We talked up 43 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 8: the Raiders last night, Gordy, but for the PM they 44 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 8: need to win if they want to finish top four. 45 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah that opener again. 46 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 9: But you look the Panthers like obviously they'll go along 47 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 9: great the hiccup last week. But there's still a chance 48 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 9: of finishing in the top four, and I think that 49 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 9: they need to because there's a chance of getting a 50 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 9: week off of the pan. There's anything that might derail 51 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 9: them is tiredness towards the end, biggest. 52 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 10: Night of the season in more ways than one. Not 53 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 10: only the best collection of teams really in a four 54 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 10: hour period, but you've got Melbourne can lock up second, 55 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 10: that's huge. If they lock up second this week, they're 56 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 10: probably going to finish there anyway. 57 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 6: Now they can start the plan. Do they stagger their rest? 58 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 6: Do they do it all in one go? 59 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 10: If Canberra wins, same thing Penrith, if they lose, they actually. 60 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 6: Top four is pretty much out of the picture. 61 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 10: How do they then play it? Do they stay in 62 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 10: the top four? Picture? Dogs test a credibility? There's so 63 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 10: much on the line. The bigger games are still to come, 64 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 10: but there's so much. 65 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 11: On the line to answer a lot of questions and 66 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 11: cast a lot of doubts over some sides as well. 67 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 11: There's no doubt about that come the end of Friday night. 68 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 11: So what around and what a way to open them 69 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 11: on the round? 70 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: You can't wait? 71 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 8: Ian clearly has admitted the Panthers are prepared to take 72 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 8: on the finals from outside the top four. 73 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: Take a look. 74 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 5: We obviously like a top four, but it's out of 75 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 5: our hands to be honest. 76 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: At this point. 77 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 5: You know, we just want to be able to make 78 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 5: the top eight and get there playing well to give 79 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 5: ourselves a chance to actually do something when we get there. 80 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 8: Then you mentioned that trying to win the premiership from 81 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 8: outside the top four is probably too hard and never 82 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 8: been done before. 83 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, but if any team can do it, if any 84 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 6: team's going to do it, and I can do it, 85 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 6: if anyone's going to do it, it's them. 86 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 10: Here's a question. Here's a question. I don't know the answer. 87 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 10: Are they almost better off losing this week? Takes top 88 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 10: four out? They know they're playing knockout football, Then they 89 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 10: can rest some players, get a home final. Well that too. 90 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 10: I don't think with penwinth Honestly they can win anywhere when. 91 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 6: They're at their best. But they're being up for. 92 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 10: Three months, right, They haven't lost in regulation for about 93 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 10: what ten to eleven games? 94 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 4: Do they need? 95 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 10: You did it in ninety nine with the Broncos. You 96 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 10: got on this hot streak, you got to wak one 97 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 10: of the finals. 98 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 6: The tank was. 99 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 10: Empties, so it wouldn't blessing in disguise, and frankly, I 100 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 10: think it'd be so exciting if they came from fifth 101 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 10: to eighth. 102 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: It'd be to win time in a long time. 103 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 9: I think if Broncos, if it finishes with Broncos and 104 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 9: Penrith outside the top four, I think both those sides 105 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 9: would worry the top four. 106 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 4: I think the Broncos can win the CAMP. 107 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 9: I think yeah, absolutely, outside absolutely if they freshen up. 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: Carrigan looks a bit tight. 109 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 9: If they can get there, they get all their players 110 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 9: back and they're fresh. 111 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 11: Absolutely, I think Penrith definitely can win the comp from 112 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 11: outside the top four, and I thought Brisbane could as 113 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 11: well until those injuries a couple of weeks ago. Adam 114 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 11: Reynolds should be back, Ezra unlikely to sell one unlikely, 115 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 11: so they're just another injury away from potential been ruled 116 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 11: out of finals contention or Premiership contention for mine, but 117 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 11: I definitely think Penrith can win the confrom outside the 118 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 11: top four. 119 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 8: To answer your question, I don't think they want to 120 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 8: lose this week, but I'll explained I actually think that 121 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 8: I think they're still in the Rice. Like I don't 122 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 8: look into last week's result too much, and I think 123 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 8: I said it throughout this week on three sixty, I 124 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 8: thought they were close to the better team. Their first 125 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 8: forty minutes was fantastic and I was watching that forty 126 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 8: going they are the favorites and they got then they 127 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 8: got a few tough calls, Melbourne always staying at there. 128 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 8: A great team and they got they got it done. 129 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 8: But you know, I actually think they'll be Cambra this week. 130 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 8: And that's kind of how I feel and how. 131 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: Much I hold. 132 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 8: Them in high regard, not only with what they've been 133 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 8: able to do, but what they've done the last few months. 134 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 4: They are the real deal. Now, you said you've never 135 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 4: really seen Nathan as frustrated as he was in that game. 136 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 11: Yeah, after the game, after that, yeah, he very rarely 137 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 11: does Nathan remonstrate with officials, right, He's usually cool, calm, collected. 138 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 11: Even speaking to him on the field after the game, 139 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 11: you sensed a level of frustration. 140 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: And it wasn't the performance, right, it was. 141 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 11: The core around the field goal, right, That's what That's 142 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 11: what he was frustrated about. So I wouldn't read too 143 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 11: much into it in terms of them feeling under pressure 144 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 11: or anything like that. 145 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: But it was a level of frustration. 146 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 11: I guess that we're not that's generally not seen amongst 147 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 11: the Panthers. 148 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 4: Where did you tip the Raiders to come this year? 149 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: You tell me, I can't remember last Maybe. 150 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: Hang on, let's have a look, because I think. 151 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: We don't have it.

He said he wasn't listening to the 176 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 4: noise or using it as motivation. 177 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: Tips like they've been. 178 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 6: Pumping this game up down there for two weeks. 179 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 10: Remember they come off a buy I did something with 180 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 10: Joel Kine today and I might be stealing his stat 181 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 10: for later. Their record off of buye is unbelievably like 182 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 10: eleven and two from their last thirty and so he 183 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 10: knows how to reve up the end engines. 184 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 8: The Bulldogs are taking on the Storm this week, then 185 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 8: they've got the Penrith Panthers the following week. So this 186 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 8: is a critical two weeks for the Bulldogs Gordy and 187 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 8: especially now coming off that loss against the Roosters. 188 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, well it's a big challenge for him. Obviously, they 189 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 9: made a few changes weeks ago. They've hit a couple 190 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 9: of hurdles. The Tigers that are on the weekend, but 191 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 9: Melbourne still haven't put in a full eighty minute chat. 192 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 9: But it is a massive challenge and it for the 193 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 9: Dogs one to get their defense back in line and 194 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 9: to keep on working on their attack and Sam Walker 195 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 9: back sorry, and with Melbourne the way they attacked through 196 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 9: the middle, Harry Grant, you know all their small packed 197 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 9: the Dogs, which there's been a question mark. 198 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: Well there's the challenge. 199 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a huge test obviously for the Dogs because 200 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 11: as you said, Gordy, they've started a little bit over 201 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 11: the past couple of weeks. You know, Lockie Gavin through 202 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 11: that pass against the Dragons. He doesn't land that they lose. 203 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 11: The Tigers result, they're okay, well all pretty good against 204 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 11: the Warriors in poor conditions and then off the back 205 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 11: of last week not really been in the contest against 206 00:09:59,320 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 11: the Rooster. 207 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: Now they go to Melbourne almost. 208 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 11: The mission impossible over the past couple of seasons and 209 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 11: is a huge test for their premiership credential, with no doubt. 210 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 8: Daniel, You're not so much worried about the results this 211 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 8: close to the end, you're going to finish that. You 212 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 8: just want to see evidence of them being able to 213 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 8: be in the same level, at the same level as 214 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 8: these top ten. 215 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 10: They were to win, they'd still need Melbourne to lose 216 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 10: one along the way to finish second. They're probably going 217 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 10: to play Melbourne in the two v three, so they 218 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 10: don't want to get blown away here. I think we're 219 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 10: going to get the best. Whatever the best of Canterbury is. 220 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 10: I think we get it this week, right. 221 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: I reckon they are a better side with the changes 222 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: that they've made. 223 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 10: Their problem, Gordon, this is a question for you. But 224 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 10: their problem is they get run when they lose and 225 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 10: they look poor. It's when they get run over, Isn't 226 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 10: that the problem? Whether it's Galvin there, whether it's Hayward 227 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 10: and Hooker. 228 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 6: Look what the roosters did. 229 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 10: They front loaded Afarho White, Lindsay Collins and Spencer land 230 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 10: you and they ran over them. 231 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 6: That the same thing. 232 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 8: I think that's the concern is that they've got so 233 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 8: much character the dogs that they bounce back, you know, 234 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 8: and some of their performances. That's why it's been such 235 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 8: a discrepancy, you know. And so I said everyone was 236 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 8: pissing in our pockets last week. He was right, because 237 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 8: we all of us find ourselves going watching them one 238 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 8: week and sort of going, you know the other deal, 239 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 8: they can win a comp and you're watching me it's 240 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 8: risen and you go, well, hang on, hang on, They're 241 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 8: not quite there yet. 242 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 4: Right, So this is it. That's for me. 243 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 8: It's the next three games against top teams showing us. 244 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, we are the real deal heading into the finals. 245 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 4: Were not lose. 246 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 8: They can compete with those top teams when it comes 247 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 8: to semi final. 248 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 10: Do you have a feeling Melbourne might be a good 249 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 10: matchup for Canterbury even though Melbourne are the class of 250 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 10: the competition. Do Melbourne don't have the size necessarily not, 251 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 10: They're not small, but they're not they're not paying half. 252 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 8: As well, right, And that's and they're shifting their halves 253 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 8: around and Kevin went back to full back. You'll probably 254 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 8: move back to five to eight and perhaps will come 255 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 8: in and so you know, they haven't been clinical. They 256 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 8: just won on pure class last weekend and just because 257 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 8: they're a great team. 258 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 4: But now I think that the Dogs can catch him 259 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: off guard. 260 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 11: I think we're all still waiting for Melbourne to hit 261 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 11: top gear, right, Like at some point, I think we're 262 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 11: all on the assumption that they're going to put in 263 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 11: an eighty minute performance and I'm with you break. I 264 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 11: thought Penrith were probably the better side last week and 265 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 11: just got rolled late through a bit of individual brands 266 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 11: from Harry Grahant. But you know, I think if they 267 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 11: click into gear, I don't think the Bulldogs having that 268 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 11: gear to go with it. 269 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 4: But that's a good point too. 270 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 8: If Melbourne aren't their best, I'm surely going to be 271 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 8: able to beat Dally Cherry Evidence has reluctantly opened up 272 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 8: on his impending departure from Mainly as he prepares to 273 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 8: celebrate his three hundred and fiftieth game this weekend. 274 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 12: Just start off by saying, hopefully we can stay away 275 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 12: from the future stuff. 276 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: I'm not going to answer anything. 277 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 12: I understand you might ask, but I'm just not going 278 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 12: to answer anything. I want to try and keep the 279 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 12: focus on this weekend and mainly and hopefully the celebration 280 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 12: of this weekend. 281 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 5: Daily. 282 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: You reached through fifty this weekend?

I sat 293 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 12: on the decision for a while before it, so I 294 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 12: don't think so. 295 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: I think it's going to be all right. 296 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 297 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: Do you know in yourself when you will. 298 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: Make a decision of really? 299 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: No, I just know now it's not the right time. 300 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 12: You had the option to change how everything played out 301 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 12: this year, how the initial announcement, everything after that. 302 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 4: Would you go back and change how it's done? 303 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 12: I think I've been through bigger decisions than this one. 304 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 12: I thought the one earlier in my career was a 305 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 12: bigger one, and I've got no regrets for that one, 306 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 12: So I reckon I'll have no regrets for this one. 307 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 12: You know, Have I really showed my true colors through 308 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 12: the media. 309 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: Probably not. 310 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 12: But I guess there's also a part of me that 311 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 12: really enjoys when I'm at the pub and someone can 312 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 12: comes up to me and we have a chat and 313 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 12: then they go, jeez, you're not what I thought you were. 314 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 8: Daily Cherry Evans, first of all, congratulations on three and 315 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 8: fifty games a monumental achievement.

In your three 317 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 8: hundred and fiftieth interesting press conference, he said he didn't 318 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 8: want to answer any questions his future, but he ended 319 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 8: up doing having to do it. 320 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 4: What do we make of that? 321 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 11: Look, it's very DC right, like he's super polite but guarded, 322 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 11: and that's probably how he's been through his whole career 323 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 11: with the media at times. But look, he's a guy 324 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 11: that is super respectful of the media's job, right, and 325 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 11: he's been on the receiving end a few times. He's 326 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 11: touched on it on some barrage of criticism for backflips 327 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 11: and teammates having a crack at him, all these sorts 328 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 11: of things right, and even the way he handled the 329 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 11: start of the year. But look, I don't think the 330 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 11: problem that we've got is that when he came out 331 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 11: at the start of the he goes, look, this decision 332 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 11: will put an end to it and will put the 333 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 11: distructions away that's been proven wrong. 334 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 8: It's interesting how he he'd say there is this kind 335 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 8: of persona out there about him because of the way 336 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 8: he's betrayed in the media or the way that he communicates, right, 337 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 8: I just want to say as Yeah, I want to 338 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 8: say one thing they Goady.

When he will stand offishers 345 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 11: as a journalist, you're saying the action. 346 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 9: So when he talks about the decision at the beginning 347 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 9: of his career, that was an action. So when you 348 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 9: let down people, and I was part of that there, 349 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 9: I rang him, so he let me down. 350 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: With his words and his actions. 351 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 9: So that's so that doesn't leave you, right, And then 352 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 9: you go to meet someone in the pub and you're 353 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 9: talking him for five minutes. They don't know you. You 354 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 9: can't hang your hat on that people. 355 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 6: I don't know if this is an Australian trait or 356 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 6: in general. 357 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 10: People want authenticity. I like DC as well, right, but 358 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 10: I think the flawed athlete we've had character wise, you 359 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 10: could say, was Shane Wan the legend of Shane warn 360 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 10: But people loved him because he showed you who he 361 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 10: was and he was unafraid to be the guy who 362 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 10: what he presented was unvarnished and DC he said it there, 363 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 10: and I've always found him pleasant as well. 364 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 6: I've never I would never don't know him that well, 365 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 6: but I don't have a bad way to say about him. 366 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 10: But he kind of admitted there a light going to 367 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 10: the pub and people come up. That means he cultivated that. 368 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 11: Yes, but he's not He's not even being critical. He's 369 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 11: not being critical of the way he's been portrayed. I 370 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 11: think he understands that. 371 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 4: He's aware of it. 372 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 3: He's contributed. He's contributed to it, right, So I've got 373 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 3: no issue with it. 374 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 8: Cooper's observations concerning but I think he'll bounce back at 375 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 8: the roosters. 376 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 377 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 11: I thought much in the Maddie and Cooper Show was 378 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 11: out like that analysis around the lack of contact or 379 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 11: desires it to get in contact. 380 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 3: I thought was a huge observation around DCE. 381 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 11: But I'm you know, it's hard because if once you 382 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 11: guys know better than me, if you lose that contact, 383 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 11: it's hard to. 384 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 3: That Evin it's come back, but it is a concern, right. 385 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 11: I'm not saying it's not a concern, but I feel 386 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 11: like his talent is still there. We've seen glimpses of 387 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 11: the day that he got dropped from Origin. The next 388 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 11: game he came back and produced amount of the match performance. 389 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: Right. 390 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 11: So I think in a different system, with a different 391 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 11: forward pack, with a different level of scrutiny and expectation, 392 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 11: without the leadership role of being captain and the burden 393 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 11: that he's carried this year, which is obviously affected his foot. 394 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 11: He can say it hasn't, but it's clear cut that 395 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 11: everything that's gone on has affected his football and in 396 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 11: some of his relationships potentially. 397 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 2: I think going to affect your reputation. 398 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 9: So the skill you spoke about, which he's got a 399 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 9: lot of, but the will is the most important thing 400 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 9: in our game. 401 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, and only here will know deep down if he's 402 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 11: still got that desire to put his head in places 403 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 11: I could have put my heads that you guys did, right, 404 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 11: So only he will know if he's got that. But 405 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 11: I think getting out of that system, getting out of 406 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 11: the glare, the spotlight everything that's on with him this year, 407 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 11: I think if he goes to the ristles or when 408 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 11: he gets to the Roosters with. 409 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 3: James Tedesco there. 410 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 11: I know he's got tom Travoyavvich, but Tommy's not the 411 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 11: same player that he was a couple of years ago. Right, 412 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 11: You've got this forward pack that's dynamic at the Roosters. 413 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 11: I think you'll play off the front foot a fair 414 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 11: bit more than what's happened in the Beg. 415 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 8: We can reinvigorate you, especially in a place where everyone's 416 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 8: happy with a good culture. 417 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 4: He's certainly not there. 418 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 11: Forward pack is been getting decimated. Dan touched on the 419 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 11: fact that Canterbury's forward pack has struggled at times, that 420 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 11: mainly forward pack never gets him on the front foot, right, 421 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 11: So we see DC and Tommy having to try and 422 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 11: and create stuff and it's just not working. 423 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 3: Right. 424 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 10: Everything you say is right, except the lights aren't getting 425 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 10: any dinner. When he goes to the Roosters, that he 426 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 10: will be the story of the first six weeks in them. 427 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 11: It will be, but he won't carry that Captaincy roll right, 428 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 11: that's the only thing that's going to be. Of course, 429 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 11: all the bright lights will be on him down, no doubt, 430 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 11: and the spotlight. 431 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 10: Will be on you and your brethren will have back 432 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 10: in one game. 433 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 4: I'll get a half time. 434 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 8: What did you make of DC's reaction after the loss 435 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 8: is quite emotional. 436 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 4: We noticed it too. 437 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 10: We'll call them the game for radio, and we're getting 438 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 10: the raw pictures, and we thought this is a bit 439 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 10: strange because it's not his last home game. It was 440 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 10: at the Footy Stadium. There was nothing significant about the 441 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 10: actual game itself. I felt like, I know there was 442 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 10: the defensive liabilities, but I thought he put everything into it. 443 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 10: There was real frustration, agitation that we hadn't seen from him, 444 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 10: and he was in that post for I reckon a 445 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 10: good two minutes. He was utterly devastated. Now players are 446 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 10: becoming more sophisticated at working the cameras and knowing where 447 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 10: they are. I'm not sure though, I think this was 448 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 10: there was I felt like I Vossi went on his 449 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 10: radio show and said that had retirement written all over it. 450 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 6: Maybe it's right to me. It was dawned on him. 451 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 10: My manly time is coming to an end because they're 452 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 10: out of the finals race. Now I can now it's 453 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 10: it's it's sort of hit him like it's done. 454 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 3: There was a crucial moment. 455 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 11: I think that Dan points out as the fact that 456 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 11: you know, usually when d DC makes an error, a 457 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 11: teammate makes an area's very upbe and he sort of 458 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 11: smiles and brushes it off. When he went short sight 459 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 11: to Benchavoyvich, he looked angry, he looked up and that's 460 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 11: not a site that you see from DC too often. 461 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 8: And this is why I've squashed the rumors around retiring. 462 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 8: I can't see him retiring because of legacy. You know, 463 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 8: he's three out and fifty games this week. He's had 464 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 8: a great career. It hasn't ended the way he's wanted 465 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 8: it to do at mainly he has an opportunity to rewrite 466 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 8: that at the Roosters. That's why I think that he 467 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 8: will play on and I have no doubt about it. 468 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 8: Now Buzz hits the roof. He hits the roof over 469 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 8: this Madge. He's taking the Broncos into another camp. 470 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 3: Let's just be clear. 471 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 11: There will be no spew buckets, there'll be no cruisers. 472 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 11: You know, I've spoken to people in and around Brisbane 473 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 11: today camp. So it's a five day camp that was 474 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 11: booked in a couple of months ago, and they're calling 475 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 11: it a free focus camp, right, so get the boys 476 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 11: together before the finals. 477 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 3: Get about it. 478 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 4: No, Commando is there? 479 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 3: No, not that I know. No, No, it's whereabouts? Is 480 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 3: it Newcastle? 481 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: Okay, it's not at one of the Wineries or something. 482 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: No, I think it'd be bit zen Zen a bit 483 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 3: of a refresher, a bit of a refocus. 484 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 11: Get him in, get them together and refocus heading into 485 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 11: the business end of the season. 486 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: He didn't like that. I like it. 487 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 4: I like it. 488 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 3: I don't have an issue with it. 489 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 9: How about you going and I don't Yeah, I don't mind, 490 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 9: but sure, well it'd be finals time you do it. No, 491 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 9: this is this is not being disrespectful, but it's not 492 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 9: against Newcastle three weeks. 493 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 11: They're not going into camp to play Newcastle. Like I 494 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 11: know they play Newcastle this weekend. But this isn't designed 495 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 11: with the Newcastle Knights in With all due respect, this 496 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 11: is not designed for the Newcastle Knights in mind. It's 497 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 11: it's for three four weeks when they get on the 498 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 11: when they get into the finals. 499 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 6: At these camps work. 500 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 10: I'm not talking about him specifically, but Anders this is 501 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 10: not that uncommon and Brian Smith used to do it. 502 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 6: But I'm just picking a name. Really, it could have 503 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 6: been anyone. 504 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 8: Lots of teams do it just because it's. 505 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: That doesn't know I mean by then then I like them. 506 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 4: I don't mind. 507 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 8: It brings the team together. Especially I suppose if you're 508 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 8: traveling in the state, you know what depends what the 509 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 8: camp involved.

Not five days leading in to a game. 520 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 8: What if they are playing golf and playing cards and 521 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 8: just have and going for a nice dinners. 522 00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: Raining, is it. 523 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 8: Hang if they if they fall out of the finals, 524 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 8: down we're going to blame his camp. 525 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 4: The camp. 526 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: It's not the camp. 527 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: Is it more about. 528 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: The camp you want to want to bring in the camp. 529 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be like you put it on. 530 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 4: The run, the buzz would just be you'd be devastated. 531 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 2: He's not on to. 532 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 8: Months the camp are we're here now as Madge figured 533 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 8: Reese Walsh out that that game on the weekend was scintillating. 534 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 8: You know, we come to expect that from Reese when 535 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 8: he's at his. 536 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 4: Best, but he. 537 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: Reckon Reese is just I just think. 538 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 8: Reese is slowly finding his feet, you know, because the 539 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 8: one thing that Madge is always stuck to his guns 540 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 8: out here is no I want Reese to play like 541 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 8: Reese play with freedom. We're going to expect mistakes, but 542 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 8: we're also going to see brilliants now. At times we've 543 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 8: said rece needs to find that balance, he needs to 544 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 8: pull it back and more diamonds, less rocks. But you know, 545 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 8: maybe that read him and that responsibility and the respect 546 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 8: now is Reese is paying them back. 547 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: You just hit it on the head right. 548 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 9: Adam Reynolds was tries to do everything Ben Hunt. The 549 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 9: experience he's got went rich. You're the star, Why don't 550 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 9: you have a bit more rain? And I think he 551 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 9: enjoyed it because he didn't. He didn't get the ball 552 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 9: five times and want to score. He got the ball 553 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 9: a lot more so he could express himself when he 554 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 9: wanted to. I thought that was pretty. 555 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 8: Much he speed, the ability to get from the open 556 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 8: to the short or vice versa in a split second, 557 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 8: and then read the numbers and one on one the 558 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 8: way he just glides and beats defenders and creates the 559 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 8: extra man. 560 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 4: He's a special talent. 561 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 8: We haven't seen the best of Reese like I really 562 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 8: believe he can be close to the best playing the game. 563 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 10: And his numbers are the same basically as twenty twenty three. 564 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 10: That is, if you add his tries and try us 565 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 10: this up per game, it's about the same. 566 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 6: But his error rates about the same. 567 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 10: That's what you get with three Swalsh in twenty three 568 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 10: one of the best players in the comp He made 569 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 10: fifty five errors in twenty two games, so two. 570 00:24:58,920 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 6: And a half a game. 571 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 10: You can't be shocked if he now has a game 572 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 10: on SAT Sunday where they sneak ca him and he 573 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 10: has six errors, because. 574 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 6: That's who he is. 575 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 10: He's going to give you last week, but he might 576 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 10: give you. 577 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 6: A less than that game next week. 578 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 11: You mentioned freedom too, breath. He looks like he's free 579 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 11: in his body a little bit as well. 580 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 3: He'd been. 581 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 11: You know, he look no strapping. He looks like he'd 582 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 11: just get through games. He's been limping through games. We 583 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 11: didn't see that last week. He looked really free, and 584 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 11: I think that contributed to arguably his best performance of 585 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 11: the season. 586 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 4: Good point now, a very good friend. 587 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 8: Dennis the Bullfrog, Richie with bulldogs bite Now he's I 588 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 8: wish he was on tonight too, so we could question him. 589 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 3: You guys want me to go to wheneveryone else too 590 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 3: late where he's closed. 591 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 8: Now he's questioning Rayles and the success of Power Matter, 592 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 8: which we've talked up the majority of the year. We 593 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 8: have seen improvement, we believe that we have. The last 594 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 8: few weeks they have fallen off their perch a little here. 595 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: Do we agree with Bulldog or bullfrog or whatever you 596 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: want to call him. 597 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: I don't, no, no, I don't. 598 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 11: I get that again, if you're looking at it, clearly 599 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 11: it wins and losses right in terms of where Paramatta, 600 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 11: I don't think they've been as comprehensive as probably some 601 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 11: had made out. But I don't think it's two more 602 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 11: gloom either, because you look at the fact that Mitchell 603 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 11: moses what's he played nine games this year, the fact 604 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 11: that they've got a rookie fullback. There has been so 605 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 11: much change. I had the Dylan Brown turmoil going on. 606 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 3: You know. 607 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 11: So they've cleared out the joint that Ryan Madison it's 608 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 11: not there. Sean Lane is not their Joe Offering Galway. 609 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 11: These are the guys that started the season out the 610 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 11: door already, right, So I think they're building. You can 611 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 11: see the structure of play that Jason Roles is trying 612 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 11: to introduce, the game play in the middle of the 613 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 11: field of forwards, in the changing passes, the sharp back 614 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 11: line movements. 615 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 3: They've unearthed a gem in his You. 616 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 11: We're going to be looking back in five or ten 617 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 11: years time and judging Jason Rowles on the first call 618 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 11: that he made was to shift Clink Guthason to sign 619 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 11: his you, We're going to be saying that is one 620 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 11: of the greatest cause of rookie coach has made. So 621 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 11: I think they're they're trending in the right direction. If 622 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 11: Mitch Moses plays twenty games next year, I think they 623 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 11: can push for the top eighth. 624 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 8: Well, the fifteenth last year, fourteenth this year. I think 625 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 8: that's what Dog's going off. 626 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 3: The direction this year direction actually agree with you. 627 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 8: I mean, two weeks ago, if I was saying how 628 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 8: great roles he was in the clubs on the improved 629 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 8: and they've had two ordinary games and went back through it. 630 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 6: But these games don't matter. 631 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 10: I mean, honestly, they're not going to win the spoon. 632 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 10: I read that in a different light. I didn't see 633 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 10: that as a shot of Paramata. I saw it as 634 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 10: a shot at the media in all honesty, because the 635 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 10: points he was making a very interesting bulldog, and I 636 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 10: think his tone was why we got why we glazing 637 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 10: Paramata so much when they're fifteenth on the ladder, when 638 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 10: they've had seven wins. 639 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 6: It's look, it's food for thought. 640 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 10: As far as rebuilds go, you mentioned nearly all the 641 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 10: name gut Theason, you got rid of Campbell, Gillard. 642 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 6: Madison's on a loan. 643 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 10: They're hoping that they can see him off to the 644 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 10: Super League. You mentioned players like off A hen Gowie, 645 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 10: Sean Lane. There's another couple I forgetting that's not bad 646 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 10: for one year if you consider that era is done. 647 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 10: This is the new era, and you've got to get 648 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 10: fifty sixty games into Yongie and Papali and the Riley 649 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 10: Smith's and it's late in the season. I think you 650 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 10: can forgive them for being a little off. 651 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 6: At this point. 652 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 8: We've got some breaking news from Bulldog Richie who were 653 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 8: just reported the story about Paramounta Tino set to pledge 654 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 8: his allegiance to the Kangaroos. 655 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 4: Well for now, for now that is. 656 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 8: I don't think this is official, but this is the 657 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 8: story that's just gone up on the Daily Telegraph website. 658 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 8: And if this is the case, this is great news 659 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 8: for Australia. 660 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 11: Huge news if it is the case, because all indications 661 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 11: were that Tino was going to join Payne Hass and 662 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 11: play for some others. So huge news because you look 663 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 11: at the Kangaroo's middle and it's pretty weak, right, It's 664 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 11: probably the weakest middle Australia would ever put on the 665 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 11: park with Haars out no Tino. So you look at 666 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 11: and you throw Tino back into the mix and it's 667 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 11: a huge win. But the only thing that I would say, 668 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 11: if it's only for the ashes, like surely you're making 669 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 11: a commitment to the end of the World Cup. 670 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 4: It's only for the ashes, that's our understanding. 671 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 3: Surely you're saying, well, isn't. 672 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 4: Just for the ashes? And then he will re evaluate 673 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 4: or may. 674 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 6: It's good news. Good you can still play for Queensland. 675 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: I'm not going to. 676 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 6: Start on you. I'm not going to start on your 677 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 6: Gordy Dan. 678 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: Relax. I'm tired with that argument. 679 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 4: Well you know we're staying here because Mick, you've got 680 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 4: a solution. 681 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 11: Well, I've got I've got an idea of the fact 682 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 11: that when you look at what Origin has become and 683 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 11: all these players put in their hand up for different 684 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 11: countries at the end of the year, which I don't 685 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 11: have an issue with, right If if you're eligible for 686 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 11: whoever you want to represent, who am I to tell 687 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 11: you who to represent? 688 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 3: Right? 689 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 11: But I think we've got to try and build this 690 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 11: international game right and get the fact that all these 691 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 11: players are playing for some are and tong are a 692 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 11: New Zealand and build a three game series. 693 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: Right. So we've got Origin at the moment, it kills 694 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: the competition. 695 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 11: Okay, So you know, when the new TV structure TV 696 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 11: broadcast is done, I think we may see a period 697 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 11: where Origin standalone and everyone's craving out for more content. 698 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 11: During that period, well, I think there needs to be 699 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 11: a three match series on the same weekend somehow be Tonga. Right, 700 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 11: so then these players have they don't have a choice. Well, 701 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 11: they do have a choice. You play for New South 702 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 11: Wales Queensland, you play for Tonga, and then that's it, right, 703 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 11: you can't go back and the end of the year 704 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 11: and go I played for New South Wales here, Now 705 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 11: I want to play for Tomorrow or song here? No, no, 706 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 11: you're going to play for them. And we build that up, right, 707 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 11: so it's a money making machine, so that money can 708 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 11: almost get as big as Origin and build it to 709 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 11: be a State of Origin. 710 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 4: If those players wanted to play Origin. 711 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 3: Though, well then they play Origin. 712 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 4: They have had to choose. They have to make it. 713 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 4: You make it and make decisions. It makes a choice, 714 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: you know, I'm just asking the question. 715 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: But if you if you build that game. 716 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 4: Up, so all these guys will have to make a decision, yeah. 717 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 3: Why not? 718 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 4: Why not? 719 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 3: And I've got no issue. You can choose. You can 720 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 3: choose whichever one you like. I do not have an issue. 721 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 9: And to make it even better, all the Samoan kids 722 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 9: playing in the Queensland competition, let's have a state of 723 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 9: Origin Queensland versus New South Wales and just keep on 724 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 9: building their game and help them build their product like 725 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 9: from with in so then when they come and play 726 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 9: against us, right, it is messive, but we've got to 727 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 9: stop blocking out the kids from Queensland and their pathway, 728 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 9: the kids from New South Wales, from Dubbo and Wellington 729 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 9: and all those areas and their. 730 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 3: Pathway, and eventually we're going to have it, and don't 731 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 3: forget in fifteen ten or fifteen years time we're going 732 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 3: to have a P and G side that's going to 733 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 3: be competitive as well. So throw them into the mis very. 734 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 4: Quite over there, dan Ah, Yeah, no, no, no, I 735 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 4: like you thinking. 736 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 6: I like where your head's at. But you use the 737 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 6: term money tree. 738 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 10: If the NRL is obsessed with one thing, it's they 739 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 10: want to grow the money tree. They're not going to 740 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 10: shake the money tree and risk it and they're. 741 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 6: Not going to touch origin. This is why all these things. 742 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 10: I understand your passion, Gordy, and you bled for that 743 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 10: Australian Jersey. 744 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 6: So when you talk about players having. 745 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 10: To commit to a state, to commit to a country, 746 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 10: I'm not going to as just some Yahoo argue with 747 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,719 Speaker 10: you because you've done something most of us haven't done. 748 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 10: You have two break But at the same time these 749 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 10: This is the biggest money treats of money Forest. The 750 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 10: NRAL ain't going to They might tweak it and make 751 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 10: it two weeks in between games, things of that nature, 752 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 10: just so we can improve club football. 753 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 6: They're not going to muck around with it. 754 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 10: They had to during COVID and they got caught out 755 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 10: when the audience was cut in half and they had 756 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 10: to play the games in November. 757 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 6: I would be stunned if they. 758 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 10: Made drastic changes to Origin, including eligibility. 759 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 11: The eligibility the Origins impacted if those guys don't play, 760 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 11: I don't. 761 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 3: I don't think Origins impacted. 762 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 11: I think Origin will still showcase the greatest thirty four 763 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 11: players on the planet playing against each other. 764 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 8: Well, that's one thing I've said. The Origin will always 765 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 8: be great. It will survive everything. 766 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 9: And then I was talking to Day right in my era, 767 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 9: when I was just finishing, I think the biggest superstar 768 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 9: playing our game was sunny Bill Williams. He didn't get 769 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 9: the player state of Origin was still around. Sam Burgess 770 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 9: superstarf didn't get to play. Benji Marshall was like. 771 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 6: The three extremes. They're the extreme.
