Okay, why are running the support? 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 3: Make sure you're flat with him and he shows the 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 3: past when you're accelet into the whole. 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 4: The eighth and last slot in the twenty twenty four 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 4: NRL Finals comes down to this, the very last competition 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 4: game of the season. 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: I'm ready, let's go. 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 5: I'm ready. 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 4: All the training, the sweat, heartache and heroes all down 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 4: to an eighty minute test. A test thirty four players 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 4: of a couple of coaches at different ends of their careers, 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 4: and these contrasting armies of fans, one blue, the other red, 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 4: just like Fords and Holden's. He gets the chicken flan. 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 6: You need to ask yourself in my that guy that's 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 6: getting towed along or more actually driving the standards of 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 6: Monday morning. 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 4: Come four o'clock Sunday, it's the Knights and the Dolphins, 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 4: and it's anyone's guest, great great Kaylon Ponger and Bradman Best. 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: What a name?

A whole season going down to 32 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 4: the wire. 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,919 Speaker 2: Right here on Fox LEU. 34 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to three sixty I believe from every angle, brought 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: to you by NIV.

If they can 45 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 3: upstage Cronella at four points, well, all of a sudden 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: they secure a home semi final, so a lot to 47 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: play for and then Sunday. Cannot wait for that four 48 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: o'clock game. Mick can Wayne Bennett steer the Dolphins and 49 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: make history by getting them into their first eleven finals. 50 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, it should be an absolute crack of the so 51 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 8: many subplots to that game. You've got Daniel Seffiti will 52 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 8: he be at the Dolphins next year. You've got Calem 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 8: Ponger and his meeting with Wayne Bennett to try to 54 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 8: get him to the Dolphins a couple of years ago. 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 8: And then you've got Wayne Bennett returning to Newcastle. It 56 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 8: should be an awesome, awesome. 57 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 6: Day standing remainly, wouldn't it be for both of those games? 58 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 6: So yeah, look, it's it's intriguing. I just like the 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 6: Knights in that one. I think the Dolphins were up 60 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 6: really high last week. 61 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: Well, the Seagulls, as I mentioned, take on the Sharks 62 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: and Tom Jaboevitch won't play with that AC injury. Now 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: his coach Sea Bowl has come out, and see he'll 64 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: be fine. I've had an AC injury, as have a 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: lot of rugby league players past and present. I think 66 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: he'll be fine, probably won't be one hundred percent throughout 67 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: the final series, A bit close to it. You guys 68 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: heard anything out of the camp You're worried about Tom 69 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: at all? 70 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: I think he'll be okay, Braith, based on the fact 71 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 3: that it was his right shoulder where he's done. He's 72 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: been getting his left a sea joint needled all season. Okay, 73 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: so it's not unfamiliar territory. I think given what Tommy 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: means to the Manly Seagulls, we all saw and had 75 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: raised an eyebrow out that yarn a couple of weeks 76 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: ago about how we wanted to give money back to 77 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 3: the club because of all the games that he's missed. 78 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: It's September, it's a big end of season final. Tommy's 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: going to want to play. 80 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 7: Yeah. 81 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 8: I speake to him on Saturday, and there's plenty of 82 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 8: times when you speak to Tommy after you know what's 83 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 8: been familiar through injuries. He wasn't worried at all whatsoever, 84 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 8: you know, and he's been down this path with injuries. 85 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 8: He said one hundred percent I'll be their week one 86 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 8: of the finals. I'm not even the slightest bit worried. 87 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 8: And that theme hasn't changed about the week with the 88 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 8: Manly officials. 89 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 6: Well, it's good news because no Tommy, no trophy. That's true, 90 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 6: He's so important. A couple of we see against the 91 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 6: West Tigers. The school would have been worse if he 92 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 6: didn't play. But that's good news. 93 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: If you're a man, if the Grand Finals this week, 94 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: you could play absolutely injury. 95 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: So that's just to give the viewers. 96 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: I suppose an idea if it was a Grand follow 97 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: this week ac joint. You need it up, You get 98 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: out there, you don't feel it, but it hurts that night, 99 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: the next day and the day after that. Now is 100 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: a defining moment and defining defining final series for Nick o'heinz. 101 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: We spoke abou him last night on the show. 102 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: Has I hate to say it, but really has failed 103 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: to deliver him in big games in his career. I 104 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: think he would admit that, and it's probably something that 105 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: he wants to get the monkey off his back and 106 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: this Final series is an opportunity for. 107 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: Him to do that. 108 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a stigma around Nick, and the stigma around 109 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 8: the Sharks really about their inability to to win games, 110 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 8: win big games. I haven't won the Finals games since 111 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 8: Shane Flanagan was coach at the club and that's a 112 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 8: long time ago. Now it all comes back down to 113 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 8: their number seven and his ability to steer him around 114 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 8: the park. 115 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 9: He's the marquee man, he's the million dollar player. 116 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 8: If they bounce out in straight sets again, the scrutiny 117 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 8: is going to be even tighter next year. 118 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 3: I agree with Cooper Cronk's take in that when you're 119 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: a million dollar player and you are paid to win 120 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 3: these big end of season games, it doesn't matter if 121 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: you've missed the past eight weeks. This is your time 122 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: to deliver. So it is huge. 123 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: It's a game with Dave Rickyovin. 124 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 3: I didn't agree with Dave no I do disagree with 125 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: I do disagree with his tape from last night. Well, 126 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: Nick goes on big day right, and he was signed 127 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 3: as their marquee man off the back of winning Adali 128 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: and medal. This is his time to shine now. Your 129 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: playmakers are the ones you often near. The great coaches 130 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 3: say the halfbacks own the result a lot of the time, 131 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 3: and this is a time when they need to deliver. 132 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: So the heat is on Nik and we know that 133 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: over the course of the cast past couple of seasons, 134 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 3: when he has some setbacks, he can get a little 135 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: bit of head noise, and he does, he can go 136 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: into his shell. He certainly appeared there against the Warriors 137 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: last one. 138 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: It's like he just needs that one game, Gord. We've 139 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: all been there. I mean I've been there myself as 140 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: a half where he's just struggling to get over the 141 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: line in big games and it adds up, It builds 142 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: up in your head, you put more pressure on yourself. 143 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: It becomes a thing. The media talk about it, and 144 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: it really is a distraction. There's no denying that. You 145 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: can't escape it. The only way to get rid of 146 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: it is to perform on the biggest stage under the 147 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: most pressure. 148 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: But it only takes one game. 149 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 6: If I was talking to him, I'd say, don't worry 150 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 6: about the outcome, just worry about the next player. And 151 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 6: I think with Nico, you know, I think it's fair 152 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 6: criticism because if a forward pack gets bullied, we call 153 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 6: him soft and they're not good enough and they're not 154 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 6: big enough or whatever. And with a halfback, you're there 155 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 6: to make decisions. We all look to our halves in 156 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 6: the toughest times, just to put a little kick in, 157 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 6: you know, turn a good set into a great set, 158 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 6: or a pull set into a good set. And he's 159 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 6: yet to deliver. And I think it's the baggage that 160 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 6: he carries. So he's going to have to go into 161 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 6: this final series and not worry about what's going to 162 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 6: be written about him. 163 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: Well, that's what you get paid for, is as big moments, 164 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: and I seen him as a half. 165 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: Now. 166 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: The next game is the Knights taking on the new 167 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: car Sorry the Dolphins. 168 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: This is a big game. We know why. 169 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: Here it is Sunday, four pm right here on Fox. 170 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: League is the race four eighth position. We spoke about 171 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: briefly last night. Affussi facing the judiciary. We both thought 172 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: that we thought he should get off, and he did. 173 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. I was shocked though that he. 174 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: Got off, given the season that we've had, the rulings 175 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: that we've had, Gordy, But this is justice. 176 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 6: Do you think or I just put myself and that 177 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 6: if I got three weeks or two weeks or missed 178 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 6: like the last game for the Dolphins because of that 179 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 6: tackle and that collision and that bump, I'd be I 180 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 6: would lose like a little bit of hope for the. 181 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: Game that there wasn't much in that. There wasn't much 182 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: in it. 183 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: Thank god, sanity prevailed Gordy and it was a win 184 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: for the good guys. We all watched that and we 185 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: called it immediately when we're watching replays of it on 186 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: the Sunday after the game, it was way over the 187 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: top that all of a sudden, Police gets rubbed out 188 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: of not only the Dolphins' final regular season game, but 189 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: also week one of the finals should they kick on 190 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: in September. So it's tough going down to NRL Judiciary 191 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: headquarters and taking on the Match Review Committee and the 192 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 3: Judiciary Panel. Over the course of the last eight months, 193 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: I think they've done a great job in tidying that 194 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 3: element of the game up. But I think in the 195 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: Police case, it was the right result. 196 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 8: I think it was barely a penalty, let alone a suspension, 197 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 8: let alone the mission a muscling game credit when it's due. 198 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: That was a good decision. 199 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: Now Wayne's bad blood with the Knights, Paul Crawley spoke 200 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: about last night. I think Buzz may have touched on 201 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: it the night before. 202 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: Is it real? 203 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: Does it exist? Are we're expecting fireworks? 204 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: Well, I think you've got to get the periscope out 205 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: a little bit to see that far backwards. Like, yes, 206 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 3: Wayne didn't leave the Knights on great terms. He still 207 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: had twelve months to run on his contract, but he 208 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: also took him to a preliminary final and that's as 209 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: close as they've been to a Grand Final since Joey Johnson. 210 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 3: Danny Badiros won him a competition, So I think you've 211 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: got to give him credit. 212 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: Gordy. 213 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: I know you said you think the Dolphins emotionally would 214 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: have spent a lot of energy last Saturday, and I 215 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 3: think they'll be up for this context. I love the 216 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 3: changes that he made and the fact that he was 217 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 3: able to get an immediate result out of the playing group, 218 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: and I think they're a big shot. I think it 219 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: was an upset. 220 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 6: I think if anybody's going to be fired up, it's 221 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 6: Calm Ponger. When Wayne told him to grow up, and 222 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 6: last year he did. He grew up as a footy party. 223 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 6: He put Newcastle on his back and last Sunday he 224 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 6: did the same again. So that's the challenge to stop 225 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 6: this guy. Anytime he got space, he was dangerous. He 226 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 6: was creating numbers and good luck to the Dolphins. 227 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm with Hoops. 228 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 8: I don't think there's the bad blood doesn't exist between 229 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 8: the current playing group and ad miniut rates the fans though, 230 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 8: haven't forgotten the way Wayne left and there's no doubt. 231 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 8: You know, he goes to the Dragons, or he goes 232 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 8: to South Sydney or returns to the Broncos and he 233 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 8: gets a standing ovation. I don't think it's going to 234 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 8: be the same from the Knight's Faithful on Sunday. 235 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 3: It's real amongst the old boys, certainly a lot of 236 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 3: the old boys from the period that Wayne spent at 237 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 3: the Nights, there is some genuine bad blood. They felt 238 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 3: as though he rolled into town promised a lot, But 239 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: it wasn't only Wayne's doing. Nathan Tinkler was also the 240 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: owner of the club at that time, and he broke 241 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: a lot of promises, promised a lot and essentially delivered 242 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: the dog year of the Atlas. So there's a lot 243 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: of layers to it. 244 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: I think what's been underestimated with this game too, is 245 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: the Dolphins can create history and get to the finals 246 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: for the first time. I don't think too many people 247 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: have really spoken about that too much. This is really 248 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: significant in the history of the club. They've only just 249 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: come in last year. 250 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 6: That's splain Bennett effect. It is right like it's playing 251 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 6: like playing it down. He'll put all the pressure on himself. 252 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 6: He's happy that it's even Verst Newcastle. That's that's his 253 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 6: master plane. There's no pressure on the Dolphins. It's the 254 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 6: biggest game in their short club's history. And I know 255 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 6: they've been around for over seventy five years, but this 256 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 6: is the biggest game for him. 257 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: On to the next one. 258 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: Now, Latrell Mitchell's been rejected or not. This was interesting 259 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: throughout the day. We've got sold that he had been 260 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: rejected clearance to play by the NRL this weekend for 261 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: the South Side Rabbits, which would have been his one 262 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: match suspension served this season. As the day went on 263 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: we heard that the NERL hadn't actually rejected it yet. 264 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: Where are we at with this? 265 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: This is an old fashioned Donnie Brook between South Sydney 266 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: officials and also NRL headquarters and you can't tiptoe around it. 267 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 3: In one corner you got Blake Solly and in the 268 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: other corner you got Andrew Abdau. And the reality is 269 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 3: these two cannot cop each other. If they were to 270 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: across paths, they may exchange some sort of very small pleasantries, 271 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: but the dislike hatred may be too strong a word, 272 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 3: but it is genuine and Souths were quick to brief 273 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: a lot of people around town today that absolutely Latrell. 274 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 3: The NRL had rejected their application for Latrell's suspension to 275 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 3: be served this weekend. But then the NRL came out 276 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 3: later in the day and said, hold on a minute now, 277 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: we've just requested further information out of the rabbit Os. 278 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 3: But the bad blood is genuine and it's in the right. 279 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: So the game. 280 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: I think the game needs to stand up and make 281 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 3: a stand for something. And I could understand why if 282 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: they said no, the band is to be served next year. 283 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: That's our ruling where they're governing body. But South's are 284 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,479 Speaker 3: jumping around all over the place. 285 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: Making such a big deal out of this. 286 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they think, and we've said it the last month, right, 287 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: why don't they just take accountability for one of their 288 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: player's actions. 289 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: Teach him a lesson. 290 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: He'll live, he'll learn, he'll benefit from it. Serve game one. 291 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: Start next year. It's one game. It's not your season, 292 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: it's one game. I don't understand why they're fighting so 293 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: hard for this. 294 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 3: Well, you said from the get go a couple of 295 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 3: weeks ago that they were taking the piss if they 296 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 3: were going to after the coach Ben Hornby had already 297 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: told us Latrell's season is finished. Then all of a sudden, 298 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 3: Oh no, actually they start backgrounding people. Now he's actually 299 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: been okay for the last couple of weeks, and now 300 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 3: he is actually a chance of playing this weekend. To 301 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: your point, and to the question breath, look, they're not 302 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 3: prepared to accept accountability. I think it's multi layered. I 303 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 3: think it's political, the fact that NRL headquarters and South 304 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 3: Sydney do not see why they're often trying to shoot 305 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: bullets at one another over various issues within the game, 306 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 3: and Latrell in this instance has just become a. 307 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: Number of times. Yeah, correct, Mick, You've got some good 308 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: information for us. 309 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a lot to unpack you. So the NRL 310 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 8: have rejected pending further information. That further information is an 311 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 8: independent trainer to come out and assess Latrell and to 312 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 8: look at his training loads over the past couple of weeks. 313 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 8: This is on top of the fact that South Signior 314 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 8: provided three doctors clearance for Latrell to play this weekend, 315 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 8: two independent and one the club's medico. One of the 316 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 8: doctors was the doctor that operated on Latrell and he's 317 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 8: cleared him to play this week. So South Sydney as 318 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 8: we went to air, were yet to go back to 319 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 8: the NROL with if they'll provide more information. South went 320 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 8: back to the NRAL and said, well, if you're not 321 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 8: going to if you're going to make him serve the 322 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 8: band next week, let's let him line up this weekend. 323 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 9: Let him play. 324 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 6: So that's common sense because the doctor said, yeah, you're 325 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 6: cleared to play, right, So the break or what it's fine. 326 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 6: But then the train has got to come in because 327 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 6: you've had to have a workload. You've had to if 328 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 6: you're going to run out a million dollar player like 329 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 6: you don't run out a million dollar horse on Saturday. 330 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 6: If he hasn't done anything, he's a chance of breaking down. 331 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 8: He was never going to play in this game given 332 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 8: the fact they were out of finals contention. If they 333 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 8: were in finals can if they were, if they were 334 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 8: in finals contention, they would have managed his workload a 335 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 8: lot differently the training load. If they look at the 336 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 8: training load, there's no way his training load is anywhere 337 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 8: near the capacity to play an NRL game because they 338 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 8: haven't had a tailored program to get him right. But 339 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 8: then saus will say, well, you know, what's to stop 340 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 8: him from playing ten minutes? 341 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 9: What's the what? 342 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: What? What? 343 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 9: What is the time? 344 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 8: What is I think originally should have said he's served 345 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 8: the band next year, but they've given Southseting an opportunity 346 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 8: here because of the rules, and because of they said, well, 347 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 8: if he's past medically fit, and I think with three 348 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 8: doctors given the advice that he's medically fit, he should 349 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 8: serve the band this weekend. But if I scale back, 350 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 8: as I said, down should have been tough. 351 00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: And what do you think they didn't do that? 352 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of fans and a lot 353 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: of experts are thinking, why wouldn't just do that? 354 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: It's quite simple, right, Not sure? 355 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 8: I think I think they're saying that by the rules 356 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 8: that they can't because if a player's fit, then that's 357 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 8: when the band should count. So it's a little bit 358 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 8: of a you know, Andrew Ada said it wasn't a 359 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 8: loop hole. He said it's rare in a press conference today. 360 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 8: But yeah, I think if the NFL came out and 361 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 8: said he can serve a game one next year'd be fine. 362 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 8: The other thing is is the fact that a lot 363 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 8: of players have served their band playing All Stars, Well, 364 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 8: it doesn't look like this will be afforded to Latrell 365 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 8: because he won't because he's not going to make the. 366 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: Kangaroo Stlmaninger came out as recently as and so given 367 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: everything that Latrell's been through over the course last month, 368 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 3: he wasn't considered. 369 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 9: Just on the All Stars as well. 370 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 8: It looks like it's going to be at the end 371 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 8: of next season, so he won't be able to use 372 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 8: the All Stars game to count as and as part 373 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 8: of that band. 374 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: So where I reckon Blake, Solly's left himself open a 375 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 3: little bit of chin music meek is. We didn't hear 376 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: from Blake and they only just decided to put a 377 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 3: statement out when the NRL's punishment was finally handed down. 378 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: So he wasn't sighted off nobbies and still hasn't been 379 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks yet now when it comes 380 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: down to the nitty gritty of the punishment, and the 381 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 3: NRL as the governing body, are within their rights. We've 382 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: seen them change the rules previously to allow players to 383 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 3: play in Final Series and serves bands the following season. Well, 384 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: in this instance it's the other way around. They run 385 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 3: the game, So they are entitled to come to that 386 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: view if they so choose. 387 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, but I think the fact that they've asked for 388 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 8: medical information and Sousin they provided medical information. 389 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 9: This is why we're having. 390 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: Let's be comit. 391 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 3: When we all saw the vision yesterday of Latrell casually 392 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: sauntering on that exercise bike at training, that didn't look 393 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 3: like an elite professional footballer who's preparing to play on front, 394 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: that's what called for. 395 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: Clearly that shouldn't be an issue then, so I should say, okay, 396 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: well here's his training loads. 397 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 9: I don't know how much training, so you don't run 398 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 9: the mouth. 399 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 2: So it's like they called bullshit on it. 400 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 6: So you look at the Cowboys, right and you're talking 401 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 6: about a side A coachman for d u A got sacked. 402 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 6: They should just own up and say you're playing next 403 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 6: year and cop it on the gin. 404 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: That's that's what's happened. 405 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 6: So now Latreil gets dragged over this again and it's 406 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 6: and it's lack of leadership. If that's your son, you 407 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 6: sit him out and you give him punishment, that's it. 408 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 6: That that is the end of the story. Really well, 409 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 6: so we say no, we don't go but you can 410 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 6: go there and untunly, it's not the end of the story. 411 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 6: The story continues, so we'll see what happens at the 412 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 6: end of this mess. 413 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: The Spoon Bowl has arrived. Let's have some fun with 414 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: the paramatter. Hell is taken on the West Tigers. 415 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: What a game? 416 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: This is going to be the Spoon Bowl Friday, five pm. 417 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: Why any solicit again? Right here on Fox sleeves. 418 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: Sold out, It's been sold out since Monday. Brave people 419 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: are planning parties at pubs all over. 420 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: Which one are you going to do? 421 00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 9: Might might be awake by the end of There's. 422 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 3: Some genuine excitement around this game. And I love the 423 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: fact that even though look to the West Tigers, it 424 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: means the hell of a lot because it means that 425 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 3: they don't collect three straight wooden spoons, and the last 426 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: club to do that was Newcastle. We've seen how long 427 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 3: it's taken them to repair themselves. And for the Yeels, 428 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 3: they need to show some signs of life as well, 429 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: because their leadership at the moment are under all sorts 430 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 3: of pressure and hard questions. 431 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, both Paramatta outstanding against the Dragons for seventy minutes 432 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 8: last week and showed some football that we haven't seen 433 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 8: consistently so far this year. Obviously, the Tigers had to 434 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 8: buy last weekend, but I just think Paramot had a 435 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 8: bit of former that they were so good last week 436 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 8: like to get up against the side that had everything 437 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 8: to play for. That shows where some of those senior 438 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 8: players are up. 439 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: They might be in a fight to avoid the wooden spoon, 440 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: But the Tigers are actually looking forward to the show 441 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: out of Campbelltown. 442 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 2: Last. 443 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 10: We've had that mindset for probably the last four weeks, 444 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 10: knowing that if we won our last couple of games, 445 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 10: we can get off the bottom of the ladder, and 446 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 10: you know there is a bit of half of half 447 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 10: of it around it. So yeah, we're going to go 448 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 10: down Friday night and yeah, give our best in trowing 449 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 10: from November last year to now. I think we're such 450 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 10: a better team. And you know, adding the players next 451 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 10: year and how hard we're going to work in the preseason. Yeah, 452 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 10: we're really on the up. 453 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 9: Slim Bowl, Are you embracing it or avoiding it? 454 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 2: I love it. 455 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 3: I love it. 456 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 5: It's put a bit of a novelty on the end 457 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 5: of the year, and sometimes you just get here and 458 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 5: you know there's nothing up for. 459 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 9: Grabs, but you know, for ust is pretty important. 460 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 5: You know, we don't want to come last time, you know, 461 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 5: if we're going to want to be paramatter. They're going 462 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 5: pretty good at the moment too, so we're gonna have 463 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 5: to play pretty well well. 464 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: West Tigers in there, coach Benji Marshall have been busy 465 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: signing players. What's the latest market moves from the Tigers 466 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: and Benji at the moment. 467 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 7: Yeah. 468 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 8: Obviously they got Royce Hunt done yesterday. Corey Harsbro is 469 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 8: next on their list. Jack Bird has toured the facilities 470 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 8: as well, and they're looking at getting Jack into a 471 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 8: guy that can play multiple positions but not be a 472 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 8: long term dow or. I think the Tigers want to 473 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 8: give him two years two years, whether that's enough to 474 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 8: try and get Jack across all? 475 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: I think I think Jack, he watched him on the weekend. 476 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: He's the ultimate competitor, is a leader, and he played 477 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: well really a in a beaten team. But Jack, when 478 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: you look at him, you look at his body and 479 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: his movements sometimes and he's susceptible of injury. Now getting 480 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: on a little bit. Two years is probably enough, right, 481 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: You wouldn't. 482 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 8: You couldn't go more than two, particularly with the players 483 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 8: they've got coming through as well. I think they see 484 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 8: that they probably want to a bridge player with a 485 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 8: bit of experience and can play. 486 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 9: There's multiple positions. 487 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: I'd go probably one year with one year option. 488 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 9: That would be ideal. 489 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 8: But there's that enough to get him out of his 490 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 8: because don't forget, he's got twelve months at the Dragons 491 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 8: guaranteed locked in, right because he's after permission to negotiate 492 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 8: the Dragons when he's standing his way, but he's not 493 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 8: going to leave the Dragons. 494 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 9: I'd say for. 495 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: Me, I look at it and I go, Okay, he's 496 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 1: great mates with I got him there if I want 497 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: to come together. Is not going to let him go 498 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: if he thinks he's going to he's at his best 499 00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: for next year. 500 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 2: Right, That's how I look at it. 501 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 3: The show a bit of backbone here on with you, Broth. 502 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 3: I think the smart play would be offer him a 503 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 3: one year deal and then there's an additional year there, 504 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 3: but the club decides based on his former get a 505 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 3: good year of his leadership. He'll be playing, he'll want 506 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 3: to play well and he'll want the team to go 507 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 3: well because he's got to trigger the following season. 508 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 9: Bill twelve months, won't get it done. When he's got. 509 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: Well, then it doesn't come. So I find the funny 510 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 3: sidelight around the Royce hunt signature is that now they're 511 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: also heavily in discussions with Corey hawse Bro. These two 512 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: are absolutely Bruce was great banner. I think it was 513 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 3: last year. Yeah, and Corey went each other in a 514 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: game and then Corey hopped on whatever the social media 515 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 3: platform it was and a little bit of band to back. 516 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 9: I reckon we can get him to reinacate that or 517 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 9: Royce was. 518 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 3: Quite in the papers today, so we'll sort it out 519 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 3: on the wrestle mat I like they're both having a 520 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 3: bit of a luf about something. It's a bit more 521 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 3: like I. 522 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 2: Think roy sounds a good signing too. 523 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: I know people say they want to get more minutes, 524 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: more minutes out of him, but I think he's high 525 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: impact and he's tough and he's good signing for the 526 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: West Tigre's and former West Tiger's chairman Lee had you 527 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 1: been tell Us has emerged to call for the bau 528 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: Main chair so I had to step aside after a 529 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: port surface of a split at the Joint Venture Club. 530 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 7: I've known Danny Stableton quite some time. I served on 531 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 7: the board of the West Tigers with him. In my 532 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 7: own personal dealings with Danny Stableton, he proved to be 533 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 7: a very deceitful and dishonest person, lying to me for 534 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 7: many many months prior to the events of December last year. 535 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 7: Because I don't think Danny stables And is worthy of 536 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 7: being the chair of Dalmain and I don't think he's 537 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 7: worthy of sitting on the board of directors of the 538 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 7: West Tigers. I think if you put out a statement 539 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 7: that's as misleading as erroneous as it was, you should resign, 540 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 7: and he should resign immediately. 541 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: Lee, had you been tell us, I guess who's back again? 542 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: Anyways, on this hoops. 543 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 3: A little bit of Laura and order there from Lee. Look, 544 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't like the fact that 545 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 3: a rogue Tiger's director has blown up in the papers. 546 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 3: My understanding is that he had zero authority to do so, 547 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: and now it's descended into this tip for tack slanging 548 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: match that Lee's also decided he wants to jump off 549 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: the top turn buckle and get involved in Danny Stawotin 550 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 3: in all my dealings with him is a straight up 551 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: and down style of a bloke. I don't think that 552 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: he is maliciously trying to deceive the West Tigers, and 553 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: I don't think that he should step down from his 554 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: role at Balmont. 555 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 8: But there's no doubt Lee feels deceived off the back 556 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 8: of been out as chairman, and Lee I find completely 557 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 8: honest and straight up and down as well. We hear 558 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,239 Speaker 8: him talk regularly and doesn't mince his words there, and 559 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 8: that's just his. 560 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 3: On his liver because he got ristoled out of the 561 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 3: joint last year. 562 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 9: Yeah that's real, no doubt about it. 563 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 8: But he felt like he was light and betrayed by 564 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 8: Stapleton and that's his return serve there. 565 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 6: He pitched Toddy, I want to. 566 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: Feels forward. 567 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: Sean Lane has opened up on the impending arrival of 568 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: Jason Roles, and it's been a strange transition. 569 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 11: Been a weird situation knowing that we have a new 570 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 11: coach coming in in six months time and then meanwhile 571 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 11: we've still been getting coached by bads and it could 572 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 11: be players moving on and everything like that. It's definitely 573 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 11: a weird one, but we haven't been looking too far 574 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 11: into the future. Like I said, we've still just been 575 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 11: taking everything as it comes. We going week by week, 576 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 11: and then when the time comes to move on after 577 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 11: this week, then we'll do so, and we'll start looking 578 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 11: towards the future. 579 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: Then interesting one there from sewn Lane, not looking highly 580 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: motivated with what's going on there. Understandable, you know, And 581 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: I look at that and I think, jeez, you'd want 582 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: a bit more enthusiasm, you know, like you really would. 583 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: But then I speak to Rolesey and I get enthusiasm 584 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 1: from him, but you probably want to get more out 585 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: of your plays. Even if you're the coach going there 586 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: and you're watching that, you're just like, come on, mate, 587 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: you know, like, let's let's leave now. 588 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: It's the end of the year. 589 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: You got the Spoon Bowl going on, all that sort 590 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: of stuff. But you know, I don't think it's the 591 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: end of the world. 592 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: No, But I think he's just been candid there. He's 593 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: obviously just decided, you know what, we have had a 594 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: season from hell. And it's not Yes, the players need 595 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 3: to be accountable, but a lot of the issues that 596 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 3: have risen at that club have been driven by the 597 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 3: administrator's decision to sack their previous coach in Brad Arthur. 598 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 3: They failed attempt to sign Wayne Bennett, then they appoint 599 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 3: Rose Rosey hasn't actually been inside the Kellyville High Performance 600 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 3: sen yet. I know he's been speaking to some of 601 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 3: the players externally. 602 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 2: But is he supposed to be in there. 603 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: Well, he's not, But I mean I find it strange 604 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 3: that he's been appointed his head coach. We haven't seen 605 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 3: him in front of the cameras. He hasn't to answer 606 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 3: any questions. We haven't seen him in a paramount of 607 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 3: polo shirt. 608 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 8: Respect a little bit as well, knowing that under the 609 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 8: bus when they sat Brad Arthur under the bus, they 610 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 8: did enough to take the job. It's going to be 611 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 8: all criticized Arthur. Who else was going to be criticized 612 00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 8: them sacking Brad. 613 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 3: I'm burning critical that administration. I've burn all season. 614 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 8: Yes, look I've got there's no way Jason Ryles can 615 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 8: sit wh where's he supposed to sit. 616 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 9: In the head coaches off. 617 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 8: He's been there, He's met with the players a lot 618 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 8: of time. 619 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 3: Because it looks like he'd met with like s looks 620 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 3: like a. 621 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 8: Bloke and it's probably how the whole joint feels They're like, 622 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 8: let's just get this over with and let's start fresh 623 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 8: next year. I don't blame Sean and I definitely don't 624 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 8: think Jason Royle should be sitting there. Well, a coach 625 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 8: that's coaching the side is leaving. 626 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 6: If I'm going there next year, I'd probably walk in 627 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 6: the buildings. 628 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 9: He's spoken to him. He's not hiding. He's not hiding 629 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 9: in the bushes. 630 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 3: He's spoken to every player. 631 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 8: Has he I don't know if he's spoken to every 632 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 8: single player, but he's had lots of meetings, lots of 633 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 8: phone calls. 634 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 9: He's not working for the Storm at the moment. He's 635 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 9: been in and round. Just not in there made. 636 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 3: Him leave as soon as he signed with Paramatic because 637 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 3: they knew it was a conflict. 638 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 9: Okay, what's that going to do with anything. 639 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 3: We'll just shows you that Melbourne decided, right, we don't 640 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: want someone working here who's already signed to be a 641 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 3: head coach at another club next season. 642 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: I would have thought. 643 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 3: I would have thought Rosey, right in all seriousness, could 644 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 3: have gone in in front of the playing group at 645 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 3: some stage where they just go for a meal at 646 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 3: a pub and he says, boys, I know it's been 647 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 3: a hell of a year. Is still in charge. He's 648 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: a great mate of mine.

I think that's what he's been doing. Of 654 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 9: course he has. He hasn't been sin at home watching 655 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 9: three six now. 656 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: He's been working, certainly not watching Tonight's on power board. 657 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 2: What have you got for us? 658 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think they've got some more challenges coming 659 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: up in the very near future of the paramatter board. 660 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 3: So uh, there's a group of retired champions players who 661 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 3: have formed a committee called the Make Para Matter Matter 662 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 3: Again Again. Right, so they've gone a little bit great 663 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 3: again Donald Trump road matter again. But Donald decided he 664 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 3: was going to make America great again. They want to 665 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 3: make the Eels great again. And it's some of the 666 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 3: bigger names that have been associated with the club. You've 667 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: got Brett Kenny, You've got Ray Price, you got Eric 668 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 3: Groth Senior and junior, Ben Smith, David Lyddiard and they 669 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 3: are going to try and get enough signatures to force 670 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 3: some constitutional change in terms of the setup of paramounta 671 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 3: league's club board. They want to try and get some 672 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 3: seats on that, which then means that they intend to 673 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: try and go after the Eels current administration. So if 674 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 3: they can get it off the ground, it is significant. 675 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 3: We see it sometimes at Canterbury Banks Down, you see 676 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 3: it at some of the other clubs. They try and 677 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 3: orchestrate boardroom cuz if they can get this one to fly, 678 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 3: I think it is significant. 679 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: They're trying to change the CEE. Is that what they're 680 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: trying to do here is. 681 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 3: Or they will if they can get completed control. 682 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 2: And what's the chances of this happening. 683 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 8: Look, it's obviously a concern and you can understand Paramatta's 684 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 8: fans frustrations and ex players because where they're sitting at 685 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 8: the moment on the ladder. But the way it works 686 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 8: is that the Lee's club board finals into the football 687 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 8: club and only two representatives from the least club will 688 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 8: be on the football club board. Otherwise there's five independent 689 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 8: directors and that was the reform that was brought in 690 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 8: when when the club was a basket case. Hoops mentioned 691 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 8: the fact that you know Canterbury have elections, we can't 692 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 8: it wasn't that longer that Paramatta had elections and it 693 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 8: was a shamozzle year after year was a shamozzle. 694 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 9: Is you know? 695 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 8: That's why the New South Wales government had to step in. 696 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 8: But you know the chances of it happening I think 697 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 8: a slim, But there's a chance. 698 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 3: They want constitutional reform because they feel as that at 699 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 3: the moment the way that the NRL side is set up, 700 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 3: members and fans do not have a voice whatsoever. And 701 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 3: I got to say I agree, it's a similar setup 702 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 3: at the West Tigers. The paying members don't actually get 703 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 3: a vote if they disagree with the decisions that most 704 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: clubs like that administrators are making. 705 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 9: Very few can you go and vote very few? 706 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 6: Well, and then there are Canterbury can Yeah, but the 707 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 6: games lack and footy knowledge. They used to be all 708 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 6: fullage footy knowledge and no business acraments on boards. Now 709 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 6: I think it's just turned the other way where you 710 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 6: need for knowledge a balance, You need a great balance 711 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 6: and that and that's why I feel good. We'll have 712 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 6: a job in this game for as long as he lives. 713 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 6: That's why Wayne Bennett at seventy five is still coaching 714 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 6: because it's the footy knowledge. 715 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 3: It's a great example where to go from a Grand 716 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 3: Final in twenty twenty two to now a spoon Bowl 717 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 3: only eight months later. 718 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 8: That is an incredible But they have made the biggest 719 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 8: decision and they've got rid of the coach. And then 720 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 8: if they're sitting in this position this time next year, 721 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 8: then other heads will have to roll as well. 722 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: I've got some big breaking news today that you three 723 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: are going to be over the moon about kid LaRoy 724 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,239 Speaker 1: to play at the Grand Final. Surely you blakes are 725 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: pumped about this. 726 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 8: That's a good kid, Larroy, the young kid, he's good. 727 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 8: His good name is a global superstars. 728 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 9: He I love it. 729 00:30:48,080 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 2: You see listen to my one there Spotify Spotify. 730 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 3: We're still got the slim dusty cassettes. I think aiming 731 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 3: to appeal to a younger generation audience, so I can 732 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 3: understand wouldn't come cheap. So you've got to commend the NR. 733 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 3: I think it's to make that decision. 734 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: I think it's a great decision about because people my 735 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: age go to watch the game, maybe younger people want 736 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: different entertainment. And if he's a footy fan too, he's 737 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: the rabbit and the doco that we had on Fox 738 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: League in Vegas. He met with Cody Wop and a 739 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: few of the guys over. 740 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: There here in his ear and he was he was staked. 741 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: He's a big fan, he said. 742 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: When he comes over, you'll catch up with the guys 743 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: and their kids, and so the fact that he's a 744 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: big fan. 745 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 8: But he's global, he's got he's a big name, he's 746 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 8: a big deal. They've done, but I'm like, God, I 747 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 8: don't care.
