Lots to go through on this week's episode, mainly Karol Club Whirling Action, but of course as always, check out the fixtures on KarolGA.ie and keep an eye on Karol LGFA's social media pages along with Karol Comoggy's social media pages, Karol Comoggy taking on Antrim this weekend. And Karol lady's soap water is now into an honor and semi-final coming up very, very soon over the next couple of weeks. We will conform to our fixture details. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode. Hello and welcome back to the Left Room Back Podcast on a week, Kevin, at the Senior Harley Championship. Did commence. We'll also talk about the intermediate championship, which got underway as well. Karol Town Harlan Club, big results for them, of course, as they beat Rangers' intermediate team. And of course they didn't get to the Ekko Kenny League finals on. So that's the discuss, a busy week, last week, Kevin. Absolutely, we're open running and I think the games got a real intrigue, it has to be said. When you start with the Rangers, one of them was well, even if I guess we're already sorting out places with the five teams and four to come out with a five for the semi-finalist, but it's interesting because, you know, listening to Ocean Langkin and Pacoordi and James Hickey and just on the side note, fantastic to hear James Hickey and Pacoordi on the wireless. Absolute legends of our game and Karol. I worked with the boys down in KSLR, I met the phone calls going back to end, of course, I went head to credit for this, aren't I? But back in 2017, you know, I wanted to bring in fresh vices at the time in KSLR and spoke with Steve and Barnard, whatever, and Pacoordi, James Hickey and Edward Kordi were names that came to mind. And I had a couple of appearances with James Hickey, maybe going back a couple of, I'd say two years ago, possibly at this stage, there was a brief resurgence, but by and large, he hasn't been under radio, most of North has Pacoordi. So I just thought two of them were absolutely fantastic on commentary, Ocean hosted superbly, and, you know, I met us all, I believe, I knew that there was a regal game in front of us. But on the flip side of it is interesting, another guy of huge respect for obviously on my golf who did the match report for us, only I reckon like it was, you know, a little bit of shadow boxing, or maybe not that was shadow boxing, but it lacked probably the real bite of championship fever. So it's just interesting, I suppose, the two perspectives and all the people that gave the perspectives are people that we really respect, you know what I mean, on the podcast and her good friends, look at the notes and balls of this one, I knew that, I like all percent of Orleans rescue to withdraw, I think they were pretty good in the fourth half, but James Dale took over free-taking duties, Marty Cavna was absent due to injury, renders a course without Chris Nolan, I think it was Patrick among others, but not two of the big names, I guess, or three of the big names between the two teams that were missing. So yeah, let's call 214 renders St. Mullins 117, I think one of the most dramatic moments probably of the weekend or not, traumatic, maybe unusual, was in Balenkillen and Maishel, Maishel 215, Balenkillen 113 is how we've finished up. One friend of ours, Dion Wall, unfortunately, I think so, yeah, yeah, he came away with a pie on his face and I think it was an attempted back pass that Thomas Dolan evaded Dolan and went in the back of the net. Two people, or two people obviously, that we know quite well, an unnamed source basically said two gap shades. They're words now, not ours, they're words, but look, it was a big moment in the game browser, and that's a big game for both sides because Balenkillen would be looking at Maishel and looking at buying the sound of his games, and we didn't need the target of these games, which obviously is a pet peeve of mine in the championship, it should never be that way, but that's the way it is, that's the structure and that's the way you have to be thinking. So they have now lost this game, and they're staring down the barrel of Mullins' enters, who, as we said, are we without you key players? Bush, it is a Dauntin task, it's a real real Dauntin task, and Bush, historically, in games like this, OK, our enders have given Balenkillen a few treatments, but I remember their backs were to the wall as a couple of years ago, and it goes in on Arcan's time, and the reinders actually did win the game and the end was in a couple of points in it, and Balenkillen were depleted, so they have that performance in them, will deliver this weekend as well as remains to be seen. It's hard to know, just back quickly, Kev today, obviously, reinders, St Mullins draw 2-14-1-17, two goals for reinders, they mentioned Chris Noll and Fiek of his Patrick, two of those stand out for the county this year, and tough Fiek of his Patrick in particular had a real break through season, didn't he? I thought he was absolutely brilliant in the Kenny game in particular, but I suppose you mentioned Shadow Box, and how much can we learn from a game like this, it's almost like the Munster Room Robin at this stage, isn't it where, you know, like, Claire Limerick, for example, they're playing the first rounds of the Munster Hurling Championship, it's not the same as what it's going to be in the Munster Final, or for example, even further down in the year, like, you know, it's, it's, it's, what do we learn from a game like this? I don't think you learn a whole lot, I mean, you probably, what you might learn is, possibly a couple of boys coming in on the scene that we might never seen before, that's probably the big takeaway in the early stages where you're getting time into these fellas, like, and I don't think there was a massive amount of that even, and that's not taken away from anyone that did come on board or whatever, but like, there was very little of it, now we might see that in the rounds to come, you know, Rangers did use it last year to, to blow us, maybe Sean Joyce played the year before for a little while, but Sean Joyce and Michael Joyce played a good bit in the early rounds. But probably would be very happy with the point, I think so, I think so yeah, to be honest, which I don't think, like, Tommy Boogie said it to the Nationals, that Tommy's a good friend of ours, and said, like, you know, I'm happy with the point, look, when you're three points down and you get a goal in three time, you'd have to be, you know, I don't think Paul and Ryan are still upset over here, funnily enough, on over causing the mind, they don't know quite well, is a team-mate of, of Paulies, up in, in Kremlin, so, the GA world is so, it's, it's unbelievable, you know, but yeah, Dr. Happy, I think they're happy with the point each, much like, I think, broadly speaking with my, they're feeling the three teams, and the three teams are going very well, now two wins in the junior, that's their third team, two wins in the junior championship, and putting up big scores, the score, oh, it's the day at 22 against Carter Town and the first round, and the big seven ones, I think, two, 15 to 12 in the junior, and I'm hopping up and down now, but it's just broad as being- Did it feel a good factor to come up at the moment? There seems to be, and Tommy Morris is up there, and looking out, I think I said to you last week that I felt they were moving the right direction, I, I do believe in any of it, if I didn't see it, or say it, and I taught to assign to that last year, and I said, it's a very, it's a very gnome-like, you know what I mean? It's an interesting michel. Who, what you're saying is the gnome-like, now, who are the players that you're looking for? Do you share from that, I suppose, from a youth perspective coming forward, and maybe having a breakthrough season at club level? Yeah, well, I guess they, you know, as we're saying, it is a gnome-like side, Michael Nolan, as, as C'mon has seen, Colin Beck in the last couple of years, or players that have stood out, Parry Dile was hard on the other day, Parry Dile went even centre back for the Carla 20s in the fourth round, if he took bit of an injury, I missed the go-by bit of time after that, you know, he's, he's a go-by, a go-by of stuff, and look who could stay, could stay a gnome-like, well, he's got tracks he got 1-2 to the day and fairness, and like Scott might have had his critics at times with the county in fairness to him, but like he's, he's bringing that bit of experience into the club game now, and, you know, 1-2 with Tally did her day, do her thing onto the Sebo michel, and this was definitely something that came to mind under there. Now, on your brain, Tracy, and Kieran, I'd be battling for the goalkeeper in Jersey with both Carla and Avon, turn out battling for top scorer within the one. Kieran, Avi lined out with number 5 on his back that are there, and finished with 4 points for 3s, and I know it's wearing Tracy in the goal with 3 points for 3s, so they're trying for supremacy in more than one particular facet of the game, which I think is interesting. Yeah, they're building a nice squad there, look, nice blend of experience, the younger players coming through, you mentioned Brian Tracy, obviously John White didn't start the other day. Yeah, he wasn't back. I think he was at a wedding or something, I don't know how easy around this weekend for the game, but... Scott Tracy, obviously, had a good season with the county as well, and you mentioned Colin Beck, for example, who is half-bagnastin stuck, a reminder, Kev, but I suppose, look, just, I suppose, in terms of might you go forward, it seems to be a bit of a feel of good factor there at the moment, and it seems to be building something, which is good to see, because we can't just have the two every single season, content, and might you want to say, well, isn't that? You just don't want that becoming a problem, so might you obviously get off, off, off, off for the win, 2.15 to 1.13 for a bowing, killing who, it's no easy task, as you mentioned this weekend up, coming, we're getting on to the fixtures shortly, but just touching upon, obviously, binglesound, waiting in the long grass, near breed, the situation, obviously, not playing so you're hurling this year, thoughts on that, first of all, and what can we expect from binglesound, heading into this weekend? Yeah, the near-breed situation, Lucas, it's desperately disappointing to see, you know, in order, the involvement and the love I have for that love. The decision is made, there's not what we can do about it now, I guess, it is very, very disciplined, and could they have failed as a team, possibly, you know, would they have got big beatings in some of the games, probably, my own view would be where possible, it would have been better to fail, but I fully understand the decision to submit, it sounded like a politician who would get a guess, but like, I do understand why they made the call, but I probably would have went the other way and failed it. Now, lads are questioning why are they able to fail a joiner team then, right? Like, do they want hurling the day, don't they? Like, is this what they want? You know, and there was mentioned joiner in the week, and I didn't like the comments, and to be honest with you, I didn't go back at the person that said at the time, how would they let hurling joiner if they can't hurling a senior team? Well, what people may have forget is that, now, this could have changed lately, but historically, you can only regret for your players. Now, I think I might be gone to seven, I hope the correction on that. But irrespective, right, that's about 66% of never raised teams from last year senior team that actually can't hurling this year now, because they're all failing at him. So, why is the grape of hurling joiner? Like, with, with, with a junior team being filled, feeling, I suppose. If those guys aren't gonna be playing joiner, I think there's like some sort of a misunderstanding or misconception that all these guys would get to play on the joiner team. That's simply not the case. Okay, simply not the case, and we all of you would be, it's great to see him feeling the joiner team, and not only did they feel the joiner team on Sunday, they won the game, 4-13 to 2-13, and Liam Brennan deserves a shout-out, actually. Liam Brennan apparently scored a goal like DJ Carey's in the all-two honor and a final again clear. Do you remember how your ball came in? And he deflected it in after hurling. Do you remember that? Was, was that Henry who played it in? Yes. Yes, yeah, yeah. Apparently it was very akin to that. So, look, we don't want hurling to die, they're all out again, generally. Absolutely, but I suppose the question I'd have, and let's see if I'd be agree with me, I mean, you mentioned if there was a chance to feel or not to feel, look, I can't come and fully hand the situation, you know, obviously you're an airbreed man, and a proud airbreed man, but I suppose the question would be, what's the advantage of not playing senior this year? So, I think you made that point, I'd agree with you. I think it's sad to see it, and I think they need to get that right next year. Definitely, and... The other part of your question was brightnessing, wasn't it? So, they're now coming in cold. They've not had a game. In order to organize and practice games in the background, in anticipation of every opponent last week, I don't know how to get the horror game, and so I guess they are coming in somewhat at a disadvantage. The structure of the championship might help, it might be as daunting as they might think in their own minds, but... Not a simple start. Not a simple start at all now, and this is a very, very important game. So, the two senior fixtures are battling killing Rangers and my usual, brightnessing, double header, Saturday, even that much call on par, kicking off at five, but like, I suppose if we look at it from brightnessing, I was pointing to you, yeah, they've got a they've got to get a result here, I think. But if they don't, well, it seems that it's going to be, I'm not going to say this straight away, but balling killing, balling killing will be looking at a binary sound and thinking, right, we need to get a result here, but what they'll offer is a binary sound, okay, points elsewhere. Now, binary sound are very capable of getting points off of Rangers and off of every team, basically, right, full stop, especially in these early stages. It's not impossible. It's actually quite likely that they will get points, but I would think balling killing to look at it from their point of view now, or thinking, whole buying a sound lose on Saturday. Hope, well, you should keep winning, and we'll have a quarter of buying a sound for the last spot. I think that's where balling killing are at, and I don't like saying it, but I would have fears for balling killing the same as I have from the on-clock, because, you know, I know they're quite dejected to the day after that game. How do you pick yourself up then to go play the Rangers? I mean, it's not a, I think it's exactly what you're saying. It's almost like, it's running on. It's almost like the groups in the Auros, isn't it? The team's targeted in certain matches as, or even back to the John Mack, we taught, obviously, that Wexer was the game that was going to maybe possibly keep us up, but it turned out that Kilkenny nearly was the game. But, like, it's, I'd imagine banning killing it out, probably looking at, they wouldn't be looking at us, they probably are looking at that local derby, you know, to come later on in the season. I think Bagnell's down, look, this is the makings of a cracking game, and Marshall and Bagnell's down. Marshall, high in confidence. I think they're more of an athletic team now, Marshall, that they're what we've seen in the past. Bagnell's down, clearly an athletic team. Myungalad's coming through. The likes of, obviously, Jack McCullough, stand out role with the county team this year. Parry McDonald's, I think he's a player definitely to keep an eye on, and I'd say he could get plenty of goals in the championship this year. Very, very pacey. And now in Bulger, I had a super season with the county really stepped up to the plate this year. That's the one for me, to be honest with you. Yeah. Yeah, Leyl Bulger's the one for me, like, just the start of the year, you couldn't have foreseen the season he was going to have for Caro. You know, I got to go back to that game with the county in the wild scope. He was absolutely tore us under by Billy Ryan, the poor fella. And then a few months later, he goes and pulls in the upper far against the county and holds down his place. Phenomenal, Darren Olin, another great chap, like, you know, there's guys there. Oh, good athletes, Kevin. They are like, they are, they really are like, Alfie's, Alfie's still putting in his shift there as well. Do you want companion for Alfie maybe to play a part of the county still, Isha? Well, look at, yeah, I thought possibly he might have had something to offer now. He tells me the body's breaking down on, but Lake Stylar is still out to keep themselves fierce well and he's to go to a man up there. And the reality of it is, even at this point, and we've said the same for years, if Stylar doesn't hope they go to, like, I don't know, I think they start to struggle a little bit, you know, he's been, he's been doing it for years. And especially the last two or three, when chips are down, he stands up, he wins a lot of those threes that he scores, and he's bringing lads into the game and off a lot. Do you know what I mean? He still has those smarts up there and fairness, so I don't know. When Stylar and Alfie go, I'd have fears of buying the sound. I don't like saying it, but I would, but my biggest fear at the minute would be ballon killing. I would worry that they could- This is my county perspective. This is from an overall club perspective, like, for ballon killing as a club, right? If lads don't buy in and have the same level of care all around, and ballon killing just seem to be flaky to me, like, I don't like saying it, but they seem to be flaky, right? If they are not careful, they could be in a similar position to to now breed, and I'm going to make a ball shot, maybe I said in the last six podcasts, it wouldn't surprise me in the next five years if ball caratone and boron rangers are in better positions than every in Balkel. There you go. You heard of her first. I don't care if I end up looking like an agent. I'll write it down, I'll put down the date. It's actually the date me bought this, so I won't forget. Five years time, caratone and boron rangers coping about resisting every in Balkel. Give us your predictions for how the round Robin will actually play out, and he'll be in the semifinals. Well, I think renders and set ones will get there. I'd fancy might as well, to be honest, I would love to be surprised by Balon killing, but I just see a flakiness there. I don't see a consistency, but if things work out with certain weight, it might only need a couple of points to get true anywhere. They really are dependent on other results. If they can't go and get this sorted, they'd take down a big one best, but I was right there. So why don't we stand obviously heading into the weekend? I think it's going to be a cracking game between the two, but as much as you see, looking at panels, looking at even performances over the last couple of years, and how these clubs are developing, how do you think that both are capable of taking the big scallop? Are you ready to set one of this year? Yeah, they're more capable about killing the other two minutes, I think. That just seems to be the way of it, but in terms of the game, the weekend, I think it will be, I think you've called the spawner to be very fast paced game, loads of skill for hunters on both sides. Really, again, I'm looking forward to being quite honest with you. Now, the game that might still have had, and a close nature of it, probably isn't an advantage going in like I do see that as somewhat of a disadvantage for buying a sound coming into it, and I know I have to play whatever mode the game is now in the row, because they had the body in the forest round. So look, that's just the way the whole thing is, if they had a game in the forest round, they'd be playing every week like everyone else, anyway, just the whole yarn of it, you know what I mean? The body now is coming in for a team each week, which it just works out negatively for buying a sound, but if there was no body, every team is playing and just ready. Look, I personally think, and I'm not just saying this, because my buying sounds, you know, the podcast talk, I think we'll have maybe too much pace formation, particularly in the emotional back line, just looking at obviously the likes of doing cabinet, you know, Tammy Nolan in the corner, he's not getting any younger, and buying a sound do have pacey forwards, and I think this goal's in it for them. You mentioned Craig, obviously, he's not slowing down, even at his age, you know, obviously, Paddy McDonald, very, very, very, pacey, Jake Dyle as well, if he's got to play a part, yeah, so, so, so, I do. Tell you what, I like those are like, my issue, you know, a couple of lads there that are obviously on the wrong side, like, doing cabinet's brain makes up for an awful lot, I have to say, of course, you know, but like, if you look at the rest of them there from, like, I'll be able to get around the best, Kyle Tressy is actually a far away trade, the midfield battle, as we always say, is crucial, like, Ty Daley in Diego, I don't, Diego runs in the county pilot, like, he's a good bit of stuff now, and Daley is, uh, the Colin Tiger, I think, he's, he gets stuck in in the middle, like, we're about to sign up in the middle, do you know what I mean? That's, that's what I'd be interested to see, how they got our own pace, I guess they have pace in the middle tower, don't get me around, but per se, that battle, that two-on-two battle in the midfield, if it is going to be like that, how does that blow, I wonder, I'd be interested. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see Jack McCollough as CBN obvious. There's pace in the White and Half-Aurling as well. Right, Kev, um, crunch time verdict, Colin, back in the same way, she'll winza. Um, I'm going to go all the way emotional just because the, the game they've had under, under the, under the belt, but, uh, one surprisingly rare, um, but I will go all my shit, and I think Rangers probably will be ballon killing, um, and I hope I'm wrong on the fears of half of ballon killing as well, that the White-Aurling's around, like, the cloping fairness zone, I have to say, but off the field, they're doing great work at the minute. Looks go down there, lots of cool people involved, I do worry from thought a little bit. Cold, colds are the wind of the day, I think bagging some will come out on top in that, I think we'll just have too much pace in forward areas for them. And, uh, yeah, to imagine Rangers will get it done, it mightn't be flamboyant there and down a couple of lads as we mentioned already, but I'd imagine they get, get one over ballon killing there. Right, sir, Carrotown, Kev talked to us. Look, I'm just, I'm really impressed with them. I think I mentioned it last week, and I've already made the ball prediction that in five years time they'll be in a good position. Um, subject to the challenge of structure being maybe how it is at the minute, but we had often on recording and putting out this podcast because they got to McKinney generally final that played against Sam Arden's of Mucka Lea last night up in Trineen. It actually finished Sam Arden's 1-18, Carrotown 1-13. I would take a soccer point score this after half time swung that. And what you went kind of in around score for score after that, and the last by five. But for them to beat O'Lachlan Gares and get to a kind E final is a massive sign of progress, but not only that, at the weekend, for me, it was a result of the weekend. In the intermediate championship in Carrot, the fourth round of it, they beat Monos Arenders by your point. Now, Monos Arenders second team have always been very, very good, and we've said this ever times if there's an opportunity to play in the senior championship, they would trouble a lot of the teams down 30 years, right? They were really strong second team, always have. So I think for Carrotown to win that game is massive. And, you know, their juniors put up a good score again at the weekend against them, really 2-13. They put up 2-21, I think, the week previous to that. So to just strike me as a club, really move in the right direction. I think in a similar kind of tone or vein, Carrotown Egoal put up 1-14 in their fourth intermediate championship match, sensory farming of course after win the junior last year against St. Mullen's last year as champions. Now, St. Mullen's won 4-10 to 1-14, but they dare, that's good score. You know what I mean, for scamming against the reigning champions, and again St. Mullen's second team will be strong. That's all they have done there, which will bring us on to 100-point in on a minute. But like, that's, I'm really impressed with how they're moving. Would you be confident just on that though, would you be confident next year will have 16 early teams in the county? Ooh, well, I guess in order for that to happen now, I assume they're really going to really get it because of the pull-out. I assume that they might want to go back anyway, because that was their wishes, right? So that's quite a point of the fight. So, I guess the only reason or the only way we'd have six is if Carrotown or Calave were to win the intermediate championship. Now, who's the most likely out of two? It seems like Carrotown have a good chance of winning it. Like, if they're to beat Rangers and continue that form, they may have a good chance of winning it. I think they've got to be able to take Calave and he got out to win it. They might be too far off either. After that particular shown, one guy that we should have mentioned last week, which I don't think we did, is there are Roberts, he's back. There are Roberts' overseas, and now he's back playing. You know what I mean? We're killed out. And like, you know what Darl is like, she's holding against him to hold up like Darl's a fine order. He's holding me in for Balenkillum for a long time. I'm here. Absolutely, he was, yeah. And to have him back now is big. Like Nail Hickey is a fine order. Nail Hickey would walk onto that Carrotown battle and probably wouldn't be far off starting. He was almost the best-made failure. I'd say possibly was the best-made failure in the championship when he was holding for Balenkillum back in 2021, I'd say it was. So now he's there paying intermediate and absolutely largeness. Such a shame. Like, you know, when you look back, obviously, Licksicle Daven, Carrotown, native breed, you know, tree clubs that were competing. What are we saying? 10 to 15 years ago at senior level. The Raw Senior, yeah. So to see them still, and as you said to see them, actually having a team now competing in the championship is great to see in. And I think the county board though have a duty to make sure that Harlan grows in those areas. And how that happens, Kev? I'm not going to start it here, but you know, great to see that super. Yeah. I suppose two out of three are going to right to direction as well as maybe we're not after this year, but we might change. But yeah, definitely. I agree. I'm born, I have to put more rounders into that mix. Like, I talk about born rounders as if they're all in intermediate. They still have to get with junior. And they know that there's nobody knows that more than themselves. But I look with, they'll have a task because on the business end of it, like never one might lose a few players that are in intermediate team. Maybe not a whole lot. Never one of the traditionally been good that way, where they don't take and drag lads from the lower grades to kind of keep the set on whatever grade or horn that. They've won the first two junior games in setting. Never one. And born rounders have put up a big score to 27 points or something that was the week before last. So there's no God giving me for born rounders to win that junior. But once they get up over it, it wouldn't surprise me if they got a double bounce because they'd be well capable of competing in intermediate teams. It's just they can't get at the minute, they just can't get out of junior. It's not a whole thing. It's like, you know, you get the double bounce down once you do kind of break that plate of a duck. But the dominant teams like the stronger underage sides in Carlo over the past decade, by and large, have been born rounders in Cardiff Town. I'm honest, the rounders are obviously always strong, they're always going to be strong. But born rounders will inevitably have been in the final against Cardiff Town, or one of those teams will have been in the final against rounders. They're the teams driving it. So question for you, so you have to keep that sustainable. So Carlo Town in Kildavan, right? If you don't get to the final, let's let's let's just say one of them gets to a final and loses the final to a second team for Midar St. Mullins or Manchester Rangers or Magnus Town, or Maisha. Should that team still go up to play in the senior? I know we're getting into a different debate here, but like. Yeah, I got, yeah, I got where we're coming from. I would say maybe the opportunity could be afforded to them to actually enhance the senior championship very late. You know what, to bring up the teams in the senior championship, the opportunity could be afforded. Now whether they would take that opportunity or not is another thing, because they might say to themselves, well, look, we haven't been good enough to win this championship, we're, you know, we want to go up on our own terms. But maybe just to put out the other branch and say, look, that's a possibility, lads. The one sure for where to guarantee this is Cardiff Town in Kildavan, do get to the final, because one of them are going up. But I think it's a very good point, and maybe it's worth looking at. Like, I genuinely think this intermediate hurling championship is as interesting, if not more interesting, than the senior championship, from my point of view, because I don't know who of those teams in the intermediate championship, hand-on-heart is going to win it. But I have a fair idea who's probably going to win the senior, like, you know what I mean? Well, it's certain it'll be seven ones around us. I think it was seven ones last week. But I don't see anyone upset in the apple character, but with the intermediate, it is a minefield. And so that's what championship is about, isn't it? You want all these teams competing for it. And hopefully look at, I'd like to put on record as well. Like, in terms of our own point of view, like, we try cover as much as we can, but we are limited by resources. It's not playing the poor man's pauper. But I'd like for a day to be able to go to more intermediate games if we could, and maybe while I'm on it, it's not. Like, if there's anyone out there looking for an internship, or a bit of experience, whether it's doing some post-match videos for us, it's a simple love thing to do. It's only a minute after the game, record on your phones, send it over to us on WhatsApp, and we put up, and you're getting the experience over it. We're getting the work covered and, you know, pay gigs might result then later on. You know, when it's a good experience, like, you know, on, I just like to put out there, because I'm sure there's lots of kids that might have an interest. And me, sir, from Brandon, I don't know who had this conversation recently. This is important to point out. Now, sorry, I'm going off on a tangent, but I need to put it out. Like, I came to the only one, 24 days, and you say, I was looking for someone like you for a long time, you came about. So I know in that position, I need, I need the ongoing to come on board here, who's interested in this thing, to might go out to have to go into media games. That might go to the field of junior games, because they're really good games, but we just can't get over, and it's just, you know, just- Yeah, well, sir, but I'm not getting any younger, Kev, so you're going to have to get somebody younger, but look, I suppose that's kind of a wrap for this week, Kev. It was good, as I was picking up off the back of last week's results, predictions for this week and all the rest. What are you most looking forward to this week, before we finish up? What, I mean, looking forward to most this week? I think, just very simply, for me, the batter between the everyone, I'm buying his own, is what I'm interested in, and I sat there on the disorder with just anything intermediate and junior, as I said, you know, I'm standing in the media. I am looking forward to the, yeah, everyone buying this down, just to see how that pans out, and I mean, I mean, I am interested to see the balance killing have a bit of a- I do want to- We don't want to see this week as a bad beaten for either myself or myself, because you want that to be tight, you want that to be close, you want both sides. There's no fear that though, I don't think. Yeah, I don't think so, I think it'll be a tight match. You want both sides coming out of this match, regardless of the results feeling as though they have something to play for, and Karaharlon needs that, and I think that's probably- I want bar and killing, ideally, bar and killing in the same boat as boats, but anyway, look, that's rough for this week.
