Shi Asaki back after 103 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 5: the club band last week. But the mind games are 104 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 5: in full swing. I hear between the Raiders and the 105 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 5: Broncos Madge and Rickys and well. 106 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: The Broncos think they're a mind games. 107 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 6: They think they heard when Papali had heard his ankle 108 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 6: at training yesterday, they thought, oh yeah, this is just 109 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 6: another tricky Ricky. 110 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: Sort of play. 111 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 6: And there was a bit of drama earlier in the season, 112 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 6: I think it was round two and and the Broncos 113 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 6: had gone down there and their team bus wasn't allowed 114 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 6: to get behind the gates down at Cambra Stadium. 115 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 4: They had to park it across the road. 116 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 5: And usually usually as as an ex player, I don't 117 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 5: know if you were the same, Gordy, the bus, the 118 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 5: opposing team bus was parked in the stadium. 119 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 6: It was, it was, and in previous years the Canbra 120 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 6: players would drive their cars there and walk into the stadium. 121 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 4: But Ricky changed things. 122 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 6: Around this year in that the team came to the 123 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 6: ground in the bus and Madge thought, oh, what's going 124 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 6: on here? He's doing a job on us, making all 125 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 6: the players well past all, they. 126 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 8: Wouldn't know he coached there, right, because you know some 127 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 8: games I remember like a light cart and then there 128 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 8: were so many people down the street. They drop you 129 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 8: one hundred meters up. We get we get hammered all 130 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 8: the way in the Bronco. 131 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: You know. 132 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 6: I think from the Raiders perspective, they just have a 133 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 6: bit of a gigg on it, Like I think this 134 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 6: game this weekend, it's it's NRL charge. 135 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: They'd locked the gate if they could. 136 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: Keep it was back up about yeah, was that right? 137 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? They did well as I understand it. 138 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 6: They rang the integrity unit, the integrity or they rating 139 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 6: someone at the end of the rowd, and the integrity 140 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 6: unit when looked. 141 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: At seriously, Yes, yes, that's what happened. 142 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 7: Let's cut through the bs large doses of paranoia from 143 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 7: both coaches. And I love Sticky and I love Madge everyone, 144 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 7: but you know what, you know what, I don't think 145 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 7: the Raiders could be bothered playing mind games about a 146 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 7: team bus. 147 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 4: Surely they've got bigger things to worry about. 148 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 7: And I think some coaches in the fair Nigham steaks though, 149 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 7: they need to feel like they're being belittled or disrespected 150 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 7: or disparaged. 151 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 4: That's what drives them. That's what they tell their team 152 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: about that no one rates us. And that's what you've 153 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: seen that right now. 154 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: Last year we said. 155 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 5: Both of these coaches are now for it, both of 156 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 5: them for using things like this as motivations teams up. 157 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 5: Now it has been set in the past of these 158 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 5: two mates. But I'm here and they're not quite as 159 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 5: good as mates. What everyone thinks is that is that 160 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 5: right or not? 161 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 6: I don't think they ever were great mates. Like It's 162 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 6: not like Ricky and Craig Bellamy or Ricky and Kevy 163 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 6: waldersh you know where they're genuine friends and they have 164 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 6: been like what happened was McGuire played at camp, right, 165 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 6: you know, and they knew one another. And then and 166 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 6: then when the Raiders were looking for a defense coach 167 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 6: two years ago I think it was or three years ago, 168 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 6: he took the job down there and they worked together. 169 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 6: I think there was a little bit of animosity when 170 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 6: Madge left. I don't think well, I certainly know that 171 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 6: the Raiders didn't think Madge was completely upfront when he 172 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 6: was going for the new South Wales job, right, and 173 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 6: then he was also trying to hold onto the Kiwi 174 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 6: job and he wanted to stay at the Raiders, and 175 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 6: then basically ended up losing the Kiwi job too, and 176 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 6: the Raiders made their decision to let him go to 177 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 6: And I think at that stage, you know, everything wasn't 178 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 6: hunky dory, but as you know, that's rugby league. 179 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 4: Look, I don't think there's any major drugs. I think 180 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 4: you're right was I don't think it was a full 181 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 4: on blue but you're quite right. 182 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 7: When Madge went to the Blues, they were asking him 183 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 7: questions and the Raiders don't feel that Madge was being 184 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 7: totally up front of them. And you know what, Ricky's like, Ricky, 185 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 7: if you're a mate, you're a mate, You're up front 186 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 7: and tell the truth. 187 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 4: And I think that's where there was a fallout. I 188 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 4: think at that. 189 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 7: Time a few Raiders officials said, come on, boys, get 190 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 7: into a room and sort it out. 191 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: And they have. 192 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 4: They're okay now, but there was a little bit of 193 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 4: unease among the. 194 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 3: Pair of them someday. Ricky, Yeah, you know if you 195 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 3: didn't like it, Oh yeah, he'd tell you. He'd tell 196 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: you straight, no doubt. 197 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 4: Ricks like, don't you break if you're a mate, you're 198 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: a mate. 199 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 3: And it doesn't hold gudges, no bs. 200 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 5: You know, you got two of you got two of 201 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 5: the most passionate coaches that they've ever coached in our game, 202 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 5: going in similar. 203 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 3: Styles, and it will rub off. 204 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 4: It will rub off on the players. When you think 205 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 4: about this game. 206 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 6: The thing that excites me as much as watching the 207 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 6: way that these sides going about attack, it's the two 208 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 6: Ford packs going. 209 00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 4: After each other. 210 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 5: We'll just before we get to any of that, Josh, Papa, 211 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 5: how serious is the injury though? Have we heard any 212 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 5: clear information out of Canber Is he in serious? 213 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: Now, yeah, he is well. 214 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 6: He definitely went down at training yesterday. He definitely left 215 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 6: the field in a moon boot. He's been in it since. 216 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 6: I think he took it off this morning and did 217 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 6: some like rehabilitation sort of work and then. 218 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: Put it back on. 219 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 6: He's in huge doubt for the game, but but the 220 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 6: Raiders are still hoping he'll play. 221 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 3: And I don't know. 222 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 6: You tell me, like an ankle injury, big man like that, 223 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 6: your mobility, how does it affect you? 224 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 3: Well? It does? 225 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 4: Is he in a moonboot? I'm just joking, breath, I'm 226 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 4: just joking. Games. Let's whack a moonboot on him. 227 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: I'm geeing youp bath. 228 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 4: You know I am. That's on backwards. 229 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: Like your head. Pleasant queens. 230 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 7: Maybe, I think with his experience, but you know what, 231 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 7: they will miss him if he doesn't play. It's a 232 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 7: young side playing probably the biggest game of the most 233 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 7: of their careers, and they're going to need Big Papa 234 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 7: out there to lead the way. 235 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 5: On the flip side to Rhys Walsh, he limped off 236 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 5: the training field today. Have we got any further information 237 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 5: as to how serious this year? 238 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 4: Ye know, he's okay. 239 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 7: I checked him with bomba Badell the staffternoon, he was 240 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 7: all over it. It's calf tightness. He did hobble off 241 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 7: the field as you can see right there. They've checked 242 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 7: in with Michael mcguy. He's fine. 243 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 4: There isn't a problem. 244 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 7: It was more precautionary and he will be most certainly 245 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 7: there at full back, which. 246 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: After a warm up one of those games. I think 247 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 3: it was a new guys. Yeah, he got his knee, 248 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: which he looks like he'll be fine. 249 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 7: Sorry, both Adam Reynolds trained with the second string side 250 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 7: the day, so we're back out there running training, but 251 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 7: obviously he's not playing in this. 252 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 5: Adam Reynolds coming up on the show so we can 253 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: ask him ourselves when he will be back. 254 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 3: Hopefully it's next week now. 255 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 5: Reethe Walsh, he has been in great form Crawls and 256 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: you've been a fan of the way that he's played. 257 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 3: I certainly have what do you put it downswer? 258 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 4: You know what the. 259 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 6: Broncos on the weekend and Reecee Waltz in particular, he 260 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 6: played like everyone has been wanting him to play all year. 261 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 6: There was no mistakes, well there was one. There was 262 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 6: one drop ball in that game the previous week he'd 263 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 6: made six ll No one was ever critical of what 264 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 6: Reee Walsh can do. It was like minimizing the mistakes, 265 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 6: playing with a bit more maturity, and I on the weekend. 266 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 4: He was breathtaking, you know. 267 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 6: And that's the Broncos that we've been waiting to see 268 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 6: all season and they've got it right at the right 269 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 6: time of the year. 270 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 4: Clinched him at top four spot. 271 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 6: And you know, you walk away from watching them on 272 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 6: the weekend you think, wow, Now, if they're not favorites, 273 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 6: they probably should be going into this final series. 274 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 7: Gordy, I'll ask you, do you think Walsh's form has 275 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 7: lifted because he's getting earlier ball with any hat And 276 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 7: please don't mistake that crack Adam, I'm not. I'm just saying, 277 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 7: though break, is he getting earlier ball and is he 278 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 7: benefiting from Ben Hunt? 279 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 8: Just looked at he was first receiver for like a 280 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 8: lot of that so probably without a dominant number seven 281 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 8: and Ben Hunt playing that role, I think he's got 282 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 8: early ball. But just said he was first receiver. He 283 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 8: was dumby half. He got in there and he just 284 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 8: made the plays. I think he probably had a bit 285 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 8: more time. Sometimes when Reese is at the back. You know, 286 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 8: the defenders do rush up on him. We saw New 287 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 8: South Wales have a lot of success. So when he's 288 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 8: you know, first off the ruck, he's probably got a 289 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 8: bit more time to play the ball. 290 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: That's what I've been what. 291 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 5: I think probably before pre Adam Reynold's injury, it was 292 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 5: Reese trying to defend in. 293 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 3: With the way that and the style that the team 294 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 3: plays with Adam. 295 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 5: After this past month, it'll be Reeese coming back and 296 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 5: Adam actually needs to acclimatize to. 297 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: The style in which they're playing. Now. Can he do that? 298 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 4: Break even how long he's played the game in a 299 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 4: certain style, he can't. 300 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: I believe it. I know you might have a different opinion, Gordy. 301 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: I think he can because he is experience. 302 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 5: It's in big games and winning Grand Final and all 303 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 5: that he's kicking game is brilliant. He just I think 304 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 5: it's better for him. I think the less is more 305 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 5: for Adam really. But the big thing for Brisbane is 306 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 5: when they do go off. 307 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 3: The rails, which they haven't done too badly. Yeah, but 308 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: that's not saying final footy. 309 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 5: In past weeks they made a lot of errors, but 310 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 5: Reees just his brilliants was got them back in the 311 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 5: game and won them the games. But in finals, you 312 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 5: make that amount of errors, you're most likely not going 313 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 5: to win against the top team. So I think he 314 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 5: can bring that composure, that game playing, game management that 315 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 5: they do need if they do get. 316 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: Under the pump, but still let Reese play it's just respall. 317 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 3: I think no, because I think he's earned the right. 318 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean he's young, he's like and just the 319 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 8: way that they've attacked and when they lost the seven 320 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 8: and six there was a huge question mark over ben 321 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 8: Hunt coming in and especially the way that he left 322 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 8: the Dragons and Rees and Billy Wolders that was playing 323 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 8: nine that scored nearly forty points a game and they 324 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 8: beat Melbourne where they hadn't beaten. 325 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 6: About you know who's seven in Adam or Ben hand? 326 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 6: Is it also the fact that there's one dominance seven 327 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 6: out there, There's not the two. 328 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 4: Blokes who have played their lives. 329 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 6: It's half back and what Billie Walters has also brought 330 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 6: to them and how he frees it up. 331 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 4: I reckon that's probably as. 332 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 3: Much as working. 333 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 5: There's an argument to keep, especially if they go out 334 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 5: and kill it this week. There is an argument there 335 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 5: to keep them in the halves, and you spoke about 336 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 5: a Gordy on the weekend. Many agree, but I just 337 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 5: think the class of Remo you have to put him 338 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 5: back in there now is the captain. 339 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: That's good observation. You've got some minor concerns about the 340 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: Raiders though. 341 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 7: More just concerns about their their experience in finals footing. 342 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 7: They haven't been there before for a long time. Ricky's 343 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 7: brought this up himself, so I don't think I'm talking 344 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 7: totally out. 345 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 4: Of school here. 346 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 7: They've played sixty six games of finals football's combined. The 347 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 7: Broncos are at ninety five. So can they adapt to 348 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 7: the excruciating pressure of finals footing. We will find out 349 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 7: them off like you did paramatter. 350 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 5: But you know what, having said that, you're making a 351 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 5: lot of apologies to day before you actually say and 352 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 5: don't take this the wrong way. 353 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 4: Don't take this the wrong you can read my mind. 354 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 7: I think the Broncos should be favorites given Camera's lack 355 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 7: of experience in the final. 356 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 4: I think the Broncos with that star stuarded. 357 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 3: Side, they got the minor premiership. 358 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 4: I know that Camera, I know they did no he 359 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 4: doesn't need to thank me. 360 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 7: I think the fact that they are so inexperienced in 361 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 7: this Broncos side is full of troop, full of big names. 362 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 7: I think the Broncos will be favorites or should be favorites. 363 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think? 364 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 4: I think that Canbra have earned the tag of favoritism. 365 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 6: They've stood up all year, from round one until now 366 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 6: they finish the competition as the best team. They've got 367 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 6: great experience in their forward pack. You know they're they're 368 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 6: young guys that you're talking about that don't have experience, 369 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 6: have been their best players all year. You know that 370 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 6: Ethan Strange and Ko Weeks have just been extraordinary. I 371 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 6: don't think there's any doubt the World Stranger is going 372 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 6: to aim up and this is same with Weeks. I 373 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 6: think they're a very tough side and I think the 374 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 6: question about for me is that of all the teams, 375 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 6: or especially in the top four, that the Raiders would 376 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 6: probably least like to play. It's like you know they 377 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 6: say in box and styles make fights. Well, the Broncos 378 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 6: are probably the closest thing to the Raiders that you 379 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 6: can get and it will really be a gunslinger shooting 380 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 6: the only. 381 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 5: Question I've question mark I've got over the Raiders, And 382 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 5: Kooper Krong said the other day as well, he's Jamal Fayed. 383 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 5: He's been amazing for them, and he has really complimented 384 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 5: the young guys and the speed and even their forward pack, 385 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 5: like he's exactly what they need right now with his 386 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 5: you know, he's got he's got a cool head, he's 387 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 5: got a great kicking game, and he's got he executes 388 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 5: the game plan. But the big thing for Jamal is 389 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 5: will he deliver on the biggest stage under pressure in 390 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 5: big moments. That that's that's the only question mark I've got. 391 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 8: And he missed the field goal the other weekend, the penalty, 392 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 8: and and he missed the conversion he which which could have. 393 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 4: Won the game. 394 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 5: And I was thinking about the finals because I have 395 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 5: had that question mark for a few weeks. Not because 396 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 5: I don't believe in him or I don't think that 397 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 5: he can do it, it's just that we haven't really 398 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 5: seen it yet. 399 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 8: I regon this question marks on every set of halves 400 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 8: except for Nathan Clearing in the final. 401 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 5: Good point all right now, Laurie Daily, I'm a verge 402 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 5: of possibly joining Seabold's coaching team at Manly. 403 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 3: Where's this come from? 404 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I spoke to a lot of about an hour 405 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 7: ago and he considered the story is on the money. 406 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 7: It was broken in the Daily Telegraph today by Mick 407 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 7: carry Arnas. Laurie did, however, say that hasn't gone too 408 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 7: far further than just a preliminary phone call. He has 409 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 7: planning to meet Anthony Seabolt tomorrow for a cup of coffee. 410 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 7: No role has been offered, No job has been offered, 411 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 7: and Lurie hasn't spoken to the new South Wales rybillity. 412 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 4: What role look to be confirmed? 413 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: Break? 414 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 7: But I think it's going to be along the lines 415 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 7: of a sounding board for Anthony Seabolt. 416 00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 8: Sooard is that the new South Wales League would allow 417 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 8: that because you don't know go into a full time coach. 418 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: He's just keeping his key role. 419 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 5: But if I'll be confused, if anything, Sea Bowl is 420 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 5: looking to step away from heady coaching to be a 421 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 5: head of football, what is the possible next head of football? 422 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 3: And a sounding board? 423 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 4: Well, seabolls not stepping away next year. 424 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 3: Now that's not my point. It's not my point. We 425 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 3: know that he's gone for another year coaching. 426 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 5: What I'm trying to say is if he's about to 427 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 5: just take over his head of football, you would think 428 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 5: he wouldn't need a sounding board, he just need an 429 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 5: assistant coach. 430 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 7: I think Seeds is just trying to find it, and 431 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 7: he looked this year was disappointing. They came home, okay, 432 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 7: they finished on thirty points, so it wasn't taking. 433 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 3: NIS's john No, okay. So it's totally different roles for different. 434 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 7: It's like someone the I guess you could argue it's 435 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 7: a mentoring role, if that's how it unfolds over coffee tomorrow. 436 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 7: I think Sea Bulls just trying to find the missing 437 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 7: expercent that they didn't find this year. 438 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 3: Prs done for merely try to get one of the 439 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 3: most popular. 440 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 7: Look if they did that to Laurie, I think you'd 441 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 7: be a bit disappointed. So I don't think that's the case. 442 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 4: Good. I hope it's not. 443 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 5: I think Laura would be great, you know, the greats 444 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 5: the oating board, if that's what they're after, Like he'd 445 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 5: be very experienced, one of the greatest to play the game, 446 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 5: and you know he'd be enormous in that regard. 447 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 3: It it's just a bit of a strange role. 448 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 6: Does that answer the questions that have come out of 449 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 6: that club this year more relate to what's happening within 450 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 6: the club and the dynamics between the coaching staff and 451 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 6: I'm talking about Seabolt and other coaching staff, and then 452 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 6: you're talking about the players and some of the players like, 453 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 6: will that fix the problem? 454 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 3: We having a good guy. 455 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 4: Laurie's a blake that's been around the game. 456 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 6: We all know he's one of the most likable fellas 457 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 6: in the game and he's got great experience. But is 458 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 6: that going to fix the machinations inside that club? That's 459 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 6: what That's what you asked yourself, because the problems that 460 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 6: they had this year go beyond Sea Bolt having someone 461 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 6: to shoot things through with that. 462 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 7: He concern I've got breath is Laurie is the origin 463 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 7: for you South Wales? If he is a line to 464 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 7: an aeraal club. Is their potential accusations of conflict of 465 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 7: interest in. 466 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 3: Billy Slater helps out Melbourne? 467 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 4: That's all The question was going to stay on? 468 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 6: Well, Madge wanted to stay on as the assistant that 469 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 6: the Raiders the new South Wales Rugby League. 470 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 4: I have only had a problem with giving the job 471 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 4: to a head coach. 472 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 5: What I would say though was Laurie's got a fair 473 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 5: job editing in New South Wales, you know what I mean. 474 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 5: He's going to have a lot of heat on in 475 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 5: this year to deliver after last year, so he doesn't 476 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 5: want any distractions. 477 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 4: He's got his morning radio program too. 478 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 7: Yeah I'm on there, oh yeah, on the radio making 479 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 7: But I think we won our time slot. 480 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 4: Goodon, I might have picked you and triple him. 481 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 3: What times are just for from the morning. 482 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 4: Buzzes on?

If they believe it, they 504 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: believe it absolutely, and you know what, the last six weeks. 505 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 8: They've actually probably can put the hand up as one 506 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 8: of the form sides in the competition really, so don't 507 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 8: look at where they are and I think for the 508 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 8: first time maybe a winner can come out of the 509 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 8: top four. 510 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 4: That's just a young blak. 511 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 6: What is he twenty two to twenty three years of 512 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 6: age who has total confidence in himself and you see 513 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 6: it off the field as well as you do on 514 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 6: the field. He made a difference the moment he came 515 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 6: back from injury this year and he continued the whole 516 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 6: way through. He's a very very special player and I 517 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 6: love the fact that he's going into this final series 518 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 6: ready to rock and roll. 519 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 4: And he is self believe, isn't he? 520 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 3: Good Onning for having it. 521 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 4: He's a been a revelation, hasn't he. He's not far 522 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 4: off the money. 523 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: When you go a mentor like Brent Reed, this is 524 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 3: what happens. 525 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 5: Just start to shine bulldogs by what's your bulldogs bite? 526 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: Right? 527 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 4: Trent Robinson. 528 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 7: I have done a story about the rooster saying that 529 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 7: Robbo lost so many players in the off season. The 530 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 7: list has been well documented, and what he's done to 531 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 7: get them there this year, I think. 532 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 3: Is that a dog. 533 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 7: I have said Robbo if he can go deep given 534 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 7: the amount of players that he lost and he didn't 535 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 7: have his half back for eighteen weeks. 536 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 4: Gordon stopped laughing. I think this is right up there 537 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 4: with his greatest ever achievements. 538 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 7: Ricky's the coach of the no doubt, but I think 539 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 7: Robbo has done an absolutely unbelievable got. 540 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 8: Some fair talent play it origin got Mark those guys 541 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 8: in this year. God, I know he fair talent, you know. 542 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 8: And with the young halves when Sam Walker was out, 543 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 8: I think they did an amazing job. 544 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, it's been an amazing job. 545 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: There are three competitions. 546 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 6: Hasn't he won twenty thirteen back to back. He's done 547 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 6: some pretty good things in the game. But you're right 548 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 6: in that door, doggie. I don't think Cooper. We all 549 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 6: thought the Roosters would be the threat they would be 550 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 6: this year, and he and we talk about all the 551 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 6: players that they've got in that squad. Well, that's a 552 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 6: credit to him too, and a lot of them have 553 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 6: come along and yeah, it's a pretty fair achievement best 554 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 6: to chieve if. 555 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 3: He goes on. I agree with you. 556 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 5: So you have it as a better achievement than all 557 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 5: the premiership I said, it's up there, up there, up there. 558 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 7: I just think to get that vote if he goes deep. 559 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 7: I don't forget the suffocating pressure at the Roosters too. 560 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 7: Every year they are expected to win. So when he 561 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 7: lost a life, he. 562 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 8: Gave Wayne Benner a B plus when he was playing 563 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 8: for a Wooden Spoon two games. 564 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 3: Again, well, he had a lot of injuries. That's part 565 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 3: of the game. 566 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 4: I know it is, but you've got to take that 567 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 4: into account. 568 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 8: Actually, and the Websters and then Andrew Webster has got 569 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 8: a lot of injuries and you gave him a B well, 570 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 8: and no one thought they'd be. 571 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 4: I don't think. 572 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: Level there's dogs column, where's that dog? 573 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 4: You just picked the pieces Gordon kept going, you can't 574 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: you can't put. 575 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 5: Ahead of Andrew Webster this year, I just put didn't 576 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 5: put him made of Andrew Webster? 577 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: You did? Plus b oh, yeah I did. 578 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 6: For the way, look the Nicico Heines situation. You know, 579 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 6: he gets hit with a grade two after the game, 580 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 6: then it gets changed. I don't know if I've spoken 581 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 6: to anyone in the game. You know, of all the 582 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 6: phone calls you make and the conversations you have, I 583 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 6: done off. I've spoken to anyone who swallows this of 584 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 6: what's happened. 585 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 4: And I know they've come out swallowing. 586 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 3: Well they're not swallowing. 587 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 6: There's a couple of things I'd like to have a 588 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 6: talk about here. Firstly, I don't think anyone has ever 589 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 6: seen this before. We haven't seen it before. They say 590 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 6: the rules there, But you know, like the fact that 591 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 6: we're talking about another club giving a medical report that 592 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 6: is going to change the grading. What happens if the 593 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 6: clubs hate each other? Where is the fairness in that? 594 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 6: Surely we've got to have a better system than this. 595 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 6: Whatever they like each other, exactly exactly. Imagine if it 596 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 6: was a couple of years ago we had sous and 597 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 6: the Roosters playing the final round of the season, and 598 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 6: then they played the first round of the finals. 599 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 3: How's that going to go? 600 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 4: It's a real dangerous incident. 601 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 6: I think they've said with dang Jack, what happened a 602 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago with Stephen Crichton. 603 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 4: It just leaves a bit of a sour taste in 604 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 4: your mouth. 605 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 3: Do you think that the incident deserves to be a 606 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 3: hip drop? No? 607 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 6: I don't, and in that respect, right, it's the right decision. 608 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 6: But Gordon, the process has got to go through the 609 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 6: correct channels. And for me and everyone else I've spoken 610 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 6: to just but is that a smartest given ail? 611 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 8: You're expected to swallow smile, saving time and money instead 612 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 8: of dragging everybody, And they go, you know what, we. 613 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 6: Know there's a There's just as big a problem I've 614 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 6: got with this too, is the fact that Nico Hines 615 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 6: did that tackle late in the game. Right, Montoya goes down, 616 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 6: He's got at that stage they think it's a serious 617 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 6: ankle injury. He leaves the field, right, it's not a 618 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 6: classic hip drop, but he landed on his leg, landed 619 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 6: on his thing. Ru hip drops, it was a rule 620 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 6: to hip drop Nico stays on the field, no sin bin. 621 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 6: Right the previous night, twenty four hours earlier, South Sydney's 622 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 6: Jamie Humphries does a hip drop. Now some people might 623 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 6: say this is a worse hip drop, but when the 624 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 6: chargers are first pulled out right, they're both grade twos. 625 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 4: It's a bad one moment. 626 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 6: But how can he get synbin and the other bloke 627 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 6: doesn't get sinbin and Montoya leaves the field Siwa Wong. 628 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 4: I think he got replaced in it. But that was 629 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 4: basically well. 630 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 3: They didn't even give it a penalty. The heines one 631 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: because they missed it right, so and that one is 632 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 3: severely worse. 633 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 4: Well, he's grade two grade too, you know, going into 634 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 4: the finals. 635 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 6: They're going into the finals when this is on the 636 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 6: whim of the bunker and the referee. I think you 637 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 6: need consistency. You either bloody sinbinam or you don't sinbin them. 638 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 6: You can't have it both ways. 639 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 7: The eventeral has employed the Matter View Committee to do 640 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 7: a job, and I think once they've reviewed it and 641 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 7: they've released the charges, I think you have to abide 642 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 7: by those rules. 643 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 4: They'll probably get it wrong sometimes just as they'll get 644 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 4: it right. But where does this end? What about a 645 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 4: suspension next week? Do they now say? We challenging that. 646 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 4: As I said, it's a Pandora's box going into the finals. 647 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 5: All rights the round Journals and there's plenty more to 648 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 5: come on Fox Sports after the finals, with India returning 649 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 5: to Australia for an eight match white ball series and 650 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 5: the ashes to follow, We've got you covered on Fox Cricket.
