Gus thinks Dylan Edwards is the man for the job: Six Tackles with Gus - Ep15 | NRL on Nine

Gus gets ahold of an exclusive NSW bonding schedule for Origin, and recaps the upsets of Round 12. He also shares his thoughts on the strong Maroons line-up with specialist bench player Selwyn Cobbo. Gus is worried that the Blues' lack of coverage on the bench is too big a risk and that Dylan Edwards is the obvious choice for New South Wales' fullback. Finally he pitches a bold move for the Tigers in #ASKGUS, and gives us a preview of Round 13.

[@eYeVeeML]

Yeah, I could listen to Gus’ podcast every day.👍🏽

[@MrJdeeze]

You should watch Gus on bloke in bar podcast if you haven’t already. Gus is so important to Rugby League. The haters have no idea

[@josheee6123]

I actually did for a while a couple of years ago 😂😂. Went back through the whole episode list. I just enjoy listening to the vast knowledge of the subject it's fascinating. Absolutely a treasure

[@coreyjohnston9195]

Would rather Matt not being there but I agree

[@s035034]

Love how the host just lets Gus go where his mind takes him, a great listen

[@andrewwright6898]

As a Maroon, the only thing that worries me is the comparative lack of size in the front row. Tino, for example, would never take a backward step, and he's solid. But he's out. But I defer to Billy. He's been there and done it. Any doubts I might have, I know Billy has more experience, more ability, more RL intelligence , than me, and he'll have a plan. And that's ok.

[@rodlewis3942]

Burton can play every position from 1 to 7 - why wouldn’t you use him as cover?

[@sloppygoo]

Because nsw don’t get origin 😂

[@rodlewis3942]

Burton HAS to be in the 17!

[@Carlix_nt]

NSW massive favourites!!! Qld for the win!

[@someoneunseen5168]

Qld are bookies favourites. Not underdogs this year.

[@sloppygoo]

@@someoneunseen5168yeah first time ever I believe. Qld did that streak as underdogs bc NSW had a legendary generation of forwards (and qld have 8% of nrl players nsw 83%)

[@Fqithh]

nice to see you guys mentioned warriors win in the round 12 recap.... how can you not speak on that game when the warriors are missing 10 starters and still get the W

[@Sillydools]

It’s not that deep bro

[@Fqithh]

@@Sillydools it really is

[@txddyfarquh3916]

Dont be silly.... ​@@Sillydools

[@abdul_grizzley]

Gus how are ya

[@danielvermeer3363]

Madge has picked backs that don't really get injuries

[@sloppygoo]

It’s HIAs they’re concerned about more than injuries. Anyone can get a HIA you have no control over it if someone tackles you bad

[@user-zx8ik6ed9r]

I’d be happy to listen to you guys every day of the week.

[@Mahatheyew]

NSW number 7 sat out training today. Great start guys. WD on another series win QLD.

[@jtamou]

Mind games

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

Two props, three locks, no backs on the bench, a half with a calf, I dunno about the blues.

[@rodlewis3942]

Burton should replace Nicko if he can’t train..

[@Tyrese6652]

Locks n props basically play the same position

[@joshuajack9403]

I could listen to Gus everyday💪🏾💯

[@LeeXhaf]

Gus is brilliant ain’t he

[@andrewtalbot1881]

And his memory of what club/person did stuff when just boggles the mind! I'll be queuing up for his next book

[@michaelolofsson8558]

Gus is right, we are 100% underdogs.

[@Roxyrocko]

Can anyone remember which podcast it was where Gus was talking about the team doc being a gyno? 😂

[@seanprice8442]

Last season sometime. Can't remember specifics but it was definitely last season.

[@nniranjan90]

Awesome call gus doing the game 1 review!

[@GodlyCarnage]

My favourite show of the week. Close 2nd is joey and Freddy's shows

[@normanmoffatt9707]

Ever notice the glow that comes on Gus's face when he talks origin.

[@LeeXhaf]

Matt’s good too I reckon

[@sloppygoo]

I reckon he’s a lot smarter than he lets on too. Very good communicator and knows when to hold his tongue and let others speak. I’m often critical but Matt kills it

[@miok8262]

As a QLDer I’m glad Teddy wasn’t picked.

[@50NewEyes]

Gus gets it…

[@okusfayreno8599]

Aye Gus bread 🍞 doing unk

[@trevorchapman5014]

100km hike ohh jeez, that’s hectic

[@hoggers7572]

The Blue Mountains are amazing btw ..what a boofhead this guy is

[@sloppygoo]

I’m just jumping on with the other comments to remind Matt how good he is at his job as a host. Asks great questions for interesting chats, knows when not to speak, active listener, humble. We can all be more like Matt

[@thestoicwhinger]

I saw enough from the Sharks against Melbourne and the Roosters to know that they've got what it takes. They were caught with their pants down against a very determined very good Panthers team, and it only takes 5-10% drop in focus to get done

[@darkstars-torpedoes-of-truth]

The gummy sharks

[@mikemm9827]

While panthers perform for Penrith they having been losing origin for the past 4 years

[@aussiefarmer4955]

NSW won the series 2021.

[@Leakynine]

No Penrith front row though..Thats Penriths true power. Look at the Kiwi team with Penriths front row. NSW gets smashed in the forwards, backs dont get room.

[@whatagup4799]

​@Leakynine nsw forwards are better then Penriths

[@alexanderletzing6705]

Leota and JFH are hard to replicate even at Origin level tbf

[@OldPanther]

​@whatagup4799 Leota and Fish has been the best big game front row in the game.

[@internetcommenter6145]

If Matt Thompson has 1 fan, it’s me. If he has zero fans, then I am dead!

[@hwm2024]

Round 12 recap? Like reviewing one game. Sort it out guys

[@kevinknight1924]

How does Trindal get back in the side after being found guilty of drink driving unlicensed unregistered car ???? Nothing from the NRL no penalty.

[@fadetoblackyoutube]

He has 5 days to respond to NRL can play until the 5 days are up

[@bluesfor]

Keep up. He's sat out 5 weeks by his club and been served a breach notice.

[@04bcha]

Is saying origin has the best players disrespectful to the Kiwis...?

[@chevizak6945]

As a kiwi supporter. No it isn't.

[@user-fe1vx1we4e]

It is said that Edwards is sore after training in the camp and teddy is in stand by but as a man who respects teddy i really hope teddy denies tha call and let maguire deal with another fullback.

[@davidcork1317]

Knew blood gotta try something different. Set them free Gus, don't over think it.

[@murphyhook4633]

Doin gussy, qld for the sweep 🤠🤠

[@icmull]

What this is basically the expected team. Other than Robson.

[@Conrad-kj5pq]

Love Cus

[@internetcommenter6145]

Gus, how are you brother?

[@lokylock2287]

Pretty simple in conno situation, someone gets hurt he fills in they dont he slots in at 13 he can ball play and he's been taking winger hit ups got ages now he'll be more then okay out there. Sua'ali'i gonna be letting so many tries

[@alannroussell4767]

17:22 Get on board

[@Aza13]

Wing best 14 all time!

[@gcdragon2558]

So the Blues go to the Blue Mountains. Reeks a bit...Billy taking his boys to the great barrier reef then?

[@petermcgrath6260]

I think its Gus's way of saying, good luck Madge you have f//ded up!

[@SkeletorsSon]

Gus is a Penrith Fkwit. Teddy is the proven reliable FB and leader while Edwards already needs a tampon in his first camp due to a calf strain 😂

[@wayne9080]

It's going to be a Great Game!!! QUEENSLANDER!!!

[@xpsylentzer_8039]

Luai at 7 Burton at 6

[@CaptainBax]

We all know NSW are going to target Reese and Cobbo can cover him.

[@davidcork1317]

Seriously Phil you are over thinking. That's the difference.

[@vipapornnuchprapa9827]

❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@bluesfor]

Matt Thompson is the worst sports broadcaster on both radio and TV that I have heard in the last 50 years. Total amateur.

[@DezzyD-yz7gk]

Gus is teddy atlas Gus is the teddy atlas of the rugby league 🤓

[@bradglawson4395]

NSW backline has no pace what happens when the hammer and Reece Walsh make breaks downhill who gunna rush them down

[@DanielVerran]

Years ago when i was playing footy NSW had it all over QLD most of the time,marroons have had an awesome run but it doesn't last forever, unfortunately nothing does...
