If one of them go down, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the likes of Jojo Fafita go in and he might go on an edge.

But yeah, I think they're decent coverage picks.

Yeah.

For both of them though, like I think Billy's probably used his like...

he's probably looked at the Bronx and when they had all those injuries, they actually won the first two or three just out of pure grit.

Like they were able to get those wins regardless.

Obviously now they're starting to feel the squeeze of that.

Now they've had those injuries and they've, you know, it was always gonna happen, right?

They weren't gonna be able to get those gritty wins week after week.

It gets too hard to get yourself up for a game.

Over the course of 27 rounds, it's just too much.

um but it's like i think it might be a bit of a contrast thing like they get to go into camp they get to put the legs up for like not legs up but they get to put the legs up for the next nine days in preparation for the game um and then they get a little bit of a reset and i and i do think not that they're victims but i do think this year they've in certain games they've probably been victims of those like the the um

The injuries they've had?

Yeah, I still feel like they've been able to get away with it a lot this year with getting some of those gritty wins.

But I think with what they've been able to do this year, they've done well.

And I think Billy goes, you know what?

With the star-studded side they've got that you'll get for both teams in origin, I think they'll probably just bring the best out of them.

Are we going whole series prediction or just this game?

I heard you last week talking, actually it might have been on SEN, where you were saying, Kempe, you were saying that you do think Nathan might be going for this year because maybe he does want to go to Europe.

Maybe he does want to do it for a bit, even if it's for a year or two, it'd be a great experience for him mid-career to do and it might even give him a bit of longevity.
