00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 4: to that one.

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 5: It's a great advertisement for the game, isn't it go?

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: Because the drags those fans in that don't get the

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 2: opportunity to see a game of footy or let alone

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: a weekend of footing.

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 5: Huge promotion for the game.

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: Rooster Sharks for me Brath, that're just another great test,

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: a top four battle, great test for the Sharks.

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 5: Good to see what the Roosters a.

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: Little bit later to Nico Hines. Maybe in Dowd Again,

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I read something I remember. We'll delve

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: a little deeper into that. But there is some big

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: news coming out of Canberra, Dave, can you fill us in.

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's significant news.

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: If you're a Raiders fan, I can tell you that

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: Ricky Stewart the unofficial King of Canberra. He is poised

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: to sign a new contract extension through until twenty twenty nine.

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: Now he was on contract guys twenty nine. Yeah, he

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: was on contract next year twenty twenty five. And my

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: understanding is that they're going to push it out through

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: until twenty twenty nine. It is built around the current

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: process that the club is going through where they're trying

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: to develop and generate a new next gen player through

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: and you have the youngster Xavier Savage, obviously Ethan Strange,

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: Chevy Stewart. They want Ricky to be there to show

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: these guys the way through over the next four to

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: five years. And I understand the deal will be announced

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: within the next twenty four to forty eight hours.

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 6: They've signed the young kid from Paramatta as well.

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 7: How good is Ricky Stewart to watch down on the

47
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 7: sideline as a coach in the NRL that shows as

48
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 7: much passion as this person. It's like he rides or

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 7: he's involved in every tackle, He's in every hit or

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 7: up and down that sideline.

51
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Thankfully he's recommitted.

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 7: To canber He's such a passionate person, someone I really

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 7: like to watch.

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 6: He's not just the coach in Cambra either is him.

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: He's part of the community down there, does a lot

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: of charity work and they love him in Canberra and

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: I was obviously got a close relationship with officials, areas

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: good mates with Donnie Ferner, the CEO. I think Ricky's

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: done a great job in regenerating that side with those

60
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: young signings.

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: Dave.

62
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's done a great job. He is mister Cambra,

63
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. But he's only won one

64
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: premiership in his career and that's.

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 6: A long deal.

66
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Is it a bit odd to sign a long deal

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: like that. I know it's Ricky Stewart, but most coaches

68
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: are defined by success.

69
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

70
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: Look, I think I think it's to what Reedy speaks

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: about Braith, and that is if you are I'm not

72
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: meaning this to be detrimental to Canberra, but you need

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: a significant head coach with profile at that football club

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: to not only attract talent, but to keep talent, and

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: they've done a good job of that in recent seasons.

76
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: And Ready's right.

77
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: He has a lot of power and influence down in Canberra,

78
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: but also too he helps put Canbra on the map

79
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: in an NRL environment. He has conduits throughout the game,

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: he can pick up the phone to the NRL and

81
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: that is the power of Ricky Stewart, which I think

82
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: is the Canbra club needs.

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 6: I think it's different.

84
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: We've spoken about Brad Arthline has shown going eleven years

85
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: without when you're a premiership and we said the Brad

86
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: should be under pressure and people have responded under that

87
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: you on social media media they say what it Wasn't

88
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: Ricky under the same pressure. And I think the clubs

89
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: are different. I think the situations are different. I don't

90
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: think you can compare Canbra to Paramatta, Canbra to the Roosters.

91
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 4: I think they're different clubs and I think what Ricky

92
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: means to that community goes hand in glove with coaching

93
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 4: the footy team. I think it's a different scenario so

94
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: you know, I think Ricky deserves a longer deal down there.

95
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: And he's done a goodjole with them this year. I

96
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: just thought the question had to be asked for reason,

97
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: question about reason, because a lot of fans to ask

98
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: the question and they want to know why. So I

99
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: tell Shirt top story. Calm Ponger's future with the Knights

100
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: has been questioned after reports the NL was looking into

101
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: a potential salary cap breach involving the super Star Fullback Boys.

102
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? There is mud and

103
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: a strange set of events over the past couple of days.

104
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Can one of you guys talk us through. Well, I'll

105
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: come to you because you're good mates with Kaylen and

106
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: he's dad. You've had a long standing relationship. You cheated

107
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: on Melbourne with.

108
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 5: It gets around it.

109
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: Well.

110
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 6: I think this started basically.

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: Started as an issue over ratrit clauses in the contract,

112
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 4: and I think the Pond camp we're looking for some

113
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 4: clarity around the ratic clauser in Karlen's contract. I think

114
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 4: they were concerned he wasn't being paid what he should

115
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 4: have been paid, and that got explained to who was concerned.

116
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: I think Andre because he doesn't have a sure spoke

117
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 4: to the NRL.

118
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 7: Surely that's just simple mathematics. So right, if you if

119
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 7: you are a percentage of the pie, I either salary

120
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 7: cap that say, let's for arguments, ten percent, and that

121
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 7: cap is ten million, and that grows to say twelve

122
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 7: million's still ten percent.

123
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: It was not that difficult to figure out.

124
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: It was a bit different, that is, over the term

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 4: of this deal, James, because the cap went up by

126
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 4: a certain amount, but then the minimum waves went up

127
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: and it affected the percentages.

128
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: And anyway, he just wanted to do for Karlin any

129
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: other party.

130
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 4: Well, I think he just wanted some clarity, right, not

131
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: every player's got a ratt clause breath as well, and

132
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 4: he's gone significant money.

133
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: I would say a lot at clauses, so a lot too.

134
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, well his father wanted some clarity around that.

135
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: But then the NL went into the NL. I believe

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to paint a picture in.

137
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 6: The process of this.

138
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: Obviously there's become an issue over a third party that

139
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 4: allegedly wasn't paid and it's mind Steining that's now been

140
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 4: paid and I think the NRL, it's been said the

141
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: NIALS invested on in the third party payment.

142
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 6: That's not right.

143
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: That's not an aneral issue because it was a long

144
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: standing deal of the NURL approved four years ago, and

145
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: the NRL's basically said, that's not our issue. That's an

146
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: arms Link deal. We've already given up. The green light

147
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: is so very common in the game. You need to

148
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: solve that with the person who's not the deal.

149
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: The NRL's jurisdiction.

150
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 4: It's not the animal's jurisdiction unless there's something untowards.

151
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: Why did he go to the nl with that? Then?

152
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: Well, I just think of the process of those talks

153
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 4: have got raised breath.

154
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: There was obviously there was, see not many. What I'm

155
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: trying to say is is it not many as let

156
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: alone dads, if he's an acting agent as his father

157
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: go to the NRL to seek clarification on something so

158
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: simple as a ratchet clause, which you are trying to

159
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: say he's complicated, is not. Every agent in the game

160
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: knows it, and half of the NRL, Well, if you

161
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: want to act as an agent, you should know that, and

162
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: half of the NRL actually are on that actual cause.

163
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: Then to throw in that there's a third party unpaid

164
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: is very unusual and it's not the Nerall's problem. So

165
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: I think the question I'm trying to get to here

166
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: is was it deliberate to go in there and ruffle

167
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: some feathers or was there was he actually concerned about

168
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: the payment.

169
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: We probably wanted to get paid and it's worked because

170
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 4: apparent he has been paid.

171
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: So Newcastle feel about that well.

172
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: I think Newcut it's a funny club break because there's

173
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: people at that club who work behind the scenes, who

174
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: don't un official role with that football club, who are

175
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 4: involved with the footy club and what they're not officially

176
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: with the club, they are involved with the club that

177
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 4: in some instances such as this one, they pay third parties.

178
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 4: So I think within the club there's certain figures who

179
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: find this all a bit hard to deal with happy

180
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: about it.

181
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: There's lots of clubs that would would operad.

182
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 5: Not like this.

183
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: Jim, I don't know that I've ever I've ever come

184
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: across the situation like this where there's a person at

185
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: that club who basically acts as the right hand of

186
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: Phil Gardner, who's the CEO, and has no official role

187
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: with in the football club, yet there's also paying third

188
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: parties to the players, as in this case.

189
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: I just look at this and think, is there a

190
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: bit of conspiracy and conspiracy theories around this? Like is

191
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: it deliberate to try and you know, is he happy there? Klin?

192
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Is his dad happy there? Is he trying to try

193
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: and get out of this contract?

194
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 6: Is he not?

195
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: Because it is unusual and it has to be said.

196
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: Well, but before all the viewers fall asleep, I'm trying

197
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: to understand ratchet clauses and Pythagris's theorem and signed cos

198
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: and ten and understand I explained that that is the

199
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: only thing that matters to Newcastle Knights fans. What is

200
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: the implications of this story, and that is is Calin

201
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: Pong going to be at the Knights or not? And

202
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: to your point breath conspiracy, that's certainly. It's certainly been

203
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: asked internally at the Knights, who, as you said, there

204
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: are armed length from this whole drama. They're wondering, hang

205
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: on a second, is something more at play here. I've

206
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: made inquiries today with rival clubs to sit and those

207
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: inquiries led to no.

208
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Look rich clubs Roosters because you said clubs one sorry, right.

209
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: Because and I spoke to the Roosters about their forward

210
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: planning okay, and I also spoke about the head of

211
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: recruitment at the Roosters. It was formerly at the Knights

212
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: and formerly at the Cowboys, has a close relationship to

213
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: Kaylin and so I made some inquiries to the Roosters,

214
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: of which they said not even on our radar.

215
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 5: Didn't even know about.

216
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: As far as forward planning post James to desk go,

217
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: So it's not on the Rooster's radar. You talk to

218
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: the Knights and certainly they thought, hang on a say,

219
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: is there some funny business a year about Calum being unhappy?

220
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: That's been put to bed. He's not unhappy at all,

221
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: happy to be there.

222
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 7: Well, if he does aggregate aggrav eighth rather for a release,

223
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 7: then the Knights have to take the same stance as

224
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 7: the Dragons with ben Hunt.

225
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: They have to if.

226
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 7: He's contracted till twenty twenty seven, there's no way they

227
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 7: can allow him to just walk out the door.

228
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: I don't think he's agitating for I think he's happy there.

229
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: I think every sign of seems that he's happy there.

230
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 4: He just wants his dad just wanted him to get

231
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: the money with Oude and turns out he's seem odd though.

232
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 7: The fact that he would, you know, knock on the

233
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 7: NRL's door or phone the NRL and ask for clarification

234
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 7: because it's that they don't hold the keys to the answer.

235
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, well he probably wasn't aware of that.

236
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: So believable. We won't hear a word about this again.

237
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: That's it, it's done.

238
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: We wouldn't go that far. Bro Oh, well, don this

239
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: stuff works. I mean one starts rattling the cave.

240
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: You said it was all good, and you're saying you

241
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: know how this stuff works.

242
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just saying I can't sit here and tell

243
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: you we won't hear any more about this. I'm not

244
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: saying in so far as Kalin's consumed potentially leaving the club.

245
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 6: I'm talking about.

246
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: So Newcastle fans should be at home, very comfortable in

247
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: the couch right now, safe their number one player, the

248
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: King of Newcastle stay.

249
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 6: Well, I think he is right now. I don't think

250
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 6: what I think. No, sorry, I don't.

251
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: Think there's any plans for coming to leave the football club.

252
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 6: Okay, but when you.

253
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: Start rappling the tin like this, so we're rapping the cage,

254
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: who knows what falls out?

255
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: Clear as much at the start of this it's still

256
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: clear as much. Let's move on to Harry Grant fronts

257
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: to the judiciary tonight. Now we spoke about this last night.

258
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: What are his chances are getting off on this one?

259
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: I'll get your opinion first, because you guys obviously went

260
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: on last night opinion on it and what are his

261
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: chances are getting off it?

262
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: I was surprised on the incident, as both penalty and

263
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: sin being his concern. I didn't think there was anything

264
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: dangerous or untoward to what Harry Grant. I thought James

265
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: explained it so well last night about Harry just taking

266
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: the space of Atkinson. I didn't you know the referee

267
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: indicated that it was a case of duty of care

268
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: that he didn't show towards Atkinson.

269
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 5: I disagree totally.

270
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: However, it seems as though the NRL are attempting to

271
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: put a black and white rule around the protection of kicking.

272
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: Have you heard Have you guys heard this, because that's

273
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: really what we want to know. Is it black and white? Now?

274
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: I don't think anything in n r el's black and

275
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: wort these days? Browth is it with officiating? I mean

276
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: I can cop a penalty for it, I can live

277
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 4: with it. Because it was contact. The symbols terrible. This, Yeah,

278
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 4: but Jimmy, Harry probably could.

279
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 6: Have avoided it.

280
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 7: By not putting in the effort play of a kick pressure.

281
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 6: I prefer no penalty.

282
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: My preference was no penalty, but I can understand them

283
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: giving but the symbony was white over the top, ridiculous.

284
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: And you know what, I'm glad they're fording it because

285
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: too many clubs just copped the fine because that's the

286
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 4: easy thing to do.

287
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 7: The easy option with one thousand dollars on the line

288
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 7: is to take that. So I credit Harry Melvin Storm

289
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 7: for fighting this because this, you know, we had Bellamy

290
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 7: say about a line in the sand and.

291
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: We move on. No, no, no, we don't. We pushed back.

292
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 6: We pushed Jimmy was a never win of the.

293
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 7: There's people within the game that need to push back

294
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 7: on this and understand that we can't have big games

295
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 7: being decided by decisions like that, because there was huge

296
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 7: ramifications for the outcome of that game due to Harry

297
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 7: Grant being unfairly symbol in my opinion, and anybody that

298
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 7: watches the game would surely disagree that that shouldn't be

299
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 7: a symboony I don't think it even should be a penalty.

300
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 7: We need to push back and gain control because we

301
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 7: can't have big games being decided like that.

302
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: I agree with the Jimmy. The record of players the

303
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: judiciary hasn't been good. It's terrible. It's terrible. I'm going

304
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: to make him call I reckon. He gets off. What

305
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: do you guys think.

306
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 5: In the in the view of the public opinion, he

307
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 5: gets off.

308
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,479
Speaker 2: But as I said, if the mandate is to eradicate

309
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: any touching of kickers, he's going to He's going.

310
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: To be found guilty.

311
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: Well, there's no common sense that the juici is because

312
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: it's a quarter you know, like we all say we

313
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: need common sense here. But probably a quarter of law

314
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: is not the best place surely to.

315
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 4: Former football, Isn't that that's what you have in the

316
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: juditary or former referee in a former football. Surely they

317
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: watch that and go you can't fall in a blake

318
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: for that.

319
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Is there far play involved? No?

320
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 7: No, no, like he's been punished enough his teams.

321
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: No, I'm going all in. He gets off. Jack White

322
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: has been telling a fresh blower to Michael MacGuire's selection

323
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: headache by ruling himself out of an origin comeback.

324
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: I've been in chats with Imagine No. We've been trying

325
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: to really put a focus on keep my body together

326
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: for for Sousman. As everyone knows, we're in a bit

327
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: of a rut and my main focus is to him.

328
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: But there's plenty of young kids that the the Blues

329
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: proud and do a great job there. So every year

330
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: you get older, it gets harder, you know what I mean.

331
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: You're starting to kid yourself if your think you're just

332
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: going to keep on for something now. But I can

333
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: only focus on them now and what's happening right now,

334
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: and I'll sit in my position of staying retired.

335
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: So Jack White, they're not going to reverse He's a retirement.

336
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: So where does this leave New South Wales in terms

337
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: of their halves? We spoke about it again last night.

338
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: Do you guys have a different opinion? Do you have

339
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: different selections? Where are we landing in New South Wales

340
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: here with our six and seven?

341
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 6: Well, I'm concerned now breath as well.

342
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: Mitch Moses in the heart but he's not playing and

343
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: may not play next week, so that's a worry. Nicko's

344
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 4: You're I think you're a chunks today David and nicodin.

345
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: Very very light duties and will increase his training lad

346
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: as the week progresses. There's optimism that he's going to

347
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: play this weekend and will increases load. As I said

348
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: on Thursday, that's the next field session. I only kept

349
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: the light duty start. It was calf tightness, but guys have.

350
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 6: Got loads at depth though.

351
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: Louis Burton, please, you know you shouldn't be too worried.

352
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: So what you think that news? I are sitting one out,

353
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: one back at the moment.

354
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 4: He players I got to choose from doesn't play and

355
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: clearly isn't there. You just turned to lew I and Burton.

356
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: Who are the favorites? I'll ask you as well. I've

357
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: asked the silly question.

358
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 6: I need to ask.

359
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 5: Why are you turning to lou Ian Burton.

360
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 6: I'm saying these folks are out.

361
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 4: I'm saying there's obvious luke Key you've got and he's

362
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: a Queen's land of mind.

363
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: You okay, legend, who's the six and seven? Then big

364
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Man michiganets mix. We've got plenty of choose from. If

365
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: they're out, who's the halfs if Heines and Mitchell out,

366
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: Burton and Lewis Burton LAWI six and seven. No problem

367
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: there Burton and Lewis six and seven. And I'm asked and.

368
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 6: Why well, because they're the next two in line with.

369
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: But who plays where? What? Who does what?

370
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 6: Okay, that's that's.

371
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: A difficult question.

372
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 6: How far away seven this week?

373
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: So Moses isn't playing this week? Is he anticipated?

374
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 7: So that only be an opportunity for one more game

375
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 7: against South Sydney for Paramatta next week? How likely is

376
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 7: he of taken the field?

377
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: So?

378
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: So with Mitch, he had a light running session yesterday.

379
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 2: He's still running in his joggers. Guys, he's not. He's

380
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: only doing straight line running. It's not like significant training.

381
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: My understanding is at least two to three sessions behind

382
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: the current training group on getting up to speed.

383
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: He sounds like he's in big date. I forgot you've

384
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: got thing. I forgot.

385
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 4: I forgot about the blake one man in the match

386
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 4: in game three last year, Cody Walker, So you've got him.

387
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: I forgot about That's so we waited all that time

388
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: for you to say thank you.

389
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 6: You know what?

390
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: I think? Nico Hines seems like he'll be fine right.

391
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: The other option would be probably Nicko Hines and Burton

392
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: at six. You know, that's probably where I'd lean to

393
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: more so than the other options. You know, I think

394
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: Burton's starting to find some form. Nicko Hines leading the

395
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: team around. You could go Kiriy and Height. You've played

396
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: in the halfs in Origin. Would Mitch Moses need a game? Yes, definitely,

397
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: definitely you can't. He cannot go in anyone because the

398
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: thing is Mitch. And this is no disrespecting Mitch. If

399
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: you're Andrew Johns, Jonathan First and Cooper Kroan, the greats,

400
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: you know that they that's different. It's different when you

401
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: minch and Yeah, he had success, he won that last game.

402
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: He's an Origin player and he could be there for

403
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: a very long time. But what's what would have been

404
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: eight nine weeks more more ten weeks by then without it,

405
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: without a game, just it is Origin is three times

406
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: he has to play. He has play.

407
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 5: He has to play against Sydney.

408
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: He has a catch to that guy is really interesting

409
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: because if he does play against South Sydney. To your point,

410
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: he said that long out, he will be super sore

411
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: after that first game back, right of which he then

412
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 2: has a ten day camp with the Blues, of which

413
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: Madge will want Mitch absolutely firing from day one.

414
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: That's a great point, Dave, because Origin training is also

415
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: three or four times harder and more intense, like it

416
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: is like playing a game. Yeah, so you need to

417
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: be ready for it.

418
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 5: Come.

419
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 4: That's why you guys are all putting the line through

420
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: Jerome Lui. No one's even given you on the only

421
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 4: bloke has read him.

422
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: And mention well, my concern with Jerime is that he's

423
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: been there and I just haven't seen that level of excellence,

424
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: an elite level quality in his game at the Origin

425
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: level to warrant for automatic selection.

426
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: More importantly, do we know what Madge thinks of Luis?

427
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: I understand he is his second third behind Okay bat

428
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: in the head of not to my understanding.

429
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 5: No, And I think to your point, Bra.

430
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: Who is there? But they have a backup plan? This

431
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: is this is the problem.

432
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 5: So I don't think they do. They don't, I don't

433
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 5: think they do.

434
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Sure, please your you can.

435
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: Sure you can have your pecking order, but not a

436
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: backup plan, because how can you pick the team when

437
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: they're dropping like flies?

438
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 5: What's to say, Hines or whatever happens this weekend?

439
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: So it is little wife of any line though if

440
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: there if those two, well.

441
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: It could be almost Breadbury.

442
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 7: Like I reckon McGuire might just turn the television off

443
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 7: this weekend, just on Monday morning, tune into Fox Sports

444
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 7: News and see who's injured.

445
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Just because we are clear underdogs here, Why is it

446
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: dropping like Queensland have got their team picked already? The

447
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: spine is just perfect. There's no excuse for Quaens. They're

448
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: not to win games.

449
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 7: Takes the pressure off McGuire, doesn't it, which you could

450
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 7: argue it is going to be the biggest challenge for him.

451
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 7: Obviously he coached at South Sydney, coached in Wigan, coached

452
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 7: the Tigers when they were really struggling. But the pressure

453
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 7: cooker that he will be in and the narrative around

454
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 7: state of origin, every decision that he makes, maybe this

455
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 7: just might be a benefiting Queens that will be favorite

456
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 7: definitely book makers.

457
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 4: A little change that changes by game time. Guarantee you

458
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 4: that will change by game time, because it always does.

459
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: It's not kind. You just hanging on for dear life

460
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: to this underdog crap. That's what you hang it on to.

461
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: Thank you to serious news NRL racism investigation. Now, this

462
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: happened on the weekend at the game against the Dragons,

463
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: to see how seeing rabbits both Cody Walker out on

464
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: the trell Mitchell, Now, can you guys talk us through

465
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: what's went down here?

466
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: Well, there was someone in the crowd who was racially

467
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 4: abusing Cody on Latrell. I'm not sure Cody and Latrell

468
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 4: heard it, but a fan in the stands identify the person.

469
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: I can tell the NRL has now identified that person.

470
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: They've spoken and they've interviewed them, and I expect the

471
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: next couple of days we'll see some pretty hefty bands,

472
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 4: a hefty band handed out to that person. We won't

473
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 4: see him at a regular league game for a long

474
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: long time, if ever again.

475
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: So it should be life, it should be it should

476
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: be what have you heard? Yeah?

477
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: Likewise, likewise, what what gives me hope you guys, is

478
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: that fans are now calling out fans. Yes, right, so

479
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: this is usually the player out on the field having

480
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: to go and get a security guard and they.

481
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 5: Latrelle Cody.

482
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: They've put up with it for too long, and thankfully

483
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: we're seeing fans now turn on fans, which it shows

484
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: a little bit of growing up.

485
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I think it's really good. I actually had someone email

486
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: me at the game immediately and said that they had

487
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: heard it, and I don't know if it's the same person,

488
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: but they said it was a disgrace and disgusting and

489
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: we don't stand for it here. And in my opinion,

490
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: if you're racist at the games, you should just never

491
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: return ben never to be seen again. All right, Angus

492
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: kriton what is happening with him? He had plenty to

493
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: say after obviously David fraffiteda being signed by the Roosters.

494
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Seems like he wasn't notified by the club.

495
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: Well, I think the club had been talking to his agent,

496
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: and I don't think his agent had got around it

497
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: communicating to Angus because he had a football game that weekend.

498
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 4: I can tell you that the russ of today given

499
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: still Chupenuur permission to explore his options elsewhere, doesn't necessarily

500
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: mean Satill he will leave. He'll come back to the

501
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 4: club in a few weeks see what the options are

502
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 4: out there. But if Angers stays, it's going to make

503
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: it hard for them to keep Satilly. If Angus decides

504
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 4: to leave, then the chance until he stays. So I

505
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: think Angus will have some discussions or his management will

506
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 4: have some discussions at Magic Ground with the Rusters and

507
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 4: some other clubs, and then they'll go from there and

508
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: see what happens. But you know, I think the Rusters

509
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 4: think they can keep Angus Crichton. We'll see what happens.

510
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: But his price has gone up a lot now has gone.

511
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 6: They could have kept. I mean, earlier in the year's

512
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 6: price was probably half that. That was a different time.

513
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 7: So were they offering him a deal at that time

514
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 7: below his current contract value.

515
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 4: I don't think they may even offer back then, Jimmy.

516
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: I think they'll wan to see how he played. But

517
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: at that point, obviously they they could have got him

518
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: at a lower price.

519
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: And not only that, Really the anticipation within the Roosters

520
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: was that was heading to French rugby. Yes, so they

521
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: didn't really think there was an opportunity to retain Angus

522
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: at that point because he was he was going to

523
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: head off overseas.

524
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, Like Angus was struggling big time on

525
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: off the field, and really he would have struggled to

526
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: get a club. He started to grief. He was you know,

527
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: he's come a long way which is a credit to him,

528
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: but it probably makes it difficult to manage, you know,

529
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: for the club now with the salary cap and they've

530
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: signed for Feeder. But they've made that call and Angus

531
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: was in formed last week when they when they signed him.

532
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: So interesting to see how it does well.

533
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see because Angus won't struggle to

534
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: get a club for a buying club. How there's so

535
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: much appeal in getting all he'll got class to playing

536
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: start of origin for the Blues.

537
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: I think he will a a little bits comments, so

538
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 4: they're pretty jarring, pretty upfront.

539
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 6: And honest, I'm not going to sit behind anyone.

540
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: I like it the way he's playing. He shouldn't sit

541
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 4: behind anyone. Angus crime.

542
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: He should start saying that right to me, that suggests

543
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: that he'll expect the value for his performances and he

544
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: wants to play on that left hand. They're both left edges, right.

545
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well that's going to make it up for the

546
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 4: Roosts to keep Angus and what it means to till

547
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: he's stays.

548
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 6: So, you know, I think we'll find out in the

549
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 6: next couple of weeks what happens.

550
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: He will make a big play at Angus. Angus surely

551
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: left edge because they want a left edge back right

552
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: and he's more traditional than for Feeder is a left

553
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: edge back rower and he would fit into that system

554
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: of Pende very well.

555
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 4: There were plans for them to meet this week to

556
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 4: talk about what they were going to do after miss

557
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: out and Dave, I think they've been put on hold

558
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 4: for a few days or till the end of the week,

559
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: potential early next week. I don't think they've decided what

560
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 4: they'll do next, but they do have an interest in Angus.

561
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 4: He's one of the guys they are looking at. They

562
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: might look at Stillion now he has been given permission.

563
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, not bad either. They really you're taking it.

564
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 6: He's gleaning on your feet, isn't it.

565
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: It is just like you're ready in life. You don't

566
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: trouble in Townsville. What's going on in Townsville? This is

567
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: they've just fallen off a cliff.

568
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: Well, well it it has to be hugely concerning.

569
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: And it must be said that if the Cowboys were

570
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 2: a Sydney club, Todd Beayden would be under the blowtorch

571
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: right now.

572
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 5: They had a shocking end of their season.

573
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: They only they lost four of their last five last year,

574
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: and I just think they've been they got The game

575
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: that got me was the Dolphins loss. They got absolutely

576
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: outworked and outmuscled by a coinslank Cup side. And for me,

577
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: if there weren't internal questions being asked at that point

578
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: in time, well, the Cowboys management aren't doing their job.

579
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: They don't want to defend. They got no interest in defending.

580
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 4: All they want to do is attack. And I think

581
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: that there are rumblings up there that the walls are

582
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 4: closing in on Toddy a bit.

583
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 1: Is that right?

584
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 6: Well, yeah they are.

585
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: Can you talk us through that a little bit?

586
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 6: Just some rumblings. There's some pressure on and so this

587
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 6: should yeah, of.

588
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: Course there is.

589
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 7: There were top four two seasons ago, didn't make the

590
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 7: eight last year after high expectations, and then don't look

591
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 7: like they're going to be challenging for playoffs coming to

592
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 7: the end.

593
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 6: Of the season.

594
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: I just wonder.

595
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 7: In the preseason Todd Peyton made a big call to

596
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 7: remove Townsend and Tamalolo from those captaincy and leadership roles

597
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 7: and assigned them to Dierden and to who else now

598
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 7: is the rub Cotton now that arguably is the correct

599
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 7: decision that young leadership. Todd justified his decision, but how

600
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 7: well has that been received by Tamilola and Townsend and

601
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 7: the ripple on effect of maybe not managing that changing

602
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 7: of the guard as well as possible.

603
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 4: That is a top eight squad you go through that scoad,

604
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 4: that's a top eight squad at a minimum a top

605
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 4: eight squad. So you look at where they are now

606
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 4: and the way they've played in the last five weeks,

607
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: it's just been way, way be lot of expectations.

608
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: So Rudy's point about the defense, if we remember two

609
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: seasons ago when the Cowboys had that great year, we

610
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 2: remember to talking about their scrambled defense and how they

611
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: used to fight for each other where there'd be six, seven,

612
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: eight cowboys in the frame on a last ditch play.

613
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: We're seeing none of that. We spoke about how fit

614
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: they were, how hard they were, We're seeing none of

615
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: that at this point in time. And that's why I

616
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: honestly believe there are questions being asked up there, and

617
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 2: not only that, guys, the ripple effect on the Queensland

618
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: origin side, where I believe that there would be discussions

619
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: being had with several of those Queensland as I Valentine

620
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: Holmes Mariy to a lungey rubbon cord.

621
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 6: Or it should be underdog Stone.

622
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 5: Sorry, what did I do? Terrible?

623
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on from that now. Shane Richardson

624
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: he has sent a love love letter, a letter to

625
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: the fans the Tigers. Can someone tell me what it

626
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: contain in that letter? And why is he sending it

627
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: to the fans right now?

628
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 6: Well?

629
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 4: These saying because they're in the bad patch break I've

630
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: lost what they lost five or six in a row.

631
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: I think just wanted to calm them and reassure them

632
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: the club's heading.

633
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 6: In the right direction.

634
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: But so, okay, he has been better this year, brath

635
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: Do you not think they'd be better? But I think

636
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 4: they've been better this year. They won't spoon last year spoon.

637
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 4: The year before they lost six when they beat Paramatter.

638
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: We were talking about it the other week that when

639
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 4: they beat Paramatter, Clint Gothison missed the conversion on the

640
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 4: bell which was there.

641
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm saying that I think they've been better

642
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 6: this year.

643
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: Panic from Shane.

644
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 6: I think that's the essence of the message.

645
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a working problems.

646
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: The ceo send letters to their fans regularly about their performance.

647
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm just asking. I do not know.

648
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 4: Sometimes CEOs provide updates. Yeah, that happens occasionally, occasional. Usually

649
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 4: when your team's going pretty badly, you send a letter

650
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: or an email of the post something on the website

651
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: to reassure the fans not to worry.

652
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 5: So so don't panic because we're not going that bad,

653
00:29:59,120 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 5: is the message.

654
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah to defense, which means penny because I'm sending a letter.

655
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 5: But I'm panicking because I'm sending a letter.

656
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 7: Just at least he's communicating, you know.

657
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 5: The last thing you probably might is.

658
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: Crickets from your club. Communication is everything, it is, even

659
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,600
