If it's out of your control, then to not stress, to not give it, you know, a second thought.
Kaya SelbyHOST
Toa Samoa will be without Canberra Raiders' Simi Sasagi at the Rugby League World Cup in Australia.
Kaya SelbyHOST
The twenty-five-year-old has undergone shoulder surgery and will miss the tournament.
Kaya SelbyHOST
The Canberra Raiders say the centre-back rower has played throughout the season with a severe shoulder issue.
Kaya SelbyHOST
Sasagi has earlier stated he would delay the surgery to be able to play for Toa Samoa.
Kaya SelbyHOST
And the Papua New Guinea Rugby Union is hopeful ongoing discussions with Oceania Rugby would see them readmitted into the World Rugby fold.
Kaya SelbyHOST
PNG Rugby was suspended in September of twenty twenty-four over breaches of its tournament obligations, governance and financial non-compliance.
Sally ButesHOST
All right, starting up with a Raiders story from page 34 today, Simi's heartbreaking World Cup move by David Pokinghorn.
Sally ButesHOST
If there was ever any doubt Simi Sasagi was fully committed to the Canberra Raiders, there isn't any more.
Sally ButesHOST
Sasagi has given up his World Cup dream to be ready for the Green Machines' 2027 season.
Sally ButesHOST
The 25-year-old had surgery on his left shoulder on Tuesday, ruling him out of the Rugby League World Cup, which begins in five weeks on October 15th.
James HooperHOST
One thing Ricky's a genius at over the course of the past five seasons is picking the best young talent in the game.
James HooperHOST
So he's gone and got – Kaio Weeks, right? Simi Sasagi, no one really saw.
James HooperHOST
He's kicked on.
James HooperHOST
Timiko's finished up playing test football for New Zealand.
TimPANELIST
So I think the Raiders get up here.
TimPANELIST
And I think Simi Sasagi will score.
TimPANELIST
And I think Noah Martin will score.
Chad TownsendHOST
Yeah, Sasangi.
TurtlesHOST
I think he is going to need to try.
TurtlesHOST
He's probably, if you're looking at this Raiders pack, Including the forwards, I reckon Simi Sasagi outscores everyone.
TurtlesHOST
He's going to be the top scorer for them.
TurtlesHOST
And...
TurtlesHOST
I feel like he's going to feed Simisasagi some good ball.
TurtlesHOST
and he's probably just going to drag one or two tries, will be that involved.
TurtlesHOST
Because Simi Sasagi is a very physical player, and Perju is a very, very small center.
TurtlesHOST
Perju's great for his speed, but as a physical body putting a hit on someone, he's very small.
BrentonHOST
Cowboys and Raiders, for Cowboys, no relevant changes that you need to worry about.
BrentonHOST
For the Raiders, Simi Sasagi's named.
BrentonHOST
That was not on my bingo card for this week.
BrentonHOST
Kobe Black's also getting a week in first grade.
43 MINS LATER
BrentonHOST
And I think it's like, yeah, you can probably do that a little bit more at the start of the season or mid-season, but at the back end of the season, all these players are running around battered and bruised, carrying some form of niggle.
BrentonHOST
They're not going to perform the same way as they were at the start.
BrentonHOST
Look at Simi Sasagi, I guess, is another option there.
BrentonHOST
Um, so it's worth being patient and missing out on that potential 10, 15 points here or there to then start making actually these, these ranks or getting these price rises from the guys that you need to with a plan to trade out to be a final team.
Matt RixGUEST
And I'm going to leave it run.
Matt RixGUEST
I've just discovered that Simi Sasagi's real name is actually Nathaniel.
CMacPANELIST
He's
Matt RixGUEST
Nathaniel Simi Sasagi.
Matt RixGUEST
So,
JonoHOST
yeah, just a little tidbit to end the pod on tonight, Jono.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Only one more game in Round 27 for the Raiders, uh, with his hamstring.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, in terms of Simi Sasagi, had questions about him.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, look, uh, like R- Ricky left the door open after the game on the weekend and said they're gonna discuss it over the next week and decide whether to, uh, book those surgeries, those postseason surgeries.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Are they gonna do it early? So hopefully, uh, one of the journos or someone who has Raiders hookups, I'll, uh, uh, yeah, one of the, one of the lovely hosts of Beers and Breakevens can figure that out for us.
Walson CarlosHOST
Allegedly.
Tim WilliamsHOST
Allegedly.
Walson CarlosHOST
And Simi Sasagi, another interesting one.
Tim WilliamsHOST
Yeah.
Josh ReynoldsHOST
Good call
Matt BungardHOST
... a guy who is an out and out back ro- back rower who had to play center, but kinda like Simi Sasagi this year.
Matt BungardHOST
Both of them have really just-
Josh ReynoldsHOST
Mm
MattGUEST
...
MattGUEST
this is very important if you own Simi Sasagi or not.
MattGUEST
If he has not gone for surgery, I think that we've got to expect that maybe he's gonna show up next week.
MattGUEST
Um, is he okay to sell still? I think so.
MattGUEST
He is obscene.
MattGUEST
What a player.
John O'SheaHOST
You know who most wants to find out if Simi Sasagi's gone for surgery? It's Jackson Purdue, who doesn't have to tackle him next week.
MattGUEST
