'It's Mitchell Moses' position to lose': Immortal backs Blues shake up 04:40

Let's bring in Andrew Johns, the eighth immortal, who was racing yesterday with our great mate Peter Basaldas. Hello, Joey. Hello, boys. How are you? How are the races, mate? Could not back a winner. Could not back a winner.

Back to about five seconds as usual. But, yeah, do it responsibly. How'd Salty go with you? Was he a good wingman? Would you classify him as a wingman or what would you do? Hard-running back rower. LAUGHTER He was good, Salty. He's a good bloke. But, no, he wasn't stumbling or wobbling. There was no HIA, unfortunately. LAUGHTER

What a great preparation for his call today. Out with the eighth for a day at the races. Sorry, then he sounds like John Laws. The naked wild turkey. What about the Savo, mate? Panthers and Manly. Thankfully the sun's out. We should have a big crowd for what will be a good game. I can't believe that Manly are outsiders in this one. Considering the players, they're

They've got out Penrith, Talon May, Nathan Cleary, Liam Mahn, Dylan Edwards, all these players. Last week against the Dragons, the second half, they just got rolled. Manly's nearly full strength. So I think I'm tipping Manly. I think Manly will win. What about the Manly side so far this year, Joey? They've had six wins, I think, from the 12 games. Have you liked what you've seen? Yeah, in patches. In patches, they're a bit up and down. But when it sticks, especially in the day, they're a better team in the day because they like to use the ball and

Jeez, the halfback, Daley Cherry, he just keeps getting better and better. I saw him downstairs. He's 35. I said, mate, you could play until you're 38 or even longer.

Because I can't remember, he's had no major lower leg injuries or... I wouldn't think so, no. Mate, he's just durable. He's a super player. I mean, you remember the early days when he started playing for Queensland, they were all bagging him. Yeah, they were all off him, yeah. They were off him, and then he turned them around by playing pretty good, and he's been there probably a decade since, and he's just a superstar. What a player he is. Well, the other night, he was the best player on the field by a mile. He just... Jeez, he played well. Hurts to say. Mm-hmm.

Anyway. Brainy. Brainy. Hello. Brainy. I was just watching Joey. He went for Daryl's donuts. Did you see that? He did not. He had a good chop at the donuts there. Did you touch those donuts? You're not a good advertiser. I am. At least I paid for these ones. Where's my card?

Joey, I did want to ask you, this time of year the footy's kind of funny, juggling origin, commitments, players backing up. They have got a few backing up, Manly. That could be tough for them. Yeah, look, people talk about backing up. Once you're on the field, it can be a bit of a drag leading into it. Once you're on the field, you're sweet. I think we make too much of the backing up, especially if you're playing the halves. You're not getting beaten up too much. I can understand if you're playing in the middle or...

playing at hooker and you're making 50 tackles. But once you're out there, your adrenaline's running. I think they make it too big a thing.

than what it is. And then after the game, you have three or four days off and you're fine. One last one on origin. I know you spoke on the footy show today. Changes, potential changes for New South Wales. What are you doing with the team if you're the coach? Well, the Trell's the first bloke picked. They've just got to pick him. They've got to pick him at left centre and then Stephen Crichton on the right. He's a good player, Stephen Crichton. Obviously, Nico's going to be under all sorts of pressure. I think it's Mitchell Moses' position to lose over the next couple of weeks. And then if you pick...

Moses, Diego combination, and you think Game 3 last year, Moses and Cody Walker went really well. Cody got me in the match. Diego, them two, even Jake Trebrojic, is Jake under pressure? I don't know what happened with the rotation of the bench, but... He's got to be under pressure. He's got to be. He was off for about 50-odd minutes. So...

The one I keep talking about is does my head in. What's Victor Radley doing playing for the Poms? Like, honestly, if you've got him and Payne Haas and Cameron Murray in the middle out there rotating, playing huge minutes, and Victor's made for Origin. I just wish he was available. Where's your head at, Victor? I think he wants to be a Queenslander, though.

He's in English. How dare you? He's a bomb. Anyway. We'll pick him. Doesn't matter. Good to see you, Joey. Good calling the Savo, mate. Yep. There he is. Andrew Jones. What about the enthusiasm? Joey. Joey. He's got his booklet. He's got all my notes on it. What do you mean notes? You've never done notes in your 20 years working on this show. Hub. Which one? Something hub.

Not that one. And YouTube either.
