Speaker 1: Welcome to the Daily Telegraph and Roll podcast. I'm Michael,
Speaker 1: carry on its Dave Rick over and read Howie blakes down? Good?
Speaker 2: Nick pretty good?
Speaker 3: Nick pretty good?
Speaker 2: Nice, Yeah, staying out of the headlines ready, trying.
Speaker 3: Mate, not working, not not doing a really good job
Speaker 3: of it. But anyway, we'll just new bag of blokes
Speaker 3: as well soon.
Speaker 1: But well, speaking of dating countdown, he's on. Yep, it's
Speaker 1: gone through the house. It's still good.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's start with you, Dave, Nicko hines.
Speaker 1: You had a chat to him recently, the first chat
Speaker 1: post his origin snubbing. I guess we'll getting droped from
Speaker 1: the new Southwest Side. Well, as you read on it,
Speaker 1: how is he? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised to see how upbeat and
Speaker 4: and with clear of mind that Nick I was.
Speaker 1: Wasn't holding any hard feelings. Look, it would be ridiculous
Speaker 1: to suggest that he's not disappointed. Clearly disappointed.
Speaker 4: He wants to continue to stay in those rep teams,
Speaker 4: but at the same time, he understands its cutthroat didn't
Speaker 4: make the most of his opportunity, knows that his kicking
Speaker 4: game fell short, and ultimately wants to get back on
Speaker 4: track with Cronulla, he was, Yeah, I would say that
Speaker 4: twelve months ago, guys, he would.
Speaker 1: Be in a much deeper hole, but certainly not this
Speaker 1: time around.
Speaker 4: And I reckon the cold hearted nature of that acting
Speaker 4: coming on from the interchange bench into the centers for
Speaker 4: whose taboo probably stealed him for this decision. He knows
Speaker 4: that if a couple of things had gone his way,
Speaker 4: maybe with the Spencer Lenu Troue, maybe the forty twenty
Speaker 4: things might have been a little bit different. But at
Speaker 4: the same time, Blues, the Blues need to go and
Speaker 4: win the series, and Mitch Moses has got the jump
Speaker 4: on him.
Speaker 1: Big back half of the year for Nico, isn't it,
Speaker 1: because obviously it just fuels the chatter around him in
Speaker 1: the fuck you know, there's a stigma not there yet
Speaker 1: but starting to get there, whether it's fairly or unfairly,
Speaker 1: around Nico being able to win big matches, And obviously
Speaker 1: that's alleviated if you can guide into deep into the
Speaker 1: finals of the back half of the year and.
Speaker 3: The Sharks needing to bounce back right, was having a
Speaker 3: bit of a hole themselves. The Sharks when they're struggling
Speaker 3: defensive defense, horrible, So they can't afford for Nico to
Speaker 3: have a bit of a lean patch now. And look,
Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll be falling, as you said, David, and
Speaker 3: he went through it last year, so he's I think
Speaker 3: he's better equipped this time around to handle it. And
Speaker 3: it's hard to argue that he should have been there.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's didn't play well ultimately, and he's got
Speaker 3: to find a way to fix that. One of the
Speaker 3: things were smiling.
Speaker 2: Is your coffee spilling over there? Leaking the cup?
Speaker 3: Yes, a whole lot of leaks.
Speaker 2: Got it like plug, It's.
Speaker 1: Like an endorsement, he got there. You usually love a
Speaker 1: leak though.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, my coffee sadly.
Speaker 1: One of the things.
Speaker 4: It was interesting talking to him about, you know, the
Speaker 4: Dolphins performance last week all the Sharks and look, I
Speaker 4: really don't think attack was their problem. Crinla, Like, they
Speaker 4: laid on twenty eight points and put a huge comeback
Speaker 4: on the defensively, they need to seriously have a look
Speaker 4: at the start of that game was cool.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the kick? Just felt like
Speaker 3: he was going to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I asked him and he said, and it
Speaker 4: looks I know the narratives then and I'm going to
Speaker 4: get to that in a second.
Speaker 1: But he goes, I got my blood I put my
Speaker 1: bloody tea in the wrong spot. My ball position on
Speaker 1: the tee was the problem. I stuffed it up. You
Speaker 1: know that was his first miss at Sharp Park this season.
Speaker 4: Well he was so I'm talking about the conversion. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he didn't place the ball on the tee like he
Speaker 4: normally does.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a worrying sign. That's a sign of panic.
Speaker 1: That's a sign of stress. There one hundred percent is
Speaker 1: that's not a clear mind going into the What are
Speaker 1: you talking about?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: That is a concerning that is worse than a miscue.
Speaker 1: Really not placing the ball correctly. He wasn't in the
Speaker 1: exact same well he placed the not readomly thrown on
Speaker 1: the round. He got it wrong. We're going to get
Speaker 1: fat wrong. That means his head's not there, mum in
Speaker 1: a in a big moment.
Speaker 3: That's a are you that's a strange because you would
Speaker 3: have thought you'd take extra care because that was the game.
Speaker 4: I thought it was a very detailed explanation on that
Speaker 4: he didn't have jelly legs and sprayed the key.
Speaker 2: I think it's a detailed explanation that his mind wasn't
Speaker 2: totally focused.
Speaker 3: It's a strange it's a strange mistake to make given
Speaker 3: the gravity of that situation, where you've been and the games.
Speaker 3: Basically the line that's bizarre. It is bizarre. It's a
Speaker 3: bit bizarre.
Speaker 1: Guys, it's not a tribute.
Speaker 5: One more point, one more point, and let me just
Speaker 5: put this ability to handle pressure, no doubt, needs to
Speaker 5: needs to continue to develop and mature as a half
Speaker 5: back because he's three seasons into his half back journey,
Speaker 5: three seasons.
Speaker 4: Daily Cherry Evans Mitch Moses eleven years, eleven years. If
Speaker 4: Daily Cherry Evans isn't kicking Nic off the park, well
Speaker 4: there's a problem.
Speaker 2: He should be.
Speaker 1: He should be.
Speaker 3: Is he working with someone on handling the big match,
Speaker 3: that big one of his big match temperament?
Speaker 2: Absolutely goal kicking coach.
Speaker 4: Ironically, ironically, Halligan was down there two days before that
Speaker 4: Dolphins game.
Speaker 2: That is one of the strangest things I've heard.
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, I'd rather that he was nervous or like
Speaker 1: he had jelly legs, Like the fact that you can't
Speaker 1: in your moment to kick a goal to send the
Speaker 1: game into golden point that you can't center yourself and
Speaker 1: get your mind clear enough to line up a conversion attempt.
Speaker 3: I've got to say it is a concern. Big matches
Speaker 3: are becoming a concern when it goes and that becomes
Speaker 3: it just it's just magnified compounds and compounds, and.
Speaker 1: Its going to be it's going to be the native.
Speaker 1: Plenty of player movement over the last couple of days
Speaker 1: involving the Dragons and South. Let's start with the Dragons first.
Speaker 1: They've signed Damian Cook. Well, they will sign Damian Cook
Speaker 1: for the next two years from next season getting released
Speaker 1: from his final year a Day't over hype it, don't
Speaker 1: over hype it.
Speaker 3: Both getting in the ring.
Speaker 2: You're trying to try to no, Okay, what is she?
Speaker 1: What is she? Twofold? Right? Like, I love what he's
Speaker 1: going to bring to the club off the field, Okay,
Speaker 1: because you look at that site and aside from Ben Hunt,
Speaker 1: there's just no leadership, right, We've seen it at times
Speaker 1: when Ben Hunt's been missing through Origin there's just no
Speaker 1: senior players. So he brings that he's such a good guy,
Speaker 1: he's a good trainer, he can change standards and the like. Right,
Speaker 1: that's the positive The negative thing for me is that
Speaker 1: he is a thirty two year old hooker who spent
Speaker 1: some time in reserve grade this year on a two
Speaker 1: year deal. Okay, so say the Dragons and there are
Speaker 1: suggestions are that they're going to extend ben Hunt for
Speaker 1: a further twelve months, So in two years time, the
Speaker 1: Dragons will have a thirty four year old hooker and
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old halfback. I'm not sure, aside
Speaker 1: from Cooper kronk Le Cameron Smith, that that's ever been
Speaker 1: set up for success. Right, the two year deal, I
Speaker 1: feel like it blocks the Dragons potential now of signing
Speaker 1: a dummy half for the next two years to potentially
Speaker 1: be their their long term hooker.
Speaker 3: They weren't going to get one next year, mooted, And like.
Speaker 1: I honestly, I honestly believe at the stage of Cookie's
Speaker 1: career now that he's not far far superior to Jacob Little, right,
Speaker 1: And like, if I'm like Jacob Little, for me is
Speaker 1: a backup hooker. Okay, he's not a week in, week out,
Speaker 1: eighty minute. He's done a really good job for the
Speaker 1: Dragons this year, but if he's your number two hooker
Speaker 1: in your thirty man squad. I think that's a good balance, right,
Speaker 1: But I just I don't know. And the other concerning
Speaker 1: factor for me is that you've got Wayne Betett coming in, right,
Speaker 1: What does Wayne want to do next year?
Speaker 3: He wants to win?
Speaker 1: So Wayne's in and Cookie only had twelve months left
Speaker 1: on his contract. Okay, So if Wayne then believe that
Speaker 1: Damian Cook could help SOUTHENDI win a cop next year,
Speaker 1: regardless of the money he's on, he'd be at south
Speaker 1: Ini next year. No, no, No, they need to Doy
Speaker 1: need to shed players. They kept stuff. Of course, they
Speaker 1: need to shed players, Dave. But if if Wayne thought.
Speaker 4: But Cookie's gonna Cookie knows that he's still got football
Speaker 4: left in him, he was probably going to sus and said,
Speaker 4: I do you think you're going to extend me.
Speaker 1: Beyond the next tour. But we've seen Wayne, We've seen
Speaker 1: Wayne before go well no, like he did it with
Speaker 1: was it George Burgess who was going to get released
Speaker 1: to go to Paramatta knowing that there wasn't a contract
Speaker 1: left for him long term as well, and he opted
Speaker 1: to keep it because he thought he could win a comp.
Speaker 1: If Wayne and Wayne could have convinced Cookie that mate,
Speaker 1: I can get the best back out of you. If
Speaker 1: he truly believed that he could get the best forty
Speaker 1: back in Damian Cook, I think Damian Cook would be
Speaker 1: still be at South Sydney well, but then they're not
Speaker 1: signing anyone because they need to get rid of players.
Speaker 3: Is another areas I think I agree with you to
Speaker 3: an extent. I don't necessarily think it's a monumental signing
Speaker 3: for the Dragons.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't think it's maybe and I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a monumental blunder. Yeah, do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I'm sort of if we're like
Speaker 1: I'm on the this side of being.
Speaker 3: He'll do a good job for them, but they might
Speaker 3: have been better serve keeping that money and directed in
Speaker 3: another way because he's at the back end of his career.
Speaker 3: But in South's case, I actually think it's a smart
Speaker 3: move right because they've got Mamoizilla's there a lot in
Speaker 3: he's been ordered. I think it's a smart hook with
Speaker 3: the future and they need to direct funds into other areas,
Speaker 3: notably the their front row and their middle so you know,
Speaker 3: it freeze up a lot of cash from to go
Speaker 3: and go and strengthen deficient deficiencies in their squad, and
Speaker 3: Hooker wasn't a deficiency because Memoizilla's is there. So you know,
Speaker 3: for Souths it's a great move. For the Dragons, it's
Speaker 3: let's I don't know, let's wait and see. Now.
Speaker 1: I think it's a decent move.
Speaker 3: It turned out to be a master stroke.
Speaker 1: I think it's a decent.
Speaker 4: Move by Saints because I saw Shan Flanagan do it
Speaker 4: with Michael Lennis.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent different, totally different circumstances though, because Bernola
Speaker 1: we're in a Premiership window. They needed that polished Michael
Speaker 1: and Hiss game wasn't built on speed.
Speaker 2: No, no, won't Cook.
Speaker 1: He's gaining, understand but he wanted experience.
Speaker 2: Experience he does, he does, and any need that.
Speaker 3: Now, Ben Hunt and Damien Cook, do.
Speaker 1: You think it's a good It's good to have a
Speaker 1: thirty four year old hook and a thirty six year
Speaker 1: old I'm not.
Speaker 2: Worried about that.
Speaker 1: Cookies one of the fittest bikes I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: But we've seen we know it used to be a
Speaker 2: beach printer.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the age. Yeah, I think you
Speaker 1: have to be at that at that point when you're
Speaker 1: gonna have your seven, I.
Speaker 4: Think you're also completely dismissing the fact that you can
Speaker 4: only fish with a fish are if you Saint Georgia Laura,
Speaker 4: and right now they're not able to land big fish.
Speaker 3: The idea of moving Coyle Flanning. I know Corl has
Speaker 3: done really well at five eight this year. But what
Speaker 3: happened the idea idea of moving Coyle Flannag into.
Speaker 1: I've got the sense it was he's gone too well,
Speaker 1: and I think it was he has gone really well,
Speaker 1: And I think it was the sense of what they
Speaker 1: could sign first sound if they found a gun high
Speaker 1: then potentially that would have opened up the door for nine.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and he's been really good, has been.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think the doors closed on the Dragons signing
Speaker 1: a gun.
Speaker 3: Half.
Speaker 4: Look, you're you're completely locked into the ben Hunt thing.
Speaker 4: I think Cole could play. He could play if the
Speaker 4: Dragons went and signed a gun half. Cole could play
Speaker 4: back up nine or fourteen. Yeah yeah you know, so
Speaker 4: yeah yeah yeah, and still have a grading out there.
Speaker 4: There's no gun anyone.
Speaker 1: But that's why we see it so often with all
Speaker 1: these players and you've just I don't know, they've been
Speaker 1: pretty patient. The Dragon has been pretty meticulous in like,
Speaker 1: they haven't landed a lot, but they've been they've been
Speaker 1: going after some players. I don't know. I just so
Speaker 1: the thing is to.
Speaker 4: Build a roster, you've got to start with a roster,
Speaker 4: and cook signing one becomes too very quickly. It gives
Speaker 4: them a little bit more gravitass than what they've currently got.
Speaker 1: I just don't think it. I don't think it's a
Speaker 1: huge elevation the guys at news. That's what I was origin.
Speaker 1: He was exactly like, where would you rank him? No,
Speaker 1: if we're sitting down and it's hard because this is
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, but if you're ranking hookers,
Speaker 1: he's well down the pecking order, top top six seven.
Speaker 4: So you got Rye Robson, Happy Happy har Harry Grant,
Speaker 4: there's three.
Speaker 1: Do you throw Blake Brayley in the mix? Brayley is
Speaker 1: ahead of him, for sure, Yeah, fo Marny's ahead of him,
Speaker 1: you know, Wade Egan's ahead of him. Okay, So Jerry
Speaker 1: Mushall kings ahead of him. Jerry mush Jerry Marshall. I
Speaker 1: would pick Connor Watson ahead of him.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: What, Then then then you could argue.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't.
Speaker 1: When does Brandon rank, Canny rank.
Speaker 3: She's slipping down lits pretty quick.
Speaker 1: He's top ten, thank you?
Speaker 3: Top ten. Just I mean he's going to be good
Speaker 3: for the next year. The issue's issue is what he'll
Speaker 3: be like in twenty twenty. I tell you what, I'd
Speaker 3: be worrieds chilling. You know, it's probably gonna be his
Speaker 3: last year. So but it'll be good from next year.
Speaker 3: It'll be an upgrade. I think. On on little, I'm
Speaker 3: going to give some some depth Hooker and sow Saul.
Speaker 3: You know they can go out and sign someone sign
Speaker 3: the middle so to win win.
Speaker 1: Next year quickly. The Dragons jack Bird, Yeah, if it
Speaker 1: was a one year deal for the Dragons, I would
Speaker 1: have been sweet with it. Jack Bird. Twelve month extension, well,
Speaker 1: not an extension. It was that weird deal where there
Speaker 1: was mutual options of Dragons opted not to take their
Speaker 1: side of the option at X amount. It as significantly
Speaker 1: high value. Jack Bird decided to take that for a
Speaker 1: further twelve months at a lower value. So he gets
Speaker 1: another twelve months. Doesn't hurt the club in their salary cap.
Speaker 1: Jack's been okay this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the injury a bit too much that one.
Speaker 4: In the meantime, if he does come out and play
Speaker 4: well and then he can still leave the club. I
Speaker 4: mean he's taken his option up, but it still it
Speaker 4: allows him he can get out of that if you
Speaker 4: think it's a better offer from a rival club in
Speaker 4: between now and November, he can leave, Okay.
Speaker 2: Is that the way that option works?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Interesting, interesting option?
Speaker 1: So what wouldn't you just take it up there? Exactly? Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's strange.
Speaker 3: When it's check back.
Speaker 1: He should be back after the bike's got the buyer.
Speaker 1: They're thinking he could be back after the bill.
Speaker 3: He's good playing, Jack Feller, You.
Speaker 1: And Aikan, So now let's stay our attention to the
Speaker 1: South Sydney. Now looks like they'll sign you an Aiken
Speaker 1: for two to three years. I think it's a good
Speaker 1: depth signing.
Speaker 3: I think he's twenty nine.
Speaker 2: He's twenty nine, play out for a while. Screw the Dragons,
Speaker 2: c back row.
Speaker 3: He's a professional. He'll be good.
Speaker 1: For what he's good in that in that balance for
Speaker 1: squads and benchers when you've got to shift players during
Speaker 1: games and the like, and you know Wade knows what
Speaker 1: he's buying there. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: Anyone coming from the Dolphins is a good signing the
Speaker 4: way that the way. But Bennett's got those Dolphins going.
Speaker 2: Whe any other names on the raidar for South Boys.
Speaker 3: Well you I think Royce Hunt's been met from Cornella.
Speaker 3: He's been giving permission for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: But we saw the way I worked with kind of Tracy,
Speaker 1: and you work backwards and then if someone signs him
Speaker 1: then it's smart, Like I Actually, this is an understated
Speaker 1: thing that Cornelli are doing at the moment. We saw
Speaker 1: it with kind of Tracy and we're seeing it with
Speaker 1: Royce Hunt. Guys that they don't think you're going to
Speaker 1: have long term futures at the club despite having twelve
Speaker 1: months there. They're like, Okay, well if we sell them
Speaker 1: while they're still contracted, what can we get out of it.
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty shrewd way to get And
Speaker 1: if they're if they're with him for another twelve months,
Speaker 1: they're not pushing him out the door.
Speaker 4: So they're not going to told Royce stick around, mate,
Speaker 4: there's twelve months there if you want it.
Speaker 2: They're not going to look at the same time.
Speaker 1: But I know that when Adam Vanilla Blake comes.
Speaker 3: He looks like a guy planned for a contract. Last week.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was standing. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The problem is and fan of Royty of what he's
Speaker 4: doing at the moment, he's only got about sixteen minutes,
Speaker 4: a good sixteen minutes, and he's twenty nine years of age,
Speaker 4: so he's sursing.
Speaker 1: How would he talk about like gosh, but I was
Speaker 1: surprised by when I was speaking of someone when we're
Speaker 1: doing that yeah story, like, oh you know, he's probably
Speaker 1: chasing his last content years and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: I have to go and have a look at how
Speaker 1: old he actually was, So that is surprising.
Speaker 3: I reckon the clubs Newcastle now that Peter Sullivan's got.
Speaker 1: For hunt for movement. Oh yeah, no, yeah, movement. I
Speaker 1: think we've all heard names, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Peter O. Sullivan's there now, he started this week.
Speaker 3: He's going to take a look at that roster, and
Speaker 3: that roster needs a rejig. Yeah, I agree, So I
Speaker 3: reckon there could be some movement there keeping on the Knights.
Speaker 1: And finally Reach. It's interesting too. The one thing that's
Speaker 1: just quickly meck is.
Speaker 4: The Damien Cook signing at Saints rules out the Jade
Speaker 4: and Brayley constant speculation and around his future at the Knights.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I thought he was end up with the Dragons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lot of us did. I think
Speaker 1: that if you said to me a month ago with
Speaker 1: Jayden Brody could potentially play next year. I thought it
Speaker 1: would have been. The Dragons had a sniff around Jerry
Speaker 1: and Marshall King as well.
Speaker 3: I think Adam locks Jayden and I think Sally losed Jaden,
Speaker 3: so I think Jayden may end up staying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, given his relations week with Shane Flanagan, Adam, do
Speaker 1: you Dave shut to him yesterday? Yeah? Yes, I like
Speaker 1: this because well it works for both parties. Really.
Speaker 4: Adam obviously coming back from three torn acls, fourteen months
Speaker 4: out of the game, comes back in New South Wales
Speaker 4: cuple on Saturday, and I thought.
Speaker 1: He did a really good job.
Speaker 4: Like if you if you went to like art Oval
Speaker 4: and sat on the hill and tried to find the
Speaker 4: player that's been out for fourteen months, you wouldn't have
Speaker 4: selected Adam Dewey. He had some really nice moments clearly,
Speaker 4: you know, first run back and it'll only be better
Speaker 4: for that. Three days later, Shane Richardson calls him and says,
Speaker 4: how about we get a com track done for next year.
Speaker 4: They work out the terms. Adam's happy with the figure.
Speaker 4: Listeners people watching Adam do He now represents himself. He
Speaker 4: doesn't have a manager, did all the negotiations with himself.
Speaker 4: He's happy with the terms and has resigned for next season. However,
Speaker 4: in all that, he still remains will become a free
Speaker 4: agent come November one. So if he does have a
Speaker 4: good block of footy between now and November one, it
Speaker 4: does give him the opportunity to sign elsewhere beyond twenty
Speaker 4: five and then potentially do the Tigers say, hey, go
Speaker 4: for your life now.
Speaker 3: He's too a bit of luck for all of him,
Speaker 3: do he? That's from rotten luck in recent years. He's
Speaker 3: not that old?
Speaker 1: Is he twenty five?
Speaker 3: Twenty five? I mean, it's unbelievable to think he's only
Speaker 3: twenty five? So plenty of football left.
Speaker 2: And here did you play a guessing game next week
Speaker 2: on y?
Speaker 3: I mean he's got a lot of footy left in him.
Speaker 3: If he can stay healthy, that's the key, because you know,
Speaker 3: three knee recos pretty hard to come back from one.
Speaker 4: He's been na in the extended preserves this week. I'm
Speaker 4: my understanding is Justin Olham hasn't really trained much this week,
Speaker 4: and do he's been training at center might come in.
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm not going to go that far.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying so it pumped up the supercoach. No.
Speaker 4: So the tip around is Justin Olan doesn't train that much.
Speaker 4: He's a training load management guy. Do he's been slotted
Speaker 4: in its center at training? I think Olim will train
Speaker 4: that final session and eventually get there. And the goal
Speaker 4: is for Adam to play. He didn't play eighty minutes
Speaker 4: in reserve grade last week, but he will play eighty
Speaker 4: minutes at halfback.
Speaker 3: What position I've got to Mike's going to say if
Speaker 3: he can come back and be anywhere near the player
Speaker 3: he was one position now I'm looking for as a
Speaker 3: center the Tigers, he can answer that fill that hole
Speaker 3: for them because I need they need more quality out
Speaker 3: wide than the centers.
Speaker 2: What position does he see himself?
Speaker 1: Daved he wants to play half back?
Speaker 3: Does he? Okay? Well, it's probably not going to happen
Speaker 3: at the Tigers.
Speaker 4: Though, is it?
Speaker 1: No? He just he just.
Speaker 4: But at the same time he's dead set focused on
Speaker 4: let's just I just want to get out and play
Speaker 4: some food.
Speaker 1: You do my best.
Speaker 2: Rip and tear and see where it takes me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll think he'd make the perfect thirteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirteen Yeah, interesting the modern style of thirteen.
Speaker 1: Speaking of modern style, Paramatta, modern style of coaches. We've
Speaker 1: got your man, Josh Hannah, your man, Jason Rowles. I'm
Speaker 1: just in the middle. Usual observer to shoot baby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he can't split them right. No one knows how it's
Speaker 1: going to land. We'll just thought this was where it
Speaker 1: would Yeah, if we're doing the one and two to
Speaker 1: start the process, I think we both had these guys
Speaker 1: quite rightly as the one and two candidates. Josh Hana
Speaker 1: will get interviewed after Origin two, and then I think
Speaker 1: we'll have an answer in the next couple of weeks
Speaker 1: at Paramatta. But ready, you've got some He spake with
Speaker 1: Michael Checker. It was a paramount I was hopeful put
Speaker 1: his hand up for the job.
Speaker 3: Had an interview, apparently interviewed really well, but ultimately the
Speaker 3: club decided that they didn't want to take the risk
Speaker 3: on Michael because they were worried about his capacity to
Speaker 3: handle the day to day NRL coaching the grind, which
Speaker 3: I mean this is like he's a coach the Wallabyes
Speaker 3: Argentina eleven eleven and rugby league, and he's coached the
Speaker 3: French Top fourteen league for a couple of seasons, and
Speaker 3: if you know the French top fourteen.
Speaker 1: Yea, I well across the fourteen well, I played thirty.
Speaker 3: Four games a year. He built roster up, built the
Speaker 3: roster up there. And what you've got to deal with
Speaker 3: up there there is these French billionaire owners who are
Speaker 3: very erratic, got very short fuses, very fickle, and Michael
Speaker 3: was able to handle out. So if you're going to
Speaker 3: make a decision not to go with Michael Checker, the
Speaker 3: actual last reason you would not go with it, the
Speaker 3: last reason you would give for not going with him,
Speaker 3: it's his capacity to handle the day to day grind
Speaker 3: of the NRL because his coach and the French this
Speaker 3: is a walk in the park compared to the French
Speaker 3: Top fourteen. I mean, it's full of these megala maniac
Speaker 3: owners who are raving lunatics, whose sack coaches the drop
Speaker 3: of a hat. So you know, that's the bit I find.
Speaker 3: I think Michael found a bit amusing about it, that
Speaker 3: that would be the justification for not pressing ahead with
Speaker 3: granting him a second interview. But I will say this, Mick,
Speaker 3: he's still determined.
Speaker 2: To be an Yeah, that's the interesting part.
Speaker 3: So he hasn't given up on me an eral coach,
Speaker 3: he says, you know this is if anything, this has
Speaker 3: stelled him to continue down that path. So hopefully someone
Speaker 3: gives him a chance at some point. The probably is
Speaker 3: what would help him is big getting the system. I
Speaker 3: know he was at the Brusters as an assistant coach.
Speaker 3: Come in the system and work for a club that was.
Speaker 1: More part time coaching. It was Yeah, he was pretty
Speaker 1: hands on there for a time. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think it was a he could do it money.
Speaker 3: He's not a problems inion there right, because he's got
Speaker 3: that it works, he's got that fashion company.
Speaker 2: He can get us to the sponsor sponsoring, be able
Speaker 2: to fix your club.
Speaker 3: You looks like you're chopping the wood or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks man, Dave.
Speaker 1: Anything on the Paramata coaching situation.
Speaker 4: I think I think it plays out for at least
Speaker 4: another week. If you if you factor in the candidates
Speaker 4: and where Josh Hannah is. He's currently in Coinnsland Origin camp.
Speaker 4: That plays through until at least next Thursday morning. Sharks
Speaker 4: then play against the Bulldogs next Friday. He'll be consumed
Speaker 4: by that. That takes us through to the weekend Paramatta play.
Speaker 4: So I reckon next week's right off para fans. As
Speaker 4: far as working out who your next coach is.
Speaker 2: Any issue with the process?
Speaker 1: Boss? This was something that was spoken out on three
Speaker 1: sixty last night. I don't have an issue. No, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't even a great issue with it. I think
Speaker 3: there's no one that screened now. Yeah, that's the fact
Speaker 3: I should be the head coach of Paramatta. So I
Speaker 3: think in that case, you go down that path and
Speaker 3: you interviewed.
Speaker 4: I don't think you can underestimate the most significant decision
Speaker 4: the club's gone through in eleven years. So they're going
Speaker 4: to take their time, They're going to exhaust every opportunity.
Speaker 4: There's a vast difference between going after Wayne Bennett and
Speaker 4: then after that it just drops away, So you've got
Speaker 4: to do your homework quickly.
Speaker 1: On Origin boys, do we like this last year? Dave
Speaker 1: new South Wales team? I don't know that's not sure.
Speaker 2: What's no?
Speaker 1: I don't know something, something's not right.
Speaker 2: I love this team.
Speaker 3: It's a team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a I think it's a fast
Speaker 1: superiors side than the game in Game one, the team
Speaker 1: in Game one.
Speaker 2: It's a better balance. I think, as ready said much,
Speaker 2: I've got.
Speaker 1: I've got worries in the on the bench.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think we done Mitch Barney, and I
Speaker 4: think we're down a big man, Jake Traboy, which.
Speaker 1: We all love him, we all love him, but but.
Speaker 4: We've got workers. We've got workers. The Blues have got workers,
Speaker 4: and that's what Jakie boy is. He's a worker. You've
Speaker 4: got Cameron Murray now into the side. How many minutes
Speaker 4: did you play in his comeback game? How many minutes
Speaker 4: is he gonna last? In a a in a state
Speaker 4: of Amergin? What are you saying you have done? I
Speaker 4: would have I would have Camp. I don't understand was
Speaker 4: a yo on the bench. What's you are we going
Speaker 4: to come on and do?
Speaker 1: Play?
Speaker 2: So you'd have him started? Would you have him started
Speaker 2: or not at all?
Speaker 1: Probably not have him?
Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd have Mitch Bona in for Yo. I really
Speaker 4: want to see something from yes, definitely.
Speaker 3: The game wasn't made for though it was original one.
Speaker 1: It's interesting I think Watson's unproven so that the bench
Speaker 1: is a concern.
Speaker 3: For me.
Speaker 1: Podcast about six weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, I think they're a better team starting
Speaker 3: team Latrellan and Mitch Moses and Dylan, Yeah, Dylan as well.
Speaker 3: I think that makes him instantly.
Speaker 2: Cam Murray if he's yeah, did you say if I
Speaker 2: was surprised, I was surprised squad.
Speaker 3: The extended squad somewhere, but I'm surprised he's in the
Speaker 3: starting side. They might change that. They might change that
Speaker 3: for the game, don't you.
Speaker 4: Think, Well you start, Yeah, well, because Murray is seen
Speaker 4: as a versatile player who can play back row.
Speaker 3: You can play edge or middle.
Speaker 4: And even throw him in at the centers. So if
Speaker 4: you dropped him back to the bench, he does give
Speaker 4: you a little bit more Versatiley.
Speaker 3: I would misurprised that that flips before the games. Anyway,
Speaker 3: it probably doesn't matter because Queensland Queensland side.
Speaker 1: You've gone back to Dad's army on the bench there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: speaking of it's.
Speaker 3: A cable fan, I'm not sold on.
Speaker 4: If you look at the Broncos issues right now. It's
Speaker 4: largely due to that left edge going to water.
Speaker 3: It's probably Adamster heard him as well. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: a fact that's contributed. But they're leaking points like they
Speaker 3: haven't been in the past, and he locked.
Speaker 1: It down on that side.
Speaker 3: I'm not the Grand Final when he missed. That's my issue.
Speaker 3: I think you know there's much of the sort. Well,
Speaker 3: they kept mass blakes right, the two changes Capable and
Speaker 3: my CONFUSI coming in is intimidated. I think he's had
Speaker 3: a pretty good year for the Dolphins. Yeah, the cables. Look,
Speaker 3: I don't know how many minutes or play and his
Speaker 3: heady player off the bands because he can play in
Speaker 3: the centers of the back row and I'm sure he'll
Speaker 3: do a job because he always does some queens and
Speaker 3: to be fair, so I'm probably being a bit unfair
Speaker 3: on Kirk Capable. But again, he's missed a lot of
Speaker 3: footy this year.
Speaker 1: If you're about yeah, he's missed a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of foot Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think hopefully he doesn't have to play fifty minutes like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if there's ten minutes, that's the concern.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they've got plenty of strike and they're one up,
Speaker 3: which always helps, but they've got a horrible record of
Speaker 3: the MCG.
Speaker 2: Each year in Queensland.
Speaker 1: Just for clarification, what do you mean are you Queen's
Speaker 1: later this week or in your south?
Speaker 3: What do you mean this week? Just a queens.
Speaker 1: Also, one thing was interesting because of Billy yeah cheering,
Speaker 1: I am yeah, it's been noted.
Speaker 3: Billy, stop it. Did Billy text your bank? No, he
Speaker 3: didn't text me back anyway. I send Billy's comments that
Speaker 3: he made in relation.
Speaker 2: To the Ready do you want to go?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 3: A problem with it?
Speaker 1: What's is she?
Speaker 2: What do you reckon?
Speaker 3: So? I think it was a bit churlish of Billy
Speaker 3: to be honest, and it was a very selective memory
Speaker 3: from Billy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ready fires back.
Speaker 3: Well, I think see he talked about the tackle. He
Speaker 3: talked about it, so it was a bad look for parents,
Speaker 3: bad look for the game. He talked about it, talked
Speaker 3: about the outcome of the tackle and then when he
Speaker 3: was put when Madge had a shot at him. And
Speaker 3: I love the fact that Madge through the glasshouses. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's great because Origin needs a bit of spice, a
Speaker 3: bit of spice, and Origin is always its best when
Speaker 3: the teams are going at each other, made through the
Speaker 3: burly in the water and Billy just ran a mile
Speaker 3: from it.
Speaker 4: It's not really his go yeah can you window? Yeah
Speaker 4: yeah they can look you know. I said, I've got
Speaker 4: my reservations because they can the cats to it. This
Speaker 4: is and I think it's really interesting. The noise coming
Speaker 4: out of Queensland is that we've all focused on how
Speaker 4: the Blues were forced to play with twelve men, but
Speaker 4: what we haven't focused on is how Queensland had to
Speaker 4: change their style with Reecee Walsh off the field and
Speaker 4: they weren't They weren't very happy with the way they
Speaker 4: were unable to get the plays on that they wanted
Speaker 4: to that they trained all week full and there's a
Speaker 4: feeling that they we didn't see the best of Queensland either.
Speaker 3: Resbalsh makes a huge difference.
Speaker 1: So that's frightening, huge difference.
Speaker 3: And I can see them trying to maybe isolate the
Speaker 3: trail and Reswalsh on the trail where they came and
Speaker 3: they're sweeping back likes Reese is huge for queens Then, Yeah,
Speaker 3: the Hammer was very good though. He was just playing
Speaker 3: good football anything that trial last week, So just a Silkie.
Speaker 1: And I to the NRL this weekend Origin ravage, lots
Speaker 1: of buyers, split rounds, but important games for plenty of sides.
Speaker 2: Which game you're looking forward to?
Speaker 1: I like the Dogs Roosters game boys.
Speaker 4: I think that's a really good test now for Canterbury
Speaker 4: on this trajectory that they're going and the Rooster's side
Speaker 4: that's depleted, but I think they have six sorry, they
Speaker 4: have used six Origin players this series the Roosters so
Speaker 4: and clearly going into Origin too. They have some players out,
Speaker 4: so I think it's an opportunity for the Bulldogs. I
Speaker 4: didn't know that Villa Army Kicking has been named in
Speaker 4: the extended reserves. Could be a huge in for the Dogs.
Speaker 1: So yeah, spoons could have been a point to prove.
Speaker 1: The benefit for the Roosters is having Teddy Krey Walker
Speaker 1: and Brandon Smith back, with Victor Bradley still on the
Speaker 1: side and Hard Graves and those sort of fellas. So
Speaker 1: I think, you know, there's still a lot while I
Speaker 1: got a lot of players out, there's still some big
Speaker 1: guns there.
Speaker 2: But can we have been so cool to watch this year.
Speaker 1: They've been awesome, how gritty they've been and how much
Speaker 1: they're turning up for each other. What about you.
Speaker 3: I was going to say Dolphins Storm, but I'm going
Speaker 3: with Tigers Raiders. Well, firstly, I'm at that game a
Speaker 3: Cameltown stadium allowed, which is a proper stadium. I'm allowed
Speaker 3: a Cameltown.
Speaker 1: How would you go walk in the streets of Lightheart.
Speaker 3: That's so good. Campbelltown's a proper ground, Mick. So I'll
Speaker 3: be going there on Sunday. And look the toys is
Speaker 3: coming off, wasn't it. They didn't play the best.
Speaker 1: Football last week was one of the lowest games, but.
Speaker 3: They one day and it took a lot of heat
Speaker 3: off them. So and Canerra have been great this year.
Speaker 3: Interesting clash of the five eighths. There ethan strange v
Speaker 3: Big Lockn's two young guns are playing great football. So
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to that game.
Speaker 1: Mine.
Speaker 2: South be Manly obviously South on Shaw and.
Speaker 1: Kept the cup your man a you're going to present
Speaker 1: it and Homy's got him going on a good trajectory
Speaker 1: South Sidney and then big win for Manly, huge win.
Speaker 1: Like no I know Coreydelle limped through that second half,
Speaker 1: but they really had no one on the bench against
Speaker 1: the Dragons. The Dragons fell apart in that second half.
Speaker 1: They blew an opportunity, but massive win for Manly.
Speaker 3: I like.
Speaker 4: We might get a little window just to peek behind
Speaker 4: the curtain of how much influenced Latrell Mitchell's having on
Speaker 4: this currency Sydney side on the weekend. Yeah, and then
Speaker 4: give us an indication on what he could do for
Speaker 4: the Blues because Mike I tipped Manly because I just
Speaker 4: don't like the fact that Latrell's out. I think Cody
Speaker 4: has been great, Jack Whiteen's good, your guys man, Damian
Speaker 4: Cook is playing hooker.
Speaker 1: I think Colam Tungey is getting back to his best
Speaker 1: as well. And you know, while there's that Manly side's
Speaker 1: almost unrecognizable, there's a lot of names there that you know,
Speaker 1: Nathan Brown and Luke Brooks that I think maybe I
Speaker 1: did tip Souse. I can't remember tipped. I think Gods
Speaker 1: house boys questions all right, getting etched. Hopefully that's nothing
Speaker 1: rude there. NRL look at having eighteen nineteenth man on
Speaker 1: game day so the coach can bring on who they want,
Speaker 1: depending on who's been ruled out with concussion.
Speaker 3: Well, we do have any man, yeah, and they need
Speaker 3: like the flexibility to be activated, so you can pick
Speaker 3: which place.
Speaker 1: I don't mind just having an eighteenth We don't see
Speaker 1: eighteenth man activated too often as it is. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: then you'll go, what about a twentieth man? It just
Speaker 1: keeps going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm simer there for a second. What about the
Speaker 3: twentieth man? What did you think of.
Speaker 1: Sein folded on Sunday? He was pretty It was pretty good.
Speaker 1: You just tell me the movie.
Speaker 3: He was pretty good. We were there for the bit
Speaker 3: when he got he got sledged by the crowd.
Speaker 2: What happened early?
Speaker 3: We were in the earlier was the second second. He's
Speaker 3: pretty good, it's pretty funny. Not go, I'll find a comedian.
Speaker 3: So just just quickly, can't digress. I reckon, I've got
Speaker 3: a half hour of a comedian in me, and then
Speaker 3: I lose interested in you. I don't find them funny anymore?
Speaker 2: What if they're really funny for half hour?
Speaker 1: Max?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: So Helen was on.
Speaker 3: Hour second, half hour, dragged on a bit.
Speaker 1: I thought that's short. An hour It was short.
Speaker 3: The guy had my wife brought them a hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: Maybe we were in nosebleeds blind me couldn't have any
Speaker 3: further back.
Speaker 1: You need to.
Speaker 3: I can tell you a quick little story about that.
Speaker 3: We were sitting there waiting a couple of beers, and
Speaker 3: wife brought me a wine. Sitting there with the red wine,
Speaker 3: got a new white shirt. Some woman walks in and
Speaker 3: we're sitting in those seats. They're quite tired. I'll pull
Speaker 3: my glass back like this. She's walked in, bumped, ruined
Speaker 3: the shirt, brand new shirt.
Speaker 1: Did she recognize is that what she kept walking?
Speaker 3: Didn't did not even say sorry?
Speaker 1: Seinfeld episode, and you talk about many nosebleader doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: If you're a nosebley to see comedian, you.
Speaker 3: Know it doesn't know.
Speaker 2: It's not like footy.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it was cheaper. It's good half hour max,
Speaker 3: just to tip away your comedians out there on the
Speaker 3: half hour.
Speaker 1: Chris wants to know, why do you think there's no
Speaker 1: appetite for the Adelaide rams to return to the NRL Blues.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's an appetite either way. I don't
Speaker 3: think I think the NL would potentially go there if
Speaker 3: if someone if.
Speaker 2: There was interesting Adelade. Yeah true, yeah, that's a good.
Speaker 3: But there's no real interest in Adelaide. That doesn't seem
Speaker 3: to be any rugby league.
Speaker 1: Where you've got Perth fighting, you've got New Zealand's fire
Speaker 1: people playing the game. Yeah, but I think that's more
Speaker 1: to your point. Yeah, the fact that no these guys
Speaker 1: are coming to the NRL playing we want in where
Speaker 1: it's just we're not getting anything around Adelaide at the moment.
Speaker 1: Once you go to twenty that's it for a long time.
Speaker 3: Twenty two down the track another team and Brisbane team.
Speaker 1: Is if we get to twenty two twenty four, we're
Speaker 1: in two conferences. Wearing twenty four is not bad.
Speaker 3: I think play everyone wants.
Speaker 1: Still, I don't know if any of us will still
Speaker 1: be covering the game when it gets the twenty four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you definitely won't.
Speaker 3: Mat I might make it to twenty.
Speaker 1: POWI wants to know why is there always escapegoat in
Speaker 1: the and created a new South Wales media In origin,
Speaker 1: it was Mitchell Pierce for years now Niko Heinz appears
Speaker 1: to be copying it from you lot.
Speaker 2: It's not from Dave, it's you guys.
Speaker 3: It's the Brian Smith line. You guys.
Speaker 1: It's not a skategat.
Speaker 4: It's the fact that Nathan Clear is injured and then
Speaker 4: once the once the best half back in the game
Speaker 4: is injured, the Blues are always going to struggle to
Speaker 4: find their answer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they lost its origin. It gets dissected more
Speaker 3: than anything else in rugby league. And when you play
Speaker 3: poorly and you lose, then.
Speaker 1: I guarantee if Players Queens lost a series three nil,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't say I doubt you see Dally Cherry Evans better.
Speaker 1: Can't all those guys in next year here? Do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like guys at the back end of their career.
Speaker 1: So I just think it's just a matter of who
Speaker 1: wins and who loses. So addressing question, Yeah, we'll get
Speaker 1: to that one last because it's food related. Emails guys,
Speaker 1: if you want to send me an email Michael dot
Speaker 1: Carriana C A R A. Y Able an I s
Speaker 1: at News dot com dot Au and we can read
Speaker 1: them out. Harry wants to know if you're picking an
Speaker 1: Australian back five to play a play a hypothetical game
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, who's in it? So
Speaker 1: they should be in Australia. Australia will play against New
Speaker 1: Zealand and Tonga at the back end of the year,
Speaker 1: so boys if we're doing this. We did a little
Speaker 1: bit of homework, which is rare for us in these questions.
Speaker 1: But who's your Fullbacke Welsh? So we got two one
Speaker 1: No Dylan Edwards wingers, I got vel and a car.
Speaker 1: I definitely don't have that ocr. I definitely don't have
Speaker 1: that care Mel loves him.
Speaker 2: Does matter what your team does?
Speaker 1: Read you love him?
Speaker 3: So I thought picking what we think it would be,
Speaker 3: it's my team, it's your team. I didn't know that
Speaker 3: select Valin. I'll go with that a cart I've got
Speaker 3: Vow and Hammer. Okay, I've got Zach Lomax, oh intriguing.
Speaker 2: And I will go amos. I haven't liked what I've
Speaker 2: said from.
Speaker 1: Vow this year.
Speaker 3: You've said that numerous times and.
Speaker 1: Hamas on the wing of my centers A Latrell, Mitchell
Speaker 1: and Tom Travoyvich.
Speaker 3: I got Latrell and Hammer.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Is there any way I can sway Stephen
Speaker 1: Crichton into playing for Australia.
Speaker 2: You can try maybe?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm going to go have a meeting and
Speaker 1: a coffee with Stephen.
Speaker 2: Do you reckon? You coululd? You could do what MA
Speaker 2: couldn't Ricky.
Speaker 3: Can we stress that I didn't pick Crichton or because
Speaker 3: there's smart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'm going to turn him and you're going
Speaker 1: to play for Australia this year. Well, I would have
Speaker 1: Crichton if he plays, I would have Criton and obviously
Speaker 1: if they going to play for Austrain struggle to make
Speaker 1: more team Josh had a car.
Speaker 3: No, Valen Hammer would be on the wings. Oh you've
Speaker 3: changed now if Crime is playing, Sorry, okay, you don't
Speaker 3: know who you are?
Speaker 1: Fair enough?
Speaker 2: Well, and none of us have Dylan Edwards, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: he played in the wing last year.
Speaker 1: I don't have him on the wings playing back or
Speaker 1: not at all? Yeah, full back on, not at all,
Speaker 1: and there's a yeah, and I would.
Speaker 3: Put him third. I'd have pung A walh Dylan Edwards
Speaker 3: in that order.
Speaker 1: Brendan wants to know what is the thoughts or the
Speaker 1: panel with the scenario was saying more and more of
Speaker 1: a player in bracketts Cole Flannagan stays down to milk
Speaker 1: and penalty and it gets put and then the player
Speaker 1: gets put on a report only to then to trigger
Speaker 1: the player to be sent for a HI.
Speaker 4: All well, yeah, that the key to that is, don't
Speaker 4: stay down, and yes, you won't be sent off for
Speaker 4: Hi A.
Speaker 3: I think they should do it more for bloke stays down,
Speaker 3: get them off, spend fifteen in the HI.
Speaker 1: It was quite pitot at that moment too, because when
Speaker 1: Cole came off, the dragons fell apart a little bit.
Speaker 1: Don't stay down, No, no, okay, yeah, I agree, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're all agreeing with you, Brendan.
Speaker 3: We love Corlon. Let's just stress that good fellaw hates
Speaker 3: you playing good.
Speaker 1: For you wants to know. Hey, Michael, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if it's worthy of mentioning on your podcast featuring Brent Reid,
Speaker 1: but he says right every second sentence.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 1: The eals could extend Blaze to Lange if we've got
Speaker 1: one dollar for every time he says it.
Speaker 2: Once you realize he doesn't. I didn't realize it did that,
Speaker 2: so Rod, just a bit of feedback the right.
Speaker 1: Sorry, didn't probably come on it doesn't like that. And
Speaker 1: just finally, a lot of I haven't noticed. This is
Speaker 1: from Kevin for everyone there surname you spelled r E
Speaker 1: I D Come on, Rod, lift, don't do it to him,
Speaker 1: keep coming right if you you know what Rod.
Speaker 3: If you're going to spell spell my name wrong, then
Speaker 3: I'm going to keep saying right, right.
Speaker 1: Right, Kevin, Guys, I would like to know when the
Speaker 1: porkupine meat balls will be on your menu again for dinner.
Speaker 1: I love them as a kid, and say hi from Midland, Ontario.
Speaker 3: Never heard of Ontario. This requires deeper discussion. You've never
Speaker 3: heard of Ontario?
Speaker 1: I don't know.

Speaker 1: Going to get way great. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys are aware of the porcupine meatballs situation. Porcupines so well,
Speaker 1: you know how we end the segment with what we're
Speaker 1: having for dinner? A couple of years. It might have
Speaker 1: been last year, I said, because my wife obviously does
Speaker 1: most of the cooking at home. That said, no she does.
Speaker 1: Everyone that listens wouldn't know. Okay, we're having porcupine meatballs.
Speaker 1: I know what they were, right, but Buzz thought I
Speaker 1: was eating porcupine.
Speaker 3: Yes, is it mince porcupine?
Speaker 1: It is not mince porcupine meats with like spikes, like
Speaker 1: they look like spikes in the shape.
Speaker 2: Of you create the spikes?
Speaker 3: Is that dangerous look?
Speaker 1: Col wowser for those that are watching, For those that
Speaker 1: are watching, we actually have I did send this tweet
Speaker 1: to Clara and Clara has said it's on the menu,
Speaker 1: So not tonight, but maybe next week we're gonna have
Speaker 1: the porcupine meatles.
Speaker 3: That's You're right, Dave, that's rice inside the meatballs is
Speaker 3: all right, that's intriguing.
Speaker 2: They were pretty good. I've never had them before, but
Speaker 2: it's created a.

Speaker 3: tacos and I have like an air fors with only
Speaker 3: a little bit of cheese on.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like the heat is better than tacos.
Speaker 3: That's a good idea. You know what we're going changed
Speaker 3: my mind. Steak for heaters. That's a good idea. Now
Speaker 3: we'll go steak. We have a lot of chicken.
