WEBVTT - ROUND 24 PREVIEW: PANTHERS V ROOSTERS. Sam Walker's contract gamble goes to the biggest stage 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:07.520 Looking to the Code NRL show. 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.480 Here we are boys, another week of great rugby league headlines. 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.720 I think before we start we just have to pull 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.439 the curtains back a little bit. This is almost a 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:18.640 nogo the podcast. 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:20.200 Are you saying because Dave was sick? 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.480 Because you've saved the day, mate, You've saved the day? 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:29.760 Wield influence some construction work going on in Touchwood News 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.880 Limited again News Limited h Q. 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.120 I went and head hunted them and told them, guys, 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.639 the most important podcast at Code Sports, in fact at 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.320 news Corps, one of the highest rating podcasts on rugby 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.120 league in the world. 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:45.320 In the world. 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.000 Can you just give us a bit of peace? And 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:53.840 the banging stopped? Bang, it doesn't start again, because that's 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.480 what it was like. It was like that. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.240 It was more drilling and hammering than. 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:04.520 Drilling, really thrilling. You would know what a drill sounds like. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:12.720 Aither of you off with you any day? 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:13.200 Really? 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.200 Yes, I used to work on the truck. I'm not 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.440 gonna lawyer. Worked on a truck doing. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.880 What delivered goods for pizza? 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.200 Like again, what's that got to do with it? 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.240 So you're a driver. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.000 Just just to unload the truck. When I was at UNI. 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:28.800 What's that's hard labor. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.440 Buddy, what's that going to do with having a trade? 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.160 Let's rip into a rugby league. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.240 Yet another week of drama, particularly down in the nation's capital. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:41.040 Corey Halls bro Ricky Stewart makes his feelings clear in 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.160 a post match press conference and from there it's gone 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:45.440 effectively south. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:45.800 Yeah. 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.880 I think it was already headed that direction, Dave. This 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.200 has been brewined for a little while. They had given 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:54.080 Corey permission to negotiate with rival clubs or a couple 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.160 of weeks ago now before this incident, and Ricky just 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.240 looked like a guy that was fed up. All right, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.680 this is not a nice feels an isolated incident. I'd say, well, 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:07.000 that's completely over the top, right, But this has been simmering. Yeah, 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.400 I think Ricky has just had a loss to try 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.919 and we'll get the best out of Corey. So there'll 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.120 be a natural parton of the ways with him taking 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.720 up a three year deal to join the Bears. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.399 I was going to say, you said gone south, because 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.800 it's actually gone west, because that's where Corey's gone. Corey's 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:20.600 ended up going. 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.120 Well, how did you contain yourself? That's a good line, 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.080 wasn't it? But how did you contain? 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.840 Allow you to have? You say? Because I do that? 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.800 How other people are talking? Then I come in with 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.080 the pearls. Right, So it's gone west, baby hasn't gone south. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.360 And I think it's a great result for Corey. It 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.440 feels like mixed right. They just need a clean break 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.280 from each other, right, because there's been times when Ricky's 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.720 got the best out of Corey and it's worked, but 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.320 inevitably they've always ended up button heads because it's like 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.160 oil and water. Right, it's a bit like you and 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.040 me on this podcast. The things don't it just doesn't 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.440 work like water, right. So that's what's happened at the end, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.320 and it's gone to w A And I think I 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:01.720 think it'd be a great signing for them. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.320 I like it as a signing. Good player, yeah, best, 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:06.119 he's a good football. 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.920 You look at that starting front row now, Liam Harry, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.040 Corey haws Bro much better, got a bit much better. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.239 I think it's a good front row pair and I 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.120 think they've done well to get that deals obviously. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.520 Long they don't end up in the sin bin every game. Okay, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.200 it's a bit loose, he's a bit mad. I like 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:23.840 his madness. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.480 I like I like it. I think that's a good 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.200 front row pair and I think you take that if 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.120 you're the Perth Bears, and you know they flirted and 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.000 you know went with try to sign Junior Parlor, and 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.200 I think Corey Hawes Brough at this stage of their careers, 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:37.280 is a better signing for him. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.760 I actually think it's really important they've got the front 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.920 row is so important in the game now. Was seeing 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.080 that in the way the salaries of props of skyrocketed, right, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.520 there's a real value of premium on good front rowers, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.320 good guys who can win the forward battle for you. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.640 As you said, I think that's a combo that helps 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.200 them on that front. They've got some other holes and 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.000 areas are going to fill, we know that, but I 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.839 think it's a they're starting to put together at least 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.360 the team that's going to be reasonably competitive, right, So 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:05.680 that's important. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.400 For August Corey Hawes brother good signs to their fort. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.600 Do you think Corey has played his last game for Camera? 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.960 No, no, no, no. I think you'll play again. I 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.280 think you'll play. Josh Pop's got his last game coming 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.160 up week or so. When two weeks, two weeks maybe, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.440 I think I would imagine you're playing that game. They've 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.359 had a long relationship over a long time, and I 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:33.160 think I think you'll play again the Camera. It's at 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.080 least one more game. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.000 We lost for it. Like Camera, you look at the 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.640 middle that they've lost over the last couple of years. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.479 Obviously Trey Mooney, Corey Hawes, bro Josh Propo, it's a 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:42.160 blow for him. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.320 Uncertainly Hudson youngering around. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.680 As well, so it's a yeah, it's a tough there's 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.760 a tough situation for Canberra in terms of that that 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.280 Ford pack, Joy tipe and is obviously outstanding. No Martin, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.640 Hudson Young on either edge, and the song it's it's 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.440 played sound up a back roll. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:01.840 So they've got some kids coming through. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.560 David picked up lip Boy hot Boy from the Dogs 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.560 as a younger forward. Joe Roddy is one they have 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.000 a lot of time for. Yeah, but you're right, let's 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.040 talk about Hudson Young. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.240 How does this pan out? 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.520 Look? I mean, Sam's agent's going down to Camp Canberra 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.760 for the Brisbane game. So in about a week's time, 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.040 some meat talks with Don Ferner. I think about that. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.880 Those two talks. Sam says to Don that Hudson would 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.040 like to explore P and G, explore the possibility of 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.960 going there. I would imagine Camber will open a small 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.359 window for him to go to P and G and 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:45.599 have a look around, and then hudsonall be armed with 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.400 all the information he needs to make a decision. That's 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.000 how I think it plays out date. I don't know 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.000 where it lands right, I don't know how he whether 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.919 he goes to P engine enjoys himself, everyone at the 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.880 moment he goes there seems to sign for them. So 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.720 if he if he actually besides he wants to explore 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.599 that option, I'd be concerned. If I'm a camera fan. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.200 Big he would be a huge blow. Huge blow. But 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.720 that's a good camera will put in a huge offer 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.280 to keep him. Yeah, so and they feel like they're 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.120 probably the only side that they could potentially lose him 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.200 to is to P and G. But yeah, you can't 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.440 from Canberra and you lose Huts and Young off the 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.720 back of Hawsebra off the back of Trey Mooney, off 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.080 the back it's they're blows to your forward pack for 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.000 players that still have a tremendous amount of foot he's 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.560 still in them, so, uh you know, I know I 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.080 mentioned before Noel Martin's a really good player, and he's 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.520 going to be an outstanding NRL player. You've got, you know, 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.880 ideally Sims Song on an edge, so it's not the 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.359 worst back row of combination with. But yeah, Huts and 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.239 Young's elite. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.560 Regardless of where he lands. Huts and Young, he's going 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.080 to be a very well paid young man. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:55.400 Yeah. 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.400 I mean, if he stays in camera, he's gonna be 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.479 earning over a million dollars a year. He goes to 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:00.680 P and G. We all know how that. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.520 Works, it'd be the highest paid back on the game. 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.240 Yeah, it's going to evolve, right, I mean, this is 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.159 how much more that's about them? 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.280 Well, Sel wants one point too. 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.320 That's if you're paying Hudson Young. I think Cameras offered 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.560 around eight fifty nine hundred. With a ratchet, right, that'll 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.080 end up one one, one two. Potentially, someone was obviously 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.120 looking at one two. I would imagine wants to ratchet 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:26.760 that as well. If you're West Tigers. I've said it before, 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.480 I wouldn't someone is a really good play, he's young. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.320 It's going to be a long time. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.520 Let's be wind a little bit. Someone I find is 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.720 asking for one point, that's it. That's the suggestion a season. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:43.040 Yeah, you haven't picked up on that's the My response 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:44.680 is your response too, I'm the same. 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.440 I'd be saying good luck, Yeah, you go on the market. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.360 But this is why, Mick, this is with the West Tigers. 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.760 This was the decision we need to let your own 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.360 go early from next season that we can use that 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.280 money to keep the asking price of Sam Weller. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.120 Find it, you don't have to pay it. 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.320 Well, the West Tigers have gone on the record and 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.160 so we're going to do everything possible to keep Sam 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.320 Weller final and lat. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.280 Yeah, but whatever possible doesn't mean you go. I'll give 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:14.160 you whatever he wants. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:15.200 I'm not saying that. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.280 Let's look at the back rollers that had been like 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:20.200 that are on the market. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.200 Yep. Jacob Preston, he'll probably end up with about eight 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:24.120 hundred with a ratchet. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:24.840 Talis Duncan. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:25.920 I don't think he's worth that. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.200 You don't think Jake Preston's worth eight hundred with a 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:29.920 ratchet in the market. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.920 He is just WA's Talis Duncan probably end up. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.160 Seven eight hundred. Ratchet nine with the ratchet. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:37.559 Are we saying Sam Well? 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:39.280 No, we're not saying it. 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.120 No, we're not saying management. I never said one point 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.720 to me in that's the claim that that cannot be right. Well, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:46.360 maybe it's not. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.880 You know, he's management are thick that cannot be right, 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.320 very thick with this is what we're here. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.000 That makes some calls me ring right now. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.840 I'm not ringing anyone right now. One point, what's you. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.959 What's your cap? What's your limit on SMI you reckon? 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.959 See no less scaling up? 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.760 He's twenty two, yep, all right, a five years deal. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.440 I'm scaling up to a mill I'm not starting there. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.360 He's behind Dylan Lucas who just resigned. I'm sure Dylan 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.040 Lucas didn't resign for a million dollars. That's a young 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:25.160 Jacob Preston Talas Duncan Britney correct? 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.480 Do you have him behind Talis dunk? I reckon, I'd 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:28.760 have him. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.080 I'd have him just because of the consistency of Sam 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.559 Well is a great twenty two, great player. I would 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.160 love to sign him right like, I'm not giving him 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.319 a million dollars one point two. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.400 Let's got a play out let's se how that plays. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.040 Are you guys? 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.240 No, no, no, And I hope the Tigers don't feel 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.640 like the Tigers don't get as I said, hell. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.920 Over, this is a monster game tonight, Fellas Panthers Roosters, 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:00.640 it's a Grand final. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:01.800 Preview declaring it. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.240 Yeah, he said, my bulldog only two? 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.880 What about your wars uh wars and sharkies can get there? 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.720 Yeah? Hey what am i am? I going out on 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.240 a limon say there's a potential Grand Final? 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.679 You said you didn't say potentially, you said it is ad. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.000 I'm back and dave in because finally, this is what 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.280 is what I predicted in the preseason Pends Roosters. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.360 That's almost to guarantee it won't happened. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:31.240 The Sharks might lose a game. Again about that game. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.199 Okayna. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:36.800 Quick quick change the subject tonight. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.160 This is not changing the subject on the coast you 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.760 We're sticking it tonight. Your Sharks annoyed me, but they 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.760 Dragon smashed them. But just when you think it's safe 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.960 to say something good about Cronella and they dish up 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.120 that rubbish. I'm off them. They cannot win the camp. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.120 Tonight's game tonight, It's game. 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.080 Huge massive game, massive games. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:07.520 I think it's a shame to heed you need something. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.040 I would say it's a huge game for me, a 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.200 huge game for the US. 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.880 I'm disappointed to desk is not playing. 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.400 Yeah, yeah, but I think it's a huge game for 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:15.400 the russ Yeah. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.080 I don't think they can win without James. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.240 I don't think they've been that good. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.679 Let's yeah, it's both missing a big but. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.960 I understand all this. Penrith can win the camp without 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.080 his I the Roosters cannot win the camp. 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.520 With that matter of fact, what you're saying, you've never 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.760 seen it, what pen Y. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.200 Yeah, but they can. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:35.880 Because they can. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.040 Well, they got Nathan in the in the game, You've 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.360 got him in the Grand Final. Yeah, so that means 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.760 they can win it. I've got I've got your coming back. Well, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.960 they still have to get to the ground final without him. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.200 We could come back before then, could be back for 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.720 the past. I think it's a huge game. I think 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.720 it's a bigger game tonight for the Roosters than just 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.439 for Penrith because the Roosters record against penstylebolical, one of 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.680 their last thirteen. Sammy Walker's gone go into the game 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.839 under immense scrutiny and pressure after rejecting the contract offer 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.840 huge pressure on the rooster. Yeah, they need to perform. 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.560 And this is this is the fascination with this timing 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.280 of the story dropping that management don't want to get 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.600 this deal done right now. The thing is and mate, 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.800 good luck to the Roosters if they win tonight, but 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.079 if they lose and then they lose again next week 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.479 and whatever happened, like if they get on this rush 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.000 of all. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.080 Focus will come on seeing him. 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.920 It's all on Sam. This whole, this whole end of 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:33.000 season watch is on Sam Walker. He determines his value now. Yeah, 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.920 he's taking it out of everyone else's hands, placed it 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.760 in his hands. He determines how much he's worth now. 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.680 He's a confident. I don't think it will affect him 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.000 because he's that sort of guy, pretty unflappable, doesn't get 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.199 phased by much. I don't think it worries him. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.359 But as Dave said, might work in the roosters. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.079 Could work and the Ruster, well, this is I think 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.120 this is what It also could work against them. 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.000 It cannot work against it because if he wins them 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.200 a comp he's one of my comp. 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:01.560 Goes through the roof. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.600 They've got to pay a lot more money for the camp. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.040 But I'm talking in relation to what they've got to 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.560 pay him, not in relation to whether they win the compro. 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.240 This is about the deal are trying to get done 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:13.800 with Sam and the fact they can't get it done 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.679 at the moment, at the price level they wanted. That 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.680 he wins a camp, his price level goes. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:19.480 And it deserves to go. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:20.720 Yeah, but it goes up. 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:21.160 It does so. 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.560 In the but it also goes up for the buying 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:26.120 club too. 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.080 What do you mean if he leaves? If he leaves, 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:29.640 of course. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.160 That's right, so everyone's on the same But I'm. 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.000 Sure there's club's out there now. He'd probably gives Sam 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.080 huge money. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:39.800 Right now, taking them Rubbish about. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.520 Sam needing to prove himself a big games? Did you 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.320 watch him in Origin this year? The first two Games 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.400 of Origin? He was unbelievable. Sam's got nothing to prove 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:48.040 in big games? 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:48.760 Yes he does. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.440 I don't think he does. I think that's rubbish. 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.760 He does why because he needs to lead his side 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:54.600 to a Grand Final. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.000 He's shown he can perform in big games. Are you 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.320 saying it's all on Sam Walker? Okay, He's basically saying 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.840 if they don't win the Grand finals, Sam Walkers. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:06.920 To prove in big games. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:08.679 Of course he does. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.199 He wasn't done at a club. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.160 Level, No, but that's Sam's done it. In big games 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:14.720 He's won too. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:15.880 He's won one Origin game. 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.360 He's played well in two games he played. He's played 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:21.360 well in two Origin games. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.240 How many games he's won Origin to go back, that's 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:25.520 how games Origin He's one. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:26.840 Okay, but you're just saying he didn't play well in 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.000 Origin mine, but he's won one Origin game. He's played 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.880 well in two Origin games. They should have won the 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.200 first one. If there wasn't a sad enough McCallum ponger, 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:35.800 they should have won the series. He probably would have 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.960 won the Wall Medal. Right, So he played well in 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.200 two Origin games, and he's played well in big games. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.200 And didn't play well in Game three when the series 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.600 of them, none of them did. I'm just this is 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.440 not Sam Walker hate. This is still smells like it's 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.400 definitely not. It's still no, it's definitely not. He's an 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.000 elite half back. He's one of the top halves in 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:53.320 the game. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.440 You just said he's got something to prove, though, how 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.120 can you say that if he's saying he's got something 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:58.680 to prove, saying he's the lead half, one of the 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.520 best salves in the game. If you consider that, now, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:05.880 what's he got to prove? Have ever saying are already 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:06.440 at that level? 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:06.680 Yeah? 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.760 But is at the bottom of that level. Wins a comp, 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.680 he'd be top two half in the game, top three 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:11.280 half in the game. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:18.280 If he never wins a camp, he's twenty three or 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:19.080 twenty two, or. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.480 He never wins a comp. Has he been worth the 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:22.600 money that you're talking about? 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.760 One the one talking about the money his management's talking about. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.080 We're actually not that far off in what we think 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:29.440 he's worth. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.800 Three's No, I agree. I'm just arguing he doesn't meaning 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.720 to proven big games. I think he's shown he can 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.240 get it done in big games. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.400 I think I think the Roisters have reservations about. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:40.400 That too, understand they do. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.480 I think Guided bombed out the most recent final series. 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.680 Well, he came back from a knee recoont play. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.200 And for a young half, you're not going to be 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.080 in a better situation than which I have been at 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:56.960 the Roosters with Kiri Tedesco. And then you've got d 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.160 C there now so it's a pretty good existence for 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.680 a young half. Yeah, he's a great environment for him. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.000 I don't agree. 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.840 I think i'd find it stunning if you lose. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.080 I don't think. I don't think he leaves at all. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.040 I think it's all the big dance. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.760 Well, I actually quite like it because, as I said, 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.600 the values now in his hands goes out dominates the price. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.200 So good tonight against Nathan Cleary tonight. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.880 Yeah, I do a matchup for him? Is that against 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:26.280 the Gun? 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.000 Are you tipping in this one? Fellas? 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.200 Yeah, it's Penrith without Teddy. 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.880 I'd probably still tip Penrith, would you? But without Teddy 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:39.440 he's got a bit. 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.400 Of a psychological grip on the room. Yeah. 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.440 Well Penrith got that lot with everyone except Melbourne. To 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.520 be honest, this is a cracking weekend of footy, fellas, 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.880 But there's one on Sunday afternoon. It's the final game 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.080 of the entire round. The West Tiger is a back 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.480 after a buye. I think my male is they put 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.480 their feet up a little bit. So we'll see if 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.320 if a mental re fresh away from football has helped 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.720 the West Tigers against the Saint George La Horrors side 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.120 that played. Look, it was their grand final last week 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.960 against Coronella that terrific. Haimis Stewart's a gun. I want 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:17.520 to ask you a question, Fellows West Tigers, Dragons. Who's 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:18.600 got the most upside? 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.080 Easy? Easy? 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:22.200 Not even close? 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:22.879 Dragons? 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.680 Yeah, I think that fifty to fifty on the weekend right, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.399 Like the Dragons aren't certain is to win, but Dragons 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.240 will finish ahead of the Tigers on the ladder next year. 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:31.760 Lock it in. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.840 And it's not even where we're coming from on the 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.440 basis of recruitment. 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.080 Just not recruitment, just development of players. We've seen how 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.919 their young players have come on this year, and plus 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.680
