Speaker 1: That twenty thirteen GF you guys play against the Roosters
Speaker 1: is because that Rooster side it may be one of
Speaker 1: the best sides on paper in hindsight of all time.
Speaker 1: Like Sunny but Williams, James Maloney, Mitchell Pierce, two of
Speaker 1: us are check is he on the wing there? Roger's
Speaker 1: first year Minchella and he was fullback? Like is that
Speaker 1: How much belief did you guys have going into that
Speaker 1: game coming up against that side.
Speaker 2: Well, we had a whole lot of belief because the
Speaker 2: boys had been there and done it just so recently
Speaker 2: as well. So they won eight, they won eleven. They
Speaker 2: had a bit of a down year because that was
Speaker 2: the first year Dead's left twelve. Yeah, but those boys
Speaker 2: were used to playing final So it was a number
Speaker 2: of players feel this, I reckon when you get to
Speaker 2: a big moment like that and being young, like I
Speaker 2: just assumed we're always going to be there because that's
Speaker 2: the way they acted, Like, that's the way the senior
Speaker 2: boys were. So even though probably on paper to a
Speaker 2: lot of people, you know, Rousters were the better team.
Speaker 2: I felt like we had championship DNA in our team,
Speaker 2: which was you know, probably try to even that out
Speaker 2: a little bit, and like Maddie said, we were eight
Speaker 2: and eight going into halftime and a couple of things
Speaker 2: didn't go our way and they and they got us,
Speaker 2: but we were very confident. We lost to him five
Speaker 2: times that year too, because we played him in the trial.
Speaker 2: You played him five times, We played him in the trials,
Speaker 2: We played him two times throughout the year, we played
Speaker 2: him in the first final, and then we played him
Speaker 2: in the Grand Final and we lost every time. But
Speaker 2: I reckon by a combined margin of about twenty points
Speaker 2: like they got us. I think maybe the Grand Final
Speaker 2: was the biggest score. Yeah wow, And that would ended
Speaker 2: up blowing out in the end to a trial or two.
Speaker 2: So we had really good contests against them. So we're
Speaker 2: confident going in there. And then just because I'm looking
Speaker 2: around and playing with guys like Glenn, especially in the
Speaker 2: Ford pack, Glenn Stewart, Brent Kyte, He's won a Clive
Speaker 2: church on the leven. Yeah, yeah, Tucky.
Speaker 1: Because chairs won the Clive Churchill in the losing side
Speaker 1: that year he did. Yeah, yeah, I did remember those
Speaker 1: big backlass yeah on chairs and say as much as
Speaker 1: you want, I mean, it's you're not breaking any news here.
Speaker 3: It's historically being noted the fact that there was a
Speaker 3: split in the club chairs and they were off with him.
Speaker 3: Everything was that was that difficulty in the most.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look that I've always said this. I think
Speaker 2: there'll be a time and Keop knows him, you know
Speaker 2: personally as well. We were celebrating after his three hundredth
Speaker 2: weren't we. We had a bit of a kick on.
Speaker 2: That was a good time. He's really just just like
Speaker 2: his footy. He took took me a while to warm
Speaker 2: to him as well. Dai dai. Yeah. Yeah, and because
Speaker 2: they were like the senior playing group were I don't know,
Speaker 2: like they were so respected around the league as well. Yes,
Speaker 2: so I always felt like they had a bit of
Speaker 2: an aura about him. You know. Some once I rocked
Speaker 2: up and there were circumstances that you know, played played
Speaker 2: out in which you know, you could pick one side
Speaker 2: or the other during the time. But yeah, he did.
Speaker 2: He struggled. He struggled a bit during that period and
Speaker 2: you know, credit to him, like it's a completely different
Speaker 2: situation now to where he is. I was like going
Speaker 2: through what he's going through now. But yeah, there were tough.
Speaker 3: Times and it had for you to remain in Switzerland.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, there was because I got along really
Speaker 2: well with Brett and in particular me, So when I
Speaker 2: arrived to the club, Brett was the single one and
Speaker 2: he's a Prince of Brookvale and as you know, Coops,
Speaker 2: he's like he runs me. Yeah. So and because I'm single,
Speaker 2: like I wrack up and he's come on, son, you're
Speaker 2: with me. You know. We used to go down to
Speaker 2: water Warfie.
Speaker 1: And wearing what your water chairs is wedding, yeah.
Speaker 2: Wearing all that gitting and getting up to meet the
Speaker 2: mean Snake. Used to take off to Melbourne heaps because
Speaker 2: he liked going down to Melbourne and getting away because
Speaker 2: he was a bit more of a bigger name. So
Speaker 2: we used to go down to Melbourne heaps and so yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. It was difficult the first year because I
Speaker 2: don't know if I was just being naive. I didn't
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a bit not a people pleaser, but
Speaker 2: I like everyone getting along, so I think maybe I
Speaker 2: just pretend like it wasn't happening, Like I'd hear murmurs
Speaker 2: and little different things about it. So I was just like,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe I can just get everyone out of
Speaker 2: beer and it'll be sweet. But there was obviously, you know,
Speaker 2: more more deeper issues because you.
Speaker 1: Are a great made of cheass and so is another
Speaker 1: couple of boas in that's called Jamie Bureau and Tommy
Speaker 1: Simon's who are also like a couple of Chas's best mates.
Speaker 1: How hard was it for Chess's best mates, who are
Speaker 1: the young guys going up against a little bit It
Speaker 1: would feel sometimes like you're up, You're on the other
Speaker 1: side to snake Glenn and that obviously you were mates
Speaker 1: with Glenn, but like I mean with Brett, But was
Speaker 1: Tommy and JB Like, were they clearly on chess a
Speaker 1: side now?
Speaker 2: To be clear, to be clear with it all, like
Speaker 2: there was nothing. It was weird energy, like it was
Speaker 2: just no one said anything, but you could feel it.
Speaker 2: That's why I was saying, like it was there was
Speaker 2: a bit of naivity, like like I said, you know,
Speaker 2: I'd hang out with all different groups. I'd and just
Speaker 2: hang out with the Shaw brothers and then d C.
Speaker 2: But I'd hang out with Georgia Defour and you know,
Speaker 2: there were always little groups of pockets of four and
Speaker 2: five people in every game, and I used to just
Speaker 2: just to float around in all of them, so you
Speaker 2: could sort of feel that there was some sort of
Speaker 2: energy around there. And then as time's gone on and
Speaker 2: mores come out, and people have done podcasts, some more
Speaker 2: than you know, some of you talked about more than others,
Speaker 2: so you start to piece everything together. Like I said,
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretending like it wasn't happening in thirteen,
Speaker 2: started to realize in fourteen, realizing I'm feeling like Switzerland
Speaker 2: in fourteen fourteen, and then the big I think the
Speaker 2: tipping point was when a couple of the older players
Speaker 2: moved on, like when Glenn moved on, when Chucky moved
Speaker 2: on to Para, and a few of the other older
Speaker 2: guys retired. That was a really awkward, awkward situation for
Speaker 2: everyone involved. And whether what side you see it, and
Speaker 2: you hear different parts about both sides, you could see
Speaker 2: where there's three sides to every story, yea one side
Speaker 2: somewhere in between, there's going to be the truth.
Speaker 3: And I'm not digging for anything escape I'm just purely
Speaker 3: curious because in a football in a football club, when
Speaker 3: if there's any sort of tension or drama, a lot
Speaker 3: of it comes to the surface in team meetings where
Speaker 3: you're sitting and you're doing a review as a team
Speaker 3: and you're watching a game, particularly if yous have had
Speaker 3: a bad loss, and oftentimes that that can bring things
Speaker 3: to the surface.
Speaker 2: It must have been some No, this is why it
Speaker 2: wasn't Maddie, and this is why it took a while
Speaker 2: for it to pick up and maybe more after the fact.
Speaker 2: It was so weird, and not in a bad way,
Speaker 2: but because Chez and Foss didn't say anything in video
Speaker 2: that sounds weird, right, like the two like our seven
Speaker 2: and six, they were younger guys. There was definitely a
Speaker 2: level of respect for the older players that was just
Speaker 2: not talked about. It was just you lived like it
Speaker 2: was an old school sort of feeling where the most
Speaker 2: vocal in video was definitely Kitty used to talk a
Speaker 2: whole week. Kitie Mate very vocal and very him. Our
Speaker 2: front row was like Kitie, Jason King, you know, very articulate,
Speaker 2: big front rowers who knew the game really well. So
Speaker 2: they used to we just talk about plans outside of
Speaker 2: you know, what we're going to do. Snake would chirp
Speaker 2: up every now and again and say, oh, we're going
Speaker 2: to get this on, this is what we're going to do.
Speaker 3: Kill it.
Speaker 2: Jamie Lyon was reluctant to really say anything. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it never mate. It never surfaced. Like I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: it might seem weird to say, like it just never
Speaker 2: popped up or was never talked about. That could be,
Speaker 2: you know, now that I'm saying it out loud and
Speaker 2: thinking about it, that could have been the biggest problem, right, Like,
Speaker 2: no one really addressed it. It was always just you
Speaker 2: felt the energy and there was maybe whispers around all
Speaker 2: the time, but no one to confront no one. No
Speaker 2: one wanted to come out and just say all right,
Speaker 2: this is what we you know, maybe over a few schooners,
Speaker 2: like I said before, Mattie, where we probably should have
Speaker 2: addressed it early on, and then who knows what happens
Speaker 2: in that little run.
Speaker 3: It's amazing. It just shows it. I don't think there's
Speaker 3: any club in the league that in the past has
Speaker 3: operated so well in amongst distractions and drama like Manly,
Speaker 3: this one is going to be. This is going to
Speaker 3: be really a big challenge going forward here with Dally
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season, just with everything just
Speaker 3: everything is like it's funny oftentimes this happened when there's
Speaker 3: drama and you're going to play a game and all
Speaker 3: the spotlights on the drama that first game you go
Speaker 3: out there, of course you're aware of it. You just
Speaker 3: get on with it and not from times you have
Speaker 3: a good performance. But it could tell going into Melbourne
Speaker 3: that that Melbourne game that was going to come to
Speaker 3: the surface a little bit. I thought when they ran
Speaker 3: on the field, I thought Daly looked really tired in
Speaker 3: their game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I imagine the week before would have been
Speaker 1: so easy to get up emotionally for it, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could really like draw on that and
Speaker 1: be like, right, it was it's us against you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's us against the club a little bit,
Speaker 1: it's us against the media. Let's go out there and
Speaker 1: prove them all wrong. And you get up so high
Speaker 1: emotionally for it, and then the next week it's like
Speaker 1: you can't really use the same you can't draw on
Speaker 1: that same emotion.
Speaker 2: Yep, like potentially just going out there to silence a
Speaker 2: few people up motivation for for not owning him, but
Speaker 2: some of the other boys who maybe filling the effects
Speaker 2: within the playing group as well. The difference is with
Speaker 2: chairs now. And this is what I will say, Like
Speaker 2: whether you whatever way you viewed or how you feel
Speaker 2: about what he did, he's completely chalk. It's chalk and cheese.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: He's how I said, maybe we should have addressed it,
Speaker 2: you know in like back in back in the day.
Speaker 2: He's well and truly done that, and he's learned from
Speaker 2: he's learned from that from that moment, and he's come
Speaker 2: out and like I said, he's so much more confident
Speaker 2: in himself that he does. Like, yeah, he cares about
Speaker 2: the club, and he cares about his teammates and all
Speaker 2: that stuff, but he's not going to be as worried
Speaker 2: about the reaction, you know what as back in the
Speaker 2: early days.
Speaker 1: Well you just said before about like that real old
Speaker 1: school mentality of there's that real respect unsaid respect for
Speaker 1: the leaders. Like in video sessions, they are kind of
Speaker 1: the only ones that really speak. Everyone else has a
Speaker 1: downward like doesn't really speak about it. It's funny how
Speaker 1: that kind of you just made me think. That is
Speaker 1: very much the same at Manly, still very much the same.
Speaker 1: Like I remember I first got there, no one would talk,
Speaker 1: no one would talk. There probably be three or four people,
Speaker 1: you know, the Troy, which is they'd sort of speak.
Speaker 1: No one else would.
Speaker 2: Really talk like a Melbourne did everyone chip in it.
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to. That's like I think
Speaker 1: I reckon. They're like, there's probably a few clubs still
Speaker 1: like a bit old school like that. They're very respect
Speaker 1: driven for the old players. But Melbourne it was like,
Speaker 1: if you've got an idea, no matter who you are,
Speaker 1: you could be a you could be a trainer. They
Speaker 1: were trained and trial blokes in there for two weeks
Speaker 1: sometimes and they would go, hey, Belly, I have an idea.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're fantastic and and you probably understand from your
Speaker 1: era Dad, sometimes you go like shut them somebody. You've
Speaker 1: told me stories where people who were have spoken up
Speaker 1: and you guys, get a shut up idiot.
Speaker 3: I would Andrew Joey Joey used to do it what
Speaker 3: they got up and actually decided to walk towards the
Speaker 3: TV and going Now, if you went there and Joey went,
Speaker 3: sit the fuck down, your mate, you are playing fucking
Speaker 3: terrible in no position to preach it anywhere. Sit the
Speaker 3: fuck down.
Speaker 2: Joey. Joey was there during that period as well. He
Speaker 2: was our assistant coach, Joey, he's our assistant coach. I
Speaker 2: won't throw a guy under the bus, but this is
Speaker 2: sort of summed it up, and this is set that
Speaker 2: sets the tone for the year as well. A player
Speaker 2: said something during a video session who's new to the
Speaker 2: club the same year I got there. And then all
Speaker 2: Brett Stewart did was just a mannerism, like he just
Speaker 2: moved his body because he used to just sit against
Speaker 2: the auditorium just like not listening all the time. And
Speaker 2: he so he's right at the front, so he's in
Speaker 2: vision so everyone can see Snaky. And then a player
Speaker 2: at the back started talking about the game plan or
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. This is like three or four
Speaker 2: games in Snake just starts looking at the back of
Speaker 2: the video like looking up at him speaking, and he
Speaker 2: didn't tell him to shut up or anything, because he
Speaker 2: didn't need to. Everyone just looked and then everyone's just
Speaker 2: sort of like put their head down and started like
Speaker 2: giggling to himself. And it was enough that no one
Speaker 2: ever did it again. It was I can't explain it.
Speaker 2: I hope you trying to The example lives up to it.
Speaker 2: But he's just like moving around in any because Glenn
Speaker 2: shut used to sit on the other side, so he's
Speaker 2: trying to look and then and then I'm sitting right
Speaker 2: behind him because I'm directly behind him, so I've just gone, oh,
Speaker 2: I put my head down, not at the guy for talking, up,
Speaker 2: just to the reaction and how it's all playing out,
Speaker 2: and we were all like, it's that secondhand embarrassment. Well,
Speaker 2: it just like it's the.
Speaker 1: Worst feeling on it, Like just even to even to
Speaker 1: talk in a public setting is hard enough, and then
Speaker 1: to be publicly shamed mid sentence as somebody's But the
Speaker 1: best thing about I think the best clubs do it now,
Speaker 1: Like I've heard stories of the boys. It's not even
Speaker 1: just Yellowy and Cleary at Penrith that are chimeing out.
Speaker 1: You've got young bokes twenty year old who have played
Speaker 1: two games who chime up with ideas for how they
Speaker 1: can be better. And I think that's it's probably the
Speaker 1: best way to run a club, depending on the culture
Speaker 1: of the club. But it's it's funny how so many
Speaker 1: clubs are still stuck in that old school sort of
Speaker 1: mentality to a.
Speaker 2: Degree, Like you know, there's there's pros and cons to
Speaker 2: it as well. Like earn your stripes before you say
Speaker 2: my word. Yeah, so you know it was you know,
Speaker 2: I'm taking a mental note going and saying ship for
Speaker 2: three years on the beer. But there's also like I
Speaker 2: had some thoughts over the years that I never I
Speaker 2: never ever, So I'd go to Kier and would go
Speaker 2: out and train, and because Kieren and Daily wouldn't say anything,
Speaker 2: I'm just like, I was, what do you reckon of this?
Speaker 2: You know, he's only that'll work? Can you tell Snake
Speaker 2: and see if we can you know, can we can
Speaker 2: you go ask Snake if we can have a crack
Speaker 2: at that or or this is this is why I
Speaker 2: did that.
Speaker 3: But that's that's how things work. There's pockets, combinations, you know,
Speaker 3: exist right across the forming conversations. Well, I was so
Speaker 3: lucky in the nineties and he passed on regards again,
Speaker 3: he's just been diagnosed with cancer. As Malcolm, really Malcolm
Speaker 3: came to us. It was literally socialism. So it was
Speaker 3: like anywhere everyone has got basically the same rights, chiefs
Speaker 3: the captain, but if any it's got an idea, chirp
Speaker 3: up and do it now. When he left, another coaches
Speaker 3: come in, those younger players go yeah, I got an
Speaker 3: idea the coach you go sorry in that, but like
Speaker 3: malcolmarin a really tough regime as far as physically, but
Speaker 3: there are no mind games, and that just formed a family,
Speaker 3: you know. I think when I look at the modern
Speaker 3: games sometimes there is so much analysis there. I hear
Speaker 3: there are so many meetings and video sessions that regardless
Speaker 3: if it's a business or professional sport, you've still got
Speaker 3: to love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You don't win to comp just purely on discipline. You
Speaker 3: have to you have to love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. Before we move off your football,
Speaker 1: can you please tell my favorite story you've ever told me?
Speaker 1: Can you tell the Richie Fayoso story where the morgue.
Speaker 2: Oh the morgue? Yeah yeah, I like it already. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm forgetting his name. So yeah, they they just I
Speaker 2: need to get the story correct because it's been since
Speaker 2: I told this one.
Speaker 1: But I reckon it's five years I still read tell it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Mattie, you've been over the Super League, you
Speaker 2: know the relegation system. So Richie Farsa was part of
Speaker 2: a team that had just been relegated, and obviously you
Speaker 2: know everyone's you know down in the dumps, and I
Speaker 2: think he might have been playing for Castwood Tigers if
Speaker 2: they missed a season like that could be the team. Anyway,
Speaker 2: they used to have this crew over there. I know
Speaker 2: Richie Farsa was obviously one of them. Willie Manhu remember him,
Speaker 2: and there was one more. I think Graveyanni potentially guy
Speaker 2: played a little bit first grade. They used to call
Speaker 2: them the Mongrels. That was their nickname, right, and that
Speaker 2: was just around the area anyway, So those boys used
Speaker 2: to run a mark all the time. Anyway, they're getting
Speaker 2: relegated or whatever. But they're sitting together on made Monday
Speaker 2: and fast must just go off just with a mate
Speaker 2: somewhere and go get it, maybe go get some more
Speaker 2: schooners or whatever it may be. By this stage, the
Speaker 2: coach rolls in to Mad Monday. Anyway, he walks in
Speaker 2: and everyone's the music's blair and everyone's having a good
Speaker 2: time and laughing that. He goes turn off the music
Speaker 2: and he just gives everyone a spray. Mind you, Richie's away, right,
Speaker 2: so you haven't heard. He hasn't heard any of this.
Speaker 2: So he comes back in the team's got to spray.
Speaker 2: Everyone's sitting around all quiet and then when when Richie
Speaker 2: rolls back in, he sort of looks around and everyone's
Speaker 2: all quine and he goes, what is this a morgue?
Speaker 2: Someone hit the music now? And then apparently I think
Speaker 2: Madison is his name, gets up. He goes, that's the
Speaker 2: fucking problem with this club. You fucking munkle start spraying
Speaker 2: him again, But like, Fuss has missed your initial bit
Speaker 2: where he's sprayed him. So it's one of the great stories.
Speaker 2: Richie probably tells it a whole heap better, but he
Speaker 2: was just he goes, what is any he could do?
Speaker 2: That click thing? You know that someone hit the music
Speaker 2: and then everyone so like there's people laughing and then
Speaker 2: the coach gets up and he's screaming. But yeah, big,
Speaker 2: big uncle Fuss. He was one of my favorite teammates ever.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that is so he's got a.
Speaker 2: Really good Melbourne story as well. Have you heard that one?
Speaker 1: Is that the belly ach one Bally?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Frank Benissi was spraying him, but he's got
Speaker 2: one at every club.
Speaker 1: He was, Yeah, I'll try, Yeah, I remember someone really
Speaker 1: told it.
Speaker 2: It was do you know what the short version is? Frank?
Speaker 2: They weren't supposed to drink. Frank was spraying him in
Speaker 2: a team meeting in front overyone. Fuss was still half cut,
Speaker 2: so he thought he'd answer back like kit the music
Speaker 2: something like that. And then after he was going for
Speaker 2: about ten seconds, and then Bali was sitting in the
Speaker 2: mere and goes, Fuss, shut the fuck up and sit.
Speaker 1: Down, and then he, yeah, I'm pretty sure it was
Speaker 1: something like the couple spray for all of them being
Speaker 1: on the piece, and Frankie was just going just a
Speaker 1: standard sort of spray from the GM gun, you know,
Speaker 1: and you bloody idiots, you shouldn't be going out and
Speaker 1: drinking when you like. And then he got it and
Speaker 1: he goes he goes, are you calling an idiot, Frank
Speaker 1: And then apparently it was just like dead air Bell
Speaker 1: just go still sitting still, sitting in his ritchie, shut.
Speaker 2: Up and said, that's right. We called him a name.
Speaker 2: He's like, but it wasn't alluding to a couple of
Speaker 2: you idiots. Whatever he goes, you call an idiot trying
Speaker 2: to step him out, and Belly told him to sit down.
Speaker 4: A couple of confidence schooners retirement tough at first, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was, it was okay for me, mate, I was
Speaker 4: pretty lucky, sort of come back from overseas.
Speaker 2: Love my time overseas spending. I played two years for
Speaker 2: Catalans and then a year and a half a Wakik.
Speaker 3: Quickly on that was living and perpgnon love.
Speaker 2: It, loved it. Yeah, it took a while, Like we
Speaker 2: had a really loose crew there the first year. Who
Speaker 2: was Todd Carney, good Start, Dave.
Speaker 3: Taylor, William Mason, this could be, this could be all start,
Speaker 3: this is.
Speaker 2: This was an all star team. Gifty Glenn Stewart was
Speaker 2: over there as well. I loved a schooner. And then
Speaker 2: the wild card and a guy that might not a
Speaker 2: lot of people know is Paul Yton the Sharks. Yep
Speaker 2: mate little Cormel he was. He was loose. So yeah,
Speaker 2: we had a we had a really bad gang. We
Speaker 2: were coming first equal going into the magic Ground over there,
Speaker 2: which is about halfway through the season, Maddie, and then
Speaker 2: we nearly didn't make the eight because summer hit and
Speaker 2: all the beach bars open, and then that that accumulation
Speaker 2: of that crew just went just went wild, and they
Speaker 2: apparently Mitchie Pierce just spent some time over there. He
Speaker 2: come back and said they still talk about our crew.
Speaker 2: Like there's an example the use they used the sixteen year,
Speaker 2: and then there's another year when Chris Walker was there,
Speaker 2: Texas was there, and they talk about those two crews
Speaker 2: and if you know, none of that she shit happens
Speaker 2: anymore and all that.
Speaker 3: How did how did the French react? When you're walking
Speaker 3: down to the beach and big Dave Taylor's down with
Speaker 3: his shirt off, just walking around by the coal train.
Speaker 3: They must have been going, who the fuck? What is
Speaker 3: that the side?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the big behemoth he was, and he'd really blown
Speaker 2: out over there too, so he was about one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty of the best. Yeah, he's right around on
Speaker 2: that you know those little mini skateboards yep.
Speaker 1: Kenny skateboard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was about that big. So he used to
Speaker 2: just be cruising up up cana Plage. They caught it,
Speaker 2: which is can a beach, no shirt on and just
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes have a beer in his hand.
Speaker 1: All those poor wheels they would have been hanging on
Speaker 1: for dear life.
Speaker 2: But yeah, big big koalie. Yeah, it was the black.
Speaker 3: I remember once shaking his hand and his hand was
Speaker 3: like felt like about six inches thick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we used to have pints over there, everyone
Speaker 2: drinks points. No one drinks schooners, and then they do
Speaker 2: have schooners and middies if you want to drink them,
Speaker 2: but you know, everyone has a point and the yeah,
Speaker 2: the pint would look like a schooner or a midty
Speaker 2: in his hand when he drank it, like looked like
Speaker 2: he was completely covering all the rest of us, you know,
Speaker 2: as you know I remember.
Speaker 1: So after then, so I I want to play with
Speaker 1: the Sunny Coast Falcons as Melbourne's feeder club in twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen and I was eighteen years old. We had a
Speaker 1: good young side. Harry Grant was in it, Jeromes Hughes
Speaker 1: was in it, Paps was in it. And we come
Speaker 1: up against the Capras rock Hampton. So after then Dave
Speaker 1: Taylor came back and started playing for the rock Hampton
Speaker 1: for the c Q Capras. So we come up against him.
Speaker 1: And at this plaint, if you thought he blew out
Speaker 1: in Purpagnon, let me tell you something, he must have
Speaker 1: swallowed himself again over there, because when he was playing
Speaker 1: for rock Hampton he would have been one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1: I couldn't even recognize him and he was the back
Speaker 1: roller opposite me.
Speaker 3: And it must have been terrifying, you must I.
Speaker 1: Was shooting myself. The only thing I had on him
Speaker 1: was because at that stage he must have backed himself
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a half bat, so he
Speaker 1: wouldn't really run at you. He'd like get it and
Speaker 1: then try to chip and chase some shit over you.
Speaker 1: But he didn't have the speed like he once had,
Speaker 1: so we're just bouncing like peraps would pick it up.
Speaker 2: Is the second most just purely talented player ever played with,
Speaker 2: behind Hainsey, who could just do crazy staff but skill
Speaker 2: level chip and chases like he was doing that in
Speaker 2: the Super League for a period of that year. Quick
Speaker 2: off the mark strong as an ox just ticked all
Speaker 2: the boxes. Just the conditioning and keeping the weight off
Speaker 2: was his biggest drama.
Speaker 3: Hardest thing. Wow, So like coming back, what's the first
Speaker 3: job in the meet? Was that your goal?
Speaker 2: No, not at all. No. I got pretty lucky with it.
Speaker 2: So talking about normally before him, James Cigar and Isaac
Speaker 2: John had a clothing brand called y ktr YEP. It
Speaker 2: done really well for maybe the two or three years
Speaker 2: that I was overseas, but we were we become really
Speaker 2: close to my last year at Many just single boys,
Speaker 2: end of the season, footy trips, BALI, all that sort
Speaker 2: of stuff. So during that period I was away, I
Speaker 2: sort of just come back and started flying with those boys.
Speaker 2: Once I got back, did some stuff with them. Didn't
Speaker 2: anticipate it was Isaac was the one who was pretty
Speaker 2: much running everything. And he goes, mate, like, I'm you
Speaker 2: got this thing going on. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: We're going to do some sports stuff, but at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, it's all about the merch people.
Speaker 2: Remember this, Like one point, it's huge. It was huge,
Speaker 2: like around them everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, Isaac said, just come and give the
Speaker 2: podcast stuff a go. But like a point of difference
Speaker 2: was because I was a mad US sports fan. I
Speaker 2: would just only interview players, nothing about footy, very little
Speaker 2: about footy, and all about you know, who their favorite
Speaker 2: NBA team is, English Premier League if need be, Like
Speaker 2: I could go there because I just loved all sports.
Speaker 2: Then it slowly just organically grew got bigger and bigger,
Speaker 2: and then you know, the platform become bigger. I ended
Speaker 2: up making a shift about three years ago. I was
Speaker 2: just doing a potty with Mace because because me and
Speaker 2: Mace went back to the Catalan and manly days. We
Speaker 2: started doing show together sort of float into levels and
Speaker 2: then it's it's weird, like there's no like real moment
Speaker 2: where I was like, oh, this is what I'm going
Speaker 2: to do now and I'm going to lock in and
Speaker 2: doing it. But just over time started getting the reps.
Speaker 3: Scope taking that step. Because one of the most difficult
Speaker 3: things when you retire is when you play within a
Speaker 3: system of play or a team. Everyone has code words,
Speaker 3: you know, am B, defender and get to this, and
Speaker 3: one of the I think sometimes the mistake or the
Speaker 3: most difficult thing when you're retire is going away and
Speaker 3: finding a vocabulary that allows you to explain but not
Speaker 3: using the terms that you're used to. Is actually going
Speaker 3: away and fighting your vocabulary. You're very good at that,
Speaker 3: is it had something you had to work on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've got better over the years. But yeah,
Speaker 2: because and even sort of going back to the stuff
Speaker 2: about the video early on, like I've always been very observant.
Speaker 2: I've always been a punter and like as the boys know,
Speaker 2: I love a punt, a bit of a gamble. I
Speaker 2: used to play heaps of cards, so I was really
Speaker 2: big on mannerisms. But then because one of the best
Speaker 2: traits I've got from that is I just love soaking
Speaker 2: stuff in, like watching people. So I watched heaps of
Speaker 2: content and then started to realize the space was going
Speaker 2: where it was and then sort of just try to
Speaker 2: pivot and try to find my own way in. But
Speaker 2: even with the sen stuff now, which is asolutely love
Speaker 2: you get to work with, you know, every now and
Speaker 2: again we chat with you, Maddie, but sugar is completely
Speaker 2: different to obviously Bear's head when I have to fill
Speaker 2: in on the run home, and then I've got Jimmy
Speaker 2: Smith on Sundays. So I've just been trying to take
Speaker 2: little pieces from all of them as much as I
Speaker 2: can and try to learn, because you know, when you
Speaker 2: get the opportunity to be around guys with heaps of experience.
Speaker 2: The last couple of years, I've been chalk and cheese.
Speaker 2: If you listen to some of my potties early on,
Speaker 2: and you know, I really struggled as to be expected,
Speaker 2: but I feel like I've got a lot better.
Speaker 1: Than you ever go back and listen to some of
Speaker 1: the earlier just to sit you're sitting in the car
Speaker 1: and go wonder how I sounded back then.
Speaker 2: I did a couple of years ago. I sort of
Speaker 2: I think I'm more confident in myself now where I
Speaker 2: don't really have to go back and listen to them.
Speaker 2: There are still, you know, like lessons that you can
Speaker 2: get from that store of stuff, but now it's more
Speaker 2: Now I'm sort of learning enough other people because I
Speaker 2: think I've got past the point where I feel comfortable
Speaker 2: enough in myself and my own skin because I had
Speaker 2: mad imposter syndrome doing it to begin with, Like when
Speaker 2: I started the potty and youve got to remember, this
Speaker 2: is like twenty nineteen eighteen. Sorry, end of twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: no one was doing any of this stuff in our
Speaker 2: area as strong as it is now. Now it's really competitive,
Speaker 2: but I was like, no one wants to listen to me,
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, played like a journeyman rugby league player.
Speaker 2: So then once I got confident in that stage and
Speaker 2: then started to get more opportunities, and I started to
Speaker 2: really just embrace it and sort of know where my
Speaker 2: role was and what I do well, and yeah, just
Speaker 2: loving it now, like you're doing a little bit of everything,
Speaker 2: and the level stuff works really well with Mace again,
Speaker 2: another personality to work with. And then at the end
Speaker 2: of the week, I do sen So yeah, I really
Speaker 2: enjoying it.
Speaker 1: What Willie Mason I wanted because I want to not
Speaker 1: ask out the great need attain one of the greats.
Speaker 1: It's someone that doesn't strike me as being a lot
Speaker 1: of help with preparing for a rundown. Would that be
Speaker 1: fair to say, would you be doing a lot of
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting?
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: I do a fair bit of the I guess I
Speaker 2: was saying to Jack before. There's almost like a little
Speaker 2: bit of producing going into it. I come up with
Speaker 2: the plans. I make sure I watch everything. I watch
Speaker 2: every game, I watch every important show, all the best analysts,
Speaker 2: and you try to get as many of the views
Speaker 2: as I can before to formulate a show. And then
Speaker 2: Mace can just take that wherever he wants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he doesn't.
Speaker 2: He honestly just says. And he and even though like
Speaker 2: I don't know how much he watches every weekend and
Speaker 2: he probably doesn't watch any more of the shows, but
Speaker 2: he watches. He watches more footy than probably people give
Speaker 2: him credit for him. But he can come in after
Speaker 2: I've seen seven different views, and I feel like I've
Speaker 2: formulated exactly where I wanted to go on a Monday morning.
Speaker 2: And then he just says something and it takes its
Speaker 2: own different, different turn and it goes viral and people
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 3: Well, that's a perfect combination. You're hearing for him. He's gay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sliding doors moment, mate, it's a full circle come
Speaker 1: back around.
Speaker 2: I wanted to.
Speaker 3: Sliding doors circle, mate, two completely different things. One is
Speaker 3: an oblong, the other one is circle.
Speaker 1: We're bringing it back to the sliding doors. Another sliding
Speaker 1: doors moment's just come to my head. Willie Mason. He
Speaker 1: went after a certain Newcastle player one time by the
Speaker 1: name of Tyson gamble Jack. Were you at the club
Speaker 1: at the.
Speaker 5: State some of my final days at the club?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you want to know?
Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to get Scot's perspective first,
Speaker 1: because when you're doing a podcast, you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of good relationships with players. And then Mace comes out
Speaker 1: calling the night, calling the Knight's spine the worst in
Speaker 1: the comp outside of klem Ponger, and that Tyson Gambill
Speaker 1: was a reserve grade, to which he bit straight back
Speaker 1: and come back at yous. How do you sit in
Speaker 1: that space because you like to have a healthy relationship
Speaker 1: with a lot of the boys, right.
Speaker 2: Look, I understand that's what makes us unique compared to
Speaker 2: anyone else. So look, even though I disagree with the
Speaker 2: take and I said it, I said it to him.
Speaker 2: I was like, mate, come on, Like we started talking
Speaker 2: about the spines and I was trying to, you know,
Speaker 2: think about it, but it was so it was out
Speaker 2: of nowhere, so like I can't sit there and plan
Speaker 2: and then start trying to backtrack and try to find
Speaker 2: worse spines in the competition. Anyway, and then and then
Speaker 2: Tyson come back and it was so funny, and you know,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, awesome, right here we go. We've got
Speaker 2: a little bit of something here that we can use
Speaker 2: for for the next episode. And then he went row.
Speaker 2: So people don't realize, like it wasn't the the podcast stuff.
Speaker 2: He started tweeting tweeting Tyson, so you remember he said
Speaker 2: what he said on the potty and then Tyson, I
Speaker 2: believe what I was told. Tyson said it tongue in
Speaker 2: cheek to a journal, but it's just on the fine print.
Speaker 2: So of course, like he was just going, yeah, Mace
Speaker 2: can fuck yeah, he can fuck off or whatever like that.
Speaker 2: But it was apparently just you know, very casual or
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. It was exclamation say anyway, So
Speaker 2: that's what make Seeson ego read there. The next week,
Speaker 2: they're playing the Warriors over there, Tyson has a rough
Speaker 2: game and May starts tweeting he's the worst fucking six
Speaker 2: more time or whatever it was. So it wasn't actually
Speaker 2: the podcast stuff. So and then all the backlash come
Speaker 2: off the back of it. We had people like because
Speaker 2: I control the socials for us, me and Luky do
Speaker 2: we can see we get all the d ms and
Speaker 2: that they come back from it. And there was so
Speaker 2: much coming back during that period, and then it got
Speaker 2: to the point where I was like, all right, now
Speaker 2: we need it, Like this was gonna be fun this week.
Speaker 2: But because of that tweet and because he's gone at
Speaker 2: him and just completely hammered him, I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: we've got to pull back. And then we lucky, you know,
Speaker 2: we're not live with the podcast like you got some
Speaker 2: but because there were some times where he just went on,
Speaker 2: you could see him he's just like ready to talk
Speaker 2: about the Knights, and then we talked about the Knights
Speaker 2: and he'd just hammer him for a two or three minutes.
Speaker 2: We'd have to take it out, like I haven't told
Speaker 2: him a couple of times, so mate, we can't. That's
Speaker 2: that's that hard. Yeah. I remember.
Speaker 5: I remember SKA bike because I was sort of understood
Speaker 5: this space not always tip blokes up with little things
Speaker 5: like around, you know, those sorts of headlines and how
Speaker 5: it is perceived on text versus someone actually saying it.
Speaker 5: I remember saying to a few of the boys, you
Speaker 5: because remember, blokes were sharing it. I remember because there
Speaker 5: was a few headlines on whatever platforms and blokes were
Speaker 5: re sharing it saying like, you know, bullshit and whatever
Speaker 5: on their social media, Like I'm sure you guys got
Speaker 5: like would have seen a spike numbers, yeah, and social
Speaker 5: media through that period. It was a bit like a
Speaker 5: Tyson's a champion fella. Now he cops a lot of
Speaker 5: you know, for the way he plays. When he came
Speaker 5: down for Brisbane. Honestly, I didn't even think he had
Speaker 5: a bad bone in his body until he played around
Speaker 5: to like art when the ball went up to David
Speaker 5: Nofluma and I'd heard words and I heard hadn't heard
Speaker 5: in the football team for years, but honestly, is that
Speaker 5: good a fella. But the thing was it was a
Speaker 5: bit of a you could tell after a period that
Speaker 5: Willy was playing the game.
Speaker 2: This is where I disagree and a lot of things
Speaker 2: you're saying there. Jack Kyler messaged me by the way
Speaker 2: he messaged me and goes, mate, Tyson's a legend, like
Speaker 2: you know, sort of not not levels me directly because
Speaker 2: we've done a few things together. And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just sort of saying to Mace, I said, to
Speaker 2: mace's getting a bit carried away. I think the thing
Speaker 2: that sort of got Mace more frustrated is because of
Speaker 2: the backlash off the back of it, because he was
Speaker 2: getting hambled like a lot of Newie fans and he
Speaker 2: loves Newcastle. Mace loves Newcastle. So it divided a bit
Speaker 2: of a fan base as well because a lot of
Speaker 2: people sort of stuck up for Tyson. A lot of
Speaker 2: people were probably saying, you know, Tyson's a a good
Speaker 2: like a solid fire ay, but he's not the best.
Speaker 2: So all the back and forth, I think that's where
Speaker 2: Mace sort of got caught up in a little bit. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it dragged on a little bit longer than it
Speaker 2: had to. But he's he's complimentary now every now and again,
Speaker 2: Like it took a while to get past it, but yeah, like.
Speaker 3: I understand, will he taste things to the the MTh
Speaker 3: he takes things to the extreme. But you know, he
Speaker 3: has played proustraight, He's played the State of Origin, he's
Speaker 3: one Grand Finals, he's won of a Clove Churchill Medal.
Speaker 3: Now I look at Willie and you think, oh jeez,
Speaker 3: that's it's quite harsh. But I see what's far worse.
Speaker 3: People who first come into the media, whether it be
Speaker 3: their own podcasts or websites, and absolutely hammer players purely
Speaker 3: to try to get clicks, to try to get going.
Speaker 3: Like there used to be a time when you actually
Speaker 3: had to do your dues and go away to actually
Speaker 3: form o pinion land to these days people start, we'll
Speaker 3: just walk into the media and they're made us operandi
Speaker 3: to actually becoming someone in the media. It's just hammer
Speaker 3: as many players as they can and one of them
Speaker 3: will stick. Yeah, one will get traction.
Speaker 2: As you know, Mady like and being with mainstream media
Speaker 2: at times over the years, like that's sort of how
Speaker 2: that's what separated us in podcasts when I first started
Speaker 2: from mainstream media, it was more about good, feel good
Speaker 2: stories and educating people and telling a different side of
Speaker 2: story that probably the mainstream wouldn't have shown back in
Speaker 2: the day. And you used to be you know, some
Speaker 2: of the clickbait stuff. And then it's sort of like
Speaker 2: felt like, you know, there are people where it's gone
Speaker 2: full circle, it's gone back. In order to make yourself
Speaker 2: known in a podcast, you know this space, then you
Speaker 2: then you go hard and try to look for that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I reckon it was more just with Mace,
Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily about continuing continuing it with Tyson, felt like
Speaker 2: he was going back and forth a little bit with
Speaker 2: the fan bases.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was angry. Yeah, well I don't like like
Speaker 1: you do it quite well, Matthew. Where you've got to
Speaker 1: show where you sometimes have to be critical of players,
Speaker 1: sometimes have to be critical of players. You might know
Speaker 1: teammates of Jack and I, and you do it very
Speaker 1: well where you tell your honest opinion, but you don't
Speaker 1: need to. There's a lot of people on TV coverage
Speaker 1: who will sometimes just strip a player down on the
Speaker 1: back of on the back of articles and things or
Speaker 1: lack of form, but without providing a solution, you do
Speaker 1: it quite well.
Speaker 2: Where you go.
Speaker 1: This player isn't playing well. I think he needs to
Speaker 1: get back to this to get back to the level
Speaker 1: we know we can play out. And I think there's
Speaker 1: what players I know that what the current players don't
Speaker 1: like is they don't like like people just sort of
Speaker 1: hitting them straight between the eyes with no with no
Speaker 1: idea of how they could get better.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think we all know as players. I mean I
Speaker 1: could speak personally got Hammard quite a bit when I
Speaker 1: was playing, and you know, we all know what it's
Speaker 1: like when a journal would spray on TV and at
Speaker 1: the time you're going this journey.
Speaker 2: As well, like constructive criticism, Yeah, you take that. I
Speaker 2: I used to love that from coaches. Yep, so you
Speaker 2: know how to learn, you know what to work on.
Speaker 2: So coaches just drop me and don't say anything and
Speaker 2: brush you are, like, what are you going to learn
Speaker 2: from that?
Speaker 3: Well, I've had I've written articles sometimes and had angry
Speaker 3: calls from coaches, and I say to them straight up,
Speaker 3: I said, look, at the end of the day, I said,
Speaker 3: go back and read it. You've read it. You've read
Speaker 3: parts of it and taken offense. I've just written six
Speaker 3: hundred words of great advice for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, go and read it.
Speaker 3: Like people will get there and they're so sensitive because
Speaker 3: you say, look, he's not playing well. You know this
Speaker 3: side are struggling in this area. If they get back
Speaker 3: to that, and they'd take offense, and you go, if
Speaker 3: you're going to take offense of that, if you are
Speaker 3: so thin skinned you're taking offense of that, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: you're in the wrong game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say there actually are a few assistant
Speaker 1: coaches out there who listen to some of your some
Speaker 1: of the podcasts to get like information.
Speaker 2: For sure, there would yeah.
Speaker 3: Throwing off now I'm throwing throw off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, word, take some stuff off you.
Speaker 3: Well, it's you know, like it's it's so easy to
Speaker 3: just come out and say, oh, that's players ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah. People say, let's just we're not having and we're
Speaker 1: not having to go Macy.
Speaker 3: By the way, but Mace will come out and his
Speaker 3: initial he'll do an initial hit. But then he'll say
Speaker 3: why he believes that it's so easy if someone just
Speaker 3: got ah, mate, he can't play stuff like that. Well,
Speaker 3: if you if that's as big a critique as you
Speaker 3: can give someone. Well you got an IQ problem.
Speaker 2: Well that's a beauty with Mays too, right, Like, even
Speaker 2: though I'm super planned with what you know, how I
Speaker 2: think it's going to go and making sure we've got
Speaker 2: a show that could last a certain amount of time,
Speaker 2: he is watching all the games, so like, even though
Speaker 2: he might not be his planned or know where it's going,
Speaker 2: he's got an opinion on everything. He coaches and it's
Speaker 2: a strong opinion. Yeah, And he coaches younger and mentors
Speaker 2: younger kids, and and he's been in He's got a
Speaker 2: wealth of knowledge. Like he talks a lot about He's
Speaker 2: got really good relationships with Wayne and Gus over the years.
Speaker 2: Gus is a a bit of a mental for him.
Speaker 2: So when you're constantly around those guys, Yeah, some of
Speaker 2: the stuff he might say might blow people away, but
Speaker 2: it's not like it's like I said, even though it's
Speaker 2: he's not planning the show, there is thought process behind
Speaker 2: everything what he says.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, what's his mum? Is his mum going okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah I believe so. She had a bit of a
Speaker 2: scare about a year ago now, But yes, he goes
Speaker 2: up and I think his brother's living up up the
Speaker 2: Central coast.
Speaker 3: And les Now the younger brother was good football with
Speaker 3: the younger fellow.
Speaker 2: Coming through the Knights, was he So Mace's got I
Speaker 2: should probably know this a bit a bit better. But
Speaker 2: he's got about eight brothers and sisters maybe yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 3: But he had a younger brother coming through it the
Speaker 3: Knights in the under twenties. It was good. It was
Speaker 3: good football, really really good.
Speaker 1: Heath Mathan's noted to Mike tythan shit, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got my tongue and stuck between my teeth your
Speaker 1: tongue final, you know what? Before we get the loan
Speaker 1: story of the last little Mace thing, I remember the
Speaker 1: first time I ever knew what like, you know, the
Speaker 1: boys in the off season, they'll get an airbnb together
Speaker 1: and they'll lock in for a few days and I'll
Speaker 1: go down to the beach and have a drink. The
Speaker 1: first time I ever sort of was shown. That was
Speaker 1: actually Willie Mason and a few of his ex teammates.
Speaker 1: They rented a joint just around the corner from us here. Texted,
Speaker 1: remember that, texted Dad, say mate, come over, bring the boys.
Speaker 1: We got in there. Let me tell you something. They
Speaker 1: were well hydrated. It was quite it was it was
Speaker 1: about mid morning and questions one word for it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a few electro lights and yeah, I remember just going
Speaker 1: and going. Just why did you bring us to their day?
Speaker 3: I didn't realize till I actually walked in and realized
Speaker 3: I'd walk you into a mad Monday.
Speaker 1: Basically, yeah, yeah, it was a loose crew.
Speaker 3: So loans explain what it is. I'm not good to explain.
Speaker 1: This is the last thing we usually do. You're ready
Speaker 1: for this. So you listened to the party before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a clips guy. I listened to all the clips.
Speaker 1: So okay, yes, so that doesn't come it doesn't come
Speaker 1: down as a number. That's fine. It doesn't come out
Speaker 1: as a down for two seconds? Yes, sweet, perfect. So
Speaker 1: this segment, Loan Survivor, He's going to give you a
Speaker 1: category and then go It's like, would you rather give

Speaker 3: their show, like a producer of sorts, who did a
Speaker 3: bit of a skid on Georgie. Given the Georgie anyway,
Speaker 3: Georgie sent a message through to the producer. Our producer
Speaker 3: honestly was in the fetal position for three years.
Speaker 1: That would be scary. I remember first time I ever
Speaker 1: met him. I was down at Lockey Croker's birthday in
Speaker 1: two thousand and nineteen and Georgie was there blind and
Speaker 1: he mustn't have realized my last name was John's. And
Speaker 1: he kept calling me Jonesy. He kept going Cooper Jones,
Speaker 1: Cooper Jones, and the Brad Parker was going Georgie. He's
Speaker 1: named fucking John's.
