Speaker 1: So who was that for? Because I mean, look, that

71
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: was just how much do you get paid? Because you

72
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: don't do anything for nothing.

73
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: No that I did that out of the conds. I

74
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: didn't get paid for that, right, So who was it for?

75
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: My time? That was?

76
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: It was just some like our friends. That was our

77

Speaker 2: friends boat. And then Friday, what do we do? Friday?

78
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: We just went down to the Hubard Hilton, me and wineback. Yeah.

79
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, so the Friday you didn't get back

80
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: in the Thursday night? What did you do on a Thursday night? Well?

81
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Where were you on the Thursday night?

82
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: I think I think probably the less detail we're go

83
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 2: into probably the better.

84
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get let's move across. Then let's move across

85
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: to the Friday, because I said the Friday, what happened

86
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: the Friday?

87
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: I just went to the Harbard Hilton with Calen Poller.

88
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: He's down right, okay, So who were influenced? Who? Who

89
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: was about? You're blaming HSCO for last night? Who you're blaming?

90
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: What is it? Kal?

91
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: I think that was Kaylen's fault as well. And then

92
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: after kaln doing down here the night, well this leads

93
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: into Saturday. The nights boys had like I suppose what

94
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: do we call it? Their mad Monday Hostco.

95
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: You reckon.

96
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: Is that what we would refer to it as probably

97
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: an end of season trip, end of season trip down

98
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: to Sydney?

99
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Mate, what an end of season trip? How much fundraising

100
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: have to just jump on a bus and come down here? Yeah?

101
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: I suppose that's not really an end of season trip?

102
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: Is it?

103
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: Friday? Let's talk through Friday against her? You and Kalyn

104
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: go to the Hardboard Hilton Hardboard Hotel, So that's a

105
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: be at lunchtime? Where did that? What happened there? That

106
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: span into the basically didn't you didn't get home that night?

107
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: We ended up at a house party and then we

108
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: were we're about on the northern beaches somewhere.

109
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: What was the reaction when kayl and Ponger suddenly walked

110
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: into that.

111
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: They was probably more excited for me.

112
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think that's the funniest thing you've

113
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: said for years.

114
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: And then that that's billed into a big night. But

115
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: then we went to the races on Saturday.

116
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: Pull back a little bit. Why didn't you come home

117
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: on the Friday night? Where were you?

118
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: I ended up falling asleep on the couch at Kaylen's.

119
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: Caitlyn got a house down here he could probably could

120
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: buy yeah if you wanted to. Yeah, sorry, Zach, we

121
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: get all right.

122
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Good to see your Hostcar. Listen. Congratulations on your season too, mate,

123
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: you made a real fist of it.

124
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: So the old me and meal for us, was that

125
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 2: a background to compliment at Hosco?

126
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: Then now it was had a great season because.

127
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: He missed most of the year because he only played

128
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: about nine games with the shoulder injury.

129
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: So there are great nine games. Hostcar did well. Okay,

130
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: so Hostcar has gone so okay, okay. Taught me through

131
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: the Saturday because you boys went to the races because

132
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Trish apparently got your suit and actually drove it to

133
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn's girlfriend's place so you could get dressed and then

134
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: go because you didn't have the decency to come home

135
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: and touch base. How you had you get the races.

136
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: It's good.

137
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: I actually I didn't even have a bet. I didn't

138
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: even have a single bet. I went to the races

139
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: and I didn't back a single horse the whole day.

140
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Right right as you go, Jack, finger up or finger down?

141
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he. I think he had a couple winners.

142
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: One of the boys picked like six in a row.

143
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, who was that Marfa Jack they had the

144
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: nights were the Knights boys at the races. They have

145
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: a good day.

146
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: They went there and no, no, we just caught up

147
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: with them after.

148
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

149
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were doing their own thing.

150
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't yeah, but we just say last night finally,

151
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: oh you did come home? Yeah yeah, terrific. Right, let's

152
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: talk from football, all right, what do you want to know? Uh?

153
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: What about first game?

154
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: Sharks Cows Sharks Cows. I've made I'd Nico play. Hey,

155
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: I'll say this. People have this a little bit going

156
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: around with Nico. People say Nicko was quite quite and whatnot.

157
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: I actually thought, sometimes with coops in a game of football,

158
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: that's the things you don't do. And what happened. Trindle

159
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: had the hot handy, so you know, sometimes you just

160
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: go out there and things are working for you. And

161
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: he saw that Niko and he just took a little

162
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: half step back. And ye, Niko just floated around the

163
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: field pick and choose in these moments and people, I

164
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: don't know what people sometimes expect from Niko. You know,

165
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: the most important thing is winning that semi final game.

166
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: And you don't know if Nico went out there and

167
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: really tried to step on Tricky's toes result might have

168
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: been different. He just took a step back and good

169
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: on him. I thought that was I thought that was.

170
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: How good and good because I heard Trindle was I've

171
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: seen Joey talking on the Sunday Show and he was

172
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: saying it was like a ten out of ten performance

173
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: by Trendle.

174
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: Best performance of his career, most important performance of his career.

175
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: He was terrific right from the get go. The one

176
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: at the first tried a little bit of ad lib.

177
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: He did grab it through, he was interfared, got a

178
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: penalty try, and I think his confidence just built from that.

179
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: He was Trendle was superb. But again I come back

180
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: to Nico. Nico was the perfect deputy because he didn't

181
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: get up there, you know, and fight for the ball

182
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: with Braiden. Everything Braiden did, Nico complimented. So for Nicker

183
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: it was terrific performance. Why did Sharks win? They returned

184
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: to simplicity, They support, They returned to how they should

185
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: play North South, power, direct running, get forward, hit the

186
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: line hard, play the ball quick and just build off

187
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: the momentum. They scored some terrific tries and did some

188
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: terrific things. Coop but it all just stemmed off that simple,

189
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: very simple football that suits their game. Go forward, hit

190
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the line, play it quick, get Brayley out of the

191
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: dummy half and everything starts stemming off that.

192
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: Would you say the Cows were bad or were the

193
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: Sharks just good?

194
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: I'll come to the cows. There's one thing. I just

195
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: want to give special mention to the Sharks outside backs,

196
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: which are vital to the Sharks to take the stress

197
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: off the forwards. In fact, they're outside backs. Their back

198
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: five they lead yardage where this Coups Molatalo was played

199
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: one of his best. He was sensational. Combined the back

200
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: five they ran for They'll all put it this way.

201
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: They had over one hundred runs, well over one hundred

202
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: run over one hundred runs, and that just shows you

203
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: the nature of the game is that playing simple, had

204
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: their big guy, had their outside backs get into the

205
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: middle of the field, and they just toiled away, toil away,

206
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,479
Speaker 1: worked away. They were terrific. But to that point before.

207
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: Cows hate With the cows, did they do a lot

208
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: wrong or with the Sharks it's really.

209
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Good side cows come out. I'm trying to think when

210
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: the first tribe was good, maybe around fifteen to twenty

211
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: minute But Cowboys were good early. Then the back half

212
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: of the first half they dropped away. Sharks got momentum.

213
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Sharks lead twenty four nil at half time. Played nervous

214
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: in the second half. The sharkis for the first twenty

215
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: minutes of the second half. They they went into their shell.

216
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: They're trying to protect the league because if you think

217
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: about this season, it's been a couple of times this season,

218
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: both times against the Warriors and one or two other

219
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: occasions that were head by a fair way and got

220
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: run down, so that they played nervously, and the Cowboys

221
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: defense in the second half was superb. The way they

222
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: defended their own try line was We'll put it this way.

223
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys had defended that way this year as

224
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: a general rule, non exception, then we're going to they

225
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: would have been still live in this competition. They'd have

226
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: been at least Final four. But yeah, best on ground yep,

227
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: Bradon Trindle except before Mulla tala I put him second.

228
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: I just thought he was sensational, got his best football

229
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: and the third player talk about tab Rudolph deserves a

230
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: bit of a rap. I thought he was really good

231
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: in yardage. Some did some great runs been in that line.

232
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: It's a good player, Rudolph.

233
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: He is a good player.

234
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: He is.

235
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: He is quirky, do great, very very quirky. Do you

236
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: know him?

237
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: Yep?

238
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: Had night out? Was he on the night out? He

239
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: soon like you had the last three days you basically

240
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: had to be with everyone well playing.

241
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: No, No, he's a good man, Toby. He's loose, loves

242
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: a beer. I like I remember that. I don't know

243
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: if you remember the interview we did where he was

244
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 2: talking about going and having I think you said he

245
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 2: was going to go in the Nordis and have like

246
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 2: a thousand beers or something, you know, getting fined for it.

247
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: Yeah by then I think. But I love that. It's

248
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: just he's just he's a real old school kind of

249
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: play like he would have fit in very well in

250
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: your generation.

251
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love the fort When he came out that time,

252
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, Kis Blakes before he goes mate, you know,

253
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: he goes on one on the one stop shot.

254
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: That was.

255
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: He's as a great character special mention too. For the Cowboys,

256
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Val Holmes was sensational his final game as a Cowboy. Yeah, yeah,

257
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: he played really well and I thought ruben Kotter did

258
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: some did some good. They were good in the second half.

259
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: It was twenty four dollars half time. Final score was

260
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: twenty six eighteen, so they won that second half eighteen two. Yeah,

261
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: that's an hure of the Cowboys coop. You know, they

262
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: instead of being constant through the game, consistent through the game,

263
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: they playing bursts.

264
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: I really had them as dark horses to win the camp.

265
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 2: I think if they'd, like you said, the second half

266
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 2: was really good, but if they put that sort of

267
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: performance together for an eighty minutes, which is probably the

268
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: one knock on the Cows the last couple of years,

269
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 2: where they play really good in patches, but they're just

270
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 2: not probably consistent enough.

271
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah it was yeah, or they're not consistent enough. That's

272
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: been the tail of the tape the last two years

273
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: and their poor game two years ago. They had that

274
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: sensational year where they were just a fraction away from

275
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: making the Grand Final, and the last year they really

276
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: dropped off. We've spoken about this before. It's a little

277
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: bit like the Broncos effect. Is that a young term.

278
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, lots of raps, lots of vgulation, contract extensions, upgrades,

279
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: and I can throw you off balance. I thought they

280
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: did last year. But I thought they'd get their heads

281
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: back on and then they would have serious tilt at

282
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: this premiership. And they've looked good in patches one stage

283
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: that they went about five in a row. But to me,

284
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: they've never looked like a contender. They just haven't been

285
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: consistent a little bit. Like I said last week about

286
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: the sharkis boys sometimes just do less. I would say

287
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: that about the Cowboys? Is that I would? I would

288
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: say them at times they listen boys. When we got

289
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: the upper hand, that's fine, let's go, let's go. Guns

290
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: are blazing. But sometimes when the games and wrestle or

291
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: we're under the pump a little bit slow the tempo

292
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: of the game, kick the ball and touch, just take

293
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: the heat out of the game.

294
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: Is there anything else in that game? Let's probably wraps

295
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: it up a little bit that one. Yeah, okay, what

296
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: about the Manly Roosters game?

297
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: Forty five thousand people full house? What's it sold out?

298
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: Friday night? Was the Canola game sold out as well?

299
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't that. That was a shame. Next door

300
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: they had the Swans and so I was happening. But

301
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what you had there. You know what you

302
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: had with in that game, You had at a out

303
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: a town team like the Cowboys, and not a lot

304
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: of fans come down. A couple of reasons for that,

305
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: the main reason being that the airlines just shot the

306
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: prices up, fixed the where as they do when the

307
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys come down here to play, or it's a big

308
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: occasion if we're going you know, if Sydney Heights or

309
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: Melbourneites or people from Brisbane are going up to towns

310
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: will for a game or vice versa. The airlines, oh God,

311
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: bless them, just put the air like how they just

312
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: they just do that. They just do this because they

313
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: know it's going to be in demand demand.

314
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: If I'm going down to Melbourne this week, I'll be

315
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: around there. Look, not going to the AFL Grand Final,

316
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: I'll be around there for it. But the flights were

317
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: so expensive, like they obviously just they just set it

318
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: whether they want, they jack them up. I've never understood,

319
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: Matthew that why don't the airline, you know, if you

320
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: book a flight like the day before, why don't the

321
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: airlines make the prices low like for the day before,

322
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: just trying to fill the plane.

323
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: Because in occasions like this like Melbourne Cup Day, Grand Finals,

324
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: semi finals. They know it's never going to it's not

325
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: going to be a problem selling tickets. So the moment

326
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys one last week and we're going to

327
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: come down here straight away, automatically they just go bang

328
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: and push it up. Same with when the Swans. When

329
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: the Swans went through and qualified for the Grand Final,

330
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: the airlines just go whack, knock it up. That's cool.

331
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: So it was disappointing given the fact that a lot

332
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys fans didn't come down to understand why.

333
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: And on top of that was the main rail line

334
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: taking Sharky's fans to the stadium. There was repairs being

335
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: done and the train train a couple of the main

336
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: trains and people waiting for were canceled really and so

337
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: we didn't that didn't have a big crowd, which was

338
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: a shame because the AFL next door they yea, but

339
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: our ratings, I mean it was in the paper today.

340
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Their ratings compared are ours and minuscule.

341
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: Oh around that game.

342
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, even that was a semi final. I think this

343
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: year the average I'm getting this off, I'm getting this off, yeah,

344
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: right is I think on TV averages the Swans. It's

345
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: twenty three thousand people as far as as far as

346
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Sydney's concerned. Oh wow, yeah, just show you made out

347
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: at the game. We're booming, they've had a good year.

348
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: Well done, and you're going down there.

349
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: Are you going to go the game?

350
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

351
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

352
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: I haven't got a ticket or anything. I probably won't,

353
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: I don't think, because I'm going to go down there

354
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: and watch the Storm play because it's Harry grand our

355
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: close friends. One hundred game in a preliminary final. Really, yes,

356
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: they get up.

357
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: For those occasions. About that in a second. Yeah, forty

358
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: five thousand people. Roosters mainly fantastic atmosphere. Coops, you haven't

359
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: seen the game. I'll feel you on one thing. As

360
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: we know, good starts are imperative in these big games.

361
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: Sharks last week, you know the eer off the kickoff,

362
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: and that threw them off balance, Manly Coop in the

363
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: first twenty seconds. Both Cola and Jake knocked out in

364
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: the first twenty seconds. Coler couldn't return. It was a

365
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: bad knockout. Jake did, but that it's weird.

366
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: You never see Jake get knocked out. I don't.

367
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember him. Who's a low tackler too that

368
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: hits under the ribs. Yeah, I've never seen him giging

369
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: cast Yeah he returned to the field. But it did.

370
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: It did have to have an effect. People say no,

371
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: but they just got on with the game. But it

372
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: did have an effect. When you see your skipper going off.

373
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think they would have been unless

374
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: Jake it didn't come back on, they wouldn't have been.

375
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 2: They would have been able to activate their eighteenth man.

376
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: Is Jake skipper or DC ex skipper DC is Yeah right, yeah, okay,

377
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: isn't unusual you can be the you're the state captain,

378
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: but not the club captain.

379
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: Well, this was the first time I think there was

380
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: Adrian Limb and Freddy in the early two thousands. That

381
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: was the only time that like they'd been a captain

382
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: at the same club instead of Origin. So obviously Lammy

383
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: and Freddy they were Queensland so well was and then

384
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: Chez and Gerbo did it this year.

385
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Thanks mid Well. Hang on a second, Joey, Joey and

386
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: Bedzi remember that try he sets up in his big

387
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: comeback and return. He goes the new They the New

388
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: South Wile's captain to the Newcastle captain when Beds but

389
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: Bedsy was the state captain, Joey was the Newcastle captain.

390
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: That's weird.

391
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they got to because Joey made the

392
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: comeback Bedsy had started the series.

393
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's bizarre.

394
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: Big one for the for the Roosters. Remember last week

395
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: against they just weren't up for the start of the

396
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: game and they defended really passively. Made they were ride

397
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: up the sky up emotionally. J wh like the difference

398
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: he makes in that football side is massive. Talking to

399
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: Shawn Johnson, who was on the show last night as

400
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: we're recording this, he was saying in the test matches

401
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: he would look at j w H before the game.

402
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: He said, he's the real pulse of the site and

403
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: you get confidence for him and you can see that

404
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: he led him. I mean last night could have been

405
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: possibly his last game as a Rooster. Joseph Sali, he

406
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: could have been his last. Luke Keary and Joey Marney,

407
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: all those blakes were good.

408
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: Who was the best.

409
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Coops? Tedsco And this is hot take or hyperbole, whatever

410
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: you want to say, but it's the truth. I thought

411
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: It was one of his greatest performances as a rooster.

412
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: He's two hundred and fiftieth game. Oh, coops, he was.

413
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: He was amazing. The first it was the first tray.

414
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: Was it the first try?

415
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: First try he laid on for Victor, and I think

416
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: it was probably symbolic of what he did for the

417
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: whole game. They're on the attack and Tedesco just went

418
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Wush's first receiver sat the aid of Founder on his

419
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: heels like bush, and he just jumped to the boot

420
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: of Fander, pulled him Victor under the post. That was

421
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: That was Tedesco all night. Coops. He just I'd love

422
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: to know his run moters. I don't know, but he

423
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: he just terrorized manly. He was terrific and made hats

424
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: off to Victor because remember we had we had Brandon

425
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: here having a meal the other night and I asked him,

426
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: do you think Victor will played? And he went, yeah,

427
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: he was, I don't know, mate. He said it's a

428
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: really bad one and he said he's struggling a and

429
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: will he got through Victor?

430
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: He was?

431
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: Was he fine? He well, he scored a good try.

432
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: He was he was good. Sandon Smith was really good. Coops.

433
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: Sandon Smith. We said last week against Penrith that he

434
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: would have got that was vital experience, would have taken

435
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot out of that game, you know, playing Penrith.

436
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: In Penrith first finals game, Nathan clear returning hostile crowd

437
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: and made it clear clearly was because Sandon was terrific.

438
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: He'scored a great try.

439
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually I did see the video of that.

440
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 2: Did any of the boys mainly play well?

441
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: Uh?

442
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I had. Their moments were men's fun It

443
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: was funny. I would not come out and say that

444
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: Manly were just poor, you know, yeah they're really down

445
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: or anything like that, because even though that they got

446
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: beat by significant score, but yeah, they just it was

447
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: more to the point that Roosters were just so good. Jamal,

448
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: You've got to have a look at mate. He'd put

449
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: a shot on Lindsay Collins. I've never seen Lindsay Collins

450
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: hed like that. Really, Oh man, he just really he'd

451
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: open up right. We spoke about the Cowboys coops for

452
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: next year. This year, I was really confident they'd be

453
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: at least top four. They made second week of the finals,

454
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: but I think all in all, given the talents on

455
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: the side it was disappointing. Wouldere would they look at

456
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: their season, They'd have to be a little disappointed. Mainly,

457
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: as far as next year is concerned, Coops, I if

458
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: I was subs with that side, if that side for

459
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: them to make the next step is that I would

460
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: be doing ninety percent of my focus in the off

461
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: season on defense, because that team is a brilliant instinct

462
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: They've got some brilliant instinctive players, and so they jump

463
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: in and out of structure quite a bit. You just

464
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: need a very basic structure they can fall back on

465
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: or begin the game with, and then you sprinkle that

466
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: with tom Tom's instincts, DC's instincts and so on, and

467
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: Brooks's improvement, and you know they're going to be up there.

468
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: But the thing is, when you're an instinctive football side

469
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: and you've got instinctive individuals, that is going to bring

470
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: errors into your game and mainly have not been able

471
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: to consistently absorb those errors. So if that can work

472
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: really hard, have a big off season focusing on their defense,

473
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: and next year they can go to the next level.

474
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: I thought, as far as this year is concerned, I thought,

475
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for Luke Brooks. I thought Brooks's best

476
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: game that I can think of as a professional, and

477
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: he fitted in that side really well.

478
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: Well, I would think that mainly needs. I mean, Chess

479
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: has probably got in his career two maybe two more years,

480
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: you'd think, because he's playing outstanding it.

481
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: He just never gets injured.

482
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: But I think they're going to I mean, I don't

483
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: know what they plan is afterwards, but I would think

484
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: that he's going to be so hard to replace for

485
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: that's because they don't really have somebody there just like

486
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: who's sort of waiting in the wing. You know, a

487
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: lot of clubs would have someone.

488
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: There who like, who's the half pack replace? I mean,

489
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: you might be able to move if he was Like

490
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: I've seen the off season he comes out and says,

491
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, I've realized that i want to spend more

492
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: time with the family. I'm done. You move Brooks into seven,

493
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: and you bring a six in. Now there's a general

494
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: real keep generally if sides are looking for a halfback man,

495
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: not a lot round. There's not one of the greats

496
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: retired last year, you.

497
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, maybe Trindle. Actually I've seen Andrew John's another

498
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: quote he had he come out.

499
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: And said, just so, it's funny, isn't it. You turn

500
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: up late to this engagement for our work, yet you

501
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: spend your all your Sunday morning. Just listen to your uncle.

502
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: Now it come up on a clip on social media.

503
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: He was talking about it. He said, right now, Trindle

504
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: could get eight to nine hundred thousand dollars a season.

505
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: I thought it was a big call.

506
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: It's a big corps supply and demand, that's what he said.

507
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: He said, there's just no one out there exactly. Yeah,

508
00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: I would have loved that. Best player Tedesco first, ted

509
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: Esco second, Tedesco third. He was that good look Sandon

510
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Smith was terrific too, And I thought, I thought marn Who,

511
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: marn Who was wandering infield and he and Teddy were

512
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: working in combination, which we've called for in the last month,

513
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: and they did. They combined a few times, caused mainly

514
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot of problems. Marn Who back through that Middles

515
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: a big weapon. So next week, Coops, we've got the

516
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: Sharks and Penrith at a course stadium, going to be

517
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: shark mate Penrith coming off a week off. Yeah, go

518
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: be man, so hard to beat.

519
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: Do you give sharks a chance.

520
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: Well, they're a fighter's chance. They're in the final four.

521
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: They've worked hard to get there and coops, they're broken

522
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 1: FITSI and a lot of those players have broken their

523
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: finals duck. So there's a bit of that pressure taking

524
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: off their shoulder, shoulders and the other thing. Coops. The

525
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Sharks have done very well this year against size not

526
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: they're not expected to beat and they've done so they

527
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: will go there with no pressure on their shoulders. But

528
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: it would be terrific. That's through the middle. But for

529
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: them to beat for them to beat Penrith, they've got

530
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: to win the yardage game. That's very hard to do.

531
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: And they again Militala Katoa, Jesse Raymond and so on.

532
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: An era Mate, cayl Ira is he has been fantastic.

533
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: He was he was good again. He was good again

534
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: the other night and the week before in their loss

535
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: he was the best player. Those players have got to

536
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: be able to excel against Penrith to give themselves a chance.

537
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: And Roosters versus Storm in Melbourne, Melbourne and Melbourne coming

538
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: off a week tough to beat. But mate, the Roosters

539
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: are going to be buoyed by that performance.

540
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they have I mean, there's a there's a

541
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: big history in the finals between those two. They always

542
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: have a good matchup, good games. But I don't know,

543
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: I can't I can't see I can't see it not

544
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: being a storm Penrith Grand Final.

545
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: Like it's just look, we're going to preview that later

546
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: on the week, but listen Coop to finish with, We've

547
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: had a lot of people reach out to me and

548
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: say they want more Cooper John's as Anthony Seabolt. Because

549
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: you blokes weren't here, I couldn't say up the room

550
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: for a press conference, so you're just going to sit there.

551
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: I'll be buzz you be Sebs.

552
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: You know it's funny. Steves' sister messaged me and was like,

553
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: your Sebs impression is I've never seen anything like it.

554
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: It is so accurate. I just sent it to him.

555
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: So Steves has obviously heard it now as he reached

556
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: out to you. Not yet, but now I know he's

557
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: listened to it.

558
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: Well, it's Mad Monday. Was never knocked out there. It's

559
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: a Sunday, but it's the Mad Monday. He might be

560
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: asleep at McDonald's as we speak. Mate, run mate, Sebs.

561
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: Your thought on the performance tonight.

562
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah well, yeah right.

563
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: Thanks, Buzz.

564
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: I appreciate you asking me that. Look, I think losing

565
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: Jake curly was pretty disappointing.

566
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah right.

567
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: I think that was pretty hard for us to bounce

568
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: back from that. Losing Tollo out there in the Senate

569
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: as well.

570
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: He was somebody that, you know, we really built our

571
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: performance on last week.

572
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 3: So yeah right, he obviously well he won us the

573
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: game the week before with a really good try and

574
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 3: that's what that's what you get.

575
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: And we're going to be fair in giving this competition.

576
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: I think that's yeah, to have their best players on

577
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: the park.

578
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: Yeah right, listen, you we know how emotional Jake is

579
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: after a loss, and how our How was Jake's good.

580
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: Question, Buzz, thanks for asking it as well, Yeah right,

581
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 3: he was really emotional, as I'm sure we can imagine.

582
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah he was. He was really emotional. And

583
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: the whole Jovovich family are yeah, yeah right, good good family.

584
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: They are really good for saying that as well, Really good.

00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: Family, sebs, Thanks mate, and good luck for next year.
