Speaker 4: like one of my stories but criticized.
Speaker 3: I think it's massive, so we'll we'll get to a
Speaker 3: little bit later.
Speaker 2: It's a cracking It was a cracking Round two on
Speaker 2: Fox League with upsets galore and a perennial cellar dweller
Speaker 2: finally showing signs of life. These are the moments of
Speaker 2: the round, brought to you by Forward.
Speaker 5: Egan Bick Midcom.

Speaker 5: Papa Lee, it's closed.
Speaker 6: Just Papa Lee has scored the try us.
Speaker 7: For running backwards.
Speaker 3: They're straightening all.
Speaker 7: Laid off to the car. He's over the.
Speaker 5: Car. He's got to the line line. Calvin, promise puller
Speaker 5: with a support. Let's turn to Ruba.
Speaker 3: Tiger's adair. I'm la la.

Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: I can't sup than spectacular.
Speaker 5: The Tiger's are out of.
Speaker 4: The dead.
Speaker 1: Of the leg.
Speaker 5: That is a brilliant quest Tiger's clock.
Speaker 2: What an amazing weekend of regular you're right here on
Speaker 2: Fox League. A few upsets, some that none of us
Speaker 2: could have picked, and of course the paramount of ills
Speaker 2: zero from to Gordy after just two games. But that
Speaker 2: lost yesterday against the West Tigers was ordinary. West Tigers
Speaker 2: were fantastic all the same. But Jason Ryles already under pressure.
Speaker 2: Would you like to be in issues today?
Speaker 8: I think he's learning how to coach, sitting at a
Speaker 8: couple of power clubs that he did be in assistance,
Speaker 8: you know, with great players. I think the way Paramatta
Speaker 8: have cleaned out their ranks, they've got a really young
Speaker 8: side and watching them, yes, they record the game on
Speaker 8: triple and I didn't know the answers, and I said
Speaker 8: through the call, this is the reason why I don't coach,
Speaker 8: because the way Paramatta were playing an attack and defense.
Speaker 8: They're just young, they're inexperience. But you know, Jason Rowlsey's
Speaker 8: been there to do a job, and when Mitchell Moses
Speaker 8: comes back, there's no doubt that they will be a
Speaker 8: better side.
Speaker 1: By the poor kids, they didn't have too many answers yesterday.
Speaker 4: They've conceded more than eighty points in the first two games.
Speaker 4: Some were you can understand to touch up against.
Speaker 1: Melbourbourne in Melbourne.
Speaker 4: That performance yesterday I thought against the West Tiger's team
Speaker 4: was really, really poor. I think they were completely leaderless
Speaker 4: football club. While Mitchell Moses on the field, they let
Speaker 4: Guphuson go last year, they let their club end of
Speaker 4: the year reading Campbell Gillard go as I said, Moses, isn't.
Speaker 7: There there was no one you go through that program
Speaker 7: in that you say.
Speaker 3: They shouldn't have like o of rcg Gutho. What do
Speaker 3: you mean by that?
Speaker 9: Junior Paul as a former captain of that footy club.
Speaker 9: I know he is, but you can't say Junior Paul
Speaker 9: is not a leader. He's led his country. I remember
Speaker 9: the World Cup a company with maybe.
Speaker 6: I think the leader.
Speaker 7: I watched that game yesterday. I thought they were leaderless.
Speaker 4: And when they're in trouble against a side like the
Speaker 4: West Tigers, I think a great leader would have rallied
Speaker 4: the troops a little bit.
Speaker 7: Better than what was going on out there.
Speaker 3: Where are we just look to is?
Speaker 9: I think they will ruddle us rather than I think
Speaker 9: they had to take control of the footy team.
Speaker 8: Junior they had a guy that's just been offered thirteen
Speaker 8: million dollars that's going to run aside.
Speaker 6: That was there and we couldn't do it. He couldn't
Speaker 6: do it yesterday.
Speaker 4: But as Rayles said, Boltman's running the football side. He's
Speaker 4: got the number seven on the jersey.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, I think Look, I think young kids
Speaker 8: bring bring you enthusiasm when you play. The old guys
Speaker 8: have got to bring your stability and the leadership and
Speaker 8: they give you a bit of calmness on the field.
Speaker 8: But the old blokes didn't, right and if they keep
Speaker 8: on waiting for Mitchell Moses, he's been injured the last
Speaker 8: couple of years, but.
Speaker 1: Someone needs to step up and and for me it
Speaker 1: was Dylan. It was Dylan brand.
Speaker 8: The fans booting, I thought that might have sparked him
Speaker 8: to get the ball and go, well, I'll show you
Speaker 8: that I'm going to be wearing a blue and gold
Speaker 8: for the next you know, twenty games and leave with I.
Speaker 9: Don't think what numbers on his back. He's the senior
Speaker 9: half out of those two guys, I mean.
Speaker 3: Ronald, But he didn't.
Speaker 6: And that's my point.
Speaker 3: Why you know that you can't.
Speaker 6: Say that's Jason Rowles's fault.
Speaker 3: Well that's not I don't know.
Speaker 4: How hes structured the side and maybe he said seven,
Speaker 4: you're running the footage side.
Speaker 6: Well, then must be somewhere working for the fact.
Speaker 4: That outside his first couple of runs he did nothing.
Speaker 4: He did nothing that way that.
Speaker 2: Jason Roles would have gave the game plan and direction
Speaker 2: of Voltman, he would have gave it to Brown.
Speaker 3: So Brown's just hasn't.
Speaker 7: Why doesn't he pick him in the seven jersey?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 7: Bro when they're in this.
Speaker 3: You know, like it's we are going to put six?
Speaker 3: I don't know, yeah, exactly. So he's got his hands full.
Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, not only has he taken
Speaker 2: on a new team with Guffo Allegal that's moved on
Speaker 2: Moses out in his other key playmaker now is just
Speaker 2: signed with Newcastle and walk down on the club. He's
Speaker 2: trying to probably change a few systems in there defensively
Speaker 2: and both with attack. And he's got players out of position.
Speaker 2: You know, he's got a young Volkman who's come in.
Speaker 2: He's not quite ready yet. The pack didn't. They were
Speaker 2: awful yesterday like that first twenty five minutes of that
Speaker 2: game is possibly the worst game I've ever watched.
Speaker 3: That's been brutally honest from now.
Speaker 2: Both sides were poul the first twenty five, but they
Speaker 2: didn't get any better as it went on. I think
Speaker 2: the only time they scored was the last two minutes
Speaker 2: of the game when they had twelve men on. They're
Speaker 2: playing as twelve men and systems. You're talking about an
Speaker 2: attackle Well, you know I'm talking about both, right. So
Speaker 2: Rosey's renowned for his defense any Melbourne. He did a
Speaker 2: great job with them and totally different roster and team.
Speaker 2: But though he showed how effective he can be as
Speaker 2: a coach in Melbourne with that, But when he's obviously
Speaker 2: come in and he's trying to implement that same probably
Speaker 2: system and process to club a young team with players
Speaker 2: that aren't really up to it at the moment, I
Speaker 2: feel like I feel sorry for Roles. I do because
Speaker 2: where to But like you look at the side, there's
Speaker 2: not like there's a heap of players that come back Mitchell.
Speaker 2: Mitchell will come back, and we've seen in the past
Speaker 2: he makes.
Speaker 3: A huge difference, like a huge difference.
Speaker 2: Do we think Mitch just comes back into this team
Speaker 2: and makes him a ten to twenty point better side
Speaker 2: both in attack and defense or not.
Speaker 4: Well, they'll get a better field position all that. But
Speaker 4: the way they're forwards played yesterday, they're not going to
Speaker 4: beat anyone. Seriously, they're going worse to Sir George, They're
Speaker 4: going as bad as the Cowboys. And look, I don't know, Mitchell.
Speaker 3: Probably get worse out of any team right now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'd be fair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, them and the Cowboys, Them and the Cowboys. But
Speaker 4: even makes you know, as he picked him in the
Speaker 4: right position, happens when he comes.
Speaker 8: Well, he got back and played on the wing. When
Speaker 8: he defended a wing, he defended wing, but like he
Speaker 8: attacked in the center. So he was switching both times.
Speaker 6: And I think one of their better players.
Speaker 1: They caught him the.
Speaker 6: No, he hasn't.
Speaker 3: He's been the wrning go.
Speaker 2: Back to you all are stronger of this strong opinion
Speaker 2: that they should have kept him. But you disagree, Rudy,
Speaker 2: that he wanted.
Speaker 9: He got a three year deal Dragons on big money
Speaker 9: and I don't think, but he was under contract to Paramatta.
Speaker 7: They did not.
Speaker 6: They didn't let him.
Speaker 9: They didn't have to, but they did the right thing
Speaker 9: by him, Buss because they weren't going to give it,
Speaker 9: let me finish. They weren't going to give him a
Speaker 9: three year deal, so they did the right thing about it.
Speaker 9: Talking about's gone, so well, why are the Dragons going
Speaker 9: two buzz Gerson was their best player there?
Speaker 6: Okay, there's still too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're going a lot better than paramatter that Paramatta
Speaker 4: football department is stuffed up for many, many years.
Speaker 7: Right, were these stupid clauses.
Speaker 6: That think about the clause?
Speaker 4: No, no, I'm giving you some examples about how many
Speaker 4: mistakes they made. They could have stood firm and said
Speaker 4: to Gutherson, you're playing out your contract here.
Speaker 6: No, they let him go.
Speaker 3: Then the year get.
Speaker 6: The right thing by the blake and they're going to
Speaker 6: bag them.
Speaker 4: So they're being nice. You can't be nice and just
Speaker 4: set people up. You've got to win football games.
Speaker 6: Well, they probably thought.
Speaker 9: They would win footy games, as they didn't anticipately looked
Speaker 9: that they brought a young fallback in as well.
Speaker 1: You know younger.
Speaker 6: He's been one of their better players in the first
Speaker 6: two weeks.
Speaker 4: Keep saying that one of the better players. How many
Speaker 4: good players they I mean, you can't imagine by eighty.
Speaker 9: Off season working with Mitch Moses as their half back.
Speaker 9: They built everything around him. They brought in Dean Hawkins
Speaker 9: to back him up, the deputies for him. They've lost
Speaker 9: both those blokes in the preseason.
Speaker 7: What you're saying is every club with one year to
Speaker 7: go in the contract to just let them go.
Speaker 3: You are.
Speaker 1: Because he won three years and then they kept on
Speaker 1: losing all their young a long.
Speaker 7: Track to the club.
Speaker 4: He was under cont They went in no position to
Speaker 4: allow him to lead. He was the heart and soul
Speaker 4: of that rugby league team. He was to paramounter what
Speaker 4: Nathan Clary is to Penrith in a different Mitchell.
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm not comparing them.
Speaker 4: I'm not comparing them as players, and I'm comparing them
Speaker 4: to what they mean to them.
Speaker 6: If he plays when one of them. We're both saying that.
Speaker 4: Your Braith is asking us to please explain eighty points
Speaker 4: nearly eighty missed tackles in two weeks and you know, well,
Speaker 4: we've got a kid out the back, and you know
Speaker 4: how important fallbacks are in defense and keeping things organized,
Speaker 4: particularly in young football side.
Speaker 2: Well, I want to give some paramount of fans some
Speaker 2: sort of hope or optimism. So I looked at Cameron
Speaker 2: Serudo's coaching record when he went to the Bulldogs.
Speaker 3: Because I was.
Speaker 2: Thinking today, I was thinking we were talking about Cameron
Speaker 2: like we were Jason that first year at the Dogs.
Speaker 3: Is he the right man?
Speaker 2: Does he have the capabilities because he had such a
Speaker 2: big wrap on him as Jason does in the first
Speaker 2: season usually suit the Dogs the only one seven game
Speaker 2: as they came fifteenth, and just some hope here with time,
Speaker 2: you can see here the Serroudo is really taking the
Speaker 2: Bulldogs to another level. Of course, they've bought players in
Speaker 2: a period, they've had guts, you know in the background.
Speaker 3: This is where paramatter have got to be strong.
Speaker 2: This is a total rebuild right now, and I didn't
Speaker 2: think it was as big a job as what we've
Speaker 2: seen these first two rounds. But I think we've got
Speaker 2: to give Rosy some time here. You know, he he's
Speaker 2: starting from the bottom.
Speaker 1: He didn't sign all those guys with this course.
Speaker 4: While I mentioned the Earls fourty department their recruitment or
Speaker 4: that is exactly what you said, Cannoby got Phil Gold
Speaker 4: and Phil Gold and Cameron in particular deserves a lot
Speaker 4: of credit here. He was a massive attraction for all
Speaker 4: the boys. He coach coming through at Penrith. Paramatta do
Speaker 4: not have that magnet. They might have it in Mitchell
Speaker 4: Moses with Lachlan Galvin. They're managed by the same people
Speaker 4: and Mitchell will do everything he possibly.
Speaker 7: Can and with his band to get him to power.
Speaker 7: They need more than Lachlan.
Speaker 2: Down process and trying to get that respect now and
Speaker 2: that show players that they are the real deal and
Speaker 2: Neat they are on the improved, which at the moment
Speaker 2: is going to be a hard seale.
Speaker 9: Roles will get time. He's got a four year deal.
Speaker 9: Patients were two games into a four.
Speaker 7: Year deal suggesting we sack him.
Speaker 1: Mate.
Speaker 9: No one, okay, brought up the Sorello. You were into
Speaker 9: Sorelo back then two years ago.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 6: Stop, look how that worked.
Speaker 4: But what I will say is I write a piece
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year that thirty coaches have
Speaker 4: been sacked in ten years.
Speaker 3: Right, that's three year No.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: Well, what I'm saying is so CEO is just still there,
Speaker 4: the chairman are still there, and these guys are always
Speaker 4: the four guys.
Speaker 3: And I actually said.
Speaker 4: I'm going to make try harder this year not to
Speaker 4: do the coach pylon because I recommend.
Speaker 7: Have you on them.
Speaker 3: You're feel a bit bad, but you feeling guilty. Guilty,
Speaker 3: I'm not feeling I'm not feeling yourself right now? Are
Speaker 3: you talking to us?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 3: I can't move on.
Speaker 2: I can't move on without asking this bus now. The
Speaker 2: big question to come out of the weekend is Dylan
Speaker 2: Brown our Newcastle at all regretting their decision to pay
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars for him over a ten year period.
Speaker 4: I interviewed p Dio Sullivan the equipments. I spoke about
Speaker 4: this show. You know his background. He has absolutely no
Speaker 4: concerns whatsoever, which surprises me. Having watched that game yesterday,
Speaker 4: I would be concerned. We're going through a position we're
Speaker 4: reading where we're valuing every player in the conference. We're
Speaker 4: working on it, and when we get to Dylan Brown
Speaker 4: his true value was in an RL player, it will
Speaker 4: be nothing anywhere near one point this.
Speaker 8: So I read your article on the weekend. If he
Speaker 8: owned the club, Peter O. Sullivan, and it was his money,
Speaker 8: would he have paid that?
Speaker 7: I will answer that this way.
Speaker 4: Phil Gardner and Peter Parr one of the best recruitment
Speaker 4: break in rugby league. So that was talking about they
Speaker 4: talk about of the Dolphins and they said animal Brian
Speaker 4: isn't in charge of recruitment, Peter pars this is your job.
Speaker 3: You've got the check book.
Speaker 7: You build a roster to win a comp.
Speaker 3: That's what he's doing.
Speaker 8: So if you're going to build a roster to win
Speaker 8: a comp, don't you buy people that have won a comp.
Speaker 4: Look with his track record, I'm not prepared to be
Speaker 4: critical of him, but personally I wouldn't have paid that money.
Speaker 3: Let's move on to the Tigers.
Speaker 2: Really are they preparing an upgrade extension for lock and Down?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I think it's imminent birth. I'd imagine coming
Speaker 9: next month or two, they'll make a move on Lochlan Galvin.
Speaker 6: And you know they have to make a.
Speaker 9: Move in because he's one of those guys to be
Speaker 9: available and November one would November one to talk to
Speaker 9: other clubs and there's stuck in clubs line in Locklan
Speaker 9: going up.
Speaker 6: So I think they're going to hit him with a
Speaker 6: real big offer.
Speaker 3: What are you thinking?
Speaker 9: I'm thinking I think it'd be a million dollar player
Speaker 9: at some point in that contract office. So if you're
Speaker 9: not straight away a long term i'd imaginable.
Speaker 1: Fifteen years, not fifteen.
Speaker 6: To ten. But I think it'll be a significant offer
Speaker 6: over a long period of time.
Speaker 8: So the way they played yesterday in the second half, yeah,
Speaker 8: I think that. I think that helps the Tigers.
Speaker 9: If he turns it off and down, you know he's
Speaker 9: going to market because it's going to be a big offer.
Speaker 2: Starting to see their spine als together for the first time,
Speaker 2: Chorus our.
Speaker 4: Twenty five minutes, It's terrible, page beautiful for they was
Speaker 4: the first time they and they linked twice and they
Speaker 4: scored twice.
Speaker 9: Threeen Bullers hell of the football and he made such
Speaker 9: a difference yesterday.
Speaker 6: We talked about the blokes in that spine, but he
Speaker 6: was the one to turn the game.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a great mix because they've got the inexperience
Speaker 2: but the X factor of Buller and government coming through
Speaker 2: on the rise only going to get better. And then
Speaker 2: you've got Chorus our Lui Premiership in his one two
Speaker 2: comps together. All that's okay, dce buzz. You've got some
Speaker 2: information on him in his contract. Is he going to
Speaker 2: re sign with Manly or could he find himself going
Speaker 2: somewhere else.
Speaker 4: He's thirty six years of age and I think he
Speaker 4: is in an almost identical position to Adam Reynolds at
Speaker 4: the South Sidney rabbit Os three years ago, except he's
Speaker 4: older than Adam Reynolds and he wants a two year deal,
Speaker 4: and he wants decent money, and despite his age, he's
Speaker 4: only miss twenty games fifteen years and a lot of
Speaker 4: those very durable, very very durable.
Speaker 3: Seven. Yeah, so he wants a to deal when he's
Speaker 3: thirty seven, so he'll play.
Speaker 7: He wants a two year deal from Yeah.
Speaker 8: Is there any romance of him being Cherry and Evans?
Speaker 8: They were great Redcliff plays. Is there any chance of
Speaker 8: he going back to the Dolphins and finished where it
Speaker 8: all started?
Speaker 4: I spoke to Terry Rueder, the CEO, last week, and
Speaker 4: put it to him. You said he came from Redcliffe.
Speaker 4: Was there any interest? And he said, we are watching
Speaker 4: the Manly negotiations closely to see what happens. You know,
Speaker 4: they don't want to go yet till they they're told,
Speaker 4: you know, make an offer now. As I said, d C,
Speaker 4: I think Manly offered him one year and I think
Speaker 4: they're bringing him back to about five fifty six hundred
Speaker 4: K when he's been a million dollar player players at
Speaker 4: his age like Paul Gallant Pernala and like Ben Harnt
Speaker 4: when he went to the Broncos have to take a
Speaker 4: pretty serious haircut.
Speaker 3: But is my understanding that he wants it to you
Speaker 3: not a one? Yeah, okay, what do you think of
Speaker 3: the to you?
Speaker 1: Ready?
Speaker 9: I think at thirty seven and as durable as Daly
Speaker 9: as thirty six, it's first year of the new contract.
Speaker 9: He thirty seven in February next year. If I'm mainly
Speaker 9: I'm probably probably only offering in one year as well,
Speaker 9: maybe with an option cause built in.
Speaker 6: I mean, look, he owns.
Speaker 7: Half hour options for reading.
Speaker 1: League.
Speaker 8: Now with the ice bass and sports scientists, we watched
Speaker 8: Cameron Smith play in the middle.
Speaker 6: Well he has been. He wins all the fitness tests
Speaker 6: and manly he has his whole career.
Speaker 8: He doesn't he doesn't miss football game playing.
Speaker 4: You know, if he plays, if he plays another two years,
Speaker 4: he'll past four hundred games outside of Redcliffe. There's a
Speaker 4: little bit of a whisper round. It's only a whisper
Speaker 4: that Sir Georgia Lauara might have some interest in it.
Speaker 4: It's been well publicized their half situation. At the moment
Speaker 4: it's only round two, but it's not going gang busters
Speaker 4: playing again coached Daly Jerry Evans at Manly. I think
Speaker 4: there might be a little bit of interest. And when
Speaker 4: you're desperate, good clubs don't have to offer him two years.
Speaker 4: But when you're desperate to have direction in your forty side,
Speaker 4: you've got to take a risk.
Speaker 6: But it's daily at the age of thirty seven.
Speaker 9: I want to go to the Dragons, to a club
Speaker 9: that's in a rebuild when he can start Manly, contend
Speaker 9: for a premier ship and yeah, look it's one year.
Speaker 9: If you play well, you'll get another year out of
Speaker 9: man Imagine.
Speaker 3: I would hope he doesn't go. I don't think he
Speaker 3: would go to the Dragons.
Speaker 2: Like if I just look at it from if you're him,
Speaker 2: You've played your whole career Manly, you live in Manly,
Speaker 2: and just over one year you're going to up and
Speaker 2: leave to go to the Dragons.
Speaker 3: I couldn't really see that unless he was about the
Speaker 3: Queens nd Queen's going on. I'm just saying it would
Speaker 3: be interesting. It's going to be interested.
Speaker 4: I think his family very happily settled on the Northern
Speaker 4: Beaches and the rest of their lives, but Redcliffe is
Speaker 4: a you know a time.
Speaker 3: Even the Titans with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know what when DC got married, was
Speaker 4: one of the first on the guest list have.
Speaker 9: The forgiving him for all those years ago. Wouldn't that
Speaker 9: be a story if he went back there and finishes.
Speaker 1: There's been enough water, especially the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 7: You're a man, You're.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 8: I was dirty for a while because I get the
Speaker 8: Titans and it was it was going to be a
Speaker 8: huge signing for us, a massive signing.
Speaker 6: Now, why would you want to go?
Speaker 2: They're just leveraging the other clubs at the moment. They're
Speaker 2: trying to hear what they wanted to me only anyway,
Speaker 2: Buzz and Coops, it's happened again. What's happened? What's going
Speaker 2: on with you too? I don't like this because I
Speaker 2: love you both. You know it's hard for me.
Speaker 4: Three years ago, I was sitting there and Cooper was
Speaker 4: here and we got stuck into each other over his
Speaker 4: two coaching jobs over the weekend. And I want to
Speaker 4: start by saying I have the greatest respect for Cooper.
Speaker 4: Kronk is a rugby league analyst. I think he's the
Speaker 4: best in the business, brilliant for the IQ, but they
Speaker 4: held my story up with Bonnie Sampson on Saturday League
Speaker 4: after the Yeah Super Saturday about Ponger and Stacey Jones
Speaker 4: wanted to pick him from New Zealand was going to
Speaker 4: bring in. Cooper comes out and says the story is
Speaker 4: factually incorrect, and it upset me because I made a
Speaker 4: lot of phone calls. I ran Greg Peters they see
Speaker 4: in New Zealand. I rang Stacy Jones, Andre Ponger, and
Speaker 4: I even rang Troy Grant, who's the head of the
Speaker 4: International Rugby League Board, who told me he'd only played nine. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he only played nine. We're looking at favorable if he
Speaker 4: wanted to change T one nations. It was a legitimate
Speaker 4: story which I put a lot of time, and it
Speaker 4: was disappointing.
Speaker 3: But look, we didn't know you've written the article.
Speaker 1: Do you know.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure, well you know they called it up,
Speaker 4: but they had Saints sing as sure Spider, maybe he
Speaker 4: hasn't a lot of people mightn't. Do you know, you're
Speaker 4: just looking for yourself.
Speaker 2: Because yeah, he probably doesn't read. You can't because he's
Speaker 2: the Venteral agency. I don't know, but I don't think
Speaker 2: it was a person thing. But yeah, you know, I'll
Speaker 2: back you because I usually think he's a big chance
Speaker 2: of happened. So I wasn't shocked when I saw your article.
Speaker 2: And during the week myself and good mate Rennie Mateul
Speaker 2: were talking about it. You know, he's reluctant to play
Speaker 2: for Australia at the end of last year when he
Speaker 2: wasn't injured and how he pulled out didn't speak to Malo.
Speaker 2: We spoke about on this show. It was very unusual
Speaker 2: and if you want to play for your country, you
Speaker 2: want to play for your country. So there is there
Speaker 2: has been hesitation for him to put that Ezzy Jersey on.
Speaker 2: You can't help but think and you hear the rumors
Speaker 2: about he wanted to play for New zeal And, the
Speaker 2: All Blacks, all of that.
Speaker 7: Right, you saw what he wanted for that marriage Jersey.
Speaker 6: I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I think it's a big chance of happening. I really do,
Speaker 2: you know, regardless of the feud.
Speaker 9: Reach out to him today, text him this afternoon, Kevin
Speaker 9: on the way and here actually and look, he just
Speaker 9: doesn't want to buy into the discussion, I.
Speaker 6: Think, Kaylin.
Speaker 9: So he didn't deny it, We didn't deny it, but
Speaker 9: he didn't. He didn't confirm it either. He just said, look,
Speaker 9: I don't want to discuss it. I want to talk
Speaker 9: about it.
Speaker 3: He doesn't need to.
Speaker 9: It's an issue for me and I think he's I
Speaker 9: think Car at the moment is so hell bent on
Speaker 9: winning a premiership.
Speaker 6: I think that's all he's worried about.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 6: Last week was he people.
Speaker 7: Said he was unhappy up there about Dylan Brown's.
Speaker 6: Didn't hear that one?
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever, Ie, we want to know and I want
Speaker 2: to know and keeps that to where this is stem
Speaker 2: from is can he actually do it?
Speaker 3: Can he actually do it?
Speaker 1: He'd have to get permission of International Rugby League.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it involves a few things and because of
Speaker 4: these ridiculous, outdated state of origin elegibility rules, he wouldn't
Speaker 4: be able to play.
Speaker 7: State of origin and have to apply to the i
Speaker 7: r L.
Speaker 4: He would look at it favorably, Troy Grant said, because
Speaker 4: he only played in the night so yes, it definitely
Speaker 4: can happen.
Speaker 3: It can happen.
Speaker 2: He needs to pull out of origin that yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and there's a certain amount of it has.
Speaker 7: To be changed. Okay, that rule needs to be changed.
Speaker 4: We can't have Jerome blue white Stephen Crichton and Male
Speaker 4: Olakuado playing for New South Wales and then going off
Speaker 4: to play for Samoa and Tonga who are now as
Speaker 4: strong as New Zealand.
Speaker 7: Yet we won't let this guy who grew up in
Speaker 7: New Zealand play Origin.
Speaker 1: And play for New Zealand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he played all his journey forty here in Australia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, gord I used to be
Speaker 1: black and white on it.
Speaker 8: But you know, with the amount of Pacifica boys now
Speaker 8: playing and growing up like Petro Sivnaceiva, like I think
Speaker 8: he was in Queensland when he was three. He played
Speaker 8: all of his football at Redcliffe Tony Carroll, I played
Speaker 8: Brad Thorne's another one right, but they spent a lot
Speaker 8: of their time. They were passionate to play for Queensland.
Speaker 8: I don't like when they pick and choose and they
Speaker 8: think I'm going to play for Queensland for the money,
Speaker 8: but I'm going to go play for that. I always
Speaker 8: believe that Queensland and New South Wales that's a selection
Speaker 8: trial to play for your country, which is Australia.
Speaker 4: In the old days, Origin was a selection trial and
Speaker 4: they'd pick a Test side afterwards and we'd have a
Speaker 4: midyear test.
Speaker 7: So long with a selection trial. It's it's, it's But.
Speaker 1: I'd rather lose state of origin with Queenslanders.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd be worried about floodgates. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 3: Who was born and he's a queen, keep on choosing us.
Speaker 3: Same with Victor Radley.
Speaker 4: Victor Radley was born Bred Eastern, played Clevely Crocodiles.
Speaker 7: There was only one who.
Speaker 6: If Victor knew the choice he was making, and should we.
Speaker 4: Be applauding him for helping a struggling companies, we should
Speaker 4: in honoring his father's heritage.
Speaker 6: But then we don't just throw the floodgates open.
Speaker 4: Just I'm not suggesting we pick every English player, but
Speaker 4: someone who was born Bred Eastern Suburbs play all his
Speaker 4: junior forty there should play for New South Wales.
Speaker 7: The same as Low, the same as Crichton.
Speaker 3: Definitely New South Wales.
Speaker 4: I agree well for Australia, but these Polynesian boys honoring
Speaker 4: their grandparents.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to play for Scotland. You don't
Speaker 1: want to play for Scotland.
Speaker 6: That's my par I.
Speaker 8: Wanted to play for Queensland. And Australia. The year made
Speaker 8: the Country I live in Country.
