1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: And okay, you'll be ready to go. We're ready to go.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Grand Final, done and dusted. What what a season means? Oh?

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: What a great season of rugby league.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: One of the greatest seasons that I've seen, without a doubt,

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: the greatest final series I've seen, and one of the

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: greatest Grand finals.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but the final series has just been amazing,

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 2: the best, breaking all the records the AFL.

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Been, some of the games in the finals, some of

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: the best games I've ever seen.

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every every Broncos game was scintillating. Every

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: single Broncos game. They here's a stat that someone told me,

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: because they had a punt at the Grand Final on

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: Melbourne to be leading at halftime by nine plus. Broncos

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: haven't won a first half in any finals game they've had.

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Right, I'm going to get to that. Oh one second,

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: I've got some stuff for you. Got to go with

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: me on it.

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: I'll go with you to the depth of hell with legend.

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Geez. That's a change of attitude. Firstly, first, before we

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: get on all the football stuff, Teddy swim m man,

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm a believer.

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Live at the ground. They pump

24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: the they pump the speakers up loud, and it was amazing.

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: I was, I was on the edge of my seat

26
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: because live you can kind of not get much of

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: a vibe for it. Sometimes it's but someone with that

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: sort of vocals, he was blowing that place apart where

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: he was unbelieved. When he did TNT ac DC, it

30
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: was like the whole place was just up on their feet.

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: It was gone. It's fantastic to do that, like you know,

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: how to do that, to pay homage to one of

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: the country you know, one of the country's greatest.

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: It always annoys me how some artists, like obviously their

35
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: labels will tell them, I play this song because we're

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: trying to promote this album. Promote that. You know what's

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: going to promote your album and get people like you

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: if you just put in a good performance of people enjoy.

39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Play your crowd exactly, play your greatest songs, and that's

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: what introduces people to your music. From there they discover

41
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: all the other stuff.

42
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like even to do TNT, like it'd be

43
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: very people just do their songs out of out of

44
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I suppose to promote themselves. But to chuck in TNT,

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: that was that was the icing on that man's cake.

46
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: Teddy swims, take about.

47
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: Take about? And what a kilt? Enjoy the kilt, by

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, lovely navy blue like checkered kilt.

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: I know when he ripped that off, I was worried.

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: I thought, Teddy, there are kids in the crowd.

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: Teddy, look at those calf muscles.

52
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: Holy to Bully. Yeah, he's a Tabully is an excellent condiment.

53
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: Okay, the game, Well, I don't have it on my kebab.

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: When I have it, I just I don't. I just

55
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: find it too.

56
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: I get the light, I get everything on my kebab, now, tomato, onion, everything,

57
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: and then I go garlic sauce, barbecue sauce, sometimes even

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: sweet chilli.

59
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: I find I find the garlic too strong. I go

60
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: the tomato, or go the onion. I go everything else.

61
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't have the bully Polly, and I have the

62
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: barbecue sauce.

63
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Because I I After the Grand Final, I had a

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: couple of schooners. And then on the way back, I

65
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: was going a kebab and the hours and a lady

66
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: was in there and I was asking what she gets

67
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: on it? She only gets aoli. And I had some

68
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: stern words to it. I took that quite offensive and

69
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: did I go over the top and maybe say things

70
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: are a little bit disrespectful? Yes, I am so. I

71
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: want to apologize to that lady. But you've got to

72
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: have barbecue sauce and garlic sauce.

73
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: Of course you do. Of course we'll not garlic sauce.

74
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: Barbecue sauce. Barbecue sauce is a one. It's a condiment

75
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: that can just just a bit be placed on everything.

76
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: Make a bow. Barbecue sauce.

77
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: Tomato sauce has to go on a pie like if

78
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: you put barbie pot on Because Harry Grant he puts

79
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: barbecue on a pie and I don't like it. No,

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: I don't like that. Tomato sauce is for your meat pie.

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: Totally agree, you know what I'm saying.

82
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Brisbane had one magnificent final series from round from from

83
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: the regular round three. They won seven in a row,

84
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: most against powerhouse opposition to win the title. And they

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: were able to sustain a standard of football and keep

86
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: making great comebacks. And that is a result and we've

87
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: said this before, the old buckets, spear buckets. It was

88
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: physical conditioning, hard physical conditioning which fed mental toughness and

89
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: without that, they don't win, they can't make comebacks. Okay,

90
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: so take a bow, Madge, like feed Inkham, take about

91
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: your last couple of years have been remarkable. Let's just

92
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: talk about what he dealt with with the and what

93
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: he achieved at the Broncos. Firstly, the amount of criticism

94
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: that he wore, even before he collected the clipboard, people saying,

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: oh new South walesman coach and the Broncos give me

96
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: a break. The Blakers coached the new South Wales Blues

97
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: over my dead body. All that sort of stuff went

98
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: on and he was able to wear it and get

99
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: through it.

100
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: I wonder I'd love to get I mean, we imagine

101
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: there'll be another time where we would get match back

102
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: on the potty, but I'd love to understand the year

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: in comparison to the criticism he copped at the Tigers.

104
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: What was the difference? You know, how much pressure did

105
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: he feel this year in comparison because he was scrutinized

106
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: when he was at the Tigers. Heavily scrutinized a lot

107
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: of media attention, which ultimately ended up leaving there. But

108
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: I wonder just how much criticism and how much. It

109
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: took a toll on him at the Broncos or is

110
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: he had enough experience now where that stuff just rolled

111
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 2: off the back.

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: He just eat for unfairly. He carries this thing with him.

113
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: The people go, oh made he trains them too hard?

114
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: Oh it is? You know he he lacks empathy for

115
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 1: his players. He makes them play injured. He no coach,

116
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't think, bounces from club to club and has

117
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: to put up with that. At the end of the day,

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: he gets results, correct, that's it. Like at South Sydney.

119
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: He was southseitting for a long time and towards the

120
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: end both needed to change. Both parties needed to change.

121
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: He needed the break, players needed a different system. But

122
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: before that made he won their first Grand Finals in

123
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one. And I know, I certainly know the

124
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: set people of sou Sitting. You don't forget that.

125
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, But to you who actually deserves a rap too,

126
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: because yes, coaches can train people hard, and I think

127
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: there's only ever criticism will backlash from it when you

128
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: haven't got the playing group who buy in and the

129
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: culture that actually just go you know what, Let's just

130
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: push through this and we're going to come out the

131
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: other side of better side. Shout out to the Broncos

132
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: players because could have been very easy for them at

133
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: some point to crack the shits and then they wouldn't

134
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: be where they are if they hadn't all board in

135
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: together and they had some toxic people in there. But

136
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: I reckon the turning point for them is and what

137
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: has helped madg is Kevy got them to a Grand

138
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: Final and twenty twenty three and their leaders, particularly like

139
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: Adam Reynolds Ben Hunt who wasn't there, but he's been

140
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: desperate to get back to a Grand Final for ten years.

141
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: They are so hungry and desperate to win a Grand

142
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: Final because they all had something to play for. Yep,

143
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: they all were hurting from that twenty twenty three.

144
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, there were people laying the

145
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: bait for the players to bite on you. I mean

146
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: laying the bait going make players are off here, players

147
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: training to you know. I think at one point they're

148
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: coming eleventh and people laying the bait down for the

149
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: player going home trained them too hard. Look and the

150
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: rumors going around that the players were off him. I

151
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: asked one player in confidence, other players off him? I

152
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: wanted to know, like are they because I didn't believe it.

153
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: The stuff that i'd heard is to players role on board.

154
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: He said, nah, plays off him at all, said everyone

155
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: believes in what we're doing.

156
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they got and they got some good

157
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: cat like even even shouted to Billy Walters right, like

158
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: his old man gets sacked and Billy and his old

159
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: man are that close. Billy loves that club. He's been

160
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: he was a ball boy at that club when Kevy

161
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: and Gordie were there. You know, he's got broncos in

162
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: his DNA. Could have been very easy for him to

163
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: crack the shits, potentially even become a little bit toxic

164
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: to that group and start turning people. Boma Respectabilly at

165
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: the start of the year, and I don't even know

166
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: if he was really he hadn't cemented sort of his

167
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: spot in that team yet. But he was so hungry

168
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: to prove to match. He was so hungry of trying

169
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: to get a premiership with that side, Like they all

170
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: had such a strong attitude and you need everyone going

171
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: in the same direction to win a camp like it

172
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: is that hard to win a premiership in this competition.

173
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: And the proofs in the pudding I'll just run through

174
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: some of the stuff here just to consider some of

175
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: his achievements here. And one of the things the achieved

176
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: was the pressure of power, powerful Queensland, Rubilu Dandies hitting

177
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: him with string, strong criticism with his feet. Every time

178
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: they lost, how to defeat people come out and Bang

179
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: was back on again. You know, they could win three

180
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: in a row and all of a sudden they dropped

181
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: one or two in a row. Bang at starting again.

182
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: So we had to endure that. But injuries to key

183
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: men at key times through the season, they're able to

184
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: maintain and hold their nerve. He got men like a

185
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: Shibasaki Tyson Smoothie, which hasn't been a lot of spoken

186
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: about him, playing beyond people and maybe even maybe even

187
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: their own expectations. Yeah, and he made tough calls, I mean,

188
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: dropping stars like Sell and Koba, you know, and youngsters

189
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: like Karaphani and Dean Maron are coming into the side

190
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: who not like new of them, but made those two

191
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: blokes were just outstanding in yard is what they did.

192
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: But crucially Cooper, crucially he got his superstars playing career

193
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: best football payinhasse Ca, Tony Stags and of course oh

194
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: my god, if there was one bloke I reckon that

195
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: would not have liked Madge's methods, like how hard he trained,

196
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: and just just probably Madge is just demeanor because somebody

197
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: you look at me and Ree, they could not be

198
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: more polarized, you know what I mean. Madge is very

199
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: conservative sort of guy. Reese's guy. You know, he'll paint

200
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: his females all those things. Yet those two blokes. Yet

201
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: what he did for Reese Walsh, like got him playing

202
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: the best football screen you can see it full time.

203
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: You know how much Res appreciated that and the love

204
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: he had for me.

205
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: I think the Boys changed Madge too. I think from

206
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: the start of the year to that to watching madgine

207
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: the sheds after the game, drinking out of the some

208
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: of the like stuff they had him doing and in

209
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: the press. But they I really think that that group

210
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: made Madge realized stuff too. And I think they I

211
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: think that group, although they are all polar opposites, I

212
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 2: think they've both been so good for each other.

213
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: Yep.

214
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: And I think Madge has actually gone you know, he's

215
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: he's had big personalities before, but I don't think he's

216
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: had personality like Rheese Walsh, who is not just a

217
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: big figure in the game, but he's a completely polar

218
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: opposite personality to what is expected in rugby league. Like

219
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: he's himself. He's a rugby league player, but at the

220
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: end of the day, like he's he's completely different than

221
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: most molds of rugby league players. He's he's who he is.

222
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: He loves his social media, loves loves everything.

223
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: And a couple of things happened too through the year,

224
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: like you know, the punching in the head, you know

225
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: that one punch, there was that, and of course the

226
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: toilet thing. A lot of other coaches lost their nerve

227
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: a bit on that. They came out and said, look,

228
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: I've reprimanded him, My understand his match. Just they couldn't

229
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: give a ship. Yeah, they get on with it. Just

230
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: get on with it. It is awesome, It is okay,

231
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: go with me on this coupe, all right. This has

232
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: been crucial through the through the final series, the Broncos

233
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: will placed in situations which actually forced them to the

234
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: style of football they produce their best. That high octane, expansive,

235
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: aggressive football and the sort of football where you're willing

236
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: to make errors in the pursuit of points. Now that

237
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: they were forced into that situation. Those situations how but

238
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: let's talk about let's talk about some of the stuff here.

239
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: What forced them to go into that. It was going

240
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: into the second half's trailing by significant margins. And what

241
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean by that, people, is when you walk into

242
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: a dressing room, right and on one side of the

243
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: coin you've got a team. Let's talk about Grand Final

244
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: night here before we go through the others. Melbourne storm

245
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: a leading by ten points. Ten points is well in

246
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: mental toughness, because there's one of two things you can do.

247
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: One is you can get out there. You can say, hey, listen,

248
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: let's continue playing the same football if we've been doing it,

249
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: got as ten points clear, Let's put the clearness through

250
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: those pass go out and keep right. The second thought is,

251
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: boys that towers to lose, let's complete high. Let's kick

252
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: long right are We're going to find a way to

253
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: victory here, No silly errors. Now, which one should you do?

254
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Which one?

255
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: Which?

256
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: Which of those A or B do you do? To win?

257
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: You do a whatever? Take the meal that took you

258
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: to the top of the hill. Stay on that meal.

259
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Don't play expensive football. Be willing to take risks back

260
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: your defense to defend the errors that you might make

261
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: and pursue for points. Keep playing football. But most teams

262
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: do B. Most teams get out there and do B.

263
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: And if you look through you know that there's been

264
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: history grand finals, there's been teams that, oftentimes led by

265
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: significant margins, got rand down. Good beat eighty nine Grand Final.

266
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: It was balmains at halftime twelve to two over the Raiders.

267
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: And second half they get out there and they try

268
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: to fend their way to victory. You know, the coach

269
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: takes Paul Syrian Rachel Field twenty to go to trial

270
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: to tackle their way to victory. They get ran down

271
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: in the second half, they score two points. Even our

272
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: grand final, we're behind by eight points. I don't know

273
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: what happened in the manly shep, but now shed we

274
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: had no choice but to play open football. Let's just

275
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: get out there and get after him. We're we're chasing points.

276
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: We've got to get out. Unless we play aggressive football

277
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: a chance our hand, we're not going to win this. Yeah,

278
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: second half mainly score no points. We come back and

279
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: win the game.

280
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: It's why people, it's why it's so hard for teams

281
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: to go back to back because you've got no one

282
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: to chase apart from yourself. Like when you it's like

283
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: a marathon. It's like when you're down in a game,

284
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: you have nothing to lose because you're not the bloke

285
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: who's leading. You're not at the front of the pack

286
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: when you have something to chase, if you're chasing points

287
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: or you're chasing people like next to they were chasing

288
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: the Broncos to beat them. They're the standard. You have

289
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: something you have a real motivation to get to, whereas

290
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: if you're leading, if you're the best team in the

291
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: comp there's nothing in front of you. You don't know

292
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: what the people behind you were doing. So the only

293
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: thing that really is the only thing that sabotage is

294
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: you is yourself because you need to be able to

295
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: find motivation to get yourself going.

296
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: And I've been in I've been in a couple of

297
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: finals series where we were head by sixteen points against

298
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: the Roosters in our sheds until it happened in our sheds.

299
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: In our sheds, the coach was like, mate, we are

300
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: this close to being in a Grand Final. We are

301
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: that close. Okay, let's get out there. Let's not do

302
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: anything stupid, no silly passes. It not to play two sideways.

303
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: There's a nervousness that just ripple through the dressing room. Meanwhile,

304
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Fletch tells me in the other dressing room, their coach,

305
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: Graham Murray, the Rooster's coach, pulled a computer out and said,

306
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: have a look at this boys. And right on halftime

307
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: we scored and our winger Darren Albert went up and

308
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: kissed the camera and he said, he's taken the piece

309
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: out of you blokes. What are we going to do?

310
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: And they just went out there and went full blast. Meanwhile,

311
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: we tried to defend our way to victory. So I've

312
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: looked through the final series. Right, let's go Raiders first,

313
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: first of the finals. They're behind twenty eight to twelve.

314
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: See steam points behind, were twenty minutes to go. They've

315
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: got no choice. They've got to open up and play football,

316
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: which they did. Meanwhile, the Raiders, they suddenly just stopped

317
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: playing football to defend their lead. Broncos storm home. Raiders

318
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: don't score another point in Let's go to the Penrith game.

319
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: Similarly again, Penrith game down fourteen at half time. Now

320
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Penrith after halftime They've got a few opportunities to go

321
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: up twenty mil, but the Broncos defend. They're able to

322
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: defend that and push them off their line. Suddenly Panthers

323
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: tighten up, Broncos go on the offensive and they run

324
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: them down. Panthers don't score another point after halftime, and

325
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: then the big one again ten points down at half time,

326
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: broncoes up the ending in the second half because they've

327
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: got no point. They've got there's no other way. They've

328
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: got to play that way. Storm create chances in the

329
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: second up, but the Broncos high energy attack overwhelms them.

330
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: Broncos win. Storm don't score another point after halftime. Wow,

331
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: that's that's that. That is purely. That is purely, in

332
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, that is mental.

333
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: That's mental. And I think the biggest, the biggest point

334
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: in that match, which would have I think broke Broncos

335
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: mentally was that second that that first set out of

336
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: the second half when they come out, Munster puts a

337
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: little kick in two com with Cametha he's about to score,

338
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: which I think would have been the match, like Blower

339
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: would have, just would have just taken it to a

340
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: level where Broncos mentally, I don't think would have had

341
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: the belief that they still did only been two tries down,

342
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: But Reece Walsh comes up with one of the greatest

343
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: christ try savers on a bloke thirty kilos bigger just

344
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: slips out of to his fingers.

345
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: Incredible, incredible to talk about Walsh's performance. You know, there

346
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: is a thing they call recency bias, where you know,

347
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: each year this we see a great Grand Final. That

348
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: is that the greatest Grand Final of all time? You

349
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: know might happen next to you again. But coops, Reese

350
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: Walsh is the new Grand Final King. That is the

351
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: best performance I've ever seen a Grand from mate.

352
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: You think of Nathan Cleary a couple of years ago

353
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: against the Broncos. That was a great clutch. I think

354
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: that's the greatest clutch performance under pressure in a time

355
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: when they need it. Unbelievable. But Reese Walsh's Grand Final

356
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: performance that is the best I've ever seen. And people

357
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: saying the stats a try three try assist those stats

358
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 2: on the stats book, they're unbelievable of themselves. You get

359
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: me out of the match in any game if you

360
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: put those stats up. But what he did with the

361
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: three try savers those three trial. I was in the

362
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: Melbourne sheds after the game talking to some of the

363
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: people in there, some of the coaches, and they were like,

364
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: he saved three tries, three clean tries, two that were

365
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: certain tries if he wasn't there with two is one

366
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 2: and then Ryan Pappenhausen's won off the scrum if he's

367
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: not there, like they they're over untouched. And then that

368
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: other play with two minutes ago, Ellie Cottowa goes through

369
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: and perhaps has scored that try in countless games. His

370
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: whole career is one of the greatest supporting fullbacks. He's quick.

371
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 2: No one really mows him down while she head fakes,

372
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: Ellie balks him and then just has a huge gamble

373
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: and just smokes paps.

374
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: He bullshited Ellie very beautifully.

375
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: And another thing you see, and that the only reason

376
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: I say that one wasn't a certain try is because

377
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: one of the great pictures the Broncos line, particularly pain Hass,

378
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: pain hass, after playing huge minutes being had a massive year.

379
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 2: I reckon even if while she doesn't do that, I

380
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: think pain gets him. You can see pain coming from

381
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: a mile. He instinctually just starts heading back in case

382
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: they make a line break, which is amazing instincts for

383
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: a front rower. And he was mumm back and I

384
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 2: reckon he gets him as well. But plays like that

385
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 2: are what wins grand finals. The tries you save are

386
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 2: what wins Grand finals.

387
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: And for people there like for Reese, what he did there.

388
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: When you're bull should player act like you in to

389
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: go to and then skip to the sport player? There

390
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: is a there is just a micro there's just a

391
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: tiny little opening for you. And that tiny opening is

392
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: when the player with the ball in his hands at're

393
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: bullshitting just glances to throw the pass. That is that

394
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: micro second that you need to go and then release.

395
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: And he did it just perfectly.

396
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: But that's his instincts. Like I got another great example

397
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 2: on some of his foot instincts, that stuff that you

398
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: cannot coach a footballer. That stuff that like when you

399
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: see players take these amazing instinctual intercepts, like that stuff

400
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: that is just naturally ingrained and from playing in the backyard,

401
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 2: from playing footy locally when you're a kid. While she

402
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: has some of the greatest football instincts, which is it's

403
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 2: not in any coaching system. Coaches actually don't want you

404
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: to do that. Like imagine his box and when he

405
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: reviews it, he would look at it and go, in

406
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: our system, I don't want my players actually gambling and

407
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: doing that because you always want to hold until the

408
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: balls out of their hand. But while she takes a gamble,

409
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: and if that doesn't come off, he probably gets sprayed

410
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 2: by his coach for doing that because it's not in

411
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: their system. But when it comes off, it's an instinct

412
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 2: that you want your players to back because that's that's

413
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 2: something you cannot coach and it's something that the opposition

414
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 2: aren't expecting him to do.

415
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Great great players put more to the point, great leaders

416
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: in life know where to break the rules. Yeah, they

417
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: know you just can't. There's there's two types of players

418
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: coop who get a who get a coach sacked? Right?

419
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Two types of players. The first one is the player

420
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: who does nothing that the coach wants. Everything the coach

421
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: tells him to do, he doesn't do. That gets the

422
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: coach sacked. But the other one who gets coach sacked

423
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: is the one that only does what the coach tells

424
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: him to do. Yeah, the other ones get sacked. And

425
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: that's where coaches some coaches don't understand, don't micro coach

426
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: someone sometimes, don't get a player just because it doesn't

427
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: come off. Don't pull him back, because these guys can

428
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: come up with a situation and win and win the game.

429
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: I remember we're playing the Broncos one day and Joey

430
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: got the ball, put his hand around the back of

431
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: Alfie and just threw it over the two people and

432
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: we got it in scored, and the coach, David Wait went,

433
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: what a play? What were you thinking? Like? What did

434
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: you see? And Joey goes, I don't know, I just

435
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just it just happened, and he goes, no, no, no,

436
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: But when you got what what happened? Why did you

437
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: go round out to Delf just I don't know. I

438
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I just did it. And the

439
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: coach found that hard to believe. But that's that's all

440
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: great players do, and.

441
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: Coaches want to understand because they want to teach other

442
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: players like they want to be able to go, how

443
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: do I get that out of some of the other

444
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: players that I know have that ability? But how do

445
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: I encourage that? That stuff is just that? And that's

446
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: why a bloke like Joey who a bloke like Cameron Munster.

447
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: Some of these guys, they actually find it very hard

448
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: if you're a young player in that squad and you

449
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: go up two months or say, oh, what were you

450
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: seeing there? What we're seeing now? I was very much

451
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: like that because I love to understand the game. I

452
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: love to understand what he was thinking, so I could

453
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: write it down, I could implement it, I could try

454
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: to adapt that into other aspects of the game, because

455
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: I wasn't someone that could just do something frequently without

456
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: even knowing what it was, and here we go, I

457
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: don't know, here we go, I don't know. I just

458
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: I saw he was tired, and then my instincts just

459
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 2: took over. Like it's almost like autopilot. So they've been

460
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: playing footy for so long in the backyard that they

461
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: just their brain. It's like they just shut off and

462
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: they're just like completely an autopilot and they just do

463
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: things that other people can't.

464
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: They just back their instincts. A lot of people have

465
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: got this going into the game with that, you know,

466
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: playing a lot of football. We play a lot of

467
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: football as a kid mate. A lot of people could

468
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: carry those natural instincts into their careers, but at the

469
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: top level they won't use them. They choke on a

470
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: little bit where those guys Blacelott, Munster and Reese Walsh

471
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: trust their natural instincts and I'd just keep going with it.

472
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: Reese Wash Coup, did you think that the Melbourne would

473
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: be able to shut him down? Because if there's one

474
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: team of the competition that's proven, I reckon the last

475
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years they were able to shut down

476
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: players on a red hot run, it's Melbourne. I think

477
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: about Jared Haynes in two thousand and nine. They're able

478
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: to do it. Ben Barber Benny Barber twenty twelve, and

479
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: I thought in myself, Man, if this is a side that

480
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: can shut Rees down, it's Melbourne. But the fact that

481
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: you're on the biggest stage against Melbourne makes it even

482
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: more freaking.

483
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: And I know from being their first hand on Grand

484
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: Final week how much work they put into the key player.

485
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: I know how much video, how much the boys were

486
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: drilled in into how to shut down Rees Walz. They

487
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: would have been looking at Gainst when he hasn't played

488
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: his best, where he makes his errors. I know they

489
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: would have had such a big plan, But Reese is

490
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: that instinctually good and they were getting him quick play

491
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: the balls and at the right time when Melbourne a

492
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 2: little bit fatigued, he just could not be stopped like

493
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: he's so strong. The best part about Brisbane is and

494
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about Melbourne in a second as well,

495
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: but Brisbane are so good off the cuff at lib

496
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: and it's what Melbourne. They have a better ability than

497
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: Melbourne in that sense. Melbourne well drilled, detailed. They scored

498
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: off some really nice, well executed shapes. But look at

499
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: all a Brisbane tries. They come off quick play the

500
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: balls and then their ability to add lib and just

501
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 2: get the ball to the space to the right man

502
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 2: and do it. The best thing I saw at the

503
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: game and I saw this I was watching this live.

504
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: They had this big ship. This is when Reese whal scored,

505
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: had this big shift to the right hand side ready

506
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: Tyson Smoothie gets it. The a defender comes off a

507
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: bit sideways to put pressure on him. He plays inside

508
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: to Kobe Heathering to a quick play the ball for

509
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: him and then they still had the same shape ready

510
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 2: to go on the right side. Smoothie was calling it

511
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: literally as Smoothie passed inside of Kobe Heatherington Reesewols was

512
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: watching the ruck, knowing it was going to be quick.

513
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: He just leaves that edge and just starts swings about

514
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: thirty meters, comes over to the left hand side overcalls

515
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: it to Corey Paiks to give it to him. Just

516
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: Chargers uses his gord given athletic ability, speed and power

517
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 2: inside it beats Trentleyero beats Alec McDonald. I think it

518
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 2: was fens Off, Ryan Papenhausen and scores writer. I thought

519
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: when I watched that live, I thought that was nearly

520
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: one of the greatest like tries, that is, like based

521
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: off the cuff. His reaction straight away go boom, and

522
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: then to not even think and just go and react

523
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: and get the footy and go under the post. I

524
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: was I was blinding.

525
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: And the people he beat too along the way coups

526
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: and and I didn't realize until I watched the game

527
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: on second look where he came from. I thought he

528
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: must have been sitting behind the ruck. And when k

529
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: when Tyson's move, did a little clever little ball on

530
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: the inside to put the dent in the line, I

531
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: thought he was just coming from behind the behind the run.

532
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: Then as you said, he came swinging from the open

533
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: side and around. Have that to have that instinct and

534
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: or is it vision to go that's where the space

535
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: is going to be? Is freaking It is a mixture instinct,

536
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: but it's also football education as well.

537
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's your IQ. The only other player who I

538
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: saw that was the best at it as well, Tom Troyvich.

539
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: Turbo used to be able to just even before the

540
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: player had been tackled. He would know when it was

541
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: He was able to predict when it was going to

542
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: be a really quick play the ball, and he'd know

543
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: exactly where to be to get the space and used

544
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: to see it twenty twenty one he did it. But

545
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: even in twenty twenty three when I was there, he

546
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: was doing it, particularly at training, where he would just

547
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: be on the end of shape, on the end of shape,

548
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: see something, scrap everything, he'd overcall and he would just

549
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: get right foot on the adline and just it' alwa

550
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: just charged straight over the top of a fatiguing defender.

551
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: And Turbo's big, He's bigger than whal She in that sense,

552
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: he could actually run over the top of someone. That's

553
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: what made Walsh. She's so much more impressive because he

554
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: went straight through the middle beat about three.

555
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: Blokes and how many times we said in the podcast

556
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: in the modern game with the six again rules and

557
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: the fatigue in the middle, that's where the space is

558
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: straight over the event behind the rucks, particularly for those

559
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: quick blokes like Turbo and Blokesteal, smaller blokes, you know

560
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: that we're seeing in the game now, like you know,

561
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: even like having a Trey Fuller's an example, right, And

562
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing Trey Fuller to Reese Walsh, but Trey's

563
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: got the ability to do remarkable things and he knows

564
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: where the space is behind the ruck That's where the space.

565
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: It is starting to reward instinctual players the game, which

566
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: is what you want because Trey Fuller and debuted for

567
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: he debuted like older than most, but he was doing

568
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: that stuff in the Queensland Cup for years where the

569
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: ruckie is quite quick and it rewards instinctual players, and

570
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: it's good to see him starting to get Like the

571
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 2: game six again, it is starting to bring smaller and

572
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 2: less people who are just educated on shape.

573
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: That's bringing the stars to the four. That's why these

574
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: that's why the game is so good it coops Tea,

575
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: what was Tea? What was crucial in what Reee did

576
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: the other night and the Broncos winning the competition at

577
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: the back end of the regular season, when Adam Reynolds

578
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: wasn't there, Reese Walsh you could see he just went, well,

579
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: you know what, if I'm not going to do it,

580
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. And you start to see

581
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: him play on that sweep shape. You see him playing

582
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: a lot more first receiver, second receiver's just all over

583
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: the place. And you know he when you said just

584
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: before about you know the Broncos, the Broncos having the

585
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: ability to just play more off the cuff and willing

586
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: to take errors. That's Broncos football from the moment they

587
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: come into the competition nineteen eighty eight. That's what the

588
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: Broncos have been about, and that's they've rediscovered the Broncos DNA.

589
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: Reece Walsh has taken him back there. And another reason

590
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: that was so vital that period that rene was off

591
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: at the back end of the year was it's not

592
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: forget the other night. Reno and Ben Hunt didn't finish

593
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: the game. So Reese literally as he did at the

594
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: back end of the year. He had to carry the

595
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: team on his back and was able to do it.

596
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: And we spoke about the depth in that squad. The

597
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: depth was never been more tested than Sunday Night Ezra Man.

598
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: I thought Ezra Man was unbelievable and again energy not

599
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: what he did the footy, even it was some of

600
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: his kick chases, like chasing some of the kicks, and

601
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: then his defense like Ezra can whack. Ezra is a

602
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: really strong defender. And then even having someone like Tyan

603
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: Tyson Smoothie who ended up coming on when Benny Hunt

604
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: got knocked out. But his creativity, like he's going to

605
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: the Super League next year, which I thought was he

606
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 2: I thought when he originally signed he was way too

607
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: good to be going to the Super League. Now it's

608
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: cemented like he's a Premiership player.

609
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: I think entice him not to go. Oh, you know

610
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: what you just did then, Kurt, you actually said Tyson

611
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: like Mike Tyson, you went tython.

612
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: Tathan, you didn't.

613
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Just quickly before we move on the Broncos winning

614
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: well dounder Jack Johns. It was brought to our at

615
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: Tension from a podcast listener, Jack Johns at the start

616
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: of the year predicted the Broncos against the Storm the

617
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Grand Final repeat of two thousand and six, and he

618
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: predicted that the Broncos would win. Take about jack.

619
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: Thanks to mego yeah, actually yeah, I predicted the I

620
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: said repeat after round one we did our predictions that I.

621
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: Had an exact repeat of the two thousand and six

622
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: Grand Final.

623
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: It's a bit.

624
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 3: I was a bit tested, tested a bit through the year.

625
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: I don't think that was going to happen, but yeah,

626
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: did you.

627
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: Son of a bit?

628
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: His son of again, I wish I put money on it.

629
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: I should have done it.

630
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: I wish I put money on it.

631
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what? Oh yeah, okay, this is bad.

632
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: I've got two betting accounts, right, so one of the

633
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: betting accounts at start of the year when we had that,

634
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, when Madge got the job, after we had

635
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: that discussion with him here on the podcast. I thought

636
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: Madge going there something about him with the moment. He's

637
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: not a bit of a hot streak. So why to

638
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 1: crack at the Broncos at eight to one? I guess what,

639
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: I forgot my password on the other betting Oh I'm

640
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: trying to work out how.

641
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: You should be able to ring them up. In the

642
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: modern technology, there's like forget your.

643
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: Password, it's all sitting there.

644
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, hopeless.

645
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: I saw a bloke he can't get into his crypto

646
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: account and he has about he has like one hundred

647
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: million or something in that imagine.

648
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: I heard about the boat that's got the he lost

649
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: his he lost his hard drive, been searching for like

650
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: ten years for his old hard drive that had like

651
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 3: a thousand bitcoin on it.

652
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what I'm thinking about. Actually, did

653
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: you live with that?

654
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: He bought the dump that he's rubbish went to. He

655
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: bought it so he could go and search it for years.

656
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 5: And still that's do me back on the game for

657
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 5: one set because we're just talking about Sorry Jack, I'll

658
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 5: just turned it down.

659
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: So it made his short stint, got his win, got

660
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: he's wrap.

661
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: He's out short stint straight in ten minutes off the bench.

662
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: But we talked about the ad lip of the Broncos,

663
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: the ad lib Footye, how good they are at doing

664
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: that off the cuff. I thought Melbourne did their strengths

665
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: actually really well as well, particularly that first half. You

666
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: look at all their tries. Their tries come off some

667
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: really well executed shapes. Yeah, some shapes that they knew

668
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: were going to come off. A nice little deaf kick

669
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: for Eli Katowa, but they brought the line up, nice

670
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: kick for him.

671
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: He was good.

672
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: I thought Ellie wins Clive Churchill if storm winds.

673
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: I thought, I still think it's Reese. I still think Reese.

674
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think if you remove Urice Walsh from

675
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: and they win the Melbourne Storm, then yeah, I think

676
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: Ellie gets it and by far their best mate.

677
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: It was unbelieving that first try that they set up.

678
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: It was a really nice shift and they found Ellie.

679
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: He sort of did a little wrap around to I

680
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: think it was hugey tipped onto perhaps when Nick Meane

681
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: scored as well, a nice little weaving try. But all

682
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: of their shapes were so well executed, so well detailed,

683
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: and that the third try he set up one for

684
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: will Warbrick where they did a little shape. It's the

685
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: old Sam Thiday and State of Origin shape where Jerome

686
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: Hughes passes it. Well, it was back in the day.

687
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: It was Cooper Crunk to Sam Thriday back inside to

688
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: Billy Slater. Yep, that was the shape they were trying

689
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: to set up for the outside insight. They team's identity.

690
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: Teams defend that enough. They identified it, so the half

691
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: rather than go to Elli, stayed on the full back.

692
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: Ellie identified that and just zinged it straight out to

693
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: Will Warbrick, knowing that the other two were tight, and

694
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: then that that is a hard pass and a hard

695
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: thing to identify for a back row. Off not mean

696
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: lot of back We used to actually try to do

697
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: that shape with Felice back in the day, but like Felice,

698
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: couldn't couldn't execute it. Hopeless pass. No, but it is

699
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: so hard for a back rower who's built like they typically,

700
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: they're not built with a vision of halves. They're bigger

701
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: and they punch holes. Ellie has got so many strings

702
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: to his bow, it's ridiculous.

703
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: Before we talk more about Melbourne, Coop and talk about

704
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: after the game she went in the sheds and whatnot.

705
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: Pat Carrigan hasn't been spoken of a billy at all.

706
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: His fresh legs, full lungs after missing the week before,

707
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: he was he was fantastic mate, He he was, he

708
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: was one. He was one of the very best on

709
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: the fields. That was pain and pain just mate. It's

710
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: really funny. It shows you how busted he was, right Coop,

711
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: how busted he was. He was replaced at the twenty

712
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: sixth minute mart which is it's rare got him off

713
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: and he went back on the fifty fifth minute and

714
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Second stint, but that's a fair stint for Pain.

715
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: That just shows me of how how he's been carrying injuries,

716
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: the load he's been carrying, and that Madge recognized that

717
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: and just reduced his minutes for more impact.

718
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: I like that, and I've always been a believer in

719
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: even what the Gold Coast do with like Tino Fasti.

720
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: The I don't want to say the worst clubs, but

721
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: the clubs who are very reliant on one or two,

722
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 2: like big name forwards, they play them for too long

723
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 2: and they're become ineffective. I think this year Madg has

724
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: been really good for Pain in Like, Mate, I don't

725
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: need seventy eighty minutes out of you. I'm going to

726
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 2: cut your time back to say, you know, max sixty minutes.

727
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: But what you're going to do in that sixty minutes

728
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: for me is you're going to be as fresh as

729
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: possible and you're going to be high energy. And I

730
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: want more impact from you rather than just a consistent

731
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 2: port Gallon performance, because Gal will get out of there.

732
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 2: He'd make fifty or sixty tackles and he would grind

733
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: out like as much work as possible, like in the

734
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 2: modern game. And when you have those big power athletes

735
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 2: like Tino, like Pain, I don't think you eat him

736
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: for even if they can, you don't need him for

737
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: that long.

738
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: Coop hats off to blokes who make fifty and sixty

739
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: chatholate games that they are incredible, but then they're not

740
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: explosive players. Yeah, and like paying second stints this year

741
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: have been monumental. Been one of the secrets, one of

742
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: their secret sources made him coming off. I thought he

743
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: was fantastic and I thought, Zavie Wilson, hasn't he been

744
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: a fine Yeah, I thought, I thought, coming back from

745
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: his injury, he's been fantastic and.

746
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 2: He's been awesome, and he's making his Kiwi's debut as well.

747
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: It could have been in that New Zealand side, so

748
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: I shout out to him.

749
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the other at football in

750
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: a second. But Coop had with the boys in the

751
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: sheds after the game.

752
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: It was it was it was sad, like I was

753
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: in there last year as well, had a arm but

754
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: last year, I think, you know, getting beat by Penrith.

755
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: This year really hurt, like to go back to back losses.

756
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: And I've been in the I've been a part of

757
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: playing squads in twenty eighteen against the Roosters when we

758
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: got beat and that was. When you're in a playing squad,

759
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: it's it's hard to gauge like losses suck because you're

760
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: training all year to get to this moment, you know,

761
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: all the work that people got into. And then I've

762
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: been a part of winning ones as well, But I

763
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 2: actually found this one the hardest one because when you're

764
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 2: not in the playing squad and you see how gut

765
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: wrenching the boys are hurting, like what do you say?

766
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: Like it was, it was actually really tough in it,

767
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: and it was the boys were I haven't seen the

768
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: boys that shattered in a while, Like it was. It

769
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: was very sad vibes in there. I actually found like

770
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 2: I did find it hard to talk to a few

771
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: of the boys straight after, just because like you don't

772
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: know whether you want to lift the spirits up or

773
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: you don't know whether you want to just keep them, like,

774
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: just talk to them about how shit the feeling is.

775
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: Well. I was in the I was doing a little

776
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: bit of halves coaching of the Melbourne Storm. Was in

777
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: the sheds aft think I'd be forty nil by manly.

778
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: What was that? Probably a little somber, Yeah, I imagine

779
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: fair to say they're just sort of hiding in the

780
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: corner a little bit avoiding belly ache. Yeah, yeah, how

781
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: were they because oftentimes players are absolutely heartbroken and the

782
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: heartbreak doesn't go away, it just gets it just getting

783
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: gets numbed when you start to have a few beers.

784
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: How were they back to the hotel having a few drinks?

785
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: Like still still pretty sad, Like I wouldn't say that,

786
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: like we went overly hard, Like I sort of just

787
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: sat there and I just said to when you are

788
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: ready to go to bed, I'll sit here and drink

789
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 2: with his too. He's ready to go to bed. Really,

790
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: because there was they had a little bit of a

791
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: post GF a vent on with a lot of the

792
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 2: friends and family and sponsors and whatnot. But I mean

793
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 2: it was very much like throughout there'd be there'd be

794
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: there'd be half an hour spurts of like you know,

795
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: having a laugh, having a laugh, and then the next

796
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: half an hour one of the boys go we lost that,

797
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: man like, and then they relive those moments back over

798
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: in your head. I do not miss that feeling of

799
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: like you're reliving one or two movements where you think,

800
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 2: oh I could have done that, or like oh we

801
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: had them here but we didn't do that, like yeah,

802
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: so yeah, like to lose it. I was in the

803
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: uber home, I was, I was sitting there and I

804
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: was thinking, we don't reward like, we don't really reward

805
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 2: silver medals in in team sports, like in teen sports.

806
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 2: We don't like either your win or you're like basically

807
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: your wooden spoon, like it doesn't really matter.

808
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: In fact, they hit sometimes they get more maligned than

809
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: the teams who lose the qualifiers.

810
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking, like, would you rather than get

811
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: beat in a prelim because you still had a great

812
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: year than getting beat a grand final? Like not many

813
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: people can say they've played in two Grand finals. I

814
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: know they've gone back to back losses, but like the

815
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: hurt and the heartache, like there is there is not

816
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: much There is not much reward for getting there and

817
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: getting silver anymore, like.

818
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: Those of the week itself, leading in I mean, it's

819
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: a great week, leading in all ccelerations. But you're right

820
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: how it finishes, like I imagine, it tends to be

821
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: the thing you remember, like.

822
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: Heindi, Hendy played in one or two Grand finals. I

823
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: played in two, and I'd like, I wonder in hindsight,

824
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: like it must be. I was actually feeling a honding

825
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 2: because I was going, everyone takes a piece out of

826
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: hand if you not winning one. But seeing the boys

827
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: after that game lose to lose to like it must

828
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 2: be tough. I wonder if Hendi ever wishes like he

829
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: just didn't make one full start.

830
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: Heindi says all the time, says to Flitch and I

831
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 1: and he said, I'm not kidding, he said, I actually

832
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: just I can't stand ground. Final day, he said, when

833
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: they hand out the trophy at the end, he said,

834
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: I leave the room anyway. Fletch, a bloke Fletcher a

835
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: made of Fletchers, took a photo at a pub where

836
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: it was pumping and as they were giving the traphic,

837
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: he took a photo of Heindi, HENDI looks so sad.

838
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 2: Oh I looked so sad.

839
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: All these people are jumping around having a great time

840
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: for he's just sitting there.

841
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 2: It's funny the person smoke packets postgame, like we jumped up.

842
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: We jumped on like a bus back to the hotel,

843
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: and some of the Broncos families were walking to the

844
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 2: but like their buses was picking up from the same spot,

845
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: which like timing wasn't perfect at that time. But I

846
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 2: was walking back with Billy's brothers, Jet and Harry Harry,

847
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: and because I played with Billy so I know the

848
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: family quite well, and I'm walking back and Harry was

849
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: that excited baite. Harry was screaming and he's walking surrounded

850
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: by like fifty of the Melbourne Storm friends and family,

851
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: and he's going, we did it, Coops, we did it.

852
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: And I'm going don't say we did it, because I'm

853
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 2: going back to.

854
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: The Melbourne going, oh god.

855
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: I remember Harry's mother and dad were looking back on

856
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: who's this one cup and I was like, that's not me,

857
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: it's Harry. But yeah, like I can't imagine the celebrations

858
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: that they're having up there at the moment.

859
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: Deserve what what? What a year for prisoner sporting teams

860
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: and the AFL? What else was there? There was something

861
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: else as well. They wont Someone pointed them all out

862
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: to me. It's just you remember Bulldog reached in the

863
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: middle of the year. They won the Origin as well

864
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: and Bulldog of the Year just coming. What a terrible

865
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: what a terrible year for sporting teams just went boom

866
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: boom boom boom boom.

867
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Queen he goes in Queensland Cowboys. Yeah he started

868
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: rat like hammering all the Queensland and.

869
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bullog's curse, the Bullogrichy curse.

870
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know the Queensland side. Instead of tell

871
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 2: you what I think, it'd be a great time, to

872
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 2: a great week to be a Queenslander up there. It'd

873
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: be fun. I can't imagine Reecee Walsh because he was

874
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: a star before, right like while she was a big

875
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: star before. Obviously people loved him, not just for his

876
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: football ability, but like his swagger, his energy, his good

877
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 2: looking young blokes. A lot of a lot of girls

878
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: love him. So he's had a big following on social

879
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 2: media and whatnot. But up there now, after that performance,

880
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: the best game he's ever played, he will never buy

881
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: a beer in Queensland again. I will guarantee that.

882
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: What he's in for this next twelve months, Like I mean,

883
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: it was rees Mania anywhere it went anyway, Like you

884
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: know when they went to Newcastle for that week on

885
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: every training session the ground so they went was just

886
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: they packed sold out nights fans just to suit most

887
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: of them. See Reese Walsh And so what's going to

888
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: be next year? Like, because he's just gone to another

889
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: straight fear again. I can't wait to see the reaction

890
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: he gets in England. He will make a big splash

891
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: over there.

892
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: I not not that I worry for him or anything,

893
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 2: but I hope he's. I hope he's because a lot

894
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: of people will start just just suckling at the teat

895
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: of Reese Walsh. I really hope that he gets because

896
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 2: the only other comparison I can give to that sort

897
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: of stardom was Cameron Munster twenty twenty gf into probably

898
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: the greatest Origin performance series ever. Coops and Money. Money

899
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 2: really struggled the next year. He enjoyed himself over the

900
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: off season, but he really struggled. I think mentally really

901
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: struggled the next year as well. Given he's like his

902
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 2: profile went through the roof, flow absolutely through. He still

903
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 2: gets brought beers over there from his twenty twenty COVID

904
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: performance and.

905
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: I think even but I think money would say, I reckon,

906
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: it's only about half what Ree is going to get.

907
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think about half who I compare it to.

908
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: I think what's waiting for him this year as far

909
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: as national stardom probably warning.

910
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, it's gone past regular

911
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: because Nathan Clear has been huge profile as well, But

912
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 2: this is another level again because there's.

913
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: More than football. That's his swagger and attitude, that's his

914
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: rock star looks, all those things people just love. But yeah,

915
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: your spot on. I think the Broncos be there now,

916
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: going right up. We're going to just put some things

917
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: in place because this is going to start to get

918
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: fucking crazy.

919
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 2: Well, I reckon it's more his manager, because I think

920
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: Broncos are going to want to They're going to want

921
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: to cash in on whilst she's brand a little bit.

922
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: I think it needs to be a little bit of

923
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 2: like he needs to get looked after by his management

924
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: and like helping him with the right direction. But also

925
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 2: like if I'm him, you'd want him almost bumping blokes

926
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: like Munster and be like mate, like a bit of

927
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: advice from leaders have been there in that similar position before.

928
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: But for the Broncos, it's about like every way, every

929
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: away game, like getting off the bus. It's like it's

930
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: sports version of boodle mania. So Jack, oh, Jack, I.

931
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 3: Was just going to say too, did you see that

932
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: when the stock market opened on Monday or Tuesday? I

933
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 3: can't tell because of the long weekend, but see the

934
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,479
Speaker 3: Broncos share price went up by fifty cents incredible after

935
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 3: the win.

936
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: So it's it's worth one hundred and eighty million now.

937
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 5: The club, it was, yeah, well they're they're they're the

938
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 5: biggest brand in NRL. They've got like they smash everyone

939
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 5: out of the water in terms of members, like out

940
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 5: of the game.

941
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 2: I can't. I was doing some stuff out there with

942
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 2: JARCHI pregame interview on some of the punters. Mate struggled

943
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: to find a storm supporter in Manly yesterday. Yeah, Mate,

944
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 2: I went in Manly yesterday to catch up with mate.

945
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 2: Poor old Harry Grant, even through his in the depths

946
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: of his heartache, he sent me a text early in

947
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: the morning, Mum and Dad are going over to Manly tomorrow.

00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 2: as I text text the pig of course that's his nickname,

951
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 2: his dad. Yeah, but he is an In fact, ap.

952
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: Pig was there with with his brother mate. What about

953
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: how they talk to each other. So Pig's here with

954
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: his Harry's uncle, who's his brother. They just one They've

955
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: only got one name for each other's cocked.

956
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:10,080

00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't drink a lot.

962
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 2: But it's not just them, mate, because I spun this yard.

963
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: Remember when me and Harry were up to port earlier

964
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 2: in the year to see his grand pig, to see

965
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: Pig's dad, Harry's grandpa. It's they go up there once

966
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: year playing the Cockhead Cup, which is a golf day

967
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: that they all do up there. But the brothers everyone,

968
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: He's got a brother whose name monkey unless his nickname.

969
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: Obviously they got pig Monkey, they got Billy John, and

970
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: they got George and every they all talked to each

971
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 2: other's game cockhead, Hey, coh.

972
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: See someone took a sign to the game Harry's mates

973
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 1: when you put your hand up if you think Harry

974
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: is a.

975
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: Cocka mate they do that every big game. Harry's in.

976
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: That guy and his name's Nell aka the Tadpole. He

977
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 2: the Tadpole makes a sign in his Iride first Origin

978
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 2: series he said Harry's a wanker, and then the following

979
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: Origin series made another sign that said Harry is still

980
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 2: a wanker. Like my favorite ever sign is Sammi Verrel's debut.

981
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 2: All the boys from Avalon went up and they had

982
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: a sign and said sam Verels likes Blue car Keys

983
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 2: but like a play on words of Boka keys and

984
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 2: they but they put it on the coverage. They put

985
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 2: it on the because obviously they came am and didn't

986
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 2: know what they were like getting at, and it was like,

987
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: there it is, look at Sammy Belle's friends have found

988
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 2: me out there advertising the Blue car kis.

989
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: Oh merely yesterday made Broncos fans people traveling over to

990
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: New Zealand for the game as well. Yeah, kiwis everywhere,

991
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: but Broncos fans.

992
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they were saying about a Sydney team, I

993
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: wonder what it's going.

994
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: To be like. It's awesome.

995
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 2: Who made the game has not been stronger in everywhere.

996
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: And big thank you to the Whollow Sport Boys, to Jacko.

997
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: Me and Jack went to the Stain. We did a

998
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: bit of stuff there with the Hallow Sports Boys, Tommy

999
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: and Eddie fantastic.

1000
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 4: There was a live crew down there. There are their listeners.

1001
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: I was.

1002
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 4: I was in there in the lineup beforehand.

1003
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 3: As it was getting started, and Ge Whizz was about

1004
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty of them just ready to go.

1005
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 4: I reckon. I would have hated to be in the stain.

1006
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 3: Beyond six o'clock because it was three beers and they

1007
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: were all lathered up at three o'clock.

1008
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: Painters they called punters and dribblers and dribblers. It would

1009
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: have been dribbling.

1010
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Like with that late Grand Final.

1011
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 2: I got out to there, I got out of the stadium.

1012
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 2: I did be out there for three point thirty. People

1013
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 2: were that maggot. I have not seen so many drunk

1014
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 2: people in one place. I was going, the game's got

1015
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: to be earlier because some people would not have seen.

1016
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 2: I promise you now, some people would not have made

1017
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: it to seven thirty eight o'clock with how I saw

1018
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 2: them patrolling around a Core stadium at three point thirty.

1019
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 2: There were people that were literally getting carried.

1020
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but keeps now. I think you want the broncost

1021
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: to go back to Brisbane that night, like in the

1022
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: height of the and amonium. You want them to be

1023
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: able to jumple a plane quickly get back and get

1024
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 1: to Brisbane Airport where they'd just be tens of thousands

1025
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: a bit.

1026
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 2: Imagine that's what you were a love like you guys

1027
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: jump straight on the bus went back to Newcastle. When

1028
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 2: we went in twenty twenty, we couldn't go anywhere. But

1029
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: what was sick was we had a charter flight. Then

1030
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: we had to get back to the accommodation anyway because

1031
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 2: you had to isolate and whatnot back then. But being blind,

1032
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: everyone's got their rings on carrying the trophy onto the

1033
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 2: charter flight with all the friends and family, like there

1034
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: is something special about that. Having to travel the next

1035
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 2: morning when like the adrenaline starts to kick out.

1036
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: Of the systems make places so hung over it.

1037
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 2: I saw about seven thirty in the morning the Broncos

1038
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 2: boys got back to their hotel, had to pack and

1039
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 2: then go on their flight back to Brizzi, and there

1040
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 2: was that like reporters out the front, like mate, what

1041
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 2: are you feeling? And I felt for the boys because

1042
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 2: like you could tell the had just started getting sucked

1043
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 2: out of them and like the adrenaline body would have

1044
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 2: started feeling. The body was a bit soret what they've

1045
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: just been through too.

1046
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you get the physical punishment taking a throw

1047
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: on loudmouth soup in yourself.

1048
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, I've got some stuff for you. Actually,

1049
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: because I've got here, I want to there's a couple

1050
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 2: I want to show you first all the picture. Now,

1051
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen this or not, but

1052
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 2: the funny thing about this is, obviously, while she they've

1053
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: leant right into the toilet water stuff. Obviously it's performance

1054
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 2: enhancing in their eyes. But what I love about what

1055
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: match did they brought a toilet? They brought a toilet

1056
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: mug into the sheds after the game and Madge and

1057
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: while she was sculling for Rex's out of it, which

1058
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 2: I thought was funny. But the best part about it

1059
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 2: is while she would have had to have packed that mug,

1060
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: hoping that they'd won so he could do that before

1061
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 2: we gain.

1062
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly so if they got beat and he would

1063
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: have pulled him out, he wouldn't have.

1064
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 2: You couldn't. You couldn't have been caught on photo drinking

1065
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: out of it.

1066
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: If he certainly must have had a good feeling about

1067
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 1: the game.

1068
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: It was so because that you must be confident to

1069
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 2: do that. Shand Or in twenty twenty did that. Brought

1070
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 2: he bought all the goggles. You know how everyone wears

1071
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 2: the goggles now and smokes our cigars like the NBA.

1072
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 2: Shandor bored all of that, but he wasn't playing, and

1073
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: he didn't tell anyone he'd done it. He bought it

1074
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: all and had it in the sheds ready in case

1075
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: we'd won. If we'd lost, it probably would have just

1076
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: burnt it like I never want a big caught with it.

1077
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: In the eighty nine Grand Final, Kerry Hemsley was there.

1078
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: Big front rail used used to be a bike. He

1079
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: used to ride Harley Davison's everywhere he played. He played

1080
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: the first half and got replaced at halftime. He's watching

1081
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: the game in the stands by that stage. Had the

1082
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: shower he's ready to go. We're ten minutes ago. He goes, mate,

1083
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 1: this is in the bag. It might have been less

1084
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: five minutes ago. This is in the bag. So he

1085
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: went up to the dressing room and brought down the

1086
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: champagne ready and then Canberra scored.

1087
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: No way, mate, who am I thinking about right now?

1088
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 2: Fletch no, no, no, somebody see me. Thid I was

1089
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 2: out doing a talk at the locker room, which is

1090
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 2: the pub across from a call before the game. Were

1091
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: doing like a Q and a thing. Right before the

1092
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: Grand Final, Sammy Thoide said in that twenty twenty three

1093
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 2: GF when they got beat he was up in the

1094
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 2: corporates and then he went, you know, I'm going down

1095
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 2: to the sheds now and I have a beer in

1096
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: the sheds for the end of the game. He went

1097
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 2: down with that fifteen twenty minutes to go and missed

1098
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 2: all the Nathan clearage, try, try, try, and then when

1099
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 2: they come back in obviously like obviously he realized before

1100
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 2: they come back in because he would have heard the heartbreak.

1101
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 2: But he went down and was sitting in the shed

1102
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 2: sinking beers and just didn't realize that they just had

1103
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 2: formed this massive company because you look back, Ezra men

1104
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: scored three tries. They were like three or four tries ahead.

1105
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: Mate. One of the greatest stories of all time, Jacktas

1106
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: alluded to Fletcher tells, was when Fletcher was captain of

1107
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: Souths and would have been two thousand and three, two

1108
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: thousand and two or something. Anyway, Paul Ammick is the

1109
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: coach of South and they'd been having a horrid run

1110
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: and they're playing Broncos at home. Broncos are attacking their

1111
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: line with like thirty seconds to go. Anyway, Broncos come

1112
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: up with an error. Anyway, both Wayne and Lane Mack

1113
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: go well, game's over and they go. Both of them

1114
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: hop in the lift. Meanwhile, there's both of them hop

1115
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: in the lift. Paul Stringer takes a ball up from

1116
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: South Gordon gets a one on one, stool throws out

1117
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: the wing and they score. Right. Paul lang Mack and

1118
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: Wayne are in the lift going down. They've seen none

1119
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: of it right and Wayne Wayne goes, are good on

1120
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: your lingers and he's go mate, Wayne, thanks very much mate. Anyway,

1121
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 1: they go down and lame Mack goes down into the sheds.

1122
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: He can hear all the noise from the crowd, but

1123
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: he doesn't know. He just thinks they're all celebrating. He

1124
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: Fletch said, they go up the race, right, and as

1125
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: he's going up the race, Wayne's there and he go here,

1126
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: good on your Fletch, and he he thinks that Wayne

1127
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: knows they've lost. He goes fuck off. Its still being

1128
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: smart ass, right, So Wayne is oblivious to the fact

1129
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: as well. Mate. Fletch goes up, turns, goes in the

1130
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 1: south dressing room and laying is in there with Champagne gains. Yeah,

1131
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: fucking beauty. They had to break the news that beg beaten.

1132
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 2: Ah, that is all the time, that would be you CBS.

1133
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: Okay, can I ask you some just things before we

1134
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,959
Speaker 1: finish up things? I don't know if whether he can answer,

1135
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: but these are really big things, Peraps are three sixty.

1136
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: I get the feeling. I just get the gut. Philly's

1137
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: on his way out of Melbourne. What do you think

1138
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: that's a good question.

1139
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1140
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: I don't really, It's hard. It's hard to know with

1141
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 2: Paps because he is like, uh, he's quite like different

1142
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: in that sense where he could sort of like be

1143
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 2: interested by Rubby. Through sixty he went to Oakhill College

1144
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: and rugby background as well. It's hard to get a gauge,

1145
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 2: like I really actually struggle to get a gauge because

1146
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 2: I I wouldn't be surprised if you did, though, and

1147
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 2: you do get that sort of They've always had like

1148
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: a bit of a relationship where you go like bits

1149
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 2: and pieces where he's been hurt and that's sometimes they've

1150
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 2: they've looked to offload him in different times.

1151
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: I look that that does look like a bit of

1152
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: a difficult relationship at times, perhaps in the storm. There's

1153
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: been periods that you know, there was times that I

1154
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: remember they offered him around that time and no one

1155
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: took him. And then he had periods where he was

1156
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: injured and they wanted him to get back on the

1157
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: field but he couldn't. So there's there's been times have

1158
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: been a little problematic.

1159
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 2: If I had to put money on it, I would

1160
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: I'd probably go, Yeah, I think I reckon. That's just

1161
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 2: that's just my instinct.

1162
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: Okay, if he announces he's going to go and it

1163
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: doesn't start till next October, do you think the Melbourne

1164
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: storm will keep him there or do you think so

1165
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: far along a girl will go in and they'll make

1166
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: you free to go. I would say, don't want to

1167
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: lose Sewer as well.

1168
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they've got Sower anyway locked up for

1169
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 2: a little bit.

1170
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: So I.

1171
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: I reckon he go. I reckon he go, but because

1172
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 2: I think I think Rugby want him to go. Now,

1173
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 2: that's what I think the same thing with Lomax. They're

1174
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: saying if he's well, I'm pretty sure he's already basically done.

1175
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 2: I think if he goes, they're wanting him to play

1176
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 2: rugby for that six months, either in Japan or France

1177
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 2: and then get that instinct back because you've got to

1178
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: learn the gap like. They don't want it to come

1179
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: over without any sort of rugby base. So I think

1180
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 2: that the players that Rugby three sixty who want to buy,

1181
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 2: I imagine that they're going to want to get out

1182
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 2: straight away.

1183
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: Okay, who are going to put your money on? With Munster?

1184
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: There's talked or the Wallaby's looking at him, but I

1185
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: just can't see that. Okay, but Wallaby's Perth stay at Melbourne.

1186
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 1: What do you think with Munster? It sounds like Perth

1187
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: Perth will come in big for him.

1188
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised I think Melbourne. I reckon,

1189
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 2: I think he'll stay. If you asked me like six

1190
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 2: months ago, I would have I think Melbourne, and I

1191
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 2: think I think they need to figure out what they're

1192
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: going to do with Papenhausen first, because if papenhous and

1193
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 2: if perhaps is like if Perhaps says, oh, look I

1194
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 2: want to go to rugby, which if they're going to

1195
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 2: throw a lot of money a perhaps, I wouldn't be

1196
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 2: surprised if he does, because like he has had some

1197
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 2: lingering injuries around, but they could potentially shift Monster to

1198
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 2: full back and open it up for Pezzant and Hughsey

1199
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 2: in the Hearts. So that's what makes me think they

1200
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: want to. They want to. They want to sort Peraps

1201
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 2: out first. In terms of what he wants to.

1202
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: Do, I don't know. I think at this point in

1203
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: his career and he's had sort of hip injuries in

1204
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: that I don't know if he could play for that

1205
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: long term. But anyway, Nelson, Okay, Nelson, do you think

1206
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: he's about to leave Melbourne because there's lots of reports

1207
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: that he's created the storm is over. Have you heard anything?

1208
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:27,760
Speaker 2: No, I haven't heard anything.

1209
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,479
Speaker 6: I haven't really heard anything about any of those boys,

1210
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 6: they're pretty they're pretty good at keeping it like in

1211
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 6: how people think, like boys in the locker room going like,

1212
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 6: you know, talking about contract stuff.

1213
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 2: No one actually ever does. Like it's such a surprise

1214
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 2: to even the playing group when a boy goes, you know,

1215
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm actually signing here, I'm signing that, because no one

1216
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 2: really has the balls to ask people up front, like

1217
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 2: are you are you thinking about going to union? Because

1218
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: it's awkward, but I reckon Nelson will go. I think

1219
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: Nelson will go, yeah, Yeah, they've had I think this

1220
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 2: year's just been a bit of a weird like it's

1221
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 2: he's always they've always had a bit of a relationship

1222
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 2: where he's almost started in reserve grade, but then like

1223
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 2: by the end of the year has really come good

1224
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 2: and they've mended that relationship. But I feel like it hasn't.

1225
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 2: It hasn't this year given the suspension. I think if

1226
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 2: he'd come back in this that side and then hadn't

1227
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: got suspended and was really impactful in their final series,

1228
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 2: I would have said yes.

1229
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: But I think I think his sheer size, which was

1230
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: his greatest advantage under these new rules, it has become

1231
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: a disadvantage for him. Yea, that ability to get down

1232
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: against those smaller blokes and make those tackles. He's just

1233
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: clipping everyone high and yeah, some of that it's just

1234
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: body position for him. He's find it hard to get

1235
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: in the proper tackle position.

1236
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard because the game is so quick now too.

1237
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: You don't have that much time to actually react with

1238
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: your defense like you you can't. Sometimes it's hard for

1239
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 2: him to actually even get down quick enough to hit them.

1240
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 2: So it is it has been quite tough for him.

1241
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: Any final words on the Grand Final. I just want

1242
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: to do a big chip well only once again to

1243
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: the Brisbane.

1244
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 2: I want to a video.

1245
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 1: It's been oh okay the video just it's been a

1246
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: long time between the from the Golden years but all

1247
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: under the Broncos you got back there well under Magic,

1248
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: good stuff. Shout out to him what he got for

1249
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: you saw this.

1250
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 2: But the boys like while she and all that went

1251
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 2: like Instagram live, TikTok live after the game and they

1252
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,919
Speaker 2: were like, that's dangerous. I love it, but I reckon

1253
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: that's that funny because it's so good for the fans

1254
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: like who were sitting at home drunk, just like they

1255
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: were messaging all the boys going, look, take your shirts off.

1256
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 2: But there's some funny there's a there's just a funny

1257
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 2: thing where they went after Buzz roll feel quite heavily.

1258
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 5: So I wasn't sure if you'd seen it yet. So

1259
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 5: I wanted to just play one of my favorite partner. Okay,

1260
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 5: Jordan Ricky just kept going.

1261
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 7: Anyone got Jordan Ricky's had a few goes a Buzz. Yes,

1262
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 7: I've heard Buzz talk about it. But Buzz understands buzzes

1263
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 7: and old journey mate. He's pretty thick and he knows

1264
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 7: that if you're going to have a shot one way,

1265
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 7: it's a boomerang, it's going to come back.

1266
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think he has a big problem with

1267
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: it at all.

1268
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 2: It is I can't wait for them to get in

1269
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 2: to say it like it would be so funny when

1270
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 2: they get I wonder what Buzz did. I wonder if

1271
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 2: he did he have an article about them or something.

1272
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: I think it was about how through the year. You

1273
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: know he's saying about Madge, saying about you know, he

1274
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: trained him too hard and he's over the top, and

1275
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: you know Madge was critical. I'm sorry, Buzz was really

1276
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: critical of Madge of some of the training, the fact

1277
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: you took them on a boat cruise, all those things.

1278
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: I think he wrung Madge and I think Madge basically

1279
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: told Buzz to get fucked and sort of things escalated

1280
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: from there.

1281
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 2: I wonder if anyone gave him Madge's number. I reckon

1282
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 2: someone would have said. I wonder, because, like I remember

1283
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 2: when we were on Monday celebrations after the camp, we

1284
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 2: were prank calling so many people, like just so many,

1285
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 2: not like journals, but like other head coaches and ship like.

1286
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 2: We just ring them and be like and they knew

1287
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: it was us because I could hear the music and

1288
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 2: shit in the background. They didn't, no one really cared.

1289
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: They thought it was funny, but we just like spray them.

1290
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: And then I wonder if I wouldn't be surprised if

1291
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 2: some of those Bronx boys got Mago and then just

1292
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: started to prank call them.

1293
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't surprise me. The Australian cyber his name,

1294

1350
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what a squat tend to think.

1351
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 2: Ham can't play because of his shoulder too like that's

1352
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 2: that would be the great that's the best forward pack,

1353
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 2: like that is one of the best forward packs. And

1354
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 2: they've always lacked creativity in the spine. But now you've

1355
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 2: got young blokes like Katowa Lehi Hopwadi who were just

1356
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 2: setting the world on fire at the moment, any young

1357
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 2: as well. It's I wonder how they fit them both in.

1358
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. They've got to have him in there,

1359
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: but I think probably i'd say young ear be full back.

1360
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: I'd say LeHo go on the wing. But but Isaiahkatoa,

1361
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: and he's the one. Like they've Tonga have had great

1362
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: backs and they've had great forwards, but they've needed that

1363
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: spine to be right now, this bloke that's crazy, this

1364
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: bloke who is going to end up as one of

1365
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,919
Speaker 1: the greatest players of all time. He's going to wing

1366
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: mate with him steering the side. They are going to

1367
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: win a World Cup in his time there.

1368
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm exited. I'm actually very very excited to watch that

1369
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 2: tongue and somehow were playing against each other. Yep, that'd

1370
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 2: be I'll tell you right now that if people should

1371
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 2: get their tickets to that, because the atmosphere I was

1372
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 2: at that test last year where Tonga is and Australia

1373
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 2: played out of Combank and I haven't felt atmosphere like it,

1374
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 2: and that was just from the Tonguan fans. None of

1375
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 2: the Aussies were really insane anything. So Tonga and Sama

1376
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 2: are at either ends of the stadium, that'll be as

1377
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 2: good as rugby league atmosphere, if not atmosphere in the

1378
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: world as you have ever seen. I'm that excited. I

1379
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 2: could swear and.

1380
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Go on good, just do it.
