19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: going to select a team out of current rugby league players.

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: They could be players here in the NRL coup, they

00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: can be Super league players, it doesn't matter. And this team, okay,

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: this team thirteen players, four inter change, one coach you

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,160

00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: a team, seventeen men team and they must win to

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: save your life. Okay, we cross that.

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got that. That's fine. Questions question for you,

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: Okay when picking this side, because there's people who have

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: just debuted in the NURL and whatnot. Are we taking

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: them for how they're playing right now, or for like

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: just whoever's playing and your their ability or that stuff.

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: Let me make something clear. It can be anything you can.

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: You can pick a player even if they're injured. VI.

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: Yes that that counts registered rugby league players now thinking

35
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: about it, mate, they can be in terrible form, they

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: can be killing it. They can be tough, they can

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: be talented, it doesn't matter. I want you to pick

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: a team that you think can win if your life's

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: on the line. So it's thirteen players, four inter change players,

40
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: one coach you can't pick. Okay, here's some we can't

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: pick the same player. We're going to pick one for

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: one okay, and the player you select must have played

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: in that position at least fifty percent of their career.

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: So for instance, you can't go oh Tom Travoyevitch on

45
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: the wing, can't do that, right, so we cross that.

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.

47
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: So what we're going to do right and what we

48
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: want to do this listeners, we want you to let

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: us know which team wins in your feedback. You tell

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: us who wins, what the score was, and who was

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 2: the man of the match. Right, let's go start with fullback,

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: right out. Let's go paper scissors rock to see who

53
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: goes first.

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: You're ready, Jesus, paper rocks, paper rock.

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: Just let people know we've gone and rock rock?

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Okay is paper rock? Yeah? I got cha? You go first?

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: Okay. So we're going to do fullback, Yes, okay, I'm

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 2: going Dylan Edwards. It's a red hot position. I'm going

59
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: Dylan Edwards. Mate, I'd back him. I'd back him with

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: my wife. Dylan Edwards.

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: He's pretty good.

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: You tell me how many bad games he's played in

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: the last three years.

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: Not many, very if any.

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: If Any is the fittest of Penrith. He's the best

66
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: trainer at Penrith. He's, in my opinion, the most consistent

67
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: in a great side, most consistent and they tell me

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: on top of all those things. He could have been

69
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: a could have been a serious boxer, potentially a champion boxer.

70
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: So on a night out after the game with a

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: few beers, if the ship hits the fan, he can look,

72
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: he can look after me. Who's your fullback?

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm going Reese Welsh. I think. I know he's only

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: early in his career compared to some of the other fullbacks,

75
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: but I just think the skills that he has. He's

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: running game, he just overall flair, his kicking game a

77
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: little bit of an underrated part of him, and his

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: ball playing, his ability even if you want to jam him,

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: his quick hands. Not many fullbacks this early have have

80
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: all those skills. There's usually one way that you can

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: defend them that if he's really quick. Edges say, we'll

82
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: just get up and jam him, but he can. Actually,

83
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: here's one of the few fullbacks that there's not a

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: set way you can defend him. So that's why he's

85
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: my fullback.

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: Okay have you played against Rues?

87
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: Yes you did.

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: Okay, we're about when he was at the Warriors.

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Or Bronco Suncourt last year.

90
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Okay, we're Fleggler emptied out on my

91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: side for that reason, Okay, did you have to defend

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: against him one on one really strong?

93
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: Is he really really? He reminds me of like that

94
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: Teddy Early, So he's got that like teddiness about him

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: where when he comes into line, he kind of pinballs

96
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: around and he can back away and fend and things

97
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: like that. And our front row was like, I just

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: can't get our hands on him. But he's just slippery

99
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: and he's just backing away.

100
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: Is he got much chirp on the field? Does he talk?

101
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: He had a couple to make, he said a couple

102
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: of things to me. I'd had a couple of nights

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: on the piss with him though before, so he was

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: kind of like, there's a kick return and he runs

105
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: straight at me. But we were and like there was

106
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: a bit of that, but not a heap, not a

107
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: heap of like that sort of stuff in him. But

108
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: that was our plan, our plan. I remember saying to

109
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Brad Parker, who was my center at the time, I said,

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: let's just I'll put the back roller on my inside shoulder, yep,

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: and you just jam Reese out the back because like

112
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: he's so quick that he's going to put us under pressure.

113
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: But then even when we tried to jam him. It

114
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: was either a quick hands or he's so strong like

115
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: in the hips that he can kind of it. He's

116
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: really hard to jam and go and stop him. So

117
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Parks found it really hard.

118
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: So I've gone Dylan Edwards your Reese Walsh.

119
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: So now do I go?

120
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: You go first, Now you go for your first pick

121
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: of the wings. Do I pick one winger, one winger.

122
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to go Brian To think he's probably on

123
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: part to probably going to be the best winger ever.

124
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: I think I think he's the greatest yardage winger of

125
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: all time.

126
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's And a lot of people might not

127
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: see what he does off the ball, how hard he

128
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: works back on kick returns, to push with Dylan edwins

129
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: and things like that. So I'm going to go.

130
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: Ty Okay, I'm going to go Ronaldo Malaitala. He's in

131
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: my He's my favorite winger, multi dimensional, huge competitor, dynamite

132
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: in yardage, great finisher, and I like it. He's got

133
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: a lot of chirp in him. He's a great competitor.

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: That tell me he drives people mad on the field.

135
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: I like that, Yeah, I like that. He's a great competitor.

136
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: The only thing I like about him my team. I'm

137
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: looking for a no dickhead's policy too. I want to

138
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm picking a team not just to save my life,

139
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: but good bloe that I want to be. I want

140
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 2: to be around right that I would like to coach.

141
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: Mulatalo is won. I've never met him, but I think

142
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: sometimes I'll put it this way, I think there's a

143
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: lot about his personality. Me and your mum, We're at

144
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: the airport. He just come up to Tricia and I

145
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: introduced himself and I was just really impressed with him.

146
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: It takes a lot of character.

147
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: I really reckon. He's a good bloke. Nikko says that

148
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: training he's the worst bloke to ever training against because

149
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: he chirps even at the boys. But I've met him

150
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: off the field and he's a bloody good BLOKEE it's

151
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: completely different bloke.

152
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Now I pick in the next first pick of

153
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: the next winger. Dulan Wotine is a Leslie again, multi dimensional,

154
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: really strong in yardage, powerhouse and yardage, phenomenal finisher and

155
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: great in the air. He's got experience. He's a great leader.

156
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: I've never met. I've never met Dylan, but I hear

157
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: he's an excellent fellow as well.

158
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: Good hair.

159
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: He's got wonderful, great hair as well.

160
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Did you take that into account?

161
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: The hair? Not really, I'm not as you you won't

162
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: be surprised. I'm not really a hair guy.

163
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, My next one is going to be

164
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: I think, my opinion, the best current winger in the NFL,

165
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: Xavier Coats. I think, you know, we've got the yard now.

166
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: I think he's probably the best finisher in the NFL

167
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: and aerial threat, you know, Queensland player and just a

168
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: great athlete, sprinting background, comes from a sprinting background, really

169
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: does a lot of truck track training.

170
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: He's very high hipped, he very holds himself very tall.

171
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: But he's starting to really And I was down at

172
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: Melbourne earlier earlier last week and I was chatting to

173
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the strength team about him and they said, he's just

174
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: he's just really developed the last twelve months from being

175
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: kind of still a young kid. He's only twenty two.

176
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Now he's only twenty two, so now he's early debude,

177
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: so young, and then now he's starting to realize just

178
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: how big and physical he is. And he's really maturing.

179
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: I think he's just gonna come on leaps and bounds.

180
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: Never met. He's a good fella, one of the best

181
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: blokes you've probably the one of the nicest, best blokes

182
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: you've ever met. Well, well, that's I like that he

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: looks at I got a center center. You lead off

184
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: in the centers, so you got Reese Wall, Xavier Coach.

185
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm Dylan Edwards, Ronaldo Malatalo and Dylan Wood tins A

186
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: lesliek Okay, I might need your approval on these two

187
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: guys because the rule was they have to have played

188
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: fifty in this position. I picked Latrell Mitchell.

189
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, sure, I think I'll give you that.

190
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: He's probably played fifty to fifty. I think, sir, so

191
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm on Latrell Mitchell my left center. I think Sena

192
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: is still his best position in my opinion. I think

193
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: left foot, big, left foot step, right foot, fend, and

194
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: a little left flick. I think he's got all the

195
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: attributes to be the best.

196
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: Center, phenomenal, phenomenal player like Latrell. Similarly, you know, I

197
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: think you judge a lot of time a person's character

198
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: on how they treat your loved ones. Like it's very easy.

199
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: Like you get a person player to come up and

200
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: because you know, I'm on a show and you have opinion,

201
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 2: most people will come up and they'll be nice, you

202
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: know what I mean. But it's how they treat your

203
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: loved ones, like Latrell. Every time that I've met Latrell

204
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: in Trisha's company, he's been so nice to Trish. And

205
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: I think that says a lot about a person. I've

206
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: got Stephen Crichton. I've gone Stepien. I love Crichton. I

207
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: think he's the best center in the game at the moment.

208
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: He's a great leader. He's proven a great leader at

209
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: the Bulldogs. I think he's one of the best defensive

210
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: centers I've ever seen. And the bloke's just pure class

211
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: in every way. And you know, we talk about him

212
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: as a person. We had him on the show two

213
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: weeks back and he was he was just so good. Yeah,

214
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: I think I loved about him right says a lot

215
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: about his leadership and his character. Number One, in the

216
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 2: ad breaks, we'd chat and he'd like look at you

217
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: right in the eye, like he would actually listen. And

218
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: the other thing I like about him on the show,

219
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: i'd ask Sometimes you ask a person a specific question

220
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: and the only other times you'll just throw it at

221
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: both the players. And he was on with Jaco mccraz

222
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 2: so i'd ask a question each time he would answer

223
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: Stephen because Acre was just sort of sitting there and

224
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: I asked a question, Steven answered, And as we went

225
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: to overlay, where you don't get to see us, we're

226
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: focusing on on pitchers, he slapped Careers on the leg

227
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: and went, come on, pick up.

228
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's because you see, especially when there's

229
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: two people on there with you and you're a footy player,

230
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: and and they'd be intimidated by being on your.

231
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: There in my company, I mean, I cast a big shadow, stustruck.

232
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good from someone who's only twenty

233
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: three years old.

234
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: I picked the next center. Yes, I'm going the hamm.

235
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm be going to go the hammer.

236
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

237
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good player hammer.

238
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: So he played fifty percent.

239
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he has those Jack's the thing, Yeah, Jack.

240
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: Jack shrugged his shoulders. I'll take that as yes. Yeah,

241
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: because at the Cowboys he was sort of a lot

242
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: of wing a lot of said, look, I'm going to

243
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: put it to you, do you want to rule that out.

244
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it to you. I'm going to

245
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: let you have it. You let me have the trail.

246
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: I'll give you that phenomenal player.

247
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: It's good player, He's.

248
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: One of those footballers. He just there's something magical about him.

249
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: Last year really surprised me where he picked Billy Slater

250
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: picked the Hammer ahead of Gags. They dropped Gags and

251
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: put him in, and I was openly critical of that,

252
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: not because the Hammer was selected, just not picking Gag guy.

253
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a guy won two Men of

254
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: the Wally Lewis and medals off the wing. But he's

255
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: just like Slater, he's one of those rare players that's

256
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: freakish but consistent. So my two centers, Crichton and the Hammer.

257
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: My next Sena then I'm going to pick Joey Marner

258
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: I think bringing back that rooster side Latrell and Joey Man,

259
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: who probably the best Senate's combination since Gasnir and Matt Cooper.

260
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: I would say, just both really specialist in that side,

261
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: both really hard to take on one on one, but

262
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: also they've got that X factor where they kind of

263
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: both float everywhere and they can pop up and just

264
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: not on their prospective side. So they're my two.

265
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: See what a I imagine he'll it's gonna have a

266
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 2: big impact Japanese rugby, a big impact and hopefully it

267
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: comes back to the game.

268
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: I think he would yeah, I would think. I think

269
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you just need we might just have a little breather

270
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: over there.

271
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: Because Japanese, well, mate, I'll say this, Japanese rugby speaking

272
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: a lot of players that have played there, the standard

273
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: of the rugby is probably six out of ten. It's

274
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: not like, you know, it's not that you're going to

275
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: a minnow like the rugby is pretty decent standard. But

276
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: they said the training if you've got a Japanese coach,

277
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: oh man, they said, the training is horrific. I'll talk

278
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 2: to pray Wing about it. And Stephen Girard who Stephen Gerard,

279
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: mart Girard who played there. They said, mate, like it's

280
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: they Japanese and Japanese rugby. You're a Japanese coach. They

281
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: put no currency in skill, it's all just fitness. All

282
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: their currencies in blood and sweat. So okay, okay, So.

283
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: Je you met Joeymner, Yeah, I met Joe Maner. Good

00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: you guys?

299
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Are you guys talking? I mean you? He was off

300
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: you big time when you did your you did your

00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: and him and Cheese their little off field incident.

304
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was. I think he was off for

305
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: about a couple of weeks. Thing about Money is he

306
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: forgets just as quickly as he reacts, so she usually

307
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: it goes in one ear and out the other with one.

308
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: Do you remember the time? So Tricia and I were

309
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: in the city for New Year's eove and we're in

310
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: the car coming back and I rang and so may

00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: you at your home? You went, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're

312
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: a little bit cagey. You know, well, what's going on?

313
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: He said, Oh, me and Monster are here at home.

314
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, here we go. So walk in the door

315
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: and new blokes behaving. You just look quite tidy. But

316
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: we're all having a few drinks at home and Tricia's

317
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: putting music on and he just kept changing the music.

318
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: I'm watching, truth, gun, this is not going to He's

319
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: not gonna He's not going to fucking end well, and

320
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: she's going she's getting irritated. Anyway, she put a song

321
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: on like awfully, Tricia's taste of music people, it is horrific,

322
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: like Sly in the Family starone We are Family. That

323
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: just turd of the song and Monster just changed it.

324
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: And she goes, I'm telling you, you are in my

325
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: fucking house, do not change some music. And he went,

326
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: you know what, putt the time you went to bed, Toots,

327
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: remember that did not go well?

328
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Nah? No, you know what? The funny thing about that thing.

329
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: The whole time it was Mum turned her back and

330
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,239
Speaker 1: she thought she heard Money say it, when in reality

331
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: it was actually me that said it. But I didn't

332
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: want to fall on the grenade because I knew she'd

333
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: go angrily at me, so Money fell on it for me.

334
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: So Money was like, nah, it was me. It was me,

335
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: And then he copped the brunt, and I just never

336
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: said anything to your mom because I didn't want him

337
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: to get in trouble. A good mate, Yeah, my favorite.

338
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: A quick mon story just for you guys. Twenty twenty,

339
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: after Storm won the camp, we're all on the pisce

340
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: and if for those people that didn't know, Origin got

341
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: moved after the season that year because of COVID, so

342
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: we were on the piece for like four days. And

343
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: the Queensland Boys a lot of the boys that Storm

344
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: being picked for Queensland, so they had a taxi picking

345
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: up like five of them, and by this stage everyone's

346
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: kind of they hung over, but they were probably over it,

347
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: like over the drunkness by now, and they were all

348
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: in the taxi waiting for Man and Mum was in

349
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: a floral tracks sitting in the lobby with Sunny's I'm

350
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: still on the piece with us, and he was going, no,

351
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm not coming. I'm going to see this tomorrow and

352
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: having one more night on the piece with the boys,

353
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: and they were like and the Cabby was just sitting

354
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: there for an hour, like, oh, I can't leave. So

355
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: then Money had to ring Wayne Bennett and he rang

356
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: rang Wayne and he goes, oh, Wayne, it's just telling

357
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: the boys, I'm going to come into camp tomorrow, I'm

358
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: to think, and Wayne was.

359
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: Like, get in the fucking cove right, Oh yeah, man

360
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: and men of the serious men of the match in

361
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: that first game series incredible. I've gone Tommy didn't. Tommy

362
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 2: love tom didn't again, like uh, Like Dylan Edwards, He's

363
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: a guy that I would trust with my life. He's

364
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: that sort of guy. He's incredibly consistent. He he's proved himself. Really,

365
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: he's a terrific leader. I just love him. A couple

366
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: of stories Fletch and I when we did a thing

367
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: with all the players hind his whole we had a

368
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: push up challenge. Puss Sally pers down yeah anyway, and

369
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: he won it. But when he went down to start

370
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: doing the push up, it was really funny watching all

371
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: the different players. Rhys Walsh he quit after about thirty seconds.

372
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: The Dylan Brown he lasted about a bit over a minute,

373
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: but winged from the first one to the last. But

374
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: he did pretty good. Tom didn't. As soon as he

375
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: went down. The Cowboys media manager goeste he'll win this.

376
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: He goes, mate, you'll have to stop him, and it

377
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: was he just kept going and going again. He won

378
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: by a mile. And the other thing I like about

379
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 2: him in that same Origin series, it was two urgent

380
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 2: two years ago. Game three is on the line. They

381
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: had a lot of injuries and he was in the

382
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 2: squad but hadn't been in the first two games. Billy

383
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: Slater a couple of days for the game, tapped on

384
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: his door. Tom didn't answers, and he goes, let you

385
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: know that you're in, and they said. Tom didn't just

386
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 2: broke down crying. He was like that emotional and he

387
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: said he said, Billy, I won't let you down, and

388
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: he was fantastic.

389
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: It's just a good blow. Good your half back. I

390
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: think they're going to know who it is.

391
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: Probably it's not a straight up one because I'll got okay, okay,

392
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: I got I got it in my mind. How I

393
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: want my side to play.

394
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: Hang on a second, what's going on here, Spanta.

395
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: There's one halfback who I think is the best player

396
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: in the game, but it's not going to really suit

397
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: the way that I want to get my side to play.

398
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: We're all going to be channeled in a certain direction.

399
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: My half pas is going to be Jerome Hughes.

400
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Wow Wow Wow Rome.

401
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: I I'm looking to pick a spine that can just

402
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: blast through you right, play through the middle, bump and

403
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: weave and pinball and just going to drive your middles crazy.

404
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm going to go Jerome Tough can't be discouraged.

405
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: I think, as far as halves concerns, probably close to

406
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: the best running halfback that I've seen.

407
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: And he is, Yeah, I.

408
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: Met him a few times.

409
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: He was a good fella, Yeah, bloody good fella.

410
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: Ever a menace?

411
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's got He's there's an alter ego in

412
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: him called red Wine Rome that everyone used to call

413
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: it because he'd have he'd had these nights where he'd

414
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: like have a bottle of red and then he just

415
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: turns into like this completely sweaty, sloppy mess, this little

416
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: like the inner Kiwi and hen just comes out just sledging,

417
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: sledging everyone, and he's like dancing and just he just

418
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: turned into completely.

419
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: Funny because I remember once we had the family weekend

420
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: at the Storm and I was when we the next day,

421
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: Trish went to me, Oh, yeah, that's Jerome's pretty sort

422
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: of like uh yeah, bit of a funny guy, like

423
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: you know, quite angry, and then I went, d nah,

424
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 2: And I didn't say it because I was as pissed

425
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: as he was. Right now, you want to pick yourself

426
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: as half back?

427
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: I got, so I get a half back and prop

428
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: here all. I mean, he made my decision a bit easier.

429
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to take Nathan Clearing. Then of course it

430
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: was tossing up between him and good friend Daly Cherry Evans.

431
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: But I just think three premierships in a row. Nathan

432
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: kind of picks himself at this stage. What a great player.

433
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: My first front roller is going to be paying.

434
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: Hass I just just back on Nathan hamstring. Yeah, as

435
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: we're recording this last night, he did a hamstring. Get

436
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: a lot of hamstrings at the moment. Isn't game.

437
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: But that's the way that that's the nature of hamstrings.

438
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: They just they just go.

439
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: I did about six or seven. Yeah, like Tom did

440
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: one and he has done one to This is when

441
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: you do a hamstring, it's just not time on the sideline, coops.

442
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: It's a bit of mental scarring. It lose, Yeah, particularly

443
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: in Tom's case, is going to be. But also for Nathan,

444
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: they at least.

445
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: Done three now in a twelve month period, so I

446
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: don't know if it's the same hamstring all three times.

447
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: I hope it's not, but for Nathan's sake, but I

448
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: think they're definitely going to be cautious with him because,

449
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: like we see how important he is to that side,

450
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: particularly in finals time. And then I take Pain Haash

451
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: as my first front row. Gotcha, now you gotcha?

452
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: Pain? Have you have you? You had much to do

453
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: with Pain? Yeah? Yeah?

454
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: Played against Pain yeah yeah yeah. Good fella, good fellow,

455
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: good player.

456
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: It's just well novocasting Newcastle boy, yeah would yeah yeah, Okay.

457
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: My first front row I'm going to pick is Adam

458
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: Vanilla Blake. I think I think he will retire as

459
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 2: one of the best front rowers of all time. He

460
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 2: is off to Cronulla next year and I think in

461
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: his time there, Crenola will definitely win a competition so

462
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: Adam Vanilla. Blake never met Adam, but I've got huge

463
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: admiration for him as a footballer. Okay, you're on my

464
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: other front rower. I'm going to go James Fisher Harris,

465
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: watch out for the hit Man's man. He's got desire,

466
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: he's got toughness, athleticism, actually leadership. Yeah, fisher Man, I

467
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: love my front rower. Good luck.

468
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you my second front rower. I'm going to

469
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: go to old teammate of mine now Dolphin Jesse Bromich

470
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: a phenomenal career, great leader, just a really great leader.

471
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: He took over as captain after Cameron Smith left him

472
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: and Dale Finukan, and they were really good leaders and

473
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: just had a great ability to get the best out

474
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: of other players. So he's mine, And then what are

475
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: we going to next?

476
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: Let's go thirteen thirteen?

477
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: Okay, thirteen. Then I've picked Cam Murray just you know,

478
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: he's obviously the rabbit Os aren't having their best year,

479
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: but just as a player, what he's done so far

480
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: in his career only at twenty five years of age,

481
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: he's just a really good leader and he's got everything

482
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: in his game.

483
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: He's taken on to Jeezu's taken a lot on. Yeah,

484
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 2: he's taken a lot on for a long time. They've

485
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: got to find a way to alleviate some of the

486
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: pressure off him. He's just at the moment says to

487
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: a little bit too much. But anyway, that's by the bye,

488
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: terrific player. I've gone Ruben Cotter. My temptation was to

489
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: go for Isaiah Yah, but the nature of my team coop.

490
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: As I said before, I want a team that's going

491
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 2: to blast through the middle. It's going to put a

492
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: lot of pressure, and so I'm going to go Ruben Powerhouse, cannonball,

493
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: made toughness, desire, smaller in height, really thick. He's a

494
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: perfect thirteen on a back row and mate against fatigue.

495
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: And the other thing about it is not a liability

496
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: when he's tied in the middle. So once someone in

497
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: the middle who's not going to be a defensive liability

498
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: as a game goes on, right our back.

499
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: Raw, did you get your second pick?

500
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: Okay for my back row, I am going to go.

501
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Liam Martin and I know

502
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to leave one. I Liam Martin again. I

503
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: back him with my life. He'd run through a brick

504
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: wall for his playmakers, and I just I reckon he's

505
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 2: a blow that would just be petrified of letting you down. Yeah, yeah,

506
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: they're They're the guys I like. And yeah, I'm going

507
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: Leah Martin all.

508
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Right with my two back rowers. I'm going to pick

509
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: straight off the bat teammate, Big Damager out on that

510
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: right edge, and then I've got I've picked probably the

511
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: two scariest back rows of all time who have made

512
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: my life a living hell the last five years of

513
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: my career. Villi Army Kickout on the left edge, Hmole

514
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: on the right edge just too really damaging attacking back

515
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: rowers who just strike a lot of fear.

516
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah did when Kickout was running over you

517
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: in Magic Ground? Did he any sledging going on?

518
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Is he? He chirps a bit?

519
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: Does he? Or he didn't have to do?

520
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: I think you felt over me. I think running over

521
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: me a hundred times was probably enough enough sledging for him.

522
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go one from left field, right.

523
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 2: This guy is a bit of an an X factor.

524
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: Talking to an old teammate of mine, Chris Radlinsky, you

525
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 2: had him at Wigan. He described him as a street

526
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: fighter he said, he's just a survivor and he'll do

527
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: whatever he has to do to win. John Bateman, I.

528
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: Thought you were going to say, I'm going to get I'm.

529
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: Going to go, Bateman. If you befriend this bloke, I

530
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: reckon he'd die for you. He's that sort of guy,

531
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 2: as I said, street fighter, whatever it takes, unorthodox and

532
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: I just made I like him smashing bloke too. And

533
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, mate, you got if he if

534
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: he stands opposite Williamy kickout, he'll just back himself. In fact,

535
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 2: I reckon he drive kick out crazy, be a hornet,

536
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: your hooker. My now this I'm just I'm just calculating

537
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: my mind. I've got this is a big decision for

538
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: I'm going to go now. I don't know if you

539
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: know this guy, I'm going to go. Harry Grant, son

540
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: of him, he got got it all and the best

541
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: of him is he's just got character. He's he's captain

542
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 2: now the Melbourne Storm. It's just a matter of time

543
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: to Libby, Captain of Queensland, and my opinion, Captain of Australia,

544
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: you live with him till me just tell me a

545
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: story about Harry.

546
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: Harry Herdini. Yeah, we lived together for ages. He was

547
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 1: It's weird seeing him as a as a leader now, like, well,

548
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: he's always been a leader with his actions. It's weird

549
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: seeing him as a captain of a whole club just

550
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: because he was such an immature little ship when we

551
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: were living there. Hang on you, I mean, we're both

552
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: the immature little ships. We used to play a game

553
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: called spontaneous moon which we used to do so at

554
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: any point around the house if you turned a corner

555
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: and one of us would pull our pants down and

556
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: expose our anuses to each other. But like if you

557
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: if you spotted the if you got mooned spontaneously, like

558
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: there was a punishment for you. So we used to

559
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: always just hide around corners and dak and then like

560
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: we be sitting there with our ass out to each other.

561
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 1: But one day I've got it on film. Wh's pretty funny.

562
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: He was hiding behind a corner, but it was in

563
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: the cupboard of the place, so the microwave reflection from

564
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: the microwave lid just I could see his asshole through

565
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: the mic awave lid, and I was sitting there going

566
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: and he was going, coops, coming here for a sec

567
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: and I was filming it and going, oh, mate, you're

568
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: not you're not, You're not about spontaneous moon me a

569
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, no, no, I just need to

570
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: help from the top shelf. I need to grab some

571
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 1: because he's small. And I come around and filmed it,

572
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: and then I sent it straight to the Jason Roles

573
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: at the coaching start and they said, can you play

574
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: this at the team meeting tomorrow? And on the team

575
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: meetings came out right, guys, Harry's been Harry has been

576
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: doing some weird shit at home. A video Harry dacking

577
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: himself with his arsehole in front of him.

578
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: Oh. Man, that is probably the most infantile thing I've

579
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: ever but I love it.

580
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 1: It was so stupid.

581
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: Okay, let's have let's have it. Let's just recap before

582
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: we go to the bench.

583
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: I've got to do my hookers.

584
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: Oh, you've got to do your hooker. Sorry sorry, sorry.

585
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to go appy coorus of course. Yeah, standard.

586
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: I think he's probably the next best hooker off the

587
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: rank there.

588
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: I reckon he's in top five players in the game.

589
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I think so. How good He's playing for the Tigers.

593
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 2: Joey Marnhu in the senters. It's a good combo Munster

594
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 2: and Cleary. It can be tough side to boot Cam Murray.

595
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,440

00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: The bench can be anyone anyone, okay, yep oh, Wow. Okay,

607
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,920

608
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: you can go for it. Okay, Well, my first one,

609
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to pick someone who covers a little bit

610
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: of just a little bit of everything in my opinion,

611
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: but I'm going to go I actually think he's probably

612
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: the best. He's a starter, but he's the best fourteen

613
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: in the company plays for morons. I'm going to go

614
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: Ben Hunt. I was chatting to someone about this the

615
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: other day. It's something that you Sowells don't have a

616
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: fourteen who is probably equally as good either in the

617
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: halves or as hooker. Like I actually think hooker is

618
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: probably his best position when he plays there. Yeah, it's

619
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: something that is a rare skill to have. I think

620
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: the other only other player I was thinking of was

621
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: the cheese, who is equally good at locke as he

622
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: is at hooker. Yeah, as equally as effective. So I

623
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a really special position to have

624
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: someone like that.

625
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: Okay, my fourteen is Calum Piner Kylen. You can you

626
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: can throw him. You can throw him on at one six,

627
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: you throw him on at thirteen if you wanted to.

628
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: Senta's he's just a natural footballer and he just buzz

629
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: around the field, just driving you guys crazy. Okay, I'll

630
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: go my, I'll go the second bench player and I've

631
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: gone big, Tina, mate size leadership. The bloke just cares.

632
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: He's a story. Two years ago we were at Magic

633
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: Ground and he came on the show. He came on

634
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: and we were getting He was getting a cab to

635
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: the airport right, and we said anyway, we stand there

636
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: and he drove past and goes hee o. Boys jump

637
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 2: in and Mate took us. Though only a little thing

638
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: makes a difference. But before that was one of the

639
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: most standing things I've ever seen from a football that littlone.

640
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: A young footballer. This kid runs up behind him, Nathan

641
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: him Marsh and goes, oh, HEINDI give us an autograph

642
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: and Tina grab the kid, pull him over and say mate,

643
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: say please, and he goes, okay a HEINDI, can you

644
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: give me an autograph? Please? And I thought, Mate, that's

645
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: says lots so yeah teena for me.

646
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: Well, Aunt, Tina, I am going to go. First of all,

647
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: it's tough. I'm going to go. Joe Tarpani, Yep, really

648
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: it might be a little left field for some people,

649
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: but he is in my opinion, he's one of the

650
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: best front rowers as well that I've played against. He's

651
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: so hard to handle and he's just individually brilliant. And

652
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: then my next player I'm going to pick. I'm going

653
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: to go Isaiah Yo. I'm going to go Isaiah Yo

654
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah, play front row, back row and

655
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: lock and just so smart, smart and smartest player in

656
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: the cor Yeah.

657
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's He's Nathan Cleary is super ingredient. Who right?

658
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: HEO My other Okay, I'm going to go it's not

659
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: left field one, but I'm going to go to Jake

660
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: Travoyevich Destroyer. It look purely on this. If the ship

661
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: hits the fan in a game, you just go out.

662
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: You just say, Jake, get out there and help me,

663
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: get out there and turn the game for us. He's

664
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: a perfect example of a bloke that would He's not

665
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: the biggest, he's not the fastest, maybe not even the fittest,

666
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: but mate, he will just do whatever it takes. He will.

667
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: He will bust his ass until he drops till he's

668
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: got nothing left. That's he typifies the player that you

669
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: want if you're playing for your life.

670
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Yep, he's the last one.

671
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my last one. I'm gonna go. I'm going

672
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: to go Patty Carrigan. Yep, so Carrigan. He's proved himself,

673
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 2: he's developed into a great leader, he's athletic, he's a

674
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: man of in my opinion, great character, high character. So yes,

675
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: so it's I've got Kaitlin Tino uh to, Calen Tina,

676
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: who's Jake? And Pat Carrigan?

677
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: What about you? Okay, I've got a bit of coverage.

678
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: I've got Yo and Tarpenay. I think the last one

679
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: I want is maybe do I put another back in there?

680
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: Do I put another back on the bench. I don't know.

681
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I just needed probably another

682
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: forward in there who's a bit mobile. I'm going to

683
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: go someone who has been playing outstanding this year and

684
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: can probably play a bit of everywhere if he has

685
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: to go in the centers. I'm going to go Angus Crichton.

686
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

687
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: I really like Gussie as a player. As a bloke,

688
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: he's bloody a terrific bloke as well, But anybody who's

689
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: played against him before he is not, you know, you

690
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: kick out homole type back rower. But he runs so

691
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: hard and is so terrifying to play against the.

692
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: Three of the thickest, thickest set players I've ever seen,

693
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: Brandon Brandon Smith, hence the term the cheese block of cheese,

694
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: Ruben Cotter, who is even sicker again, but the thickest

695
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: to the lin was Angus. Yeah, Angus when he signed

696
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: on profile, Honestly, it's like a thoroughbred race horse. Yeah

697
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 2: he's that thick. Yeah, that's a good one. So okay, coop,

698
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: who's your coach?

699
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: My coach is none other than Martina Never Never the Over.

700
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: He signed Never Rattle Over, Never Rattle Over aka Craig

701
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: Bellamy just signed on for another year. And he's just

702
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: a just one of the probably, I mean, there's probably

703
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: two coaches you can pick between here, he's one of

704
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: the best.

705
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: Tell me, is he given you a big spray before.

706
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: He's given me a few? Uh, there's this one where

707
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: I took a show at training. He took a dummy,

708
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: took a dummy of training. Yeah, I'll tell you this

709
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: is what I haven't really told. But after that, Pendrith

710
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: came up at sun Court when Villiamkicko ran over me

711
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: one hundred times, I was going to hundred five times.

712
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 2: Sorry.

713
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: I was going into the video session thinking, oh no,

714
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: And anybody who's ever been to a regular video session

715
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: is you get in there early and you kind of

716
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: look at the clips that are coming up, and you

717
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: can see ballly A has like specific terma. He says

718
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: like people's initials, so you can see who the clip

719
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: is going to be in the clip, whether it's good

720
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: or bad. And I seen probably ten clips that just

721
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: said c J WTF, and I was just like obviously

722
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: standing for what the fuck? And I was so worried,

723
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: and I thought, there's just so many clips here that

724
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: he's got his blessed to pick from clips in this thing,

725
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: like he has got so many clips. None of them

726
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: are actually of VILLI Army kick out running over me.

727
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: They're all other stuff I'd done wrong in the game,

728
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: which was actually worse because then I left going, oh

729
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: my god, he didn't even show the worst of the worst.

730
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: He showed all these little things. So that was that

731
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: was probably the one time where balli A just destroyed.

732
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm going I'm going left field. I'm going Sam Burgess

733
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 2: because he's a guy who would have played against a

734
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: lot of played against and with a lot of the

735
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: guys on your side and my side, and I think

736
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: generationally he know how to switch him on and he's

737
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 2: just great leader. He'll end up being Sam will end

738
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: up being one of the great coaches. I love the

739
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: one the other day with Warrington when they played hole

740
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: Hole must have been and Richie Miler, who's the CEO,

741
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: was standing in the tunnel and Sam's walking towards him,

742
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: and Richie Mile, I think, did a bit of a

743
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: power play and just stood there and Seam just walked

744
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: completely through him, just went Bush kept going. So Sam

745
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 2: so okay, So I've got sip. So let's recap the
