1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hmm.

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: I was on two n RL three sixty rugby league

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: from every angle joining me in the great Gordon Tallis

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: bring the journals in, Paul Crawley and Andrew Webster. Interesting

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: round of footy on the weekend, that you enjoy the

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: weekend's footing.

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: I love sim bins.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 4: I just think there should be more of them. Don't

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 4: need to wrap the games at all. Now, what's up?

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 4: You know the footy has been great.

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 3: We just need to get the officials out of the way.

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 5: Just be great if you could talk about the footy.

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Hopefully after magic round we can now. The sin bin

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: saga continues tonight, with Titans coach Des Has hitting out

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: at the NRL denying his team he is the most

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: penalized in the competition.

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 6: Take a look the.

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 3: Most penalized team in competition for high tackles.

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 6: What do you make of that?

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's interesting stat and it doesn't mean it's correct

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 7: and consultation it might appeal at that.

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 6: I can assure you it's not correct.

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 7: So for Andrew to say that there has been a

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 7: correct down.

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 6: Us is wrong.

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 7: And it seems like all of a sudden that you

27
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 7: know we're going to move the gold posts, which is

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 7: not the not a clear response. Why are we moving

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 7: the gold posts all of a sudden, I don't think

30
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 7: coming out and changing all this now moving the goal post,

31
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 7: I think it's not being honest with the integrity of

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 7: the game.

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: Are you after four losses and a couple of them?

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 7: No, No, we take full will take full responsibility to

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 7: four losses. So don't say that I never said that.

36
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: You said that he's off at the NRL.

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: The NL are moving the goal posts.

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 6: Ah, And I don't.

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 8: Think they're moving the goal post. I think they're clamping down.

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 8: And last night when we saw the stats, I must

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 8: have been reading the wrong ones because the Titans were leading,

42
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 8: the comp went we shod here well.

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Is the most head Eige tackles. He's saying they haven't, But.

44
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 6: Is he alluding to other teams get away with them?

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 5: That's the point.

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 9: That's the point when when you when you put those

47
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 9: figures up last night, you can read them two ways. Yeah,

48
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 9: the Titans are on top, but as we all know,

49
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 9: we're seeing some that are being panalized that shouldn't be

50
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 9: penalties and some that are getting this from other teams.

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 9: That changes the landscape, and there's no question in the world,

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 9: no question in the world. In the last month, we've

53
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 9: seen a change, Gordon. You can't deny the goalposts have

54
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 9: changed in the last month.

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: It was the line that was sort of trotted out

56
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 4: by Andrew Abdo on his charm offensive yesterday, like he

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: spoke to everybody, and I remember talking to Andrew earlier

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: in the day and he made the point that, you know,

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: head high tackles are significantly more at this point of

60
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: the season than last year.

61
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 6: But you're right.

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 4: The counter argument to that is is that they're they're

63
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 4: calling more and more head high tackles when they actually aren't.

64
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: So I'm less concerned about them like calling it tackles

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: as the inconsistency of when they're calling them from game

66
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 4: to game, from.

67
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: From official to official.

68
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: That's I think that's.

69
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: The thing that we're all worried about heading into Magic Ground,

70
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 4: that we're just going to have the repeat of what

71
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: we saw in twenty one, and that's the last thing

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: the game needs.

73
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 8: We're actually sitting arguing over the force. Well, it wasn't hard,

74
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 8: but isn't it if you hit him in the head,

75
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 8: you hit him in the head.

76
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 9: It's the fairness of the Gordy you showed last night

77
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 9: the knee in the head, right, there's no excuse in

78
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 9: the world that the bunker missed that. Everyone that watches

79
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 9: that game sees that happen, and the injustice and the

80
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 9: unfairness of it. And even though it was the same

81
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 9: team that got lost to Bloke A tackle later, is

82
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 9: that you look at the second that the tackler of Montoya,

83
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 9: it doesn't warrant a sinbin if Tupereneurs doesn't.

84
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: And there's no way in the world they miss that.

85
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: You can't miss that the Burden one in the same

86
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: game that the.

87
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 9: Burden one when they called up the game and showed

88
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 9: that and put him on report, yet they didn't send

89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 9: him to the sinbin. How the hell, How the hell

90
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 9: is that not synbin if we're seeing all these other

91
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 9: ones that are synbind In the South Sydney game, there

92
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 9: was a crusher tackle, you know, that's head contact. Memozulas

93
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 9: was on the ground. I think it was trently Erro

94
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 9: did the tackle. He's sitting there, he's holding his neck.

95
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: No penalty.

96
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 9: It's the fairness of it all. There's no fairness at

97
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 9: the moment.

98
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Fair to be fair, ABDA come on last night admitted

99
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: they got it wrong and said there will be immediate change.

100
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: So as much as yeah, I agree with you Cross,

101
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: you know they've been getting it wrong. You know, I

102
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: do question the no crackdown by the NRL, and I

103
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: think Desi's right there, there's been a crack like that

104
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: because the players haven't changed the way that they play

105
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: that much for the amount of penalties that have been given,

106
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: synbins and reports and you name it. So they're definitely

107
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: refereeing differently too. And I mentioned that to Andrew last night.

108
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: It's not just the bunker, you know that they are

109
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: giving more head EIE penalties that shouldn't be and there's

110
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: definitely more synbins that shouldn't be.

111
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: Full credit to Abdoor to be able to say that,

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: you know, to admit that they got it wrong. You

113
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: know what I'm interested in is what he said in

114
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: all his interviews yesterday, is how much reach the bunker

115
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: is going to have during Magic Round. Is it going

116
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: to go back and pull up, you know, indiscretions from

117
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: earlier in the in the set. That's going to be

118
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 4: the interesting thing because he seems to think that that threshold,

119
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: as he was calling it, needs to be needs to

120
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: be lifted, and that's going to be interesting to see

121
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: in Magic Round, just where that thresholds at.

122
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 8: The referees are always going to push the envelope. I

123
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 8: think we're missing the point. If they changed the technique

124
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 8: of all the players and they get hit in the

125
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 8: head less, there's going to be less Papa.

126
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: The last couple of nights off because you think the

127
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: players are going to responsible now.

128
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 6: I think tackling techniques really pull that.

129
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 8: Bolly comes in and there's Hazeltin runs, He's got his

130
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 8: rib cage open, and he stands up and hits him

131
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 8: in there.

132
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: That's the one offense. Gordon.

133
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 9: You can't pin this back on the coaches and the

134
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 9: players and tackling technique.

135
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what. Okay, So where they learn? A

136
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 6: year ago?

137
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 9: A year ago, hang on a second last June I

138
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 9: wrote a story Bennett.

139
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: There was so much frustration in the game.

140
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 9: Bennett couldn't bite his tongue anymore, bring me up, and

141
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 9: he wanted to do a story about it because he

142
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 9: was so fed up and everyone in the game was

143
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 9: so fed up. He came up with some really great

144
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 9: ideas right at the end of the season. They sat

145
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 9: weighing down, they said, Ivan Cleary and Ricky Stewart, and they.

146
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 5: Came up with a plan. Well guess what.

147
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 9: They didn't bring the plan into play, and we're a

148
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 9: year down the track and it hasn't got better, mate,

149
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 9: it has got worse. They came up with a plan

150
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 9: that perhaps could have fixed the sinbin problem that we

151
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 9: have at the moment while still punishing high tackles.

152
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: They ignored it.

153
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 9: Andrew Abdo said last night, we might look at it

154
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 9: at the end of the year. They looked at the

155
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 9: end of last year, and they trialed it in a trial.

156
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 9: They spoke about putting regular people in the bunker, right

157
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 9: for regular people that could be there every week to

158
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 9: try and get some consistency.

159
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: Never happened. Never happened, Never happened.

160
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 9: To Mate, reference a game because this could have been

161
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 9: sorted out, or at least we would be on the

162
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 9: right track.

163
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 5: But to me and to many many.

164
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 8: Fans out there, mate, backwards, I used to used to

165
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 8: get penalized if you gave way a penalty. It was taboo.

166
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 8: Now I reckon your coach to give away penalties. That's

167
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 8: why six to go to coming. They don't care how

168
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 8: many penalties.

169
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 9: Believe is coached injured. I would back there, but I

170
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 9: would suggest mate on the try line. Yeah, their coach

171
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 9: to give away penalties and slow down the game and

172
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 9: that sort of stuff.

173
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 5: They probably don't care. But I wouldn't say I like

174
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 5: the only I would like.

175
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 8: I would like every week to challenge every coach to

176
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 8: come down the park and run.

177
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 6: And I hit him in the.

178
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 9: Head the only delivery active.

179
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 8: And I hit him at I said, man, I'm sorry,

180
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 8: I just slipped you know, MAT's up and just see

181
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 8: whether they like it.

182
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: And I don't think that they would.

183
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 8: I didn't like it when I'm playing and now you

184
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 8: see them all getting hit in the head and they

185
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 8: just run, bend your back I.

186
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: Speak to I don't A lot of coaches were on

187
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: the point your I think it's all a lot of

188
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: factors to be to the game, the surface, the interpret

189
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: But but I agree with you, Gordy, because I've been

190
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: writing this for a few years, because you talk to

191
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: coaches about it. Did they think that you know, the

192
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: two players, the two defenders coming in that up high.

193
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: That's a big part of it. So let me ask

194
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: you this, Then, what do you say to those, and

195
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: the great Mic Cronan has been a propeller this for

196
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: a long time. Two in the tackle, I don't mind it.

197
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: But I don't know why we don't even try that.

198
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: Why we don't even.

199
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 8: Consider that because the athletes got two seconds because the

200
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 8: athletes got too good, got too big, too big and too.

201
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 6: That would take it.

202
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: That would take a while to for players to get

203
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: you still, So that's not an off season thing.

204
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: That that's that's a whole.

205
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 9: Fifteen the interchange and everything else comes having an idea.

206
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: It's good enough for me.

207
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 6: Krona haven't appear on the show because there's one on

208
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 6: one right.

209
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 8: And then in my era, the player the balls got

210
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 8: so quick, so I had to be two in a tackle,

211
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 8: and now they play the balls didn't slow down, so

212
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 8: now there's three just to slow it down.

213
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 6: So you don't have as many rocking friends either. And

214
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 6: the leg tackle wasn't getting rewarded.

215
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: Get rid of the sixth to go, which is so

216
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 3: subjective anyway, the tackle.

217
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: It's not just fans that are blowing up though the

218
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: immoral Joey he was feelthy, wasn't he?

219
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 6: And that it was well reported and on TV and

220
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 6: all that.

221
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he put the headset down here.

222
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: I wrote that in The Australian yesterday he with twenty

223
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: look at that look at that head Jesus.

224
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I reckon, I'm bigger than current and he

225
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 6: hits him in the head.

226
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: So that was a send off, wasn't it.

227
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: I thought?

228
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: But this, this story in terms of Joey, like I mean,

229
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 4: it just shows you know, people give Joey, have different

230
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 4: opinions on Joe Jo love the fact that he's so

231
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 4: unfielded and it's such a fan of the game that

232
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 4: he could not call the last twenty three minutes of

233
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 4: that match for Channel nine. He just put his put

234
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 4: his his microphone down after the bole a well, when

235
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 4: it got to Golden Point they trying to engage, he said,

236
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: I hope there's no head highs and then said nothing

237
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: for the rest of the game. To me, that just

238
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 4: sums up the frustration, particularly and former players about what's

239
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: going on in the game.

240
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 9: It's not just former players though, it's the fans too.

241
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 9: You look, you look at any online story that that

242
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 9: talks about the crackdown all the sin bins at the moment,

243
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 9: and the majority of fans feel so frustrated Gordy and

244
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 9: this is what the game can't ignore because people love

245
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 9: rugby league. Well you know what your friends will say,

246
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 9: oh wait, watch the footing next week. They're always back

247
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 9: on watching the footy because they love rugby league.

248
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 6: But they still care.

249
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: That was the dumbest one out of the weekend.

250
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: You know, it just sort of put an exclamation point

251
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 4: on the weekend.

252
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 6: Really, that's a creature of habit. Yeah, because that's what.

253
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 3: It's not even a penalty though, is it.

254
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: It's if it's a penalty, it's only just why does

255
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: he hit him in the head.

256
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 5: To wrap up the ball?

257
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 9: And you're right, it's look he got him high and

258
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 9: he has got his ribs cage there that he But

259
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 9: the fact.

260
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 5: That it's not a sin being Gordy, it has never

261
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 5: been a sin.

262
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 6: Bin get ten of those a game. As I said,

263
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 6: just go down bunk, just get someone. Just keep on

264
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 6: it in your hand.

265
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Do it now.

266
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: It's annoying.

267
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 2: You're pretty outspoken about Latrell Mitchell. It's him been in

268
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: now one week suspension. You don't believe he should have been.

269
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what I don't believe.

270
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 9: I don't believe it's fair that Latrell gets one week

271
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 9: for that and he gets sin binned. And Isaiah Yo

272
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 9: hits Tom Travoyevitch with a swinging arm and again I'll

273
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 9: call him both Rugby League accidents in a way.

274
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 5: But Yo hits him and gets nothing, Mane.

275
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 9: This is it all goes back to the fairness, and

276
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 9: in fairness to Latrell. Litrell's a bloke that is so

277
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 9: polarizing in our game, and so many people love him

278
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 9: and others don't like him.

279
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: But when that tackle happened, there's an immediate blow up.

280
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: Oh he should have been sent off. But when you

281
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 5: actually look at the tackle and Faye Logo.

282
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 9: Comes sliding in different circumstances and Latrell hits him right,

283
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 9: Falgo actually knocks himself out when.

284
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: When his head hits the ground.

285
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: This was careless at all.

286
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's careless.

287
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 9: But what I'm saying is it's the unfairness because then

288
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 9: you get Yo that gets understand that, and that's the problem.

289
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 5: With the game at the moment.

290
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Thought for Latrell's I'd take the week and run.

291
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 9: If that's how I saw it, I saw it differently

292
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 9: because I reckon we've seen accidents in the game forever,

293
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 9: and you'll never get it out of the game unless

294
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 9: you's unless you put on os tag or you put

295
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 9: on touch footy, because it's a collision sport and unfortunately

296
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 9: it's going to happen.

297
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 5: He's sliding on the wet ground there and he and

298
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 5: he's and he's engaged.

299
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 6: Latrell and he was going to pass the ball.

300
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 8: So quick on what he's going to do and the

301
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 8: defenders moving forward when standing there in the defensive.

302
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: I'm happy if he stays on the field and let

303
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: the matter review handle it, you know what I mean.

304
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 4: I just think they're so trigger happy with with sending

305
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: boats to the bin. But then again, the bunker and

306
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: the referees are under instructions from those above them.

307
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: The direction is going to come. What about magic around

308
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: this weekend? What's a pass mark?

309
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 6: Again?

310
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: Andrew Abdo was on sitting right there where you are,

311
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: Cruls and he said, it's not going to be the same.

312
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: They're going to pull back on the bunker. They're not

313
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: going to interrupt the game.

314
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 2: The referees probably won't be as harsh with their judgment

315
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: of high tackles.

316
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: What's a past mark?

317
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 5: Common sense?

318
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 9: Common sense is a pass mark? Like you can't put

319
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 9: a number on what's right and what's wrong. But we

320
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 9: speak about it all the time. The majority of people

321
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 9: will sit down and they will agree what constitutes as

322
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 9: send off, what constitutes has sin bin, and what's a

323
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 9: penalty and what you let go.

324
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 5: We just want to see common sense.

325
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we expecting then, more more so than

326
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 2: a pass mark? Do we think that it's going to

327
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: be a lot different this weekend from the conversation we

328
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: had with the NLCO.

329
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be significantly different.

330
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I think so too, But I wouldn't even want

331
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 4: to try and forecast what it's going to look like.

332
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: Like I mean, honestly, it's so all over the place

333
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 4: at the moment, like I've got no I actually am

334
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: worried about how it's.

335
00:13:59,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 6: Going to go.

336
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: We're not talking about magic round. If we're talking about

337
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: Sinbin's on Monday morning, that's a failure for.

338
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: The Can we live with if the referee misses it?

339
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 9: Yes, for mate, that's what the mat We're always going

340
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 9: to debate the game, mate, We're always going to debate

341
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 9: the game. But they missed the Burton one the other day, right,

342
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 9: I wasn't upset that they missed the Burton one. I

343
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 9: was upset when they saw the Burton one they didn't

344
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 9: Sinbinni all right.

345
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: Circling back to des at the top of the show,

346
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: we're going back there, and the reporter, which he caught

347
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: my eye, am i ear said are you deflecting from

348
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: the last four losses?

349
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: Yes, Daz and Wayne Bennett are the masters of using

350
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 4: the press to distract attention from their team. I've got

351
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 4: no doubt that that's what des has done. I also

352
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: don't understand why he's done his press conference this morning

353
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: or earlier today and not after dropping David Tafita. I

354
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: think that's prettyordinary from Deaz. I know Desert's mind games,

355
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: and I love deserts so much anyone.

356
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: He's done the press conference before, it looks.

357
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 6: Like to me, that looks ridicuous.

358
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 9: He could have been defending his reputation with the fact

359
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 9: that Titans are at the top of the penalty things

360
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 9: and he doesn't think that they're all fair and he

361
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 9: doesn't think they're chemist right.

362
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: You don't think Cruelsey should have spoken after dropping over

363
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: for feeder from the team and explaining it to the

364
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: fans and given the way that they're playing.

365
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: I just think that's I think that's ordinary and I

366
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: see that.

367
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 9: As a different issue though, there's no question in the

368
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 9: world you can't make excuses for the Titans performances this year,

369
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 9: but you can also defend your club.

370
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: Of course.

371
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: But he can do it all with the one press

372
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 4: conference later in the day gime. I know he does,

373
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: but I mean the NRL, I think that's rubbish. I

374
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 4: don't think the NRL should should let coaches, you know,

375
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: dictate when they talk in the week, do it before

376
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 4: the game.

377
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 9: Well, there was a time, there was a time to

378
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 9: where they used to make every player talk every every

379
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 9: three weeks.

380
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 5: Was that they all run their you know what I had.

381
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: About it, because later in the week they're going to

382
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: shove up two players. They're going to have to air

383
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 4: the questions a bit. Why David Ffieda isn't in the

384
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: team and not the coach Surgury.

385
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 6: So that's something about Dave that no one knows. Sure

386
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 6: they had a show.

387
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 8: Sorry, he had an ankle reconstruction and he's struggled with

388
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 8: pain in his ankle.

389
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Has pressure? Is he under pressure?

390
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: Has to be under is his job on the line?

391
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: Do you think they'd be considering other options or has

392
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: he got some time here?

393
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: What do we think? How long has he got? The

394
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: way he's going at the moment is unders well.

395
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 9: They're definitely underachieving, aren't they. And they're and they're throwing

396
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 9: away good leads, which shows that they should be more

397
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 9: competitive over eighty minutes?

398
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 5: Is he under pressure? Who knows?

399
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 9: Like, if you don't win football games, you're under pressure.

400
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 9: That's how it works.

401
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: Surely they've got to be you guys, tell me they've

402
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: got to be doing better than the Tamos.

403
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought I thought would be doing better, especially

404
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 8: this year. This is does his second year. One thing

405
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 8: I know about the organization that they're very loyal. You

406
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 8: haven't heard anything out there? No, I haven't heard anything,

407
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 8: but I don't go there either. The last game I

408
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 8: was there was a couple of weeks ago.

409
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: Probably not going to tell you anyway, because you sitting here,

410
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: Can you please tell them?

411
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 6: I need to break a story?

412
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 7: All right?

413
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the ins and out's around

414
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: nine thanks to sports Bett, and here they are a

415
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: couple of big ones this week is the teams are

00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: on out today white and at five eight Dodd on

417
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: the extended bench, Ily has dropped for the Dragons, King

418
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: Tommy are named at half or five eight, whichever one.

419
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 2: David Fafeeda demoted to the reserves list for the Titans,

420
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: Garner a place in McClean at center for the Panthers,

421
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: and Reynolds chosen for the Broncos despite that shoult Or injury.

422
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: Now we'll get to the Dragons, but quickly, let's talk

423
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: about Lewis Dodd and him not getting a run this week.

424
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 6: What's our take on this.

425
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 5: It's a massive story, really, isn't it.

426
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 9: Like you can't you can't hide from the fact he's

427
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 9: on seven hundred thousand dollars a year.

428
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 5: He's chilling up seven hundred thousand dollars a year. They're

429
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 5: short of halves.

430
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 9: They haven't got Cody, they haven't got Humphreys at the moment,

431
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 9: and he's moved Jack Whiton.

432
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: Why won't they pick Obviously he's not playing well enough,

433
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: well enough, He hasn't played that much well.

434
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 5: He's obviously way in New South Wales.

435
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 6: Doesn't think that he's first grade ready or he's good

436
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 6: enough to play.

437
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 9: He's picked Jack White and at five eight this week

438
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 9: he's moved him from centers.

439
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 5: They're already short Latrell. It suggests to me.

440
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: That he's no Cody, no Latrell.

441
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it is what it is, isn't it. They

442
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: haven't picked him. You can't make excuses for it.

443
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: I remember we talked about this in Vegas on the

444
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 4: on the show when we were there for the start

445
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 4: of the season.

446
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 3: It was always going to be a bubbling issue. It

447
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: just seems to be
