I mean the ch you were churning through some content, uh some award shows you saw uh on your Instagram.
So the Twe Gamala Awards, how was it?
Mate, it's a great night. Yeah.
How do the Panthers and Roosters match‑up shape the early finals picture?
It's a great night, seriously. And he he paid it's like he pays good cash.
Yeah, well they they must have paid you everything 'cause you were the only host, announcer and award presenter.
You pay as well, what can I say?
Why could the Warriors vs Dolphins be the match of the round?
What can I say?
Look, just for our listeners, I had to actually Google it thinking, who's the what is this when did you do this? I thought it was so real. That's how uh if you want to
dip the toes in for AI, there's a trend going around at the moment uh where you can turn your photos into a eighties eighties photo on Chat G V T. That's a bit of fun. Okay, there you go.
What injury concerns could affect Souths and the Knights?
Give that a try.
So it's the Sioni Tuigamala, Tuy Gamala. Tui Gamala? Yeah, didn't I
say it how you said it on the on the night? Oh well.
Tugamala. Tugamala. Tugamala.
How might the Panthers dominate the Roosters in their head‑to‑head?
Right, eh?
Right eh, fellas, escape. Um na if you go there. I actually got a message from my sister, like, oh, congratulations. And then I took put two laughing emojis in it. She said, Oh, it's AI. Um, but if you want to go check that out, I googled it. I said,
Where's the Tweegamala Awards?
What does the Dolphins’ pact on player contracts mean for their chances?
What is it for?
Yeah. I was like There's I know the Twigamata uh family and then I see you hosting an awards line and then Volkman's crying, I thought, geez, I started googling it and yeah,
congratulations bruh. Ronald Boltman, he won the he he took out the but there's actually a few awards. So if you want to check him out, uh go to his Instagram page, Sioni Tugamala. Great effort. Uh on Instagram. Um fooled fooled the boys, that's for sure. Even fooled me for a second there. I was like, hang on a sec, did I in a in a stupid doing a host host of an award show? Um boys, let's get into it, eh? Finals. Hey, Rydo, fellas, let's get into it. Uh let's preview the r the the round coming. What's your feeling heading into this? Is it the age old ah no no one outside the top four can win it? Is it a bit more open? Is Panthers the team to beat?
Which Eels recruitment moves could change their finals run?
How you feeling?
Bit of everything there, Kempi, to be honest. I think Panthers are the team to beat. Yep. I will say if they drop the hammer this weekend, it's gonna be pretty hard for anyone to bet against them. But part of me would like to see a bit of a smoky. I know we've spoken about a game that I'm looking at there on Saturday, the Warriors and the Dolphins potentially getting through, but
Will the NRL’s potential purchase of the Super League reshape the sport?
I don't know. I I definitely think the Warriors can make a dent in it. I just struggle to see them getting past a major semifinal leading into the grand final. But yeah, I'm starting to warm to what you've been saying for a while, Kemp is Dolphins could actually make a run and end up there but Yeah, a grand final without Penriff Panthers right now is pretty hard to envision. Yeah.
Yeah. I look outside of outside of the top four. I'd say the Roboto's could give it a little bit of a shake. Uh You know, I really I love what the Warriors have done this year. Dolphins, they're the healthiest probably squad in the top eight right now. Uh, Penrith are definitely the favorites. Cornella and Cowboys for me. Are there just to make up the numbers?
So there was a stud released um recently. I think it was NRL Physio, I think it was, um, in regards to injuries. I think it's like, and look, I I don't know this for sure, but I definitely know a majority of the years. The Panthers have been the least injured side for like essentially five years in a row. Now it's geez, that's underrated. Well, five or six years. In like it it might be four years, but what I'm saying is it's its majority, but I think it might actually be f essentially every year that they've been dominant, they've had the least or the in the at le at least to the s the least or the second least amount of injuries.
