Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Shortball Podcast. Back after a couple weeks, hiatus was up in the state of Queensland for a couple of weeks. Um back now. Just gonna have a pretty brief one today. Um answer some of your questions from Instagram, talk briefly about Origin Under 19s, which is just around the corner. Um, in about two hours' time, the girls' side will be um announced. And then the men's side next Wednesday uh at 6 p.m. So uh obviously all of those updates will be coming on Instagram, and I'll obviously you know be reacting to the sides and and all that sort of thing and do preview podcasts and all that. So uh make sure you stay tuned for that. I'm also gonna cover New South Wales Cup, the games that I watched over the weekend. Um I'm slowly getting back into it. Um it's obviously a bit of a uh bit of a transition. It was good the week that I was up in um I was Port Douglas after Magic Round, and um there was only four games of New South Wales Cup that week to cover, so uh made it pretty easy for me. But back into the full swing of things this week and obviously over the next couple of weeks as well. We'll get back to doing those longer podcasts, deep diving into sort of everything across all the juniors and whatnot. But we'll get into it now. Um just with the origin under 19 uh sides, there's obviously been a couple of injuries come about of late. Um, so Cooper Johnson from my so from my preview podcast from my predicted teams, Cooper Johnson was in that team, he's injured. Um, so he won't be there, obviously. Um the wing spot is blown wide open for New South Wales at the moment. Like even Cooper Johnson was a guy who was probably a bit more of a smoky pick. Um, but you know, you look at uh the Australian school boys titles, Philippe Facajo and uh um and uh the other winger was I believe Verhoven. So obviously a Queenslander, he won't play, uh and a Kiwi as well. Um so obviously he won't play. Um and then you've got you know New South Wales under 17s last year. Probably opens the door for a guy like um Cyrus Bloomfield, who was you know, he was good in in SG ball. I thought he had a couple of errors to his game. I think he ended up the season with 18 errors or something like that, but he does have that attacking upside. He's obviously a highly skilled, high potential player. He's been a guy who you know played two seasons of Howard Matthews and was um you know uh electric with ball in hand there and he continued to do so on that left wing spot for the Paramount Reals. I think he was one of the leading try scorers in the comp, maybe just behind Mel Nonu. So he's probably a guy that that probably goes into that jersey. I've spoken about you know, Wesley Papali a fire. Himassi Makasini, I believe, is injured as well, so gonna miss um gonna miss that game as well. Um, although I doubt he would have played anyway, as I said in my my preview podcast or my prediction teamless podcast. So um yeah, that that wing spot's blown wide open. Maybe you move uh uh uh Dane Jennings to the wing, and then you have somebody else slotting to the centres because there is a couple of centre options there. Um you know there there is options um for what they can do, and and you know, I can see Dane Jennings being shifted to to to a wing to maybe accommodate someone if they don't really see any top-class wing options because at the moment the two wing options that I'm looking at on my um predicted lineups here are both injured at the moment, and um yeah, I'm just I'll speak about in the preview. Maybe a guy like Ben Stringer, uh he played New South Wales Cup two years ago, he's potentially a guy that could come into that calculation as well. But yeah, it's a it's pretty tough for wing depth at the moment for New South Wales. I think that's going to be a tough decision for them to make. Maybe you know, a shift of fullback out there like an Oliver Lester, um, who yeah, he he's a top quality player in his own right. Um who was the fullback last year for school boys? Cameron Bamblett. He's played, he's played in the centres before. I know that um maybe he could slot in there because obviously I've got Rex Bathingswaite as the fullback, and um, you know, a guy of the quality of Cameron Bamblett maybe might just be a guy that you have to pick. So you could shift him in there. It's gonna be interesting to see what they do with that back five anyway. Um, and then on the Queensland side of things, I feel like this is an easy fix personally. Kalani Lavender's out, he was my starting back rower. I would shift um Brian Poigneau down to back row and probably put Joseph Tapoussi in the centre position. Um that would probably be my first line of thought. Um, obviously, you've got a guy like Jared Horn who can cover the back row as well. Um I was just looking at uh my predicted lineup there. Jared Horn was originally my 17. I actually have gone for um Chayev Colone from the uh Canberra Raiders. I think he's a guy that could slot onto that bench. He's been doing some really nice things. He was good in New South Wales Cup the other day. I'll speak about that a little bit later when I cover that Raiders game, but he's a guy I could see sneaking onto that bench. Um, but yeah, he he's another guy, Jared Horn. You could probably shuffle into that lineup with the injury of Kalani Lavender, but I think it will be Brian Poignew moves to the back row. He's been doing a really good job there in Queensland Cup, and then you, you know, Joseph Tapusi goes into the centre spot, who's obviously been a highly rated um center up there in Queensland for a couple of years now, and uh, you know, killed it for Keeper Park last year and over the last couple of years, realistically. Um he's been doing good some good things up there, so he's probably the guy that you put into that spot, but that's just about it for uh New South Wales and Queensland on the 19s. The only other thing I would say is Diesel Hagen's form in New South Wales Cup probably has to be rewarded. Cody Hills, he's been my guy throughout the whole you know, SG ball. Jersey Fleg, he's been you know, he's been going good in Jersey Fleg as well. They had a buy um and you know, a week off obviously during Magic Round, I think uh Jersey Fleg had as well. So he hasn't really had the chance to play over the last month. Um he will get a rider reply over the next, well, this weekend's probably the last chance to to get that rider reply. Um but Diesel Hagen doing it at New South Wales Cup level, I that tends to shift the selectors towards that that guy who's playing at the higher level, um, even though I think Cody Hill had a better SG ball season. Diesel Hagen's form since making his New South Wales Cup debut has been tip top, and I think they're probably just gonna lean that direction at the moment. Uh New South Wales Cup, let's talk about it. Knights versus Eels. That's my first game that I watched live. It was obviously the Fox League game this week. Um you know, this was just a demolition job in the second half. The the Newcastle Knights were all over them. They were pretty better team for the most of the game, realistically, too. Um Parramatta had their moments, they got into the lead 12-10 at one point. But most of this game it was um pretty Newcastle dominated. I thought Conavitano had a really, really good game. He's sort of been, I think, lacking a little bit of confidence um since his NRO debut. I, you know, as you know, most people who watch that game would remember he had a little bit of a stinker that day, um, you know, bombed a couple of tries and um had a couple of errors. It was a little bit more unlike him, but um I think this was a real confidence boosting game. His kicking game was actually one of the most impressive parts. He only had four kicks, but in those four kicks there was a lot of precision. One of them was a try assist, um, you know, forced dropouts. He put a long kick in at one point that found grass and and sort of pinned Parramatta inside their territory. So I think he had a really good game, Con of Itana. He got my two points in this game. The three points had to go to James Schiller. Um, obviously, you know, you get these guys who are you know probably not proven at the NRL level but have played their you know 30 to 40 gamers that mostly New South Wales Cup guys like your James Schiller's, you know, like your Ronald Volkman's, your Dean Hawkins, these sorts of guys, all very experienced New South Wales Cup players that just dominate and you see what they can do when they get a mismatch in particular. Um James Schiller this day, three tries, two try assists, 14 runs, uh 16 runs for 183. Like he just absolutely blitzed them all day. Um there was obviously a controversial call with him taking a catch and then blatantly stepping out over the line and still got called a try, but you know, no uh video review in New South Wales Cup, so you get away with that. That was a try-assist to Toby Winter, who's just in his second New South Wales Cup game. Um I've already said Toby Winter and Dane Jennings is probably the easiest pick in that whole New South Wales lineup for mine, and um he's just proving why he's gone up to New South Wales Cup and taken any stride, two tries, a try assist, um, 77 run meters, not too many run meters, but you don't really expect that of Toby Winter. I've always sort of you know compared him to a guy like Latrobe Mitchell where you know you're not expecting big run meters out of him. You just when you get inside the opposition 20, he's going to great points for you, and he's continuing to do that. You know, three try involvements in this game. Um he got my one point in this one. Probably could have been Tyson Gamble, who was really good. He had four try assists. Um his kicking game was on point for for most of it. But um, yeah, I think Toby Winter in his second game, the amount of um high high quality touches he was having in the opposition uh red zone was was just really good. You know, a couple of line break assists um as well as a line break, and you know, one of his tries was off um a kick supporting through. So um, yeah, just just a quality game there from Toby Winter. Anything else from a knights perspective, Francis Mane Lelua as well, he was uh incredible in this game, just you know, at his barn storming best in that back row position. He was another one that made my team of the week um for this round. But overall, just Newcastle domination. You you praise most of the players in that side for their performance there. Like uh yeah, it was just a clinical game all around. Well, Paramato, they were a little bit lacklustre. I thought their edge defence was awful, um, to put it bluntly. Um there wasn't too many shining lights. Upper twiddle in his first half, you know, the commentators went on and on and on about it. Um he had to obviously come off because he was 18th man in first grade at halftime, but his first half was really good. Try and a try assist, um, you know, just the those classy touches, his kicking game was really good. He's really um you know, looked good each time that he's worn that seven jersey in New South Wales Cup. I think it's not obviously his natural position, he's a fullback. Um, you know, pretty much exclusively, he's been a fullback for as long as I've seen it. And um, yeah, he's been really good since transitioning to that seven jersey in New South Wales Cup. Um I thought the bench forwards left a little bit to be desired. Um Joseph Nora, I thought came on and had a little bit of a tough game when he replaced Upper Twiddle. Um a couple of defensive uh moments where Francis Munal went straight through him a couple of times. Um but yeah, overall Newcastle good, parabad to sum that game up. Um Jet Seagulls, I um only watched this game in bits and pieces because obviously it wasn't one of my 3-2-1 games. Um AJ Lucantonio from League Scene Pod done the 3-2-1s for that game. Um, and I'll just pull them up now while I search. Uh News of the World's Cup, Newtown vs. Manley, 3 Liam Ison, 2, Joey Walsh, 1, Riley Pollard. Um yeah, Liam Ison had a huge game in this one on the stat sheet at least. Uh try 24 runs for 254 metres. I thought um on a Tony Large, I thought he had a pretty good game in this one. Defensively, he was solid. Um, scored a try. No, just did his job. Joey Walsh was electric whenever he touched the ball. Um, but he obviously had a couple of errors throughout this game and um you know wasn't at his absolute best um defensively either. But it's part of the job when you're developing these young halves. You were still super electric and challenged the Jets defense at all times. Um, but yeah, overall, the guys that talk about Liam Ison, Taj Ford, Riley Pollard had good games for the Jets. Um 60-6 over the Roosters, another dominating game that I had the privilege of giving out my 3-2-1s for. Uh, this was a Hayden Watson show, too, tries to assist. Um, defensively, he was really good, 25 without a miss. Had one error, wasn't too bad. Um, but yeah, overall, he was just his running game was on point. He's been elected coming into New South Worlds Cup. And um, I was talking about plus minus the other day on my Instagram. His plus-minus for this team's now at about uh plus fifty-six, I think, or plus fifty-two. Um so yeah, he he's made a huge impact in his two games thus far. Uh, has Hayden Watson and Um yeah, he he was just clinical in this game, and he you know, it doesn't look overly natural at seven. Um, you know, I was speaking to a few people about this. He, you know, even in that first try that he scored the the grabber kicking behind, it doesn't, you know, he doesn't move like a traditional seven, and the way he passes the ball, it's sort of like um he it's like a dummy half, and you know, he naturally I think he's best positioned, he's probably dummy half, and you know, he's played a lot of that um up in Queensland, but geez, the way he's um you know the way he's taken control of the seven jersey over the last sort of six months at Melbourne, you know, just done a really high quality job there. Um and he has that way of playing that you you don't really know what to expect from him. Um he just sees the game in a slightly different way, and that's I think really helped him. Um eyes up footballer, you know, just really fun to watch overall. Uh Gabriel Satrick, he was nearly my three points throughout most of this game. I just thought Hayden Watson um wrapped it up with a couple of late try assists. Um, but yeah, Gabriel Satrick, he was electric through the middle. He was sort of carving them up. Um Josiah Pahulu, he was really good through the middle as well. He was another one in the team of the week. And Angus Hinchy was another guy who was on fire in this game. What was my three-two-wons? I went um, oh, it wasn't even my three-two-wins, I just watched this game live. But um AJ Lucantonio, he gave three to Hayden Watson, two to Satrick, and one to Josh Durkin. Um, Josh Durkin as well, he came into this side for the first time in New South Wales. Carp had a try assist, had a couple of just classy touches. Um, his heating game was good as it usually is. He went 10 from 10 um off the T as well. No errors defensively, he's a very good um half there as well. Uh I think he really shores up an edge defensively, and um it's obviously proved the case here because Storm's edge defense was probably the worst in the comp coming into this uh game, and they've only conceded six points to the fourth place Roosters. So um obviously, you know, Josh Durkin and Hayden Watson defensively have helped out there um in the halves. And um I thought Durkin the the classiest touch for mine was fifth and last. They rush up on him because he's been getting some good kicks away. He decides to run, gets an offload away. I think it might have been Paulu who who punched through and then they ended up scoring off the back of it. Just some of those sorts of moments. He also um didn't it wasn't a try assist, but he he threw a nice ball to I believe Amaziah Murger, um, who tipped onto the winger to score. Um that was on the right side, so it would have been uh Siolangi Tuumelatu Brown. Um, but yeah, good performance there from the storm, not too much to talk about from the Roosters. Darcy Smith gets on the um score sheet uh in his first career start, but um, apart from that, not really too much to speak on. Uh the Panthers-Warriors game. This was probably the only game I didn't watch at all. Uh well, I watched highlights of it, but um yeah, Jay Lennane, he looks like a proper footballer for the Warriors, but it was the the Panthers win here 30 points to 20. It was on at the same time as some of the other games I had to cover. So um, I'll just give you the three-two-wons from this game. Kurt Falls, Toby Crosby, Jay Lennane were the 3-2-1 in that order. They won 30 to 20. They were up big at one point, 30 points to nil. I thought Luke Metcalf, um, you know, I watched probably about, you know, I watched highlights and I watched about the 30th to 40th minute or 20th to 40th minute or whatever. I thought Luke Metcalf looked pretty rusty, um, and that sentiment was echoed. Um, he had a pretty bad drop close to the line at one point, just one off the ruck, and yeah, it was it was looked just didn't look quite right um for Luke Metcalf. He also had seven tackles and five misses, so uh seven tackles and six misses rather, which is uh pretty poor reading. Raiders Dragons, one of my games, uh the Raiders, this was oh, I thought watching live, um, you know, I gave my three points to Kobe Black, two points to Mark uh Twiali. Mark Twiali, obviously, I've come out, I gave him my pathways player of the round and all that. He statistically, he was obviously the guy. 18 tackle breaks, seven offloads. You won't see that sort of stat line very often. But um, I just thought Kobe Black in this game, his kicking game, really controlled it, and and the way I sort of um compared it, and and the reason why I gave Kobe Black the three points and Mark Tuiali the two points in this game was Kobe Black seemed to be the guy in control, um, whereas Mark Touyali looked like the the the tip of the spear, like he was the he was the guy, you know, in attack, creating things out wide on edge. Um you know, he had 18 tackle breaks and stuff and offloads, but there was really probably three or four highlight plays there. Um and you know, Kobe Black for the first 40 minutes, like the the back three couldn't catch his bombs at all. Um there was two tries scored off of them as well, like one of them a big spiral bomb that the winger couldn't get to. He kicks it forward, Kane Anderson tips on, they score in the corner, and then one that was just a straight-up kick in the air for Kane Anderson to come through. He was awesome in this game as well, Kane Anderson. Um, he was very close to getting points, but obviously Mark Tugliali was you know the the excitement factor in this game. The it you know, he put in one of the better attacking displays you'll see from a center, um, and he was consistent throughout the whole game, not just that first 40 where they dominated. Um but yeah, Kobe Black, I just thought had the ball on a string off his off his boot, and um, that's why he was my three points. Uh my one point went to Regan Carr. I thought defensively, I thought he was really good on that left edge. He scored a try, he laid one on as well with a nice uh pass back on the inside um off that can Kane Anderson catch um from the Kobe Black bomb that I mentioned before. He had 16 runs for 163 metres. I thought he was just running really physical and and and he was going straight in the contact, um, which I liked. He caught my eye early in this game. He's caught my eye every time I've really watched him, Regan Carr. He's very physical, um very physical player, goes after the game, and uh things you know go his way. He's a centre slash back row. He played a lot of centre last year in Jersey Flegg. I'm keen to see how his career develops. Um, off the bench, Thoughtshaw of Colone and Jay's Twiggamala were the two guys um that impressed me the most. Um Jay's Twigamala didn't really show up on the stat sheet as much, um, but you know, six runs for 63 metres. I just thought each of his runs uh were impactful. I thought he he looked like he was um bending the lineback every time he carried the footy, and they you know created things off the back of that. Shy of Calone, I just thought he was super busy when he got onto the field, and that turned out to be the case. 15 runs for 175 metres in 34 minutes, so uh uh or 45 minutes rather. Very um good game from him off the bench, and you know, he sort of creeping up for that Queensland 19 selection for mine. I thought he was really good through SG ball, and that performance there just you know backs up the quality that he obviously has. From a Dragons perspective, Jacob Alangarhu was their best player on the field by far. I thought um he nearly made my team of the week. Um I've ended up opting for Kane Anderson just because of how good he was in that left-center position. Um, but he was very, very nearly in my team of the week. Jacob Allengahu, 15 runs for 157 metres, six tackle breaks, 17 without a miss, zero errors. Um, just you know, physically through the middle, he just you know looked like a different beast at that level. Um, he's obviously better than New South Wales Cup at the moment, Jacob Alangarhu, and he continues to prove that pretty much every time he plays. Apart from that, not too much to talk about. Their edges got um torn apart. The back three just struggled to catch a kick, and um yeah, it was pretty tough ewing for the Dragons for the most part. Their second half was pretty good. Um, you know, they won the second half 16 points to four, so that's a that's a win to take away. And um, obviously, uh you know, I praise Helen Gahu for his game. Wesley Pring, I thought he bounced back in the second half quite nicely as well because his first half was pretty average. Um, but yeah, there's not too much else to speak about there. And then the last game, Magpie's Bulldogs, another one of my games. Um, three points. It was the Solomon Sakura show in this one throughout the entirety. Um, you know, four lot four tries, it's pretty tough to beat. 13 runs for 230 metres. He's obviously been a highly touted player coming through the grades. He's played a number of positions, I think he's played every single position at some point in his career, front row, back row. Um, you know, he played a lot of back row last year in Jersey Fleg, um, wing, center, you know, fullback. I'm pretty sure he's played fullback as well. Um so yeah, he's a highly talented player, Solomon Sakuru. And um, it's good to see him starting to really progress. He was good in Jersey Fleg last year, and then you know, he's been really good in New South Wales Cup, uh, particularly on the weekend. Um, so that was good to watch him get over the chalk four separate times. My two points went to uh CS Sasiah Alatini on the centres. He he was destructive at his absolute destructive best. Three try assists, two line breaks, two line break assists. Like every single time he touched the ball, he he he was threatening and looked like he was going to um burst straight through you know, eight runs of the footy for um four line break involvement. So he he was just um on a different level whenever he touched the ball out wide there. And Javon Andrews, he was my um one point, had a couple of tries. It's just classy touches, three line break involvements, no errors, and his kicking game was really good with the kicking that he did do. He didn't do as much as he might usually do. But you know, Jersey 6, he sort of took a little bit more of a backwards step to Ben Stevanovich, even though actually I'm looking at the numbers now, and Stevanovich only had one more kick than him. But yeah, he was um quality as well, Javon Andrews, and he has been all year uh realistically for this Magpie's news of the Worlds Cup side. Um not too much else to speak about. I've got a lot of Queensland for you to catch up on. You'll notice that I haven't really been doing my NRL Q 3-2-1s of late just because I you know haven't really caught up on them yet, but we'll um have a look. There's still you know six rounds left in a grand final, so I'll pump up that. But um just a little update on the NRL Q. Cowboys in front, four wins, two losses. Um then Dolphins next three wins a draw and two losses. That draw came this week against the Broncos, who are in the last with one win, one draw, four losses, and the Titans are three and three in third position. Um obviously the Broncos, a couple of their players have been you know pushed up to uh Queensland Cup, probably prioritizing their development a little bit more. Guy like Tupol Francis has gone up there and uh done really good things for the Burley Bears in in Q Cup, watched his game over the week, and I thought he was really good when he got onto the field, and it sort of helped me notice a trend with him as well. Talking about plus-minus before his plus minus since getting up there has been unreal. I think they're plus 19 with him on the field and minus 27 with him off it in the last two weeks. So um and his defensive work, like he his defensive work is um is top-notch. He's probably one of the better defenders in his age group overall. Um, but yeah, in terms of NRL Q, Cowboys going really well. Archie Measeritz's been one to watch all year. Taj Lateo captaining the side now, or Taj Lateo um captaining the side now, doing some really good things there. It's you know, a lot of their um Townsville Blackhawk side that won the comp in in um Malmaninga Cup. So um obviously they're they've been bolstered by those reinforcements and they're looking quite good. So yeah, keen to follow that competition a little bit more over the coming weeks. Um, but yeah, apart from that, uh let's get into some questions. I was about to wrap it up then, but I've got questions to answer because I put them up on my Instagram story. So let me get those up real quick. Um, and then we'll wrap up the podcast there. Questions, questions, questions, questions, questions. Um, and a lot of these questions are always just statement and a fire emoji, or like thoughts on this person, or thoughts on this person, or um, you know, questions like um Oscar Crotty Fleg debut question mark. Yep. Um not a thoughts on, or not a yeah, some of these, yeah, some of them poor up your game people. Um who do you think will be the halves for under 19s New South Wales? Uh, I've still got it as Carter Marico and Onatoni Large as my two halves. I think Carter Marico's, you know, you don't win SD Ball player of the year and miss the under 19s like rep sides. I just don't see how that happens, although it happened last year with Lorenzo. So um he probably has to be there for mine, and then on Antonio Large, I think he's just been too high quality over the course of this season to miss out, and obviously a high potential player as well that's been highly wrapped for a long time. Taj Alvarez will be stiff to miss it. I think he should be the 18th man, but yeah, Anatoni Large Catamarik go for mine. Um what are the chances Darcy Smith is the round one replacement for Angus Crichton? I actually think without, you know, these this sort of off the top of my head, without looking too deeply into what their back row stocks are. I think he probably does debut next year, Darcy Smith. Um, you know, obviously the the Roosters have had a lot of back rowers over the last couple of years, and they've got a lot of guys in cover a lot of positions, you know, Victor Radley, Siwa Wongs, and all that cover lock back row, all that sort of thing. So um it's probably gonna be a little bit tough for Darcy Smith to crack that side, but I do think he will debut next year. Not sure if he's the round one replacement. Um, maybe even debuts this year, he's obviously a very high quality player. Um, but yeah, we'll we'll see how that pans out. Um as we move on to the next question. What point do dogs pivot with their halfback plans Woods has had for Hami since preseason? Yeah, well, the point where Alex Conti continues to stamp his name in New South World's Cup, I just don't see how a guy can continue on the trajectory that Conti has been on. Woods obviously unlucky with injuries, he's a high quality player, but um, you know, they might pivot to Conti at some point because obviously they don't see Galvin as the halfback. I don't see them playing this limbo game for too much longer where they go, Oh, Galvin's not the halfback, but we're gonna keep him there until Woods is back, and like it's just tough. So, you know, whether they pull the trigger early if Conti continues to prove himself, maybe that's what they do. But um, I'm keen to see how that does develop because the four hammys um thing for for Mitch Woods, and you know, he had a couple of hammy issues last year as well, like he barely played last year, he hasn't played at all this year. I'm very keen to see how that develops. Um, who has the strongest squad for 18 boys and nationals? Um on just on paper, the the initial side that probably caught my eye the most was probably CCC. Um, Queensland obviously gonna have a really good team there as well. Um, but I thought CCC was probably the strongest on paper that I that I originally looked at. Um, you know, they've got a high quality spine. Actually, I think CIS as well. CIS has a really high quality spine. Peyton Tadow's there, um, the large uh Ashton Large, sorry, is there as well. Um Talon Rosardi. There's some very high quality players in in CIS. They they definitely caught my eye. Um, they've always got a pretty high quality team on paper, hasn't quite gone for them yet. CCC always competitive, they're always typically around that grand final mark. Um, and you know, have got another very good side as well. Like obviously, most of the Patrician Brothers Blacktown boys will be there and they're every single year fighting for national titles and state titles and stuff like that. So um CCC CIS caught my eye and Queensland as well. Um thought anyone was a bit stiff to miss out in the New South Wales CCC under 18s team. Um, I didn't really watch the trolls for this, so um I can't really speak on how the trolls went, but um what I do know is that Jet Pegram was probably a bit stiff to miss out, um, in all honesty. I rate him um from the dragons. Uh you know, maybe it is because he was from the dragons, he's probably a little bit less uh known, but um yeah, I thought he was stiff to miss out. And Tom Goodfield, another one um who I know was CCC eligible. I'm pretty sure he plays for St. Greg's and he wasn't in that lineup either. Um, both of those emissions probably surprised me a little bit. Um I'm sure there's others that I'm probably forgetting off the top of my head, but um yeah, I thought there was a couple guys there who I thought were good enough to make that side who who weren't in it. So um yeah, we'll wrap it up there. You know, a good batch of questions from the ones that I answered, but when I ask you to send in questions, don't just give me a vague thoughts on or like just a statement, then a question mark. Like it doesn't work like that. But anyway, um thanks for listening once again. We'll see you all on the next one.
