1
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to three sixty Revelly from every angle joining them

2
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: in the Great Gordon Tallas. Let's bring the Journal Australian

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Poor Crawley and Dean Richie Bulldog. You've got some breaking

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: news for us to start the show.

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: The Analysis put a statement out gentlemen saying that the

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: game this Friday night, the Dolphins versus Sous, given the

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: possible consequences of Cyclone Alfred, which could drop between two

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 3: to four hundred mills on the streets of Brisbane, for

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: safety reasons, it has been moved. It will now be

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: played at Combak Stutum in Parramatta, and that means around

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: seventeen game between the same two sides merely gets flipped over.

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 4: And that is up there in Brisbane.

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: So they didn't have much choice. I don't think the

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: forecast is horrendous. Gordy, you live there, you no doubt

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: are on top of this, and for safety purposes, they

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: had no choice.

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 5: Well, the cyclone's coming.

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 6: Obviously, I was with Cyclone Alphae in Vegas, but this one,

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 6: Alfred might be just might be a little bit bigger. Yeah,

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 6: So I was going to head obviously between the Sunshine

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 6: Coaster and NUSA, So a lot of rain and a

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 6: lot of swallow there at the moment, so it's a

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 6: it's a great decision.

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: Comments Comedy says, exactly like, you can't have a game

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 3: up there with potentially four hundred miles of rain and

28
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty kilometer wins. It was just the

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: right thing to do. It's the first Friday night of

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: the season. Two big clubs moved to Sydney. Get it

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: on the Dolphins. Sorry, brother, I'm going to the Dolphins.

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: Actually spoke with the premier up in corenys Now today,

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: excuse me. And there was an option on the table

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: to play the game without crowds, which is a bit

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: of a throwback to COVID days. So the crowds were

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: going to be told stay away, stay home, stay safy.

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: Obviously, total that.

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 7: Was the main issue. Couldn't have a game of in

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 7: ane hundred milk.

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 6: Like they've got families as well, So you think that

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 6: when the cyclones or anything, they'd closed the airport.

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: But this is the better option, and it shows leadership

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: again from the NRL. Peter Velandi's you know, to do

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: what he did in Vegas would have just I was

45
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: on the same flight as in this morning.

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: Lands has to deal with this straight away.

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: By the end of the day, he's moved the game

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: from Queensland to New South Wales. Has no problems at all.

49
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy can do anything. At the moment,

50
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: can't and it ended up being the right decision.

51
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: He's just to do it, isn't he anything He sets

52
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: his mind, he just gets it done. Mind you, there

53
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: was a lot of layers of red tape to ghost.

54
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: This is my point exactly.

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: It's not that simple just to say we're moving it.

56
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: But they've done it.

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: SOUSE members going to be informed of this in the

58
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: next hour, so they could now start.

59
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 5: To do a round seventeen members ticket or just work around.

60
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: One's up with this to start.

61
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 7: Especially games what Dog said before. So the next game

62
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 7: between the Dolphins, it'll be up there.

63
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, like in terms of round one, they're

64
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: under a little bit of precious house. They didn't have

65
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: the best trial form and now they can play, you know,

66
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: in Sydney for their first game. It's not at home game,

67
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: but it's close to the home home fan base can.

68
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: Watch the game and they don't need to head up

69
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: to Queensland.

70
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: So I had to make the decision today because they

71
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: planned to leave about midday tomorrow to go up there.

72
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's good, all right.

73
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: The sports Bet team selections are in. Let's take a look.

74
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: As you can see here there are a few changes.

75
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Peakes named Hooker Cobo on the wing for the Broncos.

76
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: For the Tigers, the Silver replaces their suspended Corras. How

77
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: At hooker, Cogger and Shaft. The new halves pairing for

78
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: Newcastle Graham chosen. It sent a big inclusion for Sous

79
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: despite that preseason injury for the Melbourne Storm Papenhouse and

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: he had the ankle knee injury in the offseason, but

81
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: named at fullback and Paramatta Mitchell Moses out with a

82
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: foot injury. To me, that sticks out as a big one.

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Which one for you guys is.

84
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: Mitchell Moses out for Paramatta? You know it's the new era,

85
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: new kh Jason Rowles. They need to start fast. They

86
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: weren't particularly impressive in the Trolls. Moses is their best player.

87
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: And yeah he's a massive locks knuck up.

88
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: Not many people seem to be talking about any injury

89
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: in Witch Moses, so I think everyone was a little

90
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: surprised when the teams came out details, Yeah, I text

91
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: paramount of this afternoon break, and they weren't overly knowledgeable

92
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 3: about when he would return. It's indefinite at the moment.

93
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: They concern though, is it an injury that could last

94
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: through to four weeks?

95
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: Well, I'm surprised they didn't know break in terms of

96
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: if it's only a week. They generally say it's a week,

97
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: But when they say we don't know the return date,

98
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: then you start to wonder whether it's a little more

99
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 3: serious than what we're led to believe.

100
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that they need you, that they need him

101
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: to start the year. Jason Rolls has come in. They

102
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: want to start like every team, right, and you want.

103
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: To get the best players there in around one. You

104
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 5: want your kickers. The majority of the game is one

105
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 5: on this week and would be one on a kicking game.

106
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 3: Well, it's an opportunity for Dylan round too, given the

107
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: noise around him all summer, and he has to go

108
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: out there and show he can be the man.

109
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: And we'll get to that a little later on in

110
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: the show. But let's talk about Vegas. We've covered it

111
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: top to tay really, but how it was an amazing

112
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: week for us scoring myself for there, but from you

113
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: guys the journals sitting back here watching it from the

114
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: couch back at home. How did you guys see it?

115
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 7: I loved it. I loved it. It was bright.

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: The English game was wonderful. Wigan were fantastic. The crowd

117
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 3: really got into it. You could feel it back here.

118
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: It was sensational coverage. So many people you know went

119
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: over to enjoy the week and the football was fantastic.

120
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: The two NRL games in particular, we're outstanding. The Raiders

121
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: really put on a show and Penrith just showed once

122
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: again why there's such a champion team. It was spectacular,

123
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: wasn't it? And I think it also bought it out

124
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: the AFL. It has not yet gotten aim mentioned in

125
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: Sydney for the past two weeks, so if that's part

126
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: of the plan, it certainly worked. I think Peter Landi's

127
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: nailed it. Though four games was too many. Are you

128
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: guys in the starting willback here watch it in television?

129
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: It went for ten hours. It was too long. One

130
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: game will be cold.

131
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: It will be the Jill Rouse and obviously that Jill

132
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: Ruse game. It did interrupt the momentum of the day.

133
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: Given the score, I'll probably be the Jilla ruse. It

134
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: will be the jilos. That's the understanding. I don't think

135
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: it's definitive yet.

136
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: Break the land, that's what That's what you're hearing.

137
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's from hearing correct.

138
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: Well, the English crowd they bring tenth.

139
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Just to talk from our point of view who were

140
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: at the game, obviously, the Super e crowd was unbelievable.

141
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: The atmosphere they brought, the wigans, the Wigan and Warrington fans,

142
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: it was like it was amazing it.

143
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 7: And given it was such a one sided contest, yeah, they.

144
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 6: Loved it and and they sing against But then the

145
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 6: day did get a bit longer. But and then when

146
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 6: the people were leaving, I didn't realize once you left

147
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 6: the stadium, so if you went out to have a

148
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 6: smoke or whatever, you can't get back in. So I think,

149
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 6: you know, people weren't leaving because of the foot I

150
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 6: think because the last game was obviously the show piece

151
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 6: between Penuthine, I did feel.

152
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: For them, but because they were the most passionate fans,

153
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: but they had to sit there through another three games

154
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: after their one, you know, and you could tell it

155
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: was wearing them down as it went on. But the

156
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: four games were too much. Like you know, I said

157
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: it straight after the game that Peter Velandi's actually acknowledged

158
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: and said it straight after the game. It was a

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: huge success and there's no taking away from that. But

160
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, four games back to back, you know, is

161
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: a very very long day.

162
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: The only negative twenty dollars us a beer and they

163
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 6: ran out of beer.

164
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 5: No, do you know what I heard?

165
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 6: That is the most beer sold of that stadium?

166
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, that is the most four games?

167
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: Hold on Super Bowl?

168
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: No, that is that? Is that a good indication.

169
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 6: Of the NRL English right, one hour of the English

170
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 6: was was actually more than the whole NFL when the

171
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 6: Raiders play. But they did have a Super Bowl there, right,

172
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 6: so to be the Super bowls pretty Is it.

173
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: The greatest innovation in rugby leagues since State of Origin?

174
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: I think, I think if it has to amount a very

175
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 4: very strong.

176
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 6: Aim to say that it is, we're taking a lot

177
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 6: of boxes right because Magic Ground.

178
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: I wasn't too sure.

179
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 6: It is amazing in Britaman it is a week that

180
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 6: everybody puts in their calendar and that's a great celebration

181
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 6: of our game. But this is one of the greatest celebrations.

182
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 6: Like I sit there and a we're in different places

183
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 6: than we look there And then players come and sat

184
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 6: on our desk on three sixty and they're in all right.

185
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: I think every player wants to go there, And for

186
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: any viewer watching this show.

187
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: You've got to do it at some point.

188
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: It is no way for your so once in a

189
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: lifetime experience, whether it's your team or not, get over there.

190
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: It doesn't it's a magical week now. Word of mouth

191
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: so important breath. People came back last year raving about it,

192
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: including myself and people this year is now five thousand

193
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 3: more they will probably direct another five to ten thousand

194
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: there and.

195
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: Fifteen thousand Americans they bought tickets.

196
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: And we've really sucked the life out of every other

197
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: code in this country for the last couple of weeks,

198
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: haven't we. Like when you actually sit back and look

199
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: at it, we have just stolen all the headlines, all

200
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: the paper, all the radios.

201
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: It's it's everywhere. So it's I mean, it's smart tactically, Braith.

202
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: It's not just a matter of Vegas being glamorous. That

203
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: is a smart tactical move. For one sport took obliterate

204
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: all other sports leading into the first week of the

205
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: winter in Vegas, though, makes it such a selling point too,

206
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: Like you know, because it is Vegas, it is on

207
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: the bucket list of a lot of people to go

208
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: over there and experience that.

209
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 7: And also the fact you get to see.

210
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: Some really magic ground and Brisbane going to Vegas. I

211
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 6: don't see it working in Nashville like like that way,

212
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 6: he talks about some other cities in America.

213
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: Okon, this is the best place.

214
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: I agree.

215
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Now Vodaphone Dynamic duo in Las Vegas, Slia Martin and Isaiao.

216
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, now these two were I mean, everyone waxes

217
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: lyrical around Nathan Clear and so we should, but these

218
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: two honestly were sensational.

219
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: Liam Martin's backing up from Man of the Match in

220
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: the Clive Churchill Medal in the Grand Final, he goes

221
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: out there no preseason games. He terrorizes him from the

222
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: opening whistle. He was on a mission in that game,

223
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 3: and he's and then he and then he pulls off

224
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: a trisaving tackle near the end of the game to

225
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: secure the victory. But I also thought Isaiah Yoh is

226
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: just one of the unsung champions of our game. I

227
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 3: was watching him there the other day and that influenced

228
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: both he and Nathan, Like, I don't think there's any

229
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: question anymore that one day down the track, Nathan will

230
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: be a rugby league of mortal. But I just think

231
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: that there's an argument, definitely from me that Isaiah Yale

232
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: has to be in that conversation. I don't remember watching

233
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: a player who has been as influential a Ford, as

234
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: influential on the continued success of his team as this bloke.

235
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: He's a big man, he rolls his sleeve up, he

236
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: does the hard work. He's got great skills. He's ball

237
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: playing is fantastic. It adds another dimension to this team.

238
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: He's just as important as Nathan, and he's calm. He

239
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 5: started as a center.

240
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 6: Right, then he plays lock right, then he plays front right,

241
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 6: and then when he plays State of Origin, he's a

242
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 6: hit up forward and he stands and tackles, and he

243
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 6: plays Nathan's out and he plays as first receiver and

244
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 6: he plays just as good as a playmaker.

245
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: Then he plays Locke.

246
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 6: And just said there was a subtlety like he comes back,

247
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 6: comes off the line sideways.

248
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: That's an Andrew Johns. That's that's a halfbacks try.

249
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: So it's like his vision.

250
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: I think he's a great Didn't.

251
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: He say that he's chameleon We've ever had.

252
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 5: A million is anywhere.

253
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 6: He can play anywhere in the game, and he'll model

254
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 6: the best players.

255
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: And the other point to it, too, is that we

256
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: look at all the players that Penrith have lost over

257
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: the years, you know, really significant individuals, and it's these

258
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: two that hold that club together. And look you're throwing

259
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: Liam Martin too and Dylan Edwards and but these two leaders.

260
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: It says a little to me. It's a little bit

261
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: like Melbourne Storm. You know, just because Cameron Smith is

262
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: seen as that, you know, he is an immortal in waiting,

263
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean Billy Slater can't be. And I think

264
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: it's the same argument for these two that.

265
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: You mentioned it.

266
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: But Doie, this is you've worked this up today, so

267
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: this is to issue this.

268
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just was fascinated breath by this misconception out

269
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: there that people say this is a.

270
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: Great Penmouth team. It's more than a team.

271
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: This is now, this dynasty is now spanning two generations.

272
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: You can see here from Round one twenty twenty when

273
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 3: they started their run all beat they got beaten in

274
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: the Grand Final to round one in Vegas.

275
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: There's only four players still there. To be fair, Dylan

276
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 4: Edwards and.

277
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: To toy I wasn't there in Vegas, and Dylan Edwards

278
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: wasn't there in round one in twenty twenty. Excuse me

279
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: through injury, but it just proves to me and proved

280
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: everybody that this is now spanning two three generations.

281
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: It's not just one side.

282
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: People should remember that and it makes their achieved it's

283
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: even more meritorious.

284
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: Which shows, like you said, how important Liam Martin isa.

285
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: We know clear he is. That's that's a given right.

286
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: But to have two back rowers who have had the

287
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: impact on a team, and you talk about generational that

288
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: have won four Premierships in a row, have lost, Crichton, Burton,

289
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: you name it. The list goes on Taruva kick out.

290
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: You can keep naming Boris, but to have too Cleary's Cleary.

291
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: But to have two back rowers that can change games,

292
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: that have that are just well, Martin's a beast.

293
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: Those like a half that's playing thirteen.

294
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: But can also score from ten or fifteen meters out

295
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: like you're one of the best back rowers that's ever

296
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: played the game.

297
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: Gordy, what do you think, Liam Martin?

298
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 6: These two absolutely like the Pendu blokes would teasing me

299
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 6: the night after the game said he would have bashed me,

300
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 6: and I would have loved the challenge. But he's a

301
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 6: guy like when you're watching your play, state of Origin, whatever,

302
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 6: no matter what happens, he goes to the collision, he

303
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 6: goes to the contest, he's not scared, so he's he

304
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 6: would have been a nightmare to play against. There's no doubt.

305
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 6: And then right now with Olwatu and all these big,

306
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 6: great athletes and kickout, he's well, he's probably the best backroller.

307
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: In the game.

308
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: And it's the consistency too, with the consistency of their

309
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: success that sustained success. Because, like you say, Gordy was

310
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: a great player in his day, Sam Burgess was another

311
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: great player. You could keep going on, Glenn Lazarus.

312
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 7: There's so many great players.

313
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: But I think what stands out for me with Isaiah

314
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: is the leadership and the way that this team has

315
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: continued its success with so many players leading.

316
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 6: Take out, his passing, bring.

317
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: Another team, developing another team from within is what what

318
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: Penrith do and these guys, they just lead the way.

319
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: And he's a Bradley Clyde complete. He's a modern day

320
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: non provnit Is probably and There's fortunate, but he just

321
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: he's unsung ways. It just reminds you of he's such

322
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: a gentleman on and off the field, and he's just

323
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: you know.

324
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan Cleary may not be the player he is

325
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: without Isaiah. You know, we won't know that because they

326
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: only ever played together.

327
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: But honestly, like what he does for Nathan, he's just

328
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: gives you so much time and space, which leads me

329
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: to this next one. It is the comparison in halves

330
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: the Panthers taking on the Sharks on the weekend, which

331
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: was a great game, but the comparison in the halves

332
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: for both teams in critical moments.

333
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: How did you see cruels?

334
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 7: I thought there was.

335
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: There was a couple of sets in particular that just

336
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: summed up Nathan's calmness and influence on that team and

337
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: the way that look it was leading up to that

338
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: Dame Lorry try where it put them ahead, you know

339
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: at the end of the game to twenty eight twenty

340
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: two did it finish up? And you just have to

341
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: watch how smart they so Jack Cole was initially feeding

342
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: the scrum. At the last second he's dropped the ball,

343
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: Lorrie's run in from the left wing, Cole's run across.

344
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 7: They've stacked this right edge.

345
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: Liam Martin will have to go back over it because

346
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: Cleary's turned martin In to run at stone Street, who

347
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: was the winger rover on the opposite side. You'll see

348
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: stone Street over there and he'll sprint across when he

349
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: drops the ball. Then Cleary will turn martin In run

350
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: straight at stone Street. Then the very next play they

351
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: go straight back at that edge and they score where

352
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: he would have been defending. And it starts at training.

353
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: Every single player knows their job. They have the calmness

354
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: on the field to pick the moment when they're going.

355
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: To do it.

356
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: A coach there and waiting and it just works.

357
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 7: Was actually my son that pointed it out to me.

358
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: But anyway, you watch Cronulla later in the game and

359
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: they had a set where you know, they were attacking

360
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: Penris line.

361
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 7: And there was just nothing doing like it was just.

362
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: So methodical and why and how are they so methodical

363
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: ahead of the best, But you can't tell me all

364
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: that other clubs don't practice not perfect day. This is

365
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: what we're talking about, Doggie, because I had this set

366
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: where they had six tackles on the line.

367
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 7: That was the only shot passes there.

368
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 5: They score, the Santa passes to the winner and they score.

369
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: There's certain things that's.

370
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: A culture thing. They're so good Crawls. You're right, right,

371
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: this is the difference, right, There is a difference when

372
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: the game is on the line and you need to

373
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: come up with a big play. This is like this, right, Yeah,

374
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: this is what separates and great team. But this is

375
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: why Kraala Sharks will continue to make the finals and

376
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: top four every year. But can they take that next

377
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: step to win a premiership. This is their challenge because

378
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: they've got Trindle and Heinz there. Trindle was the dominant

379
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: half on the weekend and was I thought he had

380
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: a great game. Heins was a little bit quiet, started

381
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: the game well. But with Penrith, you just know if

382
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: they're in the game and they hang in there, it's

383
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: either going to be Cleary. They don't have Lu anymore,

384
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: but it's going to be Yo, or it's going to

385
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: be Cleary or just one of their players. Normally Cleary

386
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: who comes up with that big play when they need

387
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: it the most. And that's like most teams. You've got

388
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: Munster and Jerome. He's a saying on three sixty last

389
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: night in Vegas. You've got these teams that have got

390
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: these key players that we knew premierships. The Sharks. Their

391
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: problem is is trendle end or Hines the right combinational

392
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: players that can get them to that next level.

393
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 7: It's round one. They've got a season to get it right.

394
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: I think what we saw over there was that Coronella

395
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: now have a roster with Panua Blake in that team

396
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: where they're capable. They have, but it's going to come

397
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: down to the halfbacks doing the job. And there was

398
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: another concern that I just a couple of the defensive

399
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: efforts from the fullback Will Kennedy on the week, and

400
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: I thought were quite concerning. I don't know what you

401
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: blokes would think if we get a chance to have

402
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: a look at those, but there was two stride scored.

403
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: Kennedy hardly makes an effort in this one, and then

404
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: on the next one that we'll see clear he does

405
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: trick him. He moves to one side, then he goes back.

406
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: But even so I thought that the effort from Kennedy

407
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 3: would So you watch this. If that's Clint Gufferson made,

408
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: he's going one hundred miles an hour to get to that.

409
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 6: But that's the difference, right, So those last two plays,

410
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 6: right when Talakai hits it and Raymond you have a

411
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 6: look like the black jerseys that are in the picture.

412
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 5: When they put a play on.

413
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 6: Nathan Cleary has got so many options and he can

414
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: hit three right when when other side is put on

415
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 6: a play, it's selfish, so they go there's one, there's

416
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 6: one other.

417
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: I'm getting to.

418
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: On this though, Like we talk about the Hars, you

419
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 3: know that they've got Daniel Atkinson waiting in the wings

420
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: and Trindle is clearly leading this side at the moment.

421
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: You just wonder if if Niko being the running player,

422
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: he plays his best football when he runs the ball,

423
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: would there be an option down the track of it

424
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: doesn't work to move him back.

425
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: It could be And by no means is this a

426
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: knock on?

427
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: Because Kerala are playing four premierships in a row and

428
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: they lost by six points, right, and they're going to

429
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: they're going to make the finals with ease ay and

430
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: to canter into the finals and they probably will my

431
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: top four.

432
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: If not, they're going to be on the edge.

433
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: But all we're saying is if they want to be

434
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: a premiership winning team, then do they have the capabilities

435
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: to do that? I think they do. But can they

436
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: get there? Can Hines get there? Can Trindle get there?

437
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: It's up to them too. They've got Adam Fernour Blake

438
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: there now, they've got really good outside backs, a really

439
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: solid back three and forward pack. Now it's really going

440
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: to come down to those big moments. Now, let's lighten

441
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: things up a little bit. You've written a story tomorrow

442
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: on Nathan Cleary.

443
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: What's all this about?

444
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: I wrote it in my column called Bulldogs.

445
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: But I've just said in the column Braith that sooner

446
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: rather than later Nathan might have to take the plunge

447
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: and move. He's in love with Mary Fowler. I don't

448
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: want to make this all soppy, but clearly they love

449
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: a good job. They talking about marriage and they talk

450
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: about me. Me.

451
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 4: Nathan, there's your message from.

452
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: Me, Please follow your heart. Best wishes Dennis the bull

453
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: from Richie.

454
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've got a lot of experience.

455
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: Necessarily, he's going to listen to you.

456
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of experience.

457
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Now I've got I've got I've got to Vegas.

458
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 5: Right, so Nathan goes to playing the English.

459
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 3: I'm saying, goody, that Mary can't come here because the

460
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 3: opportunities in a global sport aren't available here.

461
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: Okay, So then Nathan and his twenty eight next birthday

462
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 6: could go and play for a week.

463
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: So silly.

464
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 5: But what happens if Mary goes and plays soccer in America?

465
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 4: Obviously things will change. That's a big if in there.

466
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, is there a chance that Nathan, who's

467
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: achieved everything in the game right now for premierships.

468
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: Is just seven, He's just turned twenties.

469
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: He's coming into his best years year thirty six.

470
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 8: I know, But how long do you want to keep

471
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 8: you having a lot of relationship for You're saying that

472
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 8: he should leave him now because the friend overseas, the

473
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 8: time may come if keep playing.

474
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't Mary Fowler. It was just it was just

475
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: not Mary Fowler. So people do people do exactly, But

476
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: you'd have the same opinion if it wasn't Mary Fowl.

477
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, if if Nathan's achieved everything, how long

478
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: does he want to keep playing in the same competition,

479
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 3: in the same team. Does he want to go and

480
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: start a family and if he wants to, there is

481
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: an opportunity to go and play.

482
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: Idea.

483
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 5: Would you move to the north North of England with.

484
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: A love of my life? Absolutely?

485
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 5: You know I'm an old romantic.

486
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: I would go.

487
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 4: In a flash, Gordon, we need some music game Flash Gordon.

488
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: Google, You'll be you know what when he announced it

489
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: in a couple of years, he's going to play.

490
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 2: He started a couple of years.

491
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 4: Now you said, I said sooner rather than later.

492
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, then we'll see.

493
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 7: He's not going anywhere.

494
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: He's not going anywhere. What do we.

495
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 4: Three cold beers?

496
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: Three? What about Ricky's ambush?

497
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: The Raiders were the most impressive team to come out

498
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: of Las Vegas.

499
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: The way that they played was scintillating. It really was.

500
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: I think it shocked us all. We didn't expect that.

501
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: They were fast, they were clinical, and they had off flows.

502
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: They were a different team, you know, the young The

503
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: evolution over the preseason of players that have clearly taken

504
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: their games to a new level over the off season

505
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: was evident.

506
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: It was great to watch. I loved it. What did

507
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: you guys think I.

508
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: Thought it was sparkling. It really ignited the stadium, didn't it.

509
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: Because the previous game over there, Wigan were up by

510
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: thirty eight points, So someone a team needed to really

511
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: spark the crowd, and it was the Raiders. As you said,

512
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 3: Bak clinical. Their passing was put at their speed. Ricky's

513
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: really put together a brilliant young team down there, a

514
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: bit of experience and I think perhaps in the next

515
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: year or two they could be knocking on the door.

516
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 6: I'm thought it was going to be a battle of

517
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 6: the big boys in the middle right because of Papa

518
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 6: and Tarpnay versus Fisher Harris. It was the smaller and

519
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 6: grateful and that's what I noticed, like the speed, the

520
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 6: way the Raiders played and just been able to find

521
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 6: their gaps.

522
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 5: And Savage was unbelievable.

523
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 6: I think he got he got engaged at the Lagi

524
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 6: Fountain and scored a couple of great tries.

525
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: Savage had a great season last year. Joey Topitten got

526
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: their part of the year, but he wasn't far behind.

527
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: And I remember speaking to Ricky at the start of

528
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: last season. He said, I remember saying, this is you know,

529
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: the fastest backs we've had here at the start of

530
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: last season with all these young guys coming through and

531
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 3: they just had speed.

532
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 7: Ye maybe since.

533
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: He has he's built this team and that's what I

534
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: really admire about what they did.

535
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 7: And then they went over there.

536
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: And the style of footy they played, and you guys

537
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: brought it up in commentary.

538
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 7: There were so many offloads.

539
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: But even when a few of them went bad at

540
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 3: this time of the year, teams you said it last night, Gordon,

541
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 3: you put the ball under your arm and you tuck

542
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: it in and you try not to make mistakes. They

543
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 3: went the other way, and even when there was a

544
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: few mistakes, the young guys continued to back themselves and

545
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 3: it just really took the energy out of the warring.

546
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: It was great. Tom Starling was great and Savage Savage.

547
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: Savage has always had the ability to speed, the pedigree.

548
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: He's like a race horse.

549
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: The last couple he's been to be green, right, so

550
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: he you know, he's come up with errors at times,

551
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: like they put the blinkers on, and this year he's

552
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: just he's just ran straight, hard and fast and killed them,

553
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: not only with his finishes, but even coming out of

554
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: his own en he looks like he's put a bit

555
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: of size on. He was making meaters at ease and

556
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: getting those quick play the balls and Starling, who's quick

557
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: and elusive at the best of times, off the back

558
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: of those offloads, huts and young and looks strong and powerful.

559
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's only round one, but great signs for

560
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now, Ricky, you know, he looked like he

561
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: had a bit of an.

562
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: Astra grind after the game. He does, he always does, but.

563
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: We always know he likes. He likes to have his

564
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: back against the wall. That's the mentality he thrives off it.

565
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: He did it again right like that was his Well.

566
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: It would drive him mad because he loves Canberra so

567
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 3: much and he knows that the young talent that's he's

568
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: working and building here. And when he sees someone, and

569
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: it might just be one person, put him as a

570
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: wooden spurner, suddenly it's everyone in the media.

571
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 5: So does Ricky hold grudges.

572
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure fantastic how he uses them?

573
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: He needs that. Everybody needs.

574
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 7: Years.

575
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: That's what he is.

576
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 5: It's always been us with him.

577
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 2: Wayne.

578
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 6: Wayne is exactly the same. Wayne actually has won't give

579
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 6: us a chance, but not as much as Ricky. Ricky

580
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 6: talks about it more in the media, where Wayne is

581
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 6: more in the dressing room.

582
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 3: People don't give the Raiders a chance, though, and I

583
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: think that's what's impressibly. They find it very hard to recruit,

584
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: like top shelf players just don't get them. They have

585
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: to build from the ground up like Penrith have done.

586
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: And he can see the fruits of that labor coming

587
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: through at the moment.

588
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 7: And I'll tell you the other.

589
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: Thing that I was really struck with this Raiders performance

590
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: was the defense, the stealing their defense, the energy, the

591
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: just the aggression. And in past years it's always been

592
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 3: a bit of a problem for the Raiders. They finished

593
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: off last season so well with some big wins, but

594
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: that was the other thing.

595
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 7: They just held that line the other day.

596
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: I love their half Strange. He was really good last

597
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: year and in this game. He went a bit under

598
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: the radar in this game because everyone else was so good.

599
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: But for a young half, Jesus well beyond his years

600
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: and he's a player in the future.

601
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: Well he's a great player now, but he's only going

602
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: to get better now.

603
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: The tarpening incident, the suspension, we spoke about that on

604
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: last night show with buzz Ricky wasn't too happy with it.

605
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: It is a bit contentious. Was it too severe the

606
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: suspension that he did get.

607
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: I think a syndhym was enough.

608
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 3: Look, if we're going to start suspending star players, can't

609
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: do that, okay, the word star out. If we're going

610
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: to start suspending players for that kind of tackle or action,

611
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 3: we're gonna have a lot of players on.

612
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 4: The sideline all year.

613
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 3: And I don't want the game to be robbed of

614
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 3: big name players or any players through instance like that.

615
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 4: Gordy, that was enough.

616
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: That's a soft one break.

617
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.

618
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 4: I look at that series.

619
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: It's a shoulder charge right, there was no but that's

620
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: that's what it is.

621
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 1: So are we saying that we would have all been

622
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: happy with the sinbin and that's it?

623
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

624
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

625
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: The problem for the NRL Low Dog is that they've

626
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: they've put this rule in place. This shoulder charge has

627
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: been outlawed for some time, and it came about for

628
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: very good reasons because it was a dangerous tackle. But

629
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: in this instance, I don't think that was a terrible

630
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: shoulder charge.

631
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 5: Shoulder charge, no clash in the head.

632
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: And suffice and when you when you lose a player

633
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 3: for two weeks for that tackle, and I'll go on

634
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: to the next one where Savage cops a week for

635
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: content act on the on the kick.

636
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: Again, Look, it's a penalty, that's what it is.

637
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 7: These suspensions are over the top.

638
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: We had it with Jared will We were hard graves

639
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: last year where he paid the price for his bad

640
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: record and there was a tackle where he got was

641
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: it four weeks.

642
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 7: And it just didn't deserve it.

643
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: There's contact with a leg cruils. Again, my argument, if

644
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 3: we're going to rub players out for that, we're going

645
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: to have a list as long as a suburbs.

646
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 5: You can't hit both you're a kicker. This is a

647
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 5: tough one.

648
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't make contact with the leg.

649
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: I understand on report, but I find it hard even

650
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 1: you know, obviously players get severe injuries when you know

651
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: the defenses attacked the league, right, but that this is this.

652
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: Is really there's got to be some discretion break sure

653
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: where they used to zoom in and die.

654
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: Of course he was he wasn't really intending like a

655
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: missile on taking his legs out or anything. The pressure

656
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: it was key pressure. So it's a bit of a

657
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: gray area. And that one's hard to judge. And you know,

658
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: I think we'll probably be arguing about this for the

659
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: rest of the year.

660
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: But steak around shame. It is a shame to steik around.

661
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: Plenty more to come after the shower with Stephen Crichton

662
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: in that special edition of Face to.

663
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: Face Captain of the Year last year, how did you

664
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 3: take to it like a duck to water.

665
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 9: I'll be honest with you, I kind of lost myself

666
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 9: at the start. It was a mad lesson for myself

667
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 9: to lead myself before I can leave the team.

668
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: Blake just put it on CD.

669
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 9: This lesson is probably the lesson I give to a

670
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 9: lot of the younger boys right now, and like, you're

671
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 9: not as good as you think you are. And up

672
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 9: until then I was really relying on my talent. After that,

673
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 9: every rep at training I went one hundred percent in

674
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 9: everything that I did Stephen.

675
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 5: Set up.

676
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 9: I'm always pinched myself at the position that I'm in

677
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 9: right now, but trying not to dwell on it too

678
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 9: much as well. I'm still young and the sky is

679
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 9: the limit to
