We've got a huge show tonight, 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: a big signing for a big name player and club. 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: And also we've got Locker and Benny on the talk. 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: All things like card But let's get straight to it. Hoops, 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: you broke the story. This morning. Damian Cook signs a 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: two year deal with the Saint George Ilaora Dragons. 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 2: Only it's a win win for both clubs. 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: Boys in that Damian Cook, he's a leader, he's been 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: around the game for so long and established player. The 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 3: Dragons have clearly been lacking in that dummy half department 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 3: and by signing Damien it frees up five hundred thousand 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 3: dollars for South Sydney next year they'll only have to 16 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: chip in fifty thousand dollars and Saint George well they 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: get another big name and big game player. He's played 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 3: in four preliminary five finalds a Grand Final, State of 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 3: Origin tests for Australia. I think it's a good coup 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: for Saint George Lawara and another win for Shane flanaganin 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: Big here do you see. 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 4: I don't love it, but I'm not totally off it 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 4: for the reasons that that Hoop said. I think he's 24 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 4: going to bring a lot to the side in terms 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 4: of the standards they're trying to bring in. There's an 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 4: avoid of experience at the Dragons, There's no doubt about that. 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 4: Once Ben Hunt is not there, you know, there's no 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 4: natural leader in and around the side. 29 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 5: So I don't mind it from that point of view. 30 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 4: You know, there's a reason whyn Bennett's not having Damian 31 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: Cook at the club next year, and then you're going 32 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 4: to have a thirty two year old hooker in Damien Cook. 33 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 4: You've got a thirty four year old half back in 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 4: Ben Hunt, potentially both off contract in two more years. 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 4: I just think it's in a game now that's about 36 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 4: speed and the young players in and around the ruck. 37 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 4: I just don't know if he's going to add a 38 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 4: lot to the Dragons on the field. 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 5: What Damian Cook hasn't got to put you Well, he's 40 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 5: getting slow. 41 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: He's been good the last three or four weeks. 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 4: It wasn't that long ago I was playing reserve. Look, 43 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 4: this is not a Damien Cook fashion right, to be clear. 44 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: But. 45 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: He's one of the more lightning quick dummy halves in 46 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: the competition. 47 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 4: I just think it's a for the Dragons who have 48 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 4: been very patient. I guess in the way they're trying 49 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 4: to build that roster in the next two years. If 50 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 4: if a star dummy half comes onto the market, they're 51 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 4: now out of play. 52 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 3: If you look at all the best playmakers in the 53 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: competition now, a lot of them are playing well into 54 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: their thirties. 55 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: You mentioned then half back. Not a lot of hookerses 56 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: well thirty and. 57 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 5: He's doing career best form. Correct, Damien's not. 58 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I disagree. I think it's good. 59 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm I don't think you're saying it's a bad You 60 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: would have went a different direction. 61 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 5: I just would have been a little bit more worried 62 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 5: about the cat. 63 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 6: Now. 64 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: So Damien Cook goes to nine, then you've got Ben 65 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Hunt seven, Cole Flannigan at six. So that looks like 66 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: it's going to be the way it will be now 67 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: moving forward. 68 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 7: I thought Flannigan was maybe going to go into nine 69 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 7: that you like, that was a rumor that was spoken 70 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 7: about it, and and with Cook with the real changes 71 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 7: a few years ago, I thought he would have really 72 00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 7: lit it up. 73 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 8: I think he's little bit stale that souse. 74 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 7: Maybe this is the new injection that he needs, and 75 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 7: he's got to change his game a little bit, Like 76 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 7: he doesn't run as much. He's still probably the fastest 77 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 7: hooker ever to play the game, but I think that 78 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 7: it can be danger science at that age, in the 79 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 7: last year of his t You. 80 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 6: I think he's too old for the money they've paid. 81 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 8: No, I don't think so. I think five what is 82 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 8: a five hundred? 83 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 7: I think that's a great puy really, Like, that's not overs, 84 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 7: that's that's that's going, right, Isn't that really? 85 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 8: Kids on that? 86 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 9: You know? 87 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 4: Wayn Bennett's coming to win premierships, right, So he's not 88 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 4: going to sell players that thinks he can win a 89 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: competition regardless of their salary, right, And that's a concern. 90 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: It's a good point of mate, because you're right, Wayne 91 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: Bennett's coming to the club and he obviously didn't want 92 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: Cook there, and he's making some big plays. Now you 93 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: mentioned it frees up a lot of money there, hoops. 94 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: Does that open the door for Brandon Smith to go 95 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: from the Roosters to the rabbit Os. 96 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: I think it's a possibility. And look, you never say 97 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: never in rugby league, as crazy as it sounds, because 98 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: they've hated and load one another since nine oh eight 99 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: South Sydney and the Roosters and it's very hard to 100 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: see them ever agreeing to doing business on any sort 101 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: of level. But in this instance, I just get the 102 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: impression that Brandon's worn out his welcome at the Chalks 103 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: and a coach like Wayne Bennett I know, and Gordon 104 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: you know as well, how good. 105 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: He can be. 106 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 6: It's just an opinion of yours or have you heard, Mayol. 107 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 3: I have heard that it has been discussed and it 108 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 3: is a possibility of happening. 109 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: Now, wouldn't he politis let go of Brendan Smith to 110 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: go to the enemy? 111 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: Well that's going to be the million dollar question. And 112 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 3: it is literally going to be the million dollar question 113 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: because it's going to be a matter of how much 114 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: the Roosters would be prepared to throw in. I said 115 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: on this show last week break that the talk is 116 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: the Roosters will be willing to throw in four hundred 117 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: thousand dollars for Brandon to walk away from his contract 118 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: for next year with them. Would they be willing to 119 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: put that much in if it means he's going to 120 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 3: go to South Sydney. 121 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the question right, Like. 122 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 6: They're going to pay so souse money for them. That's 123 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 6: the managers. 124 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 7: You would think the manager would we will go follow 125 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 7: him a club, watch the deal. How much is it 126 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 7: to get rid of him? And then they go. 127 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 8: But we can go and talk to whatever club we want. 128 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: It might be five hundred one club and two hundred. 129 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: Just quickly to Brendan Smith, Yeah, he falls into that 130 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: Wayne Bennett coach. 131 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 6: He needs a little bit of help. He's off the 132 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 6: rails a little bit. 133 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: He's you know, it's it's another it's another player that 134 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: everyone would like to think that Wayne could get the 135 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: best out of. 136 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 8: Balmy got the best out of him. Right. 137 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 7: So you get those big personalities rob bon coach. Yeah, 138 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 7: but they some some can't deal with big personality, So 139 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 7: so could Brian Smith. He's probably the best coach. But 140 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 7: when you get big and your personality and you're not 141 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 7: always in the box, like Alan Langer would have tour 142 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 7: Strips off Brian Smith. He couldn't have handled him right, seriously, right, 143 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 7: But like some coaches just know how to deal with 144 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 7: those bigger personalities, right, and you just see it like 145 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 7: someone like an Andrew Johns and a Wendell Saylor and 146 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 7: the elfie layers and they don't get treated, but they're 147 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 7: just a little bit annoying. They buzz around the training 148 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 7: I think brand Wayne's had those. 149 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: You'll have a few of them at the club, like 150 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: when you when you're breaking all down. I'm not going 151 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: to name names, but at the Bunnies, you know you've 152 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: got some players that are a little bit temperamental and 153 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: a little bit up and down, and he's going to 154 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: have to control all of them. But if he can 155 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: control all of them, and he was to get him 156 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: with the roster that they do have, they are definitely 157 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: a premiership team. 158 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 6: There's no doubt about it. 159 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 5: We wanted him at the Dolphins, don't forget. 160 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: And if it wasn't for dinner at Trent Robinson's house, 161 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 4: he was committed and the Dolphins thought they had him. 162 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: So Wayne does have that knowledge of Brandon and had 163 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 4: pursued him heavily before. But you're right if they throw 164 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 4: in Brandon Smith with Cody Walker, La troll Mitchell and 165 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 4: they're playing off the front foot. 166 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, that isome and. 167 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 6: You may have some mail on us for you and 168 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 6: Ake and he's your chance to go. 169 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: I think be at South Sydney next year. So he 170 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 4: will potentially be Wayne Bennett's first signing you and Aiken. 171 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 4: He's obviously with him at the Dolphins at the moment. 172 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 4: They're just finalizing either a two or three year deal 173 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 4: for you and Aiken to join the club. And he's 174 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 4: been handy at the Dolphins. Started virtually or he's been 175 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 4: in the seventeen virtually every game for Wayne Bennett over 176 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 4: the past two seasons. Can play in the back row, 177 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 4: can play at center. He offers versatility, experience player at 178 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 4: twenty nine years of age. I think he's a handy 179 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 4: addition to that squad. 180 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: And sus may have they got the check BOOKI out 181 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: to Bell and the chance there's. 182 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 6: A lot of players with toss its. 183 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: A lot because well, the natural thing is that they're 184 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 4: desperate for some middles. We're talking about potentially adding Brandon Smith. 185 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: Nothing helps if they don't add some grunt to the 186 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 4: middle of the field. And a few names that have 187 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 4: been linked there have been Jack de Bellen and Royce Hunt. 188 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: It's minustanding that Royce Hunt is the more likely or 189 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 4: the two if one of them do end up there. 190 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 4: Speaking of South Sydney officials today, they said it was 191 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: unlikely that Jack de Bellen would be at Sous. Royce 192 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: Hunt has been given permission to negotiate for twenty twenty 193 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: six from the Kronala Sharks, so they fast tracked that 194 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 4: November one deadline. 195 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 5: But we know what happens. We saw it with Connor Tracy. 196 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 4: They did something similar that they gave him permission to 197 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: negotiate for the following season. Then if a club comes 198 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: to an arrangement, those two clubs will try and work 199 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: out a deal. But your naked will be at Souse. 200 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: Royce Hunt is a chance. I'd say Jack de Billin unlikely. 201 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 4: And the other one is to be to Panguy Jr. 202 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 4: Who is a wait and see. You know, Wayne's not 203 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 4: sure what he's going to get from him at the Dolphins, 204 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 4: but I think if he hits the ground running starts well, 205 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 4: he'll probably be at Souse as well. 206 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 7: He didn't he leave here because he wanted to be 207 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 7: back in Queensland recently. 208 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 8: We can talk about. 209 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 3: He's prepared to return if it means he's playing under 210 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 3: Wayne returns. He's playing Underwayne in the Sydney at one stage. 211 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 6: Let's move on Wayne. He's almost coaching two teams at 212 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 6: the moment. 213 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: It's interesting, isn't it? Like we wrapped him. 214 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: I saw him wrap last night on the show for 215 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: the job that he's been able to do with the Dolphins, 216 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: to have them in the top four, to orchestrate that 217 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: him Bush against the Sharks pack when he had Kenny 218 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: Bromwich starting in the front row alongside for Luis Cafusi. 219 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 3: I think he really is showing his genius as a coach, Gordon. 220 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: But where it gets really interesting is I think he's 221 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: also been picking up the phone regularly. And you look 222 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: at that South Sydney team. Since Wayne was announced as 223 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 3: South's head coach for next season, they've won three games 224 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: on the bounce. Keonla Matangi and Davy Moaly prior to 225 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 3: that hadn't been cited much this season. Now Keon's playing 226 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: in the middle, Davy's starting and playing big minutes in 227 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: the front row, and they're both absolutely flying. Latrell Mitchell, 228 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 3: Cody Walker, Jack Whiteon, Damian cook, you name it. Every 229 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 3: single player in that roster has lifted since Wayne's announcement 230 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 3: was made. And we know the Dolphins, but he's as 231 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: well they're winning. 232 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 8: That he's got direct contact with. Yeah, he's coach happy 233 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 8: here are you going to be here? Yeah? 234 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: But they want to try and do as best as 235 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 3: they can this year. They're in the top four. They 236 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: probably he's telling them they're a genuine chance of winning 237 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 3: the competition this year, but for next season. I find 238 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: it interesting he would be the first coach in the 239 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: history of the game back to nine and o eight 240 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 3: to have the helmet at. 241 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: Two clubs to a degree. 242 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: And we know how tidy is with Ben Hormy they 243 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 3: won a premiership together in twenty ten. 244 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 6: He was a genius before. What about this he's got. 245 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: They both. 246 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 8: How do you reckon the players are feeling at the Dolphin. 247 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 6: Yeah? 248 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: I think Wayne is that good that you know he 249 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: gives them all well, I don't think they'd be worried 250 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: about it, because did they look worried. 251 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: They knew he was leaving anyone on the fridge. 252 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 8: It's it's you know that it's. 253 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: Been setting stone since he first signed with the Marshal King. 254 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 8: It's all those players. There's those young ones around the group. 255 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: But it's been setting stone since he saw him with 256 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: the Dolphins that he's leaving at the end of the month. 257 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: Score he will probably give indication of that, so we'll 258 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: just keep on a few tricks up his sleeve. All right. 259 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Let's switch to Origin now. Peter Bedell is covering all 260 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: things Queensland. Pete Platrell's back for the Blues. But there's 261 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: one Maroon who's promised to stop the strike weapon. 262 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 10: Yes, good evening breath, and that man is Valentine's Day, 263 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 10: Valentine Holmes, the Queensland Sinner. It's probably the toughest job 264 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 10: in Origin two for any Queensland now Valentine Holmes has experienced. 265 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 10: Of course, this is his eighteenth game for the Maroons, 266 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 10: but he's never marked up against the beast, the Blues 267 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 10: bully that is latroal Mitchell. And of course, guys, if 268 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 10: you remember to Mottrell's last series for the Blues, he 269 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 10: was outstanding. Four tries in three games. He destroyed Queensland 270 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 10: in Queensland four hundred and nine meters across the series, 271 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 10: seventeen tackle bus, three line breaks. This is the sort 272 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 10: of presence that Valentine Holmes has to stop. But Valentine, 273 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 10: he's bullish, he says, I'll get in his face. 274 00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 6: I'm prepared to. 275 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 10: Sh shut him down, and he's going to need all 276 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 10: of his experience, Valentine Holmes in the big stage, in 277 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 10: a big game to shut down Latrell. Let's see if 278 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 10: he can do it at the MCG Valentine's Day. 279 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 6: That's one of your best bomber. Now, let's move on 280 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 6: to the next one. 281 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: Selwyn Cobbo, what's the real reason for him missing Origin two? 282 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 10: Yeah, Broth look at some interesting developments. Darren Lockyer spoke 283 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 10: today quite candidly the Queens and Selected and of course 284 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 10: he's a Broncos legend, Darren, but he also knows the 285 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 10: machinations at the Broncos and he said that Selwyn Cobbo 286 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 10: went to Billy Slater, they had a hard to heart 287 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 10: conversation and he was quite honest that he wasn't right, 288 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 10: not only physically, but he wasn't mentally right to back 289 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 10: up for Origin two. Now, of course Selwyn was outstanding 290 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 10: in Game one. We later discovered through Billy Slater, the coach, 291 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 10: that he'd had a painkilling injection to get through Origin one. 292 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 10: But there are not only some physical issues, but some 293 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 10: mental issues. And I've got to tell you, Break, he's 294 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 10: been given a week off by the Broncos. He won't train, 295 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 10: and there were some concerns about his long term future 296 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 10: in the game. But I've spoken to Kevin Waltters, the 297 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 10: Broncos coach, and he assures me he will be picked 298 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 10: for Brisbane's next game against the Warriors on Saturday week. 299 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 10: So that's good news for Seln Cobo. He will be 300 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 10: back for the Broncos. 301 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: And his BOMA makes a lot of sense. And that's 302 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: fair enough. Now, Reecee Walsh is back in the team. 303 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: How did the Morons plan on unleashing him for Game two? 304 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, they were very disappointed Break that they weren't 305 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 10: able to implement the game plan that they had formulated. Now, 306 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 10: I was at Moron's training before Game one, guys, and 307 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 10: one thing I noticed was that they were working a 308 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 10: lot of outside inside balls. They want to get Reese 309 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 10: involved lurking around the midfield. Now, of course, if you're 310 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 10: watching for the Broncos, he's often quite one dimensional in 311 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 10: the sense that he comes in on backman plays his 312 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 10: pace is extreme, but he has that same pattern where 313 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 10: he attacks to the edges. Billy Slater one of the 314 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 10: great fullbacks. Of course, he's got another idea to get 315 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 10: Reese Walsh lurking around the midfield in much the same 316 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 10: vein as James Tedesco and Ryan Papenhou's and the outside 317 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 10: inside balls that are so destructive, so lethal, and that's 318 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 10: where he believes Ree Walsh can really unleash his pace 319 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 10: and trouble the Blues around the rucks and tire out 320 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 10: their defenders. So don't only watch out for Reese Walsh 321 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 10: out wide in Origin two, watch him around the middle. 322 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 10: He's coming for the Blues. 323 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 6: That's scary science for New South Wales. 324 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: Now you've got some news for us, Pete on Josh 325 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: Hannay and his possible appointment for the Eels. 326 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right, Break, he's edging closer to the paramatter 327 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 10: Eels job. 328 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 6: Now. 329 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 10: He is, of course a Queen's in assistant to Billy Slater. 330 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 10: Done a fine job with Ben, exemplary for the Maroons, 331 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 10: really supportive. But I can tell you that he is 332 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 10: now in the final two with Jason Ryles his second 333 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 10: round appointment. The formal presentation will be delivered to the 334 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 10: paramatter board after Origin two, and he's got some secret 335 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 10: weapons in his corner. 336 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 8: Breath. 337 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 10: I can tell you that two of his references as 338 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 10: part of this job application process Billy Slater, the queens 339 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 10: End coach Daley Cherry Evans, the queens Land captain. There's 340 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 10: two fair aces up your sleeve if you're going in 341 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 10: to pitch your credentials and your bona fides to coaching 342 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 10: the Ennarells. So Jason Roles may be a real chance, 343 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 10: but I think Josh Hanay is the favorite of this stage. 344 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 10: I will not be surprised if he gets the job 345 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 10: with daily Cherry Evans and Billy Slater in his corner. 346 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: Yep, great word, Bomber.

Gordy. 353 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 5: You're a no problem bro that's in Queensland. 354 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 6: You're a trainer, you're a bra boy. 355 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 5: Stick with the blues. 356 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 6: Buddy. 357 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's switch focus now and move too. He's 358 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: South Wales, where Jake Chaboiovich has no problems playing limited 359 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: minutes again after the Blues were criticized for leaving this 360 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: skipper posted on the bench in the Origin opener. 361 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 9: Get any time you get to play for Blues streaming special. 362 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 9: So it doesn't really matter about the minutes. I'm just 363 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 9: to be out there, and I think the way that 364 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 9: things worked out with being one down and we'll chasing points, 365 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 9: you know, just sort of the way it worked out 366 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 9: that night, which is completely fine. 367 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 5: I'm only learning this role. 368 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 9: I'm doing my best. I'm not going to change anything. 369 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 9: I've sort of said that we've got lots of great 370 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 9: leaders around me, so that's a positive, you know, Oh 371 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 9: it's probably probably not know, but like you just do 372 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 9: your best, do your best throughout the week, and when 373 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 9: you're out there, you do your best. 374 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: I love him one thing for sure. He always does 375 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: his best. Jake Schiboievitch has no doubt about that. It 376 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: was not ideal in game one for him to be 377 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: captain and not get it the amount of minutes that he. 378 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 6: Would have liked. How do we see this? What do 379 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 6: we think about his Cordy. 380 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 8: Are you look? 381 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 7: They said that just the way that the game went, 382 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 7: that they would like to have got him more time. 383 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 7: I watched him play on Sunday and when the chips 384 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 7: were down and they needed the experiences, he and Dally, 385 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 7: Cherry Evans and a Galado they got the mainly side home. 386 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 7: So to be a leader, you want him out there. 387 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 7: He does leave on the front. He can play big 388 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 7: quality minutes. I just think he got lost in rotation 389 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 7: and I don't think that'll happen again. 390 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 6: What do you think about the Blues team. 391 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 4: I think it's a fast, superior side than Game one. 392 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 4: I think it's got a lot more strike, a lot 393 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 4: better balance, and I think for Michael McGuire, this is 394 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 4: larger the side that he wanted to pick head into 395 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 4: Game one. But obviously we know what happened to Yllan Edwards. 396 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 4: Mitch Moses wasn't available, Cam Murray wasn't available, Connor Watson 397 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 4: wasn't available. The only one is probably Latroll Mitchell, who 398 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 4: probably you wouldn't have made his Game one side. But 399 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: for mine, this is the game. I'm going to judge 400 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 4: Michael McGuire on not Game one. We saw what happened 401 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 4: after seven minutes Jase Sauali he sent from the field. 402 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 4: We saw players in that squad that I truly believe 403 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 4: that he did not think we're going to be in 404 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 4: his first Origin side as coach yourself. 405 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 7: Well side wasn't that bad? Were down by twelve man 406 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 7: with fifteen minutes to go, still in it. 407 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 5: And they look decent god right. 408 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 4: But I think if you asked Michael McGuire, hand on heart, 409 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 4: which side would he have liked to have run out 410 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 4: in game one? 411 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 5: It's this side here. 412 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: There's no question this is the team he wanted. He 413 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 3: wanted Dylan Edwards and he got injured in camp. He 414 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: would have picked Mitch if he was fit and available, 415 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 3: and he would have picked Cameron Murray every day of 416 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: the week, who's been a mainstay of that sort. It 417 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 3: was even Ke Watson too, he was that's right leading 418 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 3: up the game. Got the throat injury and it was unavailable. 419 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: So Madge's got the toom he wants. 420 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: What about the lead up? He's like, we've we've spoken 421 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: about it all week. He has lit the fuse and 422 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: he's taken billy On head to head and New South 423 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: Wales in all their press conferences of just they are 424 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: taking this on. They're pretty much Madge's leading from the front. 425 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: Is there any risk of Madge over cooking this or 426 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: do we like what he's done? 427 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 8: Well? 428 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 2: This is a style of coach that Madge is. 429 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: He's always been siege mentality, Chips all in Gop for break. 430 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 3: I love the sledge, the Glasshouses sledge because for so 431 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: many years in state of origin it's been too sanitized 432 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 3: in my opinion, when you played, I remember you going 433 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: tayto Tae with Ben Kennedy in the paper. It's been 434 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: going on for many years with Benny OLiS and Greg 435 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 3: Dowling and all those champions that have worn the jumpers 436 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 3: over the years. 437 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: Goal once famously set. 438 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: Everybody in Insland's got two heads and people take it 439 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 3: personally because it is personal, it's. 440 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: State of origin. 441 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 3: It leans a lot to ten million people along the 442 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 3: east in the country areas because it is. 443 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 7: A decider for Queensland. Right, it is game two, we win, 444 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 7: we win the series. We're not talking about New South 445 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 7: Ask that much. We're talking about billion match, right. Wayne 446 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 7: Bennett is a master stroke when he takes pressure off 447 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 7: his team. It could be a master stroke from match. 448 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 4: And it was calculated. There's no doubt about that. Absolutely 449 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 4: knew what he was doing. And it's not only has 450 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 4: it fired up the team, but it's fired up a 451 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 4: state and if there was any queens well both both 452 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: states there Gordon, because you look at on the Golden Boys. 453 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 5: Was that not allowed? But if you look at the 454 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 5: New South. 455 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: I said the other night, there are a lot of 456 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: fans New South of Ulshman, a lot of ex players 457 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: that were looking at those comments and looking at the 458 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: reaction and thinking come on mate, come on mate, And 459 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: that's the honest truth. And there their fight mag has 460 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: brought the fans into this. He's got the players rolled 461 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: up and he's got that hatred, that hatred that will 462 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 1: Queensland always talk about. The Blues are matching it at 463 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: the moment. 464 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 4: Because there's not a lot of villains in that Queensland side, right, 465 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 4: if you break down that Queensland side, there's not a 466 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 4: lot of villains. But even Billy when he played is 467 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 4: a New South walksman. 468 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 7: Billy's not playing get does he need extra security? And 469 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 7: it's not. 470 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 4: Like that it's to roll the fans up, it's to 471 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 4: get him behind it the side and I really think 472 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 4: that Michael Wie has done a great job in united 473 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 4: and igniting Origin. 474 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 3: I think the scary part is that Billy Slater so 475 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 3: far has proven every bit as much of a genius 476 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 3: coach as he was a genius player. And that's where 477 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 3: Madge really needs to get busy and figure out how 478 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 3: he's going to strategize to outpoint Billy. 479 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: Could impact Queensland at all or you just got no concerns. 480 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 8: You look, the. 481 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 7: Reason why this game has always gone to gain three 482 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 7: or like ninety percent of the time is because the 483 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 7: Hungary State always wins and New South well, I think 484 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 7: it is a better side. I think they've got a 485 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 7: lot more football in him, and they're a proud state. 486 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 7: The trail's a beast, that state of origin, and Madge 487 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 7: has fired him up and he's litter fews that has 488 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 7: ignited the state. 489 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 8: Yep. 490 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: Liam Martin was fantastic as always in game one, but 491 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: he didn't train with the team. Do we have any 492 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: updates or mailon where he's at leading in the game too. 493 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 3: He's got turf toe, so he had to have painkilling 494 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 3: injections to take the field for the Panthers against Newcastle 495 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 3: O o of the course of the weekend. 496 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 2: I think it'll just be on. 497 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 3: Lighter restricted duties for the opening couple of days of camp. 498 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 3: But we saw his impact and his influence on the 499 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 3: game in State of Origin one. It was a similar 500 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: story leading into the first camp. Jermaine Hopgood's still not 501 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 3: playing because of that bone rattling copybook tackle that Liam 502 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: Martin put on in State of Origin one. So he's 503 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 3: a big game player every day of the week, no 504 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 3: doubt whatsoever he'll be starting the game. 505 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 4: And he was the only Blue not to train today, 506 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 4: So the rest of the squad full fitness and there's 507 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 4: not the concerns that was heading into one. 508 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: With a player like him, you trust him that much 509 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: that you just let him get right and let the 510 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: coach know when he's ready and then you let him train. 511 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: Now is it time for Paint hass to start dominating 512 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: at Origin level? There's been a few whispers around from 513 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: X front rowers and players that you know, Pain is 514 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: a magnificent front rower and does it every week for Brisbane, 515 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: but is he not owning it for New South Wales 516 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: and at Origin level? 517 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 3: Well, he's been challenged because I think he's won four 518 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: or five Paul Morgan medals is Brisbane's best player. I 519 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 3: don't know how many Dally and Proper the year awards 520 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 3: it is, but it'd be a similar number. At club level, 521 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 3: is regarded as one of the elite front rowers in 522 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: the game. At State of Origin level, he is yet 523 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 3: to deliver fourth the Blues, so the challenge is on. 524 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 3: I like the fact that it's become headlines and knowing 525 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 3: the style of player and the blake that he is, 526 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 3: gord he I think you'll handle. 527 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 6: It, Gordy. 528 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: Before I get to you, Let's have a look at 529 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: his stats in the NFL compared to Origin. Now meters 530 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: per game he averages one sixty for Brisbane. 531 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 6: Only one, well not only but a one eleven in. 532 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: Origin post contact meters seventy at for Brisbane, forty five 533 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: for New South Wales. 534 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 6: And this one is stands out quite a bit. 535 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: Tackle busts per game three point six two up in 536 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: four and if you look at Origin level he's just 537 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: over one. So there is a significant difference between his 538 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: form for the Broncos compared to New South Wales. 539 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 7: I think if you put most stats up there that'll 540 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 7: probably be the same. It's it's such a different arena 541 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 7: and it's a harder arena. 542 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 6: Yeah, plants will be different. 543 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 7: Painter has done his job at State of Oregon, he 544 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 7: just hasn't dominated. Like we've watched him at club level 545 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 7: do his twenty hit ups and he's the best player 546 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 7: on the film. 547 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 8: He's probably yet to do it by New South waleser yet. 548 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 6: But that's that's the point. 549 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: Like if you put everyone's stats up, they're going to 550 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: be quite different from club Land to Origin, but not 551 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: the greats and not the ones that make a difference 552 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: right there, stats are quite similar. 553 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 8: That wasn't it wasn't the time. 554 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 7: How much time he's out there as well, And I 555 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 7: believe most unt rollers they are a one two punch. 556 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 7: And we got one of the best coming on in 557 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 7: the next segment in Blocker, and I'd like to get 558 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 7: his opinion. But normally when front rollers are at their best, 559 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 7: they've got you know, like a bloke beside. 560 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: Them, absolutely Gordy. 561 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 3: But if you go back over all the great front rolls, 562 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 3: whether they played for New South Wales or whether they 563 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 3: played for Coins, they play Lazarus, Shane Webbkin Petro Blocker, 564 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 3: Jason Rowles, Marc O'Meally for the Blues. More recently, they 565 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 3: get it done and they win and that's and they 566 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 3: win series. 567 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 2: That's the challenge for pain. 568 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Ye big challenge for part He's doing an awesome job, 569 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: but can he take you to that next level is 570 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: the big question. 571 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 6: That's my Island Fox League. 572 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: Watch the up and coming superstars at the NFL in 573 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: the under nineteen state of origin boys, who's your Bundy 574 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: player to watch? 575 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: I'm going for a younger and he's a half back 576 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 3: plays at Canterbury banks Down will represent. 577 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 2: New South Wales. 578 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 3: Mitchell Woods huge raps on this playmaker coming through. 579 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: I've watched him player a lot and he had a 580 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: great year this year for the Bulldogs. 581 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 6: Definitely keep an eye on him. 582 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: Mine's another one from the Penrish system Casey McLean his 583 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 4: older brother Jesse. 584 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 5: We've had a glimpse of in the. 585 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 4: NROL and they say case is going to be a 586 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 4: superstar eighteen years of age. We'll go into their top 587 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 4: thirty next year in talks for a long term deal 588 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 4: as well at Penrith. I think he's going to be 589 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 4: one of those guys that we speak about as another 590 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 4: Penri superstar. 591 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 7: And mine's for the Queenslanders. The young cowboy Jackson Perdue. 592 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 7: He made his debill against the Roosters a couple of 593 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 7: weeks ago out in the centers, did a really good 594 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 7: job there. Every time he touched the ball, he was 595 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 7: very classy. So I think he'll be playing fullback for 596 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 7: Ben TiO side and the Queens nineties. And he's a 597 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 7: fair bit of talent there. 598 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 6: Beautiful. Can't wait for this game. 599 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: You can watch all the up and coming superstars of 600 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: our game right here on Fox League. 601 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 8: Now. 602 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 6: The Eels are still searching for the quest for your coach. 603 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: Where are the four horse races down to a two 604 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 3: horse race? Look, it's fast become a laughing stop broth. 605 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 3: It's the never ending story. They're just the wheels are 606 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 3: spinning around, They're going around in circles. 607 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 2: We just need to make it asision. 608 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 6: So let's have a look at their quotes. 609 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: And this was back when they let go of Brad 610 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: Arthur ba Whether that is the job for an established coach, 611 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: one that has had a track record of success or 612 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: a young emerging coach. We'll go through an entire process. 613 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: We'll search high end low for the perfect selection. Right 614 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: across the rugby League landscape here and oversea, So that's 615 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: from the Eiels CEO. 616 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 6: But you don't believe they've done that. 617 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 3: Or we've gone We've said we're going to go far 618 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 3: and wide, high and low, all over the globe, all 619 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 3: over the universe, and then we've landed on Jason Rowles 620 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 3: and Josh Hannay, who everybody suggested were probably the most 621 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 3: obvious candidates at the beginning of the entire process. You 622 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 3: go to the good clubs, they don't sack an existing 623 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 3: coach without having somebody better already prepared and ready to 624 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: replace them out of the interview process. Both I've actually 625 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 3: heard that Michael Checker and I know we've discussed him 626 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 3: at length, that it would be a left field and 627 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: risky play of heard he was the most impressive of 628 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 3: the first round of interviews. The fact that we've got 629 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: to go let's form a subcommittee. Now, let's have a 630 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 3: round of interviews. Now let's go back to the subcommittee. 631 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 3: Then we've got to have another round of interviews over 632 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 3: the course of the next four or five days, and 633 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 3: then hopefully finally we get a decision by July. 634 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: I think it's a laughing. 635 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 4: Stock just in terms of going far and why, Well, 636 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 4: they have done that with Michael Checker, they looked outside 637 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 4: the box. 638 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 5: They did do that with Brian McDermott. 639 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 4: They spoke with Sean Wayne or they reached out to 640 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 4: Sean Wayne and discussed the potential for him to have 641 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 4: a job. 642 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 5: So they have done that. 643 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 4: I think where you're right, Hoops, is that they didn't 644 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 4: have any clarity of what the head coach was going 645 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 4: to look like when they started this process. I think 646 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 4: that's that's all for everyone to see with the range 647 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 4: of people that they interviewed, and because of that, it's 648 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 4: probably taken longer then potentially it should have. But I 649 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 4: think if we started this process, and you're one hundred 650 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 4: percent right, if we said he were the top two candidates, 651 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 4: and we probably said it on the show a month ago, 652 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 4: it was Jason Ryles and Josh Hannah, and you know, 653 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 4: they've looked around and that's where that landed. 654 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 6: A little bit of times. And apparently tramp Barrett there. 655 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 5: Was I don't think tramp Barra was evering. He wasn't. 656 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 5: I don't think trem Barrett was ever. 657 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 4: The front miss reporting from someone Well, it was always 658 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 4: these two. For mine, it was always Jason Royle or 659 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 4: Josh handon. 660 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 8: The process if they missed Wayne. 661 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 7: So it was Wayne, right, and if you get embarrassed, 662 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 7: if you miss your target, then you know what you do? 663 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 7: You go and interview everybody. Yeah, don't, Yeah, because otherwise 664 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 7: make paramatter and know on the fans the way I do. Right, 665 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 7: I think that they'd be over this, and I think 666 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 7: that they all probably liked Brad Arthur and it might 667 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 7: have been time for a new voice. 668 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 8: Who knows. 669 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 7: But without going and just picking another play, they would 670 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 7: have went, what about this guy? 671 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 8: What about that guy? I reckon, it's covering all the 672 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 8: bases for him. Yeah. 673 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 3: This is more beef with the process, Gordon, is that 674 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 3: they were never a chance of getting Wayne. They had 675 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: an opportunity to sign Wayne all the way back in November, 676 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 3: and they were so dithering and slow and ineffective in 677 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: terms of. 678 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 5: Or faith him Brad and hope that Brad would turn 679 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 5: it around. 680 00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah they did. 681 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 3: But you know alternately, what they could have done me 682 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: They could have gone, you know what, we've given Brad 683 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 3: eleventh seasons, it's probably coming to an end. 684 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: Let's give him this year. Let's go sign Wayne. 685 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 3: Now announce it, say Wayne's coming in twenty twenty five. 686 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 2: This is ba Swan song. 687 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 3: Then he also gets a respectful and dignified exit and 688 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 3: they land the super coach instead. They're still going around 689 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: in circles in the middle of the season and it's 690 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 3: a laughing stock the process. 691 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 5: To me, it's a lot. I don't know. I don't 692 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 5: know because I don't know who's describing. 693 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 3: Name me a good name, me a good club, meek 694 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 3: who has sacked the coach without somebody better to replace them. 695 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 4: I think there'd be lots of clubs that have sacked 696 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 4: coaches without me A good club, Well, a good club 697 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 4: with the good clubs don't really sack coaches lately, do they. 698 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 3: When Penrith wet and got Ivan Cleary, they just went 699 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 3: and got the deal done. 700 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: When the went and got Trent Robinson, they just went. 701 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 4: If you look at the recent clubs that have sacked coaches, 702 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 4: the Dragons didn't have anyone lined up. They thought they 703 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 4: had Jason Rowls landed on Shane Flanna. Again it happens 704 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 4: no one automatically. They went for Wayn Bennett. They didn't 705 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 4: get Wynnett. They realized Brad Arthur's time was gone and 706 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 4: now they're going through a process. Don't think it's that 707 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 4: big of a deal. 708 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: We've got Hanna and Rolls. It seems to be a 709 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: two horse race. Like we've mentioned, who do we go? 710 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: Just quickly, who do you pick? 711 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 8: And why? 712 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 6: From all three let's go. 713 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 3: My opinion is Jason Rolls, but I'm hearing Hannah is 714 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: in front, so take. 715 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: That of your lot. 716 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: I think it's really going to come down to the interview. 717 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 4: I think it's that close. Braith, you hear that. Peter 718 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 4: bit Ell says that Billy Slader is going to provide 719 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 4: a reference for Josh Hannah. He was pretty close to 720 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 4: Jason Rowles at Melbourne as well, so I find that 721 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 4: an interesting development. 722 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 5: But I think I'm sure. 723 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 6: Trent Robinson and Craig fitz Gibbon and. 724 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 7: A least I think they both have I think they've 725 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 7: done a fair apprenticeship right If they're going down this path, 726 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 7: I think it's six and one half a dozen. 727 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 8: Then the other. 728 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 5: I'm with Audio. I can't split them either. 729 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 6: It's a tough one. 730 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 8: All right. 731 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: What about like Cart? You've got some europe very passionate 732 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: about like Cart. You're a Tiger's member, you probably watched 733 00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: the other night. 734 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 6: With ree. 735 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: Heo body Pabody is an absolute disgrace. Giving forty million 736 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 3: dollars is like putting lipstick on a pig. Seriously, he 737 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 3: needs to go down to a PSM and get those 738 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 3: bifocals reset. 739 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 6: They couldn't be. 740 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 2: Legally blind if he That is the problem. 741 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: Actually, that's what that's why, that's why he doesn't like 742 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 3: Like Art because he's legally blind without the shades and 743 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 3: it must have taken him off when he was there. 744 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 3: But on a serious note, Shane Richardson went to the 745 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 3: board earlier this week. He's presented a proposal where the 746 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 3: West Tigers next year would play four games at Combak Stadium, 747 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: four games at Campbelltown and three games at Like Art. 748 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 3: I'm just happy that the government, federal state and the 749 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 3: Inner West Council have all got some money together and 750 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 3: that Like Art survives because it's a community asset and 751 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 3: the fans. 752 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 6: Love it nicely. 753 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: Already had a tough week, Billy did, Billy gave it 754 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: home watching Ready, just take care yourself.
