1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Not on tinner three sixty league from every angle, gentleman, 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: the great Gordon Tallis. Let's bring the general Australian Jack 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Souper and Dave Rikio. 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 2: I've just noticed on the only bloke with hair on. 5 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 3: This panal today we're in that top of. 6 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: Sharks. They get enry at me. 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: Boys, come on all right, Sharks up against the Storm's going. 8 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: To be a big one. 9 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Nikko Heines is in form. The last two games have 10 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: been his best. Kevin Munster obviously he's been in good 11 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: form as well as have the Melbourne Storm. This sets 12 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: up to be an absolute beauty. 13 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 4: Absolute cracker and a really good test for the Sharks 14 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 4: guys because as we know, they've been the Burke and 15 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 4: Wills of the NRL. They've traveled far and wide and 16 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 4: they finally get back home for the first time in 17 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 4: about five to six weeks. It's a really good opportunity. 18 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 4: They fell short against the Bulldogs at home their first 19 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 4: series test against quality opposition. They lost to the Raiders, 20 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 4: another quality opposition. I think they'll be primed for this 21 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 4: to test the Storm. 22 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: As we saw in the teaser, a couple of these 23 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: games have got pretty under over the years. 24 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 5: Made. 25 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 6: I forgot about a lot of that, So that's that's 26 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 6: that's a lot of niggel and it will start again. 27 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 7: It'll be a salout one't Dave. Yeah yeah, Shark puck. 28 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 6: But look, Melbourne Storm hit some really good form last week. 29 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 6: They tended to give up later just put the Q 30 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 6: in the rank. But I don't think that's going to 31 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 6: happen in the Sharks. Well, Nico's starting to get his 32 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 6: running game back and it's going to be a great battle. 33 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 8: Now, there's an outstanding history in. 34 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 9: Terms of the rivalry, and that teaser did a brilliant 35 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 9: job of outlining at Will Chambers used to love it. 36 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 9: He was the king of the sledge and the king 37 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 9: of the niggle. He had plenty to say. Yeah, absolutely, 38 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 9: I'm going to remember covering a few of those games. 39 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 8: So there'll be plenty of feeling in this. 40 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 9: An opportunity for Cronella because yes, you know they have 41 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 9: been good to date, but Melbourne off the back of 42 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 9: a sixty Ford to annihilation over West Tigers. This will 43 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 9: give us a true reading on exactly where Coronell sit. 44 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: Well, we know what well we can do and they 45 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: are the premier Zape favorites of the mate. 46 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: We'll go into that a little bit later. 47 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: The Sharks are going under the radar and probably people 48 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: underrest to make them at the moment, or do they. 49 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is their first real test. They haven't 50 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: not real tests, but they haven't really beaten any heavyweights 51 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: this year. So this is their chance to, like you said, 52 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: stand up and put their hand up and show we'll 53 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: said the real deal. 54 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 2: Right. 55 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: Well, they went awfully closed. 56 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: Let's don't forget Las Vegas against the Raining Premiers. 57 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: They went awfully closed in Vegas. 58 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 4: And again that I mentioned it earlier, they had the 59 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: opportunity down in Canberra. They blew that with only seconds 60 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 4: to spare Bulldogs at home and this is their test. 61 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 4: Look there without Hazelton and Tige Wilton. I think they're 62 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: significant outs for the Sharks, but they do have depth. 63 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 4: They keep on bringing young talented forwards into this system. 64 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 4: Jesse Carlhourn's a great example. But to Hoops's point, we're 65 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: going to get a really good read on where they're at. 66 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 9: I think the fact that they've been beaten by the 67 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 9: Raining Premiers round one, but then also the Bulldogs and 68 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 9: the Raiders well as well, that probably gives you a 69 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 9: decent read that I don't think they are the top 70 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 9: four side that with the addition of Adam Fanoul or Blake, 71 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 9: everybody expected that they would be. So they're also still 72 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 9: finding their way in terms of their halves. Trendle was 73 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 9: on at the beginning of the year. Last few weeks 74 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 9: he's been a little shaky, whereas it's been Nicko who 75 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 9: was shaggy at the start of the year and has 76 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 9: been more dominant. 77 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 6: It comes first break the forward pack dominating all the halves. 78 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: Always the forward pack, always the forward pack. And you know, 79 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: Adam Fanil Blake was great last week. Nico Hines, as 80 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: I mentioned, has found his best form the last few weeks. 81 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: Trendle not so much so. Trendle's been kind of in 82 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: form on fire and Nicko wasn't so much. And then 83 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: now now they've swapped, can they can they both get 84 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: it together. If they can both find form at the 85 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: same time, they probably go to that top four echelon. 86 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 87 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: Look, one thing I know is the absolute belief that 88 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: Craig Fitzgibbon that to your point that these halves will 89 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 4: come together in time, and I think that's the key 90 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 4: point They're still very raw as a combination, still in 91 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 4: its infancy as far as building that trust. 92 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: How many games do you. 93 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 8: Think they've played for nearly two years? 94 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: No snow chance Nicko was away. 95 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 9: All they were the starting halves for the Sharks that 96 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 9: have been in the last year. Yeah they were, and 97 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 9: Trendle got suspended, Niko got injured. Yes, they've been in 98 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 9: and out, but still they've burned together twenty long half. 99 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 8: I wouldn't say that it's in a hin. 100 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 4: Hinds had injuries last year. We saw Rackings and play 101 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 4: some games. They haven't played a long stretch of consistent 102 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 4: football together. I think this is the season, no doubt, 103 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: this is the season where you want to see them go. 104 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 3: But it's a time thing. 105 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: And you're right. 106 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 4: Heines has been the dominant half and Trendle's been sitting back. 107 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: Neither one of them have been poor stretch. 108 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: It's just if they can both fire at the same time. 109 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: I think that would get them to the level they 110 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: need to be. Do you where do you happen to 111 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: take advantage you? 112 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 6: So what happens normally there's got to be a dominant half, 113 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 6: and Niko was trying to be the dominant half when 114 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 6: he was out, Trendle really stood up. Do they like 115 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 6: and are they trying to be too polite? Break You 116 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 6: need to get some guys and they and they don't 117 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 6: run the side. 118 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 7: They sit back a little. 119 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 6: But one bloke doesn't put the hand up and go 120 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 6: because Joey always take the rains made when he get injured. 121 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 6: But Joey always wanted the rains. The good ones want. 122 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: The rains in the I think he'd rather Niko be 123 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: the dominant half because we know what he can do 124 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: and second you know. 125 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: That's you'd probably prefer there. 126 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: They go into premiership contention if Niko is playing his 127 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: best for their team and he's the sole playmaker or 128 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: the dominant one. If Trindle is, they can get to 129 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: the finals. Not sure they could win a camp. If 130 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: Nico is playing great and Trindle's just playing a second fiddle, 131 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: that puts him in the premiership contention. 132 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: In my opinion, you'd prefer that the other way around. 133 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: Now, Harry Grant returns just in time for Origin this week. 134 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: Are the Storm clear premiership favorites? 135 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 7: I think they are. 136 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 8: I think that they have Bernal Susan Gordon. 137 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, last week, last week I think they they did 138 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 6: the last time he was getting beaten by the Raiders. 139 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 6: I think Dolpho's got them. You know, Saint George beat 140 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 6: them millionaire. It wasn't the Melbourne storm of the past 141 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 6: where they just shut you out and I thought that 142 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 6: there was no clear favorite. They did beat the Tigers 143 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 6: down there and that was the best eighty minute performance 144 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 6: they put in at. 145 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 9: If you look at their roster, David, I think they've 146 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 9: got the best depth of any of the seven one 147 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 9: teams in the competition. 148 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 8: If we don't want to see. 149 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 9: Anybody get hurt, but if anything happened to the Pap 150 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 9: of Hours and they've got to back up in sw 151 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 9: for Lockdow jonahezit's injured at the moment. But they've also 152 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 9: got great in a month well there you go. See, 153 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 9: so they've also got great depth in the halves. They're 154 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 9: pack with the addition of Stefano this season and now 155 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 9: Harry back this week. 156 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 8: I still think they are the benchmark side. 157 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 4: They're the benchmark side and they're the Premiership favorites because 158 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 4: it all comes back to what we know what wins 159 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 4: comps and it's the spine. They've got the best spine 160 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: in the comp pappen hous and Monster Hughes, Harry Grant. 161 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: Stop the fight seriously, most consistent spin absolutely. 162 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: And what was so impressive about the weekend? 163 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: And you could tell at halftime they had a big 164 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: lead and they've given those leads away even when they've 165 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: won games over the first half of the year. And 166 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: you could tell that at halftime. Bellamy said to them, 167 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: you win the second half and you don't con see points. 168 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: And they were fighting until the last second in this game, 169 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: which meant it means it been lots of them and 170 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: there was definitely extra effort to not do what they 171 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: had been doing so far this year. So they've got 172 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: the potential to be clear favorites. They're I don't think 173 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: they're quite there yet, right They've played the Tigers. Yes, 174 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: they Ham and it was down in Melbourne. The Tigers 175 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: were poor. We'll get a better read probably this week 176 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: against Cronulla if they are clear favorites or if last 177 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: week wasn't as good as what we maybe thought. You know, 178 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: I think I think this is a big game for 179 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: them as much as it is for Crnulla. 180 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 6: To me, Melbourne pretty much always play at the red 181 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 6: line they're always the most consistent, harder side to beat 182 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 6: in the competition. Then you get sides that can go up. 183 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 6: They can just change gears. Maybe Melbourne always play at 184 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 6: that level and that's why they blow sides the way 185 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 6: the Dogs and others. 186 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 7: The others need to change some gears. 187 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: The way the Dogs aren't. 188 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: But about a month ago you'd still have Melbourne well 189 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: and truly ahead of the Dogs just because of the team. 190 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: They've got the spine you just mentioned. But the way 191 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: the Dogs are playing, it's it's like they can beat Melbourne. 192 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: I think they can. If Melbourne are off, the Dogs 193 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: are a team, they can beat them. DC's contracts saga 194 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: now a lot going on. 195 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 8: We know that. 196 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: Does it have the capabilities of entering the Queensland camp 197 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: and derailing that at all? 198 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: Do you think? 199 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 7: Or is that wash your mouth out. 200 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: Cooper? 201 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: I think so. 202 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Here it is on the on the back page of 203 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: the Caurier Mail. So there's normally Queensland don't do this 204 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: to their. 205 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 6: You don't normally have to address it when you're in there, 206 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 6: but it'll be the elephant in the room, like where 207 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 6: you're going, especially Lindsay Collins or whatever. But someone's got 208 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 6: to make it a joke. That's where Elf. Elf has 209 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 6: always been good in camp. But like then make it 210 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 6: a joke, present him a rooster's jersey or a bulldog's 211 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 6: jersey or whatever and get on with it. 212 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 7: You know what I mean. But it shouldn't derail a 213 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 7: state of origins. 214 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 8: Is such a profession as the captain. 215 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 9: I think the bigger issue, Breath is this game coming 216 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 9: up this week and Tom Didn't has been playing out 217 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 9: of his skin and Daily in a manly side that 218 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 9: has been beaten and beaten at Fortress Brookwelle in the 219 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 9: last three games. He hasn't been anywhere near his best. 220 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 9: There is an argument that you could pick Tom Didn't 221 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 9: ahead of Daily on form. However, then you look at 222 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 9: everything that he's done in a Queensland jumper and the 223 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 9: fact that he's the captain, and you know that Billy 224 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 9: Slater will probably remain loyal. 225 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: What's your opinion on with Queensland. 226 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: Well, go back. 227 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 4: I go back to the point of the decision being 228 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 4: made in relation to deciding that he didn't want to 229 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 4: be at mainly beyond this season. I go back then 230 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: and think about his comments in relation to wanting to 231 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: do everything and the utmost for the Manly Seagulls to 232 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: try and get the most out of this season, including 233 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 4: winning the premiership, And for me, playing state of origin 234 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: impacts that goal of what he vowed to do at 235 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 4: the Sea should playing. 236 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 3: I don't think he should be there. 237 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 4: From but I can understand why years like it's representative football. 238 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 3: I gather it. But you can't have it both ways. 239 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: You can't at thirty. 240 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 6: Because I heard through the week that he doesn't know 241 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 6: who he's signed for a block that spoke to DC 242 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 6: and he said he hadn't made up his mind. 243 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 7: So who is he going to? The rooster's definitely the roost. 244 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: Are you saying that he shouldn't play for the benefit 245 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: of Manly or he shouldn't play for them? 246 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 8: Here? 247 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: Are we going to sit here and not think it's 248 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 4: not going to be the first question the journalists asked 249 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 4: when he enters Maron's camp next week, Well, but seriously, 250 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 4: is it not. 251 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 3: Going to be? 252 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 4: I know it's it's and that's a job Queensland will 253 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: the Queensland coaching staff will tell you this will be 254 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: the best thing ever for daily Cherry Evans because it 255 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 4: takes him into our into our camp under our umbrella 256 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 4: will protect him and it'll to Poops's point, he's so 257 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 4: experienced and it'll free him up. 258 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. 259 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: While I don't know if he's playing, is he playing 260 00:10:59,480 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: good enough for? 261 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 4: Is he getting there on his legacy only at this 262 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 4: point in time, maybe. 263 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 9: On the last month for football you would say yes, 264 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 9: absolutely would, but his legacy is pretty good. 265 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: In that chairse no doubt he feels more comfortable going 266 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: to Queensland absolutely with what's going on man, and he's 267 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: probably thinking, you know what, this is a good. 268 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 7: Break for me. 269 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 9: Right, You make a great point, breath because off the 270 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 9: back of that lost to Cronala last Sunday, there has 271 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 9: been a lot of noise around that. There's worse than 272 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 9: splinters in the Manly camp. 273 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 8: There's a real divide. Divide at all. 274 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 9: Centers goes back to that decision that he made on 275 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 9: live television. The club was blindsided and there's been a 276 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 9: massive flow on effect. What have you heard, Well, I 277 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 9: think some players are just struggling, Yeah, of course, and 278 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 9: your players. Some players are struggling and they believe that 279 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 9: that decision has essentially derailed their season. 280 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: Which is looking on we all thought that at the time. 281 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 9: Were discussed on the show, and looking on current form, 282 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 9: you'd have to say that that the way that. 283 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 6: It is tracking if I put my foot in DC's. 284 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 6: But how's that going to change? If I say, well, 285 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 6: I'm going to go to that club, how's it going 286 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 6: to change? You're still leaving them. 287 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 8: You blokes played, though, goody you played. 288 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 9: How would you feel if one of your team mates 289 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 9: did what Daily did at the start? 290 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 6: Well, Wendall did it and I was gutted, Like Wendell 291 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 6: promised us, We're all sitting around in a grieve. I'm 292 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 6: going to stay. Then he went to rugby union, right, 293 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 6: and you do feel good. The senior guys that are 294 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 6: really close do feel a little bit hurt when they lose. 295 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 6: And I suppose the Bulldogs with Sunny Williams there might 296 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 6: have been that feeling. Right the Melbourne storm with Cooper 297 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 6: Krong there would have been that feeling, but soon that 298 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 6: they would have addressed it. Right, Yeah, but I don't 299 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 6: know whether he coming out and saying I'm going to 300 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 6: that's going to ease the pain. 301 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 4: If he Even if he doesn't come out and saying 302 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 4: which he hasn't, clearly it all comes back to form. 303 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 4: It all comes back to showing your teammates you're willing 304 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 4: to rip in every single week. Now, we saw the 305 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 4: really good performance against the Panthers and then the nowhere 306 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 4: performance against the Sharks, right, and he has to show 307 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 4: his teammates that he's willing to rip and tear for manly. 308 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 4: At this point in time, I can understand where the 309 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 4: teammates are going in on a sec Are you in 310 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 4: or or you're out the big ones this Saturday night? 311 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 4: If he flops and deed and fires, what do you 312 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: think the questions will be going into camp next week? 313 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: Do we totally agree with you? 314 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: But I think regardless of the result, he's going to 315 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: be there and Deedan's going to be fourteen. 316 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: Right, That's that's what's going to happen. To have a. 317 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 9: Questioning going well, I got to say, and you know, 318 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 9: people say, will you like coming from a new South 319 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 9: Welst point of view, but Coinsland, they did lose last 320 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 9: year's series. It's not like coming off winning series. And 321 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 9: you need to be loyal to that particular group of players, which. 322 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: Leads me to this, and I'd love to get your 323 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: opinion on this game. 324 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: One Sun Court Stadium, DC's peaked at seven. 325 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 2: They lose the game. Is that his last origin game? 326 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 7: How does he play's average? 327 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 2: What if he plays average? It might wait because the odds. 328 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 6: Are it might be because you never owned a jersey 329 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 6: like you run it for a long time. People deserve 330 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 6: it for the next crack, I believe. But you never 331 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 6: ever ever own a rep jersey. You always just borrow 332 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 6: it for the time being an ad to it. So 333 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 6: anybody playing for Queensland, if you don't go there and perform, 334 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 6: and it could. 335 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: Be your last because there's a lot more to this, right, 336 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: his situation at club Land, his age, they lost last series, 337 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: they lose game one and hard you know, maybe there's 338 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: a change of the guard, right. 339 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 7: Yep, And there's the age, and there's that whole you 340 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 7: know this going around. 341 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 6: There like of course, And I'm sure Billy Slater he's 342 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 6: paid for these decisions. He'll make the right ones. And 343 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 6: we're lucky that we've got someone like Tommy didn't that 344 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 6: is shooting the lights out. Whether he's ready to run 345 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 6: the state and put on the number seven jersey, it's 346 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 6: a great jersey for our state. Who knows, but you 347 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 6: know he's going to be thrown in there at some 348 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 6: stage he sets. 349 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: Up to be a big game for him and doesn't it. 350 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: If that's the case, really, when you when you peel 351 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: it all back and look at it from the outside 352 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: looking in, the reality is this could be, you, guys, 353 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: a last ogin game. 354 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 9: Ever, well, it starts this weekend when he's got the 355 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 9: shootout against Tommy did and if Tommy plays the way 356 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 9: that he has been played over the course of the 357 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 9: last month, it's going to be very hard, right. But 358 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 9: then to your point, Brave, if Coinsland do lose the 359 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 9: opening game and Daily is only average, then you would 360 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 9: have to think that it's a decision Billy Slater probably 361 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 9: has to make. 362 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: One of the biggest games of his career in that context. 363 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 4: It really is in that context because if he does 364 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 4: not fire, there's no doubt. Gordon, I've got no doubt. 365 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: Tom diedon like he's ready to go, ready to go, 366 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 4: he went there. 367 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 6: Was one of our best players, and he's got someone 368 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 6: like Cameron Monter. He didn't play last year and we 369 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 6: really missed him. So having someone with that experience would 370 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 6: certainly help the. 371 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 4: Fact that Billy Slater is considering Kurt Man as a 372 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 4: utility option on his Marion's bench. 373 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 8: Kurt Man, Yeah, yeah, wow and Deedon on the bench. 374 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 4: Well that's the catch, right, So Kurt's, you know, such 375 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 4: a valuable utility for the dogs. The Dogs have a 376 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: huge opinion of Kurt Man. But to our conversation in. 377 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: Around DC is future. 378 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 4: If there is a dip there, you've got already made 379 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 4: utility in Kurt Man. 380 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: You can mail you go. 381 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll back myself. 382 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: I like it. 383 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, because people are watching this, going really 384 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: kurk Man didn't I'm thinking the same thing. 385 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: That's solid mail. 386 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 4: It's a small to your point, you probably think it's 387 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: a pretty small bench. Who the next time, I would 388 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: think Lindsay Collins and Ruben Cotter come into the frame 389 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 4: on the bench. Not a big bench, no small mobile, 390 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 4: fast feet through the middle. That's that's the belief. I understand. Certainly, 391 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 4: there's a lot of football to be played this weekend. 392 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 4: Kurt obviously has to get through injury free. I've heard 393 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 4: both for Moore's name come up as well as a 394 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 4: bench option. So look, but my point is that that 395 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: bench spot of the Barons, the number fourteen, it's suddenly 396 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 4: a little bit more open with the kurk Man there 397 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 4: all right. 398 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: As always, there's plenty of questions around the Blues. 399 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: Lineup forage and right than coach Lurry. 400 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: Daily did he's best to answer them ELI today. 401 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 10: There's still a few questions we need answered. You know, 402 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 10: there's a. 403 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 5: There's a sort of core group of people that were 404 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 5: sort of settled on once the team's finalized, the captaincy 405 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 5: will be easy. 406 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 10: Jake did a terrific job last year. Well, he didn't 407 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 10: play a lot of minutes. Inside the camp coaching staff, they. 408 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 5: All spoke particularly highly of what he was able to 409 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 5: do for a group. And then we've got other captains 410 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 5: within the side that have led their teams, so we'll 411 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 5: have another number of good captaincy options. It'll be a 412 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 5: tough decision what the combination of the halves will be, 413 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 5: but it's a good position to be in if they're 414 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 5: all fit and available. 415 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 3: No exactly great to seeing back. This would get one 416 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 3: or two. Do those injuries continue? 417 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 5: All, Yeah, that's that's a good good question. Because we're 418 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 5: hoping that Zach will play this weekend, so we can 419 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 5: have a look at Zach. Obviously, we can't watch Brian anymore, 420 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 5: and they were two influential members of the team last year. 421 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 5: We'll weigh that all up and see however performs on 422 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 5: the weak again. 423 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 7: What more does have to do with Oh? 424 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 5: I think he's just got to keep playing like he 425 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 5: has been. He's putting his best foot forward. There's no 426 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 5: denying that. In a result like that, there's a lot 427 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 5: of players not doing the job that's expected of them. 428 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 5: I just want to see what they do when they're 429 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 5: under pressure. 430 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: Well, it's a luxury of riches for Laurie Daily or 431 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 2: is it? 432 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: This could become a well if it's not already a 433 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: big headache for him. He's got so many decisions to 434 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: make in key positions. He's got incumbents that have won 435 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: the SERI Series last year. 436 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: Does he stick with them? Does he go with new players. 437 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: He's got their captain, Jake Chaboivich, who hasn't been in 438 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: great form. 439 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 2: Does he pick him or doesn't he? We'll start with him. 440 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 9: It's a good headache breath, but I don't think it's 441 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 9: a migrain. In terms of Jake, I love Jake. He 442 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 9: is an absolute lion heart of a player for Manly 443 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 9: and has never let New South Wales down to the 444 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 9: point where when he's been dropped in previous series they've 445 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 9: had to bring him back in in a rush when 446 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 9: they lose the opening game. Such as is importance to 447 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 9: the side. I don't think you can pick him on 448 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 9: current form. I just don't think that you can. 449 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 4: Okay, oh yeah, Jimmy sentiments, it's spot on. The game 450 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 4: loves Jake Dravovitch. Everybody does, absolutely, But you've got to 451 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 4: pick the best team and the best pack. Unfortunately, I 452 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: don't believe includes Jake in it. 453 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 7: Can it be the best mix of a team? 454 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 6: Not always the best players were, And then Braith would 455 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 6: understand that you can't pick all one seat. 456 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 1: A champion team. That's the dilemma that Laurie's got. They 457 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: had a champion team last year and some team of 458 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: champions this year, Like. 459 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: Where's that balance? Where's that mix? 460 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 7: Yeah? 461 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 6: The balance of that hard work and guy, I know 462 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 6: that if I play I reckon. Jake's one of those 463 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 6: players like a Gary Larson and a Billy Moore And 464 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 6: you get those guys and they just embarrass it. Miles, 465 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 6: They just embarrassed you to stay on your edge, like 466 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 6: they just do everything so and it's just team first. 467 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 6: There's nothing selfish about them, and they sort of embarrass 468 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 6: you to keep on pushing that little bit and I 469 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 6: don't yeah, and you don't know what it is that 470 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 6: I don't get the wraps. 471 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 7: Like Wally Lewis. 472 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 6: But Wally laws always thank Gary Larson and those hard 473 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 6: working guys. 474 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 7: And he that guy for New South Wales. 475 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 2: Big decision. 476 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 7: But you've got but like you've got to Zaya Yep, yep, yeah. 477 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 3: You know, I mean like test captain. 478 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: They've got enough creativity in the team too to have 479 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 1: someone like Jakin if he's good for the team and 480 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: good for the team bus in the environment and he 481 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: leads off the field and they love him and he's 482 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, and he just gets a job done in 483 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: the first ten to fifteen twenty minutes. And then they've 484 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: got enough talent, you know, they've got enough creativity, they've 485 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: got points. You know, it's not like they need a 486 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: front rower or a lot to come out creating opportunities. 487 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: You know, just do your job. 488 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 7: He gets thirty five tackles in hi middle. 489 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't miss, he hits and sticks quickly. If he's 490 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: not there, who captains the team? 491 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 3: II? Yeah, he's the Australian captain. 492 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 8: Stephen Krichton. 493 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 6: I think what he's going to do for the James 494 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 6: said Esco was the Australian captain and he didn't pick 495 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 6: last year. 496 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 8: We didn't get picked for strail last year. 497 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 7: Was he injured? Look at the queens I picked as him. 498 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 8: Crichton as a captain. 499 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 7: Yeah. 500 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 6: Well general, like normally when you play it's a toss 501 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 6: up and we can talk about it. But when you're 502 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 6: playing good good sides, there's five captains. 503 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, like every Ara that's the strength of the team. 504 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 6: Yeah like yeah, Like there's five club captains and in 505 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 6: Queensland probably two or three club captains in there and 506 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 6: they're all leaders. 507 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: I love Stephen Krichton. He is a good leader. Look 508 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: at this, he's what twenty three, twenty four this year. 509 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: That what he's been able to do for the Bulldogs. 510 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: You look at that game on the weekend against Camberra. 511 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: He was the difference. He brought them back into the game. 512 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: He's he leads by example with his actions. He's also 513 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: very vocal. He's got both you know, and he's he's 514 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: a freak. He's a freak of nature. I'd happily have 515 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: Stephen Crichton as the captain of the Blues and he's. 516 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: Going to be there. 517 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: He's first pick for the next ten years. Like you're 518 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: not going anywhere else. 519 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 6: The only question mark is the guys that captain him 520 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 6: at Penrith, what they think that That is the only 521 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 6: question about you know, you go to another side of 522 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 6: bloke left he wasn't captain, you were captain and he's 523 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 6: got it. 524 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 7: That'd be that'd be it. That's the only question mark 525 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 7: over Apparently they're just in the podcast. 526 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, Google work, what do you one of your best there? 527 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: Apparently we're head to the Lachlan Galvin speculation now as 528 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: a ramps up. We spoke about the Bulldogs last night 529 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: and possibly a chance of him going there or speculation 530 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: around it. What's going on here? Have we have we 531 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: heard any Have you had any backlash to last night 532 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: because we're pretty strong on it. We're trying to put 533 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: the pieces of the puzzle together and we're thinking, you know, 534 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: Paramatta haven't signed him. They're saying they're not close to 535 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: signing him. 536 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: The Bulldogs haven't re. 537 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: Signed sext and you know Galvin wanted to go to 538 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: a good a really good team to win the premiership. 539 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: He coached by the right coach. He wants to learn. 540 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: And I heard crickets today. Like normally when we do 541 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: a story like that on this show, people from the 542 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: club contact you and they'll say you're either right or wrong. 543 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 2: And I haven't heard a thing, So it's just deafening. 544 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 2: It's definite. 545 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 6: Gustin Ring you not Gus you. 546 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 2: You know. 547 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: I love your work, breath, absolutely love your work. 548 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: I'm just you're about to get the hose out before 549 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: you go. 550 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 3: This is how we roll. 551 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 7: You know that, I respect you know. 552 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: This is I'm not as hold on this as as 553 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 3: what you are. I'm really not. 554 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 4: I still I still think all loads, all roads lead 555 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 4: to Paramatta. 556 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: For Lachlan Galvin of. 557 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 9: That super strange though, I'll tell you what running as 558 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 9: the contradict. So he's come out he said, I want 559 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 9: to I want to be the best educated footballer I 560 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 9: can possibly become. 561 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 8: I want to try and win premierships. It's not about 562 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 8: the money. 563 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: Right, So what would you know? 564 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 8: What's paramatters? What's there appeal? 565 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 4: Look solely playing alongside Mitch Moses an appeal. I think 566 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 4: Isaiah Yongie is a series seriously, tell me, why wouldn't 567 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 4: go to the bull That's more That's my point. 568 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: I come back to the Dogs. 569 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 4: I just know how much they believe in the development 570 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 4: of Bailey Hayward as a half and a very talented 571 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 4: young player in their lower grades. 572 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: In Mitchell Wood. 573 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: Years away, there's one where could play thirteen nine. There's 574 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: rumors about Reid Marney whether they could he play nine 575 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: or thirteen. 576 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, he could. 577 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 4: But I only saw what Bailey Hayward when he stepped 578 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 4: up in the second half is great against the Raiders. 579 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: He took on a more dominant playmaking role than what 580 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 4: Toby Sexton did, and I firmly believe that this bloke 581 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 4: is the short to medium term focus for the Dogs 582 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: and the halfs. 583 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: So if Gavin wanted to go there, you think they. 584 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: Actually they'd say we're happy with Hayward. That's what you believe. 585 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 9: I think at West Tigers it's obviously a legal standoff 586 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 9: at the moment, but most people around the game think 587 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 9: that the Tigers are now coming to the belief And 588 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 9: I don't like saying it because I would have loved 589 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 9: if they stood on their digs and said that a 590 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 9: contract stands for something. I don't think a contract's going 591 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 9: to stand for something. I think that Lachlan Galvin will 592 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 9: be at a different club next year, and I think 593 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 9: it makes sense that all roads lead to Canterbury because 594 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 9: everything that we've heard out of his camp, dating back 595 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 9: even six weeks before this story initially broke, was the 596 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 9: decision was going to be all about the best coaching 597 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 9: and where it could best improve his football development. And 598 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 9: you look at the Bulldogs at the moment and whether 599 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 9: it's experienced players like Stephen Crichton or emerging rookies like 600 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 9: Bailey Hayward, the improvement in Toby Sexton, Siraldo has got 601 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 9: that side absolutely humming. They're the best defensive team in 602 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 9: the competition based on what he's implemented. Then you've also 603 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 9: got one of his key assistants being Luke Vala, who 604 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 9: was Lockey's coach at Westfield Sports High School, is his mentor. 605 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 9: He's got the tattoo on the wrist with one of 606 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 9: his favorite sayings. 607 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: I've thought a lot about this, like the way he 608 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 2: can to be applying. 609 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: They're very systematic, right, they get the points on the field. 610 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: They are relentlessly disciplined in what they do. Their defense 611 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: is faultless, but their attack as well. They've got a 612 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: game plan that they just stick to. 613 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: They don't go away from it. Right. 614 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: Sexton has a very simple game plan there. He's got 615 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: a great short kicking game. He's got a good short 616 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: passing game. He gets them to where they need to 617 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: get to, and they execute with star power. Like Crichton 618 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: on the weekend, Galvin goes into that team, he could 619 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: do what Sexton does with a little bit of more 620 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: star power, and he's got a great short kicking game. 621 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: I just find it hard when I think they're not 622 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: resigning Sexton, but they're doing that because they're happy with Haywood, 623 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: yep and Mitch Woods. 624 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: That's what you think. 625 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: That's what at this point in time, one hundred percent. 626 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: Who plays half back next year? 627 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 4: The only to Hoops's point, the only thing that you're 628 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 4: pulling me into the bulldog's argument is exactly that Luke Veller. 629 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 4: Luke Veller shouldn't be underestimated, nailed to. 630 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 9: Touch a little framers to market though, what do you 631 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 9: think price of Paramatta? 632 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 3: There's still my even money favorites. 633 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Even so that was months ago, six weeks ago. 634 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 3: I'm not having a bet with you will settle this show. 635 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: They were a dollar that was sure. 636 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've still got Para, I've still got paramount favorites. 637 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 8: I got Canterbury into a dollar ninety. 638 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: What about the coaching thing, you know, rookie coach. Ye 639 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: in mind, it's a contradiction of my and I think 640 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: he's doing great things at the moment, really do. But 641 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: it still doesn't really justify. 642 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 3: It doesn't contradiction of the argument. 643 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 4: I agree with you to Hoops's point, there isn't an 644 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 4: increasing belief that this is all coming to an end 645 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 4: of this season. 646 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: Luckie. 647 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 4: The album will finish up at the West Tigers this year, 648 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 4: to the point of which the West Tigers are already 649 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 4: looking across the market for a replacement next year, which 650 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 4: is where Adam Reynolds's name has come up. 651 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 9: So when do we think that the Tigers or Locke 652 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 9: might be able to negotiate with other clubs. Is he 653 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 9: going to have to wait till if that is the case, 654 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 9: does he have to wait till November one? Or is 655 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 9: it fast tracked under the Tigers just go? You know what, 656 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 9: we know he's going. Just let him go, And I. 657 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 4: Think it's I think it's when the Tigers find their answer. Right. 658 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 4: If the Tigers can secure their replacement on your bike, mate. 659 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 7: Who are they chasing? 660 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: Well? 661 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 3: As I said, Adam Reynolds has been linked to the club. 662 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 4: So far, all my inquiries to the West Tigers have 663 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 4: led to denials that they that Adam will be coming down. 664 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 3: The belief is that this stays in Brisbane. 665 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: If they're denying it, where to start. 666 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 4: Shane Richardson's son looks after Adam Reynolds off field sponsorship arrangement. 667 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: There's a natural relationship there of which goes. 668 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 9: Back along Way was a half back when one of 669 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 9: the content that makes sense if an Adam wants to 670 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 9: keep on play. Yeah, but I thought adam My understanding 671 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 9: was he wants to stay at the Broncos. 672 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 8: He's very settled up there. 673 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 9: His family's happy, loves life in Brisbane and was happy. 674 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: With what they're building.
