WEBVTT - Make or Break for Seibold | Why the Eels Finally Get It | Crunch Round for the Top 8 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:00.760 Boys. 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:02.279 This one came as a little bit of a surprise. 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:04.920 As far as Jack Debellen, he's concerned his career at 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:06.920 Saint George I LLA Warrior is coming to an end 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:10.840 this season. Has signed a deal. Mick, you broke this 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.240 one through at Paramatta, one year deal with an option. 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:16.239 Can you explain that? 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:18.760 Yeah, I really like it. If I'm the Eels. 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.440 Jack de Bellen's been really really good for the Dragons 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:26.480 last year and this year. You know they rarely gets injured, 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.200 plays twenty past games. You know throughout his career is 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.120 the ball playing forward and it really suits the way 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.320 Jason Rowles wants to play. We see the way he 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.440 loves his teams to shift the ball and that's what 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.159 Jack de Bellen can do. Low risk for Paramatta one 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.720 year and an option in their favor for the following year. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.800 So if it does well, if it does well, I'll 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.080 keep him for another twelve months. 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.520 I think it's a goodbye for Parat. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.000 It's not going to move the needle or anything like 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.480 that in terms of their Premiership chances for next year. 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.920 But solid player, trains, hard as ball skills and suits 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:58.200 what Jason Rowles wants to do. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.360 The only question I have. I think it's a goodbye 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.160 as well. The only question I have is they're starting 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.399 to get a lot of similar style of thirteens, or 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.520 at least they have a number of thirteens with you. 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.360 Know, hopgood Joane Hawalker Williams Yep, yep. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:12.680 Your thoughts on a readment. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:14.880 Like you, Dave. 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.720 I mean it's interesting in sort of the Sireldo template 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.360 right where he had a lot of smaller forwards and 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.680 that's obviously worked really well for them. I'm more in look, 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.640 they need to restock their forward pack, there's no doubt, 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.480 but I'm more intrigued about where they're going to go well. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.840 When I say for Hooker's obviously an issue for them. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.920 Looking at Talon di Silver, they've got young Rollismith in 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.720 the system. I'm interested to see where they go there 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.240 and also at six, what they do at six. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.679 I mean that's the other big one for me. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:41.119 At the moment. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.640 So I think they're more pivotal piece of the puzzle 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.000 for the nights. Think for the eels, I think he's 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.640 a good solid signing. It does mix, it doesn't move, 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.880 the needle doesn't get me, does get get my heart 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.320 racing now my blood. No, I'm more intrigued about five 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.000 eight and Hooker. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.840 Yeah, no, unrelated Right, Well, I'm just saying it's not 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.920 like they've blown the budget on Jack de Bellan. As 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.360 you said, there is a talent of silver. Paparali will 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:07.800 probably get the first crack at six. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.560 Don't you think it actually helps their cause at five 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.600 eighths and Hooker on the open market knowing that that 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.920 whoever they're pursuing go, well, they picked up Jack de 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.960 Bellan as well, You don't he's an experience. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.520 Well they look at the paramount for Jack Debellon. No, 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.760 to Jack, he's been a great player for a long time. 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.280 But you do look at a squad and he's a 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.640 very experienced forward. He's been in solid form for Saints, 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.880 and better to have him than not have him. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.120 I say, well, perhaps, but I don't think he's the 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.400 sort of player that, as I said, with your respect 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.040 to Jack, that a Jonah Peazant or a telling the 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:42.919 Silver is going to look. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.400 At it and go got to get there because Jack 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:45.080 de Bellan. 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.480 Said, no, I'm not saying that far, but you need 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.959 you need a quality squad. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.079 He's a good signing he's a good sign good, He's 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.240 a really really good good a paras sign at six. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.480 Well, I think they're in uest in Jonah Peazant just 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.079 talking seen in Smith, I'd signed Jonah Peasant halfpack and 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.120 playing Mitchet six. We see Michigan play six. Does a 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.919 good job there. That's an option, I think, a definite 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.640 option for them. He knows Jonah Peasant well. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:16.840 The front runners to get the silver. 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.000 They are, but Manly's in the mixer and a couple 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.760 of other clubs, the Cows, Newcastle. 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.000 They're all keen, they're all super keen. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.960 Yeah, but they Roy Smith's been really good this year. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.919 Actually yeah, but this is not a slide on Riley Smith. 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:31.480 Let me finish my sentence. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.799 I was about to say that would be a good 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.360 one to punch Riley Smith in talent to silver because 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.360 Riley Smith's been really good this year, so it'd be great. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.520 I think Taling would a great signing for them if 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.000 he turns about how to be the player the people 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:44.760 expect him to be. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.480 It's very early in his career. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.680 I mean there's a lot of wraps on him, yep, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.400 but there's still a long way to go to be 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:51.840 the player. 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.480 People are tipping he will be yeah. 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.520 And they told Riley Smith they're going to sign another hooker. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.280 Roley Smith three signs, so it's not a shock to him. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.880 And you know we see when Riley hasn't been on 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.240 the field, there's a dramatic drop offer. I think that 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.320 position is probably more pivotal than six because when you've 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.480 got someone like Mitch there, you know he's a marquee halfback, right. 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.240 I think Tyland the silver's key for Paramatta and you 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.200 can run with Papali at five eighth. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.719 I think I love what Paramatta doing. I really do. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.120 Big decision last year signing on Jason Roll stuck. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:30.040 To It's one of the smartest moves a club has 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.760 made recently. It was controversial, it was risky, you know, 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.359 moving on clinck Doothson, but it's going to be the 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.920 right move Fellas. 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.200 There was a significant press conference held on Thursday morning 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.800 at it mainly it's Anthony Seabold, mainly head coach. He 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.960 addressed a number of issues in relation to where they're 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.800 out as a footy club. Read Men, you were there, 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.680 runners through the hot topic points of discussion out of 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:54.640 that press conce. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.520 Well, the big ones were Tommy, Tommy's moves with the 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.000 centers and obviously Daily's future, Dahi Cherruan's his future looks see. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.200 So on the Tommy front, this is not a permanent move. 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.480 I think, as we all understand, it will take some 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.640 pressure of Tommy, allowed him to go onto the center's 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.680 free of him of some responsibility and hopefully bring the 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.240 best out of him. And I think we all understood 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.040 that was the case. Steves has confirmed that on Daily. 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.360 He said Daily actually addressed the playing group this week 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.800 because they have this annual campfire chat stuff where a 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.400 couple of players or staff get up and just talk 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.080 about life, their life right this week happened to be 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.000 Daily's week coincidentally, So Danley got up in front of 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.960 the group and he spoke about why hasn't made the 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.840 decision yet? Now SAIDs wouldn't go into it, but he 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.039 said that was one of the areas that he addressed. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.840 The other thing that Davey said, Look, there's obvious been 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.479 some talk around taking the captaincy off him. Never it's 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:53.160 never seves his head, it's not a consideration, won't be happening. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.280 And they were the big issues that he addressed this morning. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.480 Okay, So let's start with Turbo. Do you think this move? 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.200 Still think he has as much influence on the manly 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.839 side as what he does at fullback at center? 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.800 No, he's not going to but but I understand why 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.920 they've done it because I think his form has been down, 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.719 his confidence has been down, and as much as he 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.479 might want to move there, I think it is the 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.480 best thing in the short term for him. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.000 I don't think this will I don't think this will 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:22.760 be a permanent move. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.360 They are a better team when Tommy's in his best 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.640 playing at fullback. If he goes back to the centers. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:32.080 There's a couple of weeks there, rediscovers who he can be, 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:33.240 they'll move him. 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.600 I think they'll move Hi. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.120 Back to fullback, and I think Seed's basically spoke to 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:37.559 that today. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.320 That's what will happen. So I understand why they've done it. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.280 Micky, are you slightly concerned that it's the campfire chat 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.040 the DC? He gets up and addresses the group. Redman 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.240 says it was his turn, and everyone gets a go 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:50.920 on front. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.040 Stevanga was up with him. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.320 Jazz, who's on the way to the UK Super League 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:02.800 next year, DCE one now round seventeen getting up and 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.760 explaining why he hasn't made the call. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.080 I think it's coincidental. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.320 Why now, all right, you Ben understand it's coincidental, but 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.600 it's okay to you can call an agent before an 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.160 emergency meeting. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.800 You're right, You're right, Like he I don't know if 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.800 he has addressed a grip or not saying this. Yeah, 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.760 that he has, it's the first time since his decision, 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.520 then yeah, he probably needed to. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:34.480 But that's not the reason. Mainly playing badly. The DC thing. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:35.440 Would you take the captain? 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.200 It's just going to create more headlines for a club 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.280 that's already evolved in headlines. I just think it's I 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.640 wouldn't And it's not like, with all due respect, if 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.840 you want to give it to Jake or Tom, they're 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.640 not braining it right. 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.200 Well, you've got to give the captains to the best 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.200 player on the field. 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.480 Well, who would you make captain if it's not DC. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.240 I'd make Jake trouble Vich captain. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.160 I just don't think he's. 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.880 Playing enough to scratch either, Like, if you're going to 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.880 take it away from because his form is not great 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:03.960 or he's causing a distraction, I don't think you can 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.400 say Jake or tom has gone all right, we're shunting 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.320 the lights out here. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.440 This is the great problem of Man. Everyone's pointing the 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.840 finger of Daily, and I've been one of them. But 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.320 Tommy and Jake aren't killing it. So your three highest 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.880 paid players, who their aggregate income would be three million 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.760 dollars plus, which is twenty five percent of salary cap, 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.960 They're all not going great or not going as well 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:30.760 as That's the issue of Many. That's the big issue 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.400 at Many, and some of that relates. I think back 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.640 to the Daily decision because I don't think the Drawovitch 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.440 boys were happy about that decision the way it was 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.320 played out, but not all of it. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.600 I don't think all of all the blame falls of Daily. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.920 Do they care more about winning than they do about 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:44.439 that decision? 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.680 Yeah, no, But I think they care about the club. 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.600 I think that decision was devastating. The fallout from it 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:52.120 was devastating. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.480 Absolutely. I think they're denying they would be hurt by 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.320 the impact of all those headlines and. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:03.280 Screw sure right, I can't blame that decision that happened 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.880 months ago on the way merely playing. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.600 I just said it wasn't the whole, the whole reason 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:07.800 I said, it's part of it. 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:12.240 I think it's really quickly, really quickly. How important is 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:13.360 this game against the Web? 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.120 For Anthony, it's funny with our seeds about the pressure 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.880 coming in this week. He said, mate, have you seen 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.000 what's going on in Israel and Iran? That's you're coaching. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.400 But I acknowledge what he's saying. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.120 But it's crucial from Dave because the only way to 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.280 silence all the talk around that club at the moment 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.320 is to win a footy game. Once you win a 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:42.360 footy game, we'll turn our attention to. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.760 Right, you win and the noise goes away. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:45.840 Who are you tipping? 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:47.160 Tip Manly? Yeah? 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:49.840 Tigers? 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:50.440 Oh? 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:52.559 What about that? 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:53.840 Ye? 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:54.679 Wow? 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.079 What about you? 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:56.559 Reckon? 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.760 We think they're a massive chance. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:06.240 They pushed the Raiders badly. God, I think I tip 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:07.560 the Tigers. I'm pretty sure I did. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.079 Will be busy on Saturdays, merely lose. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.120 They they good things. Surely they win because this is 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.079 a massive weekend of footy and we haven't even touched 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.600 on state of origin, on the impact of what these 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:28.440 results could do for not only top eight, top four coaches. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.280 For me, there's a game that I just can't believe 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.800 the Warriors are outsiders in and at against the Brisbane Broncos. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.560 Now I appreciate the Warriors, They've just been a little 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.840 bit clunky of late, but they are outsiders in this game, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.480 and for me, the Broncos aren't the real deal as 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.440 far as I'm concerned. I think they had a good 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.880 second half against Cronulla. They still missed forty odd tackles 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.720 against the Sharks and if Cronulla were good enough, they 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.600 would have put them to the sword in the second half. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.559 They weren't, and I feel as the Warrior is a 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.840 prime for this one and can get the job done. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.680 Where do you like this weekend Mick's Big Game? 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.280 I honestly think it is the most important game of 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.160 the season because every game means something, right, Like, there's 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.400 a thousand different storylines that you can unpack for every game, right. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.760 So for mine, I'm going to go Storm v. Sharks. 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:22.800 The Storm got away. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.160 We won last week against South Sydney and they just haven't. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.760 Been anywhere near the side that we think they can 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:29.000 get to. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.800 And that's probably why everyone believes their Premiership favorites because 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:33.840 out of the top four, I think they've got the 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.560 most growth in them. Right, then you've got the Sharks, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.920 and they're a tough side to get a read on. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.319 Like you know, at times they look really really good 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.400 and the times they look horrific. So you know, you 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.800 write about the honesty session and the things that you know, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.720 the meeting that they had this week, let's see how 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:49.240 they respond. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.240 IM going to go the other I only to go 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.160 to the bottom of the ladder the Titans Cowboys game 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.000 because obviously both these coaches under the men's pressure at 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:02.880 the moment. Dave Mixed exposed the des has a contract 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.800 situation and Toddy Payton will They've been pounded the last 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:06.360 three weeks. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.120 So just remind viewers and listeners about the contracts. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.840 Has only got a guarantee for next year. Well sorry, 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.839 the Titans can part ways with Des Hasard at the 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.240 end of this year. Well, either at the end of 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.000 this year if they miss the eate or immediately once 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.360 they're mathematically out of top eight contention. So that's actually 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.320 not far off being the case that they're mathematically out 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.200 of top eight contention. I mean, my guy, I think 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.040 we all think theirs won't be there next year. I 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.960 think that's the feeling around rugby league and that's the 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.200 feeling in this room. But I just there's just a 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.320 huge game for Toddy Payton as well, because they've looked 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:41.560 so bad the last three weeks. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.920 The Cowboys Boys. What's going on in the rumor mill, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:48.199 there's a tip around George Williams, the English halfback, is 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.720 potentially coming back to the NRL. 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.640 Mick Yeah, been in discussions with the Dolphins. You know, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.280 he's got twelve months left on his Warrington contract and 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.000 this is where it gets tricky. The Wolves have been 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.840 in dialogue with the doll Dolphins and wanted to play first. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:02.480 I think it was curating. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.959 Nick Arema was a player that they identified, but the 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.679 Dolphins are loath to let him go because I see 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.000 him as a perfect fourteen backup half next season. He's 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.120 been outstanding for him creating Nick Arena. But you know, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.679 George Williams is definitely on the Dolphins raider to partner 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.440 Zaya Katawa next year. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:17.880 Interesting. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.719 You know, he had an interesting stint at Canberra a 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.000 few years ago. George Williams first year went to a 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.280 prelium midway through the next year, had fallen out with Ricky. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.480 Stewart and you went down. Yeah, it was the. 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:34.240 Most explosive interview I've probably done with a player in 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.520 terms of their fall out with a coach. Remind us 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.040 again the tone of that interview, Well, it was just 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.880 it was just like there was a lot going on there, right, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.240 because he had COVID as well, right, so he wasn't 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.080 able to go see his family. His family weren't able 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.439 to come, So there's lots of parameters there. And I 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.680 remember Rick ringing Ricky and telling him what was coming, 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.920 and he goes, I'll give you, I'll give you one quote, right, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.600 classic Ricky as it was something along the lines of 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.160 you know, I give my trust to people that deserve 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.839 it or something like that. Right, So there was it 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.000 was both of them had clash and fallen out, right. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.880 But since and George has gone to Warrington. I think 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.199 he would have been if sam Burgess got the Perth job. 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.160 I think he would have been Sam Burgess first signing 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.560 in Perth. Sam Burgess coaches him in Warrington and they 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:24.920 would have gone as a package. You would have been 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.200 able to finish his Warrington contract and get to Perth. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.760 But you know there's also a massive transfer fee on 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.480 his head too if they can't find a player up 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.920 to four hundred thousand dollars. So there's a lot to 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.120 play out still here. But George Williams on the Raider 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:37.960 of the Dolphins for sure. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.520 What I'm find intriguing about this Davi is George is 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.840 correct me if I'm wrong here, My memory of him 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.720 is dominant. Half right, They're going to Katawa, like you 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.920 don't want to take the control away from Katari? Is 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.560 going that good? So it's an intriguing combination. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:58.040 They've been obsessed the Dolphins with an experience half right, right, DC. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.440 They wanted you know odd but they were around Lewis. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.440 They were going to yeah the other side for this year, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:06.040 locky girl. 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.840 You know, look braidon Trindle. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.120 So that you know they've had this thing of partner 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:16.040 in Qatar and there's no way they want to catail 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.160 the development of Qatar. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:17.440 Right. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.240 They think he's a freak, so they think they want 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.120 to find to find someone to compliment them, which I 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.720 surprised that Cody the greem is probably they don't persist 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.560 with him. He's been good for him, right, but you 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.320 know he's a perfect fourteen too. He's not going to 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.200 be lost to that side, so it'd be interesting. He's 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.560 an English captain, so George. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:36.480 He's not a good player. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.560 I'm just saying Kato's development is just, you know, exponentially. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:41.560 You don't want to style me that. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.560 Yeah, another half back in the mix. As far as 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.640 the Raiders are concerned, Boys. 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:48.040 Ja Clifford. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.240 Look, he's been on the obviously told the while ago 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.920 that he wouldn't be resigned by the Cowboys next year. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.440 The Raiders are looking at him. I'm not sure how 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:56.440 far progressed it is. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.320 In the first grade this week, right. 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.120 Yeah, yeah, he is, that's right, Yeah. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.680 Now, I remembering the Cowboys started pretty well with him. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.960 Yeah, they did hit a rocky spot. They move Jackson 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:06.800 per to six. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.480 Clifford was out of the team, but they've struggled since 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.760 they made that change, that change of Purdue's back in 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:12.280 the centers. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:12.720 This week. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.000 Canberra looking obviously some depth in the half now. I've 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:17.840 lost Jamal Fogg at the end of the year. I 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.360 think he'd be handy signing for the one. He's good player, Shane, 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.120 he could play first grade and if he's your third 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.320 half because they've got young Ethan Sanders in the system. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.040 Where's your back up half? He's a handy backup. 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.760 Yeah, I think he's a good pick up. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.560 I think he'd be a good pickup for Canbra for 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.920 what they need with the two young Ethans there and 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.920 the ability to guide them a little bit goalkicker, you know. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.040 You know he's played lots of footy and as a 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.040 potential guy that could start in round one or provide 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.520 good backup, I think he's a handy addition. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.400 Hey, boys, really quickly. Jackson Hastings gets his opportunity with 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.760 the Newcastle Knights this weekend. It's his second NRL start. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.040 I actually really liked what he did in his first 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:03.720 in of the season against the Roosters a couple of 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.920 weeks ago. I thought he brought a fair bit of 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.280 energy and influence on the way the Knights played in 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.400 that game. This is a big game for him too, 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.320 because he hasn't got a club next year and it's 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.320 an opportunity to show that potentially he's not finished with 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:19.720 yet try and keep. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:20.480 His spot as well. 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.040 Obviously, no, in the case that Fletcher Sharp, he may 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.560 not play again this year. Yeah right, so you know 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.240 he's in a world of obviously, and Tyson Gamble hasn't 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.200 played a lot of football this year. Played reserve grade 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.199 last week, but he's missed a lot through injuries. So 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.560 he'll play reserve grade again and we'll be putting pressure 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.840 on Jackson Hasten's if things don't go well. It's interesting 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.520 that you say that I was doing ABC that that weekend. 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.280 Luklewis gave him two points in now three to two months. Yeah, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.760 he just what he does. He doesn't have to speed 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.119
