00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: Unbelievable career that's here and abroad, and you've moved into

86
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: McDonald's and a couple of McDonald's.

87
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah we do.

88
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: So that's been about seven years now. Yeah three stores,

89
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: got three yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I finished the

90
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: playing and fished administration stuff, I was just look for

91
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 3: something totally different.

92
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: So I just had probably.

93
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: About nine months for the first time really ever, nine

94
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: months of doing nothing, just talking to people. And I

95
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: did know a couple of the licensees in Newcastle just

96
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: from sponsoring the footy clup all those times.

97
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 1: So they're one of the guys that are quite true brought.

98
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: Up with and so they asually then stepped in a

99
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: little bit, did all the training and yeah, so what's

100
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: what's so gives it to owner McDonalds If you go

101
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: to work a certain amount of time for you.

102
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: You do, so you go through an interview process.

103
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: It's pretty so it's probably about nine months of interviews

104
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: and then then you've got to go on the store

105
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: and train for twelve months. So they started from scratch.

106
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: You've got to learn everything from scratch all the way through.

107
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: So that's just no pay, no pay, no pay.

108
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: So you would have been you're retired, and then you're

109
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: obviously an exit n a real quite well known and

110
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 5: you're behind the camera taking order.

111
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: That funny story. When I got approved to start the training,

112
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: they sent me to Walls and McDonald's, which is where

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was during the time for Tigler.

140
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: But when Wayne was at the club, how was that

141
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: was a stress?

142
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 3: It was a whirlwind, but good a good experience in general,

143
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: you know, managing the highs and the loads of all that,

144
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: because there was difficult periods where we should because the

145
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: club has always struggled for money, and then we thought

146
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: we had all this money. That kind of didn't work out.

147
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: Wayne's there, but it was brilliant. So chief was achievement

148

Speaker 3: at the time and when was the head coach. Yeah,

149
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: just absolutely brilliant just to try and to navigate the

150
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: team through that and the team probably before one become

151
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,520

152
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,039

153
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: had a real took over for a period of time

154
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: three years and then when they started the Cup of

00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: going on through that time.

158
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: It must have been hard gigs because when some would happen,

159
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: first person they go to is to see Yeah, you.

160
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Must have been a gall at the time.

161
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there was, it was. There were some really

162
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: difficult periods. But yeah, as I said, I have a

163
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: chief and Wayne it was just brilliant.

164
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Too soon. Your guys have sooner all adversity and managed

165
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: lots of different things.

166
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: How much experience do you have like in a CEO role?

167
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: None?

168
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: Zero, So because I always think that right, like so.

169
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: Many NRL players go back and get into sort of

170
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 5: the business side of a club that they say that

171
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 5: none more than the Knights. I feel that the Knights

172
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 5: always welcomed so many of the old boys back. You

173
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: had no experience. So I'd been in the UK, I'd

174
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 5: done an NBA. You knew I was playing. So but

175
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: then when I went to the UK and finished playing

176
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: at the clubs, if you want to come back and

177
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 5: take on like a like a like a business development pro.

178
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 5: So I was doing that, which I actually enjoy it.

179
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: You go down me sponsors and stuff and actually getting Yeah,

180
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 5: I spent some time with him where's the player?

181
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: You know, you got to function.

182
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: You see them for five men, your hairshake and you

183
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: can't wait to sort of yeah, get out of there.

184
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: So I did that for about twelve months and then

185
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: the tingle thing came over there and I said you go.

186
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: So it was it was totally out of the blue.

187
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: But then, yeah, learn a bunch of stuff. Without that experience,

188
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: I wouldn't I wouldn't have.

189
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: Gone to the Donald's. They wouldn't have let me in

190
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: as I had. You needed some sort of business experience

191
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: to get in. First day when you walk into your

192
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: office to see it.

193
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: Was a little bit like George Kastanza where you're sitting there, Okay,

194
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: what are you working on?

195
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: I've done my first job out of school. I stopped

196
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 4: going man for a while, and then I got a job.

197
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: My mate said his dad ran one of the vineyards,

198
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: Golden great Vinyar. He said, they're looking for a handyman.

199
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: You'd be perfect for that. I can't do anything. What

200
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: does that? Mate? So first job I walk in the

201
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: first day that Maddy, first time we make the right one.

202
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 4: It's made the grass overground right on mas Broke. Can

203
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: you fix it and get out there? And I'm like, yeah, yeah,

204
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: no worries. Literally I went out the back.

205
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: And just sat on the right right on No for

206
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: two weeks, mate, like we've got a bit of a

207
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: problem and I just can't get this game.

208
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 6: Give.

209
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: And then at times they get there, a bus will

210
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 4: pull up for wine tasting, and you know, all all

211
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: the people who served on them would go in to

212
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: the to the room. And that's how you've got to

213
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: work behind the bar. People coming in, you know, didn't

214
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: taste wine and they go, oh you're doing, hello, how

215
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: you doing?

216
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,360

00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: one second. I'll just reading.

218
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: I was in the deepen as well. Yeah, busy time,

219
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: but learn learn a bunch, learn a lot through that period,

220
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: which is good did.

221
00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: Your dad play together?

222
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Yes, we played a lot.

223
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: How many because you didn't play with heeps? No, no,

224
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 3: you came in ninety six, ninety six, ninety six, ninety six, seven,

225
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: eight nine and two years are hundred.

226
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: Games we're talking about the other day. How much fun?

227
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 4: Like it actually didn't it didn't feel like professional.

228
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Sport, didn't. Well.

229
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: I had the same conversation with James Grahame nowther ight

230
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: we're having a beer. I went from the Knights. One

231
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: of my thought I saw at St. Helen's and it

232
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: was exactly this home. Oh wow, in terms of just

233
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: like we had a heap of phone during the week.

234
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: Heap said, how it plays in the team, and I reckon,

235
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: we used to switch on properly for probably you.

236
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: Know, the eighty minutes every week and just get it

237
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: and just get it, Doneline.

238
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: We took the footy really seriously, but we still had

239
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: a really good time, do we the way through?

240
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: It was just so much fun. And we you know,

241
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: a bloke like Malcolm really he fed that ye like

242
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: he went in there and he just saw I remember

243
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 4: when he arrived he looked at us and it was

244
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: really good timing for for mal because we're all these

245
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: young guys who came through and we're just peaking. And

246
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: I remember he didn't come to the first training session.

247
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 4: Watched and then went to one of our assistant coaches

248
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 4: and said, mate, I've just coached the great you know,

249
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: the great Britain side made these blokes fucking.

250
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: Far better Adam mull and you know hurts you and Bain.

251
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: He very good, very very.

252
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: He was the one we always trained properly, didn't we

253
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: really digate physically, and then we had to help it plays,

254
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: but we had we had some times.

255
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Because you were you were the right center, but you

256
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: were outside Dad.

257
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Or Joey both sides.

258
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: We never played. We never played left right. We just

259
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: we just wandered around.

260
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 3: With many Joey did. I was on the right the

261
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: whole time, but when I first came and I just

262
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: want to plugged any hole, like so so probably ninety

263
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: six ye, Like if Madie was injured, I think he

264
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: did meet it one stage. I might have played ten games.

265
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: But then I played the wing for a while because

266
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: someone's injured, I played him at a fullback. So I

267
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: just kind of just floated around until like there was

268
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: a spot them and there was just a spot. I

269
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: never played the set as my whole waf fumtil first grade.

270
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 5: Really because I imagine playing outside of Matthew's quite a

271
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 5: I would say, a kind of soul of the brothers,

272
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 5: whereas Andrew probably used more of the perfectionists.

273
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: And if you did something wrong, drop a ball that

274
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: passed you would have given.

275
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: You a smile.

276
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: I reckon one of one of the only ones that

277
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: didn't get a spray from him. I don't know how

278
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: I manage that. That man he used to take probably

279
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: some of my sprays, he used to intercept them.

280
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: He's good. He could give a spray of course.

281
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's only because the stands was that high,

282
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

283
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: And it's not funny. Like Coop said, he's perfectionists. He

284
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: expect perfection for others.

285
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Yet he was double stands maybe from a little bit

286
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: of that. Like we had one point you. We had

287
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: you on the right and had Tomato on the left.

288
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: Remember once playing Al used to just say, sometimes if

289
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: there's an offload, we just throw it.

290
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: I remember playing the troll game one day Coops Jack

291
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: and we're playing.

292
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: It was Paramatter, playing Paramatter out the bush somewhere and

293
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 4: went bang and you had you caught the ball about

294
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: thirty minutes from the sideline, held a bike and did

295
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: the famous Guidi Fleck went bang through it. Honestly, twenty

296
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: five meders to Lenny beckett Len it's good.

297
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: But we always had we had good finishes too, like

298
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: that's what people talking about. Maybe I always had great

299
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: finishes like a initially was. I don't know whether people

300
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: sort of realized. I mean, we did.

301
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 3: We train him every day, but I'm talking electric on

302
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: another scale.

303
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: Like speak ye, not just fast line fast.

304
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: I said, I think he's as far as football fast,

305
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 3: the quickest ever. I think I remember like he'd go

306
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: and made you actually accelerate off a step because when

307
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: he was chasing someone made because well that's good, that's great,

308
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: it's the best example of it. But he's doing that

309
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: and train all the time. Someone like another winger get

310
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: away and he just mowed them down easily. Yeah, so

311
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: we had good We always had good finishes to do.

312
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 3: We always had good finishing. Tomato finish beautifully obviously, and

313
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 3: then tomorrow.

314
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny about Albie Darren.

315
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: Alble was the complete opposite of what you're looking for

316
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 4: now from wingers. They speak to finish with wingers, you know,

317
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 4: they toil and work hard, they lead yardage and stuff

318
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: like that. And I remember about a month out from

319
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: the semi finals in ninety seven was remember Buttsy and

320
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: Chief have long at the stats, come to a meeting

321
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 4: and just said, we just want to say something. Turned

322
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 4: to Albi and said, are you freaking kidding me?

323
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: In that game you.

324
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 4: Had one run for two meters, And now I think

325
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: about it was which we said at the time, said yeah,

326
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: but when we need something, he win us the game.

327
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: And you go to the back end of that year

328
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 4: they tackle on Matt's is and of course schools that

329
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: try to win the game.

330
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: That was just that was the nature of ease game.

331
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: You're right, but in terms of the modern day winger

332
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: made that wouldn't stack up anymore. You couldn't have you

333
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: couldn't get away. But these days, but back it was

334
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: just just leave him, let him do his thing. He

335
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: winns games, your saviors games. We had to finish. I think,

336
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: of course we're on the other side.

337
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he won't be happy with that.

338
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, mate, Jackie, can we just slide? Dudes? We don't

339
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: have a bag billionaires because because We used to laugh about

340
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: Duke Dud's control.

341
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: Mup I throw off for Porky and I was to

342
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: laugh when sometimes he throw out Porky's at you. You

343
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: knew he was lying. He knew that, you know he

344
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: was lying, but he just kept double down. So when

345
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: he got at the end, I was like, you know,

346
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: he was like, you know.

347
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: What am I going to move into?

348
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: And he goes, I'm going to I'm working on this,

349
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, protein shake and stuff like that, and

350
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: we're like, oh, yeah, good luck.

351
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: I sold it for six.

352
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 4: Hundred million and held on it held on like a

353
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: fifteen percent steak.

354
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: When he goes to that, it's an incredible story. Only

355
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: he could pull it off because he was actually this

356
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: entry bloke. He'd always have these things going on and mad.

357
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: He said a lot of the time they wouldn't go

358
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: in fruition, some like this one is always stuck.

359
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: We've got it done. That's not fluking.

360
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 5: Didn't some of the boys just say that. He would Basically,

361
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: you guys didn't really have dieticians back then. He sort

362
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 5: of get up and do a lot of the dietician

363
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 5: stuff for you guys.

364
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. He was always like ahead of a

365
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: that stuff that's hugues.

366
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, drive along in the car and all of a

367
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: sudden this time he goes off ding ding ding and

368
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: uh and these guys hugely guys made what's that?

369
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: He goes might just open up the thing just get

370
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: opens up and there's a block of cheese. He gets

371
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 4: just passed over.

372
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Just what was his theory?

373
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: That was just he used to eat it at different times,

374
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: like protein and stuff like that. We had we'd go

375
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 4: on these pre season camps to to Coffs Harbor.

376
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: That was basically just a week of drinking.

377
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: And then I remember Evan Cochran, who's one of the

378
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 4: great characters Cocker.

379
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: He got up in the middle of the night.

380
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: He was roomed with bergs, which would have been insufferable,

381
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 4: and he just got go sort of fridge opens up

382
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 4: and he says it so this whole thing of milk

383
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 4: and just went boom and it was just egg whites. Right, Imagine,

384
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 4: how did how.

385
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: Did do just go there?

386
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 5: Because imagine someone who's so like important on his health,

387
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 5: which a lot probably ahead of its time amongst probably

388
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 5: one of the Loosert Center l teams.

389
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: Ever, that's a good point.

390
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: It's a good question because he was you were, the

391
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: heaviest time of a lot of things he was doing.

392
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: But he kind of fitt in that fitted well. But

393
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 3: he's always delivered the field. He starts a good player.

394
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: I mean if you go back on.

395
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: The did he enjoy a good time too?

396
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd be in around. He wouldn't be there for

397
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: like all he would he wouldn't he wouldn't dream, he.

398
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: Wouldn't dream, but he certainly fighting in and would always

399
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 3: making bit of fun.

400
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: And he was always in the around. But he was

401
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: always just take off.

402
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 4: And so here's the thing is in that side two

403
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 4: gigs was which was so good. You had a lot

404
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 4: of different characters, like they're all sort of blended. I

405
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 4: mean Robber is one. Like Robbie was a real leftist

406
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: center guy, but that was no problem. I mean the

407
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 4: thing was if he trained hard, played well, but didn't

408
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: matter what.

409
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: Is games like they just they got it done for

410
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: us and they were super players. Just one to do.

411
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: I remember one of his theories, was it that you

412
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: said one days you said, I've got any waights training theory. Boys,

413
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm just going to go to the gym and do one.

414
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: Reply the one that's right what was behind me.

415
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: Brucey Gallop condition that who was a character himself. So

416
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: he put up and just going to the gym literally

417
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: the old lap pulled down. Yeah, put the whole thing on.

418
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: Just get bored once one, I mean we'll pack this.

419
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 3: Can't drive hard, so not even one rep on every end.

420
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: It's just one, just do one rep and then.

421
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: He and then just gone.

422
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: And sometimes Brucey Gallagher, who there I was thinkings to

423
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 3: bruce was he was a sprint coach, but.

424
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 4: One of one of the great characters. And megal loose,

425
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 4: which is sort of strange for a strength that could be.

426
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: Ever the time right, He's run for you well before

427
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: he did that about one rep, remember once on the

428
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: gym and Brucey Gallaher's going, condudes, get it down there,

429
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: get boom bag, and he's a he's about to walk out,

430
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 3: and he gave not today, give us one more.

431
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 5: Only Robbie I would do that, no one else So

432
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: only do did it, and no one else in the

433
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 5: team followed it.

434
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: No, we're just all doing the regular program, you know,

435
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: we be in there doing the whole ten rep things going.

436
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: Because he was just unique. Whatever he's playing like that.

437
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 3: You can do whatever he wants to.

438
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: Remember, Bruce Galloper at that time out of theory went like,

439
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: you know, like just getting the legs in the case.

440
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 4: He said, mate, today boys, we're doing four hundreds downhill.

441
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 4: I think here would park and we're just running downhill.

442
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: You don't even break sweat.

443
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: He was going, fantastic, boys, that's it, just roll off

444
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: the ball of feet.

445
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 4: Remember Brucey Gallop at one of the gas he gets

446
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: here once it was the day before the game, and

447
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: trucks from the massage table, and and in Bruce Gallagher's

448
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 4: mind he goes the big film needs to lift, and

449
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 4: he goes and he was massaging. There's a thing for

450
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: block or something. It's the hottest liniment you can put on.

451
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: It's just credit. So he gets up right and he

452
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 4: goes a chief. This is a few mate, when a

453
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: big one fit of myra and he drops his strides,

454
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: just tips all the wood lock in his hands and

455
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: just starts rubbing again.

456
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: The wood loss is in like then corrupt.

457
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: But but but it's off the richtsar.

458
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 3: It's off the richterscar and made him put it all

459
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: around his anus and his balls. An old feller. Right

460
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: about five minutes in chief looks up and.

461
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: He's literally game. He's the red yarn. Someone called an ambulance.

462
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 7: Game.

463
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: This was.

464
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: Call an ambulance actually, remember one of the other ones was.

465
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: This was Bruce himself. He'd be driving around. He wanted

466
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: a tricky his mind. He has been fast twitch stuff.

467
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: He'll just be.

468
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 3: Driving around and then all of a sudden just pull

469
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: over side the road and sprint up a hill road,

470
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 3: come back down and get this car drop off. Just

471
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,840

00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: They'll take them off.

500
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: You need to be years hard enough on just because

501
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: what really worked for Bruce.

502
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: And there was so much good timing in those great

503
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 4: years with the Knights because David Waite and Alan Bell

504
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 4: and alim My marm were great educators and they put

505
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 4: the football education and everyone.

506
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: And then mal came in.

507
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 4: He was an unbelievable man manager on the wind and discipline,

508
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: and then you had our strength and condition. Before Bruce

509
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: Cameme was a fellow called Ashley Jones and men brad

510
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: Thorn was talking about a black and mate he.

511
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: Just trained to sober mad memory. You said oh, we

512
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: did drive him mad, but he would.

513
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: He put a lot of work into us and really professional,

514
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 4: a lot of miles protty too much and then does

515
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: and then you get Bruce to come in. It was

516
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: minimalist and he think was just speed and power and

517
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 4: it worked in the combat room. Yeah, that's right. But

518
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: you're right about all that stuff beforehand. Definitely, because it

519
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 4: all comes to you know, it takes period of time

520
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 4: to day. But yeah, there's definitely some characters.

521
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: Whatever.

522
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 4: This for a strange one board that ninety seven year

523
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 4: when we win. So Mal Malcolm is the coach. Our

524
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 4: assistant coach is pet Peter Sharper thin sharp.

525
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: It was a preserve great coach.

526
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 4: Our assistant coach was a guy called Steve Dunstan Swede

527
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: who knew absolutely nothing about foot.

528
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,679

00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,040

566
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: between you two? Like it was last sixty four now

567

00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 6: So was he?

569
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: You were like you were the older one in the

570
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: playing squad when you first come.

571
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: In problemly midwife the range which is chief and then

572

Speaker 1: here quite pretty soon.

575
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 5: I just want to ask, was because you know how

576
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 5: we're playing when you might be a younger guy coming

577
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 5: into the squad and the older guys you try to

578
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 5: put the put the stern word or a bit of

579
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 5: hazing go out.

580
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: Was there ever any of that stuff going on?

581
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: It was the opposite of that car really yeah, do

582
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: you know what?

583
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: We We took it for the super serious and particularly

584
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 3: particularly Dad like in terms of the way we played

585
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: and the way we trained, and the way we we

586
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 3: could get the most out of each other, the way

587
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: we won't playing on the off.

588
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: Float and board.

589
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: That was your dad come on, calculated really good. But

590
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 3: the other end it was just it was just fun.

591
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 3: In between all that evident, it was just mate. Some

592
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 3: of the we did take a spot series really and

593
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: seeing about these kids, which I look back on now

594
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: and we look back at it with pride, is the

595
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: fact that a young player could just come into our squad,

596
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 3: but if we're doing a video session, we could turn

597
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 3: we'd turn to him and say what do you think?

598
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 4: And he had a zook will says everybody he could

599
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 4: get there and say I think about that. Boys will

600
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 4: go okay. And Ma was like that, like it was

601
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 4: a really player driven team. And like the ninety seven

602
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 4: year is a perfect example. I said before you got

603
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 4: swed Hopeful origin coage. But who's reserve grade. You've got

604
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 4: Peter Sharp who was there and everything. As we start

605
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 4: preseason training, Mal goes back to England.

606
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: His dad was sick.

607
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 4: Mal comes back. He's only back for a few days.

608
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 4: He's got to go back to his mum. That whole preseason.

609
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: We just basically did by ourselves and Sharpie at the

610
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: same got pinched by Paramatta. So Malcolm Rangus had just said, you,

611
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 4: Blake's just the way you go. Come up the game planning,

612
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 4: come over the players and everything. And he came back

613
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 4: from England and goes, how are we going to play?

614
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 4: We said that that sounds good to me, and that's

615
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 4: that was like he was without an ego.

616
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was growing because we had our boys were

617
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 3: Maddy and Joe were great and just working out who

618
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 3: was coming to me, what their strengths were, and how

619
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: do we get those strengths somehow. Because I wasn't a

620
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: traditional sham. I wasn't a big, fast or strong on

621
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: those sort of thing. So I said the boys, I'm

622
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 3: no good at busting through the lawn and that sort

623
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: of stuff. So they said, we'll just give you early

624
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: and you try to create something out there for us,

625
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 3: because we don't wanted some hells. They played the opposite way.

626
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: They were playing deep into the line and I was

627
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: catching the ball in the line. I actually can't have

628
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: an influence on this team. I'm not just training like that.

629
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: But then the boys used to say, I said, boys,

630
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: if we get a chance, sometimes just throwing a few

631
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: early balls and I'll see if I can.

632
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: Do something we started were able to do. But the

633
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: first thor or six months, I was thinking, I'm gonna

634
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 3: have to figure out how to play this. Yeah, slippery,

635
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: wet conditions and just ye playing in the line. So yeah,

636
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 3: we were.

637
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 5: You're like, you might be pretty humble when asked this question,

638
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 5: but like you pretty well have revolutionized the way that

639
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 5: center's played, particularly in that era, and now, like you

640
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 5: look back now, I don't think any rugby league player

641
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 5: has you know, whether it's a side step of flick pass,

642
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 5: obviously the gidly flick like to have that sort of

643
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 5: impact on a skill set, it's pretty impressed because no

644
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 5: one there's no one, you know, in torpedoes all that

645
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 5: sort of stuff. Nobody thinks of that and thinks of

646
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 5: one player. Whereas the flick pass, like everybody says your name.

647
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: And it's a bit bizarre because it was it just

648
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: sort of it just happened over preseason because remember during

649
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: the preseasons, maybe we've had a lot of beach footy.

650
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: So they say, once we get out and put a

651
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: jumpers on and you can't really use you for work

652
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: in the sand, and the forwards just bashing into it

653
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 3: and they're strong.

654
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: But Chief used to have it used to get pretty dasky.

655
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: So that just came from playing beach footy, like just

656
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 3: sort of parming and offload, bumping and offloading, because that's.

657
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: All beach food, isn't it. Offload?

658
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, So then that just I just sort of carry

659
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: that into the games. I never practiced it or anything.

660
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: It just sort of was naturally sort of one of

661
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: the most played on seven. That game we played against St.

662
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 4: Georgia Ware that night in ninety nine, which got called

663
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: the game but the number one game of the nineties,

664
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 4: and the last play of the game Coops Jack is

665
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 4: that they've come behind and just go and try and try.

666
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 4: We find ourselves behind by two points and then we

667
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: did a short kickoff and scrum and the sirens about

668
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 4: to go. We get the scrum and ized fire the

669
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 4: ball to kids. The kids goes across and just goes

670
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 4: bang and you'll literally throw a blind flick to Albi.

671
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you would have been his speed there.

672
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: If you look at that try. They're talking about the past,

673
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: but look at the speed heard Anthony Munday coming across.

674
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: It was who was sharp like try what a bit like?

675
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: And what he did to he got around, He had

676
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: the ball in one hand and he was tiptoeing on

677
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: the deadline. Thus has come put the because you remember

678
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: we actually we had a bit of rival with St.

679
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: George during that period because remember a few Newcastle boys were.

680
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: Hades, Sarren Tracy, James, Tangles was Tangles down, you remember,

681
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: Yet for some reason we.

682
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 3: Just yell against their teams. And they were a really

683
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: good team as well during that period. So when they

684
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: scored to death, they were sort of carrying the game.

685
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: They scored it on a minute ago and then we're

686
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 3: able to get that done.

687
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: But I reckon.

688
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: That's another example of that speed that when you talk

689
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: about the tackle on Madni series.

690
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: But look at that as well. Look who was chasing

691
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: him and looks how easily he's incredible.

692
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 4: Gids, So listen, Gids, because we're here in Vegas, all

693
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 4: the boys, Newcastle boys here.

694
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: You know you've got to get down to get on

695
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: the source. The final one.

696
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 4: When we're talking about Malcolm and famous stories and this

697
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: is hard to believe. This is about a week or

698
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: two before the Grand Final, our great mate Stephen Crowe

699
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 4: and mal got in the room and had a fight

700
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 4: and you can see it. It still goes around. So

701
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: the night before we're all having to move after a

702
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 4: game and Malcolm, seeing it was armorously no one could

703
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: beat Malmnar Crowe kept taking him mind anyway, oboat him,

704
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 4: and then Crowey said, well, I'd like to get you

705
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 4: in the ring. Sometimes Malcolm rang the condition of Bruce

706
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 4: galliher and said, make cancel the pool session. We're going

707
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 4: to the gym, the boxing gym. So we turn up

708
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 4: there and males ready to go. So they both put

709
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 4: the head gears on and.

710
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: You could tell Melby think about all night. Yeah, because

711
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: he's such a ferocious competitor.

712
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: Can he be later?

713
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: And honestly just drew how old males he would have

714
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: been there. He would have been late fifties, early sixties probably,

715
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: and Crowe's twenty eight.

716
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: So he's older than you now. Yeah, he's probably the

717
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: early sixties.

718
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: What happens in the ring, because we all think it's

719
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 4: going to be sort of Jamar ran forward and goes

720
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: bang and then Bang hits him with a melbow. Cowe

721
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 4: goes back, hits he billy drops him and they just

722
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: get it actually got so nasty. It's about two minutes

723
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 4: ago and Chief just runs in actually has to separate.

724
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 6: Ye we saw just before the Grand Fire. He could

725
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 6: have broken, he would have he would have been even

726
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 6: I thought it'd be a bit of a jab thing,

727
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 6: and it was that intense and for disgusting. Chief just

728
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 6: jumps in and separates and we're all like, oh my god.

729
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: That just happened. You could see then in that moment,

730
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: just when when he should have gone into.

731
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 4: That or the other one was give people an idea

732
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 4: how big a competitor he was. Two months to finish with.

733
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 4: It was firstly Chief break break the record on three

734
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: thousand meters on the on the rower. And now comes

735
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 4: in and you know how strength our strength coach Dellas

736
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 4: Rose key.

737
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: Conditions. He owned the gym. We used to train the

738
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: public gym.

739
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: Public gym, so they go right over five bench press

740
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: at eight and sometimes it'd be a little old lady,

741
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: you'd have to stay there, your chiefess to sets.

742
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: You were to get on, let me dressed up. You

Speaker 1: That's right. I've seen them in the day when there

745
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,120

Speaker 3: Jumped on and broke it by about a second, but

763
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 3: then just rolled off to the side, and they thought

764
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: he was having a heart attacks that they had to

765
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: call an ambulance taking the hospital.

766
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: Cheat if he got a heart attack. It was just

00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 4: bit pool. Everyone's having a crack furtherest one of the

771
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: boys are about thirty five to forty meters. Mate Malin

00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 4: couldn't even swim, and he goes, Maddie, let me hear togs,

Speaker 4: see him at the twenty five meter marks.

781
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: The heads just go red and then boys start diving

782
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: on strokes, getting some ward.

783
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: It was like from sideways doing that. And then boys

784
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,080
