WEBVTT - Tigers Roar, Eels Slide as Origin Heats Up 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:11.080 Hello, Welcome to the Daily Telegraph Funeral podcast on Brent 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.400 Read as usual, joined Potechnical two, Pam Wyley. How are 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:24.319 we good? Weekend footy? There was some shocking games. That's 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:28.680 our manly game. We're not going to talk about that game. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.280 It was diabolical. The weather was diabolical too, so I think. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:33.920 What were you saying to me before? 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:34.120 Though? 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.199 Gives the kids a chance to play, because let's. 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.760 Enjoy this time of year because you're going to see 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.919 some guys you never see and some guys come out 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:45.280 of the woodwork with that he. 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.519 Was guy you never saw, came out of the woodwork. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:57.280 Okaywork. What about some of those Tiers kids, let's start there, 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.520 some of those Tiers kids on on Sunday. I mean, 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:05.400 I was that side for that game. Camberwod terrible, just terrible. 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.960 The toys were really good, they were really good. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.800 And not to take anything away from the Tigers, but 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.520 the Raiders were bad. They were just off. You're completely 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:20.360 my Raiders. So disappointing. But yeah, the Tigers. Another another kid, 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.480 well more kids from the Howard Matts team that won 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.560 a couple of years ago, has now debuted, you know, 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.160 alongside like Gaalvin, Heath, Mason tallon the Silver. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:36.080 And Luke kids. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.000 I don't know if Kit was in the Howard Matt's 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.920 team though, And I guess the pleasing thing about it 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:47.680 is Gallan is back and playing some good football and 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:54.080 has committed he backs himself and why weren't you. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:59.240 Was just unmarred by the discussion of. 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.160 Harded him and brought him down. Yet. Yeah, it's it's 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:05.120 really cool to see. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.320 What I thought, I think was really cool about him though, 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.480 is all of this talk that's been happening about his 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.200 contract and things like that, and then he just kind 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.200 of comes out and does that and he's a teenager 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.240 just to be able to absorb all that, yeah, and 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.560 still perform, I think that's pretty incredible. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.800 Was not expecting this though. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:28.079 As in this performance, well, camera were really bad, but 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.400 they's just started so well with Tigers, and Galvin was 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.919 at the heart of that. I think he was. You know, 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.000 I said they played the real confidence, they threw the 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.640 ball around a bit, that it was quite an entertaining game. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.280 It was, it was, But you know who has been 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:43.720 stood up in the last couple of weeks. 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.320 The Tigers their four pack. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.040 You know, like like with Galvin, there was there's talk 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.720 about Stefano to a commander his future Samuel Faye, who 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.040 is in some sort of you know, Stefano sort of 0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.360 stepped up a little bit. I wonder if yeh dol 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.440 his back. So, yeah, there are what do you call 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:04.519 them reading green. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:10.440 Shoots green shoots. He's definitely What about the Galvin decision 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.480 to stay at the Foota club. Look what he said 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.200 is he will honor his contract. He's got two years 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.120 left in his contract, but basically it's given the Tigers 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.280 twelve months. There's no extension off from the table for him. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.840 Tigers have bought themselves twelve months to convince him to 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.280 stay because on November one next year he can go 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.120 to market. And they basically brought themselves to November one 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.520 next year to show him that they're heading in the 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.040 right direction. They could make him a better football player. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.520 But it was huge to keep him right, to convince 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:37.520 him to stay right. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:37.840 Of course. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.920 Yeah, I mean that we talked about it probably a 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:41.600 couple of weeks ago. 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.440 I think, wasn't it when this. 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.200 First popped up, and I said, you know, if you're 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.960 not happy, it's hard to kind of convince someone to 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.280 stay or to play for you if they're not happy, 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.960 and he seems to have totally had to change of 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.440 heart depending on whatever they've said the But it makes 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.440 sense that he hang around though, right because there is 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:03.560 change coming next year. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:04.920 You've got Jerome Lwai coming in. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:09.040 Things are potentially hopefully going to be different, So to 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.880 cut and run now would be premature. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:17.320 Do you think he is deeply unhappy being there? 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.120 Or is it more the fact that he came into 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.600 the side at a time where you know they'd lost 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.080 what ten in or row or whatever it is. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:24.880 Do you know what I mean? 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.760 Do you think he because I did that story with him. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.960 I think it was in April where I asked him 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.599 about that, like do you want to be here? Do 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.919 you want to build an NROL team around these the 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.440 Harold Matt's team that came that you came through with. 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:42.279 And he is so fresh and so green that I 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.440 don't think he liked to me when he said, yeah, 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.760 I want to be here and we want to build 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.760 a team together and sort of do what Penrith had 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.240 done with our sort of pathways. So I don't know 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.599 whether he's genuinely and the way he spoke about Benji 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.240 and the influence that Benji's had on his game, the 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.360 confidence that Benji's shown on him shown. I don't think 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.440 he doesn't want to be there. I just think he's 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.640 experiencing the roller coaster of being in an NRL side 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.440 that isn't performing where he'd probably want them to be. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.760 I think he wanted to leave. I think a lot 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.000 of people pointing the finger of his age, and this 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.080 is I know Isaac. I get on well with him. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.080 I think it was really unfair on him, actually, because 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:26.280 I think an agent's job is to represent his client 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.200 and do it his client wanted, and his client, his 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.479 client's parents didn't want him at the football club, and 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.599 Isaac's job is therefore to press the issue and try 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.760 and get change if he can get it, you know. 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.279 So I think he wasn't happy. I think he genuinely 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.320 wanted to leave, and I think his family thought the 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.039 best thing for him was to leave. But as he 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.800 sat down with Benji, he sat down with rich Oh 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.680 and they've convinced him at least on the deal. I 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.559 think a really tough time for him because I think 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.760 it's probably the first time his life, you know, he's 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:04.920 been a winner all his life and he's probably been 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.760 a bit of a favorite at that footy club. But 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.880 actually I think people turn on him a little bit. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.120 It's a really tough time for him. So for an 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:12.560 eight year old to go through that and they come 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.240 out play the way he did, it's pretty impressive people 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.080 turn on I think fans turned on him a little 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.919 bit lot. I think he had some bad interactions with 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.680 some supporters over it and on social media, and you know, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.680 then come out and play like he did. Yeah, I 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.800 think it speaks volumes for who he is as a 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:30.400 as a person. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.159 Just fans just having a go at it. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.760 Of course. I mean, you know when when they think, 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.239 when they think you're not committed to the footy club, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.880 Tiger's fan is pretty passionate. They've been through a tough 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.920 time and they see an eighteen year old kid who 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.839 they've who's and let's stress he is not a Tiger's kid. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.520 He's a Paramattic kid. Yes, his family of Paramatta fans. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.000 He's not as he's played. I think he swapped in 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.080 his fifteen or something. Maybe I think it was he 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.840 grew up a Paramatic fan the whole time. I wanted 0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.680 to play for Paramatta, but the Tigers see him as 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.440 one of their juniors. So then see one of your 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.720 juniors turn around and agitate to leave the footy club. 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.960 I can understand them getting a little annoyed with that, 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:10.920 and maybe some of them I. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.720 Can understand that. I just hate when they like, this 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.520 is a kid, right and he's eighteen. Yeah, I think 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.440 it's fair enough and not even really, but it's fair 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.320 enough to cop to, you know, some of those senior 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.600 players in the team, to cop the criticism. You're on 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.600 big money, you are experienced, you know what is required. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.440 You have been a professional for ten years. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.560 You know. Blood the eighteen year old kid. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.280 Yeah, I think the thing that when you were talking 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.560 about how people turn on him so quickly and he's 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.400 only so young, he's only in his rookie season. It 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.280 sort of has shades of Loopbooks about it. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:43.280 Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.200 He's very wary of what books he was. 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.520 Exactly, And so that's fair enough to think, Oh, I 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.080 don't want to be at a club where I'm going 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.280 to be sort of the hope or the key guy 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.960 in the harms and then be the whipping boy for 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.400 the next ten years of my career. So that's something 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.880 he does definitely have to think about. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.600 I mean, Jerome coming in next year is going to 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.000 take a lot of heat off him. That's the biggest 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.440 thing they've gotten their favor aside from you know, obviously 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.080 a relationship with Benji. I think Jerome who was the 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.119 biggest thing for them in terms of the Lachland Galvin, 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.800 because if Jerome can come and take him under his 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.520 wing and teach him how to win, and teach that 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.920 footy club how to win, that'll go a long way 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.600 to convince the Lock and Galvin stay. And then you 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.000 see all those kids coming through that have come that 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.840 he's played tun and footy with. It's can be hard 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.160 to if they start to turn the corner, it's really 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.160 hard to drag himself away from that group of kids 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.079 as well. And it's the same like obviously the other show. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.040 I've got Stefano and I think we'll have some sort 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.680 of clarity around Stefano this week. I think there'll be 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.679 some talks this week around Stefano and that footy club. 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.680 He was really good again yesterday. He's not off contract 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.120 at the end of the year yet, but he probably 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:51.240 will be in a matter. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.280 Of that clause kicked in yet not, so they have 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.640 to be mathematically out of the. 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.720 Yes, so how far that at the moment? 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:03.560 Remind me of this table, so second last on one 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:04.240 points and. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.319 How many wins are they for wins? How many wins 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.400 is the eighth fo team eight eight? So the four wins, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.800 So you can mathematically sit and work it out. But 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.960 he's probably another month away from being a free agent. Okay, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.640 so this I think. I think their plans are to 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.480 chatter in this week about it and try it because 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.120 there's a big offer on the table for him five 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:24.800 years for men. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.199 Do you think he's leaving. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.240 I don't think he'll take the offer. I think he'll 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.440 go to market and see what's out there for him. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.800 And my gut feeling is the Tigers if they can't 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.320 get him to agree this week or say to him, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.080 let's not wait four weeks, let's go out and see 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.120 what's out there for you now. And you know which 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.920 I think is a smart thing to do. I think 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.120 it's because it because by not allowing him to do that, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.319 it doesn't allow you You've got to wait then as well, 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:53.680 because you don't know where they're going to do. Money 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.760 to stand it allows him to actually go in the 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.880 marketplace and never look around as well. At the same time, 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.560 and they could say to him, Luk Stefano, mate, you 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.120 can you can go and have a look around if 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:04.920 you decide you want to stay. If you come back 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.200 to us in three weeks, there's no guarantee that money 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:08.599 will still be there, because we might have gone and 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:09.720 signed someone in the meantime. 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.480 The thing is is, well, depending on what they want 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.719 to sign, and it's probably say they miss out and 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.600 Stafin he doesn't want to stay there. It's a forward. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.800 There probably isn't another forward on the market. Oste Fino's 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.720 color buss just trying to think who is the only 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.000 sort of risk depending on what they want to put in, 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:25.560 I mean, where they want to put that money and 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:26.760 redirect that. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.400 Actually, just got to hope that as we have every year, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.960 there's always someone somewhere who's been unsettled or you know, 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.000 you could throw big money at him and you never 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.040 know what happens. But the good news that the other 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.520 good news that was that on dew we yeah, four 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.000 hundred and thirty nine days. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.120 Apparently such a long time. Yeah, because it actually look faster. 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.160 Well, he Yeah, he was able to outpace weeks, so 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.640 that that's something, and the fact that you know what 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:59.120 a way to sort of test out your thirdnee reconstruction, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.840 you know, like an eighty meter in a sept try so, 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:04.880 and it was good to see. And also the way 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.080 he just combined seemed to combine them on their side 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.520 so seamlessly. With Lachlan Govern as well. They seem to 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.480 have like a good connection and that is really when 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.960 you think about how many halves they have at that 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.160 club at the moment, Like you said, with Lui coming in, 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.720 you probably think a spot in the in the centers 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.200 is probably the way to go for him. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:24.720 Yeah. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.000 He would have just been flogging himself this whole time 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.160 though as well, wouldn't he Just like when you're in rehab, 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.719 he's just doing so much aerobic stuff, just cardio, cardio, cardio. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.520 Well, Benji was saying, he's been hassling for about three weeks. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.800 You've got to play pay and he played obviously news 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.480 to the last Cup last week. Now I think he 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.840 played seventy minutes to play the whole game and then 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.400 obviously Justin Nolan got realed out and Benji said, mate, 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.480 you're playing then he said, I run him on Saturday 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.520 night just to make sure because he was actually worried 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.800 that he wasn't doing the right thing by Adam and said, mate, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.560 I'm ready to go. Yeah, and he you know, he'll 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.959 be great for them because he'll help Galvin, Neil help, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.920 He'll take some press sure of Caesar and yeah, you 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:06.040 know if you got the young guys like Lala Lee, Yeah, 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.320 having experienced go like him in your back line. And 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.880 he's a good center. He's a really good center. Yeah, 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:13.520 there's some positive signs. 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.920 There are some, like I said, Green shoots. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:20.200 Them as opposed to the Warriors, there weren't many positive 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.480 signs out of them on the weekend. What is doing 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:24.840 that was horrific. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:25.800 It was so bad. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.240 What's gone on there? 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.480 There's look Joy mean to go through some of these 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:32.880 starts here. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:37.800 Yeah, with the Fox Sports Lab twelve errors, forty six 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.320 missed tackles, they had a sixty. 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.600 Nine percent completion rate and just one line break. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.480 I think thirty of those forty six missed tackles. Was 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.480 it was like in the first half, obviously that's a 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:55.760 team that didn't come ready for you know, the physicality. 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:57.040 Of an NRL game. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.560 Or even just with the right attitude, and it was 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:06.400 just it's strange because they this looks, this looks more 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.439 like the Warriors teams of the past, a sort of 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.640 Jeckle and Hyde as opposed to the Warriors team of 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.120 twenty twenty three that were tough, that were gritty, were 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.440 effort based, and then on the back of all that, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.640 you know, you got to see their strike weapons in attack, 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.000 but just wasn't there, Like even to Murray Marden, who'd 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.160 been in some good form over the last couple of weeks, 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.680 was just you know, a shadow of himself. Sean Johnson's 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.400 sort of been, you know, not that great anonymous. Yeah 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.600 he has, he has, but in his defense, he has 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.559 been managing a painful achilles injury just about all year 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.000 and then he had a break and then he's come 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.000 back and again not himself. But I think the most 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.720 disappointing thing is just on the back of the support 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.280 that they've got at the moment that, you know, that 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.760 wave of support, that ground swill of support for them 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.520 to be dishing up something like that. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:56.040 It was a. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:59.280 Terrible sorry about that that. 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:00.920 Yeah that was just hard tackle. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:05.160 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean that yeah. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.680 But these things happen, doesn't it. Like with the Warrior. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.880 I think with the Warriors especially, like when they're just 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.640 down on their luck, things just snowball. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.480 And it just gets worse and worse and worse. Yeah. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.079 Yeah, this is just like a commitment in defense though 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:18.520 as well. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:19.440 And the. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.320 M Yeah, I don't know. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.280 I just thought maybe even with Roger Roger back and 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:28.760 yeah absolutely. 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.560 But the thing is they're thirteenth now and they've got it's. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.520 Like no one's even We're watching some of these footage 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.320 now and just no one's even. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.520 Such a good player, yeah, such a good player. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.920 Yeah. Yeah, they're thirteenth now. Games against Brisbane and Canbrey 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.480 coming up. Those two games, considering how they played here, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.800 are going to be tough for them, and you know, 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.760 their finals hopes are hanging by thread now and again 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.120 considering what they're trying to do over in New Zealand, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.760 that is true really disappointing that they can't back up 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.120 twenty twenty three with the finals appearance this year. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.440 But yeah, on the Titans, has La just quickly on 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.800 the worst. I wonder whether Fania Blake's become a distraction 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.120 for them because obviously he's leaving the end of the year, 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.760 and Adams the sort of guy who can be difficult 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.520 when I think things aren't going He's going his way, 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:20.080 and he's. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.680 Obviously his agitating friend. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.800 And I don't know that he's agitating for an earlier release, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.560 but I consider giving him one just to remove the distraction. 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.040 I don't think they will. I don't think Carnella well, 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.040 actually Cronella could do with him, couldn't they At the moment. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.200 I don't know whether Carnella's got the cash to fit 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.760 him in, but if on Cronella, I'd be they've got 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.440 to a June thirty. What's the day today? 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:39.680 It is a twenty four. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.760 I'd be asking the question the next six days of 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.000 the worries. Can I get a Can we get Adam 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.640 Fanil Blake if they can find the cash somewhere, because 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.280 you've only got a payin for July or septemb October 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.640 four months now. He's on huge money, He's on about 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.200 a million bucks. You've got to find two hundred and 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.280 fifty grand in a cellary cap. I don't know whether 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.040 they've got it, but if they have, I'd be trying 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.880 to get Fanilla Blake now because My feeling is he's 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.360 it's not working out in theory. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.880 What then could the Warriors do with that? 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.960 Well, I can potentially try and find someone. I'm not 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.480 sure whether they could find anyone now, but you can. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.280 You've got six days to try and see what's over. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.400 Yeah, but see, that's another thing, like when you think 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.720 about last year, we were talking about Adam Fanoel Blakers 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.680 potentially being the best prop in the game that had 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.119 overtaken painhas or is this year again just super inconsistent 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.440 and has it been as impactful as it was for 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.440 them in the past. But yeah, that's an interesting one. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.000 It's if you're going to make a run for the finals, 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.360 you need guys like Adam Fanoeur Blake in your side. 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:40.920 So it's a. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.760 Test for a website to see if you can get 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.880 guys like Sean Johnson, who was so important for them 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.920 as well, guys like Adam fanoel Blake firing. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.880 Yeah, it's you're right what you said earlier about it's 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.880 a shame because the game's going so well over there, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.800 like so well, Yeah, I like the Broncost game has 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.440 been sold out for here's something's been there for weeks 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:01.880 or something. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.280 Yeah, yeah, well I think they saw that every home 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.639 game this year. But again, that all happened on the 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.560 back of their success last year. And I think they 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.439 can't take for granted the fact that Enterhal fans can 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.160 be pretty fickle, you know what I mean, Like they 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.960 missed the finals, they start having heavy defeats like this, 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.199 fans will will stop showing up, you know. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.360 So, yeah, they need to be better. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.399 Especially if it's just a when you're looking at it 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.280 and it's just a lack of commitment, you're seeing them 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.840 being just easily beaten and you can see that there's 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.360 no like the effort is just not there, Like they 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.520 were just not communicating in defense whatsoever. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.480 They were just it was a shame. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.400 Because they actually they actually look like a really good 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:42.119 team at times. 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.320 And then that's thing, and there's been so so many 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:46.920 times this year where they've looked great. 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.320 Speaking of teams that look great at times this year, 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:56.400 Stone because the Tigers and Titans won, Eels had dropped 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.880 to last and all ladders. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.160 Who would have all eighteen The Ils have won as 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.560 many games this year as the Tigers and the Titans. Wow, 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.160 that is really kind of come on for a team 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.600 that is a powerhouse club Grand Final in twenty twenty two, 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.199 wows at the coach on top of that, and then 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.720 when you look at their roster and paper, they should 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:21.399 be doing better than one. 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.320 Yeah, yeah, it's a decent roster. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.359 Yeah, yeah, I still think I don't think they'll finished 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:27.960 last though, Do you think they'll finished last? 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.040 I think they've They've got too good of a team. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.320 Like of those guys of the teams justling for the 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.240 wooden spoon, I think they're probably by far. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:35.680 Got the best. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.400 Who's just splain that there you going. 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.240
