Crazy scenes, but good to 58 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: see because you've got to appreciate it's been a long 59 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: time since the Dogs have been in a position like this. 60 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: And I said it on the coverage on a Sunday 61 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: ticket yesterday and some may disagree, but being a next 62 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: player at the club and witnessing it first hand, they 63 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: have the most passionate fans in the competition. I know 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: fans don't like you know, people saying that about different teams, 65 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: but witnessing it and you can see it. 66 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 2: You can see it by their reaction. 67 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 5: We've been through eight years of horrible pain, not making 68 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 5: the finals, the wooden spoons and all, so no wonder 69 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 5: they're out there and lapping or it's so good on. 70 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: The merchandise buzz you've got something for I. 71 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: Rode something in my column this morning. 72 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 5: The Bulldogs have been so successful they've run out of jerseys, boonies, 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 5: just about everything, anything blue and white, and it all 74 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 5: comes from winning. So at the beginning of the year, 75 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 5: Aaron Warburton ordered slightly more, expecting an improvement as side. 76 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 5: No one thought they'd be banging on the door for 77 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 5: the top four playing the folly they are. Peter Winn 78 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 5: hasn't got a jersey rebel. They're running out lucky. 79 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: I've got jersey early on in the what's that worth now? 80 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: Could be anything with my name on the back. 81 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: Could you sign that movie off? 82 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: I reckon? 83 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 5: If they meet, Sir George, I'll bring it in next 84 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 5: Monday night my auction. 85 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 4: Okay, beautiful, only Jersey in town. 86 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: We'll get two dollars with your favorite child. 87 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 6: Please. 88 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: What about Stephen Crichton, Now, I think he's been the 89 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: buy of the decade. I don't only think the dogs 90 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: for the dogs a state, Yeah it is. I don't 91 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: think he's just the best center in the competition. I 92 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: think he's just behind clear at the moment as the 93 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: best player in the competition. I've got clearly ahead of him. 94 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: But I had to think about this today. I just 95 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: think he's been a phenomenon, even at origin level. His 96 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: defenses is faultless. Not only faultless, it's tough. He never 97 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: gets it wrong in defense, he gives confidence to the players. 98 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Aroun anybody's twenty three captain of the Bulldogs. Taken him 99 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: from the from the shithouse to the penthouse literally, and 100 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: then yesterday comes up with three huge players with a 101 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: him on the field, they don't win. He's just been 102 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: an incredible buy, hasn't he Goody. 103 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he's got a big influence on this club. Obviously, 104 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 3: they so identified him to be a leader. They took 105 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: the captaincy off Reid Marney, which I thought was strange 106 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 3: because he looks like a quite kid. Well that panuthy 107 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: look that he's one of those guys that got his 108 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: job done. But since he's gone to the Bulldogs, he's 109 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 3: gone to another level. Watch him in State of Origin. 110 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 3: His defense on whoever he marked was absolutely the outstanding. 111 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 6: And he's leading this club even for a center. 112 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: Yep, it's the big moments for me, Like you know. 113 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: He go back to even when last year's or the 114 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Grand Final they won, when Cleary dominated the last half 115 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: and Crichton come up with that big try that really 116 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: set them up for that back end of the game 117 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: to get the win. It kind of went I noticed 118 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: a little bit. But even at Origin and even yesterday 119 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: and for the for the Dogs. Not one easy, consistent, 120 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: but he loves the big moment. 121 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 3: You've got to have a presence to be the captain 122 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: out in the center. That's a Melmninger stole captaincy right, 123 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: So Mel at Canberra with all those great players, but 124 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: he was still the leader. Didn't have to do too much, 125 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: but when he did do it was important. 126 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 5: Look, I agree with you, it's number two in the 127 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 5: game to clearing now by the decade, big statement. Trying 128 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 5: to think off the top of my head. Probably Cooper Kronk. 129 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 5: He'll be on the show a bit later, no question 130 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 5: much so. 131 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 8: They don't win the game yesterday without him. 132 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 7: And it wasn't just the tries doy scoring and the 133 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 7: way that he defends down that right edge, but when 134 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 7: the game's in the balance, he runs over to the 135 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 7: left side of the field, chases that kick, all effort, 136 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 7: makes it happen and then offloads to Josh Ado Car. 137 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 7: What's interesting as well, I think he's got a point 138 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 7: to prove. He's reveled in the leadership and Camra Torado 139 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 7: took them to an army camp over the off season 140 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 7: and to a man, all of the commandos. When Cameron 141 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 7: asked them who is the obvious leadership contender, they all 142 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 7: said it has to be this bloke. It is Stephen Crichton. 143 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 7: And I just think he's got a point to prove 144 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 7: as well. About the way that he exited Penrith. He 145 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 7: won three premierships. There, a lot of great friends there, 146 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 7: loved his time there. But I think the fact that 147 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 7: the Panthers probably didn't really fight super hard to try 148 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 7: and they just. 149 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 8: Saying Phil, he's got a pin. 150 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, but they've got a salary cap. 151 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 6: So they did. 152 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 8: Point to prove. But I think that's a big gain. 153 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 5: Accept him and we know that. But they're like every 154 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 5: club mate. You just they have won three titles straight 155 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 5: and Stephen Crichton, Matt Burton, Billy all of them have 156 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 5: had to go. 157 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 7: But he doesn't want to go. So he's got a 158 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 7: point to proof. That's my point. 159 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Sure, you mentioned Cameron serroudo and giggle, and you mentioned. 160 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 6: Having to pull you up. 161 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: He got you with the right bound. 162 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 9: It was. 163 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: All right now, Cameron serrouda where. 164 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: He's come from. He was under a lot of pressure. 165 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: He was the next biggest thing and the Bulldog's got 166 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: him he had a poor first season there and then 167 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: look like all of us were questioning whether he was 168 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: as good as what we thought or what everyone had 169 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: assumed with the work that he'd. 170 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,559 Speaker 2: Done at previous clubs. 171 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: At Penrith, boy has he delivered The game last week 172 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: against the Broncos I said was the best performance in 173 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: a very long time. To back that up payment Billmore, 174 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: to have them only two points behind your club, the 175 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: Sharks there in the top four, and they be in 176 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: the position that they are jockeying for a top four spot. Hoops, 177 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: what a season he's had as a coach. 178 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 7: We got all applauded when he was at the Panthers 179 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 7: because he was the defensive coach and they burned the 180 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 7: best defensive outfit in the game for the last three 181 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 7: or four seasons. But then last year at Canterbury Banks Down, 182 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 7: it was a horror show. I think they leaked in 183 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 7: excess of seven hundred points over the course of the season. 184 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 7: To flip that scrip now and to have them as 185 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 7: the second best defensive side in the competition. They missed 186 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 7: a lot of tackles, but it doesn't matter because their 187 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 7: effort areas. 188 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 6: System saves them. 189 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 7: That's it the system saves them. And then also if 190 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 7: you look at the individual improvement in players across the board, 191 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 7: from Jacob Preston, Bronson Sherry back into the side this 192 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 7: season right across the board. Made a brave decision around 193 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 7: Drew Hutchison. He started the year with him as halfback. 194 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 7: When that didn't work, brought Toby Sexton in. 195 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 8: Now they've won eight out of their last ten games. 196 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 5: You know what I love, guys, is that he's his 197 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 5: own man. And previously we saw the role Gus played 198 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 5: when Trent Barrett was coaching, and I know things weren't 199 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 5: working out, but there was Gust turned up the training 200 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 5: with the whistle and took recession with Anthony Griffin at Penrith, 201 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 5: Guss was very much involved. You go to a Bulldogs, 202 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 5: you don't see Gus these days. Cameron's done this just 203 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 5: so magnificently. The other bloke who does deserve credit what 204 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 5: you keep laughing? 205 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: Who the other. 206 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 5: The other bloke who does deserve a lot of credit, 207 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 5: who's done their attack this year is Jason Taylor and 208 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 5: he's worked very very closely alongside Cameron and he's got 209 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 5: that side playing really good. 210 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: For good to see you gus wrap there buzz all right. 211 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: Now the Dragons break a twenty five year who do 212 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: against the Melbourne Storm in Melbourne? And it was Shane 213 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: flanagins Man, I mean, had a great record against Melbourne 214 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: for the Kronella Sharks and he must have that template 215 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: that has success against the premiership leaders. 216 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 6: At the moment Melbourne. 217 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: What a win it was. 218 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 3: Why the Dragon's got absolutely I said twenty five years 219 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: Sue was that absolutely outstanding? Sloan, the young guy you 220 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: got dropped back to reserve grade last week. I thought 221 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: he had a great game of ben Hunt too. He 222 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: looked tired come out of coming out of state of origin. 223 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: And the Dragons they just keep on turning up. There's 224 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: no doubt that they're fitter. So Shane Flanagan's got them fitter. 225 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: There's a bit more steel in the jersey and they're 226 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: competing really hard on every play like they've got beaten 227 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: this year at times and look pretty ordinary, but they're 228 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: building nicely. 229 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 5: I've got him the reject shop in today's paper and 230 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 5: that well you go through their footy side and there 231 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 5: it is there, the red reject shop. 232 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: Half the players. 233 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 10: That's so good that heading that well, I don't go there, 234 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 10: but you go through that football side and half of 235 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 10: that team were unwanted at their previous clubs. 236 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 5: There's two players in that side he didn't want to 237 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 5: be there, Ben Hunt and Zach Lomax. And they've pulled 238 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 5: together misfits, cast offfs you know what, and they're a 239 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 5: dead set top eight chance and it's great coaching. 240 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right, Buzz. 241 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 7: It is definitely an example of good coaching because again 242 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 7: you go back to last season and they had all 243 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 7: sorts of issues, had to part ways with Anthony Griffin, 244 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 7: but Shane Flanagan went in over the course the summer, 245 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 7: changed the way that they trained, made some other significant 246 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 7: changes around the club. I think did he build a 247 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 7: new gym, Buzz or was that at the Shark Now? 248 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 7: I think he did build a new one with the 249 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 7: He helped build a new one with the Dragons as well. 250 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 7: They now train out of Klogra and also Woollongong, so 251 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 7: he's trying to make it more all encompassing the Dragons identity. 252 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 8: This game on. 253 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 7: Saturday night, on Super Saturday, it will be an absolute exclusive, 254 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 7: so it's already sold out. I can't wait to see 255 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 7: the Dragons, Red v Army and the Bulldog Army in 256 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 7: full flight. 257 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: You know, if there's one set of fans that will 258 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: take on the Bulldogs, it's. 259 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: The Dragons fans. 260 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: As I said, it is live and exclusive on Fox Flee. 261 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: You can only see it right here seven point thirty 262 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: five p m. 263 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 4: Or do you don't really want to move this to Alliance? 264 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 6: Do you gen know what we're talking off? And this 265 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 6: game is so big? 266 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: And then it's right, Dragon's fans get the first right 267 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 3: to buy the tickets. 268 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 6: Why would we want to lock out? Right? Seriously? Thirty 269 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 6: thousand fans? Sure? Right, So I reckon commercially, you got 270 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 6: till Friday. 271 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: Commercially Friday, and Bulldogs if you want to turn up, 272 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: you've got Saturday because it's their home game. 273 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 5: Commercially, you make a good point. I spoke around Walburt 274 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 5: before the show. Now, the Bulldogs struggled to break even 275 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 5: that game yesterday, as much as it was the most 276 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 5: fantastic setting and theater. If that game yesterday had been 277 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 5: paid at a call where you don't need the security, 278 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 5: there's more corporate sweets, they would have made nearly half 279 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,479 Speaker 5: a million dollars. 280 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,239 Speaker 4: They made three Cords. 281 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 5: A million when they hosted South this year. So as 282 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 5: much as we love suburban ground rugby league, it is 283 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 5: not commercially held out. 284 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 6: And there's romance. 285 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: And I played at Cogor one of my favorite grounds, 286 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: Cogor Oval, and they deserve that. 287 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 6: And they're going to get the home of Crown. 288 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 7: Taking tribalism in those scenes Saturday, and so would all 289 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 7: the supporters who turned up and celebrated in the streets afterwards. 290 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 7: I get it, but it can't always be about the 291 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 7: corporate dollar. Sometimes it's also got to be about the fan. 292 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: Sure, all right, let's move on now. Corey hawesbra could 293 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: be heading to the Dragons. What's going on here down 294 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: in Canberrall. 295 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: It's the issue. 296 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 4: Buzz I wrote the story late last week. 297 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 5: His manager, Jeff Jarrott approached the canber Raiders and asked 298 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 5: for release. He's had a really unsettled season. He's been 299 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 5: suspended a couple of times, he has had injury problems 300 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 5: and he hasn't I think he's paid two or three 301 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 5: first grade games. 302 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 4: There's been some sort of falling out. 303 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 6: With Richie Stewart. 304 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 5: I think there's been a communication breakdown there and I 305 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 5: think the club will offer him that release. He's very 306 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 5: keen to go to Saint George. He admires Shane Flannigan. 307 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 5: He played junior reps junior Kangaroos with Carl Flanagan Handy 308 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 5: Ford in his day. But he's got to get himself 309 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 5: right and off a bit more than what he has 310 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 5: done in the national capitol. 311 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 7: I think you're right, definitely right about the communication breakdown. 312 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 7: Buzz I spoke to Sticky a little bit earlier. He said, 313 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 7: it's not correct that they're not speaking at all at 314 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 7: the moment. That's come from his manager. But he did 315 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 7: say when I said, well, look, what do you expect 316 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 7: from him? Where's this issue going to go from here? 317 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 7: He said, look, I expect that every player will live 318 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 7: up to the standards of being a raider, So read 319 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 7: into that what you will. 320 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 6: To me. 321 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 7: It seemed as though, to Buzz's point, there's obviously a 322 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 7: bit going on there, and it sounds as though they 323 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 7: will be parting ways. 324 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: Okay, another story that you broke today, barz Casey Badger 325 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: band from all of Southinny Rabbitos games because her partner Gavett, 326 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: is working for the South Indy Rabbit is that right? 327 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, Look, this is a remarkable story in the history 328 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 5: of the game. I can't recall a referee being banned 329 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 5: from handling an NRL club. But what happened, and it 330 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 5: caught the NRL by surprise. Gavin Badger was sitting in 331 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 5: the box working for Ben Hornby at Shark Park the 332 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 5: other night and guess who was the bunker. 333 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 4: Badger was in the bunk there. 334 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 5: It is there, So there was absolutely no question of 335 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 5: Casey Badger's professionalism. 336 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 4: Or her integrity. 337 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 5: But they don't want a perception issue or something as 338 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 5: awkward fair enough as what might happen if Souse got 339 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 5: a fifty to fifty call or but I've never heard 340 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: of it happened before. 341 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 7: I can't recall a match official referee ever being bad 342 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 7: from being able to referee a particular club. 343 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 5: So there's a touch judge refereeing bunker no more Souse. 344 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no suggestion that would go wrong 345 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: with it. 346 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: But I think it's just I think it's the right call. 347 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't need the noise around, you don't need 348 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: people giving an excuse for people to have a bit 349 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: of a crack too. 350 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 8: You know, it's the optics of. 351 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 6: Going. 352 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 3: If there was a fifty to fifty decision and South 353 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 3: Sydney got it, some fans to blow up. Yeah, a 354 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 3: bit like Origin when you get all the fifty to fifties. 355 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 4: Buzz, I can't Why can't you get over it? I 356 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 4: get over it. You're nine in a row. 357 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 6: I don't bring that. 358 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 4: We put up with it for a long time. 359 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 6: Get over it. Sorry for having an opinion. 360 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: I want to say, Buzz, you are breaking stories left, 361 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: right and center. 362 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 4: But I'm doing my best trying to stay relevant. 363 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: Well, you're doing a good job of it. 364 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: But now the Bronco shock loss to the Titans are 365 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: I suppose it was a shock the loss, but it 366 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: was more how they lost thirty six points in that 367 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: second half was an embarrassment to the club. The bumbling 368 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: Broncos they're calling them at the moment. It is a 369 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: shock playing for their lives, survival, trying to be undefeated all. 370 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: The way in and try and make the finals. 371 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: And their little brother they used to be called, gave 372 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: him a hiding. 373 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: What's going on with the Broncos? 374 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 6: Bete? 375 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 3: If it was the terrific Titans, I thought they were 376 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: fantastic in the second half story. I think there's a 377 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: fair bit going on just with the injuries, with what's happened. 378 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 3: I think Vegas, I think paying has with his off field. 379 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 6: I think there's just a lot. 380 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: I think there's just that can't be an excuse for 381 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: thirty six points in the second half. 382 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: Coward. 383 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 3: I just think that they're too young. Like then, I 384 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 3: was there, I watched it live, and I think that 385 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: a lot of the twenty two year olds haven't done 386 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: the hard work. 387 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 6: Greath right, seriously, and you need leadership. 388 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: And you need the old bloke there to pull you 389 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: along and give you a little bit of a chip. 390 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 6: And it actually looked like a really young side out 391 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,239 Speaker 6: there in the second half. That's to me, just watching it. 392 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: I spoke off the pace. 393 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 5: I spoke their CEO Dave Donahey today and asked him 394 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 5: to put to bed rumors that Adam Reynolds's captaincy might 395 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 5: be in doubt and Kevin Walder's future and insisted on 396 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 5: both of them that they'll be in their same Brols 397 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 5: next year. What was interesting he said, there'll be a 398 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 5: full review, which they do at the end of every year, 399 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 5: but it will particularly focus on the way they post 400 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 5: Grand Final last year, and you know the addule we've 401 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 5: spoken about before, and the fact that a few of 402 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 5: the boys weren't used to, you know, coping with all 403 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 5: the pats on the back, and. 404 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 6: No doubt like those bulldog scens. 405 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: You said, grand final, they get like a thousand people 406 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: to a training session, right, and that was reserved for 407 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 3: semi finals, finals or like really big game. So so yeah, 408 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: they do get do they walk around like rock stars? 409 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 3: I don't see it, Like every time I see them, 410 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: they stop, you know, like they don't walk around to 411 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 3: you other kids, like they didn't know that I was 412 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: there some days, like when I just go to sit 413 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: and watch and you see what happens. But yeah, of 414 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 3: course I think, and I said on the show, the 415 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: more someone patched you on the back, the softer you get. 416 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 3: Right when I come into the game, and I was twenty, 417 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 3: I was working on a Hearstville council on the whip, 418 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 3: so I was getting. 419 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 6: Put on me. 420 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: I can't stand the perception because yes, they're very confident 421 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: in these kids, like we're all it isn't. 422 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: I think they're more lovus. I see they're Louis. 423 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: The tiny handbags and stuff and they're painted nails and yeah, 424 00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: that's that's. 425 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: All good and well when you when you know you're flying. 426 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: But there is a bit of a perception there, you know, 427 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: and in their performances they're not backing it up. 428 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 2: They're really not. 429 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: And you know that they there are a big club, 430 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: they're a successful club, they're a powerhouse. 431 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: They've got a big fan base. 432 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: All those fans rock up, like you said, Gordy every 433 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: week and they're just not it's just not good enough. 434 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 2: But we critical of everyone else. 435 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: And then you talk about the Dolphins, you talk about 436 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: the Titans, Well, you know we've got the Souse and 437 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: your Rabbit and Sydney Roosters down either the powerhouses and 438 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: we when they don't perform, we hit hammer and ask 439 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: questions about them as well. They they've got something to 440 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: answer for this year because they've got a good roster. 441 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: I know they've had injuries, but it's just not good enough. 442 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 7: There's no question the Grand Final hangover as now burners 443 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 7: exposed as being a huge contributing factor. And to your 444 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 7: point about are they rock stars, Look, i've heard that. Yeah, 445 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 7: some of the young blokes at the moment they probably 446 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 7: have got a little bit too much swagger and they're 447 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 7: not focused enough on what their profession is, which is 448 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 7: winning football games, and that's been laid bare as they've 449 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 7: gone on this losing run. It's nice to hear from 450 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 7: Dave donnahe buzz. We haven't seen or heard from him 451 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 7: much lately, so that's refreshing when he picked up well, 452 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 7: that's refreshing that he's I haven't seen him in front 453 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 7: of the cameras or anything, but that's refreshing that he's 454 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 7: back Kevy and that they're going to support Kevin. There 455 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 7: will be some changes to their coaching staff next season, 456 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 7: so Ben too will come in. I think in all 457 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 7: likelihood Trent Barrett also goes there. But you go to 458 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 7: that game on the weekend and that ball that Reese 459 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 7: whilsh through the Coryo it's here's this blow up here 460 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 7: on the field. I think that's symptomatic of the Broncos 461 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 7: this season is. 462 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 8: It's been a ride off. 463 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 5: I don't think Reese has got any right to talk 464 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 5: to him, who's been around as long as Corey oates. 465 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 5: As much as it's frustrating, I just think it's a 466 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 5: bad look. Why is that, Oh, because Corey has been 467 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 5: around for so long. 468 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 3: And you know, let me tell you something. The first 469 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: of the game, Carmichael Hunt played. He was seventeen, a 470 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 3: school kid. He bossed us around. He told Shane Webky 471 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 3: the movies whatever over there. So mate, you want them 472 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: to talk, you want. 473 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 5: Like the abuse players, mate, But sometimes on the spot's great. 474 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 6: Do you know what? 475 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 3: We always bag him when they walk off and they 476 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 3: smile after a loss and they get and. 477 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 5: They himself is Reese himself has been playing way below. 478 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 2: He's absolutely and we talked about Brighton. 479 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 5: Being number two player in the game behind Cleary last 480 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 5: year Reese Walsh was and he's dropped out in my 481 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 5: view of the top ten. He hasn't backed it up 482 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 5: from the Grand Final. And I think they celebrated too hard. 483 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 6: They did. 484 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 4: They didn't have as hard an off seasons they probably 485 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 4: should have. And you know that's the way it goes. 486 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: It's wrong. 487 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 8: I'll help you buzz that pass. What was recent fault there? Gordon? 488 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 8: To look, it looked like the whole past. 489 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 6: The whole close. 490 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 3: But you're supposed to catch I mean you are supposed 491 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 3: to catch those. But yeah, probably the blob was a 492 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: little bit hard corey Corey should have just held onto 493 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: the ball and the pass was one of those where 494 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 3: it's a fifty to fifty. But it's frustration or what 495 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: line he was supposed to run, whether he's supposed to 496 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: get We don't know what played acord because there's a 497 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 3: bloke at the back as well. 498 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 5: I reckon, if a kid gave you a spray when 499 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 5: you were playing, you wouldn't have you know, copped it. 500 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 6: No, but I'm not a waker. 501 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 11: It doesn't matter whether your wing or not. He's been 502 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 11: around for listen, can I tell you something right? This 503 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 11: is like this is Alan Lang used to tell you 504 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 11: to get off the field. Alan Lan would say, get 505 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 11: him off. I know which one's worse, right, you're standing 506 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 11: there behind the line and he would tell the trainer. 507 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 3: So we had to get told off. 508 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 5: Had a gold pass from the number of games he'd 509 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 5: played in the fact he was a captain. 510 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's about well it doesn't ye, No, 511 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 3: I get it. 512 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 6: It's not a great look. 513 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: But what do you want You want him smile and 514 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: then laughing or do you want him to chip each 515 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 3: other on the run? And if your close breath, have 516 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 3: you ever sprayed one of your teammates. 517 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: Of course, of course it just does happen, but Spray 518 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: his team makes. 519 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 2: Want to be a dazzy and of the Titans. 520 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: The Titans, and you mentioned at the start we have 521 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: focused here on the Broncos for good reason, but the Titans. 522 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: Desi's gone in there and he's sacrificed the lot. He's 523 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: taken a few steps backwards like most great coaches do, 524 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: because he needs to make significant change, which is what 525 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: you need to do when you get to a club 526 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, not just players, but in 527 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: terms of where you want this team, this club to be, 528 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: the visions that you have and Desi took few steps 529 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: back and we all doubted it at the start of the 530 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: year and now he's absolutely got them fly I want 531 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: to turn around it. 532 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 3: Well, maybe it must have been a bigger job than 533 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 3: what he first thought when he've got there. No Aj 534 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 3: Brimson for a lot of the year and no Tina, 535 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 3: so there's two experienced players. But I reckon the last 536 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: eight weeks of footy, they're starting, they get it, they're 537 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 3: getting into a grind and the Titans, dare I say 538 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 3: you haven't been able to say it for a long 539 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 3: time but they've got some resilience, like they've got some 540 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: fight and they're not going away. 541 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: You played them the first few weeks it was like 542 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 5: getting a bye. That's how bad they. 543 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 4: Were, you know. 544 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 5: But she's pulled them together great and it's so exciting. 545 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 5: Where does C. J. 546 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 4: Brimpton play next? 547 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 6: A J. 548 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 4: Brimpton? Where does he play? 549 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 3: I think he could play centers. I think the way 550 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 3: Kinney's taken we said. 551 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 5: At the start of the year wouldn't get enough for 552 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 5: all there they are so strong. 553 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 3: Well, the kid's going great, so you don't drop him. 554 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 3: And then Campbell's put his ego in his pocket. He's 555 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 3: going to six. Sometimes you've got to do what the 556 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 3: team needs. He actually looks like a genuine six. 557 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 7: I think I love that story because of what his 558 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 7: old man achieved in that jumper as well on a 559 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 7: premiership with Penrith.
