Chapter 1: What feelings are discussed in the context of sports?
Pundits and Dribbles, we're brought to you by Four Pines Japanese Lager. And I tell you what, nothing pairs with State of Origin footy quite like a cold, crispy boy on a Wednesday night. You know what went down better than James Tedesco with the pill against Queensland late in the going to score a try to win the game for his people? Okay? It was Japanese Lager. Yeah, it was.
Am I being over the top? Am I being hyperbolic? No, I'm not. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what I'm talking about. Get down to your local. Get a slab, okay? Get one off the wood and come back to me because what you're going to come back to me with is, Eddie, you are 100% correct. That's right. Four-punch Japanese lager, baby. You are listening to the Hello Sport Podcast. Yeah, we good?
Good. Good. Well, I'm not. I'm not good. I'm pissed off. It's fucking ridiculous, dude. I'm pissed off. It's just ridiculous, man. You might be like, oh, the boy's going to be better set today. Not today, bro. No, I'm a little hungover, sure. But, like, I'm not laid down in my trackies in my own filth. I'm motivated by anger today and frustration. Well, frustration and anger.
And then blind rage. But not blind because I think the only ā we know who's blind. We know who's blind here. I'm not going to say it. We know who's blind. We're not going to say it. We're not going to say it, but we know who's blind. Every single fucking pundit, commentator, analyst who has half a fucking rugby league brain knows that that side and that bench rotation wasn't fit enough.
For service. For service, for purpose, for state of origin. There are good players in there, and sure. Did I try and trick myself into confidence? Yeah. And you know what? I'm pretty good at it by this stage because I've been doing it for years. Oh, yeah, no, dude, fucking no. I'm actually really excited about the New South Wales side this year, says Tom of 2010, about to be swept.
whenever year it was you know what I'm saying 2010 swept thank you oh no I actually like our chances in game one bang lose oh you know what game two no I think we've picked the right side bang alright that's over series over game three you know what I actually really like okay there's a sweeping I'm used to talking myself into positivity but I'm done with it I'm over it I'm over it sorry
No, no, no. Listen, Tom, please don't apologise because as Miss Rachel teaches us, it's okay to feel big feelings. Is that it? Yeah, no, you're right, dude. You're right. This is a big feelings podcast. Yeah, no, you're right. Make no mistake about it. You're absolutely right. As Miss Rachel has told us. She's taught us for many years, puns and gibblers.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts feel about the recent rugby league performance?
So if you're at home, if you're in the car, if you're at work feeling big feelings, just know that it's okay. It's okay. Because you're right, Tom. I did come in yesterday and trick myself into confidence. I was like... Maybe there's a chance that those helming things are playing one of the sneakiest cards of all time, the play dumb card almost. Yeah, you're playing possum. I'm dead.
Yeah, play dumb, play dead. Play dumb, play dead. And then ā They're from the same school. Well, I mean, because I was trying to lay down. I've been trying to lay down on this podcast, but my emotions ā Your big feelings. My big feelings, they won't allow me to lay down. I need to sit up. You've got to sit up. And confront my big feelings, all right? You've got to sit in them, Tom. Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck! And I'll tell you why it's a big fuck. It's because... I'm going to hold my breath until I pass out. I'm feeling such big feelings. We learnt yesterday that those at the home weren't playing dumb, nor were they playing dead. Well, they weren't playing it. And they weren't playing, and... There was no playing. Things aren't looking good for us, bruv.
Game one was an absolute rugby league stinker. We lost game one. Masqueraded, Tom. Masquerading is the greatest comeback of all time. It was a masquerade ball where everyone goes in there and they wear masks and they're usually bourgeoisie pedophiles. Now, that's weird. Obviously, eyes wide shut. You know what I'm saying. Well, listen, it's satanic rituals. It's the mutilating of goats.
It's, you know, it's barnyard stuff, right? It's bohemian growth. That's right. That's right. That's got nothing to do with... Billionaires with no moral fibre. No. That's not what we're talking about here. Dictated by profits only. Dictated by profits. Usually lacking in social. And the blood of the young. Not important. Not important.
What's important is that we masqueraded as the greatest comeback team of all time in Game 1. There were gifts that were given from the gods above. We took them and we ran with them. We come into Game 2... And everyone on both sides of the tweed, Tom, we were unified for once around the common knowledge that we'd picked a weird fucking side.
We picked a weird side and we picked a weird bench and we have a weird coach. I think there was uniformity around those beliefs. Well, it was complete a grant. Not since the Socceroos, the famous win over Turkey, has the nation been united around one thing more than weird team, weird bench, weird coach.

Chapter 3: What insights do they share about coaching decisions?
Bad loss. Horrific loss. Horrific. And I don't want to sit here and just throw rugby league stones at the great player, Laurie Daly, who was a great player. Well, the great bloke and the great player, Laurie Daly. Great man. And the great man, Laurie Daly. And New South Wales ornament, Laurie Daly. Yes. Right? I don't want to hate on an ornament. No, but we're not.
And I think that it's such a good place. Fuck. It's such a good place in this podcast to sort of unpack that for a second. Great player. Great bloke. Great man. Ornament. All these things are true. However, what is staring us in the face is that Laurie Daly is coaching currently his seventh season. Series, rather. Series, yeah. He has coached one less series. If you can believe it. I know.
Then Phil Gould. Yeah, we looked at this stat last night. Phil Gould, punters and dribblers, if you weren't aware, coached eight, won six, lost one, drew one. Lost one to Fatty in 95. That's what we call a statistical anomaly. Yep. Right? Our greatest ever coach. Yeah, and they had the draw in 2001. Our greatest ever coach and our worst ever coach.
And then just behind him by one single series, Tom, is Laurie Daly, the ornament, right? Whose statistics are currently six series completed for one victory. So one and five. And that was the anomaly. Yeah. That was the anomaly for him. And staring down the rugby league barrel, it would seem, of one from seven. And he's our second most capped coach. He was brought back with a one for five record.
Yeah. And listen, I'm angry, right? I'm big feelings. Tommy, big feelings over here. But whomever, because there's a lot of people that are in my rugby league sites today, right? There's a few people that I want gone, that I want... you know, thrown off the proverbial cliff.
But whoever has been running this fucking rabble of a state from picking a guy who's one from five, soon to be one from six, or sorry, one from five, now one from six, soon to be one from seven, potentially, most likely not looking great. Should already be one from seven if you think that Kalen shouldn't have been sent off. And my opinions can change.
But you pick that guy again, right, whomever has made that decision. Then you've got these weird fucking team announcements done on, you know, 720p YouTube stream shit. 720 is still HD, my friend. This is like 480. 480.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts address the concept of 'big feelings'?
You can't censor a fucking football. You're dropping... And so there's that. And then you get the guy... Production quality. Production quality is at an all-time low. And then you've got this guy who... Whether you believe it or not, Queensland journos come out and write it that he's fucking putting people to sleep. Like a crazy article. It's a crazy article.
It's baseless without a single quote in it. But that's kind of media these days. Okay, rugby league journalism with quotes? I don't think so. We can't reveal our sources, but could you quote someone? But I will say this. His record would suggest that he cannot coach State of Origin or Rugby League generally. And to Laurie, I'd say, what are you doing this for? I know. What? Why?
What are you putting yourself through it for? You're a great of the game. Stop it. Stop it. Fucking get out of here. People have short memories, Laurie. Mate. You need to understand that. You're clouding. The first time you went away, I only ever remembered that you won the- The Drought Breaker. You won the Drought Breaker. Listen, I had some other memories, but mostly- Mostly, Tom. Mostly.
Listen, the memory that came first, right, was always that we had the Drought Breaker in 2014, and it was a beautiful moment from the state. No one really remembered. They sort of did, but not really. We never forget, but certainly the first memory, Edward, was 14. You know what my second memory might have been, though? What? Don't come back. Don't come back.
Well, when he announced his coming back, I think there was a collective gasp. Yes! What? Why would we do that? And now, all that is happening... Why would you do that? All that's happening is the sullying, unfortunately... And unjustly. And unjustly, but it's happening. But not.
Listen, when you're an ornament and you're getting articles written by the Courier Mail saying that you're putting players to sleep in origin speeches... Yeah. That's the sullying of a great game. No, it is. There's no other way to look at that. No, no. And, you know... Um, I think, uh, was it Bedell?
Maybe I could got that wrong on three 60 was like, Oh, but it's, they're talking about it or carry on us. They're talking about, um, him as a coach, not as a man and brace. Like I sort of think they're the same thing here. If you've been accused of putting people to sleep in origin, rev up speeches, you sort of have it in a dig at the man. As far as I'm concerned, you're having it.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of team selections for the next game?
You have you, you are having a dig at the man when he's got the whistle on. When he's got the whistle on the clipboard, the man does not move mountains. He doesn't even move molehills. All he does is move me to fucking rugby league tears. He... I mean, it's just like... You just look at the way... I know we've all got the Hamale axe to grind, which was... We've ground it.
We've ground it, but that was glaringly fucking obvious last night that that was a dumb decision. You didn't like Ethan Strange off the bench. For four minutes, no. And I didn't like ā I didn't like Adam Fenua Blake for 10. And I didn't like that you fucking rest Mitchell Moses. You hook Mitchell Moses and go, oh, nah. Mate, just doing him a favor because of his hammy. I'm like ā
Why'd you fucking pick him if you're giving him a rest at the end of the game? Now, did he do anything? No, he didn't do anything. He didn't do anything, but that's on you, brah. You picked him, and now you're giving him a rest for his fucking hamstring? Shut up. Have a better answer there. Or just admit you hooked him. If you want, just admit you hooked him.
What I want answers for, what I want answers for, again, Laurie, why are you putting yourself through it? We're here, whether we like it or not, we're going to sit in our big feelings and we're going to call it as we see it. And I am almost moved to the seeing of red, Tom, which in my world is like the highest possible anger threshold. I think that's most people's. Once I enter it. Yeah.
I'm not even sure what I'm doing, right? Like I lose all cognitive ability, really. You make dumb decisions and you say things you regret. And then you come down off that fucking, out of that weird place and you usually have to make a few apologies, right? You've abused an ornament or two. I need him to explain to me Why Pipes, Pecks and Brows played 80 minutes.
Yeah, Reece Robson, no knock on you, except that you didn't play great and there's probably better options. But why? And Appy Coruscant. Why? The original Tom Boots scootin' baby who used to drive us crazy, right? Well, an obsession from the Western. Dance for a day. Romeo, Romeo. I don't know. Head to toe. 5, 6, 7, 8. We know the words. Okay.
Why don't you get a bloke who likes to shake his thang out of dummy half, put the markers fucking ā keep the markers on us, Tom, for Christ's sake. Why wouldn't you put him on for a spell? I don't know. The great Andrew Johns, have you heard of him? His reputation precedes him. He goes, the easiest and most simple way to attack is ā
is through the ruck challenging the forwards with some dummy half attack and reach... Is that rolling the ruck, Tom? I don't know, Edward. Don't ask too many follow-ups. If you excavate, if you dig too deep, I run out of answers. All I'm saying is...
It was clear to every motherfucker watching that game, including two dumbasses with heads of hair that will not quit, that Appie Corisow was needed in that game.

Chapter 6: How do they analyze the performance of specific players?
Oh, he was needed. It was so fucking obvious that we needed some spark. Yeah. Well, you know what we needed? Points. And that was Appie Corisow. What the fuck is going on that you leave that boot scooting baby on the bench? Why? Just insane. His inability to truly explain, even to lie, like politicians lie all the time.
You know, politicians will talk me into a state, talk people, talk the society into a state of like lullaby. Okay, I accept whatever you're saying. It turns out they're foolish. of shit in their life. But lie to me, dude. Lie to me. Lie to me in a convincing way.
When you say you're going to drop Hamale Oluwatu, who is the best fucking back rower in the comp right now, most damaging, when you tell me that you're dropping him for Dylan Lucas, find a better way to lie to me. When you say that Mitchell Moses is getting rested...
After doing fuck all in that game, you're just telling me you're worried about his hamstring that you said was fine and that you were going to pick him and you had nothing to worry about? Lie to me better! I just want you to... Placate me! I want you to tell... Placate me! Laurie, I want you to tell me it's huge when I slip it in, even though we both know it's not. We both know it's tiny.
It's the biggest you've ever had. Is it that hard? Is it that difficult to spin a white lie that makes us all feel better? It's obvious you have no answers. It's obvious you're out of ideas. Lie to me. Lie to me. But lie to me good. Lie to me. He's just ā even just lied to me. No, because you lied to me when you said that it was a form-based selection. True.
You lied to me when ā Well, maybe he believes it. Maybe he does. I'll say this. Listen. We also sucked, just the team generally. We were awful. It was the team that he picked, but we sucked. We were awful. The team was disgusting. We were awful. I don't even really have a strong answer as to like what you ā Well, forwards, we got dominated in the forwards. Dominated in the forwards.
Ketone Staggs, thank you for your service to the state. We're basically playing with 13 men, though, because I don't even know what we did with the bench. Could you just get the team up, please? Shout out to Queensland, by the way. Mitch Barnett obviously came on. Listen, I just want to say shout out to Queensland. We started, didn't we? He started with Payne. He started. He only played 25.
Yeah, nice.

Chapter 7: What are the emotional responses to the state of the team?
Cam Murray. Did you see Cam Murray? Did Yo go to the front row when Cam Murray came on? Hey, Isaiah Yo, get out of the way. That's all I'm saying. Obviously, you're a great player and I want you in the team, but get out of the way. Yeah, Isaiah played 71, so he would have gone to the middle when Cam came on. How many metres did Tottenham make?
158.
He refuses not to make 100 metres even though he had a quiet game. Dude, he had a quiet game and he's just a fucking freak of nature. Yeah, yeah. Jojo for feeder. Well, Jojo. Jojo. Just like... Just to run through them for a second. Jojo, unbelievable. Selwyn, unbelievable. Robert Toya, unbelievable. Kim Munster, unbelievable. Sam Walker, unbelievable.
I was listening to, I think it was Matty... Lizzie Collins, unbelievable. Matty Jones, Max Plath. Max Plath, unbelievable. Munster, I don't know if you said him already. I did. Fucking Ponga was insane. Annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying. You're all fucking annoying and you're doing my head in. Mark was good on debut.
Mark was great. Mark was a bright spot. And I tell you what, hey, I like this as an idea. Let's have an edge. Now, granted, Marky Mark scored two. But... Let's have an edge with Mitchell Moses, who, you know, has done the thing for the state before. Mitchell Moses, Hudson Young, Tolu Kula, Brian To'o. Don't use it. Let's not go there ever. I tell you what we do. I tell you what we do.
Let's only play down one side of the field. And that way we'll keep them guessing. If we only ever go right. Well, you know, then they might think, wow. They might be like, oh, they're definitely going to go left. And then we just keep going right. Yeah, that's the fucking way to do it, dude. That's the fucking way to do it.
And I'll tell you what, when we do go right, though, make sure Dylan Lucas doesn't get the ball. No, well, Dylan Lucas. Just avoid him altogether. No, no, no, exactly. We just want Dylan to run for 53 metres for the whole game. Form base. Listen, our halves didn't play great. Payne Haas, nine runs, 69 metres. Payne didn't play great.

Chapter 8: What final thoughts do the hosts have about the future of the team?
Reece Robson didn't play great. 15 metres for Reece Robson? Is that what I'm looking at? Am I looking at 15 fucking metres from two runs for Reece Robson? Two runs. That is fucked. But you know what? That's fucked. But you know what? You know what? Instead of asking tough rugby league questions out of dummy half, let's just give the ball maybe to Isaiah Yeo. Yeah.
And he can just sort of play that. Well, I like Isaiah as a link man between the playmakers. That's what I like. And I also like it when he gets all the pill. No, he's first receiver. Yeah. I think it goes from Reese who's never going to run. Uh, you go to Isaiah who then maybe turns it back inside for a fucking back rower. Uh, not any shape, not challenging defenders.
Let's just turn them back in. Uh, keep them guessing, you know, um, We're brought to you by Ned's. Yes, sir. Our good friends at Ned's, the number one betting platform on planet Earth. Yes, sir. We did watch the UFC stream today and we did go four from seven. Yes, sir. Better than 50%, not a big deal. Yes, sir.
Listen, we were on fire today and you can't catch that sort of heat without a betting platform backing you up. Yeah. Right? Do you know what I'm saying? Well, otherwise it'd just be you and me like betting smarties or something. Okay, listen, I don't really want to bet Smarties with you. I want to bet cold hard cash. And the best place to do that, punters and dribblers, is with Neds.
If you'd like to follow Tom and I and what we get up to, which would be advised because, again, let me reiterate, we were hot today, use the Neds profiles. Simple as that. Neds, get amongst it. Now, what are you really gambling with? For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Hudson Young had a fucking red hot rugby league crack, but he had to go find the ball.
He had to go do the work himself because you best believe they weren't going left. Dylan Lucas. Feel bad for Dylan in that he was up against it anyway. He's a good player. Not knocking him. Not knocking him. Everyone played like shit, so it's not like just him. Except for Kula was pretty good. Mark was great. Mate, Kula, considering he never got the ball, was good. Mark, Kula was good. Teddy.
Kula was good. Teddy was all right. He was all right. It didn't do much, but he was all right. Hudson was okay. Hardy was good. I tell you who had a bit of a rugby league stinker with a capital S. Katoni Stein.
Listen, again, thank you for your service to the state, Katoni, but I don't think ā you've had a couple of cracks now at Origin, and I don't think he has what is required for long-term service. We also don't know how to play ad-lib footy. We think we're a 1950s dad who's only ever fucked doggy missionary, right?
He goes to work, he's an accountant, and he's fucking got no imagination, and he's a systems and processes guy, and you've got to do it this way because this is the way we've always done it, and this is how we have sex, and it's really formulaic, and it's only to get pregnant. He doesn't do it for fun. Queensland, it seems, want to bend you over a hay bale and make you have multiples.
