Speaker 1: Welcome to three sixty Rubelly from every angle, brought to
Speaker 1: you by Ford Everest joining me again, the great Good
Speaker 1: and Tallas.
Speaker 2: That's been the jour Buzz Rothfield and Brent Reid and Red.
Speaker 2: He's been a busy boy.
Speaker 1: The top fifty influences, powerful whatever.
Speaker 3: The only bloke is on my read.
Speaker 2: What's the feedback, Bean? Since you've been very.
Speaker 3: Positive, breath, very positive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of people are very happy with their positions,
Speaker 4: particularly you, because I think you were under seven.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that and sorry, I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I noticed. It stood out Buzz Rothfield was ahead.
Speaker 3: And fair enough, fair enough to I reckon.
Speaker 5: Your kidnn't you?
Speaker 2: You're a holiday one.
Speaker 5: Read and you think he's that close an influence in rugby?
Speaker 2: Lea your kid?
Speaker 3: It was a tight call, Buzz. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4: But yeah, we thought you just held a bit a
Speaker 4: bit more swathean mate.
Speaker 6: I'm told you wanted made about forty nine and Mike
Speaker 6: carrianas bump me.
Speaker 3: Up that I would never do that.
Speaker 5: But what about your weekend?
Speaker 6: A number seven three year contract? Don't worry about your colleague.
Speaker 6: She wrecked our salary caps.
Speaker 1: Nothing left for us it's what it's not you, it's
Speaker 1: what you know.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 1: That's been a good weekend signing you deal with Fox
Speaker 1: League and.
Speaker 3: He was in there to she stress card. He was
Speaker 3: in there as well. Back number thirty.
Speaker 7: Was in the.
Speaker 8: Classified the funeral notices.
Speaker 4: That's page one, on page one, Mary and Nathan number one.
Speaker 1: The great Bullfrog. Richiell be very happy with that. He's
Speaker 1: obsessed with that.
Speaker 3: Nothing's about the move to Super League, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Apparently okay, let's move on. Queensland coach Billy Slater has
Speaker 2: made a number.
Speaker 1: Of selection bombshells ahead of the Origin decider in Sydney.
Speaker 5: Take a look, why don't go with them? Yeah?
Speaker 9: I just think it's the right fit for the footy
Speaker 9: team right now and I think he's in He's in
Speaker 9: a great stage of his career. Reese is a great player.
Speaker 9: He wouldn't be here if he was injured. It was
Speaker 9: purely a decision over who we thought was best for
Speaker 9: the position at this time. There's no one more proud
Speaker 9: than me seeing Reese back on the field and doing
Speaker 9: what he's doing. It's a great luxury to have both
Speaker 9: of them in camp. Looking forward to having a week
Speaker 9: with Reese again, Hammer deserves his opportunity to play in
Speaker 9: the one Jersey. It was a great phone call. Initially
Speaker 9: he thought it was just being a part of the squad.
Speaker 9: Then I said, no, mate, you'll be playing for Coeensland.
Speaker 9: The rise of his game over the last six months
Speaker 9: has been exceptional. He's playing some really consistent football, a
Speaker 9: great defender, he's got great principles in his game off
Speaker 9: the footy and he's a big body. Big Papa and
Speaker 9: his wife Zeppa, they had another boy over the weekend
Speaker 9: and Papa's actually not going to enter camp today.
Speaker 7: He's going to have a couple of.
Speaker 9: Days and make sure that his priority is being a dad.
Speaker 9: Because there's probably something that I've had in the back
Speaker 9: of my mind for a couple of years now.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 9: I was a little bit unsure of the response i'd get.
Speaker 9: I spoke to Papa a couple of days ago and
Speaker 9: the response was pretty much where where my head was at,
Speaker 9: which was fantastic and it just shows you that he's
Speaker 9: still got that fire to play for this footy team.
Speaker 9: We're not naive to know where we're going, We're not
Speaker 9: naive to know how good the footy team is. That
Speaker 9: we're playing and the individuals in the footy team, so
Speaker 9: you know it's a it's a task for sure, but
Speaker 9: what an opportunity.
Speaker 1: Yes, the Queensland Maraons team has been announced after that
Speaker 1: great win in Perth to tie the series going into
Speaker 1: the decider in Sydney Gordier.
Speaker 2: There are a couple of changes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is Josh Papal which makes he makes his return.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 8: I reckon he's one of those guys in the dress
Speaker 8: room that when he's pulling up your socks, you just look.
Speaker 8: You just got to watch the way the Green Machines
Speaker 8: playing at the moment when they got around him. He
Speaker 8: kicked those goals the other week, scored a double, so
Speaker 8: I think he's in great form and give them Shubasaki
Speaker 8: was from left field, but he's playing really good footage.
Speaker 8: He's been Between him and Containy Stags have been probably
Speaker 8: two of the informed centers in the competition. So I
Speaker 8: can't argue with it a must win games, so must
Speaker 8: feel a little bit disappointed. I think he's warm up
Speaker 8: against the Warriors when he's limping around a bit.
Speaker 2: You've got to be one hundred percent feet if we're
Speaker 2: going to beat in.
Speaker 5: He was limping around Gord.
Speaker 6: It didn't stop him the way he played, and I
Speaker 6: think he's almost single handedly picked the Broncos in that
Speaker 6: last couple of weeks. And I've got nothing against the
Speaker 6: selection of Shibasaki.
Speaker 5: He's had a terrific gear.
Speaker 6: But my thoughts were Queensland would be a much more
Speaker 6: dynamic side to defend up on if they had Welsh
Speaker 6: out the back and hammering the centers and a sort
Speaker 6: of double X factor threat, and I think it would
Speaker 6: have been a bit more dangerous. They're now lacking a
Speaker 6: lot of experience in the centers. Robert Doyer's had two
Speaker 6: games and shuber Saki's under bow, and they're up in
Speaker 6: against Crighton and the Trail, who was very very.
Speaker 2: I can't argue with that. It's a tough decision for Billy.
Speaker 1: I would have had Reese as well, and that was
Speaker 1: I kind of thought that even after Game two, Caylyn
Speaker 1: didn't have the best game, didn't have the best game one,
Speaker 1: wasn't playing really good for Newcastle. Then he brained it
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins and I thought, Okay, they'll probably stick
Speaker 1: with him. So when Kylen went down, I thought, well,
Speaker 1: Rees comes in. That was just my thoughts. I can
Speaker 1: understand why he's gone for the Hemmer and it's not
Speaker 1: a bad decision or moved by any means, but I
Speaker 1: definitely would have went for him.
Speaker 2: Now really pick and stick. They won game too, that
Speaker 2: may change.
Speaker 4: That's the one that's the bones surprised me brace is
Speaker 4: Mo for the Waker going out and Josh Populi coming in.
Speaker 4: I know Papuli has been playing great for Canberra, but
Speaker 4: you're right they won. We won in Perth and I
Speaker 4: would have thought given Mo. Look, he hasn't had a
Speaker 4: great series, but he's done his job and I'm surprised
Speaker 4: that he's particularly Josh has played for a couple of
Speaker 4: years and obviously I think he retired. I need footing
Speaker 4: for memory, So that surprises me a little bit. The
Speaker 4: re One the Hammer the Back doesn't sprise me because
Speaker 4: I think we saw Reese. It's been a bit propery
Speaker 4: on that leg and Ship is sarking. You say he's
Speaker 4: not experienced bars or hasn't, but he's an experienced play
Speaker 4: He's been around long time and he's got a.
Speaker 2: Big job on Crichton.
Speaker 4: But the big step up the Fowkers going from the
Speaker 4: he's been planning, done a remarkable job.
Speaker 5: He signed with the Queensland Cup, so the.
Speaker 3: Train and troll the other start.
Speaker 6: When a man or one of the Q Cup sides
Speaker 6: and then the Broncos at the last minute gave him
Speaker 6: the train and trial and to step into this ruin
Speaker 6: and when they could have had those two champions out there.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised, yeah, but I think defensively they struggled a
Speaker 4: bit at times on that side of the field, and
Speaker 4: I think he'll he's a bigger body or strengthen them
Speaker 4: in that respect.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the.
Speaker 4: Fodow Warker won't surprising me because I think he deserved
Speaker 4: to be there.
Speaker 1: So Papa, I think, is it the right call. Let's
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of them. I believe he possibly
Speaker 1: be starting. He is probably unlucky not yeah, but he
Speaker 1: was unlucky.
Speaker 2: To miss going too.
Speaker 1: I thought, Papa, he deserved it and he's been playing
Speaker 1: amazing for the Raiders. So although we talk about picking
Speaker 1: stick and we could give you guys.
Speaker 8: You picked the best side. We could give you some
Speaker 8: ship to win, you picked the best side to win.
Speaker 8: And I think, Josh, if you can ask any Coueensland
Speaker 8: have we been bullied in any of the games in
Speaker 8: the last couple of series, and there's been moments where
Speaker 8: we've been bullied. I don't think anybody bullies Josh.
Speaker 6: And the bottom line is you do have a look
Speaker 6: at club form and I don't think you can carry
Speaker 6: two Titans front rowers. The way they're languishing at the
Speaker 6: bottom of the ladder, you can't call it it. They're
Speaker 6: running last for a reason, mate, and they haven't had
Speaker 6: that midfield dominant.
Speaker 1: They haven't's made the call, to be fair, you know,
Speaker 1: he just probably couldn't ignore it any longer.
Speaker 2: And he needs his best team team in form from the.
Speaker 5: Front row at the top of the ladder for one
Speaker 5: at the bottom of the.
Speaker 3: I think it makes them a better team.
Speaker 4: But I think that they won the last scale and
Speaker 4: I think my did all right.
Speaker 3: But look, he wasn't He hasn't been great, been big
Speaker 3: on the.
Speaker 4: Pig and stick I have been whole time loyalty, so
Speaker 4: I'm not. I can't change my tune. I can't change
Speaker 4: my tune.
Speaker 2: So you are a stickler, Yeah, very very long?
Speaker 4: Are you a number seven makers? I'm very loyal, very
Speaker 4: So that's a bit of concerns.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, now quick mentioned John Singleton is coming
Speaker 1: up on heavy. He just can't wait to talk to him.
Speaker 1: What the character he's We just had.
Speaker 5: Him in the green room Legends the Best fifteen listening
Speaker 5: to him.
Speaker 2: How funny is he saying we're boring? Oh you were
Speaker 2: not to around with seeing our back in the day.
Speaker 2: Surely I did. I did.
Speaker 6: I used to go to his corporate suite of course.
Speaker 6: Of course, he had the first corporate suite in Australian
Speaker 6: sport at Hanson Park. He built what was called the
Speaker 6: jet Set at the time. He used to invite the
Speaker 6: media up there for some proms and champagne.
Speaker 5: This was the late seventies. He was way ahead of
Speaker 5: his time in rugby.
Speaker 2: Then.
Speaker 5: I did have more head than I have in our breaking.
Speaker 1: I wish I was back in those days. Well, can
Speaker 1: we move all right? It's head in the Blues camp now.
Speaker 1: Laura Day joins us on the jo true Blue, Mike Laws.
Speaker 1: You've resisted making changes after losing game two?
Speaker 2: Is that an advantage heading into the designer Yeah?
Speaker 10: Good evening break. I think it.
Speaker 7: Helps us where we're at.
Speaker 10: I think this team hasn't played anywhere near its capabilities,
Speaker 10: and I think the more time.
Speaker 7: We get to play with each other, the better will be.
Speaker 10: And I think, yeah, being able to have the same
Speaker 10: seventeen will be advantage. But again, we're going to play
Speaker 10: a lot better than what we did in game two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lauria, it's good to here mate.
Speaker 8: What did go wrong and what's the focus for the
Speaker 8: decider in Sydney.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's quite easy, Gordio. I think for us, there's
Speaker 10: two things we need to be better at. One's our discipline.
Speaker 10: We're poor in that area. We need to be better
Speaker 10: and we're going to execute a little bit more and be.
Speaker 7: A lot sharper with the ball.
Speaker 10: You know, if you only have a fifty six percent
Speaker 10: completion rate at the NRL level, you're going to struggle
Speaker 10: against teams and if you go to the State of
Speaker 10: Original level, you're going to do it tough. And that's
Speaker 10: what we were in that first forty minute. So we
Speaker 10: have to address the problems that we had in that
Speaker 10: regard and we're going to be a more disciplined footy team.
Speaker 10: So they're there two big things that I'll be stressing
Speaker 10: all week and that'll be the message.
Speaker 7: It's simple, but it'll be clear Lowry.
Speaker 6: The nine Nael penalty count forty five minutes has been
Speaker 6: well documented. Are you going to get into the NRL
Speaker 6: and have a meeting with the refereeing staff or the
Speaker 6: actual referee?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I won't be having a meeting with the ref buzz,
Speaker 10: but I certainly been had a meeting with Jared Maxwell
Speaker 10: just about the clarification on you know, some of the
Speaker 10: rulings that happened in game two. You know, I just
Speaker 10: want to be clear in my own mind about what
Speaker 10: the expectations are of the referee but also the expectation
Speaker 10: of the referee of.
Speaker 7: Us because we let ourselves down.
Speaker 10: So we need to be better in all those areas
Speaker 10: of the game. And again I think you know, for us,
Speaker 10: it's a clear focus.
Speaker 7: We've got to be.
Speaker 10: Giving away less penalties and we've got to be better
Speaker 10: and we're more smart with what we do with the
Speaker 10: football and how we do work with the football.
Speaker 4: Hey, Laura, Brent Reid, I want to ask about a
Speaker 4: couple of the queens and changes, well one in particular,
Speaker 4: Josh Popular.
Speaker 3: You know him, well, why do.
Speaker 4: You think Billy has turned to him and what do
Speaker 4: you think he'll bring into this game?
Speaker 10: He brings the presence and he's a leader. And watching
Speaker 10: him this year for the Raiders and over the last
Speaker 10: couple of years, you know, he's one of the reasons
Speaker 10: why they're having so much success with the ball. You know,
Speaker 10: he's a try scorer, but he just carries ball forward
Speaker 10: so well for the Raiders. But the fact that he
Speaker 10: gives them a presence in the middle of the field.
Speaker 10: He can whack, you know, in defense, and he and
Speaker 10: Tno will bring that aggression up front.
Speaker 7: And you know, I think God him myself.
Speaker 10: Last year, I remember talking about it, and you know,
Speaker 10: on my radio program, I was talking about maybe they
Speaker 10: could bring Josh back last year, and you know, he
Speaker 10: didn't get that call up.
Speaker 7: So this year he's got the call up.
Speaker 10: And I know what a proud Coinslander he is, and
Speaker 10: I know what inspiration he has with a team, and
Speaker 10: they'll feed off his energy and feed off his aggression
Speaker 10: and his leadership. So I really understand why Billy's brought
Speaker 10: him back.
Speaker 3: Laurie, I'll set it up for you here.
Speaker 4: I am surprised that they would have dropped Mo for
Speaker 4: the Worker after winning that game and bringing Josh back.
Speaker 10: I think as a coach, what you look at is
Speaker 10: how you.
Speaker 7: Can strengthen your team.
Speaker 10: And if you think you can't strengthen the team, then
Speaker 10: you don't make changes. But if you think you can,
Speaker 10: you bring other people in. And again, you know, Mo
Speaker 10: has done a terrific job for Queensland. But I think
Speaker 10: the fact that Josh is playing with the team that's
Speaker 10: sitting on top of the competition, he's just forced his
Speaker 10: way in through performance.
Speaker 7: I don't think he's anything against Mo.
Speaker 10: I think he's played well, but Josh has just been,
Speaker 10: you know, one of the form front rowers of the competition.
Speaker 2: It's no.
Speaker 10: Fluke that the Raiders you know, are on top when
Speaker 10: you've got Joe Tarpani and Josh Papa Lee that one
Speaker 10: two punch.
Speaker 7: That's a big reason why the Raiders are having success.
Speaker 10: They're playing off the back of that, and I can
Speaker 10: understand why Billies brought him into the team.
Speaker 2: Was Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 1: He was very good against the Bulldogs over the weekend,
Speaker 1: but he's still carrying that leg injury and it was
Speaker 1: obviously it hurt him in game two. Do you think
Speaker 1: he'll be back to full contact running kicking for Game three?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we think he will be. Both we think
Speaker 7: he'll be one hundred percent fit.
Speaker 10: Although goal kicking, I don't think he'll be goal kicking,
Speaker 10: but again that'll be up to Nathan and just to
Speaker 10: see how he's traveling. But I wouldn't expect him to
Speaker 10: goal kick. I think Zach will do a great job
Speaker 10: for us. But yeah, it was just unfortunate that before
Speaker 10: game one he sort of twinged his groin, so he
Speaker 10: was I did a really great job for.
Speaker 2: Us to play.
Speaker 10: In fact, you know, we were unsure of whether he's
Speaker 10: going to play or not, but he and the medical
Speaker 10: staff did a terrific job for those twenty four hours.
Speaker 10: And you know, he's confident that he get through. But
Speaker 10: obviously he couldn't do goal kicking, couldn't do a lot of.
Speaker 7: The long kicking.
Speaker 10: So but he's more confident now than what he was
Speaker 10: leading into game two. And we're still, you know, nine
Speaker 10: days away from from Origin three, so I think he'll
Speaker 10: be close to her to one hundred percent by game three.
Speaker 1: Current laws, I love the pick and stick me mentality
Speaker 1: that you've gone with.
Speaker 2: For the Blues.
Speaker 1: Have a great week of preparation and good luck next
Speaker 1: Wednesday night.
Speaker 7: Thanks by thanks for to see your boys.
Speaker 1: There. Is the great Laurie Dailey, And yes he has
Speaker 1: picked the exact same team as game two.
Speaker 2: Heading in the game three.
Speaker 1: Looked very focused there and didn't give away too much
Speaker 1: their loss.
Speaker 2: He's very nervous. Nervous is that how you are?
Speaker 8: No, Well, it's got to be confident, right, they've you know,
Speaker 8: they played some pretty good footage. Well like when he
Speaker 8: said how much person they had at fifty something. You
Speaker 8: don't win a club game with that, So that's alarming
Speaker 8: for us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they're at home and they should win.
Speaker 4: Shouldn't they to see the referees boss to try and
Speaker 4: get the right.
Speaker 2: Of the green, I mean the green, just to get something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: please started that he did. They should just say.
Speaker 6: The good thing is he's taken owner ship for that
Speaker 6: penalty count and you submit her.
Speaker 5: That discipline was way poor. It was really bad.
Speaker 3: It's graceful.
Speaker 5: But after the game New South Wales weren't prepared to
Speaker 5: accept that.
Speaker 2: But they've gone because he would have been emotional too.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, straight after the game, he's had time
Speaker 1: to look at it, sort of calm down a little bit, refocused,
Speaker 1: resetting and be a head coach. You know, he knows
Speaker 1: you can't be a head coach and going to a
Speaker 1: camp thinking we're having excuses you know, the players.
Speaker 2: It's not going to help the players, not going to
Speaker 2: help the.
Speaker 1: Team heading into this game which is so important for him.
Speaker 1: And then and let's be honest, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be no one Neil ready, let's.
Speaker 4: Let's well, I was ill disciplined as they were in
Speaker 4: game two. Open is nine nil because that's what it
Speaker 4: deserved to be, just a little bit so very tense
Speaker 4: to its rubbish. Hopefully he puts a whistle away, let's
Speaker 4: the game flow and we see a great contest.
Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, if they do that a lot
Speaker 2: in trouble.
Speaker 4: As we've established a lot of these penalis were justifoied Brace.
Speaker 4: So need they need to fix up their discipline because
Speaker 4: the Queens got in this stuff.
Speaker 3: Queens have got a lot of leg ups and going to.
Speaker 1: I was just done, like he had his hands in
Speaker 1: the Tigers in damage control after six straight losses and
Speaker 1: the Silver joining the Eels mid season.
Speaker 2: What's our thoughts on this?
Speaker 3: Well, I think it was all.
Speaker 4: Look, it was always heading down this path. Brace Once
Speaker 4: once the tygets decided to keep up a chorus, I
Speaker 4: mean rich. I had met with Talum to Silver and
Speaker 4: his family and they made it pretty clear that if
Speaker 4: he stayed, if they extended up his contract, Tellum would leave.
Speaker 4: He had a year left in his contracts on big
Speaker 4: money next year, and the Tigers thought, well, if it's
Speaker 4: going to happen, and there was no way they were
Speaker 4: going to convince him to change his mind because I've
Speaker 4: decided to keep because he wants to play first grade.
Speaker 4: He wants to be a first grade hooker. He wants
Speaker 4: to start, and he and his family take.
Speaker 2: The strongest stand.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm just asking the question, taking the strongestand
Speaker 1: he's got a year and a half pretty much left.
Speaker 2: Yes, he wants to be the.
Speaker 1: Dominant nine, doesn't want to play behind Happy, but you
Speaker 1: don't always get your own way. When you saw on
Speaker 1: the contract, you know who's ahead of you? Are you
Speaker 1: know both?
Speaker 4: By cutting him loose, they've got six hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 4: to play with now and.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 5: Have they given up on this season?
Speaker 6: Fighting to avoid the wooden spoon? What if Happy Carris
Speaker 6: how gets hurt?
Speaker 3: Well, they've got a kidnamed Tristan opens.
Speaker 5: He's a new Southwest Cup player. He's there for a reason.
Speaker 3: Well, this kid's not.
Speaker 5: They've given up on the season.
Speaker 6: They've let the two best young players have now left
Speaker 6: the club, Galvin and the Silver. They are the two
Speaker 6: best youngsters at that club, right and they're both gone.
Speaker 6: But both were under contract until the end of next season.
Speaker 3: One was going to take him to court.
Speaker 5: So you want to I'll give you a Galvin.
Speaker 3: You give me a Galvin?
Speaker 5: Okay, This young hawker is a very good is.
Speaker 4: Their backup hooker? Have you seen anything to suggest that?
Speaker 4: Tell them Silver, which you respect?
Speaker 6: I haven't spoken to a lot of very good judges
Speaker 6: in the game who rate him extremely highly. That's why
Speaker 6: Manly wanted him, by Newcastle wanted him, why Paramatta wanted him,
Speaker 6: and for the West Tigers just to.
Speaker 5: Say, oh, I did a deal with his mum and dad.
Speaker 5: His mom and dad picked the team.
Speaker 4: Far from the finished product right now, buzz. He's a
Speaker 4: few years off eighteen.
Speaker 6: Played out his contract. What's the months they've got to
Speaker 6: win footy games?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And happy helps him win footy games?
Speaker 5: Can I can I just name? What?
Speaker 3: Can I say?
Speaker 4: Getting an extra six hundred thousand dollars in your salary cap.
Speaker 3: Who knows sign who knows what's going to happen in
Speaker 3: the office. He's a buzz. We see it every year
Speaker 3: players become available. There now are eighteen months.
Speaker 5: I'll name some players.
Speaker 6: Galvin the Silver you toy, Kemanu Sean Bloor was about
Speaker 6: twenty two when he left, and there was a kid there,
Speaker 6: a schoolboy on a Tony large.
Speaker 4: The show is about sixteen, but go on, well seven
Speaker 4: heed now and he wanted the West Tigers to he
Speaker 4: his contract to get out of that club.
Speaker 6: All I want you to think about is why have
Speaker 6: five outstanding young players in the last twelve months all
Speaker 6: wanted out of the West Tiger either than made.
Speaker 4: I'm not talking to okay, they've all wanted out, but
Speaker 4: what about they've signed lat too. Funny that on someone
Speaker 4: was before rich O.
Speaker 5: That was before rich O came to the club.
Speaker 3: You know that was Are you saying rich O's the
Speaker 3: issue now?
Speaker 5: I'm not saying.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying to you, and I've given you names
Speaker 6: that five outstanding young footballers walked out on that class.
Speaker 3: Louis Taruva.
Speaker 4: I've just given the examples of guys who've come to
Speaker 4: the club.
Speaker 5: But they're not young kids, they're not the future. I'm
Speaker 5: going to lay it out here now and last year
Speaker 5: I'll last you.
Speaker 6: If you've heard this, have you heard the stories that
Speaker 6: Jerome Leuai and Happy Corusau are so tight with Benji Marshall.
Speaker 6: They've got that little circle of three and there's a
Speaker 6: lot of younger players that don't quite feel part of
Speaker 6: that outfit. I'm sure, and you know that was a
Speaker 6: situation with Galvin. I'm wondering if it had anything to
Speaker 6: do with these fellows as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: They were assured by Talon to Silver and his parents
Speaker 4: that have talent, that talent wanted to start the club,
Speaker 4: but that if ap he re signed, he would leave,
Speaker 4: but they rich. I was assured by his family the
Speaker 4: talent's preference, preference was to start the Tigers and be
Speaker 4: their long term But.
Speaker 8: To win a spot when when when is there going
Speaker 8: to be a young kid to win the spot?
Speaker 3: Well, obviously I just go to just go to a.
Speaker 2: Bell main hooker with Benny Elias.
Speaker 8: Wasn't Neil Whitticker the club captain, and wasn't he the
Speaker 8: number nine? And didn't he just play so good that
Speaker 8: they had to pick him above him.
Speaker 6: And I want to the canber Raiders are lading the
Speaker 6: cop they've got to kick go oh and Patty really
Speaker 6: good hooker can't break into that first grade side because
Speaker 6: Starling's outstanding and they've even signed the young fellow from
Speaker 6: Newcastle Brayley. He's prepared and he's happy to buy into.
Speaker 6: That's just can I ask you how many hookers the
Speaker 6: Broncos have?
Speaker 5: How many do they have? Four lining up to get out?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: Eighteen months out from the contract?
Speaker 4: Corey Place doesn't have a contract for next year, so
Speaker 4: some of them are knowing.
Speaker 1: I just want to interject your circle back to what
Speaker 1: you said, Buzz, because I first I really heard of that.
Speaker 1: You spoke about happy Chorros Lui and Benji having this circle,
Speaker 1: and he asked you really if you'd heard that, and
Speaker 1: you didn't answer it.
Speaker 2: Have you heard that or that? Because that's news to me.
Speaker 3: Whether I've heard the Benji upp a Titan that we
Speaker 3: know they're extremely.
Speaker 1: That's okay, But is it a healthy relationship or is
Speaker 1: it healthy amongst the playing groups.
Speaker 6: I was very critical Locklin Galvin the manner in which
Speaker 6: he's manager handled his exit. But I do know that
Speaker 6: Lachlan Galvin on the Quoi felt a little bit locked
Speaker 6: out once Lewai, and that they established this big three
Speaker 6: at the club.
Speaker 4: All of the rumors that the war and others would
Speaker 4: prefer to play with Lato Fan.
Speaker 3: I mean that was those room rumors were going around
Speaker 3: earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do you believe that then,
Speaker 1: because it looks like that's how it's played out.
Speaker 4: In the Obviously there was something to it, because obviously
Speaker 4: Lokie's left the club now.
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily think that was the case.
Speaker 6: I'm not being brown Silver, but I think the point
Speaker 6: at five, you know how highly regarded on Tony Large
Speaker 6: is he is.
Speaker 5: They say the best schoolboy half back going around.
Speaker 6: You're in your name rugby league and mate. He didn't
Speaker 6: want to bar of the joint, want Manly to wait
Speaker 6: for Cherry Evans. I was still a kid. I just
Speaker 6: think it's a bad look when so much young talent.
Speaker 4: They've got some young Richard Buzzy got they got some,
Speaker 4: They've got some young te they've got some young talent
Speaker 4: coming through Macassin. He signed a lot of the young
Speaker 4: kids on who everyone says it is going to be
Speaker 4: a superstar. He's signed a long term deal with that club.
Speaker 4: There's a finished god, and I think they've got a
Speaker 4: whole lot of school boys coming through now who've signed
Speaker 4: long term deals with that club and are willing.
Speaker 3: To stay and fight.
Speaker 6: Hold on the Silver had a long term deal to
Speaker 6: He's got something, definitely, And Patty, you.
Speaker 4: Can't compare Tommy's Darling and Jay and Brayley to Uppy
Speaker 4: cross out.
Speaker 3: There's no respect to you're going to tell me that what.
Speaker 6: The two Hawkers who have got camp but at the
Speaker 6: top of the ladder, you think they're spots in danger?
Speaker 5: Darling, I think eventually just signed again.
Speaker 4: I understand that, but I think Paddy will take his spot, yeah,
Speaker 4: or they'll work together. But up he's an has been
Speaker 4: playing eighty minutes most weeks.
Speaker 3: For the for the time, I think they should have
Speaker 3: half the time.
Speaker 5: This is just my thoughts.
Speaker 6: I think they should have tried harder to keep him,
Speaker 6: but most certainly insisted.
Speaker 5: You see out his eighteen months, Richard.
Speaker 6: When they're now in a dangerous position where they could
Speaker 6: win a fourth Wooden Spoon.
Speaker 3: Richie went to his house, sat down with his family.
Speaker 3: What more do you want him to do.
Speaker 6: But if you go to every moment dad who says
Speaker 6: the kid's not happy?
Speaker 5: Seriously, look, I think it's lovely.
Speaker 3: Trying to convince them to stay buzz.
Speaker 1: Let's move on from the nines. Okay, you both made
Speaker 1: your point. You both don't agree as usual, Let's get
Speaker 1: six losses in. Let's I guess a bit of noise
Speaker 1: around Benji. Has Richie jumped the gun on his support
Speaker 1: for Benji or where are we at with this situation?
Speaker 2: Is his job safe? I don't know. Have you guys
Speaker 2: heard anything? What's the latest?
Speaker 5: I think his job safe?
Speaker 4: Well, well, that depends probably on how he finishes the
Speaker 4: season I imagine. I mean, if they lose every game
Speaker 4: from here on in, Benji is going to be under
Speaker 4: immense pressure. But I think right now rich I is
Speaker 4: showing with the decision to sign up or retain up
Speaker 4: he chorus rather than tell him to Silba.
Speaker 3: He's back in the coach and he wants to give
Speaker 3: Benji every chance.
Speaker 8: Benji wanted happy, Benji want up and the club wanted
Speaker 8: the silk.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's necessarily right, Gordy. I think I
Speaker 4: think Benji wanted happy, and the club has backed their coach,
Speaker 4: and I think that's what you've got to do in
Speaker 4: that situation.
Speaker 1: They have improved this year amongst all of this drama
Speaker 1: and six losses in a row. If you peel it
Speaker 1: all back, they have got better and they've been a
Speaker 1: much better team to watch.
Speaker 2: Think so too.
Speaker 1: But in saying that, the next couple of months is
Speaker 1: critical because if they blow all that with a poor
Speaker 1: back end of the year, considering the players they do
Speaker 1: have on the field.
Speaker 6: Buzz yeah, yeah, Look, I hope Benji does finish strong
Speaker 6: and safety.
Speaker 1: What do you think that, Buzz, You seem like you
Speaker 1: just sort of hold them back you a little bit.
Speaker 2: No, Look, I think if.
Speaker 6: They run last, he'll probably lose his job because there
Speaker 6: are other people around like Willie Peters, who's breaking records
Speaker 6: over at Hull in England. He's coach at Newcastle, he's
Speaker 6: coached at South He's a very good coach and he's
Speaker 6: close to Shane and he worked under him at the
Speaker 6: Rabbit Ducks. And I think they will if they run
Speaker 6: last or even second last, they'll have to look at
Speaker 6: other options.
Speaker 5: Not just for the way the football side's playing.
Speaker 6: That club needs to create an environment where people like
Speaker 6: Talon de Silver and Lachlan Galvin want to play footy
Speaker 6: for the rest of their careers, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Enough of the Tigers.
Speaker 1: Anthony Sebi was under all sorts of pressure ahead of
Speaker 1: Mainly's win against the Tigers, which led to some interesting
Speaker 1: comments around the realities of coaching in the NRL.
Speaker 11: Well, look, what's pressure about it. Let's put perspective on this,
Speaker 11: what's going on over in Israel and Ukraine and all
Speaker 11: that's pressure, right.
Speaker 2: The really of it is, guys, like I've got if
Speaker 2: you think.
Speaker 11: About life, right, every single one of us are going
Speaker 11: to die, every single one of us, right, and so
Speaker 11: if you work back from that point, you really it's
Speaker 11: not to be more, but but you really work out
Speaker 11: what's important in life.
Speaker 5: And I'm really.
Speaker 11: Passionate about coaching, but I'm also passionate about other things
Speaker 11: as well, So it's not pressure. You've got to put
Speaker 11: perspective one of these things. Guys, it's a game of footy.
Speaker 11: We'll go out there and we're going to play really
Speaker 11: well tomorrow and I've got.
Speaker 5: No doubt about that.
Speaker 2: Well, that was intense.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know already, If you didn't know already, guys,
Speaker 1: we're going to die one day.
Speaker 5: What are you talking about? To tell you what?
Speaker 2: I found very He wan't talking to me. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what I was. What did you think? A bit
Speaker 2: strange under pressure?
Speaker 8: I think everything's just starting to get to him just
Speaker 8: a little bit. It's starting the sense a bit of Brisbane,
Speaker 8: you know, when it all started unraveled and he just
Speaker 8: started going off course a little bit. And maybe maybe
Speaker 8: that started, like it's been a tough year. If you're
Speaker 8: a manly supporter, DCE Tommy changing positions, what's happening there.
Speaker 8: It is a tough tough job being a coach. But
Speaker 8: that was a little bit strange for me.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you the press conference that shop he was
Speaker 6: after the game when d C was asked about Steve's
Speaker 6: having his back, and he spoke about how tight he
Speaker 6: was with Seabold, and you know they had had these
Speaker 6: really good three years together, so close.
Speaker 5: He didn't invite him to his wedding, well he didn't,
Speaker 5: and then he walked out on him in round.
Speaker 2: Three, So so you think there's a bit of.
Speaker 6: Po It was an odd thing to say for Blake.
Speaker 6: It walks out in the coach and it doesn't.
Speaker 5: Birthday well, you might think it anything, but I do
Speaker 5: apparently do you think it should you invite your coach
Speaker 5: to your wedding?
Speaker 3: Not necessarily, Okay, I think you.
Speaker 2: Need to, but it shows that you are read. You
Speaker 2: come to.
Speaker 5: Mind in Vegas.
Speaker 4: I think what those comments, what I took from those
Speaker 4: comments was that he went through a hell at Brisbane
Speaker 4: and he's it's given him some perspective about It's a
Speaker 4: bit like those Nico Heines comments last year and everyone went,
Speaker 4: what's Nico doing?
Speaker 3: Football should be everything?
Speaker 2: His be all.
Speaker 4: It's not right at the end of it, and we
Speaker 4: talked about that last year with Niko good But Steves,
Speaker 4: I think Sieves is just realized that something's more important
Speaker 4: than what you really cool.
Speaker 3: It's number one baby, with the.
Speaker 5: Spotlight, with the blow torch.
Speaker 6: It's the world's hardest job coaching an n RL franchise.
Speaker 6: And you look at chain planning and last week and
Speaker 6: you look at that press box and the way that
Speaker 6: the pressure was.
Speaker 5: You know, he didn't look well.
Speaker 4: That was I saw Seeds after the game on Friday night.
Speaker 4: A man, he looks so happy, look like the way
Speaker 4: to the world was off.
Speaker 1: U League all right, stigure out as we head to right.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the nominees for our sports
Speaker 1: bed play over the Round
