1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to an RL three to sixty rebelle from every

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: aning who will brought to you by NIV. Joining me

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: again the great Gordon talents.

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Let's bring the journal Australian James Hooper and Dean Richie.

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: We've had a massive show again on tonight. Well let's

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: start with j w H. As we left the show

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: last night, they were challenging that grade to three week

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: suspension and they lost. So he will miss four matches Jared,

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: which leads him out of the game for six weeks

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: with two buyers for the Roosters to be served in

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: that period. So it's a long period of time for

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: Jared to be out. Did he deserve this?

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: Well, the roosters are fooming. They're adamant that they'll never

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: go down to n RL Judiciary headquarters and troll and

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: contest a case again. They claim it's an injustice, but

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: in reality, breath, Jared's had ten chargers over the course

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 3: of the last twelve months. So when you got that

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 3: sort of a rap shot, everything from headbutting to fighting,

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: to attacking opponent's head, all those sorts of things, when

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: that's on your rap sheet, you're always going to struggle

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: and you're going to be a victim of the loading process.

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: It wasn't grade too, which is mid range greade ones

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 4: are fine. He chose to contest it as well, and

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: we all know where the game's gone in the last

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 4: three to four years concussion.

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 5: Yet, I didn't think the tackle was that bad. But

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 5: now Hoo's just alluded to he's had ten in the

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 5: last twelve months. You probably wouldn't afford it. Just in hindsight.

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 5: Last night, you don't Sam Walker do in the tackle? Nothing?

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: He probably gets a great one if he gets charged

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: last night.

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 5: Last night, you weren't okay with it? No, No, because

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't think the tackle was that bad.

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 5: The player bounces up, so I look at Yeah, Jared's aggressive, right,

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 5: he's a big, tough guy, right, playing three hundred and

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 5: seven games for a famous club. He's got all those emotions.

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 5: He's trying to lift his team. That's what he does.

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: He got it wrong. I don't think he got that wrong.

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 5: For four weeks.

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: Do you guys say though it was Sam Walker, he

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 4: wouldn't have been charged.

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: I think if it was Sam Walker. Yeah, there's every

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: log that he there's a suggestion.

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: Then that you're saying that the matter view committee is

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: looking at the player rather than the incident.

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: Well, of course when you've got a rap shoot. He's

47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: had thirty seven charges bulldog over the course of even

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 3: thirty seven over the course of a seven in season career.

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: And this I love Jared as a player. He's an

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: out and out champion and he does redline. He plays

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: on the edge. You have to he as a front rower.

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: But if you do get it wrong and you have

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: got a long rap shoot like he has, well, this

54
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: is the risk that you take because if you get

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 3: to go to the judiciary and you get a roller ice,

56
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: you could end up with a first Sam.

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: Walker probably wouldn't have done it right.

58
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: But if you're saying if that was Sam Walker who

59
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: did the same shot and the Dragons player got straight up,

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: I reckon it's a great one.

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: So that's my opinion.

62
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: So there's a second suggestion to them Breath that the

63
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 4: player laying down every time he's hit by Jared knows

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: there's a fair chance there'll be a penalty.

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: We've seen sin We've seen that happens, especially when he

66
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 5: comes out of the line with intent. I'm not saying

67
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 5: he didn't have inten. That's not the game.

68
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: We're not about that.

69
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: No, we're not.

70
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: That's not what we're about in rugby league. Lay down

71
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: just because it's Jared.

72
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: We're our hard Greaves.

73
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: But the kid didn't he jumps up, That's what That's

74
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: my point though, is that if it was Sam Walker

75
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: and the player reacted exactly how this player did get

76
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: straight up, he didn't even flinch, then I don't think

77
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: it's a great too. I think it does come into play,

78
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: whether it should or it shouldn't. I mean the force

79
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: at which he comes in there gets him right, because

80
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: I don't think the contact was that severe because he

81
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: came in a little reckless and the way that Jared

82
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: does come in it doesn't help him right and his recorder.

83
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Or do we have a problem a problem though with

84
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: the loading?

85
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Is there a problem with the system if Jared's getting

86
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: even even with prize, is there a problem that he's

87
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: getting four weeks for this?

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: I think it's a problem with the grading, not so

89
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 5: much the loading, because if you're repeat offender, you've got

90
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 5: to pay a certain price. You can't just keep on

91
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: going out there and doing the same incidents and not

92
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 5: get punished. I actually thought it was probably a Grade one.

93
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: They do not induced the impact last year. At the

94
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 4: end of last year hoops in terms of the impact

95
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: repeat offenders are having. So they're aware of the issue.

96
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: But when it comes to Jared with that rap sheet

97
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: he's got, Yeah, there's no wriggle room with Jared. That's

98
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: the problem.

99
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: He's a victim of his reputation, right, So when you're

100
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: going to sail close to the edge of the way

101
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: that he does, if you get it wrong, you run

102
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 3: the risk. The thing with loading is if you have

103
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: a clean record for twelve months, right, so you don't

104
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: have any charges against you, which Gordy, I'm sure you

105
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: would add a club cheat like that plenty of times.

106
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: Then it resets and you don't have any loading, right.

107
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: But in Jared's case, he's had ten charges a tick

108
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: over twelve months.

109
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 5: And if on the Dragon's found, I go we hold on.

110
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 5: He's a winger bringing the ball off. He's end. It's

111
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 5: not a front rower charge. In adding right, he comes

112
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: out of his line, he goes out of his way

113
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 5: to put a shot on him. He deserves to get suspended.

114
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 5: If you're a Dragons fan, do you think.

115
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: That yeah, possibly, Yeah, yeah, I don't think the Russes

116
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: were confident any I also think that with the squad

117
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: they've gotten then you playing the way that he is

118
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: and the rest of their pack perform and the way

119
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: they are, they thought, you know, it was worth the risk,

120
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: and really I think it was.

121
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Although they weren't confident.

122
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: I think that always they went for it, but I

123
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: don't think that really confident they were going to win.

124
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: Well, they reckon that you only allowed to use one

125
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: comparable incident from recent times, right, they reckon they picked

126
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: the wrong incident that they had another one that on

127
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: the laws of law of averages and probability, then he

128
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: probably should have got the down ground.

129
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

130
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: Trying to move on, Ben Hunt's revealed the real reason

131
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 2: Queensland canceled their open media session on Monday, with Billy

132
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: Slater making the whole team relieve their mcg meltdown.

133
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're to look at the Melbourne game as it

134
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 6: was definitely a tough watch, that's for sure. You know,

135
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 6: Billy definitely had some real honest conversations with a fair

136
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 6: few of us.

137
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: It's a tough video session, but one.

138
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 6: We needed, kind of like the angry Dad a bit

139
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: yesterday is just a bit disappointed in us and this

140
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 6: need to draw on everything we can and really embrace

141
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 6: the crowd at sun Corpen and go and get a win.

142
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: Angry Dad, Billy not have you with his boys?

143
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: And you know what you said it last night, Gordy,

144
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: you said you would make the team. You would make

145
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: the Queensland team. Watch now they were bullied in Melbourne

146
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: and you think it's going to get it the right reaction.

147
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, obviously, anytime you lose a game, especially at

148
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: this level, you're going to be hurt, You're going to

149
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 5: be cut. We watched so many sides bounced back. The

150
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: way New South Wales were beaten in Game one, even

151
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 5: though they were great for sixty five minutes, they would

152
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 5: have been hurting right so Queensland.

153
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: But the watch the way they got beaten.

154
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 5: So like that, if you get beaten and you go

155
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 5: down and you know, and you have a really good

156
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 5: game and you're not getting bullied, I think that you

157
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: can take that loss, even though it's hard. But the

158
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 5: way they got beaten, I'm not saying Queensland turned it up.

159
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 5: By the way they got beaten. They did win the

160
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 5: second half. I would make him watch it again.

161
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: Do you think Billy is rattled because he's had a

162
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 4: couple of series with Freddy where Freddy hasn't engaged. Madge

163
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: is engaged, and at the moment he looks like a

164
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: bloke that is used to a smooth, easy run into games.

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: He would they've been beaten ow Boardy and a few

166
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: barbs have come south to north and to me, he

167
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: just looks like he's a bloke under excruciating pressure.

168
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: No, I spoke disagree.

169
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 5: No, definitely not, because there's been no talk about for feeder,

170
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: the lack of forwards we've got. There's no Teenager, there's

171
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 5: no Fleggler, there's no Gil, but there's no monster. There's

172
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 5: no talk about any of that. It's just about Billy.

173
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: I don't think heavy duty Raddald Gordy. I don't think

174
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: he's heavy duty rat. I think I do think he's

175
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: in uncharted territory. This is an unfamiliar situation for Billy

176
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: as a player. He had so much success in his

177
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: early coaching life at origin level. It's been all very

178
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: smooth sailing into bulldogs.

179
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: Point.

180
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: He and Freddy never really engaged in any attacks or sledges,

181
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: whereas now all of a sudden in this series they

182
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: get handed a heavy loss in game too, and Madge

183
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: even goes before that and starts with the Glasshouse.

184
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 5: I'm feeling the pressure and I'm not even in the

185
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 5: squad right, I'm not even playing the game. I feel

186
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 5: the pressure. I feel the aanks. I know that we're

187
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: under the pump next Wednesday.

188
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: So if you're feeling pressure because it buzz on Thursday.

189
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 5: Because sitting there next Thursday night. But like then, but

190
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: Billy for the care of his state, because he's been

191
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: there before, he's played and decided there's not He wouldn't

192
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 5: be doing the job if he didn't feel nervous and

193
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 5: feel the pressure. But tell me this magic we feel

194
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 5: on the pressure too?

195
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Less Why less?

196
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: Well, they're not expected to do it up there, and

197
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: it's in Bristole some course stadium. No, I'm just saying

198
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: that he's.

199
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: Not the worst Queensland, second worst Queensland side.

200
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: It's the second best queens The expectation is that queens

201
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 4: And will win. It's done Corps Stadium, They've done it

202
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: for one hundred years now, So the pressure is more

203
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: on Billy than Madge.

204
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: Do you think that Madge is in Billy his head

205
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: right now?

206
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: I do. I think Madge's taking this unusual approach which

207
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: we didn't see a club Land, did we. Madge has

208
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: always been reserved. I'll be honest. He mag's quite a

209
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: boring interview.

210
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: Wasn't it.

211
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 5: You're living in a glasshouse.

212
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Madges come out now and he's throwing barbs. It's good,

213
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 4: it's great for the Origin theater. But I don't think

214
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: Billy was expecting it, and it's just got him off

215
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: the bit.

216
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

217
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 2: All right, tomorrow night, all eyes are on KO Stadium

218
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: is the Dolphins host the Rabbits, and the coaches have

219
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: been creating plenty of headlines.

220
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not doing very much at South at all.

221
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 7: I haven't been near the club. I haven't been near

222
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 7: anybody here. I've just got a deal done, and we

223
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 7: did the deal, and I'm coaching the Dolphins and that's

224
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 7: my priority. And they've got a club to run this year,

225
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 7: and they've got good people in there, and they turned

226
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 7: their season on. So trying to run two clubs that

227
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 7: doesn't work. So just being here and I've been very

228
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 7: committed to here. We turned their season iron and great

229
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 7: credit to Ben Hornby. He's had a great job with him.

230
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 7: I made him captain of Dragons when I was there,

231
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 7: and I got him to South Sydney when I went

232
00:09:59,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 7: there as a coach, so.

233
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: You're keeping him on too.

234
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

235
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 8: Spoke to Wayne after the game last week, but I

236
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 8: don't know everything this week, so yeah, looking forward to

237
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 8: going up against We talked reagularly before i'd taken over.

238
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 8: To be honest, We've been talking regularly for ten plus years,

239
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 8: so nothing's really changed there. Sois I find a little

240
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 8: bit disrespectful, Yeah, not just to me, but to everyone here.

241
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 8: That's that's doing a great job and the players included.

242
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 8: So it is what it is. It's more of a

243
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 8: story that way. But we're just concentrating on what we

244
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 8: can do this week.

245
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean.

246
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: Next year, that's that's for.

247
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 8: Me and Wayne to know, and I'm going to keep

248
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 8: it like that, so I'm sure he'll do the same.

249
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: Hornby says that betett suggestions are disrespectful both Hornby and

250
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: Better trying to hose it down there.

251
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: What do you go?

252
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: I think he's the best way and he's just sitting

253
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: back with the cards nice and tight on the farm

254
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: in the recliner with the feed up smoking his pipe.

255
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: And there's no doubt whatsoever of a Braith.

256
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 5: Why not.

257
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 3: For a fact, I've spoken to players about it. Wayne

258
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: has been speaking of the players on a regular basis

259
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: and he has given Ben advice about certain tactical things

260
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: that he could do with the team. Ben's taken that

261
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: advice on board. You have to give Ben Hornby and

262
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: Dave Furner enormous credit for what they've been able to

263
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: do with this South Sydney team, the way they've been

264
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 3: able to galvanize them. But there's no question whatsoever Wayne

265
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: is still heavily involved in everything that he's in.

266
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: This a unique situation because Wayne and Ben, as Wayne

267
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: just said, go back a long way, you know, coach

268
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: him in the Grand Final victory, employed him. It's how

269
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: Sydney's assistant coach is going to have him as assistant

270
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: coach next year with him at the Bunny. So although

271
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: there could be a line being chrissed, these two are

272
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: good mates who lean on each other.

273
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: Regardless of this situation.

274
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 2: Ben would have been talking away at the start of

275
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: the year as much as he probably is now. So

276
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a tricky one.

277
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: I don't know. I see it. I see it a

278
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: little different. How do you see Goody.

279
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 5: Well, he coached with Craig Bellamy for about five years

280
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 5: at Brisbane. Does he ring him?

281
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

282
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 5: He coached off there off he coached Kevy for about twenty.

283
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, does he ring him?

284
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: I don't know?

285
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Does he know?

286
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 5: No?

287
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: That's the point. Yeah, right, so like then.

288
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: Going back, Yeah, but in relation to Ben, he's Ben's

289
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: mentor essentially what they want to premiership as coach and player.

290
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: At the Dragon smashed the thirty year title.

291
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure other coaches ring and talk about is if

292
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: mim missing something here?

293
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

294
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: Dolphins, if one coach rings another is an issue here.

295
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: I think if you're the make care here, I certainly don't, right.

296
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: But if i'm you got to take Peeler back. The

297
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: Dolphins are on a horror run and a lot of

298
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: that's coincided with.

299
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: Wayne, through Wayne ringing Horny.

300
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to put it out there. It's it's

301
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: more the fans. If I'm if you're a you're not

302
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: a Dolphins fan. If you're a Dolphins fan, and the

303
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: head coach signs mess House and then ever since they dive.

304
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: He's talking to talking to their players, talking to their

305
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: coach and see hows to go on that way? If

306
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: you're a fan of the Dolphins, would you think different

307
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: to what you think?

308
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: Well, I'll say this back to you. You are questioning

309
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: Wayne's professionalism and I don't think through the fans gasion.

310
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is you let me finish is that

311
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,119
Speaker 4: if you were saying that Wayne is ringing them and

312
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: and Dolphins are sliding, if you're saying Wayne's not doing

313
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 4: his job and to someone.

314
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 5: Who's and did two things one hundred percent. So when

315
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 5: Benji Marshall lost nine and he went overseas the game

316
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 5: had a problem.

317
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: With Wayne Bennett.

318
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: He had a problem with that, I did.

319
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 5: They lost, Okay, so now Dolphins probably lost five. Don't

320
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 5: you think he should be concentrating on the Dolphins?

321
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: That is the only he's still he has still got

322
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: his chips pushed all in with the Dolphins, Gordon. If

323
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: you look at their form, yes they've had some losses.

324
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: They've lost four of their last five games, but some

325
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 3: of them have been extre only close games. They've gone

326
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: down to the likes of Melbourne. I still think and

327
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 3: it's always been the plan for the Dolphins is for

328
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: Christian Wolf to become the successor. So Christian's very hands

329
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: on in terms of all the recruitment, all the strategizing,

330
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: all the planning for next season. Wayne is still doing

331
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: what he needs to do.

332
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: Players had on.

333
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 5: If I'm sitting in the dress room and I know

334
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 5: my coach is ringing another side, I wouldn't like it.

335
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 5: It is as simple as that.

336
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: That's you.

337
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: I'm not worrying about what you can out of ours.

338
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 5: He should be worrying about our job because it's our job.

339
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 5: It's our responsibility to win. It's not my job. It's everybody.

340
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: It's a team. There's no iron team.

341
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: I don't have an issue with ringing the coach, And

342
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: what I was talking about was perception. I've been supportive

343
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: of warning the Dolphins. But if you're ringing other players

344
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: personally who you're playing against, the playing against this weekend,

345
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: and you're giving them advice on how to better themselves

346
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: and play better, and you're sitting in the shed, he's.

347
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: Probably left the phone in the back pocket. In fairness

348
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: for this week. I'm sure he hasn't been picked up

349
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: the You know.

350
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: If you've played the game, you can put yourself in

351
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: that position. I don't listen.

352
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: They love one and they respect him and they trust him,

353
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it's not a big deal, but it's

354
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: just the perception that it has created. Now Hornby's stocks

355
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: have to be rising. You know, Benny's kind of gone

356
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: under the radar the last few years because he's been

357
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: an assistant at the Bunnies and they're going. They're going

358
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: great last year until midway and the year before that,

359
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: and they had a horror run. But he's well, I

360
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't say single handled after the conversation we just had,

361
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: but he's done a magdivsent job to get this team

362
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: to where.

363
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: They are right now from where they were.

364
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: So I mean, is he is he he's going to

365
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: be a first grade coach in waiting, maybe next in

366
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: line bulldog.

367
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: Well, he's certainly jumping in the queue, isn't he? From

368
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: where he was? Five in a row. He's unlocked the team,

369
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: He unlocked Latrell pre injury. I guess the uncomfortable question

370
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 4: we have to ask is where does it leave Jason Demetro.

371
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: Why couldn't he do what Ben Hornby is doing now?

372
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 4: And that's not a knock on JD because we all

373
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 4: think he can coach.

374
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: How that's okay?

375
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: Well, and why break Ben Hornby do what he's doing

376
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 4: when the team wouldn't do it for Jason Demetro.

377
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: I think it all went so pair shaped at the

378
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: back end of last season. You've got to remember that

379
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: South's they were on top of the comp halfway through

380
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: last year, and then it all went so pair shaped.

381
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: They missed the finals, and they told us that there

382
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: was nothing going on, but there were all.

383
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Sorts of.

384
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: Narratives and news lines put out in the open about

385
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: conflict too was running the club, what was actually happening

386
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: behind the scenes, and JD didn't handle all of that

387
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: and he became a victim of that. Ben Hornby has

388
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: been able to galvanize the group. They look happy. He's

389
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: made some key positional changes. I think there's no question

390
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: whatsoever Broath he deserves enormous credit and he is an

391
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: NRL coach in waiting note out. He strikes me as

392
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: a typical way and understudy style of a coach a

393
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: lot the way he's very flat bat and keeps his

394
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: cards noise and close when he's in front of the

395
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: cameras doesn't give much away, but you speak the players

396
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: at South's at the moment and they've got a great

397
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: rapport with him.

398
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: The rust hasn't changed.

399
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: That's why we were so critical of us, and a

400
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 2: lot of people were, because they've had the team to

401
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: be a top fourteen for the past two years and

402
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: that's why it was incredible that they dropped off for

403
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: Cliff as severe as they did. But it's good to

404
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: see that they are back where they should be and

405
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: they're fighting for finals now.

406
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: Now.

407
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: Dog Rosey, Jason Roles. He's got the job at Paramata,

408
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: but you believe there's a bit of pressure on him.

409
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: Oh most certainly. I think Jason Royles will feel the

410
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 4: sins of the past thirty seven years we've waited that

411
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 4: will not go away until they win a premiership. He's

412
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: the eleventh coach since John Money in nineteen eighty six.

413
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: He is under more pressure than anybody, as are the

414
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 4: three that appointed him because they overlooked Josh Hannay. And

415
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: the main issue I've got with ParaMed at the moment

416
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: is the window is it closing? It's an aging roster.

417
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 4: Moses Guthus and Paul o' lane Campbell, Gillard, Seva cart

418
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: Right all twenty nine and thirty years old. So the

419
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 4: window is got has twelve, eighteen, twenty four months later.

420
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 4: So you think that he needs to recruit, he'll have

421
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 4: to make some dramatic decisions the next year, year and

422
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: a half.

423
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: Who's going? Who needs to go?

424
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: Look, Moses will stay, he'd be part of the spine.

425
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: We know that.

426
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: Well look, look, b look, I don't know.

427
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: You don't look. I don't know.

428
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 4: Thet I did some ago, I guess can't write to

429
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 4: be fighting for his spot. Ryan Madison will be fighting

430
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 4: for his spot sewn Lane. I mean, there's a lot

431
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 4: of players there aren't guaranteed to be re signed.

432
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: Listening to Paul Crawls last night, I had to laugh

433
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: at the jibber jabber article that came out saying Paramatta

434
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: with the Broncos of the West. He said it should

435
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 3: have started once upon a time because it was written

436
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: as such a fairy tale, the way that the eels

437
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: are set up at the moment. I feel for Rossie

438
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: and I know he's made of yours, and I think

439
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: that he will be able to do a good job

440
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: in time. But it's a poison Chalice at paramatter at

441
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: the moment, the staff for all walking around on eggshells.

442
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: Nobody's job is guaranteed. There is going to have to

443
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 3: be a roster shakeup because, as we've just pointed out,

444
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: it's an aging list. I know that RCG was looking

445
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 3: at possibly going overseas earlier in the year. That was

446
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: when Brad Arthur was still the coach. I don't know

447
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: that that's still the same, but perhaps the club might

448
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: try and go in that direction because that would free

449
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: up a significant amount of dough. Mike Asivo is another

450
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: player who's currently been young kids. Yeah, but Gordy, they

451
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: had your spot on but they haven't been able to

452
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 3: get that streamlined and flowing through in the NRL for decades.

453
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: It hasn't worked. With the exception of Blaze Telungi, the

454
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 3: other best young kid. They've got Ethan Sanders's assign with

455
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 3: the Raiders. They're not set up like Penrith. The Panthers

456
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: have got the procession line, humming paramatter and the people

457
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 3: who are the decision makers at the joint at the moment,

458
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: which has been proven have zero four ball IQ.

459
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: So whose foal is it? I point the finger of

460
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: ba for this.

461
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 3: Or is it yeah, now that ba is out the door,

462
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: Certainly there are people at the club in positions of

463
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: power that are trying to say will they had the

464
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: loudest voice in terms of recruitment.

465
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 4: Because they're all trying to get in the life right

466
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 4: here the.

467
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: Building.

468
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 3: They are all trying to cover their own as I

469
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 3: think the fish rots from the head first break. So

470
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the chairman, I'm looking at the CEO.

471
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: They don't have any experience in terms of how to

472
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: set up a successful football club. I'm sure that they've

473
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 3: spoken to plenty of people about how to try and

474
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 3: make it fly. But you've only got to look at

475
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: the slide that the club's been on since making.

476
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 5: The gre Look at Penrith, just drive around.

477
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 4: If the only have that easy, if only was that easy.

478
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 4: Dylan Brown signed until thirty one, two exit clauses after

479
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: twenty six and twenty twenty eight, both in the tenure

480
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 4: of Jason Rowls, so that'd be a fascinating watch it years.

481
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: But they've got to keep blaze to Lungey. That's you know,

482
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: he's a young gun.

483
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: But didn't Guthleson say today that he will move positions

484
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 5: a kid to play hard fall back.

485
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: He did. He did say that today.

486
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 2: And he's been shopped around at the moment, and I

487
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: hear the Dolphins are now in the frame for him

488
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: amongst others.

489
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: Is that true Newcastle Dragons. I think he'll stay hoops,

490
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: that's the male I'm getting he was just.

491
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: Coming out of power or yes, yeah, they've been saying

492
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 3: that for a while.

493
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 4: But he has been waiting to see the new coaches.

494
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: So we have to obviously work out whether he is

495
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: a Jason Roles player and Roles is his kind of coach.

496
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 4: But I think he will resign.

497
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 5: I think, can you just what does it mean if

498
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 5: he's my coach? And if he's the.

499
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 4: Kind of style that he wants to plan he might

500
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 4: not want to plan to adjacent rolls. Did he want

501
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 4: to planner a Brad Arthur? Probably not. That's why he

502
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 4: didn't want to resign. Every player wants to know he wants.

503
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: To play under a Christian Wolf instead.

504
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know.

505
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: Sign I found the.

506
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: Most interesting thing about this Blaze to Lungey's story is

507
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: it's an Isaac Meserson. Okay, so one of the most

508
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: senior figures in the game loves to reference how Isaac

509
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 3: looks at NRL clubs like McDonald's franchises, and so he

510
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: gets a head coach in at various clubs and then

511
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: the McDonald's franchise is open for business. So he's got

512
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 3: Christian Wolf at the Dolphins next year, so he's got

513
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: McDonald's Redcliffe. He's got Adam O'Brien at Newcastle, so he's

514
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 3: got McDonald's Merriweather and then he's got Shane Flanagan.

515
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: He's got some competition at McDonald's.

516
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 3: Woollongong, right, And what are you know with Blaze Telangy

517
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: who's managed by Isaac. Well, all three of those, the

518
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: clubs that are interested are all Isaac coaches.

519
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 5: And when are these players going to stand up for themselves?

520
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 5: And it's my career not yours. Fascinating they're the ones

521
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 5: that pay the manager. They're the ones that give him

522
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: the clip. You're his boss, You tell him where you

523
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 5: want to play and he goes and gets the deal done.

524
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: To Bulldog's point from earlier, I've heard it because he's

525
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: a local junior, Blaze Telangy, and I have heard that

526
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: he the club. All he ever wanted to do was

527
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: play for the years. So that's why I found it

528
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: really surprising that he didn't take up the option that

529
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 3: was in his favor, and he's decided to put himself

530
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: in this situation where he can be shopped around.

531
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: I love a big mac hoops. You mill put it on.

532
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 5: I'm goat.

533
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 4: Anyway, tea next week.

534
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: These days?

535
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 3: All right?

536
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: What's the hold up on Sam Walker? And he's a

537
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: deal at the Roosters. This is an interesting one because

538
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: Sam is up there in the top two three half

539
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 2: backs in our game right now. He seems very happy

540
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: at the Roosters. He's playing great there. We know the

541
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: Roosters would not want to let him go if they

542
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: an't signing before November. He's a free agent. Why haven't

543
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: they signed yet? Are they going to signing before November?

544
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: Well, the Roosters rarely miss the mark when it comes

545
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: to recruitment and retention. They've made a two year offer.

546
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: I think it's a tick over nine hundred thousand dollars

547
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: per see't but they're now even considering possibly making that

548
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: a longer term deal. So maybe they go back to

549
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: the drawing board and make a five year offer or

550
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: something similar and look to make it. Obviously, extremely highly

551
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 3: paid in the back end of that deal. So they're

552
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 3: just I think they'll get it done and certainly so.

553
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: The stall is on the price right now.

554
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: The Roosters don't really want to move on what they've

555
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: offered him, is that right?

556
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: But an he wants more?

557
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: Like I'm not privy to the exact conversations that have

558
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: been going.

559
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: I just gound the table.

560
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: Would that be market value? Like unless you want to

561
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 5: go that I was about to say one of the

562
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 5: lower clubs, which that's what you've got to do, right

563
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 5: if you want more money, But the bigger club's are

564
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 5: to be probably around the money.

565
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: What's he worth?

566
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's the great question. What would we say,

567
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: Jerome what a Jerome Law I get at the Tigers

568
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: was at one point four ye? Right, So if Jerome

569
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: Law is worth one point four million dollars on the

570
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: ap market, what's at.

571
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 5: A wooden spoon club. Yes, that's a good point a

572
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 5: figure out anybody that's not at Melbourne, that's not Penrith,

573
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 5: that's not at the Roosters, that's not at Britain, that's

574
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 5: not if you'll.

575
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: Get one point four Gordy, A lot of players would

576
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 2: take one point one one point two to win a comp.

577
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: A lot more chance of winning at comp. That's the reality.

578
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 5: So you've got Cleary number one, Dally, Cherry Evans, Jerome Hrees,

579
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 5: what are they on? He'd just be sitting underneath those.

580
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: They're all over a million dollars.

581
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Is he not like I think he is?

582
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: In my opinion, yes, but I don't deal with it

583
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 3: on a daily basis. In terms of having to make

584
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: those calls. He would win a salary cap if you

585
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: went to the open market. I've got no doubt that

586
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: he would get a million dollars. But I just get

587
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: the impression the roosters, they know how important he is.

588
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 3: Luke Kerey is leaving him, will go and finish his

589
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: career in France next season. They know how much they

590
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 3: need seam Walker. And I don't think it is all

591
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: about money or either break.

592
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: I don't think he's got to remember two hoops that

593
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: the reason he is so successful so young is because

594
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 4: of the players around him. If he wants to plan

595
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: that rooster's system, he'd have to cop a little bit

596
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 4: of a haircut because you've got angers, You've got Brandon

597
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: goes on and on and on.

598
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: You make a point, but the Roosters were not the

599
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: team they are now back before he started his form.

600
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: He's run back at the end. Zach correct.

601
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 2: He this year has I think catapulted them into Premiership contenders.

602
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 2: They've got a great roster you take Sam out of that.

603
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: Though they can't win the comp this year. They can't.

604
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: Luke's Kry's doing a great job and he's got better

605
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: as year's got on.

606
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: But Sam is their man, so they need him.

607
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: If you're saying it's nine plus a back ended deal

608
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: which will be one one point one, one point two

609
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 4: so forth, I think that's good money for Sam.

610
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't think, and I think he'll take

611
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 2: like you'll take a haircut to stay at the Roosters.

612
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 2: He will and everyone will say, oh salary cap because

613
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: he wants to win a camp.

614
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: He loves it there and it looks happy there. There's

615
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: great opportunities to come with with final with this just.

616
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 4: Won't want him on that open market. They'll come November one,

617
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 4: but quickly.

618
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: Is there any chance he would want to give back

619
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: to Queensland.

620
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 3: Well, we spoke about it last morning. Like he is

621
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: a he's a Coeensland, he's a coins.

622
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 5: He's dead and he's two uncles.

623
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: It's house. Well why wouldn't he Jeez, I don't say that.

624

00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: But you don't.

628
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 5: Well, listen, everyone talks about that there's no halfbacks on

629
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 5: the market, doesn't have brought Yeah, but doesn't every club

630
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 5: go and go and have a conversation with him? Yeah?

631
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: Look to your question about Coinsland. We've said it previously,

632
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: it was discussed last week. He's an Ipswich kid. Obviously

633
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: Mum and dad are both still up in Coinsland. Does

634
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: he want to return there? Will tell? But I think

635
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: he's happy but enjoy it.

636
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: In fact, because I don't see why you believe the

637
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: russ is the only reason I see is that if

638
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: you want to go about the Queensland, well.

639
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 4: There's a logical succession to Adam Reynolds. That's what end

640
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 4: of next year there's a vacancy.

641
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: They came up again one cause super drama.

642
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: All right now, bulldof, you've got a bright idea for

643
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: us tonight? Can you share it with a split?

644
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: All My ideas are bright, break you know that that's

645
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 4: why I get invited onto this wonderful show. Because my

646
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: idea is, Gordy Man, are you ready?

647
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: Yes? If it's not good, you're not back next week.

648
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: I looked at the Warriors last week, and you know what,

649
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 4: I actually felt sorry with them. I thought it was

650
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: almost cruel that they were down to fourteen fit men

651
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: and they got beaten in the eighty eighth minute and

652
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 4: they got jack. You know what, they got jack?

653
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: You know what?

654
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 4: So I come on, I advocated today that it's two

655
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: points for a win. Why don't we take it to

656
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: four points per game now for a win. And if

657
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 4: you go into Golden Point, you get three wins for

658
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 4: a win and you get won for a loss. It

659
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 4: gives the losing team in Golden Point, who have busted

660
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 4: their asses not being beaten in the eighty minutes, got

661
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: beaten in extra time. It gives them one point at least.

662
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 4: It gives them something, not.

663
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 1: A bad idea.

664
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: Thank you next week.

665
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: I've heard this before. I don't yeah familiar copy.

666
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 4: He takes claim for every story written about regulars.

667
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: I soon remember when this got brought up last time,

668
