WEBVTT - Transfer frenzy

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Daily Telegraph and our podcast. I'm Michael

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Carrianas and joined by the boys. I've got David Riccio Brenting.

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 2>So good to be How are we fellas?

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Are you ready?

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 4>It's super super good. When the Warburgers last night we

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 4>four took the soccer team. Now we had fifty cent

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 4>chicken wings nice. Yes, so you spent one hundred and

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 4>forty four chicken wings er.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 5>What did everyone else need?

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh? He started already. That's a good Dave.

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been busy, but it's good.

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 5>It's regular league, the game that never sleeps.

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>We won't touch on David better because by the time

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>this podcast goes there we might have a decision, so

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll bypass that.

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.480
<v Speaker 5>But a young that you've been all over this week,

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 5>Dave dan gag.

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you had an offer from the Sydney Roosters, but

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>obvios to stay in Newcastle.

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought he was going to go. I really did

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>the an appetite from day to win a premiership before

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>he retires and he had to he had to weigh

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>that up on where the Roosters heading. Coupled with the

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.559
<v Speaker 2>offer of a two year deal against a one year deal,

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>of the Newcastle Knights with a mutual option for a

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 2>second season, which really doesn't give you much guarantee of

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>getting that second season. No guarantee, that's right if you're

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>a player. But ultimately Danes pretty settled up their young

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>family in schools and his wife is working up there also,

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>so he just weighed up that family element and just

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>has decided to stay with the Knights. But as I said,

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a surprise. The Roosters don't miss

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>too many guys. What does it mean for Newcastle? Reading

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>that he's not only turned down the Roosters but turned

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>down a two year guarantee to stay for Newcastles for

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 2>one year with no guarantee of the second season.

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty positive reflection on the coaching up there and

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 3>his belief in the squad. I think he's had a

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 3>really good year, Dane Goego.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 4>They've been a bit inconsistent Newcastle, but he's actually been

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 4>one of their better players this year. Shows no signs

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 4>of slowing down. How old is here to day thirty four?

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 3>That's the worry.

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I think that the twelve I think Newcastle

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>have played this well too to keep him for twelve

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>months guaranteed and then if he's playing like the way

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.119
<v Speaker 1>he's playing now, it's a no brander that he rolls

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>on for a further twelve months. But they minimize that

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>risk that is associated with signing. You know he'll be

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>thirty five next year. A player of that agent, you

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>would have.

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Him in your Queensland team.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 2>We did our origin size are not up. I've got

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 2>him ahead of Valentine Holmes. Yeah, wouldn't. Valentine home has

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 2>been terrible this year and anyone that wants to try

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and tell me that I agree has been playing well

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>has not watched anything.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't disagree.

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't disagree Mick. But something happens when Valentine puts

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a Queensland I agree. Same with don't go to the past.

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>He's been in poor not as bad as U plays

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>for Queensland and scores tries.

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 3>He's so far out.

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 4>For the reason I asked is that's a reflection on

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 4>how well Dane Gago has been playing.

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Not an indictment.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 5>Last year was it one of the great raps on day?

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>And Gagoy is two things. One he rarely misses games.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>If you go through his career, he's playing twenty games

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>plus it will be a three out of gamer potentially

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>by the time. Yeah, if he sees in most seasons.

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>The second point to that is, despite the fact that

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.959
<v Speaker 2>he's thirty three turning thirty four, is he doesn't miss

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>training sessions. And that's what the Roosters loved about him,

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>given the vacuum of outside backs that they're going to

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>suffer at the end of this year, is they dropped

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Day and Gaga into the system and they know they're

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>going to get a twenty gamer who's going to train

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>every session and then teach their next crop of young

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 2>outside backs. How it would have worked. However, that's obviously

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>not going to happen. But yeah, I think I think

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>the Knights have got to win here, big win because

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>of you can't come across experience. It's rep players who's

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>playing at the level of what Dan is. You don't

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>come across them every every game. Every week.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll go into ours and size probably a bit more

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>in depth next week.

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 5>But who are your queen Land Sanders?

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 4>I think Vowl and the Hammer. I just think vells Billy.

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Billy is a law type of guy, right, I think he.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Hasn't played Josh pupp Lee, Feliceafusi, Danga guy all that,

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>he's you know, your team well, he's been mainstays in

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of years that he sort of eaged

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>out the door.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>But those guys are a bit older.

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Bell's not coming towards the end of

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 4>their career where you've got to phase Val out.

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean Bells still yeah, yeah, yeah, he's still young enough.

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 4>He's going to be there for a few years yet.

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 4>His goalkicker too, which is important. And he's a goalkicker

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 4>because who's the other goalkeeper kicker daily Maybe Yell is

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 4>probably the best kicker.

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 5>So he hasn't even kicked all this year.

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 3>He hasn't done anything well this year. But I just

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 3>would be stunned if Billy left him out because he's

0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Vale home.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Who did you go?

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I did vow and the hammer on the basis that,

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>as I said, I've seen Val do this before. He's

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 2>had a bit of a flat season and then he

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 2>pulls the Queensland jump on and no doubt just play

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 2>so well. And the fact that they went away from

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 2>day last series is the decision that led me back

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 2>to Val. It feels like they may have. I wouldn't

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>say that they've closed the curtain on it and moved on,

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 2>but they did move on last year.

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 3>Do you need to move on in Origin?

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, I can play Set and Comma on the centers.

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 4>If they don't want to pick Vale there, pick another winger, but.

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 3>You can play someone's been outstanding in the centers.

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I think from Brisbane, so I would have thought he's

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 4>here a done gago as well potentially as the senatece.

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if they even flat with our gone back

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to the wing, considering how.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Potentially shout me. Thanks, thanks for giving us some ideas,

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Billy helping us out.

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 2>We're going good Blade, Flonga and others you're across this week, Dave,

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 2>we'll just run through all your stories this week for

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>them all.

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>But Blaze testing the open market, had an option. We

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>speak about options. He had an option. Yeah, he's a

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>way for next season. Is intimated to the Eels that

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>he won't to take that up. Where do we see

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Blaze's future?

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look, nineteen years of age, obviously a really strong talent,

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>local junior from the paramounter Reels, and the Eels want

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 2>to keep him. They have offered him a new deal

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>and he extended upgrade on twenty five, twenty six, and

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven for Blaze. However, he did have this option

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 2>or trigger in his contract to trigger the twenty five season,

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 2>of which he's decided not to trigger and take himself

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.359
<v Speaker 2>to the open market. I don't think he's going to

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>be short of offers, guys, but it just it's a

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>little bit concerning if you're a paraffine when you see

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>such a young kid not just sticking strong and going

0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.239
<v Speaker 2>with the club.

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Have they worked out his best position yet? Well, I

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 4>think he knows where he wants to I think he's

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 4>a six, right. He played, He's played a lot of six,

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:07.559
<v Speaker 4>played a bit of center.

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 5>We can't do that.

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Hasn't played a lot of fullback, and they're playing in

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 3>a fullback this week.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>He can't do that a parent, right, and you'd assume

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that he can't play in the centers next year.

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there as well.

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 4>I'man for you know, if you consider yourself. I think

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 4>they're trying to say wants to be a fullback, right suggested,

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 4>hasn't played a lot of fullback.

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 3>In his life.

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 2>We're going to get a great look at it tomorrow,

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>a great look at it.

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>So I can sort of understand him looking around.

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Given they bought out the top, they blocked his path

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 4>with Dylan, they brought out at the top of him

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 4>with Zac Lomax. If you're a kid looking at that

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 4>situation and the club has promised to the world, you know,

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 4>we see you as our future, then you go and

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 4>buy Zack Lomax at the top of him and you

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 4>block it, block his path with Dylan Brown. I can

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 4>understand the guy actually looking around and see what's out

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 4>there for him.

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 3>If that's if his preferred positions are covered by other players.

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 2>So the only concern for that readman, and I think

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>you're a spot on. The only concern is that clubs

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 2>wanting to buy Blaze actually haven't seen him in the

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 2>position that he wants to play.

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 3>They would have because they would have seen not a

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 3>kid who has come from nowhere clubs.

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 2>So let's just say he's blowing the lights out at

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>five eighths right for the Eels and he and he

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>still wants to move on, Well, there'd be there'd be

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 2>mass interest in him and he would be able to

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>demand big money. But because we haven't seen that in

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the n r L, him testing the market. Yes, I

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>get that, but I don't know if he's going to

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe get the excessive amounts of doors that he may

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>get had we know what position he actually belongs to.

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Paying for potential, let's just a hypothetical. You're the dragons,

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>just the total hypothetical.

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 5>Here, and you want him to be a six.

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're paying for upside, You're not for something that

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you've seen in first grade.

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 2>So that Galvin is a great example. We know that

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 2>now this guy's an inn role play.

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, good point.

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 4>He can come. I'm sure he can come. I'm sure

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 4>that deals not off the table of Paramatta. I mean

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.679
<v Speaker 4>if it doesn't, if it looks elsewhere, you can always

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.599
<v Speaker 4>come back. I don't think it necessarily leave paramatter. I

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 4>don't think that's a fair to complete. I think he

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 4>just wants to see what's out there. His management do

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 4>see what's out there and weigh it all up and

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 4>then make an educated decision on where his future should they.

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Paramatta is obviously in the news and we'll be they

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>had to buy last week.

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 3>So this is your favorite subject.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not my favorite subject at all.

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 5>But where do we see the stop it?

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Where do we see the future for Brad as obviously

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>something Brad Arthur the Cave. There's some suggestions around recruitment

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and retention and the like. Where things are around Paramat

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>at the moment, really well, I.

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 4>Think there's pressure on, right, I didn't think that's pretty clear.

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, if they missed the eighth this year, I

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 4>think most people assume Brad will be gone.

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 3>But by then it's going to be too late. I mean,

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 3>I think a.

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Lot of people think, and you you're chief among them,

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 4>who think Wayne Bennett's ready made. That's what a Paramatter's

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 4>ready made for Wayne Bennett to come in.

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>And there so there's no well that's the problem. So

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 3>what do you do then?

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure Paramatic could turn around at the end of

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 4>the year if they miss the eight and go, well,

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 4>there's no one better than Brad.

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Decision, Well, that's that's likely to happen to me, they

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.559
<v Speaker 2>can't do that. So where would you like them to

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 2>move to? Because can you rule Wayne Banner that's not happening.

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>So where are they're going to move to?

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>They've got paramatter of two options in a way, right,

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>they can go, We're going to blow up the joint.

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Now we'll get rid of Brad, blow up the joint,

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>move a those senior players on and start the process fresh.

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Right, that's too hard. You can't give senior players, not

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 3>all of them.

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 2>But it's not too hard because those bakes are still sellable.

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like you know, move on your captain at the

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 3>end of the year.

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm just saying these are their options.

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Right, that's not that's not a realistic option.

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Then they go on, or they stick with the players

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.079
<v Speaker 1>that they've got and then go all in the next

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>two years and try and fine tune that roster a

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit.

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't buy the fact that.

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 3>You're saying either way it's without Brad.

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Has to be without Bread if they don't make the age,

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I think to mix first point, I think there'd be

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 2>a natural attrition anyway from from Brad leaving. I think

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>they'd be there's so many loyal players to Brad after

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 2>at that club.

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 5>Well maybe that's what they need.

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>So therefore the club won't actually have to make decisions

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 2>on the players. The players will make decisions for themselves

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 2>that they don't want to play for the next coach.

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.560
<v Speaker 3>With The issue is they might leave, it's so late

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 3>to make a call that.

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 5>Teams find space for someone like killing Garthursen's on the mark.

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to cut lose Gutha. Are you serious.

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying, if it doesn't.

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 4>Matter who the coach is next year, you you're often

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 4>described as their best player, so they're going to You're

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 4>saying they should cut loose.

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 3>To if Brad leaves, he won't leave. Where's he gonna

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 3>go signing now, I'm not saying he's unsignable.

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 5>People would move.

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 2>If he came to the market in November, people would

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>find space for him straight away.

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 3>That's the case.

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 4>Paramattal let him go if that, If that, if he's

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 4>that in demand.

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 5>Because they just haven't that they've under achieved.

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 3>So something that's your captain, something is wrong, best player.

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that's what I would do. I said

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>there's two options for them to go down. There's two

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 2>paths to go down. You blow it up completely and

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you start again.

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Because I didn't think that's realistic with.

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 5>Param matter, you're going to have to do that in

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:34.679
<v Speaker 5>the next two years.

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 4>As Dave said, there'll be a natural attrition, not with

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 4>the coach going I think, but with players.

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Correct coming to the end of the contract. You're going

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 3>to have to just roll them over.

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 5>To regenerate that roster within two years, no doubt. Right.

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 5>That's why I still think Wayne is the best for

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 5>him because they can go in with.

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I told you, Wayne, if they listened to me for

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 2>six months ago, that's what I would. I'm going to

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>give you a theory on why Wayne Bennett's no chance

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>of Paramatta give us, and that is that the paramount

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 2>of management structure are an all inclusive structure where they

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>have a recruitment retention committee and they have from chairman.

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't want to sit That's right, they wouldn't. That's right.

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>This is a chairman, CEO, head of every coach, every club.

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 2>People smash this paramount of recruitment. But I'm not bagging that.

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>You're missing my point. What I'm saying is is they

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.559
<v Speaker 2>want the inclusivity with the head coach. They won't won't

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 2>give them that, So why would they appoint a coach

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I won't give them that? It won't happen. I think

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I think Wayne's got the stature in the game that

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 2>he can do what he wants for to and I

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>agree he does think that football club likes inclusivity, the issues.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 3>I just moved to slow, move too slow, that's issue.

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about Paramatta's retention and recruitment. Which club doesn't

0:13:59.000 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 2>have one of them?

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Look at Melbourne arguably the private point.

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 4>Melbourne got a recruitment committee that's got Frank Pinissi, Paul Barney, one,

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 4>Craig Bellamy. I think roricks on it.

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Anyone that learns that the coach is not having significant

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>say on the paramount Rosto is the looted.

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 4>And they've said over and over again Brad makes the

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 4>ultimate decision.

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Does and anyone that thinks otherwise.

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I want to argue that Craig in

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 4>Melbourne actually has less power than Brad when it comes

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 4>to recruitment because Craig can get overruled. Look at the

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 4>Tavita Pangua situation right now. Interesting Craig's interested in other

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 4>people at the club aren't convinced. So that's I think Craig.

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 4>He probably just goes okay, boys, let's move on to

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 4>someone else. I do you surprise you because it respects

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 4>the people who are in that meat, in that in

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 4>that room.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Just on paramatter. And Brad Arthur, I think he will know.

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll make the He'll know when he's it's

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 2>time to go, you're going to walk. I just think

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I just well, that's what Buzz alludes to the other

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 2>he knows that as soon as that it's at the

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 2>point of no return, he'll go. He's been eleven years,

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 2>he knows, he knows the football club. He doesn't want

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to sink the club.

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Still, don't give me an alternative. Coach can't throw one year?

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Jason Ross.

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I think that that coach need that group

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 2>with the senior players. You're cleaning them out.

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 5>With the senior players that they've got.

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I think they need an experienced case.

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 3>So there's no one. Well, Brad's an experienced coach. Did

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 3>you know? Did you not read the back page of

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 3>the paper?

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Jason Demetrio, I don't know if I'm with all respect

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 2>to j D, I don't know if I'm sacking I

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I'm sacking Brad and picking up the

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:50.359
<v Speaker 2>coach straight away.

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 3>That probably I probably agree with.

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 2>He's just giving he needs to be more time away,

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 2>give a little bit and reinvent himself. Guys. I'm just

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:03.800

<v Speaker 3>the problem just like that. You're in, I'm in.

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Well you touched on JD Jason Demetrio, Dave you have

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a chat with him yesterday?

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 5>Erstley, how's he?

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 2>How is he? It's look, you've just been asked from

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 2>a twenty four to seven job, right. It's amazing how

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>your world just stops after being a head coach. I mean,

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 2>these guys are twenty four to seven video phone calls,

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:06.959
<v Speaker 2>player managers, see players relationships with them, that's without coaching

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>relationship with and suddenly the phone just it's incredible, that's right.

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.679
<v Speaker 2>And I got to say he's in a pretty good

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>frame of mind. Hey, look he was really upbeat, more concerned.

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 3>About the same outfit on.

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 5>Watching on YouTube.

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>But the way he carried himself that morning outstanding. Is

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.400
<v Speaker 1>nothing that I've seen before from a coach that understood

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.119
<v Speaker 1>why the media were there. He got the significance of

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the story, wasn't surety, said a few things and then

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>said guys, enjoy your day, thank you, and I'll get

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>went home and coached his daughter's footy team.

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, under four junior rugby league team. Interesting point

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and this is the credit to the man. There were

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>people within the football club that suggested J Dre's there's

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 2>a media pack out the front, go around the back

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 2>way and we'll get a car, or we'll get you

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>to your car away from the cameras. And he said

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 2>to them, well, I've got nothing to hide. I'm going

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:17.639
<v Speaker 2>I'll go out there and answer a few questions and respectful.

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 4>It was quite funny because I was out there most

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.680
<v Speaker 4>of the day and you saw there. I was behind

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 4>him coming from the back.

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 3>That's because I was sitting there having coffee, just waiting,

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 3>and suddenly this bloke walks past his It was J D.

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I went JD. Then I realized a better chase this

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 3>blake because of a camera's just surround him and he

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 3>was fantastics.

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.160
<v Speaker 4>Such a good blake. Yeah, guys like that you want

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 4>to see succeed. You want to see them go. Well,

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 4>you want to what she want us to see him

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 4>back and coaching because he's such a good fellow. He's

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.639
<v Speaker 4>so good to deal with. And look, he's got a

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:51.680
<v Speaker 4>clearly he has ability.

0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 2>He made the point he made the point in the

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>interview that that not only did they go to the

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>pre limb so there's been there's all talk about trying

0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.160
<v Speaker 2>to take over from Bennett, they went to the prelim. Right.

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a tick that proves that he broke

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.919
<v Speaker 2>the curse of Wayne Bennett. Right. He then went the

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 2>first twelve rounds, leading the competition by beating Bennett, Bellamy

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>and Ivan Clearing in three straight weeks in the rounds. Right,

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the guy can coach, There's no denying a god can coach.

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Then injuries, external internal influences began to take hold of

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:35.680
<v Speaker 2>which he admits he learnt so much from as far

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 2>as how to manage internal and external noises, of which

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.119
<v Speaker 2>he believes that that challenge itself. Can we also remind

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>ourselves the size of this South Sydney club, Whatever next

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:52.360
<v Speaker 2>club he goes to, except for the Broncos Roosters, right,

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 2>he will not He will not have the magnitude scrutiny,

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 2>scrutiny and spot of what it is to coach.

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>South What's his path back? Is it an assistant coaching

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 1>roll Super League?

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 5>Is it?

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't think he's a guaranteed to walk straight

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 2>into a head coaching job. No, I don't think. I

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 2>think that would be his goal.

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 3>But I don't.

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I think you have to be realistic and I don't

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 2>know what that is to me.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't think.

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. I don't think you go back to

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 2>the UK.

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Maybe he follows the Seabolt path and Seebs was an

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 4>assistant with Eddie Jones, assistant in Newcastle and found a

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 4>way back. Eventually a club took a chance on him,

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 4>so you know he does have He played in England

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 4>and the coach over there just played.

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.439
<v Speaker 5>He wasn't a head coach in the Super League, so.

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean maybe England. And how old are his kids,

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 3>honestly high school students?

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Don't think I think there's an element of hang on

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 2>a second, I have.

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Done that.

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Needs to prove myself, you know, unless.

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, why would you just go and be an assistant

0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 3>coach somewhere for a while.

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think just so he's stilling the system at all. Yeah,

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 2>you've got to stay relevant, You've got to stay in the.

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:07.639
<v Speaker 4>He's been at the Cowboys before. They could do some

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.119
<v Speaker 4>help at the moment the way that they're going.

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 5>Well, you touched on the Cows What is going on there? Hey,

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 5>hang on a se did you say as an assistant.

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's honestly, at what point is this football club

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.360
<v Speaker 2>not reassessing where they're heading with.

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Toddy, with Todd?

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 5>What is going on there?

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 3>I think that's forgotten. How to defend?

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 4>They didn't couldn't defend last year either. They've been hopeless

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 4>at times. It started the year so well.

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Queensland Cup side last week they.

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 5>Did, they were Dolphins, but.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 4>The first three or four weeks they were leading the convent.

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:44.120
<v Speaker 4>They after three or four and there was a soft

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 4>drawer that a soft soft.

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Draw away in the year.

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.399
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they've got a false in security because they've been

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 4>abysmal ever since. They've just been so inconsistent, and there's

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 4>so much talent in that roster. There's such a talent roster.

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 4>They should be playing top They should be in the

0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 4>top eight. They should have been last year, they should

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 4>be this year. But obviously they're just defensively abysmal.

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 5>Does the pressure me are on tight?

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Or of course it does. It's got it. We're talking

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 3>about Brad. I mean, you know he said if they

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:16.879
<v Speaker 3>miss the again this year, yeah, he's got to be

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.119
<v Speaker 3>under the microscope. There's got to be scrutiny on him.

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 2>So they had at one point win I have a Newcastle.

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 2>In round two, they beat.

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Saint Georgia, Laura, Yeah, that's a soft draw.

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Right then the Broncos pounded them, right then they beat

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the Titans. Right then Paramatta beat them, yep. Then the

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Sharks smacked them, you know, Panthers beat them. That was

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a close game twenty six twenty and then last week

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins took care of him. This is a huge game, guys.

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 4>There is a big game on Sunday.

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Where is that game?

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 2>You don't think we're going to be who wins that one?

0:22:57.840 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 4>I think I tiped the Cowboys, but with no can

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 4>in confidence in either of those teams.

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a fair point, really, but I must say

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 2>it's time to start to turn the wheel.

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 3>But the day with feet, that thing has been going

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 3>on all week. You wonder how that's going to impact them,

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 3>how it's going to impact Dave.

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Check Towns back for the Cowboys helps, but no confidence

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>whatsoever in this Cowboys side. That was I think was

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 2>highly embarrassing, and I think internally they're starting to seriously

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 2>have a look at themselves. The way they'll beat up

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:25.960
<v Speaker 2>by that Dolphins.

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 4>They're so lucky they're up in towns, will right, They're

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 4>not imagine imagine that exactly.

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 3>They would beginning to ham.

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:35.639
<v Speaker 5>Todd Payton.

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 4>But they're up in towns with a bit of out

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 4>of side, out of mind, which is the pressure on

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 4>Todd and that group.

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 3>But they're about to get hit by Origin too.

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:50.680
<v Speaker 4>They'll lose Nanni val Ruben Cotter, if there's injuries, maybe

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 4>they lose dead and.

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 3>At some point. Yeah, so they got a tough month coming.

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Up, Robson potentially, robs potential And the other side that's

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:00.920
<v Speaker 1>been a erratic this year is your Warriors.

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Dave's going on that I can't get my finger on

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 2>this look there's been a bit of a factor of injuries.

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I've played a role that Cap was a key signing

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 2>for them. He's missed a couple of games, he's come

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 2>off the field with an injury and games. I think

0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 2>that the injury to metcalf upset their spine and ambitions

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 2>to start the year.

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 5>I think Sean Johnson.

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Isn't clear clearly isn't playing the football of which he

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 2>was last year.

0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:26.680
<v Speaker 5>That is the point for mine.

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:29.399
<v Speaker 1>The biggest difference for the Warriors at the moment is

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the lack of Polish game management, end of sets that

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Sean Johnson was able to produce last year that he's

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 1>not producing this year. And you know, they're forwards are

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.159
<v Speaker 1>still doing a job and marching up the field. That

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of opportunities against the Knights. They got

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>down the Knights and pretty consistently, but they just didn't

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>throw anything at him with the football. And I think

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot comes down to on Seawan Johnson's shoulders, because

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>as you alluded to, he's not produced what we saw

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>saw from him last year.

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 4>They're almost the flip side of New and North Queens

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 4>and they're not North Queens. Queensland's defenses let them down.

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 4>The Warriors attacks let them down.

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:13.160
<v Speaker 3>The gap if you look at them defensively, the Warriors,

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 3>they've been pretty good this year.

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 1>They're not as far off as a Cowboys, you know,

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the Warriors there is what North Queensland

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and probably Paramatter are at the moment.

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:23.199
<v Speaker 2>They're not.

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>They're not as far off from challenging back.

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 3>But it starts entering dice tras. They don't start wating

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 3>because if they're not top performing, they're not top for me.

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 3>They can't. They can't win it. They're not top four

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:38.679
<v Speaker 3>for me. It's too hard. No one can win it

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 3>basically if they're not I think.

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 4>I saw that the Broncos could finish out the top four,

0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:45.360
<v Speaker 4>get right on back and they can make a run

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 4>at it.

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:47.640
<v Speaker 3>But I don't think the Warriors can. You can't not

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:48.400
<v Speaker 3>not you know.

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:51.720
<v Speaker 2>The Roosters on Sunday, it's a big game. It's a

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 2>huge game and I was just thinking about last year

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:58.479
<v Speaker 2>if this, if this game was drawn, we're probably all

0:25:58.480 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 2>tipping the Warriors.

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 4>The four that they were in almost tipped the Warriors.

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 4>This week, well, had a feeling there is a red hot,

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 4>but just had a feeling, you know, just feeling fell

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 4>at the Warriors. At some point they're too good to

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:12.400
<v Speaker 4>keep playing the way they are.

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Flying up the name, which we haven't say, I think

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 2>people saying since twenty nineteen.

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 3>I didn't tip them. I said almost, we're just having

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 3>to go. We're having to go.

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, you're just embarrassing.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 2>It's a good games this weekend, Jesus, A good game.

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>We're touching on size and a bit of radic at

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the moment.

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Where do we rank Tigers starts this year?

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:37.439
<v Speaker 3>Can we come on slack? Seriously?

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 4>They're better football team this year. You don't think they've

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 4>been a better football team this year.

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 5>They're definitely better.

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.120
<v Speaker 3>They definitely said better than what they were.

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 2>The results aren't showing that.

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 5>The results are not showing it because.

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.160
<v Speaker 3>They haven't been the last five weeks.

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:49.920
<v Speaker 5>They haven't been better.

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>They haven't been able to string for very few performances

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 1>or eighty minutes. They can't find eighty minutes.

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 2>But they are a better side they were last year,

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 2>but have to games no otherwise.

0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 4>But it's a gradual process, right and they won the

0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 4>Wooden Spoon last year and the year before, so it's

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 4>not going to happen over No, I don't know what

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 4>people thought off the one played well during the season,

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 4>that's something they were going to be.

0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I think people I would have thought they would have

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:17.399
<v Speaker 2>won more games.

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, they'll probably end up hopefully at the end of

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:21.360
<v Speaker 3>the year, the end more than last year.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, the way they go at the moment, they are

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 4>But so what would that say, Well, that would say

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:28.919
<v Speaker 4>that they've improved and.

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Mate, they've got with all due respect, have you seen

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that South like the Dragons can't beat South and.

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:40.240
<v Speaker 2>You've got a funny one one game Brandy Alexander tipped

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 2>South to Boat Saints.

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Did you said about.

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what Brandy has been in Japan for

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.639
<v Speaker 2>the last few weeks. He went and got ship of

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Psyche for South. It was over there.

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:52.679
<v Speaker 4>I think I think the criticism of Toy is a

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 4>bit off the mark. I think it's a bit harsh.

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 4>They haven't got better from last year.

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 5>I think it's I don't think it's over.

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's criticisms warranted of where they're going,

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think where they're going, of where they're

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:07.399
<v Speaker 1>at at the moment.

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Rights kicks that goal. They have got one win on

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 2>the board have lost one game and that was it.

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 2>They played like he didn't like. The criticism is warranted,

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think they're going anywhere near as bad

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:23.399
<v Speaker 2>as they happened the last couple of years.

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 3>And Rich has just got his feet under the table.

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Benji is going to do with the witch's hats out

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.920
<v Speaker 3>on the foot field. He's changed the changing the ross

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 3>to day. It's a process. Let's talk about the process.

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Give him some time. He's been there two seconds. Give

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 4>him some time.

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Benji's only been the head coach, and he was there

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 3>last year and he probably was probably was coaching the side.

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm sitting somewhere in between here of your criticism and

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 2>your optimism. I think there's a middle ground.

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm not who've got the few of the pragmat I'm not.

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 2>As critical as that, but I think I'm not a

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 2>misstic that they've turned the corner yet.

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying they've turned the corner. I'm saying they're better,

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 4>and give them time. It takes time.

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 3>When you've been where they are doing four a decade,

0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 3>you can't expect overnight success. It will take time.

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 2>So what about this weekend against the Newcastle.

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Night, Well tip them be about tipicate as well the Nights.

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 5>If the Nights win, that's huge.

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Three from three without huge, and if they can somehow

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>get in a position that they're competing for a top

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>eighth spot when Kalen gets back in what ten weeks time.

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 3>I think their goal, my understanding was the goal was

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 3>to win it. If they thought if they could.

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Win five of those ten games and then Carlyn comes

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 4>back to be pass make the three already three to

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:46.760
<v Speaker 4>three unbelievable.

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Ever, men, you just touched on Richo just having a

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 2>major influence in turning that club around. The big biggest

0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 2>question of all is Sefano.

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Sense the process though Stefano, that's the biggest question.

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's going to be like when once that story

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 2>hits on what he does. That will provide a lot

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:05.720
<v Speaker 2>of clarity around that rockster.

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:07.719
<v Speaker 4>I reckon their rank out sorry is to keep him

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 4>at the moment rank out side. I don't think as

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 4>it stands right now, the Stefano will be there next Well,

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 4>he might be there next year because of the clause.

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 4>If he is there next year, I don't think you'll

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 4>be there the year after. Yeah, I agree with that,

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:22.760
<v Speaker 4>unless there's a dramatic change in some way.

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't there an indication that they're going to put a

0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 2>long term dealt Yes, yes, but that still may not

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 2>be because you would think that if he's available to

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 2>talk to other clubs rival clubs, is still going to

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 2>put a long term deal.

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's interesting.

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:39.719
<v Speaker 4>Just one of the clubs he was linked with was Penrith, obviously,

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 4>but if they signed Dave for feed, he can put

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:45.280
<v Speaker 4>a line through Penrith, But then maybe the gold cust

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 4>centers the equations.

0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>So I just think that'll give us a great indication

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 2>on the trajectory of the tiger, if one of the great.

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know that it will Dave, because I

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 4>think Stefano's mind was made up a long time before.

0:30:57.800 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 4>It's been made up for a while. Clauses in Yes,

0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Stefano. I don't think.

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Look, if they convincing to stay, it's a great endorsement

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 3>for the carbon. But in my mind, well from what

0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 3>the way I understand it, it doesn't matter. I think

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Stefano wants to look elsewhere.

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So surely if you were if that was the case

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>six months ago this time last year, when things were

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 2>SHAMBOI and Benji's come in and you're happy your your

0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:26.320
<v Speaker 2>mind could change.

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 4>I think, well, I don't think it would take a

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 4>significant shift for the mind to change.

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I don't think there's been a significant shift.

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 4>I think there's been a shift, a positive shift, but

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure it's enough.

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 2>They have signed, and Louiu.

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Was a good signing for them. They snuck under the

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 3>guard of the dragons and.

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 4>Whoever else was in for him to signing was another

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 4>positive signs an upwards but.

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Pod question Chris wants.

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Sousini recruitment targets Cody, Walker and Cook move on early

0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>due to high price tag and future succession planned. Can't

0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 1>see Bennett keeping a thirty four and thirty two year

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>old for three years. Well, I don't think they'll be

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 1>keeping him for three years. They're both contracted for a

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 1>further twelve months. I'd be shocked if Wayne moves Cody on.

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that will happen.

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I think I don't think they'll resigning though.

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they'll resigning, but he'll become a year

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.040
<v Speaker 1>by year proposition. I guess if Wayne gets in there

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and how whatever, the coach just gets in there and

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>has a look, and Damien cooks an interesting one.

0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 5>I think he wants to retire Rabbit.

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I think they've spoken about a transition post football of

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>staying at the club and working in a role there

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:44.560
<v Speaker 1>that what does that mean if he goes elsewhere.

0:32:44.240 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 2>For twelve months or twenty four months?

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:48.120
<v Speaker 1>How do you balance that You're you know, a guaranteed

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 1>job post footy to extend your NRL career elsewhere for

0:32:51.960 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 1>twelve months.

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:55.200
<v Speaker 5>That's where it gets tricky. Look, I think if Damien.

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Cook hit the market, someone would sign him for twelve

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:00.240
<v Speaker 2>months or because they's just because there's just no there's

0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 2>not a lot of hook as anything like the Dragons.

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I'd say I hadn't spoken to any one there, but

0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 2>you'd assume that if he hit the open market as

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 2>a stopgap solution, they might look at him.

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm sure other clubs would as well.

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 3>You haven't spoken to anyone there. You're their pseudo recruitment.

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 5>Stave's job now, not about not about Damian Cook?

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Who about them?

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I think? I think to Chris who.

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 3>He's got something?

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't have anything.

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't have anything to Chris's question in relation to

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 2>South Sydney recruitment targets. It all comes down to Wayne Bennett.

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 2>And I spoke to someone very close to Wayne this

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 2>week and I asked if Wayne had had to look

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.800
<v Speaker 2>at the South Sidney salary cap as yet, because once

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:47.479
<v Speaker 2>Wayne looks at the South Sidney salary cap I think

0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:49.960
<v Speaker 2>he's in for a few super I think he's getting

0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 2>in for a few surprises. And that is when we'll

0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 2>see some some tapping on the shoulders, some phone calls

0:33:57.320 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to managers of current players and say listen, if you

0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 2>feel like you can get another deal for your player,

0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 2>we suggest you do. And I think that will happen,

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll see target wise recruitment, see who Wayn

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.319
<v Speaker 2>can bring in. I don't know who that is at

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 2>this point in time.

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Peter wants to know, is it hard to writing negative

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 1>stories about players and coaches that you really like?

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Horrible? Horrible? And Brad's an example.

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 4>I really like Brad, Brad Arthur, but I've written written

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 4>a couple of stories that insteader a couple of things

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure Brad doesn't like.

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 3>It's horrible, but it's part of that job. Job someone.

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:36.759
<v Speaker 4>We've got to tell you some hard truth and have

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:37.360
<v Speaker 4>an opinion.

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 2>We all like JD. I don't think anyone that doesn't

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:43.719
<v Speaker 2>like j D. But we're all of the.

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:49.400
<v Speaker 1>We're all of the decision, Like I was comfortable with

0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:51.879
<v Speaker 1>the decision for JD to be moved on at Souse. Right,

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a prime example where we're all saying the fact

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that you know JD's time is done despite the fact.

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Of manage was one manage is a classic example. You're

0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:07.759
<v Speaker 4>right about Madge in the future declared, I.

0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Don't think the subject has an issue so long as

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 2>you're not over inflating or over dramatizing or making a

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:23.839
<v Speaker 2>personal situation. Well, if you if you report, if you're

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:27.440
<v Speaker 2>reporting actually on what is happening at the footy club,

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.279
<v Speaker 2>what are the results, what's the impact? What behind the

0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 2>scenes decisions are being made around there. We're using a

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 2>head coach as an example. I don't they can't. They

0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:43.560
<v Speaker 2>can't be too disenchanted with your style of reporting because

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 2>you're only reporting fact. If a player has a missed

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:50.359
<v Speaker 2>the matter off the field, we report fact. If it's

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:53.719
<v Speaker 2>involved in the police charges, we report police charges. The

0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:57.800
<v Speaker 2>subject cannot have an opportunity to complain about that style

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.319
<v Speaker 2>of reporting. It's when it becomes personal and all.

0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 4>It's when you wait into opinion as well. I mean

0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:06.279
<v Speaker 4>sometimes we write comment pieces that again, that was the

0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 4>class of example. Manage was a classic example where you

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 4>asked your opinion of whether he should still be coaching.

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:14.359
<v Speaker 4>I mean at the time, I think I was saying that,

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, either him or Luke Brooks has to go,

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.520
<v Speaker 4>one of them has to go to resolve it, and

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 4>Manage didn't like it.

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:24.239
<v Speaker 2>When the end, You're right, Lieutenant wants to know if

0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 2>they've isn't it less than one hundred and fifty thousand?

0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Then does this impact other second rollers value in the

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.239
<v Speaker 1>market if they're asking for the same money and are

0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the same ability.

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:38.880
<v Speaker 5>So if David Feeda resets the.

0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Market value of a gun back roller at eight hundred

0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:42.799
<v Speaker 1>and fifty thousand, does that have a flowing effect for

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Jaden Sawer Angus Crichton.

0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean he's already reset the market. It's taking

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:50.600
<v Speaker 4>a play cut to go there.

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what they're saying though. If he's worth eight

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:54.239
<v Speaker 2>fifty does that mean Angus Crichton's.

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, they say it's less. That's what I'm assuming.

0:36:57.200 --> 0:36:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Does that does that impact the market for someone like

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Jaden Are or Angus Crichton, I'd say no, because those

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:04.719
<v Speaker 1>discussions are probably.

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 4>Scarcity effects that that that impacts the impacts there they

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 4>the lack of available back rollers who are out there.

0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:17.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think Jayden's value has sort of gone

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 4>up a little bit. You know, he's obviously held out

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:23.480
<v Speaker 4>the initial contract offer from the Dragons, played good footy,

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:26.439
<v Speaker 4>and I think what's impacted his value is that there's

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:27.719
<v Speaker 4>not a lot of second.

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Rowers out there. Not a lot of edge back rollers

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:30.640
<v Speaker 3>played good.

0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:34.520
<v Speaker 5>Football at the moment. If you're looking for about middle

0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 5>impacted the development of players, it's just not.

0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 3>A lot out there. Expansion was well a little bit.

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Archie wants to know who should play half back for

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:47.080
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys moving forward, Chad Townsend or Jake Clifford moving forward,

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 2>where though, when I'm assuming this season the season, I'd

0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:52.880
<v Speaker 2>stick with Chad and then if.

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 5>It's not this season, Chad's.

0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:56.919
<v Speaker 2>Contracts done and the restimated experienced staff back.

0:37:57.560 --> 0:37:59.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I think Chad for the time being

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 4>and in the end of the season, I don't know.

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what the systems like off contract.

0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Chap wants to go around again next year.

0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:10.080
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm saying. I'm not sure whether I go

0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 4>around with chat again next year. It's particularly if they

0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 4>underperform this year. I agree they've got to shake it.

0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Up those things.

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 1>I stick with Chad at the moment, and then if

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:21.440
<v Speaker 1>he can't guide them into the finals again, decision will

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:23.760
<v Speaker 1>be made before then, obviously, but if they're not pushing

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:26.840
<v Speaker 1>for a final spot, then it's time to move on.

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I stay with me here, Scott Scott Scott thoughts on

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 1>my bunk or solution. They only get three views at

0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:36.960
<v Speaker 1>normal speed if they can't see an obvious error. The

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 1>ref decision stands speeds up, the process still eliminates the

0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:43.319
<v Speaker 1>how that stops the nitpicking game isn't played slow mate,

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:45.200
<v Speaker 1>so it shouldn't be repped that way either.

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:49.839
<v Speaker 2>No, no, sorry, Scotty, do you need slow mo I

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 2>get where you're coming from. The you know the slow

0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:58.680
<v Speaker 2>mote twenty seven times? I don't like. However, when you're

0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:02.360
<v Speaker 2>when you're assessing a grounding of a football, can we

0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 2>just put a caveat that? The happy chorus ow Troy

0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:10.160
<v Speaker 2>isn't part of this discussion? That was a hour When

0:39:10.160 --> 0:39:12.319
<v Speaker 2>you are assessing a grounding of a footy. You have

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 2>to be able to assess separation in slow you have to.

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:16.840
<v Speaker 5>And I don't like capping.

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:18.360
<v Speaker 2>People say I don't like capp in the replace What

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:20.520
<v Speaker 2>if you need a focebook at it to get it right? Yeah,

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:22.440
<v Speaker 2>that's right. Do you know what I mean? Like it's

0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:24.319
<v Speaker 2>people want to put a time frame on it.

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:26.680
<v Speaker 1>And stuff like that. I don't think you can do that.

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Another one around the bunker. This was an email from Matt.

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:33.080
<v Speaker 1>In rugby union, at the moment, the on field officials

0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and television and match official is that a team work

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:40.279
<v Speaker 1>together for the initial decision, with the on field wrap

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:43.080
<v Speaker 1>often leading the discussion as they're the ones who need

0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to justify it with the players on the field. Decisions

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that are on the field that are yellow red border

0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:51.920
<v Speaker 1>are yellow card and then the bunker has seven minutes

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to review.

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Confused.

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 5>In rugby union, this is the match official.

0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 2>What do they do? They communicate with the bunker and talk.

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Can I give you some advice? Can we not try

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and replicate anything to do with rugby union?

0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? How about we just get the people in the

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:10.480
<v Speaker 3>bunker to do a better job.

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:14.359
<v Speaker 4>Well, the technology is not the issue never has been.

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:16.880
<v Speaker 4>How do people say, blow out the bunker? The issue

0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 4>is in the bunker, draws me inside.

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:21.239
<v Speaker 2>I probably got you in the podcast, just getting people

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:22.800
<v Speaker 2>to do a better job.

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:27.759
<v Speaker 4>Thanks man, buddy, thank The issue is instinct that the

0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:29.919
<v Speaker 4>people are bunker to do a better job.

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to stick a roast chicken in the oven to.

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:36.120
