Speaker 1: That of Origin selection just around the corner, which probably
Speaker 1: leads us into a nice little hot take.
Speaker 2: Brent, Reed, you've got one for us.
Speaker 3: Listen, I do my man KP. He's playing Friday Night.
Speaker 3: I just got a feeling he's been a bit, a
Speaker 3: bit of a slow burn the season for KP. I
Speaker 3: he's going to turn it on with Origin around the corner.
Speaker 3: I think Friday night he's going to be a huge,
Speaker 3: monstrous game saying good luck or I spoke to his
Speaker 3: dad today, Chuck. Actually, yeah, did.
Speaker 2: He pass on the regards from uncle Brennan?
Speaker 3: He didn't know. I didn't send my love, but Calen,
Speaker 3: I don't need to send it. He knows. I think
Speaker 3: he's going to turn it on. Baby.
Speaker 1: Is there any concern given Reese Walsh is out, there's
Speaker 1: no concern about KP not playing for They're not going
Speaker 1: to shift Tabio.
Speaker 2: You'd be in the center. You've got to pick.
Speaker 4: KP is going to cry.
Speaker 3: He's the man, He's the many.
Speaker 2: They won't look at at look at a young sta.
Speaker 3: All the controversy drama is in New so Wales. We'll
Speaker 3: get to that, okay, we can, sir. Plenty of trouble.
Speaker 3: There's no dramas in Queens, you.
Speaker 4: Might make a bench of other side of the players.
Speaker 2: They're going for the little man, the little man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are your thoughts on Kurt Man playing that
Speaker 1: sort of Selwyn Cobbo utility not not the fourteen role
Speaker 1: kind of thing.
Speaker 4: I it's it's an interesting one. We didn't in the
Speaker 4: sight obviously. David U had that story yesterday and when
Speaker 4: I saw the headline, I just assumed that Kirkman is
Speaker 4: going to be the bench utility. I was fine with it,
Speaker 4: and then reading the stories like, oh, they're gonna have
Speaker 4: did and too interesting? Small isn't small as well?
Speaker 2: He's done that before Billy though with the bench right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I just I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I don't know how do you.
Speaker 3: Use if you've got kurk Man as you're that bench utility,
Speaker 3: utility who contentially come on and play in the middle
Speaker 3: of the field whatever he does, how do you use
Speaker 3: is didn there is he their break glass? In case
Speaker 3: of right?
Speaker 4: Kirkman will play thirteen. Right, that's that's the role that
Speaker 4: he will.
Speaker 3: Play with didn't play me hooker?
Speaker 4: Could play hooker? Yeah, that's that's that's where you think
Speaker 4: you're playing lest there's another injury, but it'd be hooker.
Speaker 4: And kirk Man has obviously played every position in the
Speaker 4: NROL over his time. That's why he makes sense as
Speaker 4: the fourteen. But yeah, it's an interesting dynamic there. Do
Speaker 4: you like it? On the bench? But what's that? Do
Speaker 4: you like that bench?
Speaker 3: Who else was on that bench that David was Lindsay
Speaker 3: Collins and he a long time and I think Lindsay
Speaker 3: has been a bit down this year, actually had a
Speaker 3: great year, so that concerns me a little bit. But
Speaker 3: aside from that's pretty has got to be in the
Speaker 3: side somewhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you're taller than those blocks.
Speaker 3: What's your point, mate, It's a very different. It's not
Speaker 3: the size of the dog in the fight. The size
Speaker 3: of the fight and the dog men. Just remember this
Speaker 3: is what you've always got to remember when it comes
Speaker 3: to origin.
Speaker 4: You're from Queensland, queens.
Speaker 1: Let's move south and the boarder blues. Can you see
Speaker 1: any surprise?
Speaker 4: What drama? There's plenty of players to choose from. I'm
Speaker 4: like you, guys, there's no drama.
Speaker 3: Too many, there's no drama leaving out Mick.
Speaker 4: I'd leave out Dylan Edwards.
Speaker 3: You would not I picked James another comment I've ever heard.
Speaker 4: I picked him in my squad on the week he didn't,
Speaker 4: did you? But I said this on the show last
Speaker 4: the other week, I said, if you picked Edwards, sweet,
Speaker 4: I'm happy for Like, I'm not.
Speaker 3: Sitting here saying you would drop Dylan Edwards.
Speaker 4: I picked James.
Speaker 3: Pick loyalty when he doesn't matter, exactly, Loyalty doesn't matter,
Speaker 3: Jake to Borovich, Honestly.
Speaker 4: What's your team?
Speaker 2: What about Terrell May? This is.
Speaker 3: Jake, Mitch, Mitch, and Nathan Jerome serious would have been there.
Speaker 3: We all know that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Mitch, after two games, you're happy enough.
Speaker 2: He was a very good last week, Mitch shount up,
Speaker 2: Isaiah Tell.
Speaker 3: James Good was in a sixty four mil thresh. What
Speaker 3: you're saying.
Speaker 4: Southwes and all sorts? Obviously?
Speaker 2: What about Torell May?
Speaker 1: Has been really good for a large part of the season,
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be timing his run to perfection.
Speaker 4: He's an interesting one because if he doesn't play, I
Speaker 4: don't think New South Wales have a debutante for for
Speaker 4: Game one, so he'd be part of that bench rotation
Speaker 4: and under consideration alongside you know, Jacob SEFIEDI.
Speaker 3: You know, did you who was in your turn? Do
Speaker 3: you have Jacobs.
Speaker 4: On the bench?
Speaker 3: I think it's Jake Orrell, and I went with Jake
Speaker 3: because I think he does.
Speaker 4: But then you start, Jake, Yes, you kin'd of have
Speaker 4: Jake off the bench? Yeah, Jake has to start.
Speaker 3: Who's your captain? You're not incumbent captain who won the
Speaker 3: series last year, But you just dispensed with thirty.
Speaker 2: Minutes off the bench?
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: I can lose game one and then and then you
Speaker 4: dropped d C and then we'll see what's going on.
Speaker 3: We lost last year.
Speaker 4: He's a captain, Mate, we missed though we lost.
Speaker 3: Missed the point, mate, Loyalty only counts when you win.
Speaker 3: If you lose, loyalty goes out the window. Sure you won,
Speaker 3: we lost.
Speaker 1: Is it a little absurd to a stick to loyalty
Speaker 1: for a game that was ten months ago with.
Speaker 4: A different coach and a different structure. Doesn't matter, different coach,
Speaker 4: different style play, doesn't see your clueless? If it doesn't matter, Sorry,
Speaker 4: it's a different coat.
Speaker 3: How many serious did we win? A?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 4: You play one game. It's a different coach, different structure.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter, mate, is your captain lifted the shield last year.
Speaker 4: I sawry what it was your heart and soul.
Speaker 3: I'm just going to go nowhere his mate see you Ladder.
Speaker 4: Blues game one picking game two.
Speaker 3: Probably that's generally what happened to Jake. Don't pick him,
Speaker 3: lose and they go to him, to him.
Speaker 2: Who's going to coach the Perth Bears Day one? The
Speaker 2: male was Brad.
Speaker 1: Arthur has already bought his house there, he's already signed up,
Speaker 1: everything's ready to go.
Speaker 4: All of a sudden there Now you had this earlier
Speaker 4: in the week.
Speaker 3: I think we all thought Brad was home and host.
Speaker 3: They're going to go through a process now, and it's
Speaker 3: a three way shootout.
Speaker 2: Love a process.
Speaker 3: Brad. We knew Sam was in the mix, but Big
Speaker 3: Males the one who's come from left field, and he's
Speaker 3: got some support. So I wouldn't put a line through
Speaker 3: a big Mail yet. And I think mail. My dream
Speaker 3: is my dream is mal and Sam and tandem and
Speaker 3: but Melan and Sammy together as part of some form
Speaker 3: of succession plan. I reckon that would be would be amazing.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine the profile they have over there? I
Speaker 3: love it. I love the idea.
Speaker 2: This pains me.
Speaker 4: I one hundred agree with Yes, I think on board.
Speaker 4: I think now is the perfect coach for that. So
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have him coaching any other NRL side, like
Speaker 4: as a head coach, but head coach of the Bears.
Speaker 4: I think it works perfect.
Speaker 1: Twenty years outside of Madam coaching, it doesn't matter because he,
Speaker 1: like I think he's going to need more than Sam
Speaker 1: Burgess as well.
Speaker 4: He's going to need another guy that's been an experience assistant,
Speaker 4: that's been in and around the NRL setup, no doubt
Speaker 4: about it, because.
Speaker 3: Maybe a couple of.
Speaker 4: Three senior assistants. Usually there's two senior assistants and a third.
Speaker 4: He probably needs three senior assistants, I'd say. But Mao
Speaker 4: will do everything in terms of profile. You know, he's
Speaker 4: not a guarantee to sign players, but he's a guarantee
Speaker 4: to get a meeting with everyone that whoever he wants
Speaker 4: to talk to will get that. He's really big on
Speaker 4: community and we've seen him do that with the Kangaroos
Speaker 4: and from the bottom up, and I think all the
Speaker 4: things that this Perth franchise needs off the field, Mao
Speaker 4: will bring it right. And he's good at bringing groups together.
Speaker 4: Is good at doing that stuff, and their hands on
Speaker 4: coaching will be some of the others that he gets in.
Speaker 4: I think he's the most logical appointment.
Speaker 3: He's huge on culture too, and they need to get
Speaker 3: the culture right from day one because they're in a
Speaker 3: turf fight with the AFL, so you need you need
Speaker 3: to have a strong footed club with a great culture
Speaker 3: so that you make sure they don't go the wrong way,
Speaker 3: do the wrong thing. And Mel's big on that as well,
Speaker 3: so you know it'd be interesting. I think we'll have
Speaker 3: a decision next week. I think that you know, it's
Speaker 3: going to be really quick they make this call, and
Speaker 3: I think Mel's I'm hearing Mel's potentially got his nose
Speaker 3: in front now, which is when you consider we thought
Speaker 3: Brad was done and dusted. That's really interesting.
Speaker 4: And we've seen our hostile some of the media attention
Speaker 4: has been over there, and Mal will handle it, looks Bambi.
Speaker 4: Now we'll get on the charm like Sam will handle
Speaker 4: it beautifully, like you know Sam can command it room,
Speaker 4: and you know he's been through through it all before.
Speaker 4: So I think that partnership, that combination with it's got
Speaker 4: to be more to this coaching staff. Right, that's not
Speaker 4: obviously the finished product, but them is a one two
Speaker 4: punch with a few others surround them. I think it's perfect.
Speaker 3: The other huge theme Sam brings is he knows Super
Speaker 3: League and I think they're gonna have to raid super
Speaker 3: League because obviously the player numbers, so he knows super
Speaker 3: League really well. English players love him, respect him, adoreing right,
Speaker 3: So instantly you've got that in your favor. And rugby union.
Speaker 3: Sam knows rugby union as well. I mean he didn't
Speaker 3: have a great stint in rugby obviously, but he's played
Speaker 3: rugby union. He knows rugby union. He'll know players to
Speaker 3: go after. So I think that's where Sam's really advantageous
Speaker 3: for Perth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the good in here is the fact
Speaker 1: that you're a direct flight match England seventeen hours. Rugby's
Speaker 1: going to be careful because you know, they might be
Speaker 1: able to throw some money to keep some of the
Speaker 1: bigger a's, but some really quality rugby players. They're going
Speaker 1: to get their heads turned by this. And I agree
Speaker 1: with your point about Mal that he's the guy that
Speaker 1: he's not going to say anything controversial, but he's going
Speaker 1: to be the guy that he's going to get media attention,
Speaker 1: he's going to keep the Bears at the forefront of
Speaker 1: people's minds, and it's going to be so important when
Speaker 1: you're going to try and sign these guys. I think
Speaker 1: we've seen with Wayne Bennett the Dolphins, and you're going
Speaker 1: to have this figurehead of the Kevin Sheety type at GWS.
Speaker 1: You know, it all works in in that regard.
Speaker 4: With all due respect to Brad, Brad did a lot
Speaker 4: of meter. Brad was always pretty open with the media,
Speaker 4: but didn't seem to come naturally. Didn't love it like
Speaker 4: where you know, and I think maw would just command attention,
Speaker 4: command back pages, command spots on the news, and that's
Speaker 4: what this side is going to need.
Speaker 1: There's a rumor doing the rounds. Well it's not a rumor.
Speaker 1: It's been a call. Brent Rena, need to get your
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. The Brisbane Broncos have been urged to
Speaker 1: ditch their Monica the Bronco and change their name to
Speaker 1: the Brisbane Boomerangs.
Speaker 2: Peter Peter have.
Speaker 1: Put out a release today declaring that the Bronco should
Speaker 1: sack retire Buck the Live Bronco the Live Horse, go
Speaker 1: with the mascot and change their name to the Boomerangs.
Speaker 3: You can't ditch buck. Poor Buck will see the glue
Speaker 3: factory is part of it is part of the fabric
Speaker 3: of the Brisbane Broncos.
Speaker 4: So is the issue? What's the issue of that?
Speaker 3: I think they consider that cruelty.
Speaker 2: They consider it cruelty. You with powrotechniques and the horse
Speaker 2: running around and.
Speaker 3: He looks, ok, I've never seen Buck up set?
Speaker 2: You know him? Well, are you, Wilbur mister?
Speaker 3: It's a bit sense. Been going a bit far from me.
Speaker 2: Should we seen Peter and not let him know what
Speaker 2: a rabbit o actually is? They cross that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I don't think it's.
Speaker 4: Next is going to be the poor boardog leads the
Speaker 4: team out.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Peter do a good all the berries, they
Speaker 3: do a good job. But that's that's going a bit
Speaker 3: too far.
Speaker 2: What do you like about it?
Speaker 3: What I like about that, Peter, Peter? They protect the animals,
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with that. I got a dog.
Speaker 2: I've got a dog.
Speaker 3: A bucket on the seat at the moment, so surgery
Speaker 3: my dogud the bucket on his head. You got you
Speaker 3: got a dog?
Speaker 2: Nos past couple of years, you've.
Speaker 3: Got a dog. You have a bucket on the head.
Speaker 3: It's so annoying. They walk around bumping things. Yeah, they
Speaker 3: come and give you a jump on you. They hit
Speaker 3: you with the bucket. Honestly, the.
Speaker 2: Head up there could be.
Speaker 3: Money in that. Someone needs to come up with a
Speaker 3: better concept than the rigid, firm bucket. There should be
Speaker 3: like a flexible bucket so when he hits it sort.
Speaker 1: Of probably probably isn't going to serve the purpose of
Speaker 1: stopping itches or that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: That There's got to be something better, Peter, there's something
Speaker 3: you should be working on. Leave the broncast alone. Sold.
Speaker 3: The bucket is.
Speaker 2: What to watch this weekend. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: If there was ever a Friday six pm game Knights v.
Speaker 1: Eels might be the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: I'm going up to that game.
Speaker 2: Good luck pumped.
Speaker 1: Dylan Brown's first trip Browcastle since signing the Knights.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on how he's going.
Speaker 3: I think he's he's playing better, right, He's still not
Speaker 3: at the level I think he's been out in the past,
Speaker 3: but I think he's playing I think Mitch has helped him, right,
Speaker 3: Mitch coming back and Dylan Walker and lat you Tip.
Speaker 4: Been doing it for the last three years.
Speaker 3: Is he in your origin team you normally pick him?
Speaker 4: Not this year, Connor Watson? Could you continue.
Speaker 3: So be interesting to see the recept You've got a
Speaker 3: good reception up there, even though he's on the opposition.
Speaker 3: He probably needs to fire up. They don't have a
Speaker 3: good game given the focus that will be on him
Speaker 3: and the amount of money is going to get when
Speaker 3: he goes there. The thirty man.
Speaker 4: Interesting for nine fans if he does come out and
Speaker 4: brain it like it's like one of those ones where
Speaker 4: you go, yeah, well, at least we can see why
Speaker 4: we paid a ridiculous amount of money for him.
Speaker 1: Do you think Paramattas need to go with Newcastle in
Speaker 1: the first half to have any chance because after last
Speaker 1: week's debarcle, Yeah, that was bad.
Speaker 3: You know Adam Well would have reacted to that this week?
Speaker 2: You reckon Well, I don't think.
Speaker 4: I don't know how he would have watched that second
Speaker 4: half That was so bad from Newcastle is embarrassing from him.
Speaker 4: But they went alone in the second half fade out
Speaker 4: last week. It was crazy. But yeah, I don't know
Speaker 4: about the nights. They just keep making The concern for
Speaker 4: him is that they keep making the same errors. I
Speaker 4: saw glimpses in Paramatta's attack last week where you could say, okay,
Speaker 4: you can start and to see where Jason Rowles wants
Speaker 4: to go with this side. They're probably not there yet
Speaker 4: or upscilled enough to do everything that he wants to do,
Speaker 4: but you sort of started to see the board movement
Speaker 4: and the pace and things that they want to do.
Speaker 4: But it's a tough one to pick.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see Tony Mattel sorry, Tony Matali, young
Speaker 1: prop get his start. He had a bit of time
Speaker 1: up at Newcastle, but he's a Western Sydney guy who's
Speaker 1: been working his way bit of an edge forward now.
Speaker 2: Into the front row.
Speaker 1: But Paramatta they've got some injuries there. Their front row
Speaker 1: stocks are a bit short. So Newcastle obviously without Leo
Speaker 1: Thompson that's going to be tough as well. Zach Lomax
Speaker 1: is eighty minutes of football enough to get him in
Speaker 1: origin place right.
Speaker 3: Risky, but I'd put it as long as he gets
Speaker 3: through the game. I put him in. I leave out
Speaker 3: Tye and then who are you sent us? Latrell and
Speaker 3: Tommy Steve Tommy instead of Brian Tyre.
Speaker 2: Which Jacob kraz Oh, Well, that's very dismissing. Wow.
Speaker 3: I think those blokes are ahead of it.
Speaker 4: If you're picking, you're picking the team two weeks ago.
Speaker 4: He's in because of all the injuries, was.
Speaker 3: So good last year. As long as he gets through
Speaker 3: the game this week, and I don't think you're going
Speaker 3: to leave him out. I mean, I think the hard.
Speaker 4: Decision is who's at center?
Speaker 2: Who's it wing?
Speaker 3: Center's fine. I think Latrell after last week has got
Speaker 3: to be there. And I think the issue is when
Speaker 3: you got well, if you're going to fit Tommy in
Speaker 3: the team, it's going to have to be on the wing,
Speaker 3: and that means leaving out either or Lomax. That's the
Speaker 3: tough decision. Loyalty, Maybe Tommy shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1: I don't know what about Bradman Best, what about well
Speaker 1: he brained it last year, won the series?
Speaker 3: Loyalty and Latrell wasn't there for the first two games?
Speaker 3: Was it when you come in?
Speaker 2: Bradman Best was there and one of them helped game.
Speaker 3: This is my point. Same and Nathan Cleary. They weren't
Speaker 3: there because of injury. That was their spot. They weren't
Speaker 3: there because of injury.
Speaker 2: Opinion.
Speaker 3: That's an asterisk. That's a caveat Asterix injured, loyalty rewarded.
Speaker 4: I've gone and Cryton on my wings, on.
Speaker 3: Your wings, plenty of wing, and you've got what Tommy
Speaker 3: and Latro. Really, it's intriguing that has been the best
Speaker 3: sneer in the comp.
Speaker 4: Last three weeks has been outstanding here. I thought he
Speaker 4: was really slow to fut the year to be fair
Speaker 4: for Stephen defensively was really good. Last three weeks has
Speaker 4: been outstanding. But if whatever, if you pick him, I'm
Speaker 4: not going to argue with you.
Speaker 3: Put in one one Crichton and Max and your wing,
Speaker 3: No Lomax.
Speaker 4: Max, that's a toss of the coin that one. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and kra is so close. He's so close. As I
Speaker 4: said two weeks ago, he's you don't like him.
Speaker 3: No, I'm listening to this and thinking, how can we
Speaker 3: win with massive underdogs again? Massive underdogs? You worried, made
Speaker 3: massive underdogs.
Speaker 4: Play for you?
Speaker 3: We can't win? What do you mean and what can play?
Speaker 4: You watched him lately?
Speaker 3: I think it was pretty good A couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 3: wasn't he I'm sure I did sideline for game really good.
Speaker 4: I think it's been pretty poor this year.
Speaker 3: Who's the other senate?
Speaker 2: The Jackson? Purdue? Rob Toyer?
Speaker 4: Rob Roby?
Speaker 3: Does it?
Speaker 4: Rob Toyer? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Play a little bit more footy? Robe it one day?
Speaker 3: Is that good?
Speaker 4: Game two?
Speaker 3: Who did you say?
Speaker 2: Jackson?
Speaker 3: He's good? It's not six? So this week six isn't
Speaker 3: that's his position is a six?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What do you no dramas up in Queens? That's pretty
Speaker 3: where our team picks himself. We can't win anyway, guys,
Speaker 3: Sorry underdogs.
Speaker 2: Code Sports.
Speaker 1: We've been running an exclusive player agent's poll on all
Speaker 1: things rugby league hasn't caused any head ex whatsoever, so
Speaker 1: we'll move straight into it. But one of the questions
Speaker 1: we asked the agents were, what was this strangest request
Speaker 1: you've had from a client? Because let's you know, let's
Speaker 1: be fitnick and some of these agents have to be minders,
Speaker 1: second babysitters.
Speaker 2: To players, So what about this one?
Speaker 1: An agent has revealed that a player wanted four hundred
Speaker 1: tickets for his debut and they use them all.
Speaker 2: How many do you get? Usually more?
Speaker 4: Yet four per game?
Speaker 2: Four hundred, four hundred tickets use them all.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of brothers and sisters, isn't it cousins?
Speaker 1: Well, considering we were looking before and match for milestone
Speaker 1: games fifty fifty that you get two tickets for your family,
Speaker 1: don't you flights accommodation and that's outside the cap, So
Speaker 1: that four hundred, that's who's who's footing the bill for that.
Speaker 3: Well, did they ask for freebie? He's probably the club
Speaker 3: they asked for freebies?
Speaker 1: Well, good question, question alone.
Speaker 2: I want to know.
Speaker 1: One agent said one of the things he had to
Speaker 1: do with was stopping a player from confronting a journo
Speaker 1: who wrote crap about him. You two have been fronted, Really, Peter, really,
Speaker 1: why would you stop the player?
Speaker 3: Shane Spencer's agent didn't stop him the other week when
Speaker 3: he gave it to me.
Speaker 1: It's interesting some of the things that have come up
Speaker 1: with this, including a player's mother wanted a commission from
Speaker 1: a deal.
Speaker 4: There's some good ones. There are some good ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well i'd say that, you know, some folks have.
Speaker 3: Caitlin's father represents him in contract.
Speaker 4: Talk, so it's a little bit different.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure he takes I'm sure he doesn't nothing
Speaker 3: right because they're a very close family. But yeah, that's
Speaker 3: interesting that a mother requested a commission and.
Speaker 1: You're looking into the kalin contract for the fact that
Speaker 1: he's the interal's highest paid player, does not have an agent.
Speaker 3: Doesn't have an agent. Well, he's got an agent for
Speaker 3: his commercial deal, so he's got an agent. He looks
Speaker 3: after his endorsement, endorsements and things like that. But his father, Andrea,
Speaker 3: and him do the actual negotiations with clubs. Tried agents,
Speaker 3: had an agent in the past, didn't go well. So
Speaker 3: and you're really tight family. Obviously, Andrea's als been at
Speaker 3: his side throughout it all, and their view is we
Speaker 3: can handle the negotiation. Other than they're all forced to.
Speaker 3: Caitlin and I spoke to Andre about it. Carla makes
Speaker 3: the final call, but they just feel like they don't
Speaker 3: need an agent. You can't argue with the irrational. He's
Speaker 3: got out and got the biggest deal at the time,
Speaker 3: the highest paid player in the game, So they've done
Speaker 3: a pretty good job.
Speaker 1: Six and a half percent, Mickey of one point three
Speaker 1: million is not bad that you save annually.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot, And it's interesting. You know, I guess
Speaker 4: if you will be interested next time Kalen's off contract
Speaker 4: if he does consider Rugby Union or other clubs. Does
Speaker 4: he look for an agent then, because you know that's
Speaker 4: when it does get super complicated when you've got rival
Speaker 4: offers and you got to arrange to go see him
Speaker 4: and things like that. So that will be interesting to
Speaker 4: see how it plays out next time.
Speaker 1: Now, are you guys familiar with any famous number tens
Speaker 1: in rugby league? Only for the fact that a player
Speaker 1: agent has revealed that a player insisted that if he
Speaker 1: was going to go to another club, he had to
Speaker 1: wear the number ten because it had always been his number.
Speaker 3: So good, take one step one guess.
Speaker 2: Really, I can't think of who it would be.
Speaker 3: Let me think it might have been.
Speaker 2: It might have been, Well, you can't.
Speaker 3: Guarantee it anyway, ken you what do think get picked
Speaker 3: on the bench?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: He wants that.
Speaker 1: Well you could do like the old Bryan Smith, trick
Speaker 1: him and then put him on the bench and are
