Tackles and Tinnies
It's good to be back, boys. It's good to be back. I've actually got a special stubby here.
00:00:09
Chris
God.
00:00:11
Tackles and Tinnies
i don't know if you guys can see that, but I went to Hobbiton in New Zealand. If you haven't been Hobbiton, listeners, do yourself a favor.
00:00:16
Chris
feel
00:00:19
Tackles and Tinnies
Even if you're not a Lord of the Rings fan or a Hobbit fan, holy moly, it is such a cool experience. um For someone who's also done business and event management, It is just crazy how like to the T the run sheet is at this place.
00:00:30
Chris
Thank you.
00:00:33
Tackles and Tinnies
It's like 30 to 40 people per tour group from like literally 8 o'clock in the morning to 4 p.m. every like 15 minutes. And you just look at the top of the hill at Hobbiton, looking down like from Bilbo's house.
00:00:45
Tackles and Tinnies
And there's like 2,000 people, I swear, walking through this place. And it's like so regimented in what they do. But yeah, Hobbiton, sick. Definitely
Queensland vs. New South Wales: Game Highlights
00:00:54
Tackles and Tinnies
recommend. So I thought I'd give that one out. But I just want to give a quick shout out to our main man, Chris, for holding the fort.
00:01:01
Tackles and Tinnies
ah Got Andy off his ass and got him back on the potty. Rare occurrence for him. um And also Adam, the scumbag that we love so much, ah killing out at number 17 overall.
00:01:13
Tackles and Tinnies
But yeah, really good. Chris, cheers to you, mate. Well done.
00:01:18
Chris
Oh, thanks. You know, I'm glad the boss is back, you know, and running, you know, running things you know correctly now. but
00:01:24
Tackles and Tinnies
my job in no time. year then You think you'd do a better job than me, mate. At least you're organized. And Jakey, how are you, brother?
00:01:33
Jake
Yeah, I'm i'm well, mate. Been busy with work. Didn't get to watch too much footy over the weekend as per usual. working for most of the weekend. um But yeah, mate, been really well. Been coming off a high ever since last Wednesday and night with Queensland getting up.
00:01:51
Jake
So I'm sure we'll rip into that. Chris, I'm so happy you're on tonight, mate. Can't wait to talk about it. So ready to rip in. It's nice to see you both.
00:01:59
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh my God. or is like it's ten It was 10 o'clock in New Zealand when you kickoff happened.
00:02:03
Chris
Thank you.
00:02:04
Tackles and Tinnies
I was like, it was worth every single minute past my bedtime for an early start to see Queensland absolutely dominate New South Wales. um They had so much emotion going into their game with um Money Munster and his dad passing and Big Papa coming back and It was so good to see at the very end when the trophy was about to be raised and all the boys from Queensland just looked at Papa was like, Papa, get up there, mate, get up there, mate. Like, you could really see they rallied for Big Papa.
00:02:35
Tackles and Tinnies
But, Jake, you could probably agree me here, mate. New South Wales don't understand originality.
00:02:42
Jake
That's it, mate. That's it. They, um, look at us. We were finishing sets. We, we turned up. Um, I cannot believe how confident and, uh, cocky the blues were getting.
00:02:49
Chris
um
00:02:53
Jake
So they so easily forget the but eight years dynasty there. Um, and look at young man dude and made his what 24, I think 25.
00:03:04
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. Crazy.
00:03:05
Jake
We've got him for another like eight to 10 years. Easy, mate. We've got another eight in the row possible, possibly coming. So.
00:03:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Lockyer 2.0. Yep.
00:03:12
Jake
um Yeah, that's it. So yeah, fantastic, mate. In Billy We Trust, I think I called that early.
00:03:19
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:03:19
Jake
Let's go back a few podcasts, repeat that. um He's just too good, mate, too good. So yeah, phenomenal from the Maroons, mate. Yeah, just they were perfect.
00:03:30
Jake
Unreal. They really stepped up and I think um i think the Blues just collapsed.
00:03:31
Tackles and Tinnies
I should have.
00:03:35
Jake
So for some stars that they've got, they just, they defeated themselves.
00:03:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. ah we shouldve arm Jake, you should have correlated earlier that we should have shaved the beard sand and got the goatee going for Shivers.
00:03:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:46
Jake
Spring-in-Jay. Bye-bye.
00:03:47
Tackles and Tinnies
I mean, my God, he had two missed tackles to start with and then he just absolutely dominated that edge.
00:03:47
Chris
a
00:03:54
Tackles and Tinnies
Like that try to arm Xavier coach doing that little round the back and then sort of flipped it around to um Xavier. Like unreal. That would have been so good for his confidence. Yeah. ah He looked right at home and I think we've actually got a new centre pairing for at least the next couple of years with Robert Toya and um Shibasaki for sure.
00:04:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Chris, what are you going to do for South Wales? Do you just gut the entire team? Because they just don't get it, mate.
00:04:17
Chris
Look, look, look let it just let me just start by saying, you
Critiques and Strategies: Team Performance Analysis
00:04:21
Chris
know, look well done, like Queensland, like In immortal words of feel good, I too, I honestly did not see a path of victory for you guys. And you guys came on absolute smoke near Zach Wells.
00:04:31
Chris
I did just want to quickly rebut that Shibasaki, you know, try assist. Mate, that was Zach Lomax doing Zach Lomax things. Come on. Like, that defense he had, he just came out nowhere. That was so bad of him. So, yeah. but Yeah.
00:04:45
Jake
Lomax wishes he was in Moran, mate. He wishes he was in Moran.
00:04:47
Tackles and Tinnies
ah heart a 100%. We all bleed red at the end of the day, don't we?
00:04:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:55
Tackles and Tinnies
um So, Chris, for you as a New South Welshman, um I was trying to think myself, who doesn't know origin too well, those New South Wales boys? Who would you drop to get some bit of passion back into that jersey?
00:05:09
Tackles and Tinnies
Who would you drop? Going off form right now.
00:05:11
Chris
Oh, look, I think, I think straight away, like, look, I think, I think I think I'm just going to start off with the forwards straight away, know, ah I've been saying this every single time. You know, part of it is a joke, but, you know, I think the pop most positive takeaway a we're going to take away from this series is the critics are just going to absolutely rip into Laurie Daly's forward selection. Like, Stefano, Max King, none of these guys belong here. Like, Stefano looks so unfit. He's walking with, like, after six minutes of play.
00:05:41
Chris
You know, hello, we have, like, two 80-minute, you know, front row forwards, you know, in Terrell May and, you know Keon.
00:05:46
Tackles and Tinnies
great Yeah, we're paying arse well, mate.
00:05:47
Chris
But, yeah, and they but no, yeah. But no, Laurie didn't want to pick any of them. So, you know, I hope he gets massacred for that. You know, I think I'm also kind of slightly frustrated, you know, by the New South Wales attack structure, you know, in the red zone. Like, you know, I thought, look, I know Lomax didn't play great, but last year was really awesome. You know, Edwards is good. um I know that, you know, Teddy, you know, he's a more dangerous player than Edwards, but, you know, I don't think Edwards was the issue.
00:06:12
Chris
Same as Luttrell, same as Crichton. Toto was our best player in the whole series, you know. I agree that I feel like I was annoyed by Louie and Cleary, Louie and Cleary a little bit, you know, especially Cleary. Like, you know, when he dons on the the blue, he's Chad Townsend. And then, you know, when he's got the the black or the pink jersey, you know, you can see what he did last Sunday night. You know, he just shows the ball and then just his entire para defense with a dummy.
00:06:34
Chris
You know I know it's para once again, but it's just frustrating. There's show of the ball. And you can see Cleary just premeditated.
00:06:44
Chris
yeah just avoids we just and you guys just killed us you know like we killed you guys in the first game and then in game two and three you guys adjusted and you know you know hats off really i think the main issue is getting players who actually just deserve to be there and that's really in the forwards area yeah
00:06:58
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah it's almost like not saying Laurie Daly can't coach, but having a bit too much ego with the Terrell May situation, at the end of the day, you've got to pick the best players. Yeah. And Keon, he arguably should have been there.
00:07:11
Tackles and Tinnies
i think, Jake, you might have a different thought to me. But as a Queenslander, I'm more scared of seeing Ola Kawatu and Keon and Terrell coming in instead of guys like Max King against Stefano, as Chris has mentioned.
00:07:25
Tackles and Tinnies
And arguably, I'd probably be dropping a guy like Angus Croydon. Is that too much smoky chat there? Because I think Keon, Hudson Young, Terrell, Isaiah Yeo is obviously going to be there.
00:07:37
Tackles and Tinnies
Payne Haas is obviously going to be there.
00:07:37
Chris
Thank you.
00:07:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Bit more bang for buck in terms of those boys.
00:07:40
Jake
well
00:07:42
Tackles and Tinnies
um i don't think think Gus has done anything this year. Is that fair, Jake?
00:07:47
Jake
Well, the yeah, Gus definitely hasn't had the same season that we know, especially from last year, I think it was. But what correlates to me kind of was kind of that ah damaging super coach scores. So that's the main thing I remember from Angus last year.
00:08:05
Jake
But... um There's two things that pop into my head when it comes to Blues is that, yeah, they've they've just got a they've got a large array to choose from.
00:08:16
Jake
um They do have a bit of a headache selection. So it does come down to, okay, who do you pick? And then, yeah, what Penrith have done over the past like four five years, obviously you start to bring in their combos a lot.
00:08:32
Jake
um But to touch on your point, Chris, a bit around Luai and Cleary, um look at game one. It was Moses and Cleary. And that's where a lot of the confidence was.
00:08:43
Jake
um And then you want to mention forwards, obviously, Barnett, um ACL, out for games two and three. So the Blues team that came out looked great in game one.
00:08:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Mm-hmm.
00:08:55
Jake
They like, um yeah, for the Blues, they were missing like two stars, I guess. Um, and yeah, like moving forward for next year, I'd be putting, yeah, Moses in the six again with Cleary in the seven.
00:09:09
Chris
ye
00:09:09
Jake
Um, yeah, like we know Luai brings a lot of energy, but And I'm not saying he's a bad player in any sense, but I just don't think, yeah, he's the right man to be donning the six for the Blues.
00:09:23
Jake
um Yeah, you want Moses in there. And then if Moses is out, there's even been a lot of chat around Izzy Katoa. um I know he's young, but he's been in absolute great form.
00:09:37
Jake
And yeah, maybe if Moses or Cleary's out, one of the two, you just slip Katoa into that team and he could kind of be that next man up. So yeah there's definitely a lot of great choices for the Blues for next year. so um lots to learn from it. I'm pretty sure they'll come out.
00:09:56
Jake
yeah, very ready for next year.
00:09:57
Tackles and Tinnies
Do we not?
00:09:58
Jake
They'll definitely want to rec try and reclaim it. um But yeah, bringing the young guns for Blues, I reckon. Moses brings that experience. But yeah, Queensland of... Billy did some great selections there. Like there's a lot of talk about it could be some of his best coaching he's ever done.
00:10:15
Jake
And you look at some of the selections and yeah, Queensland just delivered. So it was a great series. And yeah, from a Queensland perspective, it was absolutely perfect. So it was great. Loved it.
00:10:26
Tackles and Tinnies
I want to go over like in ah the duplicative play styles because I was going to talk about Moses and Cleary that sort of play the same, but then I was going to go on the other spectrum of Deirdre and Munster, they sort of play the same.
00:10:31
Chris
Well,
00:10:42
Tackles and Tinnies
And obviously, Hammer at the back complements that running game very well with the um support play, which obviously was quite evident in game three. I don't think the duplicative nature of Moses and Cleary is optimal. You almost want that running 5-8.
00:10:58
Tackles and Tinnies
So that's why I do you think that Moses-Lewai connection from last year where Lewai was actually the game breaker and won him the game. When you think about it, he made that line break and then passed
Supercoach Strategies and Challenges
00:11:08
Tackles and Tinnies
it to Best and then...
00:11:09
Tackles and Tinnies
That's the end of game three there. i think the Moses-Lewi combination actually works better than a Cleary-Moses combo, even though Cleary-Moses won game one. damn one Chris, thoughts?
00:11:22
Chris
Well, it's interesting you say that because what you're getting at really is that you you don't don't love how Clary and Moses are like, they act as this They organise the team and then they act as the structured play.
00:11:34
Chris
And you're saying that Luai is the free-flowing guy and he just does stuff randomly. You know, he had two games, game two and game three, just to do whatever he wanted. And he still wasn't that great. I think he did more bad than he did good in many ways.
00:11:48
Chris
And as a result, I think I would definitely prefer Moses back there, like Jakey said, 100%, really. Yeah, yeah. um yeah guess
00:12:00
Tackles and Tinnies
Do you not think that – I think this is the duplicative style though.
00:12:00
Jake
Well, I...
00:12:03
Tackles and Tinnies
Like you've got – obviously Cooper Cronk, Jonathan Thurston. Thurston's obviously ah an out-and-out halfback. But when he dropped into five eight with Cooper Cronk playing there alongside him, Thurston has that ad-lib football. He's got that running game.
00:12:17
Tackles and Tinnies
He's got that like eyes-up football. Yes, Cleary and Moses can run the ball very, very well. Don't get me wrong. And we've seen that in multiple different stages within their careers. But I just don't like the fit.
00:12:29
Tackles and Tinnies
but of those two there's something there that just like as a as I watch the game the eye test yes they're good on paper but the eye test for me unless you're going someone like Pappenhausen at the back where then that changes that Dylan Edwards at the back there someone's explosive to sort of compliment their kicking and organizing I think the Dylan Edwards piece needs to change then
00:12:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:53
Chris
have to look at results. I mean, yeah, sure. um It's just that, yeah, two games, otherwise, Moses and Cleary, 1-0, you know, yeah. one and one to know you know yeah
00:13:03
Jake
a I love like when Cleary and Moses do run the ball, reckon they've got a fantastic like run of the ball. So obviously the kind of the biggest thing I'm hearing might be that you've got two two big leaders in the halves there and you just don't know who might be leading that team.
00:13:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, for sure.
00:13:22
Jake
And they're obviously going to provide a lot of structure. um But yeah, like both their kicking game is phenomenal. um I think they delivered for game one, Moses and c Cleary. And yeah, I really like that idea, Ryan, of maybe changing up Dylan Edwards. I think I was calling for Tedesco to don the number one um for the Blues or...
00:13:43
Jake
ah like, yeah, all lead up to it. So yeah, Chuck Teddy back into it, I think.
00:13:48
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:13:48
Jake
um Yeah. Even though he he's still slipping over, that is probably his biggest weakness. You still see that week in, week out. um But yeah, when Pappy's on, Pappy's electric. So once again, the Blues have heaps of options.
00:14:02
Jake
So um yeah, even moving into next year.
00:14:03
Tackles and Tinnies
Even turbo, mate. Turbo can get healthy.
00:14:06
Jake
Exactly. Even look at next year, like Critter and Trell have been the centers for the Blues this year. And I reckon they both had a great series.
00:14:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:14:14
Jake
um
00:14:15
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:14:15
Jake
But what do you do when Turbo's on fire? um If he's, yeah, um staying in the center position for Manly next year, it'll be very interesting to see what happens there.
00:14:26
Jake
Because I don't know if he'd go back to fullback then and how do you find a spot for him in the centers. So... Yeah, there's just too many options for the Blues. um Yeah, you could talk about it all day.
00:14:39
Chris
That said, I still don't think that Edwards is the the issue that we lost.
00:14:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:14:42
Chris
Reason is the reason why he lost. I think it's the forwards pack. You know, you guys just, especially the, it just was it just before halftime when Harry Grant scored his try?
00:14:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Okay.
00:14:53
Chris
I think you could see that, it like i don't know if you guys are watching him at the gate, you could see that the try was coming. You know, we were just scrambling, just holding off and just making the tackle. you guys are getting that quick play the ball and you're going, if it's not this tackle that you guys are scoring, it's going to next one or it's going to be the next one.
00:15:07
Chris
You know, it's just our forwards just weren't fit enough, you know, have to play, really.
00:15:12
Tackles and Tinnies
So maybe we're looking at it in the wrong eye or lens in regards to the Fords that we've already precursor and talked about.
00:15:12
Chris
That's him to main game. Yeah.
00:15:21
Tackles and Tinnies
Those Fords for Queensland are very mobile.
00:15:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:25
Tackles and Tinnies
ah The new next generation Ford where the boys like Terrell, Keon, Haas, or Haas the exception. um But those boys ah and Isaiah Yeo, bit slower laterally.
00:15:37
Tackles and Tinnies
um Does that then not change our mindset of picking guys more like Hudson Young or an Oluwatu or even shifting Gus Cryden to front row? Does that not change that, Chris?
00:15:50
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Look, I think it's a case of like, it's it's not that, I don't think that the whole team needs to restructure. It's not like we were, you know, we were all so bad, you know, it's not, I just think there were just small things that resulted, I guess, in you guys having upper hand. And it it went from my perspective, it really was,
00:16:12
Chris
Again, it's it's the same thing. like I guess you're right in a way in terms like Gus Crichton, like the one we've, when Deirdre didn't make that, he double pumped and he passed that short ball to Ruben Cotter.
00:16:24
Chris
That was really nice.
00:16:25
Jake
Say it again, Chris.
00:16:25
Chris
And that was simply because
00:16:26
Jake
Say it again. What was that? Double palm?
00:16:28
Chris
Part of it was I think I remember was because it was because Latrell overcommitted and he jumped on ah Rob Toya real early and that created that gap.
00:16:29
Jake
Beautiful. Beautiful. beautiful
00:16:37
Chris
And then you're right, you know, Angus Crichton, he just naturally just wasn't quick enough, you know, to get there. Sure, sure. but um but that's not But that's a case of just Deirdre being too good, you know, really putting him in that nice gap.
00:16:50
Chris
My issue, again, is that Harry Grant try that he got, You know, it's it's not a case of, you know, it's just us playing, putting some forwards in who just shouldn't be there. And it's because, like you said, Laurie just too proud to, you know, when we lost game two, we knew probably Steph probably wasn't the right guy.
00:17:07
Chris
We probably knew Max King probably wasn't the right guy. But, you know, we're not going to put May in there, you know, these guys who can have a motor for 80 minutes. You know, I don't think that May is necessarily missing that tackle. I think he misses the least tackles as any 80 or 60 plus minute playing front row forward, you know.
00:17:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. Actually, middle yet. Now, we've also talked about like those workhorses, like Queensland has abundance of those type of workhorses, like Kurt Mann and Liero and Cotter, like go and and go and go
00:17:28
Chris
Thank
00:17:36
Tackles and Tinnies
But we've also talked about Harry Grant and he, and this was like game one chat ages ago, that he was that guy who could break open the game and New South Wales didn't necessarily have him.
00:17:48
Tackles and Tinnies
um That's why I was like early on, oh, we need like an happy chorus they are there for New South Wales because, the hooker position so valuable.
00:17:54
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:17:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Connor Watson, he only got like 27 minutes for two games in a row. Is Rhys Robson going to retain his spot as just that tackle bot for the first 20 minutes and then a guy like Appy comes off the bench or like a guy like Watson? what are you thoughts there, Jake or Chris?
00:18:14
Jake
Yeah, well, I think there's obviously been a lot of criticism towards Laurie and the Blues team, essentially. like it's It's an open slather next year for them.
00:18:25
Jake
Like it's it's now 12 months away till we're looking at origin again, essentially. So you never know who's going to retain their spot, but um people are calling for Cleary not even to be a lock-in, um which, yeah, is a big call within itself. So if Cleary is not a lock-in and there's that, those whispers going around, yeah, then Reece Robson isn't a lock-in.
00:18:47
Jake
And then essentially no player is a lock-in for the Blues team. um Yeah, that was they definitely had some great players. like I think, as you said, Chris To'o was probably the the best for the Blues over all three games.
00:19:00
Jake
um It'd be hard to kind of slight. I reckon Trell and Critter, once again, had some good games as well. So yeah, Payne Haas. Okay. Yeah. He's probably a lock as if you're not picking him.
00:19:13
Jake
So yeah, but even talking about, I guess around mobile forwards, you're missing Cam Murray this year as well with his like Achilles injury and stuff.
00:19:20
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:19:23
Jake
He's one of those, yeah, quicker, more mobile forwards as well. Yeah. yeah does Does he maybe jump into that 13-lock position that we know is his favorite?
00:19:31
Tackles and Tinnies
hannabasin
00:19:33
Jake
um Does Yeo then turn into a man off the bench maybe?
00:19:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:36
Jake
so um You look at Queensland with Trent and Paddy. um We had two essential locks. I know Paddy's been playing obviously a lot of front row this year for the Broncos, but makes him a little bit more versatile, but I'm sure Yo, if needed, could jump in that front row easily. So Cam Murray could easily switch to second row. So yeah, there's a lot of options.
00:19:57
Jake
um Yeah. But for me, yeah, the the whole team just needs to be looked at. And I think that's one luxury for the Blues. Just reset, look at the form next year, look into it and yeah, try try and bring it next year. So best of luck to them.
00:20:16
Chris
Yeah, just quickly on Reece Robson, like, i I'm still going to hold on to my thoughts that I believe that his job is just quick service, really, and efficient service. It's not his fault that Cleary, Luai, they did not, you know, they did not, you know, get creative and, you know, create space for their centres, you know, and score the points. That's not that's not his job necessarily. like I get what you mean by, you know, like, you know, having an appy there, really.
00:20:40
Chris
Where I would definitely, I also think that Connor Watson isn't the solution either. Like in game two, like when we were down by, it two or two or just two or whatever it was that we're down by, you know, there was one where they were all calling for for the ball on the left and he just passed the ball onto the right with the short ball. And then I think we knocked it off or something like that. And that just just tells me that he's still a little bit immature. He's just not that perfect player.
00:21:01
Chris
Rather, if we were going to drop Robson, I'd have issues rather just because he's defensive. Like he...
00:21:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:21:06
Chris
He defends well, but he always gives away stupid penalties, stupid six-against. Like the one where, you know, um he he he put his hand out um to stop Hammer, know, and then you guys got a penalty early on the game.
00:21:18
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:21:18
Chris
free That was, you know, it was that like on the fourth of something? It was just an absolute killer. There was no need for to do that. Like, that's why I'm dropping him, if I'm dropping him, more because I don't want him to give away these penalties. You know, that's the reason why, yeah.
00:21:28
Jake
He was just scared, mate. He was just rattled. He was just rattled.
00:21:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:31
Jake
All it is, you can't blame the bloke too much, mate.
00:21:32
Chris
but
00:21:33
Jake
So when when Queensland were rolling like they were rolling, yeah, he was just doing his best. But yeah, yeah, I definitely understand point.
00:21:39
Chris
um but I was doing it last night in touch anyway, so I was feeling offside I still made a touch, not necessarily a gateway penalty.
00:21:44
Jake
Ha ha.
00:21:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:48
Tackles and Tinnies
But again, I think to sum this up, boys, New South Wales, besides Payne Haas and Brian Toto, no one's a lock in my eyes. Is that fair?
00:22:01
Jake
Yeah, id even ah even just lock in.
00:22:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:03
Jake
um Yeah, that that sounds fair. That sounds fair. Yeah. So, but yeah.
00:22:07
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. All right, boys. but ah On lighter notes, Supercoach, it's been ah It's been a stressful time for me, boys. the I've been bragging. I was out of the top 1%.
00:22:17
Chris
Thank you.
00:22:18
Tackles and Tinnies
Look at me. Yahoo, Yahoo. And I'm fading hard. I've been fading real hard. um I've dropped down to rank 4,639. I'm going to blame the ah the time lapse in New Zealand for this.
00:22:34
Tackles and Tinnies
Round 18 was not a good time for me. i was scrambling to get the 13 players. fire And all week I was just about to go into my caving expedition before I went rogue underground, 80 meters.
00:22:46
Tackles and Tinnies
was like, boys, Lawson I want to get rid of him and Chris Adam you're like don't get rid of Lawson easy enough he's perfect I'm like no need to get Lomax I need to get Marky Mark I'm like okay I'm gonna do a Marky Mark uh propose trade put the screenshot into the group chat uh Lawson for Marky Mark and he's like nah can't do it Ryan and I'm like fuck it I'm just gonna go 12 players for the week and then Mark pops off gets like 108 points that like folded me like 1,500 ranks down the um down the market there. And then last week, our saviour, Kane Bradley, came on through and Cleary, those boys absolutely saved me. But again, I've dropped 560 ranks. I've lost about 1,500 ranks from going New Zealand. So I'm hoping this Queensland soil on the Gold Coast here is going to rejuvenate my season for this home stretch. My team value has dropped, but I still have money in the bank.
00:23:45
Tackles and Tinnies
um 15.7 mil in team value, but I currently have 450,000 in the bank ready to go I've got five trades. I've got one definite trade I'm doing.
00:23:57
Tackles and Tinnies
But Chris, I want to hear what's happened with you, mate, from last week.
00:24:01
Chris
Yeah. um Yeah. Look, honestly, I'm sorry, Ryan. Like I told you, nah, just play 12 in round 18 and don't go Marky Mark. And, you know, next minute, I've got Marky Mark and I've got, I've paid a note and extra trade to go 13 players. And you come out of your coal your hole in the ground and you're going, guys, what happened? Why am I down?
00:24:23
Chris
and So I do apologize. I scored 1276 this week.
00:24:25
Tackles and Tinnies
All right. yes
00:24:30
Chris
I went off about like 80 ranks to 18-21 overall. And I just made the one trade last week. That was Sandard Smith to Blaise Talon, he scored 44.
00:24:41
Chris
Like, I'm happy. you know, I had green arrows for a third week. um I'm slowly moving back towards that 1%. But, you know, it's slow in minimal increments. The one thing that is annoying me is that I just keep pissing away points every week.
00:24:56
Chris
You know, because i make silly last second, you know, rash decisions, which are just low risk, high reward. Like um last week I said on this show, like my lesson for this week was not to be greedy and just simply loop my VC if it they go well.
00:25:10
Chris
And the example was last week, not looping Drinkies 99 and lucking out with Teddy's 77 captain. Well, this week, Teddy was my VC again and I didn't loop his 84. I impulsively put the C on Kira as five minutes before the game.
00:25:25
Chris
or because it felt vibey and because ah Ryan suggested so. So
00:25:29
Tackles and Tinnies
Get on it, bro. If Adam in the top bloody 0.001% says go for it and he's jumped on, got to go for it for sure.
00:25:44
Chris
doing these because they haven't been working out for me all season.
00:25:45
Tackles and Tinnies
What about
00:25:47
Chris
But ah yeah, oh well, it's fun.
00:25:51
Tackles and Tinnies
you, Jakey? What's happening your team?
00:25:53
Jake
I scored 1237 last week.
00:25:55
Chris
Hmm. Hmm.
00:25:58
Jake
um Yeah, I got green arrows i currently sitting in the 26,300 range. um Yeah, pretty easy to get some green arrows when you're sitting that high, I think. so um Yeah, 15.7 mil team value as well, Ryan.
00:26:14
Jake
So me and you are the same there. And yeah, I've made one trade this week. And after that, I've got 330 in the bank. So yeah, not a bad week last week. um I was originally bringing in...
00:26:31
Jake
Lomax from Saab. um But after the Queensland win Wednesday night, I went full vibes and I was like, you know what? Screw Lomax, bring in Holmes who had an absolute game.
00:26:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, bro. Let's go.
00:26:46
Jake
So yeah, I think I i lost about 15 points. Lomax got one, one win on us there. yeah, bos Yeah, still happy with bringing and homes but from Saab for sure.
00:26:59
Jake
I can't recall my second trade, to be honest, off the top of my head. um Even looking at my team, really struggling there. um But yeah, look, team's looking pretty good. I am down to two trades though after making one trade this week.
00:27:13
Jake
So I'm in a very scary place.
00:27:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Scary.
00:27:16
Jake
But the team is solid. So um I've got, yeah, full 18.
00:27:20
Chris
Thank you.
00:27:22
Jake
I had a full 18 last week, full 18 this week. Team's looking good. Team's looking strong. So I think it just comes down to those VC and C options and trying to get them right because they're burning me.
00:27:34
Jake
um Yeah, I think that head-to-head two weeks ago, Ryan, you beat me by one point. um And yeah, i didn't i didn't I didn't care too much at the time.
00:27:41
Tackles and Tinnies
Take that.
00:27:45
Jake
um But now it's in your face-to-face, mate. I think you being over in NZ just killed it. So yeah, you you got me there. so
00:27:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Had to take one, mate.
00:27:53
Jake
but Yeah. so no, it's good. Yeah. Hoping to definitely just ease up on my trades and let's like, there's some heavy injuries coming in now.
00:28:04
Jake
So I know it's how good, how good snow fun times.
00:28:04
Tackles and Tinnies
Not by choice, bro. You got two trains left. That's absolute vibe, though.
00:28:13
Jake
Yeah.
00:28:13
Tackles and Tinnies
That's vibes. ah Well, I actually didn't mention my score. I got 1,212. So captaincy option, obviously the Karaz, same as you there, Chris. um Should have looped Tedesco. Kind of had bloody Herbie on there all week. I'm like, nah, the Sharks are defensive are juggernauts.
00:28:33
Tackles and Tinnies
But sort of previewing captain's corner later on, man, I think Herbie's a VC for the rest of the year, honestly. Like if he's playing early in the week, VC Herbie, and if he gets like 80 points or 70 points, he's always going to upgrade like at least 15 points a game.
00:28:50
Tackles and Tinnies
I reckon it's just an easy VC. What are your thoughts on that before we get into the actual guys, Chris?
00:28:57
Chris
Oh, look, I totally agree you. I mean, he did get lucky. I mean, that was a huge forward pass, I think like a metre and a half. and he So he's picked up an extra 17 points. i I will say, i don't know if you've looked at team lists ah this week, but the Finns, they've got a very B-grade forward pack. You know, I think you still always BC Herbie if you can, but just don't be surprised if like, you know,
00:29:17
Chris
Like, at some point, like, you know, whether it's the cows this week or some other forward pack, just rolls them and just, Herbie doesn't get the same space or the same tries he's normally afforded. Like, it hasn't happened yet. And, I mean, last week he's, you know, he's scored 50 points, or 41 points in a space of 10 seconds, you know, and it was just him just running, making a dummy, you know, and just out of the line. So perhaps it doesn't matter, even forward pack, no forward pack, but, you know, hard to say, you know.
00:29:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Well, looking at the ah Cowboys' forward pack right now, they are not too red hot either besides Cotter and Nanai. So it could be a juicy play, especially with the first game of the round. And it'll be probably a dry track at Suncorp on Thursday night.
00:29:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:59
Tackles and Tinnies
um But, yeah, that's the option.
00:30:00
Chris
though
00:30:00
Jake
Yeah.
00:30:01
Chris
yeah
00:30:01
Tackles and Tinnies
per
00:30:01
Chris
to to caughtta
00:30:01
Tackles and Tinnies
then
00:30:03
Jake
Put your money where your mouth is, Rye.
00:30:03
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:30:05
Jake
Go hard. Go the VC herbs, mate. It's a great option.
00:30:07
Tackles and Tinnies
I'll just go straight C, I reckon.
00:30:08
Jake
It's a great option.
00:30:09
Tackles and Tinnies
Just flop it out. Yeah.
00:30:10
Jake
Oh, no. No, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that. VC, mate. VC.
00:30:16
Tackles and Tinnies
All right, boys. I think we're going to start looking at some players of interest. I mean, this is where Supercoach really heats up. All the mega buys and the minor buy rounds are done. Okay, this is where we're now we're really getting to Supercoach.
00:30:29
Tackles and Tinnies
And again, trades are very, very thin for a lot of players and people like Jake and I are very impulsive and we just want to ah go big and go home. But our teams are pretty set.
00:30:40
Tackles and Tinnies
But... Guys just keep getting injured. And again, it's killing everyone, not just guys like us on the podcast. Dylan Lucas, he's out and he's a sell. And I'm not sure if I'm going to sell him this week or next, um but I'm a looking at a guy like Hudson Young.
00:30:59
Tackles and Tinnies
So he's currently at or just under 750. got a break even at got a break haven a hundred and five um he's yeah He's owned by 11% of teams. So again, he's pod-ish. Again, that price is so high.
00:31:15
Tackles and Tinnies
What do you think on Hudson Young, Jake?
00:31:18
Jake
Yeah, great. he ah That's been exactly my trade this week with the Lucas injury. Lucas out young in. um He's got a high BE. He is a high price. So if you do have the numbers this week, um I guess you probably don't have to rush him in. But he is at home.
00:31:38
Jake
Against the Eels, Canberra are on top of the ladder. They're a great team. um Coming off the loss, he got the bye last week. um Had the loss, obviously, for Wednesday night.
00:31:50
Jake
um Yeah, I'm sure he'll be ready come out firing. um Probably got a better bit of anger in him. I reckon he's probably ready to rock up and have a good game. So yeah, easy easy trade for me this week, especially with the news of Cleary getting rested.
00:32:07
Jake
um With Cleary being rested, needed to make a trade um to actually have 18 this week. So yeah, it's a very straightforward one for me this week.
00:32:19
Jake
um But yeah, love it. Definitely love it. For people who are considering it, do it. Don't even overthink it. Yeah, great trade.
00:32:28
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, chris what are you thinking, mate?
00:32:31
Chris
I'm a little bit more cautious ah compared to Jake. Like, I mean, yeah, he's in the one traded player this week. And, you know, I know we've all been waiting, you know, post-origin to get him in. But I'm not exactly sure if he's like a slam dunk, Jake.
00:32:44
Chris
Like, I mean, one, I don't know enough about osteotitis, pubis injuries. You know, i I can only assume that, you know, it's something that he has to manage. And Ricky's probably going to get rest him as needed.
00:32:55
Chris
You know, so he might fall into that Ricky ricky rotation roulette thing. You know, um especially now that the Raiders, they've got the the minor premiership pretty much locked up. They've got another bye happening.
00:33:08
Chris
I agree that if you're going to get him, that you want to get him this week because he plays para, you know, because he scored 109 against him. Even if you don't get him this week, you know, and you go, oh I think the break-in is too high and I'll just wait a little bit, you know, he's still a good bye because they're their run home is great. They play, you know, Newcastle at home.
00:33:25
Chris
St George away and then in round 26, this is probably the more important one, the West Tigers, you know, that could be, he could go very big, you know, yeah.
00:33:34
Tackles and Tinnies
Especially in the head-to-head final there, if you manage to get there.
00:33:37
Chris
Hmm, hmm.
00:33:37
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, for sure. ah
00:33:39
Jake
I didn't know he was carrying an injury, to be honest.
00:33:39
Tackles and Tinnies
so I've actually had osteopubus. um Gary's actually looked after me. So I actually had to take six weeks off from um doing touch football from overuse of running and sprinting.
00:33:51
Tackles and Tinnies
um When you are not warm, it is quite painful. so So obviously he's getting pain injections, he's getting rest where he can. Once you actually get warmed up into it, it's not too bad, but it's just like, as soon as you cool down, it's just like, oh, like shit, you can't like really move.
00:34:08
Tackles and Tinnies
so Obviously, they get medical grade injections pregame and that's just – and I know for me personally when I had it, when I actually warmed up into it, didn't really affect my sprinting too much.
00:34:22
Tackles and Tinnies
So that's why I'm a bit more confident in regards to getting them in. If you can afford to get them in now and not worry about the buy due to your depth in the next coming weeks – I think, yeah, he's a must.
00:34:35
Tackles and Tinnies
Like, look at the Eels forward pack. I've got it here. Hopgood at eight, Riley Smith at nine, Junior Polo at 10, Geimer at 11, Jack Williams 12, Dylan Walker 13.
00:34:47
Tackles and Tinnies
And then obviously their bench is pretty mid. So if it's any week to get him in, even with that huge break even, again, money is not necessarily an issue for most teams now. get Pardon me, getting Nuffs in. i think And he said the Tigers as well coming up in that head-to-head grand final.
00:35:04
Tackles and Tinnies
I think he's a must. I think he's going to absolutely kill it. And again, as you said, regarding origin, not having the minutes there either, when especially when Liam Martin actually hurt his wrist and did still didn't get it on the field, I think he's really itching and proven a point that
00:35:20
Chris
That's scary. All I heard was, Ryan, was, hey, so long as you make more tackles, you make more hit-ups, you stay warm, you'll be okay. The one injury when your production goes up as opposed to going down.
00:35:32
Tackles and Tinnies
but
00:35:33
Chris
yeah
00:35:36
Jake
Yeah, well, i was completely naive that Hardy Young, yeah, it was carrying an injury.
00:35:38
Chris
to
00:35:41
Jake
um So, yeah, I don't know if that's like speculation and maybe an excuse for Wednesday night or something, Chris. Because, yeah, haven't heard anything about that.
00:35:47
Chris
wow
00:35:50
Jake
um But, yeah, look, that's a fair point.
00:35:52
Chris
okay
00:35:53
Jake
If he is carrying an injury, that does obviously add a bit of wariness to it.
00:35:54
Chris
but
00:35:57
Chris
Okay.
00:35:58
Jake
um it's big money, big break even. Yeah, money probably isn't an issue for a lot of teams. um It's definitely not something I'm concerned about. My trades are my issue now.
00:36:09
Jake
But yeah, if you've had it, Ryan, and it's manageable, um and yeah, obviously they're going to get top-tier treatment. Yeah, hes he's just got too much of a high ceiling, I think. He's had some blighted games. I think he's the highest averaging second row um forward this year. so yeah, I'm definitely happy to take the punt on him.
00:36:32
Jake
um And I'm even considering, yeah, chucking the VC on him this week.
00:36:38
Tackles and Tinnies
Well, then, Chris, if you're not vibing Hara Young, who would be a Dylan Lucas replacement for you then?
00:36:46
Chris
Well, like you, Ryan, I'm actually thinking about just leaving Dylan Lucas this week, ah personally, myself.
00:36:54
Jake
Thank you.
00:36:55
Chris
ah Part of it's actually because... um I know he doesn't lose money. Um, I am, I most likely will, I may or may not, but just to kind of just, um, preview things. I probably, I do want to get Payne Haas back in.
00:37:10
Tackles and Tinnies
Do
00:37:10
Chris
It's just, I'm missing him out by about 27, about 27 K at the moment. So I'm hoping he plays this week and he doesn't, he doesn't meet his break, even of a hundred. He scores like say 80 or something like that drops at 27 and I can pick him up for Luke.
00:37:23
Chris
I can trade Lucas to him straight up next week.
00:37:26
Jake
Lucas the Hearth, Bruce?
00:37:26
Chris
Um,
00:37:26
Tackles and Tinnies
I? I'm going to burst your bubble, mate.
00:37:28
Chris
Oh, actually, yeah, he doesn't play this week. ah two weeks In two weeks' time.
00:37:30
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, correct.
00:37:31
Chris
In two weeks' time.
00:37:31
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:37:31
Jake
Yeah.
00:37:31
Chris
Yeah, apologies.
00:37:32
Jake
Oh.
00:37:33
Chris
Apologies. Yeah. Yeah. um But I reckon, to be honest, you could honestly move Lucas just due to his duel and the flex.
00:37:44
Chris
You can move it to anybody you want, really, if you want to. I mean, if you if you don't like Hudson Young, for example, but, you know, you still like ah you still like the Raiders, you know. Hello, KO Weeks.
00:37:56
Chris
You know, he's like a number eight. most traded in, you know, he's had two tons, you know, like, and he scored that 156 against the Dargons, you know. um i The issue for him is that he's rocks and diamonds, obviously, you know, it can go massive, he can go low.
00:38:11
Chris
The issue for him is that he's not a flat track bully, believe it not. I know he scored big against the Dragons, but like he scored 24 against the Souths and he scored 39 against the West Tigers and he scored 27 against the Gold Coast Titans.
00:38:25
Chris
So, and I think the issue is, you know, if you want to just play him on good matchups, is a good matchup, really good matchup for him. And I'd still buy him, especially if you wanted the cash and, you know, you wanted vibes. I think the other person would be Dylan, Dylan Edwards, you know, now that Cleary's not playing, I think he's the one you want to really think about as well.
00:38:41
Chris
If you don't want to buy Hudson Young, um he's at 647 and, you know, he just got the world's four game easiest four game stretch.
00:38:43
Tackles and Tinnies
Well,
00:38:48
Chris
You know, it's, Souths, West Tigers, Gold Coast, Newcastle, you know, and then you can also think about getting on a Blaze or Brian Toppo stack as well if you want. Yeah, they're the ones I'd be thinking about, yeah.
00:39:02
Tackles and Tinnies
I think that's a pretty good segue with Dylan Edwards there because Pappenhausen, I wish I pulled the trigger, what, 10 weeks ago when I said his break even bloody crazy?
00:39:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:13
Tackles and Tinnies
Paul of the bloody year, not going to lie. Anyway, i'm a pussy and I didn't do it. um But yeah, Pappenhausen, not named again. Now, Jake, would you sell if you still own him or would you just hold another week?
00:39:29
Tackles and Tinnies
Doesn't sound too promising the news regarding him.
00:39:33
Jake
Look, i don't think I've heard too much other than just the calf tightness talk. um I am an owner of Pappenhausen. And yeah, I actually hadn't looked at the Panthers draw.
00:39:50
Jake
So hearing Chris just rattle off the next four games for Penrith. um Yeah, Pappenhausen to Dylan Edwards ah could easily be a given. But I don't have that luxury.
00:40:01
Chris
Thank you.
00:40:02
Jake
um When you're down to two trades, um if a player is out for one, two, three weeks for me at the moment, I'm happy to hold and wait for them to come back. um Yeah, obviously Lucas is out for the season, so I'm kind of happy to pull the trigger on Huddy Young this week.
00:40:19
Jake
But yeah, if there's people out there who have, yeah, six, seven, eight trades, um yeah, I'd probably be moving Papillon.
00:40:29
Jake
um He hasn't been in great form, hasn't been getting great scores for us lately. um He might have been carrying an injury that we weren't aware of, and that's kind of where it's been showing.
00:40:41
Jake
And then, yeah, now that he's been out for two weeks in a row, um he's got a high be Yeah, bring in a gun. Jump on Edwards. I feel like there's plenty of gun fullbacks.
00:40:52
Jake
um Even if like' a smoky one, you could start to look at Trell maybe. um Yeah, there's there's definitely some good fullbacks. Yeah. um Obviously, three-gun fullbacks has been a lot of talk this year, and a lot of people have been running that. So, yeah, chuck him into that flex, move him to whoever you want.
00:41:12
Jake
um Yeah, a lot of potential there for moving Pappy out, I think. But for me, um I won't be just because I don't. Down to two trades, can't do it.
00:41:23
Tackles and Tinnies
Chris, mate, what are you thinking?
00:41:24
Chris
Oh, yeah, for everybody who's not Jake, look, please sell the guy. Like, you cannot be holding a fullback who doesn't play for three weeks straight. Like, he's clearly injured. You've got to say goodbye. Yeah.
00:41:34
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:41:34
Chris
Yep.
00:41:36
Tackles and Tinnies
So last week I did a Pappenhausen to Val Holmes But now I'm going to be shifting Carapane. He's done his job. He's made me some cash. So Val Holmes goes back into ah the center wing.
00:41:44
Chris
Yep.
00:41:47
Tackles and Tinnies
Lawson, you've survived another day. Congratulations. um But, yeah, looking at Dylan Edwards. And we also spoke about in the um the group chat, Chris, a guy by the name of Recy Walsh.
00:42:01
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, Broncos are popping off, and I love the Broncos. And obviously i got the buy this week. And we're talking about not selling or sorry, going to trade. dealing ah Going to trade Pappenhausen out.
00:42:13
Tackles and Tinnies
Would you wait one more week to get Walsh in or there's too many other guys?
00:42:19
Chris
I um look I'm gonna still listen as my thoughts on race Walsh he is He's like buying crypto, but not Bitcoin.
00:42:31
Chris
We're talking about Polkadot. We're talking about Cardano. We're talking about Shiver, Asscoin, all these guys, all these shit coins.
00:42:41
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank
00:42:41
Chris
And not only that, but not during the good times. We're talking about the bear markets.
00:42:44
Tackles and Tinnies
you.
00:42:46
Chris
yeah He could be like, honestly, I had him last year and he was, oh, like, I own crypto and it's too much for me. resources is too That's my limit. That's what I've realized.
00:42:58
Jake
Thank you.
00:42:59
Chris
but um i would I think he's really good, but like you know he's averaging. you know like was it like is Was he averaging at the moment like 70, 80 or something? like He's really good, and but the problem is that he goes from he's a good start at 10, like 10 minutes ago, and it will be like on 80.
00:43:13
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Yeah.
00:43:13
Chris
And then you'll look at it and go, oh, wow, he scored well.
00:43:15
Chris
But, oh, man, the whole time you're shitting bricks as an owner. it's It's hard.
00:43:19
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:43:20
Chris
It's a hard watch, you know. So that's the thing, you know. I would only, go ah personally, I would only be going on him if you're a Broncos fan.
00:43:31
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:43:31
Chris
Just get any other fullback. It's not worth the it's not the work but's not worth the early premature hair loss yeah
00:43:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, God. Well, talking about um premature calls, the slander of the one and only Nico Hines, he's finally caught up to me.
00:43:51
Tackles and Tinnies
I've been giving him juju for the past like 10 rounds, probably a bit of PTSD from the start of the year when I owned him ah to Jerome Hughes.
00:43:52
Chris
Okay.
00:44:00
Tackles and Tinnies
ah Obviously scored the two tries, so his score was a a little bit inflated in my eyes. ah But again, he looked like he had that dog in him this week. Now, Chris, you're an owner of Nico Hines.
00:44:12
Tackles and Tinnies
You're a traitor. So ah what are your thoughts? Pretend to avoid the three-gun fullback with Pappenhausen and running that three-gun halfback at flex with Nico Hines or Hughes Cleary, whatever. What you thoughts on Nico for those guys who don't own him?
00:44:30
Tackles and Tinnies
Ask him for a friend.
00:44:30
Chris
Yeah, look ah look, look, I was like you, I was a Nico hater, but look, I have seen the light, you know, and I've and i've turned around and I'm back to being, you know, the president of the Nico support club, you know, like, look, I know like Nico's only been averaging 74 for the year, but that was the um down on confidence Nico who was letting Trindle take charge in games, you know, with that,
00:44:56
Chris
massive 137 plus score that he scored last week. He becomes a buy now, 100%. Mostly for two reasons. The first one, as you kind of alluded to, Ryan, like we've been waiting for signs of old Nico, you know, and we saw it last week. Like, you know, I know he's not going to score two tries every week. You know, you know, I think the stat said he hasn't done that since like 2022.
00:45:16
Chris
But what was important was seeing him run aggressively and directly at the line on the fifth, seeing him sweep several times, call for the ball, being angry when, you know, Bradley doesn't pass the ball to him.
00:45:19
Tackles and Tinnies
Yes. Yeah.
00:45:27
Chris
And then throwing that long cutout ball to Sione Katoa for that, you know, junk, you know, 20 plus points to score on the last play. Like how often have like you seen him in like the last 12 months when he's down the confidence, he just,
00:45:37
Chris
feebly just drifts across the line and he passes a ball to like a cutting forward and he just hopes that that forward just scores a try so he can pick up just junk.
00:45:46
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:45:47
Chris
You know, like it's lucky he plays with like Nikara and like AFB and like Tom Hazleton, you know, they're like some of the world's best try scorers, you know, in the front row.
00:45:54
Tackles and Tinnies
Mm-hmm.
00:45:55
Chris
But um the main, the other reason, and this is probably the more important of the two reasons actually, is if he continues to score big, then he just now becomes a valid VC option because he now takes advantage of the best draws on the run home.
00:46:09
Chris
I keep repeating this draw every week, Ryan, but it's worth repeating again because just because of how tasty it is. It's Roosters this week at home, then it's Souths, Cowes at home, St. George away, Gold Coast at home. Obviously, there's the buy in round 25.
00:46:26
Chris
And then he has Newcastle. Like, there's a lot of guns who can score 100, but there's only four of them that can score 130 plus consistently. That is Cleary, Drinkie, Turbo, and Nico.
00:46:37
Chris
really. So if he's running into this form, you saw it last year, he scored like 300 plus points games, you know, last year. And, you know, and then his price just rises and just goes through the roof to a million dollars.
00:46:49
Chris
And if you don't get him out, you could be in trouble.
00:46:52
Tackles and Tinnies
Mm, jeky.
00:46:54
Jake
Yeah, look,
00:46:56
Jake
I think with the Papillonas, essentially, and who are running those three-gun fullbacks, it's the perfect opportunity. um Yeah, I was looking at Nico and I'm like, yeah, that would he would be a great player to bring in.
00:47:11
Jake
um All for it, to be honest. um Maybe move away from the three-gun fullbacks. It hasn't really been working for us over the year with... Ponga hasn't been doing a great job. I know he's out now. Turbo obviously had his injury stint. We've got Pappy doing his thing now. Drinky has his moments of 21 points or whatnot.
00:47:32
Jake
So maybe the play all along was three gun halfbacks. Um, So yeah Hughes, Cleary, Hines, they're definitely the the top tier three. um And I personally have Cleary and Hughes and I was very happy with that.
00:47:50
Jake
um And now being down to two trades and seeing what Nico's doing, um it's very scary. It's scary not having him now. Yeah.
00:48:01
Jake
Yeah, so I'm lucky I'm a player or a person who has Braley. Maybe Braley's the man. He's been in form over the past month. Maybe he's the man who's unlocked Nico.
00:48:12
Jake
so um
00:48:12
Tackles and Tinnies
All
00:48:14
Jake
But yeah, for those who don't have Nico, once again, if you've got the trades, I really, really like it. Happy to Nico in that flex could be a perfect trade this week.
00:48:23
Tackles and Tinnies
right, I'm going to ask you both the same question. If you own Cleary and hughes And then you have like your two fullbacks could be Turbo, Tedesco, for example, for myself.
00:48:37
Tackles and Tinnies
At flex position, would you rather Dylan Edwards or Nico Hines and they're virtually the same price? Chris, who would you rather?
00:48:47
Chris
And we go.
00:48:49
Tackles and Tinnies
Jake.
00:48:49
Chris
we go.
00:48:50
Jake
Yeah, I'm going Nico too.
00:48:53
Tackles and Tinnies
So, boys, I pressed the button and I've undone the trade and Nico Hines is in the team. I'm scared. I feel dirty. I feel like I'm just gone.
00:49:06
Tackles and Tinnies
um so much slander. Nico Hines, if you're watching me right now, am sorry. I'm back. I love you. Do good for me.
00:49:14
Jake
All right, everyone.
00:49:14
Chris
Guys, we've hit you far at
00:49:16
Jake
Everyone jump off Nico. If Ryan is on, jump off Nico.
00:49:18
Chris
the top. We've hit the peak.
00:49:24
Tackles and Tinnies
I've been the jinx in the past couple weeks. Maybe I can say he's trash and he's going to score 10,000 points.
00:49:31
Chris
guys who hit we've hit you far at the top we hit the peak yes sell that up everybody
00:49:31
Jake
Look, honestly,
00:49:35
Jake
that... That side podcast chat all weekend, the jinx was on. Every single thing that was happening in that chat ended up happening.
00:49:41
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:49:42
Chris
stop
00:49:44
Jake
So um if it rolls into this week and it's moved into the podcast, yeah, if Ryan's going, Nico, be warned, be warned.
00:49:45
Tackles and Tinnies
Literally.
00:49:53
Tackles and Tinnies
and Oh, God.
00:49:53
Jake
So yeah, but now look, in all seriousness, it's good.
00:49:55
Tackles and Tinnies
um Well, listen in.
00:49:56
Chris
That's it.
00:49:58
Jake
It's good.
00:49:59
Tackles and Tinnies
Listen in.
00:49:59
Chris
That's it. Look, Edwards is not a bad choice. Edwards is not a bad choice. Again, it's a really good draw. It's just can he score 100-plus points every week like Nick are good 130-plus?
00:50:09
Tackles and Tinnies
Well, I think I'm not confident Dylan Edwards is going to convert either.
00:50:09
Chris
And I don't think he can. Yeah.
00:50:12
Tackles and Tinnies
So it's like, again, that 10 points difference.
00:50:14
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:15
Tackles and Tinnies
They're both in good teams. We've always talked in the past couple of weeks, especially that we need to avoid the guys in bad team or good players on bad teams. Both these guys are teams were in form or the Sharks are slowly getting back to form, but obviously the Panthers are running red hot.
00:50:30
Tackles and Tinnies
But if I knew Dylan Edwards was converting, I'd probably be more inclined just due to his base and power. Uh, But yeah, let's just do it. Fuck it. Where we're on, boys. Nico Hines, he's in.
00:50:43
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:50:44
Chris
and
00:50:44
Jake
Well, Edwards will be converting this week.
00:50:45
Tackles and Tinnies
Listen, I want to hear you in the comments. Have I made a bad trade? Is Nico Hines overrated or should I reverse it and just go my gut with Dylan Edwards?
00:50:51
Chris
yes
00:50:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Let me know in the comments. Who should I have in?
00:51:00
Chris
He's joined the dark side. Hey, but speaking of what Jake was saying, actually, I just want to touch on Blake Braley. Man, he's been awesome, honestly.
00:51:10
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:51:10
Chris
He's just like getting line breaks of fun.
00:51:12
Chris
Like, I just want to say, if for anybody who's still stuck at Hooker, if you haven't bought Grant or Watson, I'd probably say, probably just get Braley. And then just watch everybody else shit bricks for the next couple of weeks when they watch Shard games.
00:51:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, kind wish I went the pod move.
00:51:25
Chris
Yeah, it'll be good. Yeah. Great pod.
00:51:29
Jake
Yeah, I i think Braley is the hooker to have. um yeah if Yeah, exactly that, Chris. If you don't have a gun hooker and you're looking for a gun hooker, I'd be picking Braley over Grant and Watson.
00:51:45
Jake
Yeah, he's just he's just in hot form and you've just got to roll with it. Yeah.
00:51:52
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. i So obviously Braley, he's unlocked that running game. He hasn't had it all year and obviously someone's told him actually run the ball and use your athleticism and it looks like a different team and obviously ah that quicker play the ball and Rucksby now is helping Nico Hines. So Jake, i'm I'm running off your ah Braley pick to my Nico Hines pick and Let's ah watch Nico Hines get 12 points.
00:52:17
Tackles and Tinnies
So I'm going to tank the top 10% of everyone here.
00:52:21
Chris
but
00:52:23
Tackles and Tinnies
um Jake, is there any guys that you're absolutely looking at but you can't really get in, obviously due to your circumstances?
00:52:26
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:52:29
Tackles and Tinnies
And are there any must-have guys for the run home for you?
00:52:33
Jake
Yeah, I've got a wish list, definitely.
00:52:35
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep, let's hear it.
00:52:36
Jake
um Yeah, coming towards the end of the season. um What is it? Christmas in July or whatever it is kind of thing. So I've got a list, mate.
00:52:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank you.
00:52:46
Jake
Look... Obviously, it depends on what what guys you've got on your team, but probably the one I definitely continuously think about is Herbie. um Yeah, he's the top center wing that I just um i missed out on.
00:53:00
Jake
um It is a trade I'm considering of possibly Asako, maybe, to Herbie. um But I just don't think I have the luxury with my only my two trades.
00:53:12
Jake
So, yeah um I secretly want... Osaka to have an absolute blinder on the weekend, get like a triple and then accidentally rule himself out or something to force my hand to bring in Herbie.
00:53:26
Jake
But that's not going to happen. Lomax, obviously, he's another gun center winger.
00:53:31
Chris
Thank you.
00:53:33
Jake
um To'o is, I guess, I feel like a bit of a smoky one. um But yeah, depending on what people have got there.
00:53:38
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:53:41
Jake
So yeah, Hines was on my list as well with, yeah, even Jaden Campbell and Grant are probably some of my other favorites as well. So yeah, I think I ratted off about eight names. So I'm only getting two of those if I'm lucky. Um, so yeah, the wishlist is long. i just start daydreaming now. So, um, my potluck is going to be what position goes down, what injury is it and yeah, who do, who do I bring in?
00:54:13
Jake
So
00:54:14
Chris
Jakey, I thought your wish list was just the Queensland Origin team and then I heard Tot O and Lomax and I was like, what?
00:54:21
Jake
Hey, hey, look, they're still stars.
00:54:22
Chris
you
00:54:24
Jake
They're still stars. They're just not as good as us Queenslanders. That's all. So, yeah.
00:54:30
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, they can't be folding boys like ah Val Holmes, that's for sure. um Now, there's a guy by the name, and it's pretty smoky chat here, and he's been popping off in recent times, but Talis Duncan...
00:54:48
Tackles and Tinnies
Bit of a pod player. He's moved to center, unfortunately, but I thought he could have been a potentially a good option if he went back to second row. ah Chris, what are your thoughts on Talos Duncan if he was in second row?
00:55:00
Chris
Yeah, look, i i saw i knew that he was I saw he was named at centre this week, but I am about 99% sure that, you know, because Ewan Aitken's back as well. he's named it He was named at 11. I reckon they switch, you know but when you know, when they actually, you know, run out on the field.
00:55:16
Chris
um he's He's been killing it, but except you know but he's 702K. We've missed out on him. You know, he's scored two doubles. in two weeks it's just insane like just i think you just missed the boat on him sadly yeah i wouldn't be getting me now yeah at all
00:55:35
Tackles and Tinnies
Jakey, you, mate?
00:55:38
Jake
Yeah, i wouldn't be interested him either.
00:55:38
Chris
to say
00:55:42
Jake
That would be, you'd be just hoping for everything to go right again. He's obviously in good form and he's scoring some tries. um So he's doing a good job, but yeah, super, super risky.
00:55:58
Jake
Yeah, I don't even know if he's like a lock-in to start kind of thing for them. So yeah, is is Cameron Murray coming back this year?
00:56:08
Tackles and Tinnies
No, he had an infection with his ah his surgery. So he had a bit of a setback.
00:56:14
Jake
Okay, yeah, yeah, I missed that then.
00:56:17
Tackles and Tinnies
And obviously with the rabbit holes being trashed.
00:56:17
Jake
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:19
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:56:20
Chris
Yeah, I would paraphrase.
00:56:21
Jake
I think, yeah.
00:56:22
Chris
and Sorry, you go, Jake. Sorry.
00:56:24
Jake
No, I think, where are rabbits? 16th on the ladder, I think, from memory. So, yeah, like, they obviously aren't in great form. um Yeah, the Titans even have a chance of beating them.
00:56:36
Jake
So, um yeah, i'd I'd be avoiding Talos.
00:56:42
Chris
Yeah, i was going to just paraphrase. if you want to get a second row forward, you can actually score tries reliably. Just get Hudson Young. Yeah.
00:56:47
Tackles and Tinnies
if True. but On a good team. On a good team.
00:56:51
Chris
yeah
00:56:51
Jake
let's but Let's watch Talis Duncan outscore Huddy Young this weekend. Thanks, Chris.
00:56:59
Tackles and Tinnies
um I'm just having a look at the ah the top 5% here and Kalani going. So obviously we're potentially looking to nuff out a hooker.
00:57:09
Tackles and Tinnies
So Sandon Smith, since Hugo Savala is out, there was potential of Sandon Smith going into that 5'8 position, but it's obviously apparent that he's definitely out of favour and more than likely not going to be at the Roosters next year, hence why he's not getting selected this week.
00:57:24
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, Chris, would you go Kalani going or would you just hold Sandman for the rest of the year?
00:57:31
Chris
I sold him last week, um only because I've already got Kalani Goings and i need a and I needed a hooker who could actually play. i um My belief is depends if you're low on trades and if you need his money.
00:57:45
Chris
if you Kalani Goings is the probably the best enough by far throughout the game. it's The hooker's second row forward is actually unbelievable, if I'm being perfectly honest. you know I think it's even better than Kane Bradley's duel.
00:57:59
Chris
um I would say if you have enough trades and you don't need the money, just leave them, you know. And then all even then, even if you don't have enough trades, don't trade them out. You know, you got them at 200 was it, do we get them at at the beginning of the year?
00:58:14
Chris
um it That being said, I mean, I don't think he's playing again. That's the good thing in a weird way. Like the good thing is that, because that way you don't worry about him becoming AE emergency, he's not randomly starting at 14 or stuff like that. Like, I mean, if Chad's out, if you're getting,
00:58:30
Chris
chad townsend is getting picked before you yeah yeah you out of favor yeah
00:58:36
Tackles and Tinnies
The only thing I will say about... sent on Smith is that generally in round 27, anyone who would be starting the following week essentially gets rested.
00:58:47
Tackles and Tinnies
So when you're scrambling to get numbers in round 27, Santa Smith might be that little pod player at the very end there where you could get those extra points.
00:58:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:58
Tackles and Tinnies
So guys like that who you think, oh, out of favor, not going play anymore, they're the guys in round 27 where everyone struggles to get like five players, let alone... 18 players, he's the type of guy that you sort of want.
00:59:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, Jakey.
00:59:13
Chris
and That's interesting actually, that's really interesting, especially he's 140 back in Anzac Day, that round.
00:59:18
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:59:19
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:59:20
Tackles and Tinnies
He wanted to make a point. i don't know if he's signed anywhere or he's still in the contract for next year with the Roosters. Probably going to get released, whatever. But yeah, he's probably going want to pop off in that last game, assuming that he plays. Now, Jake, I'm pretty sure you own him as well.
00:59:34
Tackles and Tinnies
But our man, Asako, I've held him too long and I really wanted to see him without Nick Arima because I thought they'd be going right a little bit more.
00:59:45
Tackles and Tinnies
He's just not getting the ball and I don't blame the Dolphins because Herbie Farmworth, my God, he is good and my God, he looks good. But what are our thoughts on um the Iceman, Isako?
00:59:57
Jake
Yeah, i obviously have the Iceman and that's probably been one of my biggest thought process this week is to pull the trigger on him straight to Herbie.
01:00:01
Chris
Thank you.
01:00:06
Jake
um The only thing that stops me doing it is obviously my low trades and the fact that he converts for them. So yeah, he he seems to be getting like some points there, but he just doesn't get the ball.
01:00:17
Tackles and Tinnies
Mm-hmm.
01:00:24
Jake
that's That's the biggest issue. um But the the times that they do go right, there is that there is promise there, essentially. He can get big scores. He knows how to finish.
01:00:38
Jake
um He's still a great player, Asako. So yeah. yeah I guess it all comes down to trades. I think if you've got enough trades, I would actually be getting rid of him.
01:00:51
Jake
And because I just feel like there's too many other guns. Like if you don't have Herbie, go Herbie, Lomax, To'o. I feel like To'o, like with that run home now for the next four games, looking at their draw could be a great choice. Yeah.
01:01:05
Jake
Yeah, it depends on who you've got. Like if you don't have Karaz, Garrick. So there's a lot of names that I'm pretty sure a lot of people do have. But yeah, I'd be keen to actually jump off Asako.
01:01:19
Tackles and Tinnies
what are you thinking, Chris?
01:01:21
Chris
Well, ah let me give you one more stat, sorry. When it comes to who to keep and sell on your team, my formula is simply this. If I have a player who will be playing the Souths, the Cows, the Tits, the Dargons, or the Tigers, I'm keeping them at any point for the run home.
01:01:42
Chris
Basically, these teams concede the most 80-plus scores. Like, Souths concede 46, six times, ah Cows 45, Tits 42, Dragons Tigers When it comes to 100-plus scores, it's not even close.
01:01:58
Chris
Southsend Cowboys, they conceded 2200-plus scores each. ah titsa The tits of the Knicks at 16. So if you're asking me whether, you know, I'm ah going to sell a Sarko this week, mate, I might even VC him, honestly.
01:02:11
Chris
it's it's the same as It's the same as Herbie, you know, like but he's due but he's due for, you know, a big score again. So you can go sell him 100%, but I wouldn't sell him this week.
01:02:23
Chris
you know, when he's playing the Cowboys. Yeah.
01:02:26
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, um would I think it's Jackson, Paulo and Braden Burns' side. um Yeah, that's bit spicy, isn't it? A bit spicy. It's just – it just gets no more.
01:02:37
Jake
Yeah, Chris is pulling out the smarts.
01:02:37
Chris
It'll be Murray Talungi. Murray Talungi, but, yeah.
01:02:40
Jake
Yeah, Chris is pulling out the smarts.
01:02:41
Tackles and Tinnies
um I'll just – yeah.
01:02:41
Chris
Murray Talungi something.
01:02:42
Jake
That's good. It's a fair point.
01:02:46
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
01:02:47
Chris
like's got a bat I know he's got a big big break even, but if you going sell him, you would have sold him.
01:02:47
Tackles and Tinnies
It's like –
01:02:50
Chris
Last week at a big break even, we all kept him. and so I know so we had a player for round 19, but yeah, still selling, but just not this week.
01:02:56
Jake
Yeah.
01:02:59
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:59
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
01:03:00
Chris
Against the cows. Like if he goes bad, then Hey, you can next week, you tell me all about it. But like, if he goes big and you, you lose the score, ah, it's, it's just annoying. It's just really annoying.
01:03:10
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Yeah. No, that's fair enough. ah There was also another guy I wanted to talk about, and it's our boy Tom Trebojevic. Now, I know Manly has a very tough draw, but bloody hell he looked good the other week.
01:03:27
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, Jakey, what are your thoughts? You got turbo, haven't you, Jake?
01:03:31
Jake
I do, mate. Yeah, I'm all for him at the moment.
01:03:32
Chris
um
01:03:32
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Welcome. Yeah. So all these um these fake turbo lovers in our group chat, i.e.
01:03:35
Jake
um
01:03:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Chris and Adam, they sold early. Sucked into you. What are your thoughts, Jake?
01:03:46
Jake
Yeah, i I think I was on the turbo hate train initially.
01:03:47
Chris
the
01:03:51
Jake
um ah he just with his injury scares, he he just wasn't in good form. He looked horrible. um And people were pretty keen to throw some w risk at him and give him him ah give him a shot essentially.
01:04:05
Jake
um and yeah i wasn't about that but as soon as um he's kind of come back had a decent game moved into the centers i was like i'm all for it um he's still a gun player take that little bit of workload off him
01:04:12
Chris
Thank you.
01:04:20
Jake
um I feel like it was always going to be a given that he was going to have a bit of a free pass to roam a little bit. So yeah, he's still going to have some great attack, I feel, and doesn't have to do so much in defense now.
01:04:34
Jake
And yeah, he's a beast when he's on. like is I think he's like the best super coach scorer of all time like when he's on.
01:04:40
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
01:04:41
Jake
So yeah, if you have Turbo, I'd be definitely holding him. If you want to bring him in, Yeah, I don't know if I'd be bringing him in, like especially not this week, down at Amy Park against the Storm.
01:04:55
Jake
um Yeah, I ah definitely like Turbo, but yeah, not this week. There's better options this week.
01:05:03
Tackles and Tinnies
He's just so very potty, 8.4%. And again, unfortunately, he didn't get that center wing jewel because, my God, that would have been fantastic. Next year, I reckon he's an automatic center wing lock for our super coach.
01:05:17
Tackles and Tinnies
But, Chris, what are your thoughts on Turbo? Because you're a coward and you sold.
01:05:21
Jake
Thank you.
01:05:21
Chris
i Look, if I'm a holder, I'm so happy. You know, like, if I'm a holder, yeah. Because, know, but, I again, you know, like, mate, he was versing, like, Talos Duncan at the centre, man. Come on.
01:05:35
Chris
I, okay, not me, but, like, hey. There's a few players who could probably score 123 last week, or two weeks ago, against him. But, so yeah, it's a difficult draw. I agree with Jakey. I think the issue is dis- Buying this week, like, we're all looking at, you know, you're either looking at ah Dylan Edwards, Luttrell, Lomax, and then Nico Hines, you know, like these players. Like, ah you buy are you telling me that you're buying Turbo over any of these four players?
01:06:09
Chris
You know, yeah. I mean, that's the hardest bit.
01:06:12
Tackles and Tinnies
It's getting the point now, though, because obviously we're looking at break-evens.
01:06:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:06:17
Tackles and Tinnies
He's 564K. He's got a negative 9 break-even. Let's say he probably gets the 60 projection. He's going to go up up to about 610K. Definitely still viable range.
01:06:30
Tackles and Tinnies
But again, Everyone's got very similar teams. And if you're really looking like i having a punt here, as you said earlier, Chris, guys like Dylan Edwards is going to one of the most sought-after trades this week or even Latrell Mitchell potentially, but obviously not ah too advantageous with the finals or head-to-heads, which might deter some people.
01:06:52
Tackles and Tinnies
I like the turbo vibe. Obviously, I've got him little bit biased. I'm praying you know I'm going to put the jinx on him. But um yeah, you're not vibing it.
01:07:03
Chris
Nah Nah I mean I I I get what you I get what you're saying Really I think that this week The biggest issue and and I mean I know we talk about important to get pods and stuff that But I don't think go crazy with them Like um I think the biggest issue over the next coming weeks and even this week will be, see who do you sit?
01:07:23
Chris
Who do you start? Like last week, for example, I i i played Tino and I sat Adam Dewey, you know, who's had the hot hand and he scored 110. And ten if I just literally played Adam Dewey, like, I mean, I know, I know, like who would be playing Adam Dewey over Tino, but this is what saying, but that was, that's still, but yeah but still that's still 40 points,
01:07:39
Tackles and Tinnies
me round one to ten.
Fantasy Matchups and Player Selections
01:07:44
Chris
you know, and this week, I think the biggest issue is just,
01:07:45
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
01:07:47
Chris
you know, like, just the juicy matchups that are available, you know, like, you know, you know do you cat do you play Jaden Campbell? Do you play Turbo? Like, if you play Turbo, you can't you might not be able to play Munster or Jaden Campbell or whatever it is, you know, because you don't have a reserve possible. and I think that's probably more important really didn oh i need to have a pod for Turbo specifically. and And I think where you would play Turbo and sometimes not playing would be, hey, if he's got a really good matchup and his draw is really difficult as well. So you can't really, so every time you play Turbo against a hard team, you're hoping that another player who you don't play doesn't go off.
01:08:26
Chris
you know that's that's the issue you don't have that necessary certainty I mean 100% like Nick's this week again he's playing Storm and he scores 120 again you see him absolutely just rope sweeping down that left you know you see Adam complaining about Lehigh Hopper Whitey not you know getting that sweep on the left you know yeah 100% perhaps we have all have to look at yeah have to look back and know go grab and you know bit i think at the moment i don't think you have to go crazy pods at the moment. Just picking your correct sit and start, that's all that really matters.
01:08:54
Chris
Picking your correct captain, you know, or your VC captain is probably more important than trying to pick a crazy pod.
01:09:00
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah I was just thinking just then talk about pods I think we're going to go back to the heavy farm worth thing Jake I think you just get him in like suck it up like he's so durable I can't even think the last time he was injured I'm touching all the wood on my desk right now by the way ah
01:09:19
Chris
keep praising keep praising ryan i love it keep doing it that the jinx is coming
01:09:22
Tackles and Tinnies
I'll be seeing But yeah, Jake, I actually reckon you have to get him in personally. He's just gunned. Absolutely gunned.
01:09:32
Jake
You're right. he is He is a gun. It's something I'll be considering pretty much all the way up until kickoff. um But at this stage, I'm leaning towards a no. Yeah. ah yeah Down to two trades.
01:09:45
Jake
um I think Chris, your rule with yeah your Titans, your cows, your Knights and Tigers kind of scoreline or whatnot and big scores there.
01:09:56
Jake
I think my rule now for the rest of the season is I'm only trading out a player if they're season ending injury for me. um Yeah, i've I've been making a lot of trades. um Yeah, so unless some guns are out for four, five, six weeks or they're done for the year, um that's where my trades will be happening now.
01:10:17
Jake
but um But yeah, for those who have more trades than I do, yeah, Herbie is definitely pretty much one of the number one picks.
01:10:23
Tackles and Tinnies
But Jake, mike my query for you is as a pure head-to-head player, not even do overall, like having overall Herbie, like if you don't have him, you're going to be tanked down the ladder anyway.
01:10:28
Jake
ah know.
01:10:33
Tackles and Tinnies
But can you really see yourself in week one of the finals, if you do make it in both our leagues, that you're going up against Herbie VC every single week? is that Can that really sit right with you?
01:10:47
Jake
Well, that's if... So when when finals do come around, so I'm actually...
01:10:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, like round 24, for example.
01:10:54
Jake
Yeah, so I'm... I feel like I'm in finals for one out of two comps. I'm 50-50, like if I'm lucky in my second comp, which is a shame.
01:11:07
Jake
Um, and that's where I'll, that's when I'll pull the trigger. That's where it's just screw the injury risks. Um, those two trades bringing the top tier guns. If I don't have them in my team, um, ditching, bringing in the weapons.
01:11:17
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
01:11:21
Jake
So, uh, we've still got what four weeks till finals.
01:11:21
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
01:11:25
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
01:11:26
Jake
Um, um, So a lot can happen in four weeks.
01:11:28
Tackles and Tinnies
That's good rationale. Yep.
01:11:30
Jake
Yeah. So that's, that's yeah. Personally from, from, for me, that's my approach, but like quickly going back at turbo real quick. Sorry, before we moved on from him, um, looking at the storm Eagles lineup, I believe turbo is up against how I think came, came Bradley this week.
01:11:50
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, juicy.
01:11:50
Jake
Um,
01:11:52
Tackles and Tinnies
That's juicy.
01:11:52
Jake
Yeah, so I ah know they've got a tough matchup, um the Seagulls going down to Amy Park, but that is that's great for Tommy Turbo.
01:12:04
Jake
Oh,
01:12:05
Tackles and Tinnies
Is Turbo left or right?
01:12:06
Chris
No, he's right. It should be against Xavier Coates and Grant Anderson, I think, more so.
01:12:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Still, that's not shocking either, though.
01:12:12
Jake
have i got I got that wrong?
01:12:13
Chris
Yeah. the the left their left wing Their left edge is much, much better defending.
01:12:15
Tackles and Tinnies
Like, they're not...
01:12:20
Chris
However, it doesn't matter with Turbo because he sweeps left and then he attacks that right. That right very like defensive lapsed Melbourne side.
01:12:26
Jake
Yeah. Yeah.
01:12:30
Chris
Yeah.
01:12:31
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, it's not the best Melbourne defensive unit, definitely, that's for sure. And, like, yeah, it's still very, very juicy.
01:12:34
Chris
No. No.
01:12:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, Chris, is there any boy ah yeah ah chris does any boys you want to talk about in particular?
01:12:39
Jake
Yeah.
01:12:39
Chris
ah do like you I do like approach, Jakey, in terms of, yeah, just leap. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, only trade if you need injuries. And then and and when you do get in for the first week, then you can bring Herbie in. Yeah, I like that. That's smart.
01:12:51
Jake
yeah
01:12:57
Chris
Not particularly. I will do a quick shout out to Britton Nickra. He's been really good, actually. And again, probably just be that Nico and that Blake Braley kind of just unlocking him.
01:13:07
Chris
Yeah, he's been really, really good.
01:13:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Let's
01:13:09
Chris
It's been nice. I would also just point out Drinkie as well. I know we've been talking about Pappy, but Drinkie's also been hard as well. like I know it's very hard not to put the reserve on this week.
01:13:19
Chris
But, you know, I think there's a stat that I saw. When Perdue's at centre, he's scoring averaging 122, five-game average. With Perdue at 5'8", his five-game average is 59.
01:13:32
Chris
Yeah. So 70-point difference.
01:13:35
Tackles and Tinnies
see you, Jay.
01:13:35
Chris
Insane. Yeah. Yeah.
01:13:37
Tackles and Tinnies
That is huge. um Well, I think talk about some guys potentially to sell and this sort of goes into my trade for the week via the new unsung hero of Nico Hines with Val Holmes going into a center wing.
01:13:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, ah Desire Karapani. So I mentioned him earlier. He's done a very serviceable job getting me that cash to pretty much a very, very gun team.
01:14:06
Tackles and Tinnies
He's on a desirable edge at the Broncos. He's on a winning team. The boys are hot throbbers there. um What are our thoughts on selling Carapane, Jake?
01:14:17
Jake
Yeah, I guess it depends on who you've got in your center wing position. um I feel like there is so many great potential buys that we've already been discussing today, tonight.
01:14:27
Jake
um Yeah, so he has been doing a great job, Karapani. He has been finding the line a lot. It would be very interesting to see what kind of score he gets without finding the line.
01:14:40
Jake
um So yeah, if if you can jump up to someone like a Lomax or a Herbie or whoever you're kind of missing as that, yeah, those guns in center wing, then yeah, i'd I'd personally be selling him.
01:14:56
Jake
But it's not a must, I don't think.
01:14:58
Tackles and Tinnies
Thank
01:14:59
Jake
Yeah. Yeah, he he has been doing a great job. And I think Broncos are finding some good form as well. Like MAM's back, Walsh is back, Hunt is back in that hooker role now for them.
01:15:11
Jake
um That's kind of the dream spine that I think they've been wanting all year. And when MAM did come back, Hunt was out injured. So be very interesting to see how the Broncos do go moving forward now as well. Yeah.
01:15:27
Jake
Yeah, I think the Broncos are actually ready to find some great form. So yeah, i it's a tough one. um Yeah, he's definitely not ah not a must sell in any way.
01:15:38
Chris
Mm-hmm.
01:15:40
Jake
If you wanted to hold him, go for it. But if you can turn him into an absolute gun, I think that's a great choice.
01:15:48
Tackles and Tinnies
um Yeah, ah think he I think he actually has to be sold really. like Unless you're playing in like center wing six, there's just too many good guys you can plop in there. And I think going missing out on too many points if you are are not doing that.
01:16:05
Tackles and Tinnies
And I'm just looking at um yeah the lineups. And Chris, this probably most relevant to you, mate. This is the Bulldogs and it's the halfback. It's our boy, Lockie Galvin. Bit off Supercoach here, but what are your thoughts on Lockie Galvin starting at halfback?
01:16:21
Chris
Uh, yeah, why not? You know, um actually part of, part of me, pop part of me, the evil part of me thinks, yes, do it. Then you can, you know, you guys can watch your, your season implode. We've met halfback.
01:16:35
Chris
You know, love it. Great. You know, Gus, you deserve it. You know, you know, uh, sold me down the, sold me down the, uh, the well saying, um, look, Queensland, there's no path for victory for them. You know, you deserve it, mate. You know, um, but, um,
01:16:49
Chris
I would say that I think it's good. i mean, i personally, I thought Sexton wasn't that great um but last week. You know, he a little bit down on confidence, you know, and and i think you I think you start looking for the future, really. He's not playing. He's not going with him next year. You might as well start now.
01:17:06
Chris
You know, if it doesn't work out, at least just play him. If it really doesn't work out, Gav, at least you know. At least you know now. And then you go back to Sexton for the rest of the year and just go, yeah we'll just ride him and then Gav will start again 2026. really. But at the moment they have this huge dilemma, but I go, do we, do we play him? Do we not play him?
01:17:23
Chris
Um, I think you just have to make a call and just play and say, and if he goes massive and you go, well, we're all vindicated. And then the Bulldogs all back into happy ways. Yeah. Yeah.
01:17:32
Tackles and Tinnies
Jakey, thoughts?
01:17:34
Jake
Yeah, it's...
01:17:38
Jake
I wouldn't be buying him for Supercoach. um But yeah, in terms of like purely just going off the Canterbury Bulldogs, yeah, they've they've probably made the right decision.
01:17:49
Jake
um they've they've They've thrown their backing behind Galvin and decided that he is the future for the club. um And then, yeah, they've obviously let let Sexton go. so Yeah, probably now is the time then to to kind of lock that in.
01:18:05
Jake
um As for Sexton being down on confidence, can't blame the bloke. Like, yeah, they were doing so well. I don't think the dogs made the right decision, to be honest. They didn't need Galvin. i were They had great cohesion. The club was firing.
01:18:20
Jake
um Everyone was talking about the dogs, like, and it was their their year. And the whole narrative for them has just changed. People aren't even talking about them it being their year anymore.
01:18:31
Jake
um so And they've only had a couple of losses, but I feel like it's kind of been after the the Galvin signing. So, um yeah, I can understand them definitely chucking him in the seven row because that's obviously what they wanted him for. So, yeah, it'd be interesting to see how he goes.
01:18:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. I'm finally just happy. They've just pulled the trigger. Like obviously they've got what, seven rounds to the finals, sort of like echoing what you said, Chris, if it doesn't work in the next probably three weeks, got to give them least a couple of weeks there at half back.
01:19:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Um, cause it doesn't work. I would say like the start around 24, then you go back to the old ways and they'd literally just drop Galvin. I think don't put him in the, um, 17, give me 18th man every single game.
01:19:17
Chris
yeah
01:19:19
Tackles and Tinnies
Um, Yeah, give it a go. Four weeks. Obviously, the upside's there, like we know that. And many teams, including the Gold Coast Titans, have dropped Sexton. And I'm never going to bag player legitimately. always bit of banter and tongue-in-cheek, don't me wrong. But it's never an aggressive attack. But I want to echo this as well. but Sexton's been dropped from several clubs due to the fact that he's been difficult.
01:19:42
Jake
Thank you.
01:19:46
Tackles and Tinnies
All the coaches have seen some and they don't like him for some reason. And now that's two clubs, ah think, or to definitely two clubs, maybe three. Yeah. he's obviously quite serviceable on the field, but the upside, again, we always look at upside, the upside of Galvin at halfback, which I still think he's a 5'8", the upside there of him being there definitely puts them in another tier if the team can click.
01:20:14
Tackles and Tinnies
um I think it's going to help everyone on the field. Like, obviously, if Galvin's coming off the bench, Reid Martin's like, well, I can't make a mistake. Everything's going perfect. I'm probably only going play 50 minutes if...
01:20:25
Tackles and Tinnies
ah Galvin's coming off the bench. Sexton's be like, well, if I make one bad pass or one bad kick, I'm probably getting straight to the bench. And then, yeah, it's a rippling effect. So Toby Sexton being at the 22 jersey, I think it was, I saw.
01:20:39
Tackles and Tinnies
um Yeah, it's a no-brainer. Jersey 23, so he's definitely on the bottom of the bench. Give it a crack, see what it looks like. And... um See if the doggies can ah get some cohesion. least they've got some clarity. At least the coach has made the hard choice for sure.
Captaincy Choices and Risks
01:20:58
Chris
ah Jake and Ryan, I know this not relevant to Supercoach, but I saw this meme the other week where it was like the top four teams, their halfbacks, Jerome Hughes, Tanner Boyd, Jamal Fogarty, and who do we talk about Just this, Colin? Yeah, Toby Sexton. They're the top four teams in the NRL competition.
01:21:24
Tackles and Tinnies
right you can You can talk Sexton, you can talk Tanner Boyd, but the one that annoys the most, and I was talking to Sambo and Randall at the footy on the weekend, just the Jamal Fogarty one made no sense.
01:21:26
Chris
so
01:21:39
Tackles and Tinnies
No sense. Like, he was literally the Titans captain, arguably their best player, minimum top three, he gave a shit. He was so good for them. And then it's like, nah, let's go Toby Sexton.
01:21:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Unproven player. And then I just don't get it.
01:21:56
Jake
It was the Josh Papali chase down. It was the Josh Papali chase down.
01:22:00
Tackles and Tinnies
Cause I'm pretty sure.
01:22:02
Jake
That's what got him. Honestly, soon as that happened, yeah, then it was like the Titans just saw something in Jamal, I think. But no, in all seriousness, yeah, i agree.
01:22:14
Jake
So imagine if we still had Hughes. Oh, my Lord.
01:22:17
Tackles and Tinnies
Right.
01:22:17
Jake
Like,
01:22:18
Tackles and Tinnies
Well, the Jerome Hughes one, fair enough. Like he went to Melbourne and learned how to play halfback.
01:22:20
Jake
yeah.
01:22:21
Chris
Yeah. you know
01:22:23
Tackles and Tinnies
But the Jamal Fogany one and like he wanted to be there and he was even willing to like relinquish his captaincy to Tino because I'm pretty sure that was the year Tino went there. Although a year after where Tino got promoted to captain, more than happy to share that role.
01:22:39
Tackles and Tinnies
ah ah I don't get it. I don't get it. Gary, you I know you're listening, bruv. So let's ah let's move on. Yeah. I think we just go straight into captains, boys. And I'm going to spill mine first.
01:22:52
Tackles and Tinnies
But currently, I've got the VC on Herb, and I don't see myself changing that anytime soon if they've got the early game. And I've actually got the VC. I've got the captaincy on Nico Hines.
01:23:06
Tackles and Tinnies
So, well...
01:23:07
Chris
I don't know.
01:23:08
Tackles and Tinnies
no
01:23:13
Tackles and Tinnies
I've just jinxed everyone. You're welcome, boys. What are our thoughts, Jake? Who are you thinking this week?
01:23:19
Jake
ah I've been chopping, changing mine a lot. um
01:23:22
Chris
Thank you.
01:23:23
Jake
I actually had mine on Nathan Cleary, my captain until he wasn't named. um So that's kind of put me in a bit of a, in a bit disarray there, but I have got my vice captain on Hardy young and he's hurt me last week, but I'm chucking the captain on Terrell may again at this stage.
01:23:45
Jake
So there's definitely a lot of good options though this week. Like um Jerome Hughes is one that is tempting. um
01:23:51
Chris
Thank you.
01:23:51
Jake
Yeah, Jacob Karaz, that VC on Asako that you actually mentioned, Chris. I've looked at that as well. So yeah, and if I wanted to be really cheeky with it, a vice captain on Blake Braley.
01:24:03
Jake
So lot of options there, but yeah, Huddy Young and Terrell May for me at this stage.
01:24:10
Tackles and Tinnies
Is there any boys... I'm also looking at a potential ah captaincy option on Jerome Hughes against the Manly Seagulls. The only thing determined me is that Pappenhausen not playing, but also gives Jerome Hughes more ball.
01:24:25
Tackles and Tinnies
More like ball that he's probably going run its compared to Meany. um Any love for Karaz, Chris?
01:24:32
Chris
Nah, I don't think can do it again.
01:24:35
Tackles and Tinnies
No.
01:24:36
Chris
yeah it really does It's probably not a bad idea, honestly. You know, Kao Weeks can put 154 on the dragons, you know, it it's entirely possible that he could.
01:24:48
Chris
ah that he could do it. And, you know, now that now that Galvin's there, maybe maybe maybe the right side do get some ball. You know, the wingers, they pass out the back. You know, maybe he listens to his captain.
01:24:58
Chris
Maybe he goes, here, Stephen Crichton, have some ball early, you know.
01:25:01
Tackles and Tinnies
That would be nice.
01:25:03
Chris
And then we collect a couple of scores. How crazy would that be if he ends up, like, getting a hatchet because I'm really like, you know, we've captained him on the wrong week. Oh, insane.
01:25:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Probably would, Rob.
01:25:12
Chris
Yeah. Actually, when you say that, it's maybe not a bad idea. But I just, i think it's just too risky now yeah yeah ah got there before that's if i do it again that's just stupid it yeah
01:25:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Is there any love for ah Jaden Campbell captaincy or is that too much too much risk against the West Tigers?
01:25:31
Chris
Yeah, I was thinking about a captaincy on Adam Dewey, you know, as well.
01:25:31
Jake
ah
01:25:33
Tackles and Tinnies
out, bro.
01:25:34
Chris
Honestly, I don't think it's a bad idea.
01:25:35
Tackles and Tinnies
LAUGHTER
01:25:39
Jake
That's a better option.
01:25:40
Chris
I don't think it's a bad idea of Jaden Campbell, honestly. It's just hard to know which Tigers team shows up, which Titans team shows up. It could be a 40-40 score, but it also could be 0-0, and just an awfully tough watch as well.
01:25:54
Chris
It's hard to know. At this point, I don't think that. it's worth doing that when, you know, especially, you know, just VC hervy is what I think, you know, and then then you don't have and then you don't even have to think about can just loop them, yeah.
01:26:08
Tackles and Tinnies
So I've got one more tip that I want from you boys, and it's going to be more relevant to my team. Who would you pick as your final reserve? Tino, Munster, Asako, Brimson.
01:26:23
Tackles and Tinnies
Say one more time. Final reserve, Tino, Munster, Asako, Brimson. Currently, Brimson is not there.
01:26:37
Tackles and Tinnies
So I've got...
01:26:37
Chris
um I can straight off say straight off the bat, da don um don't reserve Tino at all.
01:26:38
Jake
and
01:26:43
Chris
I think at this point in time, I don't think you want to be ah i don't think you want to be reserving. um He's a great player. There's no upside to him. He's going to score you 70, 75 every week.
01:26:57
Chris
I mean, sure, he can score a try. He can score try this week. you know He was so close last week as well, a before that intercept. i don't know they intercept that hand just ah stop from scoring But I think you either have to go for Munster, Osaka or Brinson and it's just because of favourable match of sorts.
01:27:12
Chris
You know, I think Munster, hard to say, I talked about, you know, early in the chat with you guys, I said, you know, will he play inspired or, will Natty Oryden's over, you know, the,
01:27:23
Chris
the emotions just overwhelm him and he's just a bit drained and he just comes out a little bit flat. Hard to say, but you never want to bet against him. If you come up with 120, then you're just annoyed as well, really.
01:27:31
Tackles and Tinnies
Mm.
01:27:33
Chris
Like with the other two, Brimson and Asako, yeah, I think if you're going to, in my opinion, if you're going to keep Asako just for this week,
01:27:46
Chris
think you to play him because you're probably going to sell him next week. yeah you if you're not If you're going, hey, look, I'm selling him. If I'm not playing him this week, then why are you keeping him this week?
01:27:57
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, fair, fair enough.
01:27:57
Chris
yeah Yeah, you've just got a back your gut and go, I'm keeping this week because I think he's going to go massive. But you're right. If you think he's not going massive, no matter what the stats say, even what I said earlier, then yeah, you just sell him. You don't play him. And now it becomes a case of Brimson or Munster.
01:28:12
Chris
And then it's a case of how big do you think that, how big do you think Brimson will be against ah the Tigers? But then you also have to go, oh well, Gold Coast, they're probably going to give up now.
01:28:24
Chris
You know, they they shut they shut shop on Keanu Kinney. You know, he's like, oh, um I don't need to play well now. I can just sit there and just veg. And then he just calls nothing as well. And if that's the case, then you're better going off on Osaka or Munster.
01:28:38
Tackles and Tinnies
Brimo's a gamer, mate.
01:28:38
Chris
Yeah, and then it's Munster.
01:28:39
Tackles and Tinnies
He's always going to try. Watching him live last week, he looked very good. I don't know if you guys watched the Titans game, but I thought um watching him live, he looked very, very athletic. Jakey, what thoughts?
01:28:51
Jake
Uh, sorry, i think I misheard. So are you looking to omit one of those four? Is that right?
01:28:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Yes. Yes.
01:28:58
Jake
Yeah. Okay. I would be omitting a Saka.
01:29:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Okay.
01:29:07
Jake
Just to throw spanner in the works.
01:29:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
01:29:09
Jake
I like Munster.
01:29:09
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
01:29:10
Jake
I like Tino. i like AJ.
01:29:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, the that reason why had Tino on there is because I think he's going to be getting those minutes back up and he said his sternum's feeling pretty good. um He'll play like 60 minutes.
01:29:25
Tackles and Tinnies
Obviously, now with Fafita getting a little bit more reps. um I didn't mind De Groot there on the wing, but not too relevant to Tino. But again, that could help with the rucks be able to play the ball. um Yeah, he's going to get like 70 points.
01:29:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Will Asako and Brimson score more than 70? I think that's what I've got to really think about. But Chris, I think you nailed on the head. If I'm not playing Asako this week, I may as well hold Karapani and sell Asako for a gun.
01:29:53
Tackles and Tinnies
so
01:29:53
Chris
Oh yeah, just cut out my whole thing. I didn't realise it was a mid one. I thought it was, you could only choose one. Sorry.
01:29:57
Tackles and Tinnies
No, sorry. I actually misworded that. You were correct, Chris.
01:29:59
Tackles and Tinnies
But i Jake was right. I was getting rid of one.
01:29:59
Chris
Yeah.
01:30:02
Chris
Yeah. yeah But I would say actually as well, Kirapani, like I think whether you, so because Jake got asked a question, um but whether you keep him or not also depends on if you're going to play him really.
01:30:14
Chris
Like if you, if you're never going find space or time to play him, then probably just sell him because he's the thing. He plays para and south in the next two weeks. Like, if you want to if you've got your you've got you if you've got you've got your four gun-centred wings, dubs, and you've got other more urgent plays, just leave him as well.
01:30:32
Chris
Just for two more weeks. Oh, sorry, three weeks because they've got the Vahe this week. But I reckon he'll make cash if he scores a couple of tries. And now you really have the money to go to that fifth.
01:30:44
Chris
Gunn's center wing as well, especially if you're not going to play him anyways, you know. And now youre if you're worried about Isaka dropping cash, then just trade Isaka out this week, and then you'll definitely have cash, and then you'll have even more cash when you sell at Carapont three weeks.
Community Engagement and Final Thoughts
01:30:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Decisions, decisions, decisions. Well, listeners, I want to hear from you. i think that's probably a good place to leave it. Um, My team's in shambles. I've gone down the drain since going down a hole in New Zealand. So I need you guys to revive me and give me some tips. And again, ah thought I did a pretty good job overseas responding to all of you on our social media, but I love hearing from you guys. If you've got any personal questions for Jakey, Chris, Adam, Andy, whoever, more than happy to um pass it on to them or respond for them.
01:31:26

saying that Nico Hines is the GOAT now because I'm back on the bandwagon. But again, guys, we're on social media. um We're on all your platforms. We're on YouTube. We're on Spotify. Again, we'd love to get those five-star ratings, those likes, those comments. Helps us with the algorithm. You know the drill, but I got to say it because it's true.

Tackles and Tinnies
