Speaker 1: All right, we're back for the Daily Telegraph Mineral podcast.
Speaker 1: Adam Mob's here and I missed the memo because Phil Buzz,
Speaker 1: Rothfield and Dave Riccio are almost in identical team outfits.
Speaker 1: Here am I not on the group chat? What happened?
Speaker 2: We just you know, look, look it's a Shyer uniform. Okay,
Speaker 2: this is what it is. We know what to wear
Speaker 2: down there, and this is the way we come to
Speaker 2: work now for the only the listeners are not the viewers.
Speaker 2: It's a what are we going with? What color?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. You tell me what shade is
Speaker 1: that light? I would have said baby pooh, brown butt length.
Speaker 3: Somewhat carriyanas normally where.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've really stepped that up, Dave.
Speaker 3: Can I just say I'm going to start this podcast
Speaker 3: my podcast by saying it's a really really important one
Speaker 3: for you two. Oh right, I think it's in a
Speaker 3: week's time. I'm sitting down to pick.
Speaker 2: My final side.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to use over the month of September.
Speaker 2: Where are we? Where are hosting? Job? He's up for
Speaker 2: grabs as well. Well, I'll just run off your hip.
Speaker 2: Just put me through the games. Buzz.
Speaker 3: This is a rare shot for you. So look, okay,
Speaker 3: I love Rudie free recipes. That's about it. Yeah, make
Speaker 3: mixed rock solid. This is his first one. He's missed
Speaker 3: all you I reckon.
Speaker 2: You know he wears no shoes on the podcast, Michael
Speaker 2: Carryanas don't doesn't wear shoes.
Speaker 3: So anyway, you're both under pressure.
Speaker 1: Well can I just get a recording of mixed Silly Laugh?
Speaker 1: And then that's one less person that Dave and I
Speaker 1: have to beat for the job. So yeah, no.
Speaker 3: Contest of saying you take it?
Speaker 2: Get rid of his laugh? There's nothing there.
Speaker 1: It covers the cracks and some performances I reckon. So yeah,
Speaker 1: speaking of which, Big weekend coming up, Massive weekend, an
Speaker 1: ultimate weekend of before the finals, lots on the lots
Speaker 1: on the agenda. And Dave, you've been across this Bulldog
Speaker 1: Seagulls on Friday night, Yeah, six pm, record crowd, massive
Speaker 1: pm game, massive.
Speaker 2: Seriously, load the bellmore was going nuts and now we're
Speaker 2: seeing the proof of what a successful Bulldog side does
Speaker 2: to the competition. Now. Currently, as of yesterday, ticket sales
Speaker 2: were sitting between thirty and thirty five thousand for a
Speaker 2: course stadium game. Hello, we know that's a bit of
Speaker 2: a struggle, right six o'clock Friday.
Speaker 3: Night now, and how many of them are manly?
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, bars don't travel No. A thousand. Imagine
Speaker 2: if the Dogs were playing a well supported traveling team
Speaker 2: now in order to break all record. Look, it's probably
Speaker 2: going to break. It's more than likely going to break
Speaker 2: any Friday night six pm crowd record and TV Yeah
Speaker 2: you're right, and the next challenge will be if they
Speaker 2: get above forty one thousand. It's the biggest crowd between
Speaker 2: a bulldog mainly game ever, wow, ever, And that's the
Speaker 2: ninety five Grand Final.
Speaker 3: This is a sensational story, guys, the rebirth of the bulldog.
Speaker 3: And you know what I really hate The West Tigers
Speaker 3: can do something similar in a few years. Mate, those
Speaker 3: street parties, Mobsie and Dave. Just see the cops, look
Speaker 3: they just see they're now finding people for excessive horn
Speaker 3: bipping at a four hundred dollars ticket. Yeah, asssive horn bipping.
Speaker 3: And look you're a horn beeper. Yeah, yeah, absolutely you'd been.
Speaker 2: I had the.
Speaker 3: Bitch some under day on the way and the Grand
Speaker 3: Parade because we were stopped at lights and the person
Speaker 3: in front of me was obviously on a phone because
Speaker 3: the rest of the cut, so I just.
Speaker 1: Had you're a horn always someone in Sydney will willing
Speaker 1: to let you know that you can move along.
Speaker 2: The cops made though, or I know, Laura completely over
Speaker 2: the top.
Speaker 4: But you saw four hundred bucks for excessive horn completely
Speaker 4: over the saw on social But when when the crowd
Speaker 4: the other week when they won up at Bunderberg to
Speaker 4: all but all but secure that finals place and the
Speaker 4: fans flooded onto the streets.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. You're twelve hundred k's away your team's and you've
Speaker 1: all jumped out. That's yeah, jeez, wow.
Speaker 2: Have a party. What a story? So good? And you
Speaker 2: touched on the West Tigers bars. I was out at
Speaker 2: like last Friday morning, Thursday night, Thursday night and against
Speaker 2: Manly and so here's a team that's challenging for the
Speaker 2: Wooden Spoon. It's a Thursday night game again against Manly.
Speaker 2: Fans don't travel and the whole joint was packed. Look
Speaker 2: if they get it right at the time, Yeah, Jino bonehead.
Speaker 2: Old club officials back in the eighties didn't want one
Speaker 2: game a week, so I thought it would affect their
Speaker 2: crowds and cost the money. Right the TV now every.
Speaker 3: Game covered mainly you know that manly croller game in
Speaker 3: the last round lobs, it sold out thirteen days in advance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, jeez, thirteen days in advance.
Speaker 3: And just about it, mate, the game is dead set.
Speaker 3: I know we have our bunker crap and we outrage
Speaker 3: and what were you saying? The blockers, field goals and inconsist.
Speaker 3: But mate, TV's ratings and crowds, it's so good.
Speaker 1: What about this? You see the West Tigers put this
Speaker 1: out yesterday.
Speaker 2: They sold out.
Speaker 1: Round twenty seven. Corporate Hospitality is sold out at Campbelltown.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1: Ahead of the Speed got six weeks. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a Campbelltown, especially if you an Earls fan.
Speaker 2: But marketing tactic to prove that this is the reason
Speaker 2: we're going to combat.
Speaker 3: Well, but you know what, and we're going off track here.
Speaker 3: I saw enough for the last two weeks the West
Speaker 3: Tigers to think if they can get a front rower
Speaker 3: with some leg speed and a bit of grunt and mangrel,
Speaker 3: you know, to replace Stefano. I think it's been a
Speaker 3: bit disappointing anyway this year. I honestly think. I'm not
Speaker 3: sure they'll make the eight next year, but I'm sure
Speaker 3: they're going to be thereabouts.
Speaker 2: We've been saying that for years. Mate. Mate, there, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you will make a massive difference. Massive. We had
Speaker 2: it on the Telly website yesterday. By the Royce Unel
Speaker 2: signed there, he's gone, he'll go there for he'll go
Speaker 2: there for three years.
Speaker 3: He had a bigger engine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your spot on and Tigers fans look like he's
Speaker 2: a good signing for you. But you get have to
Speaker 2: get more minutes out of him than twenty three minutes
Speaker 2: a game. Yeah, that's what he's got. They're good twenty
Speaker 2: three minutes.
Speaker 1: Can can I throw something else at you? Cory Hawsbrough
Speaker 1: during West Tiger's facilities, Hawsbrow and Royce Hunt have a
Speaker 1: little bit of history. Imagine them in the same Yeah,
Speaker 1: imagine them in the same team. That's a good I'd
Speaker 1: love to be there for that first.
Speaker 3: Can I notched the buzz? Yeah this week?
Speaker 2: Potential conflict prevent you to deal with Yeah?
Speaker 1: Perfect?
Speaker 3: Their stink? Thank you Wader. All right, it doesn't matter
Speaker 3: that all our listeners have already heard it. They can't develops, mate,
Speaker 3: different play different platforms share multi platform. But so anyway,
Speaker 3: we were talking about Acre record crowds and here we
Speaker 3: are about the West only because she pulled the sellout
Speaker 3: side out.
Speaker 1: Well I think you'd deviated of course before that. But
Speaker 1: big game, because look, I'm not saying that this is
Speaker 1: going to happen because the Pen's play the rabbit O's
Speaker 1: and the Titans in the final two rounds. It's not
Speaker 1: going to spark fearing anyone. But they're just they're a
Speaker 1: little off at the moment. Penrith and Canterbury. It's a
Speaker 1: million one to happen. But Canterbury keep winning, there's a
Speaker 1: top four spot there potential. But and if they beat
Speaker 1: Mainly this week, they lock in a home final week
Speaker 1: one of the finals. Yeah, elimination final, and you'll be
Speaker 1: playing whether you finish fifth or sixth doesn't matter. You'll
Speaker 1: be playing the eighth place team. Could it be the Broncos,
Speaker 1: could have been the Dolphins, the Dragons, or is it
Speaker 1: going to be North Queensland or potentially Mainly Again.
Speaker 2: I don't mind crystal balling Mobsie, but Jesus, I'll just
Speaker 2: struggle to see how the Panthers get beat by South
Speaker 2: you know, Hey, I wouldn't have seen the Raiders beating
Speaker 2: Panthers either, but you would think there's a response in
Speaker 2: Penrith now like that was pretty much a wake up
Speaker 2: call to Penrith. They're an incredible outfit and they were disappointing.
Speaker 3: They were very ordinary. But clearly when's Cleary back week
Speaker 3: one of the finals, they won't bring him.
Speaker 1: No, that's the claim, and so they tell you, I
Speaker 1: wonder if that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's a big story, big story. You go,
Speaker 3: cups are almost impossible in this era. But four what's
Speaker 3: next up from impossible?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you go back those few weeks
Speaker 1: before Buzz they were neck and neck with Newcastle and
Speaker 1: then Nathan clearly put them to the sword. Happened with Paramatta.
Speaker 1: They needed it against the Dolphins.
Speaker 3: Clear it's funny, Yeah, it's funny. You talked about Newcastle.
Speaker 3: I think they'll make the eighth.
Speaker 1: You reckon, Yes, I heard you at the start of
Speaker 1: the week. I thought that was.
Speaker 3: Well, two softish home games and they're unbeatable on our boys'
Speaker 3: day last round and even if Saint George win one
Speaker 3: of their last two, noight's get them unforn against their
Speaker 3: fifty ahead, right, so they got this week Nights tight
Speaker 3: this week, then Dolphins on Old Boy's Day and there
Speaker 3: was six bucks.
Speaker 1: Six bucks is a big price.
Speaker 3: Because I looked up the odds. So I went on radio,
Speaker 3: sorry for doing my radio. I thought, no, no, I
Speaker 3: don't bet on foot you or anything, as you know.
Speaker 3: But I looked at up to see if I was wrong,
Speaker 3: and think because the bookies are smart, they've got some
Speaker 3: George at something like a dollar fifty.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't have faith in the nights buzz I
Speaker 2: saw your column last week. It was very very heavy,
Speaker 2: wasn't it was? It was any issues with it? It's
Speaker 2: actually incorrect or no, it was a heavy spray. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: you don't think six You don't.
Speaker 3: There's someone up there you don't cop. And the last
Speaker 3: time you on this podcast, I had to deal with
Speaker 3: you over the McGuire feud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you did. We had a great origin series.
Speaker 2: You don't like field Gardener, Well, he's an outstanding businessman
Speaker 2: and he's hugely successful at running these clubs. Yes, but
Speaker 2: he has turned through six recruitment managers in five years.
Speaker 3: As I always said about him and the entertainment injurants
Speaker 3: industry with paker machines and the bistro with a good
Speaker 3: snits all and gravy.
Speaker 2: And you know one.
Speaker 3: Of those steaks should get in clubs and Chinese restaurant.
Speaker 3: There's a good one at West Chinese. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 3: grade outstanding, but he's proven nothing on as far as
Speaker 3: the football. And I don't think he's handed control of
Speaker 3: the club to Peter Parr, which he should have done.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look there's there's more. There's more storms coming for
Speaker 2: that club postseason. The roster there is.
Speaker 3: Oh well they're tapping people, aren't they.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, and a Newcastle What we're talking about finals?
Speaker 1: This you got us thought, well, no, you're on track.
Speaker 1: You said they'd make the eight. This we're talking final, starting.
Speaker 2: To talk about garden buzz A second.
Speaker 1: Buzz?
Speaker 2: Is this on the Schnitzels? Right? You like the gravy
Speaker 2: on top or not?
Speaker 1: Now you're getting off track.
Speaker 3: Sorry, you're a steady man.
Speaker 1: I just got hungry. Loved one, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Just got hungry. I like a Parmesana.
Speaker 1: Well they do a really nice one at a pub
Speaker 1: out out my way and Mark Guyer and his young bloke,
Speaker 1: the Pioneer and they charge I think about twenty five
Speaker 1: for a parmy, but you can get the toppers and
Speaker 1: there's a special toppings on there.
Speaker 2: MG.
Speaker 1: Mark Guyer and his young bloke Mad have both got
Speaker 1: one named after him, and oh yeah, very nice.
Speaker 2: The Pioneers a bit of an institution out there, isn't it? Yeh?
Speaker 2: Is that good joint? Is that your local?
Speaker 1: You know we were golf clubs. My local?
Speaker 2: Is that? Yeah? Yeah? But I like that one. Sneaty, yeah, gravy.
Speaker 2: On topic.
Speaker 1: You were saying before Rugby league, you two are going
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you something. You're on the bench for sure,
Speaker 2: a bench spot.
Speaker 3: On mixed crook your first star.
Speaker 2: Of a insecurted, secured position, I thought. Daniel Atkinson on
Speaker 2: the Daniel Atkinson of.
Speaker 1: This yeah, buzzy. You were saying before about how the
Speaker 1: book is rarely get it wrong. And even before Craig
Speaker 1: Bellamy's pressure on Monday, they had North Queensland very short
Speaker 1: and the storm at quite a price for this Thursday
Speaker 1: night's game fifty yes, because of the intimation that they'd
Speaker 1: be resting players, they went ahead and did that. They've
Speaker 1: rested eleven guys, so they'll run out against the Cowboys
Speaker 1: in Townsville without Sie Katoa, Harry Grant, Jack Howarth, Jerome Hughes,
Speaker 1: Josh King, Nelson, A Sopha Solomoner, Nick Meenie, Sean Blaer,
Speaker 1: Turantleero Twoy Kamakametha and Will Warbrick. Now this is the
Speaker 1: Storm did this last year around twenty seven against the
Speaker 1: Broncos and got them up there because they always have
Speaker 1: good record against the Broncos at sun Court. You've got
Speaker 1: an issue with the resting policy, buzz.
Speaker 3: I don't like it, no look, and I know they
Speaker 3: are they're here to win a premiership, but when I
Speaker 3: turned the TV on, I don't like watching reserve grade sides.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying the players are reserved graders right
Speaker 3: because they've obviously got a lot of talent there. But
Speaker 3: what I'm saying is it's normally their Sunshine Coast site
Speaker 3: and we're not getting value for our subscriptions. And I mentioned,
Speaker 3: you know the regional areas and the outback areas. They
Speaker 3: come from Cowboys fans and I know they're more likely
Speaker 3: to when they'll be happy when I go down to
Speaker 3: Shark Park. I go down to watch people like Ponger
Speaker 3: play when newcasts are in town. Well, when the Panthers
Speaker 3: are there, mate, I wanted to see Edwoods live and
Speaker 3: see Speed and Cleary and Louie and yeah.
Speaker 2: Buzz that there will be a player tonight that you
Speaker 2: haven't watched before. That you go, oh, geez, he's a
Speaker 2: good play. He could play a role in the future.
Speaker 3: You will, you will, you saw it, But I'm not
Speaker 3: as interested in the game date.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I saw it was still fair longer last year.
Speaker 2: And Buzz, there's a reason why the NRL is considering
Speaker 2: bringing back the NYC competition because we enjoy looking at
Speaker 2: the next gen players coming through. Well, I'll tell you,
Speaker 2: and that's what we're going to get tonight. We'll see
Speaker 2: a few Storm players that we haven't seen before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, three debutantes in that list there, Buddy on the bench.
Speaker 2: You're saying, but I like watching Grant play, mate, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you'll get to see him.
Speaker 3: You'll play finals. Yeah, Yeah, I like Hughes and Hughes
Speaker 3: we're going to get to it in a while. Might
Speaker 3: cross him to Dally yea. Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3: I honestly, whenever I turn the TV, I want to
Speaker 3: see superstars.
Speaker 2: There's more provider attracts to Look, I disagree with you
Speaker 2: because of people, because of the weight of the premiership,
Speaker 2: and that's what the that's what the goal is. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what. There's more pressure on the Cowboys tonight
Speaker 2: than the Storm. Seriously, if the Cowboys are serious about
Speaker 2: when in the camp, they have to roll through a
Speaker 2: storm side minus eleven starting players.
Speaker 1: Have to How do you feel, Dave if you're mainly
Speaker 1: who are in seventh taking and then you're watching six
Speaker 1: place North Queensland play the minor premiers, So you'd be
Speaker 1: gutted waiting without eleven players.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean you'd be gutted at this point,
Speaker 2: but you'd be hoping that the Storm can find it enough.
Speaker 3: Manly paying the penalty as they should for that game
Speaker 3: High Cup last week and the games they've changed, they've
Speaker 3: been so soft in so many games they shall be
Speaker 3: high on the ladder.
Speaker 2: That side on paper is nearly your top four side. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they weren't in my top eight, remember four? Yeah, not
Speaker 2: for me. What about Turboil against the Tigers? He was
Speaker 2: was mainly that was it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, he looked like men against He's.
Speaker 2: Gone off a little bit, hadn't he sc little bit
Speaker 2: lower form?
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be on your halves to guide
Speaker 1: that team to victory.
Speaker 2: About three nineteen year olds the Tigers, I've got the
Speaker 2: job done against DC Brooks in trouble with Itch was ridiculous.
Speaker 2: That's why I don't feel sorry for Manly this weak. Yeah,
Speaker 2: fair point. There's a little tip around the perhaps might
Speaker 2: play a bit of half back tonight and fail longer
Speaker 2: to fullback.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Well because they named Gran Anderson, who's an
Speaker 1: outside back in the seven jersey, so I thought that
Speaker 1: was interesting. They've got keeping on Keegan Russell Smith, Panthers
Speaker 1: junior who's been coming through the ranks. Melbourne picked him
Speaker 1: up when they you know, they kicked off a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago with their pathway system. They brought a
Speaker 1: heap of players from other clubs and they've got a
Speaker 1: couple of Victorians coming through, but good Panthers kids.
Speaker 2: So I reckon chef. Was there a chef Peter Russell?
Speaker 2: Someone Peter Russell Clark. Have you seen the outtakes on recipes? Yeah?
Speaker 2: With the beard Russell Clark, that's how it went jingle.
Speaker 3: Well, that's when I saw the Russell high.
Speaker 2: I think Fletching did a did a Peter Russell Clark
Speaker 2: of a piece tap thing.
Speaker 1: Well, you have a look on YouTube. There's some bloopers
Speaker 1: where he swears like a sailor because he keeps It's hilarious.
Speaker 2: I've seen that. Very good google Peter Russell Clark swearing.
Speaker 3: I heard Tyrone Wishart on SCN when I was in
Speaker 3: the car yesterday being interviewed for their drive chout, and
Speaker 3: he spoke a little bit about this fella. But Tyrant
Speaker 3: Smith is such a wi Wichart is such a good talker.
Speaker 3: He was a good interview him on half for an hour.
Speaker 3: It just kept going.
Speaker 2: It was really good. I said to Saint Georgie La
Speaker 2: Laura power Brokers the other day, how the hell did
Speaker 2: they not get Tying Wishart back to his home club? Seriously,
Speaker 2: they letting go. I get it like you would Ben
Speaker 2: Hunt going in playing salary caps your salary cap at
Speaker 2: the time, and he and the kid wants a pathway
Speaker 2: through the NRL.
Speaker 1: But now has he got a pas just getting back? Seriously,
Speaker 1: he's feeling in. He named hooker this week?
Speaker 2: Did he playing the wing?
Speaker 3: He's a really lively smart player and yeah.
Speaker 1: Intelligent footballer.
Speaker 2: Buzz. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, this is the thing. This is the Storm
Speaker 1: side that's got so far logo on the wing. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they can't fit him into the seventeen.
Speaker 2: And it's a funny thing. We think the Storm resting
Speaker 2: players and then therefore rolling the arm over tonight. But
Speaker 2: try and tell Tyrone Wish to run soft. Yeah you know,
Speaker 2: I just love them at full strength, this club, Yes
Speaker 2: I really do. And I tell you who I'm a
Speaker 2: massive fan of, and I reckon he'll play Origin the
Speaker 2: next two years. Is Jack Howeth? Oh in the center.
Speaker 2: So he's a late bloomer, isn't he because he huge
Speaker 2: boom on him and then he went juice is tough.
Speaker 2: He's like Swali he cried and those sort of blakes
Speaker 2: he's made. He's a very good player.
Speaker 1: They didn't rush him. They he took a bit of
Speaker 1: time in Cup, in host Plus Cup up and Queensland
Speaker 1: Cup last season and he only got that one inner
Speaker 1: l game in Queensland Rapers. Yeah yeah, and they rested
Speaker 1: that in round twenty seven last year. Got that little
Speaker 1: nod and he'd flick between center and back row and
Speaker 1: I think he had a bit of trouble with his
Speaker 1: defense and you look at him now and wow, the
Speaker 1: reason they had him on that five year deal on
Speaker 1: good market so physical too.
Speaker 2: I heard Craig Bell let me talk about him about
Speaker 2: four weeks ago, and the question was asked, you know,
Speaker 2: why is Jack Haworth now here in the NRL, Like
Speaker 2: was it taking so long? And Craig couldn't have been
Speaker 2: more honest, and he said, Jack decided to be an
Speaker 2: NRL trainer and I train like an NRL player. And
Speaker 2: Craig was emanating that in pre seasons gone by, I
Speaker 2: just wasn't willing to put the work in.
Speaker 3: I tell this story the other week that when I
Speaker 3: went down did that monster interview and he came clean
Speaker 3: and got everything up his chest about his horrible gambling problems.
Speaker 3: And Grog and Melbourne have a rule when you walk
Speaker 3: into their football office, if you don't know someone, you've
Speaker 3: got to go to walk over and introduce yourself and
Speaker 3: say hi. So first off, I'm torrant Wish. Then next
Speaker 3: Boak comes to good Day, I'm Jack.
Speaker 2: I'll never get it, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: That's culture for you, though, isn't it. That's culture building.
Speaker 1: I was at the fights last.
Speaker 3: Night and there were a couple of smarly South Sydney
Speaker 3: players and I don't have the name, but it just
Speaker 3: shows you don't have to be like that. When I
Speaker 3: say Snarley Jack Whiteton was great. He went out, he
Speaker 3: said good, I had a nice He's a champion Blake
Speaker 3: Jack Haughton.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Absolutely. The Sharks have got a similar handshake policy
Speaker 2: down at Grana. Yeah. Again, if they see some anyone
Speaker 2: for the first time in the day, they have to
Speaker 2: go shake their hand. Yeah, very quick.
Speaker 3: So I know we haven't got to the other thing
Speaker 3: I love about Melbourne Storm. Their team song at the
Speaker 3: end of the game includes all the physios, Yeah, all
Speaker 3: the office.
Speaker 2: Massive massive Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's felt like be honest yeah yeah. But they're
Speaker 3: not just a fully team, they're a fully club. And
Speaker 3: mate Roy Masters gets in the huddle. Now Roy works
Speaker 3: her opposition, but he's very close to Bellie Ache. He's
Speaker 3: a Storm stalwart and it's it's something might be worth
Speaker 3: a yarn, Dave, we get a picture still of it.
Speaker 3: Let's go through an idea mate, good.
Speaker 2: Yep, I like it. Yeah. Anyway, So what we're talking
Speaker 2: about Melbourn we'll talk have I pushed into the starting
Speaker 2: side yet, mate.
Speaker 1: This is that's handshake policy. Was that's a nice time,
Speaker 1: that's a nice yeah, okay, background listeners like background just
Speaker 1: got to get wardrobe on.
Speaker 2: You clash with the main man, can shrink your Sorry,
Speaker 2: that was very good. Do you have a look at
Speaker 2: the ratings when I'm not here?
Speaker 1: So on on the back of the storm. So they're
Speaker 1: resting guys this week, which makes you think they're going
Speaker 1: to roll them out the following week, which is bad
Speaker 1: news for the Broncos and Kevin Walters, but they first
Speaker 1: have to get through the Dolphins on Saturday afternoon, Saturday
Speaker 1: five thirty. What a game that's with so much on
Speaker 1: the line. Wayne Bennett's last Queensland Derby, well unless he
Speaker 1: takes on some Queensland expansion team as an eighty year
Speaker 1: old in twenty thirty.
Speaker 3: Was he at this house board meetings? Interesting way at
Speaker 3: the comments and the Raiders and there wasn't too much
Speaker 3: disagreement to the piece I wrote about him for double dipping.
Speaker 1: But look, the proof's there, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, no one out at twelve. Great game, fully,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't at that time, not just.
Speaker 3: The Battle of Brisbane is always a great game, but
Speaker 3: was so much hanging on both clubs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, massive, any mail on pay hearts, whether it'll play.
Speaker 2: He's trained, He's trained really well progressively this week. He's
Speaker 2: got the foot problem obviously, and what's today Thursday, he'll
Speaker 2: have a Tomorrow's the day for him. He joined the
Speaker 2: main group of the train of the Broncos training session
Speaker 2: yesterday and that's always a good sign when you join
Speaker 2: the main group, and so he basically it only needs
Speaker 2: to get through tomorrow's training session and he will play.
Speaker 2: I reckon he comes in and gets you've got to
Speaker 2: think how many minutes you'll get there, so correct it
Speaker 2: won't be massive and look look present made so totally.
Speaker 1: The Broncos sixteen kneel down against parill last week didn't
Speaker 1: look great. Fought their way back into it because a
Speaker 1: team that's just lacking star power. The Dolphins, on the
Speaker 1: other hand, they've been very underwhelming as well. I can't
Speaker 1: say the Dolphins may the eight, but then again, six
Speaker 1: weeks ago I right off the Broncos.
Speaker 3: The only reason I wrote that story on main was
Speaker 3: the scoreline the other day forty eight six. It was
Speaker 3: a thumping, not a yeah, yeah, and it sort of
Speaker 3: made me and Bennett coach sides. Four weeks they've averaged
Speaker 3: thirty eight points defense, which is.
Speaker 2: But one of the one of the opposing views I'd
Speaker 2: like to throw at you is this last year, when
Speaker 2: the West Tigers were going ordinary, we decided, we didn't decide,
Speaker 2: we were Our research shoueders and our calls to the
Speaker 2: West Tiger showed is that Benji Marshall was doing a
Speaker 2: lot of the coaching anyway, and Tim Sheens was taking
Speaker 2: a back seat. Yep, would you not argue that Christian
Speaker 2: Wolf has already got his hands on the wheel in
Speaker 2: preparation for next year, and Wayne has taken a back seat,
Speaker 2: and therefore.
Speaker 3: Well, if Wayne's taken a back seat with a final
Speaker 3: position on the line, it's a.
Speaker 2: It is It is a scandal. I didn't say it.
Speaker 3: I pulled up it's a scandal if he's taken aback
Speaker 3: when he's.
Speaker 2: Doesn't think that's a bit much like it's possible. It's possible.
Speaker 3: That's what we're here for debate. I understand what you're saying, but.
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is it doesn't augur too well
Speaker 2: for Christian and I think he's got a huge future
Speaker 2: as a coach.
Speaker 1: Look, he's got a good c V already, Wolfy.
Speaker 3: You know, but I might understand myself down after that,
Speaker 3: I didn't say it.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll go back check the table. We can we
Speaker 1: can fix this in post.
Speaker 2: Maybe Why aren't we just wait an hour rating on it?
Speaker 2: I can't believe that SPT.
Speaker 1: This is like Graves.
Speaker 2: Curveball.
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks out from the finals. You make
Speaker 1: a little mistake, you go a little high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Graves, that's I don't think Wayne should off. I
Speaker 2: think he should be you know. Having said that, I
Speaker 2: think Wayne these days his strength. He is a man manager. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you see him putting the chairs out and the sheds?
Speaker 2: Was great? What about that?
Speaker 1: So for those that didn't see it, there's the white
Speaker 1: plastic chairs off of the side with the Dolphins covers
Speaker 1: on them, And while Wolfy and the players are out
Speaker 1: doing the warm ups, Wayne is just taking the chairs
Speaker 1: out getting him in this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably he's just probably chairs the check Now. I
Speaker 2: think we should move on if we talk about him
Speaker 2: preparing a.
Speaker 1: Direct recon he brought his own chairs like bas to me,
Speaker 1: it's a.
Speaker 3: Different dude in Sheds. Didn't he remember like his favorite
Speaker 3: restaurant's Grapper where we sprung him during COVID. So you
Speaker 3: get down the Sheds after game and Charlie from Grapper
Speaker 3: delivering all these takeaway shanks. He's such a different dude.
Speaker 1: Shed they we didn't get your pick on who's going
Speaker 1: to buzzers, thinks the Knights are going to get there?
Speaker 1: Who's going to finish eighth?
Speaker 2: I've got to admit, boys, I haven't I'm not a
Speaker 2: I'm not one of these crystal ball dissecting people.
Speaker 1: We've we've seen your predictions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Saints can I think Saints can survive.
Speaker 2: I really do. I think they get the points against Paramatta.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure they will mate Non too much to
Speaker 2: play for Barzs really, from from a red V point
Speaker 2: of view, if they cannot find eighty minutes here, who's
Speaker 2: been gone bad? Yeah, I think there's there's You are
Speaker 2: Saints fans that watch that gun, watch the Dragons closely,
Speaker 2: and they will tell you that he hasn't been lights
Speaker 2: out all year. No player of the Year will be
Speaker 2: interesting at Saint Zach Lamer, right exactly. But then who's
Speaker 2: who's just below that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went back and watched that game because I
Speaker 1: just thought I'd just try and pick out where things
Speaker 1: fell apart. But there was just I can see why
Speaker 1: Flannet pools his hair out.
Speaker 3: Because Flanagan had nearly run second.
Speaker 2: You know, I think you will.
Speaker 1: I think you're right because you know, Tyrrell Sloan shows
Speaker 1: glimpses of being that guy, and Flannel's challenged him to,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty publicly at times, to put your body
Speaker 1: on the line and that kind of stuff. You see
Speaker 1: Will Kennedy jump over the top of him for that try.
Speaker 1: Both fene brothers missed really bad one of ones that.
Speaker 1: Let there's eighteen points there, you lose by twenty eight,
Speaker 1: and there's a good bad good dragons and are very
Speaker 1: bad dragons.
Speaker 2: And what's concerning about Sloan and that Will Kennedy tries
Speaker 2: that Sharks tried it in the first half and they
Speaker 2: just missed it coming through and they saw just a
Speaker 2: big enough chink in Sloan's armor they just went, let's
Speaker 2: just do it again, yep, and we'll get it.
Speaker 3: And that's a worryin up burden.
Speaker 2: Well, look, so for me, Saints get there. If can
Speaker 2: I reserve my judgment until after.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well until after that. It's all locked in
Speaker 1: into basically two weeks time. Nice, So what do you
Speaker 1: make a power with the news that they've resigned Jamaine Hopwood. Now,
Speaker 1: who's there lockedforward? If someone has a young e there's
Speaker 1: talk about Gufo playing a bit of a roping forward
Speaker 1: role fullback potentially.
Speaker 2: I think it's forward planning. I don't think it's locked
Speaker 2: in stone that the kid just gets the fullback jumper.
Speaker 2: I just can't see how that unfolds, given Guffo's history
Speaker 2: at the club, But I think it's a It's definitely
Speaker 2: part of them longer terms, will move out of full back.
Speaker 2: His body's not the same. The miles are starting to
Speaker 2: take their toll on his legs. So you put it
Speaker 2: in the middle, in the front and the front. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not a center or for me.
Speaker 3: One of the big stories next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he can only take him one bay. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was talking to the Eels yesterday. There's been all
Speaker 2: that speculation about Ryan Madison's future. They believe he'll just
Speaker 2: be part of the roster now next year. Wasn't able
Speaker 2: to secure another deal elsewhere stays the big one that
Speaker 2: will move will be read still waiting for him to
Speaker 2: get that deal done elsewhere. And the other one is
Speaker 2: Michael Sibo. We might see a bit of movement around Cibo,
Speaker 2: maybe moving on at the end of the year potentially. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So keeping on that one, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Was it unable to move for him to get a
Speaker 1: place elsewhere Madison or was he just taking up the
Speaker 1: options and not too keen to leave? Is that he's
Speaker 1: gone from blog It was potentially tapped to now we
Speaker 1: want you is.
Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, I think the case of it is is
Speaker 2: if you can find a club, go for your life.
Speaker 2: If not, you're here with us, and that's where it sits.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I've got to ask you these questions because
Speaker 1: Dave doesn't like doing predictions. But Daly M's coming up soon, Bussy.
Speaker 2: Dally Ms. I'm going to give you a what do
Speaker 2: you call the top four?
Speaker 3: First of all, now, not a quadrilla, it's the first
Speaker 3: fall first four in no particular order. I'll have Jerome
Speaker 3: Hughes on top. I'll have Stephen Crichton second, I'll have
Speaker 3: Angus Crichton.
Speaker 1: At third, the Brothers yeah nice, and I'll.
Speaker 3: Have James Sadiesko fourth. Yeah, that's that's solid buss with
Speaker 3: Zach Lamax. If you want a fifth, tell you what it's.
Speaker 1: I think last year proved it's so bloody hard to
Speaker 1: pick because you can now get a maximum six points
Speaker 1: each game, so you can really fly out leaderboard Dato.
Speaker 1: When that happens.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to dance down the Dallim rookie path for
Speaker 2: your mobsie. Okay, now this is this is this is
Speaker 2: probably something the game needs to look at because lokie
Speaker 2: Galvin is home and host in everyone's eyes as the
Speaker 2: best rookie of twenty twenty four. However, he can't win
Speaker 2: it due to a two match suspension. Daniel Atkinson is
Speaker 2: eliminated due to the fact that he played his first
Speaker 2: game three years ago. You need to play your back
Speaker 2: to back games within two years, not three. So for me,
Speaker 2: it's Ethan Strange down at the Raiders. Yep. Other contenders
Speaker 2: up lace to Lungey Jack Boss Stock at the dolphins's
Speaker 2: been good and Carl at the Sharks. So but Ethan's
Speaker 2: strange for me. Yeah, halfway through the year, we're going
Speaker 2: this was a few some people were, so let's throw
Speaker 2: him in. The Blues team is he crooked now or
Speaker 2: is he playing this week? I understand he's a chance
Speaker 2: next week up a week two weeker. Yeah, it wouldn't
Speaker 2: be out of place. What do you what a talent?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree, they've got to they've got to
Speaker 1: adjust it because he's he should be Rookie of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know he's not going to look back and go, well,
Speaker 1: he had that two game suspension. He doesn't deserve it.
Speaker 2: What do you get hip drop?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that should take away from you the.
Speaker 2: Year belly from surround, dead flannages behind.
Speaker 1: All right, we're moving on to listener questions. But because
Speaker 1: MC is not on deck today, what about him brushing us?
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be involved.
Speaker 2: Didn't didn't contact me.
Speaker 1: No, Well, can you mark that against him when you're
Speaker 1: doing your right next week?
Speaker 3: I've thought about it, and if I can't separate Ricky
Speaker 3: O and carry Ons and Reid, I might put next
Speaker 3: chair in.
Speaker 1: All right, well, splinters e.
Speaker 3: I might really do that. First twenty, get his recipe out,
Speaker 3: then bring Mick in.
Speaker 1: We've got to finish with recipe. So Reddy's got to
Speaker 1: be a finisher in that regard. Yeah, right, So listener questions,
Speaker 1: is it two and the same? So Ramon and Brett
Speaker 1: both talking about Gatho to the Dragons, is that gaining traction?
Speaker 1: And is he a long term half solution for the Dragons?
Speaker 1: Could he play six? Now?
Speaker 3: He's saying at Power Rose has told of me wants him,
Speaker 3: so yeah, unlikely. Look, you can never say it for certain,
Speaker 3: but looks like rals does wand it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're thinking he'd be thirty one by the
Speaker 1: time he'd look to join the Dragons for his current contract. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it goes back to your point before, Dave Tyron Wishart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean the Dragons would have to
Speaker 2: be careful for everything we spoke about Guffo's body, his age,
Speaker 2: and how much he going to pay to get him there.
Speaker 1: Johnty wants to know do you think Flannel will get
Speaker 1: an extension in the off season? In the off season
Speaker 1: which Kyle or I assume it's Shane? Yeah, Shane.
Speaker 3: In the off season signs three, didn't he? Yeah, probably
Speaker 3: doesn't need to happen, does it.
Speaker 1: Na, No, well that probably doesn't do it.
Speaker 3: We should wish ideas good. Well, this is and you
Speaker 3: know what Melbourne like Penrith. They cannot keep everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so St George should blome him out of the park.
Speaker 3: Money wise, I wish it should be it in red
Speaker 3: and white.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1: Matthew wants to know that the TV coverage has used
Speaker 1: drones for a couple of games this season. Could they
Speaker 1: potentially be used to review on side and dare I
Speaker 1: say forward passes?
Speaker 2: Jeez? Well it's a good idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a bad idea. To slow the game down.
Speaker 3: You have to do it graphic and you know, set
Speaker 3: squares and all these things. I just wished to touch
Speaker 3: he set keep something. It's all they got to do.
Speaker 1: Let sharks try at the weekend. That was contentious that
Speaker 1: she was could because have you got a ticket referees ticket?
Speaker 2: I had a Journey League one years ago? Did you
Speaker 2: run the line? Did you run that around the line
Speaker 2: during the football? Yeah? Yeah absolutely? What about giving back
Speaker 2: to the great game? Did you run in from the
Speaker 2: very overweight struggling Oh, he comes filing in? What does
Speaker 2: he want? Can I just what? You can? I just
Speaker 2: starting something right now?
Speaker 1: Only only the fact you're talking about, you know, junior
Speaker 1: foot and what not. What about Dave's effort last Sunday
Speaker 1: on his day off, files a story in the video
Speaker 1: with Sharks, she and Steve Mace talking about that horrible,
Speaker 1: horrific stabbing.
Speaker 3: I thought about you when he did that. It was great,
Speaker 3: and I thought about the life of rugby league. We
Speaker 3: do have the best ever jobs. Yeah, but you'll never
Speaker 3: get a day on No.
Speaker 2: I honestly didn't think driving to my son's junior league
Speaker 2: game preliminary final. Mind you, we won fourteen twelve, the
Speaker 2: off to the GF.
Speaker 3: We go this week, show you stray yourself into the team.
Speaker 1: This is what do you do?
Speaker 2: I am chief water boy and he made my carry
Speaker 2: of water is now.
Speaker 1: They get through it while you're in Paris. It must
Speaker 1: have been tough.
Speaker 2: There was a couple of scratchy victories there. But you're right.
Speaker 2: I didn't think i'd be involved in such a horrific story,
Speaker 2: not involved, but being able to very share out of
Speaker 2: Steve Mason, his son, Cooper, and there all the other
Speaker 2: first responders.
Speaker 1: Horrible, absolutely, yeah, heroic, Yeah, that's it. We throw that
Speaker 1: word around a lot, but that was just amazing, you
Speaker 1: know the detail of what they did. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: just thought that was worth a shout out. If you
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: Okay with that good journalists and that, yeah, good journalist
Speaker 3: And Madam.
Speaker 1: Corey JB wants to know if the under twenties comp
Speaker 1: came back comes back, would you tweak the rules to
Speaker 1: have a little more emphasis around defense.
Speaker 2: Or because of the hot massive school ones that we
Speaker 2: saw when we last what's the NYC? I don't think so, No,
Speaker 2: I mean does it. Had we seen an impact of
Speaker 2: the of the NYC back in the day. Did we
Speaker 2: see an impact that filtered into the NRL? No, they
Speaker 2: just adjusted to the NRL system. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 2: it needs changing. No, I just want to see good and.
Speaker 1: You see you see players young kids in reserve grade
Speaker 1: these days, you know, or just let Jack Howarth mentioned
Speaker 1: young players learning how to defend against grown men, learning
Speaker 1: systems outside shoulder, footwork, everything else. That there's the pathways
Speaker 1: there for it, clear, patra. If Hines misses this week
Speaker 1: and the Sharks smash the Warriors with Atkinson and Trindle,
Speaker 1: should they rest him against Manly next week rather than
Speaker 1: play him?
Speaker 2: Well, I think he plays so, Sorry, Cleopatra, I don't
Speaker 2: think your question holds water. I think Heines will get
Speaker 2: there this weekend. Guys, And I think it's I think
Speaker 2: it's all part of a strategy. And I think if
Speaker 2: the Sharks believe they're going to go deep into the finals,
Speaker 2: they actually need Nico playing eighty minutes this week at
Speaker 2: eighty minutes next week. So he goes in with full
Speaker 2: confidence and timing match fitness, the soreness of making tackles
Speaker 2: not half hard coming off the bench this week. Can
Speaker 2: I ask you a questions ten or minute to go? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you need a Faiel goal, just google it or trendle
Speaker 2: or Atkinson. Yeah, but yeah, I'd like to think. I'd
Speaker 2: like to think Haines can get it unbuzzed. It'd be interesting.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why I asked, because the mental scars
Speaker 3: have some misses. The sideline conversion which was a really
Speaker 3: tough kick.
Speaker 2: Who was that against at the end. You remember Dolphins? Dolphins? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be interesting. I hope they have some options.
Speaker 3: One of the best field guys I ever saw was
Speaker 3: Latrell kick one down in Melbourne and Kronk was standing
Speaker 3: on the right, Latrell was on the left.
Speaker 2: Everyone was waiting to go to that beauty. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: he kicked out of the stadium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, MIT's got some email questions here from Brendan. First,
Speaker 1: listening to the broadcast about the Immortals, that was mentioned
Speaker 1: that to be considered players should have dominated all three
Speaker 1: levels of the game. With this in mind, I always
Speaker 1: wonder why Lorie Daily isn't talked about more in these conversations.
Speaker 1: He obviously had a great career with Canberra, but also
Speaker 1: dominated for the Blues and captain three series wins in
Speaker 1: a row and culminating in that ninety four win of
Speaker 1: a Queensland team playing for playing against Malanie's final series.
Speaker 1: Do you think the Super League war has impacted his legacy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 3: Laurie was a champion, right, But yeah, so was Brett Jenny,
Speaker 3: so was Ricky, so was Ourfy And it's so so
Speaker 3: exclusive the club and sadly the champions there they just
Speaker 3: miss out. And it's interesting that guy's question though, because
Speaker 3: Wally Lewis, and probably because of the stage of his career,
Speaker 3: didn't make it now, you know, but winning. Yeah, to
Speaker 3: judge him on the it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, your thoughts stable, No, I agree?
Speaker 2: Is it? I mean he's a champion and I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think the Super League War did anything. I mean,
Speaker 2: you could make a case for a whole host of
Speaker 2: players that were actually involved in the Super League War
Speaker 2: that have now kicked on to be part of the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame and Immortals.
Speaker 3: If there was a club between Hall of Fame and Immortals,
Speaker 3: there'd be some great players you could hike in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know what I mean? The next.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Matthew's got one. The idea is, instead of a
Speaker 1: ten minute sinbin, we bring in sinbin based on laps.
Speaker 1: We work out the average time a player takes into
Speaker 1: a lap at full pace. Then when a player doesn't
Speaker 1: accidentally head high, he might get eight laps. He and
Speaker 1: his team have to decide if he's going to sprint
Speaker 1: it for eight laps get back on the field but
Speaker 1: he's buggered, or he does it at a slower pace.
Speaker 1: His team might be an attack at part of the
Speaker 1: lapse and return with more energy.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a lot of time.
Speaker 2: With his Matthe Nah, I don't want to. I love that.
Speaker 3: That's an old secret. Look after your customers, and he's
Speaker 3: a good customer, Matthew. But that's a very bad idea.
Speaker 1: There'd be some very unfit footballers if they get marched
Speaker 1: to how many laps you could get done? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be like a Hamaso getting ten in the bin.
Speaker 2: Because oh, because I'm on my junior league bandwagon at
Speaker 2: the moment, right, Can the junior league please seriously look
Speaker 2: at reducing the ten minutes sin bin for junior league players.
Speaker 2: The game only goes for forty minutes. Don't just adopt
Speaker 2: an NRL rule and put ten minutes into a forty
Speaker 2: minute game. This isn't helping him come back now, mate,
Speaker 2: turn it into five minutes instead of ten. In South
Speaker 2: Wales Rugby League, see Dave Troton, I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2: Can I remind you this and a NRL podcast lost
Speaker 2: a seat for the listeners. Listeners out there league junior
Speaker 2: league parents listening to this podcast listening. I know you.
Speaker 2: I have your support. He is a great down best
Speaker 2: for junior league with all your wash out stuff. And
Speaker 2: it was good. Thanks Mane, very good.
Speaker 1: I'm glad he might have cost himself a spot. Now
Speaker 1: I'm backing with a hope this is nice and we're
Speaker 1: going to fish off with Harry, who says having a
Speaker 1: look at the twenty twenty Grand Final teams. The Storm
Speaker 1: have had a turnover of twelve players from that side,
Speaker 1: more than Penrith have had. That team had a bench
Speaker 1: of Hines Foranurkin, Farsel Malawi and Brandon Smith. Consider the
Speaker 1: roster he has in twenty four. Is this season Bellamy's
Speaker 1: greatest coaching achievement?
Speaker 2: It's a good yarn buzz bloody Yeah, what a good question.
Speaker 2: Who was that? Prob mate?
Speaker 1: That's from Harry.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you Harry should go knock on Matthews. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they should you spend some time together. Harry can
Speaker 2: counsel matt on how to send a question in. We
Speaker 2: should go and have a look at that team. And yeah,
Speaker 2: is it his greatest coaching achievement? Well, the premiership will
Speaker 2: determine that. Yeah, But it's bloody good, isn't it.
Speaker 1: But you're how many points clear?
Speaker 2: They have? Six? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Against the team that's one And I don't know it's
Speaker 1: obviously harf a Penrithy back up and back up and
Speaker 1: back up.
Speaker 2: But I'm a massive believer and I know we've got
Speaker 2: to wrap it up. A massive believer in The Melbourne
Speaker 2: Storm have a major advantage over the rest of the competition.
Speaker 2: By their location, and I mean the fact that they
Speaker 2: can train in isolation.
Speaker 3: Without cameras, really training in isolation, well, they don't have
Speaker 3: They've got a very open field down there.
Speaker 2: They don't have a sea of cameras, a sea of journo's,
Speaker 2: the constant press in belly Ake's face. Yeah, he took
Speaker 2: them the fellow the edge forward. He got into trouble
Speaker 2: this week and I saw, yeah, but the fact he
Speaker 2: was down there no one picked up on exactly. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2: The secret to their success is Paul, the head of recruitment.
Speaker 1: I've got some breaking news. The NERL has made a
Speaker 1: final determination following an Integrity Unit investigation into the actions
Speaker 1: of South Sydney Rabbit's player Latrell Mid. The NRL can
Speaker 1: confirm that Mitchell will be suspended for one match with
Speaker 1: a twenty thousand dollars fine and required to undertake appropriate training,
Speaker 1: education and remediation. So the particulars of the breech notice
Speaker 1: was that Mitchell featured in imagery which emerged publicly on
Speaker 1: August twelve. August twelve that depicted him acting in a
Speaker 1: manner which has brought the game into disrepute. The suspension
Speaker 1: is to be served once the player is fit and
Speaker 1: available to return from injury.
Speaker 2: I reckon he's a comeback next week.
Speaker 1: They've already put a line through him. He missed training,
Speaker 1: he didn't train today. Well, Ben Hornby said the other
Speaker 1: day he's mister week of training.
Speaker 3: He is playing maculous comeback.
Speaker 1: I want to watch him train then, I want to
Speaker 1: see this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, putt the camera down there at hepcom park Y.
Speaker 1: See if we can get one out there.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on that that disciplinary action is pretty much on
Speaker 2: par with similar offenses of this category from the NRL.
Speaker 2: So it does really surprised. And this is what basically,
Speaker 2: you know, reading and the guys at the team here
Speaker 2: at the tell you've been reporting that it will be
Speaker 2: a one match being in twenty grand fur.
Speaker 3: The interesting thing is South's got to make a statement agree.
Speaker 1: So what does that South statement look like for you guys?
Speaker 2: Well, I'd be going a major fine and last warning
Speaker 2: with a clause in there that it's all over if
Speaker 2: you step out of line to this extent ever again, yeah,
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: This is what five years has had now at South's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my concern is the number of games he's playing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's not enough for the salary that he's on.
Speaker 2: It's a very very good point, that bit of breaking
Speaker 2: news to wind up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good journalists and object and dinner tonight. I am
Speaker 3: doing a barbecue and I got my missus wants chicken,
Speaker 3: Jack wants Theresa, my daughter wants to snag and bloody hamburgers.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's the sort of mixed girl.
Speaker 1: How's the new place going you?
Speaker 2: I love it? Yeah, I love it. Sat out there
Speaker 2: in the bar bridge next to it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Have you had an invite around yet yet?
Speaker 3: Once you got to pull the little one a little plungy, yeah,
Speaker 3: much choosed to look after Yeah.
Speaker 1: You mate.
Speaker 2: Well it's the last hour Grand Final preparation training tonight. Okay,
Speaker 2: so we're going to get pizzas in for the boys.
Speaker 2: We'll get in the dressing room and we'll just have
Speaker 2: one last chat. Yeah right, buzz. You've been here before,
Speaker 2: yeah with the drop in Okay you did? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, And I watched a grade in the park last week.
Speaker 3: It was fantastic. Yeah, yeah down yeah, yeah good. The
Speaker 3: curriede sausages and rice are the best ever.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Four dollars fifty Oh yeah, I love that we get
Speaker 1: around the junior soccer. When you get a different you
Speaker 1: get you get some games in Bankstown and places like that,
