When the Sailor was one of Alan Langer 169 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 12: was another one. 170 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 9: You'd go in. 171 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 12: Alfred had toasted seamise chips and a strawberry milkshake. 172 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 9: I could never have that. 173 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 12: So jealous games and then and you will would get 174 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 12: on the bus with a leader of coke and chocolate 175 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 12: and chips and then have a burger and they didn't worry. 176 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 11: Here in the old day and Johnny Raper's legendary for 177 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 11: this having a night out before the match of the 178 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 11: day at the cricket ground, a mixed grell and eggs 179 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 11: for breakfast and run out and win man of the match, 180 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 11: you know. 181 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 10: And in the modern day with whatever Brian is doing, 182 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 10: its working course because and that's why I wouldn't be 183 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 10: changing it. 184 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 13: I'll be sticking to. 185 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: The superstition to a lot of players. If they have 186 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: the same meal and have success eating that meal, they 187 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: don't change it. 188 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 13: It's like I still reckon six cake zeros. Wouldn't you 189 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 13: feel a bit cooked? 190 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 9: Might have added a bit of gst to. 191 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 12: Just like you, well, make you goodbye three and get 192 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 12: three free one of those deals. 193 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: But all right, but you got some genuine male on 194 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary the kicking session, really. 195 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 7: Interesting story today. 196 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 11: The ground round is normally out of bounds of core 197 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 11: stadium until the captain's run and the NRLW teams and 198 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 11: the NRL teams will both get access for a couple 199 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 11: of hours on Saturday and they're staggering and so they 200 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 11: don't bump into each other. But Nathan went to Home 201 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 11: Books today and had about an hour and a half 202 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 11: just goalkicking. Apparently he's banging them over from everywhere as 203 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 11: you'd expect. It's a really interesting story in that I 204 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 11: reckon these sides are so close that goalkicking is going 205 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 11: to be so important. Most Penrith tries are six pointers 206 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 11: and can Melbourne do four or six pointers? 207 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 7: I looked at their averages. 208 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 11: Cleary kicks eighty four percent, Nick Mooney kicks seventy eight percent, 209 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 11: But it just shows some professionalism offered to. 210 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 9: Both clubs or both kickers thing what's happening. 211 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 7: I don't think it was offered. 212 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 11: I think Penrith rang up and asked for it, and 213 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 11: I'm sure if Nick Moondy did the same thing that 214 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 11: allowed that tomorrow. 215 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 10: Does goalkick in change breath from stadium to stadium or 216 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 10: is it not? 217 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 13: Really? 218 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, well it can if they're more stadiums are 219 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: more exposed, and there's more breeze and more when that 220 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: comes into play, But not really. I think it's mostly psychological. 221 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: And if there's a psychological avengage, we know who's got that. 222 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: No one's better than Nathan Cleary and again big moments, 223 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: so they probably do have the advtage there buzz and 224 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: that helps as well. I think that Melbourne Doorbe tried 225 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: to get on Alliance, but they're renovating the turf because 226 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: they're staying in Double Bay and they couldn't get on there, 227 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: so they've been at Lighthart, I believe. Anyway, Pirate Pete 228 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: Peter fit Simons wants to bed the kickoff. 229 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: Are we back here again? 230 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 9: Look? 231 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 11: I mentioned the show on Monday, two thousand, six hundred 232 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 11: and twenty two kickoffs this year and less than a 233 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 11: handful of concussions. It's silly. It's maybe something we'll have 234 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 11: to at least discuss in the future. I've just given 235 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,119 Speaker 11: you the averages of how often it happens. 236 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 7: And twenty two it's one every six hundred games, nearly, 237 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 7: you know. 238 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, I like that the giggle breath when I saw 239 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 10: it up there and Pirate Peets hopped down off h 240 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 10: m A. S. Mossman and taking the bandanna off and 241 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 10: he wants the lecturous about rugby league again. Last time 242 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 10: I looked stick to rugby. The last time I looked, 243 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 10: the Wallabies weren't going. I think they've just lost another series. 244 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 10: The game's half part going around the spend in Australia 245 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 10: as it is. 246 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 13: I'll be more worried about. Look, I don't know what 247 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 13: he wanted be like me. 248 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 7: Writing about concussion happens in sport. You know, I don't 249 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 7: think you. 250 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: We have rugby league reporters writing about rugby union at 251 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: the moment and concerns about this. 252 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 13: But would you wait into rugby union? 253 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 7: I often do. Yes, I do. 254 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: If someone, if someone. 255 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: After coming through as teenagers, Nathan Cleary injury, Loui will 256 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: have one last ride for the Panthers in Sundays Decider 257 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: and Jake Duke caught up with the Star halves earlier today. 258 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 3: Well, these two are playing their last game together for 259 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 3: the Penrith Panther is a pleasure to be joined by 260 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 3: superstars from Penrith. 261 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: Nathan Cleary Drome Loi Boyce. 262 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: First of all, how are you feeling about your last 263 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 3: game together in the Panthers colors and it just happens 264 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: to be a Grand Final? 265 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think it's more excitment than anything. 266 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 4: Obviously. 267 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 14: I think I might sinking after the game that it's 268 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 14: coming to an end.

So it's motivated me in 285 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 15: a positive way to make sure that I've won every day, 286 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 15: make sure that I'm my best and it sort of 287 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 15: trickles throughout throughout the group as well.

To be honest, 293 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 14: there's probably more, just a little scare in the game 294 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 14: and obviously it blew out of a portion from there. 295 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 14: But it feels really good. Been able to get through 296 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 14: a lot of exercises this week that I needed to 297 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 14: and get my prep right. And yeah, it's just a 298 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 14: question that's constantly an answer at the moment, but it's fine. 299 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 9: Drum. 300 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: Do you think Leah Martin's going to be shooting out 301 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 3: of the line looking for Cameron Munster because I heard 302 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: that they've been into each other in the media, but 303 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 3: I just saw them cuddling back over here. But I 304 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 3: still imagine Liam will be had to get him on 305 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: Sunday night. 306 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 9: Yeah, I hope. 307 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 15: So I'm sort of counting on you know. But Motto's 308 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 15: an ultimate competitor, especially when it comes to rugby league. 309 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 15: He loves the game so much and I know he 310 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 15: loves this group of boys. He loves winning as well, 311 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 15: So I think you can guarantee he's going to go 312 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 15: out there and give it his best. 313 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: Just finally, on the Melbourne Storm, your assessment of them. 314 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: You played them twice this year, they've got the better 315 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: of you, but they've been very tight games. How do 316 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: you stop a team with such attacking flair on Sunday? 317 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 14: Yeah, well, pretty much anytime I versed him over the 318 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 14: last five years. So it's been a tight, tight game. 319 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 14: And you know, they've got the better of us this year, 320 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 14: and they're a great side. Have a lot of admiration 321 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 14: for what they've only done this year, but they've done 322 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 14: previously and consistently at the highest level. So it's going 323 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 14: to be a great challenge. But saying you know, we're 324 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 14: really looking forward to I think just from a fans perspective, 325 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 14: like it's the two best teams this year, it's it's. 326 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 4: Just going to be great.

Do you think the emotions will get to 330 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: you as you're kind of walking into a course stadium 331 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 3: boombox blaring? 332 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 4: How do you think you'll be feeling? 333 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 15: I don't want it to be much different than what 334 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 15: I've already experienced, you know, and I think experience is 335 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 15: the greatest teacher. I've been able to lucky enough to 336 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 15: be a part of this great team and be in 337 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 15: a lot of big games. I don't want it to 338 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 15: be much different. I want to enjoy the occasion, and 339 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 15: I know the competitor inside me is going to be 340 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 15: excited to get out there and give them my best shot. Man, 341 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 15: So with my big dog here, you know we're going 342 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 15: to ride out for sure. 343 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: It's been a pleasure watching you two play together. Don 344 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: want to enjoy it one more time. Thanks for your time, boys. 345 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a very special relationship. Those two players 346 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: who have had so much success, a lot more than 347 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: many others that have played before them in our game, 348 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: and they've got one last dance together. 349 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 11: Thoughts on this I was just saying to Hoops as 350 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 11: I looked at those two men and the success they've had, 351 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 11: and you start thinking Sterling, Sterling and Kenny, start thinking 352 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 11: Daily and Stuart and Langer and Walters. 353 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 7: You know that's the one of these grand titles, the 354 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 7: great players. It's sad. I don't want to keep saying 355 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 7: the words sad. I think it's a. 356 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 11: Shame that he's going to West Tigers next year. I 357 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 11: loved Dynasties and I love the fact that you know 358 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 11: they don't play repporty. 359 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 7: I guess they came for New South Wales in the future. 360 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 11: But I've got them up there alongside those great comminations. 361 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 9: Months to beat them. 362 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 12: Raman Monster would have beaten them in two Grand finals 363 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 12: that they played against them, and that's probably who you 364 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 12: judge them against. And you've got Elf that played against 365 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 12: Ricky and Alf and you've got the Kenny that was 366 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 12: like a little bit before. You can only judge them 367 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 12: on who they play against. 368 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 13: Yeah. Yeah, to make five straight ground it's unbelievable. 369 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 10: It's a salary cap Yeah, you're right, that is a 370 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 10: phenomenal achievement. I don't think it's sad buzz that Jerme's 371 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 10: leaving because it's a salary cap era and you can't 372 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 10: keep everybody. 373 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 7: He played life together. 374 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 13: But the different there was no salary cap back there. 375 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 9: Ricky went to the dogs to be happy. 376 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 11: You know, I don't want to use the word it's 377 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 11: I like seeing dynasties. I love seeing champions play alongside 378 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 11: each other. It turned the television on every week to 379 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 11: watch that Harves combination. 380 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 7: Same with Melbourne. As you said, well, when you. 381 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 10: Make the comparison with Peter Stelling and Brett Kennedy. They 382 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 10: obviously won two eighty three. Well these blokes have replicated that. 383 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 13: But in the modern era. 384 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 10: So it is a very fair question, winning mate, But 385 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 10: it is a fair question and a fair conversation. 386 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 13: All right. 387 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Melbourne hasn't won a title since Kemern Smith retired. 388 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: Jake Juke spoke with captain Harry Grant and the coach 389 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: about creating their own legacy. 390 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 3: Pleasure to be joined by Melbourne Storm coach and captain 391 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 3: Craig Bellamy. Harry Grant, gentlemen, thank you so much for 392 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 3: your time with Grant final week. 393 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 4: Craig, I want to start with you. 394 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 3: A fantastic night last night for the club, Jerome Hughes 395 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 3: taking home the main award and some other awards amongst 396 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 3: the team. 397 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 4: How pleasing were you to see you're half back win? 398 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 10: Yeah? 399 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 9: I was wrapped. I think everyone in the club was wrapped. 400 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 5: You we know he's what he's done for our team 401 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 5: this year, like on the field, but he's just such 402 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 5: a lovely blake, really humble guy. You know, he doesn't 403 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 5: expect anything of anybody that he's not willing to do himself, 404 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 5: you know, so he's very popular around the club and 405 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 5: obviously the whole club was rapped to see him take 406 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 5: the award last night. 407 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: Harry, obviously our first Grand final, you weren't there in 408 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: twenty twenty when the storm last one. What's it mean 409 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 3: to you to kind of finally be here, arriving on 410 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 3: the big stage and how are you feeling? 411 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm excited. This is what you play footy for, 412 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 16: and this is what you go through a pre season, 413 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 16: throughout the whole season, and this week's probably a reflection, 414 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 16: a chance to reflect and you sort of realize how 415 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 16: much time effort you put in to putting yourself in 416 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 16: this position. Then it's all about what we can do 417 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 16: this week to prepare well and make sure we play 418 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 16: well on Sunday, because yeah, there's one more game to 419 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 16: go and you don't want to miss out on that opportunity. 420 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 9: So it's really important. 421 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 16: It's exciting, it's a great opportunity and yeah, something we 422 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 16: don't take for granted. 423 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 3: What's it been like captaining in this context? Obviously it's 424 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 3: your first years captain. Then you're coming into your first 425 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 3: Grand Final as well. Obviously there's guys on the team 426 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: that have been there before. How have you handled that 427 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 3: leadership role this week? 428 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 16: Yeah, it's probably a little different, and I've definitely asked 429 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 16: some questions this week, lent on a few other people 430 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 16: within the club or without so externally that aren't involved 431 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 16: in the club as well, And probably it's probably get 432 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 16: sick of me asking questions at times some people. But yeah, 433 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 16: for me, it's it's no different. You know, I haven't 434 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 16: been here, so I don't have the answers. You know, 435 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 16: it's probably Craigs the ones here in the ship through 436 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 16: the week. 437 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 3: Without giving away too much of your game plan, how 438 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: to I think you get the best of the Penrith 439 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 3: Panthers on Sunday again. 440 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 5: Now, we've got to be be aware of what their 441 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 5: strengths are and. 442 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, they're they're Tide three. 443 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 5: Make a lot of moves for them and do a 444 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 5: lot of work for them. But the main thing for 445 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 5: us is to make sure that. 446 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 13: We know what works for us. 447 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 5: As well, and we've just got to make sure we're 448 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 5: doing that right from the start. 449 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: Just finally, Craig, obviously this is the first Grand Final 450 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 3: when none of the original Big three are left. Does 451 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: it feel different? Does it feel like it's almost the 452 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 3: start of a new legacy or era for these guys. Now, 453 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 3: the new big four that you've got in your side. 454 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 13: Oh, I think the new era. 455 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 9: I felt like a new era. 456 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, when Kevin retired in twenty and then Harry come 457 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 5: back and we had to find a way of getting 458 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 5: back and burning competitive or staying competitive to be quite honest, 459 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 5: and yeah, I think we've just found the players and 460 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 5: then coach them and see how they they've combined. And 461 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 5: I think the players have done really good job. 462 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 4: Gentlemen, Thank you so much for your time, Good luck 463 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 4: on Sunday. 464 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 5: Thanks thanks Mane, Thanks Lott, thank you Ja. 465 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: Yes, it is the new era for the Melbourne Storm. 466 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: They haven't won a premiership since the likes of Billy Slater, 467 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: Cooper Kronk and Cameron Smith, so it really is a 468 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: big test for them and I wouldn't call it a 469 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: monkey on their back, but it definitely the big release 470 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: if they you get it done. 471 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 2: Without those superstars that left a few years ago. 472 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 12: Now, I think you know, when you lose someone like 473 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 12: Cameron Smith so dominant, one of the greatest players ever 474 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 12: to play the game, you've got. 475 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 9: To probably reinvent yourself. And with Harry Green. 476 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 12: I think the way that he's added to his game, 477 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 12: I think that they're ready now. But it's to lose 478 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 12: such a dominant player as in Billy Cooper and those guys. 479 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 12: I think, you know, this is their time and then, 480 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 12: like if I put myself back in the Brisbane situation, 481 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 12: I didn't feel like that I won a Grand Final. 482 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 12: I want to play with health and Kevy. Once Elf left, 483 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 12: I felt like we won in two thousands. I know 484 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 12: Munster and those guys will have that feeling. 485 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 10: That's interesting, and you raise a great point in that 486 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 10: this is their time. They get the chance now to 487 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 10: write their own legacy. But if they don't win on Sunday, 488 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 10: then you say the monkey on their back. It isn't 489 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 10: a monkey on their back yet, but if they don't 490 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 10: win then it will become a question as they continue 491 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 10: to roll. 492 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 7: Through it, what do you forget? Who's that Grand Final side? 493 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 11: I think they've lost twelve of them and ten of 494 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 11: them are still playing at other clubs. And we talk 495 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 11: about Canterbury all the time, taking the three great Penrith 496 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 11: players and them losing all those high profile players.

And I thought 536 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 11: it was a really nice touch last night when Cooper 537 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 11: was on stage that Jerome Hughes acknowledged the assistance he'd 538 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 11: been given and the coaching as a consultant there at Storm. 539 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 11: And I wouldn't be surprised if in some way he 540 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 11: might be tactically involved, you know, would of course Craig 541 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 11: Bellamy had sound him out, wouldn't he. 542 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: And I don't know, you're you're telling the story. 543 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 11: Well, I'm just telling the story of what Jerome who 544 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 11: said last night. You know, I mean keeper had a 545 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 11: bit of a bump over it, you know, times it was, 546 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 11: but it was really nice. 547 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 9: They still do. 548 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 2: They still work this, Cooper still work with it. 549 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 11: I don't think Cooper still works with the NRL squad 550 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 11: at the Roosters. He's got a very soon your Rile 551 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 11: bringing through the next generation of Harps and yeah. 552 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 7: Well Jerome here thanked him last night. 553 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, maybe playing with him and. 554 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 11: The transition Hughes has made is one of the most 555 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 11: extraordinary transit I've ever seen for battling fullback. Lost his 556 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 11: spot to Papenhouse and had to find somewhere to play. 557 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 7: He's the best half of the comp. He's up there 558 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 7: last night with the biggest. 559 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: An amazing job. 560 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: And Cooper worked with In for a number of years there, 561 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: so I'm sure he played a deep part in that. 562 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: Now plenty tipping one of the great Grand Finals, I 563 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: certainly am. Do you guys agree, Yeah? 564 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 10: Absolutely, Look, they've been the runaway best two teams of 565 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 10: twenty twenty four all season. You can go through from 566 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 10: match up to matchup, whether you want to go Munster 567 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 10: and Cleary with Loiam Martin and Sean Blah opposing each 568 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 10: other on one side, then you flipped to the other 569 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 10: and you got Hughes up against Jerome Lewie with their 570 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 10: creativity and the forward packs. The only question mark that 571 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 10: I have is just the loss of Nelson and how 572 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 10: big that that is, because he is their enforcer, he 573 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 10: is their big alpha. 574 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: He's a corner up with Fisher, Harris and the Oder 575 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: and you know, like the Melbourne Storm play above their 576 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: wait and have done all year. Can they do it 577 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: again on the big day against guys that you know 578 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: are going to turn up that that's the big. 579 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 7: Challenging twice this year? Is that right? 580 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 13: Yes? 581 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, well there you go. 582 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 11: I've seen some wonderful Grand Finals, the ninety seven Newcastle 583 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 11: Manly Cowboys Broncos twenty fifteen. I think, Gordy, we're going 584 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 11: to have something similar, something is exciting, possible, even Golden Point. 585 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 7: It is so so evenly matched. 586 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 14: It was. 587 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 13: Last year's was one of the all time epics as well. 588 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 9: Unbelievable. 589 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 12: Like I remember when they wanted Brisbane to play camera 590 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 12: like those two big poweruses. I got the feel about 591 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 12: these two. They've been the best side of all year 592 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 12: of the two heavyweights. They got the probably the best 593 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 12: coaches in the game and they're going at it. So 594 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 12: for me, you know, we have to pick a team. 595 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 12: But I don't know who's going to win. You just 596 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 12: don't know what's going to happen. And that's and that's 597 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 12: exciting for a Grand Final. 598 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 11: And that's where technically it's so interesting because we've got 599 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 11: two super coaches in the boxes were walking, talk is, 600 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 11: yelling and screaming me more than Cleary. One little call 601 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 11: from that box could change you know. 602 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 13: It's a great point, buzz Is. 603 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 10: It's hard to split because they've been the best two 604 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 10: coaches there for the last five seasons. But is there 605 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 10: a coach like does Craig Bellamy experience in the game 606 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 10: and he maybe has a little advantage in terms of 607 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 10: tactically or do you know what? 608 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 12: Do you know you're watching you try to read into things. 609 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 12: Last night watching the dai MS, Craig had a sip 610 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 12: of a bit. I know, it doesn't mean he looked 611 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 12: more relaxed than I've ever seen Craig Bellamy. You know 612 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 12: how intense is he looked so relax He walked in 613 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 12: and he's got and said black he didn't have the 614 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 12: beetlejuice jacket. And he walked in and he sat there 615 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 12: and I watch him and he's laughing and he's having 616 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 12: a bit that's not normally a coach p like, that's 617 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 12: not normally the Craig ballamy that I know. So maybe 618 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 12: he's done all the work. Maybe he's got a couple 619 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 12: of tricks up his sleep and then I haven't always looked. 620 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 7: Like, yeah, I haven't. 621 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 11: Didn't go last night, which was interesting, you know, with 622 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 11: such a big week, and I'm not going to bag 623 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 11: him for not being there. There were about eight coaches there, 624 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 11: but Bellyate was really relaxed. 625 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 10: History does tell us that the Melbourne storm, they've been 626 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 10: so good at niform and whatever little more neuent weakness 627 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 10: it is in oppositions and then exposing it. 628 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: He said that in the interview too, So he's done 629 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: his homework Craigville and he needs to keep it all 630 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: out and hopefully goes down to the wire. Now that's 631 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: a more a one year anniversary. 632 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 8: From the long runch Long. 633 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 2: Lunch with the Tigers base.
