[00:01:09] Welcome to the first Team List Tuesday for the year. This is SharkCastPod. We are a podcast dedicated to the greatest sporting club in the history of the world. I'm a gentleman thrown, but I'm getting my composure. And I'm with the great Dan Nichols from Fins Up and 4,000 other podcasts that he appears on. But Dan is a respected, integral member of the Sharks community.
[00:01:37] My name is Sam Shinazzi, OG SharkCastPod. We're here to dissect and talk about the team to play the Warriors this week. And what's going to make it even more exciting is that Dan doesn't know the team. I've had a quick look. Dan doesn't know it. Just quietly, he's going to be pretty happy. But this show is brought to you by Dyson Logistics, the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Port Hacking, and Jason Hawes from Crips & Crips Real Estate. Shout out to my son, Chester, for giving up the fortnight for a few minutes to let us get on line and talk.
[00:02:07] But Dan, we're here to talk about the team to play the Warriors this week. Sharks Stadium, we're calling it. The kickoff will be 7.30pm. I believe there's only one game at the ground for those people heading down. And if you're a member, just show your pass, show your digital pass. You get in, no worries. If you're not, get a membership. But otherwise, you can purchase a ticket to get in.
[00:02:34] But without further ado, Dan Nichols, just looking at it, storyline, storyline, storyline. Your fullback this weekend, and this won't make you happy, is Will Kennedy. Will Kennedy will be starting fullback this week, and we'll get into it. One of your wingers, and I find this interesting as well, is Sione Katoa, the Tongan fisherman, on one wing. In the, yeah, we'll get to it.
[00:03:03] In the centres, the young but veteran-like and well-respected Marwini Heroti gets a shot in the centres. The other side of the centres, current boyfriend of yours, Mr. Kale Iroh is going to play. And speaking of boyfriends for Dan, it's all about Dan the Sabo. Number five, same initials as my good self.
[00:03:31] Sammy Stone Street will be on a starting wing for trial number one. Our halves are Dan Atkinson and Nephi Peru. So Atkinson and N.Peru will be playing in the halves. Your front row as it stands, pretty good. Pretty good.
[00:03:57] The returning, dare I say, BHU, Brayton Hamlin-Welley, out to prove a point, most notably to Dan Nichols. The other prop, rumours circulating all around him, tall Tom Hazelson, or as you call him, big, bald Tom. Your hooker is Jaden Beryl.
[00:04:25] Your back row is very interesting and a little bit unpredictable here. Your starting back row for the first trial is Sifitalakai. The legendary Billy Burns. And locking the scrum in the middle is Oregon Gafusi.
[00:04:49] Now we go to the immediate bench and it's pretty good. New boy. Not quite sure how we're pronouncing it yet. Jojepa Peru, the Peru brother. From Canberra to Cronulla. Some raps on him. He's number 14. 15 is big Tuku, which would be great to see him out there. 16.
[00:05:20] And I'm just hearing some whispers around town. There's a lot of good raps about this kid. Lachlan Crouch on the immediate bench, Dan Nichols. And number 17 is Blake Hosking. Now rounding out the... This is pretty good. Rounding out the extended bench, because you can have, I think, 27 to 28 players this year, as opposed to 26 last year. Some good young players.
[00:05:49] And I think he'll like this. 18 is Chris Veyella, who was very nearly a first grader last season. 19 is Kyle Pickering. 20 is the young and fabulous Michael Gabriel. 21 is Brad Thurling. 22 is Taj Ford. Oh, yes. 23, the youngster on the rise.
[00:06:18] Climbing up the pecking order. 23, Riley Pollard. 24 is Eli Clark. 25 is Christian Dixon. And the last two guys, after this weekend, Dan, and for the hardcore who are watching and on the show right now, already cult personality favorites, cult of personalities. Felix Fartilli in 26.
[00:06:49] And how many Sams can you have in one team? Never enough. Samuel McCulloch will be in 27. So, Dan, I know I dragged that out quite a bit, but there's a mixture of young and experience in this team. What's your initial thoughts there? First of all, I don't think I've been this quiet for so long. So congratulations on that. I mean, since I've learned to speak,
[00:07:16] maybe this is probably a little bit stronger than I expected the first trial team to be. There's two very obvious storylines there that I'll leave for you to bring up in a few minutes. But there's a lot of players that you just named that people are going to get to know real quick by either myself, yourself, or just watching because Bar TV picked up everything. You can watch everything the Sharks play now. So quick plug for our mates over there. That extended bench excites me very, very much.
[00:07:44] I'm a bit, the only real shot there is Kofusi at 13, which I kind of like because I would think the next lock up might be and obviously they're like, hey, Kofusi, if you can play this role, perhaps that benefits the team. I love Hamlin Ureli being named, mate. I think he's got to prove himself. I think he will. Big bold time, obviously. Love that. I love the fact there's no Fanua Blade. It's a complete waste of time getting him out early.
[00:08:13] I know people will be disappointed not to see him live. You never play your best players in the first trial. Niko's obviously injured. Trindle will play, and Niko will play the All-Stars next week. So that's the best trial prep you can get. Mate, I love the side. There's no one missing there that you mentioned that I'm like, oh, they should have named him. Haradi being named over Chris Waiar probably, not a shock, but probably shows the next man up mentality, which I like. But maybe there's an edge there that excites me very, very much.
[00:08:43] And I think there's a storyline there. And if not, I'm certainly going to make one. Hmm. Let's just run through the Warriors team while we're here. Of course. And it's kind of legit. Yeah. So Charns is at fullback. DWZ is on one wing. Another fellow called RTS is on the other wing. That's pretty good, isn't it? Ali Laotiti Jr., I'm going to call him, is in centers with Adam Pompey.
[00:09:14] We have Tamari Martin and Luke Metka, former Shark in the halves. New recruit we'll be seeing, James Fisher-Harris, Wade Egan, Mitch Barnett. The back row is Jacob Laybound, former Shark, Kurt Capewell and Aaron Clark. And the bench and so forth. Some guys you know, some guys you won't know. But it's essentially, oh, you know what? This might hurt you a little bit. Number 26, Sam Healy's playing.
[00:09:44] That's what he does. That's what he does. But I would say that is, you know, nine-tenths of the Warriors, for want of a better equation, team. Like it's pretty legit there. So first of all, don't get too alarmed if we don't come away with the bickies. But they obviously just have their intention of starting well early, the Warriors. I wouldn't go that way, but that's what they're doing.
[00:10:10] I want to start with the fullback, Will Kennedy. Now, I have no doubt that he'll be the starting fullback this year for the start of the season, I should say. He is off contract. I think if he doesn't resign, I don't think that will affect his status as starting fullback this year, unless he's out of form. If he does resign, then happy day is beautiful.
[00:10:42] But I'm a little surprised that he's starting. Is your boy injured? He's not listed in the 27. I, when you said Kennedy, I was fully expecting Isen to be on this end of the bench. Straight swap in half time. Um, the other one there, obviously, is Cade Dykes, who is the other option at fullback, not named either. Yeah. He, look, he's coming back from 30 different injuries. So there's always a chance that he's hurt, unfortunately.
[00:11:12] I'm, I'm shocked to see Kennedy because they could have just put Vaila at fullback, or they could have put Herodian fullback. Katoa has played there in the past for Newtown. It says to me, Oye, go out and play fullback, Will. We'll see how you go. I don't think you'll play more than 40 minutes. I think they'll put someone else at the back. It doesn't particularly matter who, but it does, that Warriors team is legit. And he's going to get, if he's thinking this is a trial, this is no trial.
[00:11:40] This is a legit hit out, especially with those wingers running at him. I think it's good for Will because I think if he has a good game, it's going to shut a lot of people, myself included, right up. I don't know how to read it because I do know that the club knew that the Warriors were picking a full strength team. So it might've been, well, let's throw in some experienced guys in at least a couple of the key positions. And that, I mean, he's the most experienced spine guy right there.
[00:12:09] But it all might also be, Hey, there are other guys coming up here. Let's, let's see what you got. But maybe there's the notion that give him two games before Vegas to get into that will can any kind of starting mode. You know, sometimes he starts a bit slow. So it could be a number or it could just be, Hey, you're playing. They might, they might not be a storyline to be fair. But that's what struck out to me.
[00:12:39] First of all, now, can we read into anything here with Sione Katoa playing? I would have thought our wingers were pretty established for round one. Doesn't mean they're not up for debate, but for round one, do you think like take your one Sam and other Stone Street eyes out? Do you think there is anything in this or it's just he's playing? I think it's a, Hey Sione, there's a pretty good kid on the other wing who's pushing you. So your best be at your best.
[00:13:08] I don't think Katoa ended this season particularly well. Maybe it's a bit of a, Hey, come on, you know, look what's on the other side, mate. We need your best football. I also think that the Stone Street-Ero connection is going to score a million tries for Canelo over the next 10 years. So I think this is a prelude. Yes and no is the answer to this. Stone Street's playing, not playing round one. Well, he'll play round one for the Jets. He's not going, he's not playing. Yeah. Unless there's an injury. That's simple. Renato's your rostered on number one winger by a mile. And then there's the other one.
[00:13:38] There's definitely a, look, there's a reason he's playing because if he wasn't, you can just throw Bayo or Herodio on the wing and say, Hey, go for it. Or Dixon. Dixon played heaps in the last cup match. He can handle the jump up. Yeah. Especially, I think the Warriors will play full strength at half time and then you'll see players you've never even heard of in the second half. But I think it's, don't get too comfortable, Sione. Although, someone actually asked me earlier when you expect Stone Street and I said,
[00:14:05] look, magic round at the earliest is when you start making changes and I think it's the same for Kennedy. But I think Stone Street, if he has a big game against one of those absolute legend wingers, not forgetting that what Tenney's the Lesniak took Stone Street apart at Cronulla in that last place, scored in the corner. Maybe it's a, hey, it's a chance. It's a trial. We know. Go out and get him. Sione on the other wing. What do you got, mate? Because, you know, there's some options. Interesting.
[00:14:33] And I mean, Kale playing, he's definitely starting center for us. Is that fitness? Is that just, I don't know, can we look into this too much? I don't know. He's starting for us. Yeah, I think it's purely fitness because he didn't play for New Zealand and he would have been picked if he was fit over Tim McCovey pocketed twice. Yeah, I think he'll play 40 because Bayer Lutton and Gabriel are going to get some minutes. Those two are probably the next man up with Arati on the other side.
[00:15:01] I think it would be good and I think this was a way for Cronulla to say, hey Dan, you're coming to this game. Because I certainly am. So there's probably that. So you're going to be 25 bucks on people. But no, I think this is purely a get some minutes under your belt because we're going to need your burgers. All right. So you think we'll have Katoa and Harati next to each other?
[00:15:28] Well, look, yes, because of the, you put Iro on his preferred left and you just swap Renato with Snaith Street. It's Iro and Snaith Street is your combo. And on the right, I think Harati's got to get used to playing both sides. I can't remember who plays for Newtown. It's always different to what the team sheet says. And you leave Katoa on his, he's earned the right to play right wing. So I think he's got to start there. Okay. So Harves, Atkinson and Nephi Peru.
[00:15:56] I mean, for Peru, it's a big reward for having a great cup season last year. Was he cup player of the year or was he just the grand final man of the match? He had some accolade, I'm sure. Yeah, he was very good. He certainly strikes this out there at the Union, which is really good. But yeah, it was an improved season from him. Definitely. Oh, big time. And he learned to tackle a little bit too, which is good. I like this Harves combo because obviously Atkinson's next man up.
[00:16:25] That's a huge thing. I think Peru is probably the next one because Pollard's too early, too young. And I don't know where Dyches is fitness wise. Just to Jason's point on screen, Max Bradbury not named, but he's definitely very much on the comeback trail. And I believe I got my math wrong. I think he's expected earlier rather than later. And same with your boy, Colquhoun as well.
[00:16:53] For some reason, I had him like later in the year, but he's expected a bit earlier, which is fantastic. So, but just on Max. Yeah. Just on Max, Jason. Thanks for watching by the way, Jason. Max is definitely on the comeback trail. So hopefully for him, much like Colquhoun, he can just stay fit and show everyone that, you know, he can compete at the top level. He's still young, which is awesome. He got re-signed for another year. So they obviously believe in him.
[00:17:21] But yeah, Nifo Peru on the big stage, at least for the trials round one against Martin and Metcalf, that's, you know, two handy players. I'm assuming that's the Warriors starting halves this year, right? Metcalf will get the job. Just said, surprisingly, 71st team players. And he needs me to see Dykes back towards our best against Panthers. Yeah, I agree with that. On Dykes, I don't know. Have you heard anything, Dan?
[00:17:50] I haven't got anything officially. I know he was running on Instagram, but I'm not sure of the comeback trial. Obviously, that will give you two seconds. Sorry, Shazzy. No worries. No problem at all. Same scene for coming to me. So yeah, Giles, not sure when Dykes is back, but he's definitely training as is Max Bradbury and a few of those other guys. Colquhoun's getting a lot closer, which is awesome.
[00:18:16] So we should be getting those young guys back and hopefully, yeah, hopefully they can just stay injury free because they've had such a wretched run. So yeah, we're excited to get down to Shark Stadium. They're calling it this year. You can call it Shark Park, of course. It's a 7.30 kickoff. It's going to be on KO and I'm assuming on Fox Sports. Of course, I should know that. And yeah, get down to the ground if you can. And trials are always a lot of fun.
[00:18:45] And I believe it's the only game being played. I saw a couple of Sharks employees this morning down at the cafe and they told me as such. So we'll take that as gospel. It's the only game being played. Brayden Hamlin-Welley. Man, he's due for a big year. He's had a lot of injuries. And I know that he will be out to, I guess, prove some of the doubters wrong.
[00:19:14] And Tom Hazelton starting as well is very interesting. Get some minutes into those big units. What do you guys reckon about Talakai? Talakai playing a trial match? I don't know how I feel about that. I think he's a guy that I wrap in cotton wool and just unleash him in round one. Do you guys have any opinions on that? I'd love to hear your thoughts. We'll be down at the ground this Friday and we'll do a podcast afterwards, hopefully a live stream as well.
[00:19:43] So if you want to jump on board there, feel free to jump into the comments. We'll give you a link to jump on the show and have you say about the trial match and how all that goes. And what else we got here? Billy Burns. Super happy for Billy Burns. He's had a great year for the Jets last year. Obviously some big grand final moments and he will have a chance to sort of try and get a bench spot or be 18th man.
[00:20:12] He's always around there and he had a really good year last year. A couple of those guys, him and Peru, definitely earned their spots. And Orican Gafusi in the middle lock is just fascinating. Fascinating. Dan, Orican Gafusi playing in the middle. I like it. He did a bit of that for Parra, so I can't see why. Well, he's got a big motor, doesn't he? He played, what, a couple of games last year he played whole halves
[00:20:42] and then 10, 15 minutes second half. He's, I think you're going to see the four years differently this year because Finoa Blake's going to be a battering round. You first hit up every set, probably your fourth hit up hopefully. So I think diversity will help. Plus, obviously with Jack Williams out, who's your next up lock? Mate, it's Gafusi. Look, Colquhoun's obviously the one I want to, and I'm saying obviously lock, but obviously Colquhoun's the next man up for me. But he's not going to play until probably round eight or nine.
[00:21:11] Once he gets a minute, somebody's felt for the Jacks. So maybe Gafusi's put his head up. He said, hey, I can play lock too. It's pretty, it's pretty badass. I mean, Cam McInnes is a minor injury. I'm hoping he'll be ready for the second trial match. And he's your, obviously, starting captain and he's an amazing player. But I don't mind the idea of a big bopper there as well out the back. He's very mobile.
[00:21:42] I mean, he's not, I mean, he's a very big human. So he's not overly mobile, but for a prop, so to speak, he's a mobile middle Oregon Gafusi. And yeah, that's, that's really thrown me. I love it. I really like it. It's thinking outside the box a little bit. What do you reckon about your boy 2Q? What sort of a year is he going to have? Is he going to get much of a shot? Do you think? I think he's, so I think, I think Atkinson's going to play.
[00:22:09] So you've got three bench spots, which will be Talakai, probably Hazelton and Ueli to start with. Obviously Toby's got to come back into that. So he and Cole, Toby and Calhoun too. So he's probably third man up. And I think if he has a few big bench stints, because he's going to play up the bench, he's not going to start. I like this. I wouldn't have named him to start because he's not going to play that role for the Sharks.
[00:22:35] I just have this feeling that Faneur Blake can play 30, 10 minutes off, 10 minutes off. He plays the last 30. Who can play 20 minutes and give big impact? The biggest bloke in the world. He knew it too. So I think ultimately that's his role for me. He was way too good for New South Wales Cup last year. He was ginormous in every game he played for Newtown. So he's ready. His motor wasn't good. I don't think that's unfair to say. It definitely improved by the end of the year.
[00:23:04] He played some big minutes for Newtown. I don't know if he had the trust of Fitzgibbon to get the big minutes in first grade, but they've obviously re-signed him. So they're high on this kid and I am too. Like, when I say huge, he's huge. So I hope to see lots of him this year, mate. He's a huge prospect. Yeah, if they can get that right, they have a very unique player in their team. Like, there's not many of these guys around.
[00:23:34] Like, he is legitimately the biggest person I've ever seen. And, you know, he's got all the skills. Like, he's never really let us down at the top level. I'm like, you might have missed a tackle or two or whatever, but there's never been a disastrous moment. He's had some good moments scored in Melbourne. I hope they really persist with him and at the right time, give him a shot or whether it's a gradual thing. I mean, the only thing I really, the only person I really compare him to, whether it's right or wrong,
[00:24:01] is Franklin Pelé, just because they were both, you know, ginormous humans. But they're different players, for starters, obviously. And obviously, not obviously, I think Tuku has better discipline on the field and just a bit more, you know, football brains, dare I say, than what we saw at Franklin. And I love Franklin, but I think this is,
[00:24:27] I think Tuku can have a really long career if he can find the right way to be used. You know, I think he's got everything there. He's a fit dude. He's got the aggression. But he seems to sort of play by the rules as well, which is what you want. And yeah, I hope that, I hope we see a bit of Tuku this year. Yeah, me too. I mean, you've got to remember that we've got a lot of players off contract and you can't keep them all. You know, if Newcastle come with Arthur Mill and their starting spot,
[00:24:56] I think, I think Boyle's headed up the end one. Like I just don't think you can keep them all. Because we've got two starting spots and we've got like five blokes playing for it. So it's coming up. He and Colquhoun are the next two for me. I think Colquhoun's undoubtedly the better player, but he's about 15 kilos less. Yeah. And I mean, it depends how, if you want the bloke playing in the middle, who can pass the ball, you know, play a little bit of a weight grain while ball playing wise, can give you 20 hit ups, can give you 50, 60 minutes.
[00:25:26] You get go, you go Colquhoun. Or if you want a bloke that's going to go out there for eight minutes and smash blokes, you go with the seven foot tall, 120 kilo brick of muscle, you know? So there's definitely a role there for him. Yeah. I just, I guess I just want him to be the 20 minute player, not the seven minute player, you know, because one of the big reasons that we didn't hang on to Royce Hunt, who was in career best form, was that he didn't have the motor that we needed.
[00:25:59] And he's eight years older than Tuku. So Tuku's got time on his side. But I think most times you're going to pick the, the Calhoun attributes over Andre the giant for seven minutes. You know what I mean? Unless, unless in those seven minutes, he's like Braun Breaker going nuts. You know what I mean? So getting a bit rumbly there for everyone, but yeah, very fascinating to see how that's going to play out.
[00:26:29] Have you watched a lot of Lachlan Crouch? Yeah, not as much as I'd like. Terry's huge on this kid. He and some of the names you'll mention in a minute. He's monstrous on. I was really impressed with the Flake boys late last year. I think Crouch might have played one or two games for Newtown. I can't remember. They were switching in between. There was a whole heap of injuries in the Jets. But you're going to see, you're going to see some pickering and some mosking. They're Jets legends.
[00:26:59] I think that's fair to say. Crouch will probably be behind them in the pecking order for the Jets. So I'm excited to see what he does. And it will be a big opportunity in front of what will be a lot of eyes because people are ugly league stars. Yeah. Now, I had the fortune of talking to the coach last week. You can go listen to that on our podcast feed. How do I say this?
[00:27:28] The coaching staff see a lot of potential in Lachlan Crouch. So I'm not surprised to see him in this list. And, yeah, there's, he needs time. But I'll be interested to see how he goes this week. And then if they back it up the week after, because the week after you'll see the main team play for 40 minutes. They might come out for the second half or the third quarter,
[00:27:58] however they do it. But won't be much more than that. And there's going to have to be a bunch of guys, the B team, the second team to come out. So I wonder if Lachlan will be part of that, given that he's 16 this week. It's a good sign. I would have thought he was maybe down the list a little bit in this order. And the order can always change, but it's a good indication of what we're going to see first up. So, yeah, great stuff. And, yeah, the rest of the team, as you have said, you know,
[00:28:27] people who do watch lower grades, there's a lot of tasty, plenty players there. And starting with Chris Vaila, who legitimately almost played starting NRL last year during the latter half of the year, towards the end of the year, he was legitimately penciled into play if one guy went down. So they obviously have a lot of faith in Chris. So hopefully he gets out there.
[00:28:55] You heading out, Dan, to the game? Yeah, mate. I'll be there. I mean, your name is Stone Street Hero. I'm getting you got me. We went quickly with CV. He scored a try last year against the Bulldogs, I believe, in the trial. Picked it all up. Brilliant, he reacted and ran in 30, 40 metres. Great celebration. Really fun. He's another that's too good for the New South Wales Cup. We've got about six of them, which is why I'm so confident in the Jets going back to back this year.
[00:29:24] Yeah, I kind of wish he got a game because there was a game where we had the name Talakai in the centre and you couldn't throw Vaila in as a rookie. I wish he had those two or three games on his belt. Yeah. But I dare say the Talakai centre days are done because there's about four or five players you've named in the brilliant centre. Yeah. Which is good for everyone involved. I hope so. We're both on the same picture there with the Talakai thing.
[00:29:51] We completely understand why he does get picked, but also, you know, there comes a time and I think we're at that time now. You never say never. But we also have Sam McCulloch and people will know him from watching the flag games last year. Very noticeable, long blonde hair, very Cronulla looking guy, if I can say that, harking back to the old days.
[00:30:19] And a handy player, handy middle lock, young still and with a bit to prove. The fact he's named at 27, along with Felix Fartilli at 26, that says to me they're down the bottom of the pecking order, but they're still in the group and they've been training with the main squad for a couple of years now and they're very much in the picture for the future. They probably just need to take another step up.
[00:30:47] But for those who haven't seen Felix, if you listen to Dan's podcast with Terry, they talk about him quite a lot. In fact, Terry talks about him. I think he just likes saying his name. Felix Fartilli. But Felix is actually taller than Terry. Felix is, I don't know, is he 6'5"? I don't know what he is. He's very tall. Yeah, very 6'6". He's the bloke that during flag everyone would be watching and go, look at the size of that guy.
[00:31:16] That's Felix Fartilli. And if they also say, go that, that guy with the beautiful hair. Yeah, that's McCulloch. And if you've seen this guy's pre and post-match interview in the flag, just for those who don't know, we lost flagging in heartbreaking circumstance, probably should have won up in the bell. 11 wins in a row, whatever it was, got beaten by a very, very good Bulldogs team. They put a microphone in McCulloch's face and I'm expecting the F-bombs and the S-bombs and this and that. He handled it with perfection.
[00:31:44] It was such a mature interview. I was, I was nine and a half out of 10 solid on this kid and I'm 11 out of 10 solid on that. Yeah. For a long, long time, but he just, he's got football brain units. How about it in the kids? Yeah, he's got all the attributes. So whether he's a shark or if he goes somewhere else at some point, like I think you will be seeing him in the, in the NRL.
[00:32:09] So keeping an eye on those guys, I did just lose my train of thought. Felix Fatili. He's also, Felix has also got a bit of bulk on him, right? That's right. Yeah, we're not, we're not best for size mate. I was watching the SG ball and the Harold Matts the other day. Yes. And our forwards were six foot four and running over the top of their blokes. I can't remember this at Cronulla. We always have the small forwards that work hard and you know, we've got the big fours that work hard.
[00:32:39] There's no shortage of size mate. We beat the Penrith Juniors too. That's pretty good. Yeah, on both. We're losing 12 mil in one and 14 mil in the other and we won both. So it's now where it starts boys. Yeah. Yeah. And as Dan said, what's the, what's the website, the app you can watch it on? Bar TV, it's called, it's 20 bucks a month. So it is an investment for people like me that have no life outside this football club. Very much worth it. Um, otherwise just follow me on Twitter.
[00:33:07] I post too much, but I'll put all the funny highlights and stuff up and give you the full rundown. We've got a new list of agendas. We're recording first one tonight on things up. So, uh, check out the new agendas, but, um, you may, you may have mentioned one or two. Just call Alex Ham. The thing that horrifies me by what you just said is follow me on Twitter. Oh, look, it's, it's, it's a win. I follow, I follow you on Twitter and, uh, there are good days and there are bad days. Yes, certainly are mate. And I own the bad days.
[00:33:36] They're the real good days. It's all real. I'll give you that. Well, actually I shouldn't say that. It's not all real, but when it's real, it's real. It's definitely not all real. Yeah. But yes, it is fun. Um, but anyone, anyone who wants to say hello on Friday, we'll have the kids with you, but please come say hello. Yeah. A little bit different to half is out on Twitter. I'll, I'll, I'll comment. Yeah. You're a nice chap. Uh, that's for sure. I hate to break the bubble, but you're a nice dude. Um, yeah, it's going to be cool to be out there. Uh, haven't been out there for a long time. What?
[00:34:05] I don't even remember what the last game was at, at, at Chai Park, but, uh, it's going to be fun to be out there. And then we go down to Canberra the Thursday after. So, uh, the Friday into the Thursday, and that works out well because after that, they're going to be traveling to America, obviously. So, um, that's why this, there's three weeks of preseason football and the four teams. Is that right, Dan?
[00:34:33] The four teams playing are playing the first week of preseason. Is that right? Yeah. One and two. Uh, so we'll play Friday and then Penrith play Campbell on Saturday, also at Chai Park. That's right. And then next week we play Friday. Uh, Thursday, I think they play Friday or Saturday and then off and then the rest of them are three. Gotcha. Which is true, there's no one between. Oh, ever. Yeah, right. Right, right. Cause then it's us in Vegas. That's, yeah, that's pretty good.
[00:35:01] Um, yeah, I mean, I don't know if I, whether I want to encourage people to get hit or not. I guess I do want to, but Penrith are playing at Chai Park on Saturday. They don't have a home ground for a few years. They're using our home ground just for the preseason. Uh, and that's probably from a production point of view that all the, all the TV business will be down there on the Friday. I used to keep it down there on Saturday. That's how that kind of stuff works. Have you heard the other, the other visitors to Shark Park this year?
[00:35:31] Uh, I, yeah, yeah, I have. Don't tell me. Mm-hmm. Um, is it the Ninja Cup or is it the A-League? Or am I off the track? No, it's the, it's the New South Wales Premier League. I don't know what they call it this year. It could be the Ninja Cup. So Salo, well, former Salo Sharks have renamed to Sharks FC overnight. They'll be playing a couple of games at Shark Park, which will be fun. Uh, no, Ninja League is, I'm sure you know, is the W League. Um, okay.
[00:35:59] So, so Sharks FC are playing at Shark Park. Yes, they are. And they're playing the former Olympic Sharks who are now seeing the Olympic. Those, that's a deep cut. Maybe 10% people will know what I'm talking about. But yeah, we've got so much Sharks and obviously Miranda, Seymour Shaw for those listening, is getting relayed. So Shark Park will host the Shark FC soccer team. And when, is that in our season of League? It is. It's, I think it's in about three weeks.
[00:36:27] And then they play about four games over that time. It doesn't clash with the, the other now Sharks, obviously. Yeah. Um, it'll be interesting to see because those games are streamed on YouTube. So I think the, um, the optics will be nice. Obviously the stands will be empty, but, um, yeah, I'm excited to see that. And look, it's a few more bucks into our kitty too. So I'm sure we're not giving it a 10 for three. Yeah. No, I'd, I'd head down to that if I'm not doing anything. Uh, Jason has said, I have tooks in front of ULA all depending on ULA's form.
[00:36:57] Uh, hope he finds form from a year or two ago. Otherwise he might be the one to miss out. So thanks for that, Jason. And I want to check up this from the new guys. I think they're the new guys. I apologize if they're not. Shark cage. Shark cage. Now I don't have a lot of info about shark cage, but I know that I think it's a gentleman or a group who are trying to get everyone together at the ground and do, do support a like things, which I know our other friends do as well.
[00:37:26] So I don't know how that's all going to work out, but wanted to give shark cage a little shot shot, like the little logo there. So they're on the Insta. They might be on the Facebook. Give them a follow. Can't be following too many sharks things these days. Uh, thanks for tuning in. We appreciate that. I believe they call it the gram. Grandpa. You've lost me. I'm just, my kids call it the gram. I hate it, but that's what they do. Oh, the gram. Okay. Sorry. A lot of people listening.
[00:37:56] Are you looking forward to the Canberra trial Thursday week? Yeah, absolutely. Unfortunately we won't be there because Thursday, obviously you've got to work Friday. It's very difficult. I think we'll see more shark like team, although we won't see Trindle. I dare say we won't see Nick Oweda and Nick Oweda is obviously playing the, I keep saying Augustus, I shouldn't say that, sorry. He's playing the all-stars game. So there'll be a few players missing, but it'll be closer to full strength.
[00:38:23] We'll probably see some Fennel Blake, because I don't think he's going to play for the Maori team. So can you fill me in, and I shouldn't be saying this as I'm the shark guy with one ear to the ground. Can you fill me in on the latest with injuries and with indigenous teams, et cetera? What's happening there? So Nico withdrew from eligibility due to an injury. I didn't say what or anything. It's probably come out since, I don't know. And that game is next Saturday night, I believe.
[00:38:51] So I doubt he'll be playing Thursday for us if he's unavailable on Saturday. Right. Okay. And Britton is playing in that game? Is that what you said? Yeah, Britton and Trindle were both in the promo material that I received. Okay, gotcha. I would guess so, but I'm not 100% sure. I think Nico were a captain last year. So I would be shocked if he wasn't, unless it was injury related. Look, selfishly, I want him playing for the Sharks. But also in terms of trial games, that's the big trial game.
[00:39:21] So you want him playing as many minutes as you can against a quality of position. Yeah. Oh man, I'm so torn on these trial matches versus the real thing. And the coach kind of put me in my place in the interview last week. He was like, ah, don't worry about it. Like they got more chance of getting injured at training and that kind of thing. And I found the answer extremely annoying because I just can't relate to that. Of course, I'm going to be nervous about injuries in preseason games.
[00:39:46] But the positives are very obvious. And that is, you know, getting in sync with your fellow teammates and getting your fitness up. So I've got no problem with that at all. Jason has sent a message. He said, I thought I read an article studying they were not playing all-stars. And he mentions all. So we might get back to you and all that stuff. Or you can do your research on the side.
[00:40:15] But we're not sure about that. The Vegas teams were going to make them unavailable. I thought they got talked into it. So it's very possible that that's been over. If I'm being full 100% shark man here, I'm not letting my players play. I'm taking them to Vegas. But again, Tom Turbo got injured in the shower before running down the course. So whichever story you want to believe. You know, blokes have fallen over their kids at parties and done ACLs. So injuries are going to happen. I mean, I'm going to be telling you can't play.
[00:40:45] You can't represent. That would be my personal. But selfishly, I'd also be like, you know, we're going to Vegas, mate. Let's get there really. Daniel said, is there any updates on Cade? Is he still recovering? And we did talk about that a little bit, Daniel. He's recovering in the sense that he's working his way back into it. But he's definitely in, I would say close to full training. It might not be.
[00:41:15] He might still have the pink bib on or whatever, but he's definitely on the comeback trail. So I think you'll be seeing him sooner rather than later. He looks, this is going to be quality TV, but he looks good in the training phase. Okay. If you're listening, let me describe. He looks massive. He looks like his dad. Taller, bigger arms and better head to head. So I'm sure that's the way you're going with Adam, who is a good mate.
[00:41:45] Have you seen Adam lately? My God. Yeah. He's a personal trainer at Vision, isn't he? He looks $10 million. You know what's interesting is he didn't look like that when he played. I know there were different times and different physiques, but he was a tiny little thing. He was. He's a great dude. Full disclosure, he was my mom's trainer for a long time. Yeah, right. And my mom learned a discipline from him that she didn't have before. And he's a genius. I wish him all the best.
[00:42:14] But yeah, he's definitely, he's definitely given us a talented offspring. I just made an old dominated one knee, calf, whatever I need, because this kid is so special. Yeah. I don't know if he can get it together. I saw the Adam Dykes inspirational kind of video, and it was a business one for his gym, trying to get you to come to the gym. And if you haven't seen that, jump onto, do you know what the gym's called? I don't want to give too much. Fission Fission. Fission, yeah.
[00:42:44] Jump on there, on there, on there, on there, Graham. And there's a clip there of Adam talking quite direct to camera, and it is unbelievable. It's so intense. And I, it's just a different person to the guy I used to run around. And obviously, you know, he's 20 years old, I don't know, 25, 30 years older. But for those of you who are a bit younger than see Adam Dykes play, Cade's dad, he was the most attacking type of footballer you could ever see. Like he could defend okay, but his whole thing was ad lib football, basically, in the John Lang era.
[00:43:15] And, you know, one of those players that could probably win your grand final and potentially throw the intercept pass as well. And I say that with great respect. Like he just, he was always trying to score points. And that's a good thing. But yeah, anyway, I just, I like the fact that he's still out there and his son is a shark. It's great. We've seen him play two games already for us. Dan, realistically, what are you looking at for sharks at the end of the regular season? Where are they going to be?
[00:43:45] I hate saying this publicly, but anything less than a comfortable top four finish. Building on last year, we got more minutes under the kids that we wanted to. We got, I think the side coming into this year is better than it was last year because of the additions. Obviously you got the very big addition and those that don't follow me on Twitter. I saw Fennel Blake at a shopping center the other day, and we'll talk about big humans. This guy is humongous.
[00:44:12] And I sort of stood and stared about you to me away from him for about 15 minutes. You know, I walked past him and just sort of nodded back. And then as I was walking back, a young guy who was, looked like a football fan, made eye contact with me and we both at the same time went, which is the size of that boat. So, yeah, I'm very excited for this year. Do you think they'll have a crack at the preseason cup trophy?
[00:44:41] No. And the reason I say that is that like, I think they can, I think they can achieve whatever they want to achieve. But if you remember, was it two years ago and they had to get one offload out to win it and they didn't do it. And they had like 10 minutes to do it. They don't care. Like they legitimately don't care. I'm sure the hundred gram would help someone somewhere and we're not shirking away from that.
[00:45:06] But I legitimately, I could almost say that I know, I don't know, but I could almost say I know they don't really care about it. They want to have good performances. They want to have good indicators. And if they win, they win. If they lose, they lose. I mean, you don't really want to lose by 40 two weeks in a row. If you do, it's not the end of the world. But I think they're just looking to tick some boxes, man. I was hoping you didn't really remember, so I'm going to bring that up. Yeah.
[00:45:33] Look, if we play our New South Wales Cup team against their New South Wales Cup team, we're winning this thing because the Jets are so much better than the others. But if you look, anyone who says they're okay with losing trials is lying. You want to win them. You want to win every game. You get in the habit. But if that Warriors team beat us 40 to 20 this week, who cares? Who cares? Canberra, I want to be because I want to be as close to full strength.
[00:45:58] But again, it's like no injuries and not losing by 20 in both games. That's perfect trials for me because the one that counts is in about four weeks time in Vegas. Yeah. And I completely understand if people buy back and go, no, no, I'm here to win a trial. Like, fair enough. I don't relate. I'm with you. I want to see legitimately. I want to see no injuries and I legitimately want to see just good indicators all over the park.
[00:46:26] You know, I want to see Will Kennedy have a strong game and he doesn't have to be 10 out of 10. But if he's a seven and a half, awesome. If they're all seven and a half, I think it's really good. If there are anything above that, well, great. You know, we can have, I mean, let's talk about the Stuart Mills trial. Like, if you were old enough to be there, it was the greatest 11 minutes you ever saw a footballer ever play. And I say that with my hand on my heart. But that's all it was, unfortunately.
[00:46:54] Like, I can't believe I'm saying this, but it actually didn't matter. Do you remember a couple of years ago when Bronson Zeri had that trial game where you just lapped everyone for lols? You know, I would dare say Zeri is a little bit more successful than Stuart Mills. But it doesn't matter. I do want to see good trial performances from Iro, Kennedy, Kofusi, Talakai. They're rusted on.
[00:47:21] But again, like a lot of the grief I used to cop for Iro was that he couldn't defend in New South Wales Cup. Because inside and outside in the New South Wales Cup players, he's a much better defensive center. So if Talakai doesn't use to tackle or he's overcompensating for say a Puru or something, don't jump to too many conclusions, as long as Kennedy catches the ball well, as long as Iro runs hard, and as long as Sam Stone Street scores five tries, I'm happy.
[00:47:52] Yeah. And the other thing is you look at the game and it's like, well, okay, I'm going to safely assume that the Warriors 1-13 are not going to play more than 40 minutes. I'd be very surprised. They might only play 20 minutes. Like, we're not sure about that. But then, you know, then you do the whole, well, we were losing 12-0 when they were on. And then their guys went off, but our guys stayed on. And we got it back to 12-6 at halftime.
[00:48:22] But then both teams went off and the kids came on and we won by 20. It's like, it really, it's nonsensical in that point. Like, you sort of don't even want to know what the score is. You don't want to tally tries or kicks because it's all about just the hit outs and it's about the cohesion and the physical. They probably want to get some physical impact and that kind of stuff.
[00:48:44] And things that you and I can never relate to, but these football terms that real men who play this game and women, of course. That's what they want from these trial matches. And I think it's a universal theme. A good friend Steven, he's over in Perth, says, I just finished listening to James Graham podcast. Give Sharks no chance of a premiership. I'll think we'll be up against this train of thought for a long time this year. It's a really good point, Steven.
[00:49:13] And hello to you, my friend. On the interview I did with Fitzy, I encourage you to go listen to it. He did say that, you know, the outside noise does get in sometimes. He didn't say it affects them, but they hear things. They feel things, you know. And that was, that's for whatever reason, that's been a constant theme. And I think that the Cowboys win in the final last year will help.
[00:49:40] But I also think like many people will still be one from our last six finals or whatever. That's how they're going to tell the story. It's true, but also come on, like give me a little bit of a break here. But I think Steven is right. I think that we might hopefully have this great regular season success where we're top four. But then people will just be like, well, how's Nico going to go? How are they going to lift? Has Fitzy got something to lift the ball?
[00:50:09] Like you're going to hear that, unfortunately. And I think until you have, you know, a prelim win, dare I say grand final win, I think that that's just something you're going to have to put up with for quite some time. But... It's completely fair too. We won one premiership. We have to copy it. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, Steven's point is good. Like it's something that... And it's something you might... I know you're on...
[00:50:36] Well, I think you're on line a bit more than I am with the general punters, Dan. And it is a universal theme for people who don't follow our team that closely. It's like, oh, I don't fear them. Like what are they going to do in the finals? Sharks will choke in the finals. Nico will choke. That's the entire rhetoric. And I know I had a bit of a go when we spoke last year about people being lazy and saying, well, Nico was terrible in the last few weeks. Pre-injury, he was the best player in the competition.
[00:51:04] He was leading the Dalian medal and he missed two hours. Yeah. Like the year before that, he was again, pre-Origin, he was leading the Dalian count by like six points. And the year before that, he won the Dalian. You know, if I'm Nico, I'm saying I'm not available for Origin this year. I think that'll shut a lot of people up. It won't distract him. I know Loddy Dale will pick him anyways, but that's another rant. Cronulla will cop this and I think it's good because as a shark fan, I hate hearing people say, do you think your team's going to be good? No, no, no, don't say that.
[00:51:34] We're going to be crap. Because we need to fight against that. That's when Cronulla are at their best. But if I'm being here on heart serious, I haven't been this excited about a team since 2018 because I was convinced we would make a grand final in 2018. We've found the game short, but this side is better than what we had in 2018. That worries me as a Sharks fan, but if the Sharks don't believe they can win a premiership, that's a problem. What anyone else in the world says doesn't matter. Yeah.
[00:52:02] And I mean, there is kind of no excuse this year because of who you've recruited and because of the way you played, dare I say in the finals. Okay. Melbourne game. We probably weren't going to win that one, but they showed enough backbone for half a game to be in it. And they completely mucked up the second half. Cowboys, they dominated and Penrith is a whole other saga, but I'll verbally discuss
[00:52:32] with anyone the fact that they match them for 65 minutes. Now, okay, you got to do it for 80. I get that. But for our little team that couldn't do anything to go out there and do what they did was super impressive. And I think if they could have their time again, I think they walk away with the win. And for them to then take a step back this year would be a failure. So it's a lot of pressure on them, you know, inside, outside. But I'm sure there's a lot of pressure.
[00:53:00] There's obviously a lot of expectation, but that's what you want. Like, I don't want to be, you know, the 2005 Sharks where we snuck into the finals and kind of wimped it out knowing we didn't really have the team. We have the team. What you need is a lot of luck and you need some luck on the field, bounce of the ball, lack of injuries.
[00:53:30] The rest is kind of there. Like if they don't get it right, that'll be on them. And then we can look into what went wrong. But really, for me, it's as simple as you had a really good team. You went really close and now you brought in for Noah Blake. And that's a lot of pressure on him, but that's, that's who he is. He's one of the best props in the game. Same with Nico Hines. Like Nico gets paid a lot of money.
[00:53:59] And as you said, he had really, really remarkable games throughout his career. They're a little bit circumstantial for most of them when he hasn't reached his potential. There's some like the Canterbury game, which just, there's no reason. He just missed a field goal, you know, but he's a really good player. We've got really good players. I'm convinced we've got a really good coach and there is a lot of expectation of on them from our fan base. And I think within just the organization.
[00:54:28] Now, as Steven says, no one else kind of probably wraps them. And as you say, I think that'll work to our advantage. Yeah. I mean, if you were to ask me where would you rank outside? There's an obvious top two. Everyone in the world knows that. And I think us in Brisbane have the best rosters after. To win a premiership, you need incredible depth. Crinola got the best depth in the competition. Newtown just won the comp.
[00:54:55] The flag almost won the comp, despite facing impossible odds. The Panthers have lost a whole heap of players. You know, Melbourne haven't, but Melbourne don't have that drop back. The New South Wales Cup team is, you know, in the Queensland Cup. Yeah. And, you know, it's split. So they don't have that cohesion. So everything, everything should be in Crinola's favor. You're right. We need to fly to the radar, Steven. 100%. I think us being Crinola, not Brisbane.
[00:55:25] Brisbane or South lose a game, it's the end of the world. Crinola lose a game or the Tigers lose a game, who cares? Small market. Last year we were what? 9-1 or 8-1 or something. And no one gave us a shot. You know, we went in against the Cowboys. And all my Cowboys fans are laughing. We'll be legalized. When are we playing pennant? You know, and for a point, even though we're like 24-0 up, when they scored that try and then the try and then they almost scored again, you start to think, here we go again. So they've got to get past that. So do fans. But yeah, look, Nico, the only way he can shut people up is by being the best playing
[00:55:55] in the competition. Anything less you're going to cop grief. Yeah. Can he do that? Yes, he can, because he's done it before. But I think our fan base, and I'm very, very guilty of this. They've picked Nico as the scapegoat. For me, it was always Braille because he touches the ball more than anyone. Nico's the half-back. They're going to get fairly targeted, but there were games like the Bulldogs game you mentioned. Everyone's talking about how well Matt Burton played. He missed three field goals before he kicked the winner.
[00:56:22] Yes, Nico missed the absolute guinea, but we didn't give him a chance to take a second shot. Their team got Burton in with fourth or fifth shots. He missed the heat. So that doesn't come in. They go, don't even know Nico should have made the attempt. Yeah. But to blame him for what happened last year is crap because he and Trimble were fantastic all year. The entire team was really good last year. We just got beaten by the greatest dynasty level of team. I reckon if we play on the other end of the draw, we probably win that game and lose the grand final.
[00:56:52] So I'm super stoked on him this year, which again, worries me because it sucks. But yeah, but I do double down on the fact that it's where we want to be like, like there's not a lot of fun in doing stuff like this preseason and you're rebuilding. I mean, I mean, there is fun. There's positives, you know, young players look, look up to, I get that.
[00:57:15] But this is kind of where you want to be as a sports fan because we're not Penrith. So it's not the expectation. We're going to win it. We're not Melbourne. So we don't have that kind of legacy history and we're not Brisbane. So we don't have that big market where we've got a big fan base spread out all around the world.
[00:57:42] But when it comes to kind of, yeah, in our real media, the whole, you know how it works. We're kind of one of the smaller clubs, but one of the more successful ones, like we've made every final except for a few and you know, 10, 15, 20, however long it's been. You guys in the stats. And whilst we're always kind of in the hunt, the window is definitely vastly open and that that does worry us, but also it's something to sort of hang your hat on.
[00:58:10] I reckon because as fans, we don't always get this opportunity. Penrith fans have had it for five years. Melbourne get it every year. The Roosters are kind of in or about every few years. For us, you know, 2016. Yeah. 2018. Yeah. Last year, last season. Yeah. But it's not every year. So I think it's, I think it's so exciting and there's a lot of pressure. Absolutely. There's pressure.
[00:58:39] But maybe there's probably five teams going into the competition this year that can genuinely win it. So, and we won it at five. And again, I hate saying these things out loud because people clip it in the line where we finish six or whatever. Well, I mean, Green Final Day last year was fantastic because we had three teams playing. We go back the week before and we had two plus our two teams playing at Prelim. Being a Sharks fan now is as good as it's ever been. So, yeah, look, if you can't get positive about this upcoming year, maybe football is not for you.
[00:59:08] There is another Sharks team playing over Shark Park. And I support, I genuinely say anyone that can please support them because I love that team almost as much as the Sharks we're talking about now. But, mate, look, there's good things on the horizon. Are you excited about NRL Dub? Hugely, mate. It's a real, I don't want to say this publicly, but it's a shame Caitlin Johnston Green won't be available because I was pegged as premiership favourites with her.
[00:59:35] Without her, we lost three forwards that she was going to cover, which sucks. But obviously, for those who don't know, she's pregnant and that is far more important than football games. Her contract will be extended by a year. And then I will cover it under the bargaining agreement. And we will get a replacement. We just lost Holly Wheeler, which really, really sucks. Yeah, I think we're the third best team again next year. But look, if we make it to a grand final, we'll go one better because of Georgia hammering. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:00:05] It's exciting. I was speaking to someone I won't name, but a listener and a sponsor of the show who has a vested interest in the women's pathway. And it's looking healthy from the lower grades in the NRL women's side of things up until first grade, so to speak. The Sharks system is one of the best. And again, it's something you can get really excited about.
[01:00:33] And there's more teams this year. There's going to be more games. There's going to be more coverage. Yeah. And it all starts this week, Dan, with the men, 7.30 Friday. It's only a few nights away, dude. I know. I'm getting excited, mate. My phone is literally going off. So when I get off this, I'll spend the next hour. People are excited, mate. They want rugby league. They want us back in their ears, which I will be forever grateful for. So thank you.
[01:00:59] But didn't you just miss that team on Tuesday, Phil, and that certain super coach, and your tits are in, and all you've got to draft this week, all the time you meet at the game? Oh, rugby league is there. It makes me very, very happy. It makes you happy, except for when it doesn't. That's the beautiful thing about it. Yeah, but I'm happy being angry, because I'm angry at people I love. I mean, you don't hate unless you love, right? We're getting pretty deep now. Hey, Dan, thanks for joining us. Fin's up, Dan.
[01:01:28] And what else do you do? Tell us what else you do, officially. We're doing yellows. Yes. I'm a zero tackle. I'm everywhere. But yeah, Fin's up. We're recording tonight. Regular league outlaws. We're also recording tonight, so both will drop some stage either tonight or tomorrow. Anyway, lots of sharp talk, because we're going to have top four previews, and spoiler alert, we're there. All right. Sounds good. Yeah, that's about it. We just wanted to jump on and do a bit of a stream.
[01:01:53] We didn't get to the Insta because of my tech inabilities, shall we say, but we got a pretty good stream here, Dan. I think I've worked out the problem, and I'm not happy about it, because it means lots and lots of money coming in my bank account. That's what it means. That's okay. It's one life we have, and let's spend it on computers. Thanks, everyone, for tuning in. Really appreciate it. We'll turn this into an audio podcast for you all. And we'll be back with lots of episodes coming up, including, dare I say, post-game Friday
[01:02:21] with hopefully an injury-free, lots of touching woods report on how the Sharkies went. So until then, we're going to say goodbye. Dan, appreciate you, my friend. Can't thank you enough. Hope you enjoyed Royal Rumble. Probably don't have time to get into all that, but that'll be another episode of something or other. Oh, yeah, what are we going to do? We're going to do WE Supercoach. Oh, yeah, we're going to do WE Supercoach, mate. JSO all the way. Once again, for 0.5% of people who know what we're talking about, you can.
[01:02:52] Or far too. Far too. We better go. We're talking wrestling. Up up, everyone. Appreciate you guys and girls. See you later. Bye.
