30
Jake
Yeah. Yeah, you can hit like an easy call out is that Panthers team with I think five fine players in the Blues squad and I believe they've all been named um because yeah, their season isn't doing too great. So yeah, state of origin is huge. You want to do your best for your state, but yeah, there's there's still obviously a lot to care about at club level.
00:22:52
Jake
So I can imagine a lot of these boys, and they've got amongst it, had a huge week in camp, and they want to come back and support their team and try and get a win over the weekend. So I see them backing up.
00:23:04
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Chris, you?
00:23:06
Chris
Yeah, ah same as Jakey. I reckon most of them will will back up. Most have history as well. you know, Zach Lomax, we'll probably talk about later today as well. ah But I would be surprised if Payne Haas backed up, maybe maybe off the bench possibly, you know especially with that ah that quad injury. And I only started running, I think, on Sunday, if I'm not correct.
00:23:29
Tackles and Tinnies
Crazy. Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:30
Chris
Yeah, even you know even if he does play, especially if he does play does play and he does pull up okay, why risk him? you know If he re-injures that quad, he's out for a lot longer, and that really hurts the Broncos. he's Also, they're playing against Manly this week.
00:23:41
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:23:45
Chris
you know And they didn't look very inspired again against Para last week.
00:23:50
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah I think the biggest thing to also note is that the league is so close. Like the Titans are doing so trash, but they're literally like what, two wins away from being like sixth place or something.
00:24:02
Tackles and Tinnies
So yeah, it's it's definitely wide open. And we spoke of this earlier on in the season um on the main podcast, but transparency throughout any sort of league is particularly league that we love in the NRL.
00:24:14
Tackles and Tinnies
You can go to any sort of game and any team can sort of win. And I think last week was the first time since 2017, I might be misquoting this, but yeah, since 2017 that every single underdog won the game.
00:24:27
Tackles and Tinnies
So that's pretty crazy. um But yeah, in terms of boys backing up, yeah, I think most the interchange boys coming off both benches will obviously back up. I'm bit surprised with Nathan Cleary because um he his daddy, Ivan Cleary, stayed in. Well, again, shit take by Adam most likely because he told me this.
00:24:47
Tackles and Tinnies
But Ivan Cleary i said that Nathan Cleary won't be backing up. But I think due to the fact that the Panthers have to win games, and I think they have to win like something crazy like 80% plus of their games to actually make the finals.
00:25:00
Tackles and Tinnies
um he has to back up. Yeah, haven't got that luxury. So as super coaches, most of us do have Nathan Cleary and um guys like of his caliber. So fantastic in regards to that because I know like yourselves, boys, I've been max trading sort of every single week. um So yeah, guys like Payne Haas and Tino who I don't plan on ever trading out, I don't have to do that or even think about that, which is absolutely unreal.
00:25:26
Tackles and Tinnies
um That old set and forget mindset. ah Jake, is there any ah further origin chit-chat you want to go on before we get back to the ah main potty?
00:25:37
Jake
ah No, nothing specifically when it comes to I guess like trade potentials and all that kind of stuff. I reckon and Origin will kind of come into it further on. But yeah, as for the moment, I'm good.
00:25:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, Chris?
00:25:53
Chris
Oh, Ryan, in defense of our good colleague, Adam the scumbag, um I will say that. I think i think Ivan Cleary came out and talked about, um I think game two. I think Adam was throwing just to game two where I think they play in Perth and I think Perth and then Penrith have like a two or three day turnaround to go down to New Zealand.
00:26:13
Chris
I think they said, I think he said it was just game two. Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:15
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, well, it's saved.
00:26:16
Chris
Not game one. That's why Adam's keeping Cleary for 13 and 14.
00:26:21
Tackles and Tinnies
I'll reverse trade my scumbag call then. So well done, Adam. Good take. ah Yeah. So yeah, or i
00:26:27
Chris
Well done, Adam, scumbag.
00:26:29
Tackles and Tinnies
but might be forced trade. We don't know.
00:26:34
Tackles and Tinnies
But yeah, origin obviously is a big thing. um But I think we haven't even talked about how we went last week. So Chris, how'd you score, mate? what What happened last week for you?
00:26:44
Chris
ah Last week was a bit of a down week for me. um i i scored 896. I dropped 552 spots to 1399. I managed to scrape 14 players on the field i ah by making three trades.
00:27:02
Chris
ah Those trades were Ponga to Turbo. He scored 72. ah Dylan Egan to Joey Taps for 58. And Jacob Kiraz for Aaron Clark. And he scored 65. And he was also a captain.
00:27:14
Chris
I had a down week mostly because most my pods didn't score. I played Tom Jenkins, ah Billy Smith, Nicker and Conor Tracy. Casey McLean, absolutely cock blocked.
00:27:27
Chris
ah Tom Jenkins on numerous occasions. ah It's so annoying. I don't know why kept him.
00:27:33
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, boy.
00:27:34
Chris
Nicker went missing against an understrength Roosters team. But... ah Connor Tracy, I didn't think he could score badly again you know and repeat his score of 27 last week, but then he came back and he scored 18 and again dropped out of my team.
00:27:51
Chris
ah Regrets, boys. Regrets. I should have listened to you guys. You guys tried to help me and I just didn't listen.
00:27:55
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. Tackles and tedious listeners. We were telling Chris about ah the mid-man, better known as Connor Tracy, um overrated as can be in regards to super coach, but Jake's probably frothing because he's got the dual position, but yeah, never liked that call. um But yeah, that backfires for you, mate. So we'll see.
00:28:18
Tackles and Tinnies
Hang on. I'm poor. Technical difficulties.
00:28:22
Chris
Jake, it's not you this time!
00:28:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Don't do
00:28:25
Tackles and Tinnies
Success. We're back. Nope. I think we're good. Yep.
00:28:30
Jake
You there, mate?
00:28:30
Chris
ah you're still You're still yellow for me.
00:28:30
Jake
Looks
00:28:32
Tackles and Tinnies
There, boys.
00:28:32
Chris
You're still yellow for me.
00:28:32
Tackles and Tinnies
ah We leave this in the Tackles and Teams. We run this live, boys. This is what happens when we use the internet. But yes, I think we're good. So... um record manager contact take a say experience
00:28:48
Jake
like it's recording, mate.
00:28:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, we're back on. Okay. Hello, Declos and Tinny's listeners. but Yeah, there's going to be an interesting re-listen to. um having a connection issues. It's not Jake. I actually might be joining the trifecta with um Gary and Jake in terms of full potato mode.
00:29:08
Tackles and Tinnies
um But Jake, how's your team going, mate?
00:29:12
Jake
My team? Sorry, what was that?
00:29:13
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, mate. Yeah, how's your team going?
00:29:17
Jake
ah Yeah, look, not a bad week. I feel like my team's doing pretty good overall. um Last week, I ended up scoring 1035.
00:29:25
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank you.
00:29:28
Jake
So, yeah, like semi-happy with it. Happy definitely hit that 1000 mark. But... um but Yeah, ended up making three trades plus the boost.
00:29:42
Jake
So four trades last week just with that little scare around Dylan Lucas maybe not playing with um with his injuries that has been going on. So um did a cheeky vice captain on Fletcher Sharp, which I think I obviously looped in the end. And that obviously was a big save for me.
00:30:03
Jake
Um, but yeah, I brought in Jason Saab, um, should have gone the opposite winger in Lehigh. Um, yeah, that one, that one definitely hurts.
00:30:10
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:30:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:13
Jake
And the only reason that trade happened was because of that Lucas scare. Um, but yeah, I recall bringing Hosking as well. Um, and Kaleiro as well.
00:30:27
Jake
So, um, yeah, in terms my four trades, um, Yeah, all in all, not too bad, but felt like I burnt through them when I didn't really need to.
00:30:37
Jake
And that's made me incredibly conscious just for the next buy round, for round 15. But yeah, all in all, team's good. few green arrows, jumped up about 7,000, sitting around that 21,000 mark now.
00:30:53
Jake
um And yeah, that team value is sitting at around 16, high 16.3. yeah, it's good, feeling good
00:31:01
Tackles and Tinnies
Laughing. Laughing all the way to the bank, mate. 16.3. Very, very good. Jake, imagine if you're just committed to um being an overall player. What could have been?
00:31:12
Jake
what What was that sorry, Ryan?
00:31:14
Tackles and Tinnies
was going to say imagine if you committed at the start of the season being a full overall player instead of just head-to-head because you did that mid-round pitch.
00:31:22
Jake
Yeah, well, I wouldn't be doing very good.
00:31:24
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:31:26
Jake
Yeah, so um yeah, look, i maybe one season I'll jump on that overall train, but yeah, head to head, mate, it's just, it's where my heart soul is at, mate, when it comes to super coach.
00:31:31
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:31:38
Jake
So i I was two from two this week, so. Yeah, I'll take it, mate. Love the head-to-head. Just give me that give me the wins each week.
00:31:43
Tackles and Tinnies
You and Tupolotti, mate.
00:31:45
Jake
Make it competitive.
00:31:48
Tackles and Tinnies
You and Tupolotti, mate, the money man.
00:31:48
Jake
So, yeah, look. Yeah, I've definitely... I have made two trades this week, and he's he's not one of them. But there is a dragon in my team.
00:32:00
Jake
So, which, when we start talking trades, we we'll definitely jump on that. So...
00:32:05
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. um So listeners, I actually did pretty good this week. I scored the best out of um these boys here. I managed to 1052. um Standard Ryan, max trading every single week. It wouldn't be tackles and tinnies about Ryan, max trading.
00:32:19
Tackles and Tinnies
So currently I'm ranked 3934 with have a similar team value of 16.4 million.
00:32:19
Chris
Thank you.
00:32:27
Tackles and Tinnies
um i made similar trades to the other boys. I i did Ponga to Turbo, which I was happy with. Obviously he's not playing this weekend, but Again, with a 72, I'm very happy with.
00:32:38
Tackles and Tinnies
And then last episode of Fantasy Files, which didn't get uploaded due to um Potato Boy, a.k.a. Jake, um... Yeah, due to that, Jake's lost. He's back.
00:32:50
Tackles and Tinnies
and Yeah, again, point proven. Due to Potato Boy Jake. um We were talking about ah Herbie Farmworth or Eero and we were tossing up all week and I did pull the trigger on KL Eero.
00:32:59
Chris
Thank you.
00:33:03
Tackles and Tinnies
So I'll take that. That was a great trade. Turbo, happy with as well. And then my last trade, traded for Aaron Clark. So Aaron Clark was also a very, very good trade for Dylan Egan.
00:33:16
Tackles and Tinnies
um So my three trades, thought were pretty good. yeah ah Going off Clark's current role, he's a set and forget, he's a season keeper. Calero, same thing, set and forget, season keeper.
00:33:27
Tackles and Tinnies
So yeah, trades overall really, really good. It's just, yeah, the turbo factor, who knows? It's just a scary prospect. um did and yeah So you did turbo, Chris.
00:33:38
Tackles and Tinnies
You didn't do that, Jake, did you?
00:33:41
Jake
Nah, mate, that was a nice cheeky fade from me in my opinion. 72 is not a bad score from Turbo, but yeah, he would have dropped a ah little bit of money.
00:33:46
Tackles and Tinnies
Uh...
00:33:52
Jake
So yeah, if he was playing this week, he was would have been a good buy, but ended up being not named because once again, he's ah carrying an injury.
00:34:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. But he is also probably a B stick away from getting a hundred points. Like didn't get that try himself, which you normally would score. Um, did that draw and pass the Leo Harper wide. He was like centimeters away from scoring.
00:34:19
Tackles and Tinnies
Um, and that 72 could be turning into a hundred plus. So you've got a hundred plus, everyone would be Yahoo and chirping. But again, that's footy. Um, what else can we say boys?
00:34:31
Tackles and Tinnies
Um, Chris, we'll go straight to you, mate, in terms of buys for this week.
00:34:37
Chris
Yeah, well, this week there are a lot of buys available and it's tough, especially if you don't have a boost. um I think we definitely just have to start off with Keon Kaloma-Tangi.
00:34:51
Chris
he's got break even 21. He's the number one traded in this week. most traded in this week He's been averaging 84 in base ah since he moved to front row forward two weeks ago.
00:35:03
Chris
He also plays round 15 and round 18, so both the major buys, ah but misses round 19. I think you have to watch for tomorrow ah because he is at origin risk if some of the forwards go down for New South Wales. But in my opinion, I think he's the must-buy of this round.
00:35:21
Chris
ah For comparison, ah Terrell May and Payne Haas, they're averaging 66 and 60 in base. So that's 20 less than Keon Kala Matangi.
00:35:32
Chris
ah There's a whole bunch of other people that you want to think about buying this week. Eli Katoa, Dylan Lucas, Fletcher Sharp. ah If you didn't get them in last week, you definitely should this week.
00:35:45
Chris
Lehi Hoppawati, he's the third ah third most traded in. ah Zach Lomax and even Jerome Hughes, who is playing your team, ah the Titans this week.
00:35:58
Chris
Thoughts.
00:36:00
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, man, I'm shitting my pants about the ah yeah ah storm, but I would like to hear Jake's take first.
00:36:06
Jake
Yeah, there's there's definitely, I agree with Chris on a lot of lot of ones there. Yeah, KK, Kuo Mutangi. um Yeah, definitely great buy opportunity this week.
00:36:20
Jake
I would love to bring him in, but I actually don't know if I will be at this stage. um My two trades this week are a bit off cuff, I think.
00:36:35
Jake
One is is credit to you, Ryan, that you mentioned in Happy Curacao. um Yeah, playing 80 minutes at the moment with no De Silva on the bench there.
00:36:47
Jake
um i think he got 80 last week or the week before, sorry. um Yeah, negative eight break even. That's, yeah, that's my man for sure.
00:36:57
Jake
So as soon as um you mentioned that one, Ryan, the chat, checked him out and yeah, that's that's meant for me.
00:37:01
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:37:03
Jake
so I've moved things around, Sandin Smith down to halfback, got rid of Dylan Brown, and in comes Appy. That gives me some good future planning for round 15. Tigers don't play, but the Roosters do. So now I've got a half back.
00:37:18
Jake
So for that round. And then, yeah, I guess my my odd one for this week.
00:37:25
Tackles and Tinnies
Wild.
00:37:26
Jake
I haven't been on him all season and he had a great run for a bit there. And that is Clint Gutherson. um I've traded out KP, bringing in Gutho.
00:37:32
Tackles and Tinnies
why
00:37:37
Jake
14 break even at home against the Knights. Knights had a good week last week, but if KP backs up after Origin, look, they might crumble again. Knights haven't been a superstar team.
00:37:51
Jake
I'm ready for Gutho to actually have a good week.
00:37:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Wild. ah Chris, we can't do it again. Old man Gutho, we slanted him too much. We've gone too far. I think the trade wouldn't go through on Supercoach.
00:38:07
Chris
Hey, before we talk about Gufo, man, you know, you're hot, mate. No key on absolute hot take. I don't think you're, I don't think your hot take of Queensland winning this week is is is the big hot take. No key on man. That's crazy. But look, look, look, Jake, I do really like Clint Gufferson, if I'm being honest. Like I did notice on Teabless Tuesday ah that, uh, uh,
00:38:34
Chris
Christian Tua Pilatu is back on the left wing.
00:38:37
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank
00:38:37
Chris
And ah yes, money and Ryan. And ah honestly, like, you know, Chef Gufo, he's just got so... Oh, he could just be free tri-assist per game all over again, and he just could be killing it.
00:38:52
Chris
Yeah. um Yeah. It's actually not a but bad buy at all. ah Yeah. It's just the issues I've got. ah I've got Turbo. So I don't know if I can afford to trade to him again.
00:39:04
Chris
this full back real it's killing me right
00:39:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, I can't do it, mate. Like, I can't go back and forth. ah My last year's Cardinal sin was just flipping player back and forth, back and forth. um The Titans boys know had a soft spot for AKP, better known as Khan Pereira.
00:39:22
Tackles and Tinnies
I think I did old Rock and Diamond bloody three trades in one season when I first started Supercoach. I can't do that Cardinal sin again with...
00:39:30
Chris
yes
00:39:31
Tackles and Tinnies
um uh clink gutherson and again we slanted him too much it's like nico hines i probably shouldn't have traded um nico hines out but again we've committed and i can't do that for lincoln but jakey when you said the gutho shout it's actually not too bad so and i post this in our group chat boys but when tool piloto again he might be the magic man himself or the money man him and monster the money man um Tua Piloto, when he was playing ah with Gutherson, Gutherson managed to score 113, 146, 47, 130, 54.
00:40:05
Tackles and Tinnies
Maybe Tua Piloto is the key to Clint Gutherson's success. And um obviously with our Val Holmes probably backing up, that's going be that left-edge dynamic trio that we could be talking about.
00:40:18
Tackles and Tinnies
Could be huge.
00:40:20
Jake
Yeah, i I really hope so. um if If it does take Tui to be playing for Gutho to get three digits, I'm all for it. So he is back this week. I've decided to even chuck the the vice captain on Gutho as well, just for the first first game of the round. So I'm throwing everything at him at the moment.
00:40:41
Jake
um Yeah, I do have a boost up my sleeve. So look, I could do something like a Corey Hawesbrough um to Kulonwutangi because that was definitely another option for me.
00:40:53
Jake
But I just think I want to hold that boost just for that just-in-case moment. So... so Yeah, someone needs to miss out. You can't get everyone each week. I'm definitely using two trades this week. I do not want to be using a third.
00:41:09
Jake
But I think just with the Dragons playing that round 15, that's definitely been like a ah good point for me to bring in Gutho.
00:41:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:41:18
Jake
Get rid of KP for me. He has let me down a little bit in terms of super coach. this season so far. And I just, I just see him being involved with Maroons definitely for the Orygman series.
00:41:30
Jake
So I think it's not a bad time to get rid of him.
00:41:31
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:41:34
Jake
Um, and yeah, hopefully Gutho can do a job, but back to like different trades as well. And, um, there is There's heaps. like I know you mentioned Lomax as well there, Chris.
00:41:46
Jake
For me, another one, if people are considering Lomax, I know he's a lot more consistent, I guess, but he will be caught up with Origin. um And if someone if you've got the depth in your team and you're looking for a another Origin player, Xavier Coates,
00:42:04
Jake
If he backs up after Wednesday night, they're up against the Gold Coast Tynes this week. um Storm could easily be whipping out another 64 points against a Tynes team that get nothing, just like the Tigers a couple of weeks ago.
00:42:22
Jake
So Coates has even got a negative break-even.
00:42:22
Tackles and Tinnies
you.
00:42:25
Jake
He's at a high price of 700 grand. I think he's got a break-even of negative 12 or 24, think I saw earlier. So, yeah, it comes down to how many trades, what your team's looking like. But, um yeah, for that shout-out on Lomax, I'm um' um jumping on that Queensland side, mate. Xavier Coates, he's the better buy.
00:42:44
Jake
He's the better buy.
00:42:47
Tackles and Tinnies
He might not kick him, but he can definitely catch him, that's for sure.
00:42:51
Jake
So, yeah, it's good.
00:42:54
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, ah I think the key on non-buy is just absolutely wild. Like, you've got to get him in, Jake. And again, you're not head you're not overall, so again, you're not going to go like with the pack.
00:43:06
Tackles and Tinnies
But he's just so good. Like, he's so, so good. going so much money. um He's going to get that dual position in round 18. I know you love a dual, Jakey. So if that doesn't incentivize you, mate, I don't know what will.
00:43:18
Jake
Yeah, I do love a duel.
00:43:19
Chris
The B apparently is not low enough. 21 is not low enough for Jakey to convince him.
00:43:21
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:43:23
Jake
Oh, it's low. It's low, but it's not as low as a 14 or a negative eight. That's the problem. That's the problem. I'm looking at it. So don't you talk to me about BEs. I got my numbers in order. I promise. I promise.
00:43:37
Jake
So, yeah. it Look, that's tough. Like, speaking of low BEs, Lehigh, Hopawadi, obviously, he's back at fullback with Turbo out this week.
00:43:48
Jake
And he's got a three. um if If I don't play Gutho, Lehigh could definitely be that man and fallback for me this week too.
00:43:52
Chris
Thank you.
00:43:57
Jake
So, yeah, both of the Storm boys, Eli Katawa, for those who don't have him, Jerome Hughes, same thing. um
00:44:05
Tackles and Tinnies
you.
00:44:05
Jake
But once again, you just be mindful of that round 15 bye because Storm won't be playing that one. So... um Yeah, there there is. There is a lot of good buys this week.
00:44:17
Jake
So, yeah you just need to have a look around. Even, I don't think it's like definitely a great buy, but I even just quickly had a look at AJ, JC. um they can do a job for the Titans. They're two main men. JC's got a break even, I think, of 76 AJ about So depending on where they work, they both got duels and yeah, I do love a duel. So just a little shout out to some local love for the Titans there. So, but yeah, plenty of trades, plenty of trades this week. So yeah, it's good.
00:44:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, do as a Titans boy, because I did CTLT, Brimo is not at fullback this week or not starting there. When he's at fullback, absolutely love it. Again, I don't mind him at five a better than at center. But at 5'8", nowhere near as is impactful. And again, sort of like Fletcher Sharp-esque. You chuck them back into fullback, he's a totally different player.
00:45:11
Chris
Hmm.
00:45:11
Tackles and Tinnies
um Do you reckon there could be potentially late change for the Titans with... um What's his name?
00:45:21
Jake
with Foran coming in?
00:45:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, 4-1 into 5-8 and then obviously De Groot going to the bench. That's the guys looking forward. De Groot.
00:45:29
Jake
Yeah, look, it could it could definitely happen. um ah haven't looked at their extended bench, maybe DeGroote even drops out kind of thing. um But it would be interesting to see what happens there with Foran at 14, I think, this weekend.
00:45:46
Jake
um you could You could maybe even just get half an hour or something out of DeGroote at fullback and then ejects Vaughan, who obviously might struggle to get 80 minutes coming back from his injuries especially.
00:45:55
Tackles and Tinnies
Mm-hmm.
00:46:01
Jake
um And yeah, if you give him maybe 50 minutes to lead the lead the team around for the back end, um AJ obviously you could just go straight back to that one and DeGroote just kind of sits on the bench in case of any injuries.
00:46:14
Jake
So um don't know what Dez has got in store this week. He's got a tough, tough game ahead of him though. um And yeah, but he needs to try something.
00:46:26
Jake
He definitely needs to try something. So ah want that upset win. I want all the Storm boys to be rested. and want Cam not playing. I want Grant not playing. um yeah trend mate after your debut just have another rest so um yeah do do a job mate get get a hat trick or something off the bench for queensland and then yeah just just let it be mate yeah let let the tits get the upset this weekend it'd be great
00:46:53
Tackles and Tinnies
go enjoy the uh gold coast beaches instead of uh running a ride at sea bus yeah
00:46:56
Jake
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come up here, enjoy the sunshine. i've had some ripper weather lately. I think the rain is coming though, so, which is a bit of shame, but where is the game?
00:47:06
Jake
Is it here this weekend?
00:47:07
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah sea bus mate i'm going big week of footage for yeah what's your thoughts
00:47:09
Chris
Yep.
00:47:09
Jake
Oh, geez, out of touch. So much for a fan, hey?
00:47:16
Chris
Yeah, no, if look, um yeah, I think both JC and AJ are both in the watch list for me. um eight Even he's at...
00:47:26
Chris
even if he's at um Even if he's named that fullback, ah the draw makes it really difficult to buy AJ this week.
00:47:35
Tackles and Tinnies
Mm-hmm.
00:47:36
Chris
you know ah And same thing as JC. ah Halfbacks average 45 against the Storm, and then and then they average 42 against the Broncos, which... ah ah ah the Gold Coast Titans next to opponents. I think that JC becomes a potential buy in round 15 when the draw eases up into Analy at home, Parramatta, ah and then Cowboys at home.
00:48:00
Chris
They have a buy, obviously, in round 18, then they also play Broncos again.
00:48:05
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. I think, yeah, JC again, i wish I held him. um But yeah, that he's a season keeper at five, eight, him and Munster are definitely the two boys ideally there. And that's something I definitely upgrading post origin period.
00:48:20
Tackles and Tinnies
And I'm getting scared about my trades. um But I think next week we'll sort of talk about um Ryan potentially doing enough because I am anti enough, but we'll save that for next week's podcast.
00:48:32
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. What about, um there's some other highly bought guys on my screen, boys, for you and Aiken and Ezra Mam.
00:48:37
Chris
you
00:48:39
Tackles and Tinnies
What do we think about these guys this week? Jake, what's up with you, mate?
00:48:43
Jake
ah I personally haven't even looked at Ewan Aitken. um I don't know if I've even been watching many South south games. So I don't even know what role he's been he' been playing.
00:48:56
Jake
Yeah,
00:48:57
Tackles and Tinnies
80 minutes on the edge, mate, with Keyon going to the middle.
00:48:59
Jake
yeah okay.
00:49:00
Tackles and Tinnies
And then even better for you, Jake, center wing, second row duel, baby.
00:49:03
Jake
Jewel.
00:49:06
Jake
Yeah, yeah, I see it, mate. I'm scrolled down, i'm having a look. So it's there. um Yeah, look, personally for me, not not actually interested in Aitken at all.
00:49:17
Jake
um As for Man, he's on the watch list for me. I know he had a huge game last week, break even a negative 20, but he's not changing price for another week.
00:49:32
Jake
So it'll be interesting to see what he kind of bounces at and gets this week. And then Broncos don't play round 15. They're on the buy.
00:49:41
Tackles and Tinnies
Hmm.
00:49:42
Jake
So um just, yeah, that forward planning for me, I just seem to be a little bit scarred after last round um and only just scraping 14, having to use four trades to get there kind of thing.
00:49:55
Jake
So I'm um'm very conscious now. I think we were talking earlier. we We know who the origin players are. There's obviously a lot of lock-ins there and the ones that have a chance of maybe missing out are If everyone does a job and it's not a huge blowout either the way, i can I can essentially see both teams essentially being the same for game two.
00:50:19
Jake
So um we know how our origin players are. You can start really planning that round 15, just looking at looking at the buys. um And I guess that's why Kolo and Mutangi could be also a great option for those who do need to bring in a second row. Rabbits do who play that round.
00:50:35
Jake
So just to lean back into him, but Yeah, for me, I'm actually avoiding both men and they get no interest at all at the moment.
00:50:45
Tackles and Tinnies
Thoughts, Chris?
00:50:46
Chris
um Yeah, Ewan Aitken, yeah, he's been basing 61 the last two weeks when playing at 2RF. I think he's a great player to consider. he His points do go down if he he if he plays it at centre.
00:51:02
Chris
But obviously... Alex Johnson's back now, and I think that the Souths, they've sorted out a lot of their ah center center wing issues. But I don't think you can buy him this week when you've got so many better 2RF options like Keon and also Eli Katoa.
00:51:20
Chris
I think that, you know, I'd i'd probably buy Aitken if you were looking for two front ah two two ah RFs this week and you could only afford Keon and Aitken.
00:51:32
Chris
But otherwise, I'd definitely be getting Eli Katoa. He has a break here. I'm 79 week. but' $63,000 down from his starting price. It's the cheapest he's been all year, and he's fresh off the buy. you know And he and the Storm now go into just this incredible draw, you know as we talked about, ah Titans ah this week.
00:51:49
Chris
But then ah he's at home against North Queensland Cowboys. Buy in round 15, but that's their final buy. And then they run into South's Sharks. That Sharks one is big.
00:52:01
Chris
2 p.m. Sunday, Amy Park. And then ah North Queensland again, and as well as Newcastle. Like, Catoa's a season keeper.
00:52:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:52:09
Chris
I think you just got to find a money for him at some point. And I think this week's a great week to try to find some money for him against the Titans. ah With Ezra Mann, he's got, I know it's like Jake said, ah he scored 128 last week and that's his highest score ever. Like in three seasons, he's never cracked a ton.
00:52:26
Chris
um And he's averaged only about 50 to 55. Like, you know, you could ask, you know, is it a new Ezra Mann this year? Possibly. But like Jake said, I think you get a free look. You know, if he scores 80 plus, then maybe you do have to get him ah because then he plays ah the Gold Coast Titans and their draw is pretty good.
00:52:44
Chris
But in my opinion, I just don't think he's me. Like he's only available at 5.8 and at the end of the day, like you said, Ryan, you want Munster and JC there, really.
00:52:55
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. And again, the man one is hard because he looked very, very good. And I could definitely see him replicating that type of game. Obviously, 128 is very high, but and that type game-esque, like 80 to 90 points a week, I could definitely see that in that Broncos team with that forward pack, the way it moves.
00:53:15
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, it's hard. And I'm quite lucky because I've held Shibasaki and if Ezra Mann is popping off, every single week Shibasaki is obviously going to be a beneficiary so I think Shibasaki if he's if he held on for this long deep holding especially with Ezra Mann back there um yeah Shibasaki's definitely hold yeah but definitely a wait and see for Ezra definitely need see at least one more performance of him going gangbusters and pretty much with a full strength Broncos team ready to go it'll be interesting to see what's our thoughts on Jesse Arthur's voice he's playing fullback this week what's your thoughts Chris
00:53:26
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. yeah
00:53:52
Chris
Oh, look, I sold him like probably like in round five or something like that. He's not coming back in my team. There are so many better rocks and diamonds players, you know, Xavier Coates.
00:54:05
Chris
That's, so you know, that's who you want to look at. not Not Jesse Arf is at this time of the year. Yeah.
00:54:09
Tackles and Tinnies
He's hot. He's good looking rooster though. He's good looking rooster. Jake, thoughts on the others?
00:54:12
Chris
yeah
00:54:15
Jake
I didn't know Arthur's was at one. Why on earth is Cobbo not there? That's crazy to me.
00:54:21
Tackles and Tinnies
assuming that's the ah hand.
00:54:23
Chris
Thank you.
00:54:24
Jake
The hand issue. Oh yeah, fair call. um Yeah, look, in terms of super coach, yeah, he's is not coming into my team. Same thing. I started with him. He made me some money.
00:54:36
Jake
um I also had Shibasaki. So yeah, for me, I was pretty pretty keen to get rid of one of my Broncos when they're both in the center wings there. And yeah, Jesse Arthurs when he kind of peaked was the man I got rid of. So and yeah, in terms of bringing him back in for Supercoach, not interested.
00:54:55
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Because a lot of these boys, and well especially in my team anyway, they're all getting to around that peak price, around $500,000 $600,000. So again, next week's going very interesting in regards to my trade, so I can actually start looking at getting some guns in.
00:55:09
Tackles and Tinnies
um But there's another guy I want to be talking about, Jordan Samrani. So he's also, Jakey, a 2RF center wing jewel. And again, quite useful. Again, you'd be flexing guys like Beau Fermor and you'd be flexing guys like Dylan Lucas or, yeah, Ewan Aiken. There's plenty of guys.
00:55:27
Tackles and Tinnies
He could be a useful pickup. What do we think, boys? see looks like he's locked down that center position. Chris?
00:55:32
Chris
Yeah. um That break even negative nine, Jake. ah Yeah, look, I don't think he's really cheapy price. i I think he's not for me as well. ah His value lies when he comes off the bench and he plays through the middle. Like he scored, I did consider him last week, but you know but then he got named at right center. Obviously he did score 60. At least he doesn't play around 15. I think he's just better off buying enough instead.
00:55:59
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Ciao.
00:56:01
Jake
Yeah, I agree. with For me, at least, in my plans, um don't get me wrong, I'm always considering break-evens and pricing moving forward.
00:56:14
Jake
But I don't really need those cheapies anymore. um My team across the park is is pretty well stacked, um and even ah even throughout my entire bench. So I'm really focused on these buy rounds and getting through this origin period.
00:56:32
Jake
Um, and then I'll actually be looking to sell some of my, some of my big names where they're just, I don't even have that opportunity to play them.
00:56:42
Jake
Like, um, I've held onto Jacob Preston, for example, um, ever since his suspension.
00:56:43
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:56:47
Jake
So he's just sitting there in 720 grand on the bench for me. Um, and I, I essentially have six solid stars in my second row there. So, um,
00:56:58
Jake
My main focus, yeah, through this Origin, through these buy rounds, um and then, yeah, I'll be bringing in some dual nuffs just to play around with my team where I need to.
00:57:09
Jake
And after Origin and all that, yeah, I'll be looking to bring in just the absolute stars and trying to try and come home strong and and hit that first place for head-to-head.
00:57:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank you.
00:57:22
Tackles and Tinnies
and Good luck.
00:57:24
Jake
Yeah, thank you.
00:57:25
Tackles and Tinnies
I want to hear your perspective, boys, on Ola Kawatu and Ruben Garrick.
00:57:25
Jake
I'll take it.
00:57:32
Tackles and Tinnies
So they're being an absolute burden on my ass. I should have sold Garrick when it was like 850K I was talking about. And maybe we can rephrase back to Scumbag Adam. He told me to he hold him and he's been absolutely dog shit ever since that Yeah.
00:57:45
Tackles and Tinnies
that cool um What's our thoughts Reuben Garrick currently? Is he a season keeper still with the current manly form, Jake?
00:57:56
Jake
ah Look, Garrick just, he has so much potential, I feel like, to, he's had some ripper scores around that 130, 140, 150 mark in the past over a couple of seasons now.
00:58:12
Jake
So, He's a very dangerous man not to have, especially when he gets those good matchups. And from memory, I think he scores better when Tommy Turbo isn't in the team.
00:58:24
Jake
I think that's right. So, um and going off, yeah, once again, Turbo's form. He's not playing this week. Who knows when he's back? Yeah.
00:58:35
Jake
Yeah, i ah definitely feel for you if you've seen him get up to that high price of 800, 850 whatnot and you didn't get to use that cash elsewhere.
00:58:46
Jake
But if you decided to hold, I'd be keeping him. I was considering him last week with a BE. But I... but by Oh, sorry, mate. Just going to jump onto my phone here.
00:59:02
Jake
um My AirPods have died on me. How good. um
00:59:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Scenic change.
00:59:07
Jake
But, yeah, i for me, Garrick's a hold. do think he still holds slips into that point of a season keeper.
00:59:16
Tackles and Tinnies
Did you see him a ghost in your room or something?
00:59:21
Tackles and Tinnies
Did you scream like possessed or something? He's gone!
00:59:25
Jake
Hello?
00:59:32
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, Chris, what's your thoughts on um Garrick or Ola Kawatu?
00:59:36
Chris
um Look, ah yeah, look, Garrick, I think he's definitely ah hold at the moment. You know, he's and he's a number for round 15 and round 18, the major buys.
00:59:48
Chris
I don't think... it Hi, Jake. Good to have you back.
00:59:51
Tackles and Tinnies
He's been directed.
00:59:55
Chris
Like Jesus. um I think that if you, if you don't, even if you don't believe that he's a season keeper, I don't think that you sell him until round 19.
01:00:07
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:08
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
01:00:08
Chris
ah Same thing as Ola. um There's no chance of him being picked for origin at this point in time. ah If you've got him in your team, you hold him. ah Manly have a fairly good draw, especially in round 15s and 18s. So again, you just need a number unless you've got heaps of numbers for those two major buys. And we all know what's happened, the first buy.
01:00:33
Chris
first major by injuries keep happening in supercoach. It's been an for the last two years. Don't sell your players who are playing in major buys at the moment. Yeah.
01:00:44
Tackles and Tinnies
And also at the injury front, Garrick's been super durable. um And almost you could say ah one of the best traits is availability is almost one of the best characteristics on a week-to-week basis, especially like this. Like Karaz, yes, probably has more upside than um Garrick, but hey, he's injured every second week. So...
01:01:03
Tackles and Tinnies
That's not ideal. What's your thoughts on Ola Kawatu, Jake, as you are got teleported from this realm?
01:01:10
Jake
Yeah, sorry about that. That was a scary moment. and My AirPods died on me and I started quickly trying to change the speakerphone and whatnot there.
01:01:17
Tackles and Tinnies
but
01:01:19
Jake
So apologies about that. um Yeah, just making some fries again, mate. Just making some fries.
01:01:24
Chris
Mm-hmm.
01:01:26
Jake
um Yeah, look, Ola Kowatu, I started with him round one. He's been a keeper for me this entire time. And yeah, the same with Garrick, I guess. like the They haven't been really pulling out super big scores for us as of late. You're lucky to get, I guess, that 40, 50 mark from them.
01:01:50
Jake
ah And even last week with Ola Kuatu not making a not making it into the 17 for the Blues. I think everyone was ready for him to get that that rage and that fire in his belly to kind of come out and score big.
01:02:07
Jake
um But we we didn't really see that, unfortunately.
01:02:08
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
01:02:11
Jake
So, yeah, there's there's definitely a lot of potential with Ola Kuwaito as well. At the moment, he's definitely a hold for me. And, yeah, there could even be a good opportunity to just keep an eye on his break even and find a good opportunity to buy him as well.
01:02:28
Jake
So, um yeah, for those who don't have him, yeah, keep him in mind. Just see how his form going, see how his price and BE tracks along. so
01:02:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, um yeah Garrick's just been frustrating. me But he hasn't, I can't actually remember the last time he scored a try and he's been averaging like, what, yeah, 50, literally 51 for the past three games.
01:02:53
Tackles and Tinnies
So I don't think he scored a meat pie. He gets a meat pie, he's almost up to 80 points. So yeah, it's a bit frustrating.
01:02:58
Jake
All right.
01:03:01
Tackles and Tinnies
um Chris, anyone else you can think of that would either worth a a buy or a hold?
01:03:07
Tackles and Tinnies
I think you're mute, mate.
01:03:10
Chris
Sorry. um
01:03:13
Chris
ah Yeah, yeah. um Plenty of other buys ah for sure. ah Firstly, Scott Drinkwater. Somebody we haven't talked about for a little bit on this pod. 876K.
01:03:26
Chris
He came crashing back to earth with a four-tenths against Manly just before the round 12 buy. But he still has a five-game average of 94%.
01:03:37
Chris
um This week, the Cows, they're probably thinking about avenging that loss. And they play, you know that West Tigers team at QBUS that have been rocked by further Lockie Galvin drama.
01:03:44
Jake
you
01:03:51
Chris
We won't talk about that, sadly. ah hey Like, Dricky does play ah Melbourne the week after, but it will be at home. And as you know, there's always points on offer at QBUS.
01:04:02
Chris
They're not... Like, I guess you could death ride him and pick up him round 15. But then in round 15, you probably also want to pick up Teddy if you don't have him um because the roosters come into a favorable draw.
01:04:15
Chris
Zach Lomax, who we talked about earlier, ah he's 728k. He's got a break even of 43. ah Plays Penrith at home, ah backing up from the backing up from origin this week before playing the Bulldogs away. And then he goes in the bye once again.
01:04:32
Chris
ah because of origin. He plays five of the next seven, and we know that he backs up from origin. So I thought last week he looked amazing with Moses inside him, and he scored 121 that week.
01:04:44
Chris
I love him. I think he's a season keeper. I'm going to be trying to get him in as well.
01:04:48
Jake
And
01:04:48
Chris
His scores last season were a little bit mixed during origin. He scored 170 against the Tigers. And he scored 81 and 30. So he had a 93 average.
01:04:59
Chris
And he's only 2.2% owned in the top 10 at the moment. So he's a bit of a super pod in my opinion.
01:05:05
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
01:05:07
Chris
Yeah, the question is just whether you have spare trades to buy him this week when there are just so many good buys.
01:05:13
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, I know Jake, our mate, Paul at TRL, who having a yarn on Monday just for our game, and we're talking about trades this week, and, yeah, he's bringing Zach Lomax, but he's told me that he's already nuffed out four players to essentially go super high and just absolute garbage. So whether or not that's an effective strategy, and he's in...
01:05:35
Chris
Thank
01:05:35
Tackles and Tinnies
a couple of our leagues. So it'd be interesting if he can pull through with that type of strategy. um But yeah, I'd be nothing out too. Zach Lomax, he's probably a guy I'll be looking at in the post-game too, I reckon.
01:05:47
Tackles and Tinnies
i'm Just going off the bye schedule for them. But yeah, he's a gun. Absolute gun. And again, with Mitchell Moses back, the Eels are a different team.
01:05:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Iong is looking like he's found a little bit of form as well. i think we got to speak about him. He's almost a bit... um under the radar at the moment. He's had a couple of 80s and 90s in recent weeks.
01:05:56
Jake
you
01:06:07
Tackles and Tinnies
What do think about Iongi boys? Is he a potential shout or not really? What think, Chris?
01:06:12
Chris
Nah, he's not in the top top three or four fullbacks. Yeah. I think Gufo, Pappy, Drinkwater, ah and also Teddy, they're all or above him. There's just no space for him, sadly.
01:06:27
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Jake, are you, mate?
01:06:29
Jake
Mate, yeah, I wouldn't be looking to buy Iongi, but he's another man that I've held since round one. I've still got Iongi. um And yeah, he's been doing a good enough job for me, surprisingly. So what did he get last week? ah Yeah, and even 90 last week with a B of 54 this week.
01:06:51
Jake
he's um He's actually going to be the man I eventually turned into Tedesco. um I'm kind of just waiting for Iongi I keep saying to peak in price and he just seems to find a way to find me a little bit more money each week it's crazy so and Teddy I think he's got 151 or break this week
01:07:08
Chris
Mm-hmm.
01:07:11
Jake
i even this wan I just want Teddy to come down crashing in price. And as soon as that moment hits, yeah, Iongi to Teddy for me is my play.
01:07:22
Jake
But, yeah, if you don't have Iongi, yeah, just, yeah, don't bother, guys. Use your money elsewhere. Try and make some more money if you need to then because, yeah, I just ah wouldn't wouldn't be bothered bringing him into your team. But if you have him at the moment, there's no no harm in holding.
01:07:39
Jake
So,
01:07:40
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. um Boys, what about sells? Is there any like must sells? There's a decent break even, but I'd like hear your perspective. what do you think, Chris?
01:07:51
Chris
um Obviously, you know, your injured players like Dylan Egan.
01:07:57
Chris
I think Corey, Corey Horsborough, he's done a job. As we said earlier, he's become a liability with yet another sin bin and he misses round 15. I think he goes. ah For me personally, I'm training out Connor Tracy as well at some point, especially with Gavin moving to to ah the Bulldogs, you know, he's probably even going to lose his spot.
01:08:13
Tackles and Tinnies
What about you, Jakey?
01:08:18
Chris
Riding's on the wall. Yeah.
01:08:22
Jake
Yeah, i when I look at my team, I don't really necessarily have any must-sells. Yeah, if any, um I do agree with that Corey Horsburgh one.
01:08:33
Jake
If I was going to be bringing in Kalon Wutangi this week, Horsburgh is the man that is going to go. um Yeah, it all comes down to what your team is.
01:08:43
Tackles and Tinnies
money
01:08:44
Jake
Yeah, if you have any of those major suspensions or injuries or whatnot, pain if you're looking for money, maybe Payne Haas. like He's not even a must-sell, but...
01:08:57
Jake
He's got a pretty high break even of 96, which he can easily rip out. But with that quad concern, he's walking through these origin periods. Broncos have around 15 buy. Yeah, if it allows you to plan for the next month, Payne Haas actually is an option to sell.
01:09:18
Jake
um i know a lot of people I think did it last week. So yeah, there's no harm in doing that this week as well. So, yeah, a bit low on the must-sells from my behalf, I think.
01:09:33
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, i really think no one really standing out personally. I've been trying to get rid of Adam Dewey for bloody, what, what is it now, round 13? So 12 weeks now I've been trying to get rid Adam Dewey. So yeah, that's been a bit of a mission.
01:09:46
Tackles and Tinnies
um But hey, Adam Dewey is now in the origin camp for New South Wales, so he actually must be pretty good. So...
01:09:52
Chris
I guess he's a muscle.
01:09:52
Tackles and Tinnies
ah
01:09:54
Chris
Yeah. He's origin risk now. He's also in my team.
01:09:56
Tackles and Tinnies
it
01:09:57
Chris
I try to get rid of him too. And it just, cut every week something pops up instead.
01:10:01
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, mate. This is so funny. It was on Facebook when I saw the news of Jacob Preston and Adam Dewey and one of the guys was like, is Adam Dewey the guy delivering at the Greek Uber Eats order?
01:10:19
Tackles and Tinnies
It's so funny. But yeah, on my team personally, I'm the same. I've got guys who are – most my guys are break-evens or like 50 or less.
01:10:22
Chris
Thank you.
01:10:26
Tackles and Tinnies
So Cash King over here is still making money. um besides Bop Boy, Garrick, and Ola Kawatu. So hopefully bit of reverse psychology with no turbo there can get me soaring up the the leaderboard there.
01:10:41
Tackles and Tinnies
But yeah, boys, what about captaincies this week? What are we thinking? I'm personally going straight for my boy, Ryan Pappenhausen, against the Gold Coast Titans, with a VC on Fletcher Sharp playing against um King Guffo's St. George's Laura Dragons. Who are we thinking about potential captain options this week, Jake?
01:11:00
Jake
Yeah, i yeah you've you've made the right moves there, Ryan, definitely. um ah The only change I have from you is that I've moved my VC from Sharp to gaffa um I do see Ponga backing it up from origin unless he yeah gets injured or whatnot or comes out a bit yeah not not not so good.
01:11:24
Chris
you
01:11:27
Jake
And I just think that Fletcher Sharp back at six, he might not get those same numbers when he played at fullback last week. um Yeah, you could jump on Lucas. um Obviously, he did exceptionally well last week, but that was with a pretty decimated Panthers team.
01:11:47
Tackles and Tinnies
What
01:11:47
Jake
And he obviously has those injury concerns, which he obviously looked like he shook off last week, but you never know. so yeah, for me, VC, Gutho, Captain Pappy this week.
01:11:59
Jake
It just makes sense. Pappy off a bye last week up against the Gold Coast Titans.
01:12:01
Chris
Thank you.
01:12:04
Jake
um If he whips out another 180, everyone will be cheering. And, yeah, there's definitely potential for that.
01:12:12
Tackles and Tinnies
are you Chris? What are you thinking?
01:12:14
Chris
Yeah, Pappy's a logical core. You can either VC him or see him. um If you're going to see him, then your VC options are in that in that game and most likely be Lucas or Fletcher Sharp.
01:12:29
Chris
But like Jake said, Fletcher Sharp's really not an option at at six. um For me personally, I'm going to VC Pappy. ah Currently, I figured that I've got to play Jenkins this week in my CT dub.
01:12:43
Jake
Bye.
01:12:43
Chris
And um for me originally, Jenkins was a hold. um He has a break even of 83 because that 117 from the Broncos drops out. and But he plays Parramatta and and West Tigers in the next two weeks.
01:12:58
Tackles and Tinnies
you
01:12:58
Chris
but then But then TLT came out and Casey McLean's been... um, been named again. And I just can't have that. So what I'm really hoping for is for Pappy to VC Pappy, Pappy goes big. Then I can loop Connor Tracy as captain. And then I don't have to play Jenkins is what I'm really hoping for.
01:13:19
Chris
And then I'll just deal with the AE. Whatever I get is whatever I get. But I'm also, that might change, uh, uh, I think it will change at all um unless, um basically it depends if, I'm really hoping essentially that McLean gets dropped and poor Alamotti gets named instead. I don't know why he's being dropped to the reserves.
01:13:43
Chris
um But that, and then if that happens, I'll just put the straight C on Pappy, but really it it has to be Pappy. um If you don't like Pappy or going to VC him, then your captaincy options most likely would be drinky Nathan Cleary and, and, and even, and probably Terrell may as well. He could, he scored 121 weeks ago.
01:14:02
Chris
two weeks ago
01:14:03
Tackles and Tinnies
True.
01:14:03
Chris
Yeah. And if Pappy doesn't go, doesn't work out, you know, could be raining. Apparently it's not supposed to rain at the game. Yeah. and i So I expect Pappy to go absolute massive against the Titans. Yeah.
01:14:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, I think being rested obviously is a ah huge thing. um Yeah, Parramatta, I don't know. I think they looked pretty good in defense last week against the um predictable ah Manly Sea Eagles.
01:14:26
Chris
Yeah.
01:14:30
Tackles and Tinnies
But... Yeah, I don't think... yeah Who knows? Panthers are just the absolute wild card this year. So hard to predict. Any love for Latrell Mitchell at a core stadium against the Warriors on Sunday?
01:14:43
Jake
I haven't looked at Latrell Mitchell in Supercoach whatsoever, to be honest. I don't even know what he's how he's been averaging or scoring or whatnot.
01:14:54
Jake
um
01:14:57
Tackles and Tinnies
Go ask Morgan, mate.
01:14:57
Jake
Yeah, I don't know about a captaincy option this week.
01:14:57
Tackles and Tinnies
He's troughing it.
01:15:01
Jake
I'm just having a quick look at him in um Yeah, I don't know about a captaincy option against a gets tough New Zealand team.
01:15:12
Jake
They got a loss at home against Canberra. But yeah, what a game that was. That was a two powerhouses of the competition, I feel, at the moment. So yeah, I feel like New Zealand are going to come out quite strong. They get fish back this week. um I'm ready for New Zealand to be ready to...
01:15:29
Jake
get a good win this week against the South. So, yeah, I wouldn't be vice... va Oh, I guess you could vice him, I guess, if it works. But, yeah, I wouldn't be putting the captain on him personally, um unless you were just talking about buy options there, Ryan.
01:15:46
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Or a bit of both. Yeah, like full again, that fullback rule that is Chris was talking about earlier.
01:15:49
Jake
Yeah.
01:15:55
Tackles and Tinnies
i't I don't know. It's tough.
01:15:56
Chris
No, he's definitely he's definitely not a buy at the moment.
01:15:56
Tackles and Tinnies
All right.
01:15:58
Chris
ah not Not only does he play New Zealand and then um and in and then the Raiders, but then he plays his next game in round 16 is actually against the Melbourne Storm.
01:16:10
Chris
Yeah, like maybe consider him after after Origin is what I think. Yeah.
01:16:16
Jake
Yeah. Yeah.
01:16:17
Tackles and Tinnies
right, boys, are there any ah final words, origin banter?
01:16:19
Jake
so
01:16:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Grease, we'll finish you, mate.
01:16:25
Chris
Oh, um what are your trades this week, Ryan?
01:16:27
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, true. been actually rattled after hours of podcasting.
01:16:32
Chris
exactly
01:16:32
Tackles and Tinnies
ah Yeah, my trades. Good shout. So I have got actually rid of Corey Hawes, bruh, out of my front row. I've flexed up Tino to my front row.
01:16:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Jaz Tafanga then goes to my second row. By the way, Jaz Tafanga, absolute goat trade a couple of weeks ago. And Api Korosau's in. So, yeah, Api's my set and forget hooker now for the rest of the year, probably, assuming no injury.
01:16:55
Chris
Okay.
01:16:57
Tackles and Tinnies
And then my second trade, I have gone with Keon Kulamatangi as well. um Who did I trade him in with?
01:17:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Keon was for Nanai. Yeah, so Nanai with that big breaking of a 93. Yeah, been great in regards to pod play, but again, he might have reduced minutes.
01:17:20
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah I don't know, Cowboys changing different halves now. Just a lot of variables. I'm not sure about the Cowboys in their current state.
01:17:26
Jake
this.
01:17:27
Tackles and Tinnies
And again, potentially missing three of the seven games during the origin period. So just don't want to take that risk with Nanai. Wise peaked in price, may as well sell.
01:17:37
Tackles and Tinnies
But yeah, I'm happy with my trades. My trades have been pretty good. It's just my captaincy is every week. Again, didn't do Fletcher Sharp when I should have. Yeah, you guys sort of talked me out of it last week. i don't know how, but such is life.
01:17:50
Chris
What?
01:17:53
Tackles and Tinnies
I'm trying to get something back. I got nothing.
01:17:56
Chris
um For me this week, I'm trading Corey Hawes for Keon as well. I'll have a close watch and just see what whether Payne Haas backs up and how he looks on it tomorrow, tomorrow night. Obviously, he'll look amazing.
01:18:10
Chris
I'll absolutely smash it out park tomorrow, I'm sure. But um if he's not backing up, I'm selling him as well. I'm just not sure yet whether I'll sell to Eli Katow or Zach Lomax.
01:18:22
Chris
I'll probably just – both of them fantastic – um Yeah.
01:18:26
Tackles and Tinnies
Lomax for sure, mate.
01:18:26
Chris
ah probably go low, Max, just because he's here's the pod. Yeah. I need to catch up some points if I want if i want to get back up.
01:18:30
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
01:18:32
Chris
Yeah. And see some green arrows this week.
01:18:35
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. And then Jackie, what were trades again?
01:18:38
Jake
ah Dylan Brown Appy Corasau via Sandman Smith and Caelan Pongo to Clint Gutherson. They're my two at the moment.
01:18:49
Jake
Subject to change, but that's me. um Yeah, so, yeah, it's good. But... um
01:18:56
Chris
Thank you.
01:18:58
Jake
Just to rewind five minutes as well there, just um on a final note, Chris, who do you reckon's hurt your super coach more this season? Casey McGlughans, as you would like to say, or Connor Tracy?
01:19:11
Jake
What do you reckon?
01:19:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Good question.
01:19:13
Chris
yeah Oh, definitely. Oh, definitely Connor Tracy. Mostly because I've played him. Mostly because I've played him, honestly.
01:19:20
Jake
yeah
01:19:22
Chris
um Yeah. But I won't lie. Like Jenkins has been such, oh, Penrith has been so frustrating to watch. Like just, just literally like in the second half, like last week, like Penrith make a sweet play to the left and like, it's two on one, like just pass the ball, bro. Like just, and of course he's Casey McLean has his dummies. And of course he gets tackled. Like, ah But actually, in terms of um things that have derailed my season, I think that probably the biggest one actually would be um would be Guffo.
01:19:55
Chris
Like back in, oh what was it, Ryan? Was it round nine or round eight or something like that?
01:20:00
Tackles and Tinnies
It was like nine. Yeah.
01:20:01
Chris
Yeah, like it was Anzac week. um And I traded out um Teddy for teddy four Drinky. like But I kept Gufo instead.
01:20:10
Tackles and Tinnies
Hmm.
01:20:15
Chris
And so that's just ruined my season. That's what I think, honestly. That was season defining. That's my biggest one.
01:20:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Hmm.
01:20:22
Chris
But in terms of anger, probably would be Jenkins.
01:20:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Well, I'm with
01:20:26
Chris
it probably would be okay it would be jenkins That's actually point-wise. Connor Tracy.
01:20:35
Jake
Yeah, I swear, um yeah, that Casey McLean has definitely hurt you, I feel like, Chris. that's That's what I keep hearing from you week in, week out, I think. So there's always commentary there.
01:20:47
Jake
so um yeah, but I id thought it definitely started to switch to that Connor Tracy. So, yeah, it's just a good laugh. So...
01:20:57
Tackles and Tinnies
um So boys, after three hours and probably 2.5 attempts, almost got scared halfway through this podcast with Jake getting resurrected twice.
01:21:10
Jake
Yeah.
01:21:11
Tackles and Tinnies
