1
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to ben three sixty Rebel League from every angle,

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: brought to you by NIV. Joining me again the great

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Gordon Tallers, Poor Crawley and Dean Richie. But let's get

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: straight to our Telstra top story. John Bateman is gone

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: from the West Tigers with English import, heading back to

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: the Super League to join Warrington for the rest of

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: the season. What the hell is going on here? Can

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: someone please explain?

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: I'd love to be able to explad It's one of

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: the most bizarre things I've ever heard. This story is

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: unfolding this evening. They insist he will be back breath

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 2: for the start of next year. He's still got three

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: years left on his contract at Concord, But for the

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: life of me, I cannot see, at his age, how

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: we can go home now and then come back for

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: the start of next year. He's gone for good.

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: And why would a club allow a player to leave

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: at this stage of the season, regardless of where you are,

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: even if it saves you a bit of salary cap.

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 3: You've got the credibility of your own club and he's

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: going overseas. Talk you'll come back next year. There's been

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: talk all year that John Bateman hasn't been happy at

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: the West Tigers and that's clear in his form on

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: the field. You know, I kind of think the Tiger's

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 3: got a little bit to answer to. Other clubs were

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: chasing John Bateman. He goes to the West Tigers because

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 3: they think he can play. You know, he doesn't perform there.

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: We've seen it with Isaiah Pappali. He goes from Paramatta

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 3: where he's absolutely killing it, goes to West Tigers. Suddenly

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: they don't want it. Are they the problem or is

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: the club of the problem.

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: I think on this situation, when you're a thirty one

33
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 4: year old you've played the amount of footy that he has,

34
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: I think Bateman has to take a bit of responsibility.

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: We all watched how he played at the Raiders. He

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: was arguably one of the best back rolls in the

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: camp and he left to go back to England and

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: when he come back, you would think that he would

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: play to that standard. I don't think if you asked him, honestly,

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: I don't think he's played to his stand. I meant

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: it last night there's a couple of players in the

42
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: weekend for a senior player, which were just ra ordinary

43
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: and let the side that he hasn't been hasn't been

44
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: anywhere near his best.

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: But let's get back to why is he leaving? Has

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: he been pushed here or is he has he asked

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: to leave?

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 5: Now?

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: It makes no sense whatsoever. He said he's got three years,

50
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: three years left. Why would they say, okay, go play

51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: the rest of the season out in Super League and

52
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: he come back next year. He's not going to be

53
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: a better player next year than he is right now.

54
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: So to me, from just the outside looking in, I'm

55
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: thinking they're just they're getting rid of him.

56
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 5: But that's braking. They're going to get rid of him.

57
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: I agree, because rich I went to England deliberately to

58
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: shop around a number of players and John Bateman was

59
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: one of them. But if you get rid of him,

60
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: you get rid of him. There's no point getting rid

61
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: of him in July. His contract's not three years ago

62
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: and he comes back again.

63
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 5: Give themselves time to come up with a solution.

64
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 6: Is it kind of it family? I don't think it is.

65
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: Has he had a blob up with Benji Marshall?

66
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 6: I don't believe so.

67
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 2: But there's obviously an astonishing reason here.

68
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 6: Why would that a play game?

69
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: Do they allow him to go back to England to

70
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: see playing under Sam at worry and if he can

71
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: find some form again which may make him more attractive

72
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: to rival if he wanted to come back.

73
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 6: What's the second tike?

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: You can find form there, but it's deceptive.

75
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 6: It's not going to mean you're going to play bettery.

76
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 4: But his stocks might go up, go up over there,

77
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: because what is he on about seven hundred or eight hundred,

78
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: that's a lot of money.

79
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 5: Good.

80
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: His stocks might go up, but they've gone down right now.

81
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: But the fact he's going in July back to England

82
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: is that going to help his future?

83
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 5: It might help him over there.

84
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you guys know the rules

85
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: or not, but he's okay to join now this time

86
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: of the year.

87
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 6: He go back to Super League August.

88
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 5: It's before August one, I.

89
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Think anyway, what about Stefano, you toy I commander. We

90
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: spoke about this last night also his big decision. Apparently

91
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: we're supposedly about to find out soon whether he is

92
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: going to stay or make a decision to sign with

93
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: anyone else. He's got a number of clubs chasing him.

94
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Have we heard anything.

95
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the male I've got today is Melbourne Storm are

96
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: incredibly confident that they will get him. He has told

97
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: Melbourne Storm that he wants to plant a Bellamy. I'm

98
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: sure though he's telling every club he's negotiating with that

99
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: he does.

100
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: Want to go there.

101
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 2: It's a bit misleading, but at the moment, I think

102
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: you'll find one guarantee he will not be conquered next

103
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: to you. And if I was a betting man, I'd

104
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: throw him in the Craig Bellamy system.

105
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 6: For twenty four. People in the.

106
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: Game are saying Melbourne that no one seems to know

107
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: categorically at this stage that the decision hasn't been made.

108
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: Look look at what's happening at the Tigers at the moment.

109
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: Put yourself in Stefano's shoes. Is a young prop with

110
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: great potential. Where do you want to play? You go

111
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: to Melbourne.

112
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 6: It's a bit a mile round.

113
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: Today Boe is that there is a mystery third club

114
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: chasing him outside of Melbourne and the Dolphins, which is

115
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: a Sydney club. So the life amount of work it out.

116
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: They've been a bit light on in the middle. They've

117
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: got a lot of agility players that would make sense.

118
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 5: I believe it would be the.

119
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 6: Bulldogs if I guess, well, they need him.

120
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: Wasn't their talk going around earlier in the season the

121
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: Bulldogs may have interests and then they denied it, which

122
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: again it doesn't feel you that they're not interested now because.

123
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 5: What about the Roosters losing Jared?

124
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: Well, how many front rowers can they have? They've got

125
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: Lindsay Collins, may Spencer ling you, but they've got Jared.

126
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: But when Jared leaves them, there's got to be a

127
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 5: spot there.

128
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: Well, there's other salary issues there too.

129
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: I think they back to forward. Going back to the Tigers,

130
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about how poorly they're going in the hole

131
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: that they're in. If they lose arguably their best player,

132
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: their holes gets deeper.

133
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 6: Right, what is Jerome lewill?

134
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: I think if he walks out a Stefano, I mean,

135
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: just Jerome Lewi, then suddenly think, geez, what have I

136
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: done here?

137
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 5: Does he want to stay?

138
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 6: I'm sure he will.

139
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: But if the key forward that's going to protect Jerome

140
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: Lewi just walks out of the club, surely on the

141
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: screen now is going to think what have I done here?

142
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: Well, then he's got to go to a powerful club.

143
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: And it means that he's not going to get the

144
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 4: same amount of money that he'd get at the Tigers. Right,

145
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: But if he wants to play with the good number nine,

146
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 4: he's got to go to Melbourne because the best number

147
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 4: nine is probably Happy corrousl and Harry Grant and Melbourne's

148
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 4: and Melbourne's spine is unbelievable. The Tiger spine next year

149
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: is going to be great.

150
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: But but but what's the use of having a great sport?

151
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: And if you haven't got the pack around it, that's what's.

152
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: Hold on with with with the great front rowls, he said,

153
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: this is a funny thing. The great front rollers back

154
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: themselves and their.

155
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 6: Job is not there though.

156
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: Good if Stefano goes to Melbourne, the Tiger's are left

157
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 3: without Stefano, They're losing Bateman. I don't know whose problem is.

158
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: Who's going to build the highway for Jerome to play

159
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: off the back off?

160
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: Well, it's got to be him and no matter where

161
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: he goes, this is my point to him.

162
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 6: Who him?

163
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: Stefano, He's got a state if he wants to have

164
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: a career, his his foot is not going to change.

165
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 4: I know front rollers, right, and I'll play with all

166
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: of them, whether you play at the bottom club, whether

167
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: you play at the top club, your job is exactly

168
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: the same. So you said, oh yeah, absolutely, he's not

169
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: worth for money. He's not worth it, hasn't I don't

170
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: think he's earned the stripes to be shopping himself around

171
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: the way we're talking about him every night.

172
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 3: But a club like Melbourne's interested Gordon for a reason

173
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: because he's got potential that like Craig Bellamy and the

174
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: Melbourne Storm look at this guy and think him into

175
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: the world. If he stays at the Tigers, right, if

176
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: he stays at the Tigers, he would have to question

177
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: where his career is going to go because at the moment,

178
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: the Tigers are a club where your career goes to die.

179
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: That's that's what's happened with Bateman, That's what's happened with Papali,

180
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: That's happened with other players in recent times. That's where

181
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: they're at at a club. Now, that's up for Benji

182
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: Marshall to change. But if you're a young Ford and

183
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: you've got an option to stay at the Tigers and

184
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: prove yourself as you say, or go and play for

185
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: Bellamy and win premierships or compete for premierships made. It's

186
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: an easy choice if you can get past the money issue.

187
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: I can't, for the life of me at this point

188
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: think that West Tiger will be competitive in terms of

189
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: winning a premiership for another five six seven years. So

190
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: if you're a young player like Stefano or Lachland Galvin,

191
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: you're looking elsewhere.

192
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 6: Do you really want to stay at.

193
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: A club you know and you think will be down

194
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: the bottom for the next five six seven years?

195
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: So what is Lois go there? What does that because

196
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: dollars a year? What is he on good coin? There

197
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: isn't he good coin?

198
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: He's young though, Galvin young and when you're young, you

199
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: know what it's like. When you're younger, you want to win.

200
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: And if you're on a crap club. Excuse my French.

201
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's coin right because Melbourne offering him

202
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: what eight fifty right, and probably these other clubs are around

203
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: the same. If the Tigers say to myrowk Stefano he's

204
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: a million dollars, I think he still goes What do you.

205
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 6: Think I do too?

206
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: And I think it's a different situation too with Louis.

207
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: As you said, then LEUI has three premierships in the

208
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: bag and this is his opportunity to go and own

209
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: a team away from Nathan, so he has that challenge.

210
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: But with the young guy, it's just I don't know,

211
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: Like if if if you look back in years to

212
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: come on your career, do you remember how much you

213
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: got paid or how successful you were and the legacy

214
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: you leave behind is a footballer?

215
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: You tell me, I get it right, but this is

216
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: my When you think of Melbourne Storm, they've had some

217
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: amazing front.

218
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 5: Rowers, name them more.

219
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 4: Jesse Bromwich, but you remember English, remember slow like you

220
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 4: don't get the record.

221
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: You saw it on the weekend though, mate with and

222
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: Josh King up against the rooster's mate?

223
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 6: What Felamy can get out of that?

224
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 5: Say?

225
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: The long with this conversation, the more my mind's ticking.

226
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: I got to say the Bulldogs they're smoky here. I

227
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: think the Bulldogs are a chance. Let's just leave it

228
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: at that. Meanwhile, the party tigers back round. Isaiah Papa Lee.

229
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: He has opened up on his decision to leave the club.

230
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 7: I think my manager approached the club and we kind

231
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 7: of just asked what the future was for me, and

232
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 7: they put in girls as a definitive answer and I

233
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 7: think both parties were pretty mutual about the decision. It's

234
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 7: pretty distinct that I had to have a year short

235
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 7: off that contract. Then I guess the club has to

236
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 7: make some moves under a new CEO, and Rich has

237
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 7: done that.

238
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 5: For me.

239
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 7: It's been a struggle, had a few different halves playing

240
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 7: outside of them, and just I guess they're just trying

241
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 7: to find the foundation here and slowly building and said

242
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 7: to leave. But also I'm very excited for what the

243
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 7: future holds for this club.

244
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: Still trying to find our foundation here played outside of

245
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: a few different sets of halves.

246
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 5: Jeez, that's a lot of negative. That's a negative chat.

247
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's moving on, but for a

248
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: guy that went there from the paramount of heels in

249
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: great form, I don't know how he's supposed to answer

250
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: the questions that he was just asked.

251
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 4: But they weren't good well as honest as he did,

252
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: I thought they were, honestly.

253
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 5: I don't think there was any venom played with different.

254
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 6: Arms the face of West Tigers.

255
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 4: I wasn't but he was just being honest, of course

256
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: he was.

257
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 6: But still a slap in the face.

258
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: It's a slap in the face for Popo Leihi that

259
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: he goes from the Warriors to Paramatta where they made

260
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: his career. They made him a player that other clubs

261
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: wanted to sign for seven eight hundred thousand dollars a

262
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 3: season and then what is it, a year and a

263
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: half later, he's being shown the door because apparently he's

264
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: not aiming up yet. Has the club aimed up on

265
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: its end of the bargain, Because is what I'm.

266
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: Saying, you're making it personal about his choices. He's talking

267
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: about the club and he's choices.

268
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 6: What are you talking about there?

269
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: The club told him, he just said that that the

270
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 3: club said you're going and so he was left with

271
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: no choice.

272
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 6: Like, I just don't I don't get it.

273
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't like the club has to take responsibility for

274
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: this because again they take these players in, they sign

275
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: him to big money, long term contracts, and we saw

276
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: it with Sullivan earlier in the year, and there's been

277
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: other player is along the way that they sort of

278
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: go there full of promises, doesn't work out. Suddenly they're

279
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: the problem, not the club.

280
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Is it odd that the Tigers don't wanting but the

281
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: Panthers do.

282
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 6: I mean, it is the best question you'll hear all day.

283
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 6: I know, how do you answer it?

284
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 5: I know? But he just won a lot of money.

285
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: He won power right the run off Nathan Cleary and

286
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: then that team and they go forward that they have

287
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 4: and no matter who plays in the Penwouth Jersey and

288
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 4: their assist.

289
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 6: They went through to the Grand Final. He was unbelievable.

290
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: He'd want to be a West Tiger's fan at the moment.

291
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: Honestly, I feel sorry for them, I really do.

292
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: They've put up with this mediocrity for years, and credit

293
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: comes back to Richo's credit.

294
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 6: He is trying. He is trying for a cleanout. Is

295
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 6: it working?

296
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 5: Probably not?

297
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 6: Is it long term?

298
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: Let's hope he's got to clean it out, that's for sure.

299
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: Now I see him walk out yet to resign at

300
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,119
Speaker 1: the Roosters.

301
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 5: What's the hold up?

302
00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 6: Again?

303
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: We if we have addressed this quite a bit on

304
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: our three to sixty over the past couple of months,

305
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: and the closer we get to the deadline, the more

306
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: we tend to think, why why hasn't he hasn't he resigned?

307
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: If he's happy, he's getting offered a good contract. They

308
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: are Premiership contenders.

309
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 6: Why I get the feeling that.

310
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: The Roosters are rods on to keep him, but I

311
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: think there's probably more probability that he'll end up going

312
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: to market and see what's out there. And I say

313
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 3: that because if you put yourself in Sam Walker's shoes,

314
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: who's a twenty two year old potentially Queensland's next half back,

315
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: and you're off contract at the end of next year,

316
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: at a time where Daily Cherry Evans is off contract,

317
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: Ben Hunt is off contract, Adam Reynolds is off contract,

318
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: Jackson Hastings is off contract, there's a scope there where

319
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: the next playmaker has the potential to earn serious money,

320
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: and the Roosters at this point in time would probably

321
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: look at Sam and think, well, where you're right at

322
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: the moment.

323
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 6: You're worth so and so.

324
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: But as we saw with Jerome Luai and the Tigers

325
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: that these these top playmakers are on one point two

326
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: one point three million dollars and the wages aren't going

327
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: down over the next four years.

328
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 6: Where Sam's signs next.

329
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: It's a business decision, right, So he's leveraging his position

330
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: where he is and he's in a position of strength,

331
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: is one of the best halves in the competition, so

332
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: pretty much he's saying, I'm going to market and chalks.

333
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: You've got to pay more. It's as simple as that.

334
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: So but will the roosters pay more?

335
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 5: This is the thing.

336
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 8: That's why they've got Chad Townsend. That's their insurance. He

337
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 8: won't go to market.

338
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right here, right now, he will not

339
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: go to market. The roosters will get this done before

340
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: November one, but they'll have to pay more, right, I

341
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: have to pay more. They know that he's told them

342
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: he wants to stay. Of course the roosters are said,

343
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: we want you to stay. Talks has begun. It's now

344
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: just a matter of nailing down the money and the terms.

345
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: It will be done. If he will not go to market.

346
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 6: You can look guarantee. If you look at that, If

347
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 6: you look at.

348
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: That, we're just just in case, because you know that

349
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: we like bringing up old clips on this shark.

350
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 5: Well, November, I'm out of here.

351
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 6: If you get it wrong, you got to get exposed.

352
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 5: He won't go to market. He won't go to market.

353
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 6: You think.

354
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: You think he's a little bit unproven, though, do your dog?

355
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 5: Do you know I didn't say that.

356
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 6: He didn't.

357
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: You think you think you'll get the job done and

358
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: get to a premiership and he's a premiership half.

359
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: And you need the premiership half. What's he worth genuinely

360
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: right now in that side. I don't think he's a

361
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: million dollar player. I think he'd be eight fifty nine

362
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: hundred with obviously incrementally increases every year.

363
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: You're talking the end of next year they make and

364
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: what happened in Origin through you don't know what the

365
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: plans are for Queensland next year. He's also got you know,

366
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: we saw what happened with the Roosters on the weekend,

367
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: but he's got the potential to prove himself at the

368
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: end of this year.

369
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 6: Why would he want to go anywhere?

370
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 5: That's the question.

371
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 6: Why would some of.

372
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 3: Them other clubs that I spoke about, then they're not

373
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: hopeless clubs.

374
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 6: There's some good clubs there and there is opportunity to.

375
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: Be some powerful clubs with some money.

376
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: It was twenty two too, you think back to with

377
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: the great halfbacks like Cooper Cronk. I don't think he

378
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: got settled in the Queensland side until he was twenty nine.

379
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: Jonathan played his best football later in his career. You're

380
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: seeing with Cherry Evans and other players at the moment, the.

381
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 6: Longer you have in the game. I actually think the.

382
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: Kid is worth well over a million dollars for his contract,

383
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: for his next contract.

384
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: At the end, I agree to the only place I

385
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: can see in going is Brisbane because I think why

386
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't Brisbane make it play to him? He's a Queenslander,

387
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: is a potential Queensland halfback, like you mentioned, could be

388
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: the next in line. Reynolds is playing great when he's

389
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: on the field, but he's only got what a year

390
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: or two maximum left in him. He could be the

391
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: predecessor to Reynolds. He could be the next in line.

392
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Issue there though, is that you're already You've.

393
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: Got Rehys Walsh, who's you know, your marquee player. Ezra

394
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: Man's up there too. You've got Carrigan and Hahs and

395
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: them sort of guys that chure up big chunks of

396
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: the salary cap. The question would be if the Broncos

397
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 3: have got that much money because Reynolds at the moment,

398
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: what's he a thousand dollars playmaker?

399
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: But like sometimes when you play with the real good players,

400
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: you do take less, which you would do with the

401
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: roosters too.

402
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, keep an eye on this one. Something to

403
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: take a look at the big inns and o's around

404
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: twenty one, all thanks to the tab two of us

405
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: and Shek moves the fullback for the Warriors. Chorus, how

406
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: returns after that calf injury for the Tigers, Arsi named fullback.

407
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: Tar Langy remains in the centers for Paramatta.

408
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 5: The big One Cameron.

409
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: Munster named on the reserves after that round eleven injury

410
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: to Lui Yo and Martin for the Panthers to return

411
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: to their starting team. But it's all about the return

412
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: of this man, Cameron Monster. Will he play or won't

413
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: he that's for.

414
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 5: You to answer. I know, I mean on the reserves.

415
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: It's a little bit if in terms of whether he

416
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: will or I assume he will.

417
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: I reckon It'll be a bit like Adam Reynolds. I

418
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 4: spoke to him at the State of Origin in Melbourne,

419
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: just briefly. We're doing a gig together, and he said

420
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: he was going to be backing roughly three weeks give

421
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 4: or taken. It's about three weeks, so you think that

422
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 4: he'd be right. He was up and running.

423
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 5: So the Storm.

424
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: Players after the game the other day, we're talking pretty

425
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 3: confidently about the fact.

426
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 6: That joking that he's going.

427
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: It's a pretty big inn, isn't it for the Storm

428
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 3: who are four points clear at the top of the ladder.

429
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: I know he was close even last week, so but

430
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: it's one of those injuries where they've been monitoring, so

431
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: he was a chance against the Roosters. I know that

432
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: he was aiming to play this week, but I don't

433
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: think it's a certain team. But if I had to guess,

434
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: I'd say that he is playing.

435
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 6: So but look at the Storm.

436
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: They're four points ahead of Penrith at the top and

437
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: they've got arguably their best player to returns.

438
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 3: Isn't it an interesting and and they've got coach to

439
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: return and Nelson Welsh. But you look at the way

440
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: that Tyron Wishart has filled in for Munster and he's

441
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 3: really held his hands up, hasn't he. And then you've

442
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: got a guy like Faleo go on the bench. They've

443
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 3: just got all this.

444
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah found this year is it's the young guys and

445
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: their new players that have been the core of the team,

446
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 2: like Wisharp, Will Warbrick, Josh King in the middle age

447
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: and Harry Grant's form has been okay. Pappenhaus has been

448
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: in and out through injury. Cameron's missed most of the

449
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: year through injury. It's been the depth that's winning them

450
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: the game.

451
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 6: Cappenhausen was really good against the Roosters.

452
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: He was they all step up. It just happens every

453
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: week every year. Now he's Bradman Best gone for the season.

454
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: Not good for the Newcastle And has that been confirmed?

455
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 6: He apparently he's gone for the season. Yeah.

456
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: He pulled up saw the other day early and the

457
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: game was taken off the field. He had that hamstring

458
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 3: injury going into game three, he'd been out. It sounds

459
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: like he's gone. She's a lives Newcastle in a bad spot, doesn't.

460
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that the male was it was going to

461
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: be a full week injury for his hamstring, given him

462
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: the history of hamstring problems. They decided that they would

463
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: probably rest him for the year. So they're still in

464
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: finals contention. So well, what do I hate to say,

465
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: But it sounds that way, doesn't it.

466
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Well, it would be with the quality of players we've

467
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: covered the last couple of nights.

468
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 5: It sounds like a mess there. What's what's what?

469
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 6: Everyone's playing? The blame because.

470
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: Last night hoops were saying they're tapping players, which is

471
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: I suppose it happens, but they're seem to be tapping

472
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: them all at once. Then you've got your best one

473
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: of your best players with a hamstring injury got through

474
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: Origin and they said, listen, just rest sit the season now.

475
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 5: But you're still in contention.

476
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: But you're actually ruling yourself out for the rest of

477
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: the year if you, you know, with the decisions they're

478
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: making a funny.

479
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: Thing that but Buzz said last night, didn't he that

480
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: there's a bit of male that some of the players maybe,

481
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 3: you know, not real happy with Adam O'Brien. But but

482
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 3: if I was Adam a brian, I wouldn't be real

483
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: happy with the club because what was it, two three

484
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 3: weeks ago, there's this talk emergers that players are getting

485
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: tapped on the shoulder. At that point, the Knights are

486
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: not looking certainties for the final, but they're going pretty

487
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: good in.

488
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 6: Their last two weeks. What they've lost to Manly and

489
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 6: then again on the.

490
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: Weekend, it's all like it's come at the worst possible time.

491
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you leave that when your team's in contention

492
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 3: until the end of.

493
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: The season, sabotage the self, sabotaging themselves.

494
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 6: What you say is spot on.

495
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: I can tell you that Adam O'Brien is frustrated at

496
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: how it's unfolded up there this year.

497
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 6: Everyone's blaming each other a bit.

498
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 5: Is his job safe?

499
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 6: His job safe? Now?

500
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: I don't think the players are necessarily off Adam O'Brien,

501
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: but at the moment they've lost two from seven on

502
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 2: the shoulder would be off. Teammates are dirty that they've

503
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: been tapped, But are.

504
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 3: They dirty at the coach or are they dirty at

505
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: the way that it's being handled and the way the

506
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: club's doing. You've got several masters up there, haven't you.

507
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 3: Like You've got Philip Gardner at the top of the tree.

508
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: You've got Peter Parr, who was brought in as a

509
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: supposed Phil Gould of the club, who was going to

510
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: be the overall general manager and bring bring some unity

511
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: to this club and take it in a full direction.

512
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: I can't see that at the moment they've Adam O'Brien's

513
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: just had had the rug pooled from under him. All

514
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: these players, you know that they'd signed in good faith

515
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: and they're being moved on on top of that, in

516
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 3: recent times you've had players who did they buy? They

517
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: bought Jenkins playing reserve grade. Coggle was brought as a backup,

518
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: but same deal Hastings was brought. Like there hasn't been

519
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 3: got any smart decisions.

520
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 5: Watson le albar.

521
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: On The Weekend, Dom Young Green Anderson.

522
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: Daniel Siafette's very popular too. Boys don't underestimate that in

523
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: his eminent departure.

524
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 6: Is a reason why there's who's the boss? Is the boss?

525
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: And that's the other issue here too, Like if there

526
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 3: is any truth to the talk that the players.

527
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 6: Are off him, well, mate O'Brien was offered what was it?

528
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 6: A three year? He's got three more year to go

529
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 6: with a water tight contract.

530
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 5: Can I ask an I have question? Does Gardener have

531
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: any footy iq?

532
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 6: I don't think so. He runs a club, He runs

533
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 6: business clubs, the West Group all right?

534
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 5: Anyway?

535
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: Jonah is on Origin series win and the Murray incident.

536
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: We haven't had a chance to really talk about this

537
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: with you too. It was a great win by a

538
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: New South Wales. A lot of talk about the Murray incident.

539
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: A lot of talk about the Murray incident from up north.

540
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: What do we think about all this? Personally, I had

541
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: no problem with it.

542
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: The irony was that Cam Murray didn't actually run across

543
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: the line to get involved.

544
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: They came to him.

545
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 2: He's sitting on the bench essentially and this Melle comes

546
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: toward him.

547
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 6: What is he supposed to do?

548
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 5: Was he sitting on the Queensland bench.

549
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 6: It's on the sideline, Gordy. He's right there is there

550
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 6: is there.

551
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: This is the very moment that Michael McGuire works six

552
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: months to get his blues toward running in and protecting

553
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: your own because we've been bullied and pushed around, you

554
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: guys up North Gordy for years now, and that right

555
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 2: there is a defining moment.

556
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 5: I get that, and you make some valid points.

557
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 6: Thank you. Good come Embery one now.

558
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: In Canbra on the weekend. It happened at junior level

559
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: it did, yes, but they.

560
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 6: Can't be.

561
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 5: The players. Yeah, players are running.

562
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 6: It's all on the side mate.

563
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: I heard what you said last week Gordon, and you're

564
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: one hundred percent right. The only thing can I just

565
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: have one point not run in one point one point?

566
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 3: What I thought was unfolded. Queensland is coming from everywhere.

567
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 3: Two New South Wales Blakes were stuck in the middle

568
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: of it. I admire Cameron Murray for doing what he

569
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: did because I'll tell you what, Gordon, if you were

570
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 3: sitting on that bench, I know what you would have done.

571
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: You would have jumped off your bum and you would

572
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 3: have been the first bloke over there. I don't care

573
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 3: if he gets suspended for one week, two weeks, ten weeks.

574
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: You know what, what he did was the right thing

575
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: for a man to do in that situation.

576
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: This is the thing right And I can't cop this

577
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: for a second. It's the hypocrisy of Queensland. We've had

578
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: Gordon Talas, we had Corey Parker, we had Cameron Smith,

579
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: all coming out to deflecting the result on this incident.

580
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and keep a straight face and

581
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: think that Gordon Talas, Corey Parker or Kmeron Smith is

582
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: not running and doing exactly one in the crowd would

583
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: have said, that's what we do, this is how we

584
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: do it.

585
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 6: That's what that's exactly what we don't understand. Origin broke.

586
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 6: We don't get it.

587
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: You see listen, I get it, and my record's not clean,

588
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 4: but I've never sat on the bench and I've been

589
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 4: on the bench when there's been fights.

590
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 5: I've never so I've done a lot of things right.

591
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 8: So the ben ross the referee, if you wouldn't have

592
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 8: joined that Melone.

593
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: I think from a junior league point of view, it

594
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 3: was a terrible look. And it does scare you that

595
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: this does filter ound it does. You know it does,

596
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: and I know it. But in that instant, right from

597
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 3: kemeron Murray's perspective, I wouldn't have cared if they hit

598
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: him with a ten week suspension. I still think what

599
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: he did in that incident was the right way to do.

600
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 5: Queens are blaming the players, right. I never said, I

601
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 5: just said follow.

602
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 4: I just said, like the little slap on the wrist,

603
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 4: if the game comes down harder, it might be a

604
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: bit more of the rue. I had no problem what

605
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 4: to plays it and I never blamed the players, right,

606
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 4: But the game needed.

607
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 6: Say another thing too, just quickly.

608
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 3: That was always going to happen after what was after

609
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: the different interpretations we saw in games one and two.

610
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 3: Climb made a rod for his own back in that game.

611
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: It was always going to blow up. So because because

612
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 3: go back and look at the way ways the two

613
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: games were interpreted from Game one to Game two and

614
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: the tactics that were using, I'm not bagging them from

615
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 3: New South Wales. They went out there to win the

616
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 3: series and they got the job done. But Queensland were

617
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: always going to fire back if there was something erupt

618
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 3: in that game.

619
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: It was on tactically, you're right, but that didn't cause

620
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 2: the blue.

621
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: It did because I thought his half back was in

622
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: trouble and he came to help, and they came from everywhere.

623
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: I thought that I was actually instigated anyway, Crawls, what's

624
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: your beef of the week For this.

625
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: Week, beef of the week is how, once again we

626
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: had another game defined by the fact we have rules

627
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: for eight or seventy five minutes of a game. You

628
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 3: get down to the last five minutes and suddenly they

629
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: put the whistles away and they refused to make the

630
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: tough course. We saw the Max Plath trip on Nathan

631
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 3: Cleary that wasn't penalized late in the game, but this

632
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: one wasn't.

633
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 6: Picked up the other one where it's coming here.

634
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that was the trip and in that instance

635
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: you can forgive the referee because he said he didn't suit.

636
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: The Dolphins had made a breakdown one side of the field.

637
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 3: They got tackled on the ten meter line. In a moment,

638
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: we'll go back and have a look at this. The

639
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 3: entire Penrith defensive defensive lines running back clear. He's on

640
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: the outside here. He gets about two meters short of

641
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: the lone, aren't turns around, hasn't made the ten turns around,

642
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 3: comes in, makes the tackle on farm Worth. It's not

643
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: only offside, but it's high saves, a try, nothing, nothing.

644
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: They're sitting there watching it.

645
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 6: Nothing.

646
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 5: Very good point.

647
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 4: You make points, man, I'm going to get you a

648
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 4: job in the bunker. Thanks because I called that game

649
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 4: and I didn't even.

650
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 3: But they're sitting there watching that right and the touch

651
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 3: judges there, the bunker's there. They've called six agains all

652
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 3: day from being off side games on the line.

653
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 5: I've becoming mark.

654
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: But one moment in a great game, can you justify

655
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: what what you talking about?

656
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: What we're trying to make rugby league the perfect game

657
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: where every decision stadium.

658
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 4: And don't walk in the Penrith hat when the Dolphins

659
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 4: are it's human error.

660
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 6: It's happened since nine hundred and eight.

661
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: I get as upset as referee decisions as anybody, but

662
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: we're never going to get a perfect system. Making light

663
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: of a serious situation saying we could do this every

664
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: single week, pin Unfortunately, we almost can do it every

665
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: single week because it continues to happen.

666
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 6: We had the same incidents a few.

667
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: Weeks ago in the Warriors game where the Warriors were

668
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: robbed against Was it the Bulldogs?

669
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 6: Yes, Josh Curran, was it yes?

670
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 5: Or someone got taken out?

671
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

672
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: Someone was yeah to Murray Martin was taken out and

673
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: it should have been a penalty and the NRAL lady

674
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: came out and concerned it. Dog the touch judge standing there, mate.

675
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: The first thing he does when all the players are

676
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: running back on side is make sure they're on side.

677
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 6: The bunker watches it.

678
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: They give away contentious six against all game, yet in

679
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: this instance make that that's a professional foul.

680
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 6: That's a sin bit. I'm with you all right, he's

Speaker 9: they're going to be more double headers, sixteen double headers

688

696
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,040

Speaker 1: The women's game just gets bigger and better every single year.

698
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 5: Just the skill level, it.

699
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: Really has come on leaps and bounds these girls and

700
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: now and they've become professional athletes.

701
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 5: The ratings have gone through the roof. They are are

702
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 5: professional athletes.

703
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: You've watched the State of Origin the way it was

704
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: played before they have started their season, so how much

705
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: they've worked hard. Let's hope the Titans they went in

706
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: the Grand Final last year, Let's hope they can go

707
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 4: one better. But the standard of football since it's coming

708
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: has had a standard.

709
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: It's gone said that, the skill level, the toughness, it's

710
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: it's quite InCred But what I love more than anything

711
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: is the impact that this is having on the grassroots too,

712
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: because when you go to country football games or the

713
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: junior footy at the moment, the girls game's really taken

714
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 3: off and it's it's now become you know, it's it's

715
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: all in one and it's it's just great for the game.
