It is the Melbourne Storm taking on 12 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: the Brisbane Broncos tomorrow night, Thursday, seven pm, Live and 13 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: ad break free right here on Fox League. Gordy got 14 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: to be looking forward to this one. 15 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, a massive challenge for Brisbane. They have a horrible 16 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 5: record against Melbourne and Melbourne have been one of those sides, 17 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 5: a little bit inconsistent and without their half back. 18 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 6: It's a real big chance from We. 19 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 7: Have only got five rounds left, but we've got about 20 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 7: seven blockbusters. There's been two just the way the drawers worked, 21 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 7: just luck of the draw beautiful. There haven't been a 22 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 7: great deal of blockbusters. Now we get every week at 23 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 7: least one or two. Melbourne's got a few of these 24 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 7: to come. They've got four games against other top six teams, 25 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 7: so I think we're going to find out about them 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 7: as much as any too. 27 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 8: And Gordy mentions that the Storms record against the Broncos, 28 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 8: but Michae McGuire has won just one game out of 29 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 8: fourteen against Craig Bellamy. 30 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Is that right? 31 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 4: It's crazy, it's kind of floating. 32 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: We've got to Brisbane Bridge, all right. 33 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, he won one game for South and I think 34 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 8: he was back in thirteen in a finals game, so remarkable. 35 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 8: Will think that because he had success, lots of success 36 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 8: obviously at SOUS. 37 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: Isn't it a big turnaround for Imagine he's Bronco as 38 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: if they can beat the Storm. Now, this Indigenous round 39 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: spans over two weeks and no one misses out. Great 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: initiative by the NRL. 41 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, obviously with the buye, you know you won 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 5: every player, especially all the Indigenous. 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 6: They've been a massive part on it. 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 5: When I retired from State of Origin, I think we're 45 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 5: at about twenty or thirty five percent of Indigenous players. 46 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 6: So they do a great job. 47 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 5: The jerseys look fantastic and those guys have been stars 48 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 5: for a long long time. 49 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 7: Often you get teams that have the beautiful indigenous jumper 50 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 7: and they can't wear them on the on the on 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 7: the round because maybe it clashes or it just doesn't 52 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 7: work out. 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 3: But at least this way we can make sure they 54 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 3: all get they all get soon. 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: I agree now, Storm Coage Crazy Bellamy has today addressed 56 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the noise around star playmaker Cameron Munster. 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 9: At the end of the day, Kevira's got to deal 58 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 9: what's right for him and at the end of the day, 59 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 9: if that's gone to Perth is the best thing for 60 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 9: him and his family. 61 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: What he's done for our club. We're not going to 62 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: be dirty on that, but we'd love to keep him 63 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: made out of club. 64 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: We'd love to and we'll do everything we can to 65 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: keep me keep him in. 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Coach Craig Bellamy there adamant and he wants to 67 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: keep Cameron at the club, but said he wouldn't stand 68 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: in his way if he wanted to leave. I think 69 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: it's probably right for me to clear a few things 70 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: up and talk on behalf of the situation. So Cameron 71 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: doesn't want to leave Melbourne and Melbourne don't want to 72 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: let him go. At the moment, it's really just all speculation. 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: One thing's for sure, I'm not shopping him to Perth. 74 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to shop him to Perth. But also 75 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't need to. But it's a unique situation because 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: you've got a new franchise which doesn't come along too 77 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: often and they could have possible interest in him, or 78 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: they're trying to build a team around a club or 79 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: a marquee player. And then you've got the Melbourne Storm 80 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: who are trying to fit five or six players superstars 81 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: into the salary cap. As it stands right now, it 82 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: is just speculation and the scenario as it is, nothing's 83 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: going to change. He's going to be at Melbourne for 84 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: the next couple of years and that's it now. If 85 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: anything changes and the scenario changes, and then you know, 86 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: there comes a point where all of the all of 87 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: us have got to get together and have a chat 88 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: about it and discuss it, we will. But right now 89 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: there's nothing really to talk about unless, as I said, 90 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: things change in terms of who they sign and where 91 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: their caps at and all that. But right now it 92 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: is it is a non event. 93 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 5: Mick Dan if you were the club, If you're the club, 94 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 5: what are you doing. Cameron's at thirty, got young kids, 95 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 5: Peasant coming up. You just signed j Eram Hughes, Harry Grant. 96 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 6: What are you doing situation. 97 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 8: I think the key player that you mentioned there's Jonah Peasant, Gordy. 98 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 8: I'm looking to him long term and I'm building my 99 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 8: future around Jonah. You've got Jerome Hughes locked in as 100 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 8: well for the next couple of seasons, and I'm going, 101 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 8: as Craig said, thank you for the service camp. We've 102 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 8: got twelve more good months. Let's rip in and let's 103 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 8: see if we can win another competition or two. But 104 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 8: I'm probably going to let him go. 105 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 7: Firstly, it's a joke that Perth can't start signing players. 106 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 7: I mean, there are a new franchise, They're under the 107 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 7: same salary cap as everyone else. 108 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: There's no draft. 109 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 7: They should be A new franchise should always be given something. 110 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 7: Now the Dolphin the excusability. The Dolphins weren't given those 111 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 7: favors either, and they've done remarkably well. Just because the 112 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 7: Dolphins weren't given that right doesn't mean it was correct. 113 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 7: I think it was the wrong decision and the Dolphins 114 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 7: have succeeded in space. 115 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 5: We're seventy five years old. The Dolphins have been around 116 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 5: a long time, but we don't have a. 117 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 7: Scene a d If we had a draft system, you 118 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 7: can manipulate the draft and in favor of the new franchise. 119 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 4: So when would they start down? When would you like? 120 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 6: Now? 121 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: Open season? 122 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: Everyone else? 123 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 6: November one? 124 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 7: Everyone else now per at Perth as of now can 125 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 7: go and talk to people. They've got to build it 126 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 7: an entire club. Anyway, that aside, I'm fascinated with the 127 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 7: Bellamy aspect of this is that he's so open to 128 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 7: this idea. I mean, he made it clear they want 129 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 7: to keep him, but there was something beveled off about 130 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 7: the way he talked about Perth. Don't that was the 131 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 7: roosters that were being brought up, or that was Broncos 132 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 7: or any other club. Really, it seems very specific that 133 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 7: Melbourne are comfortable with Cam going off to Perth. That's 134 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 7: what it feels like to meet and he's how old 135 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 7: is how old is he thirty this year? 136 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: Thirty one? 137 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 7: Can make a lot of money at Perth and that's 138 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 7: why I think they probably won't. 139 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 3: Want to stand in his way. 140 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: Other news, Nelson not named despite serving suspension. Would you 141 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: guys be playing him this week. 142 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 6: I think what they did. 143 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 5: Last year make him hungry, go back, get some minutes 144 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 5: under his belt. I don't think they can win the 145 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 5: competition without him. I think he is dangerous. I think 146 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 5: he can make an impact. He's probably the best big 147 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 5: man to come off and change momentum in the game. 148 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 5: So I've watched this before, a bit of deja vous 149 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 5: with Nelson. 150 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's deja vous for sure. He's God. 151 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 8: He said, this is not the first time we've had 152 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 8: here and speculated that his future is uncertain, that Melbourne's fallen, 153 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 8: they've fallen out of love with him anything. 154 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: Because we've been talking about this for quite a while 155 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: and it seems like he's on the nose there and 156 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's on field, off field, a 157 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: combination of the two, but it feels like to me 158 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: that they're slowly trying to kind of move him out 159 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: the door. 160 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been like this for twenty four months. 161 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 8: Breath where you think, Okay, Nelson's time is going to 162 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 8: come to an end, and then they fall back in 163 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 8: love with him. That's what's happened. They've fallen in and 164 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 8: out of love with him over the past twenty four months. 165 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 8: At the moment they're out of love with him, but 166 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 8: that's not the show. 167 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 4: That's not to say it. 168 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 8: With a couple of good performances in New South Wales 169 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 8: Cup that he might be able to get his way 170 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 8: back because I'm with Gordy, like I think Melbourne win 171 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 8: the comp without Nelson, but he's impact off the bench 172 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 8: in a twenty twenty five minutes stint. 173 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: He can wreak some havoc. 174 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 8: But you know clubs whereother clubs have been aware that 175 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 8: he's been for sale for the last two seasons. 176 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: Could they win the comp without Gordy? 177 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 6: He'd who has has improved, He's. 178 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 3: Got intimidation factor the way this guy. 179 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 5: No, well, it's just because of his sheer, brute size 180 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 5: and Nelson you wouldn't want to be taking him on 181 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 5: in front of But I think they came without him. 182 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 6: I just think that it would make the job. 183 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: During a little bit final last year, he was out 184 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: for the Grand Final and we asked the same question, 185 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 1: can they win this GF without Big Nelson? Obviously they didn't. 186 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it was because he wasn't out there, 187 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: but it certainly didn't help. 188 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 7: I wouldn't worry yet you've talked about He've done this before. Also, 189 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 7: I've heard other Melbourne players, one recently on a podcast 190 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 7: I think, was talking about the idea that Craig Bellamy 191 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 7: treats him differently Nelson to the rest. 192 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 3: He doesn't yell at Nelson the way he might yell 193 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: at other players. 194 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 7: I understand, but Nelson battles then the master coaches, Wayne Bennett, 195 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 7: Craig Bellamy man managers. I know how to true, but 196 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 7: this is how he pushes Nelson's buttons, and I doubt 197 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 7: if this was the round twenty seven. 198 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 6: He push his buttons from another state. 199 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: Not in the team. 200 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 7: I'm just saying, Gordy, this is how he pushes him 201 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 7: to get back in the peak of fitness. 202 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: Craig was visibly pissed off with that last performance of 203 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: Nelson's and I think it's going to take a lot 204 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: for him to earn the right to be back in 205 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: the team with Craig. 206 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 8: Because especially when I feel like Craig's been his big backer. 207 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 8: Right There's probably others at the club that haven't been 208 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 8: so sure. But Craig, for whatever reason, has wanted to 209 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,479 Speaker 8: hold on to him, and that might be the final straw. 210 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: Michael maguire is not threatened by the Broncos record against 211 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: the Storm as they welcome back paying hearts for tomorrow's clash. Yeah, look, 212 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: testament to them. 213 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 10: They've obviously set the mark, but it's all the new 214 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 10: game now, so you know we've got to go down 215 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 10: and apply what we've been practicing. You know, this is 216 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 10: the next step for us to get that we want 217 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 10: to get to and that's at the back end of 218 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 10: the year and playing and playing well. 219 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, a great test for us and a great opportunity. 220 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 6: Well we're a. 221 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 10: Different team, I guess because you know, I haven't been 222 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 10: here before. So you know, it's about living in the 223 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 10: now image. 224 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 4: Painehars seems to be moving pretty well. 225 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: Will played this. 226 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 3: Week, definitely. 227 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 10: Yeah, Well he's at his break, he's ready to go. 228 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 10: But it's all about management with how they're feeling at 229 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 10: the moment in time and unfortun last week, you know, 230 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 10: you got that little bit of a nick on his 231 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 10: leg and was infected. 232 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: Say we'd look after him. He's back Pine, Yes, great 233 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: news for the Broncos that have paining hass back, but 234 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: Madge calls for more steel in his team. Is this 235 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: the only thing missing. 236 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 6: They won't go down there and outgrind Melbourne. 237 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 4: We play touch forty against them. 238 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, well you've got to chance your arm against Yeah. 239 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 5: If they play the way they did and Reese is 240 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 5: allowed to express himself, then they go down there and 241 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 5: throw the ball around a bit like that twenty odd 242 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 5: minutes against Penrith. But Brisbane ain't going to go down 243 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 5: there and grind. I didn't realize Madge's record was one 244 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 5: from fourteen years. So to go there and come out 245 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 5: of that system and think this is how you're going 246 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 5: to beat them, no one Outgrides. Probably Penrith are the 247 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: only side in recent history that can aid. 248 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: Fascinating. You just said Madge was there for quite a while. Yeah, 249 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, and he's obviously had success off the back 250 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: of moving on and learning his traits from them. But 251 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: can't beat them like you so you know how they play, 252 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: you know this, but you still can't beat all. 253 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 7: We're still Brisbane boat them. But then once in seventeen 254 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 7: was a final, so there was a pretty significant game 255 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 7: they beat them. But where there's a few coaches with 256 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 7: that sort of record, but I think most of them 257 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 7: have that that's pretty ugly. 258 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 8: I don't think Michael Wise is going there and thinking 259 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 8: they're going to outgrind Melbourne, like that's not what they're 260 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 8: going to do, right, More to your point, Cordy, But 261 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 8: it's the fact it's the missing ingredient, right, because they've 262 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 8: got all the flair, they've got all the points, but 263 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 8: for them to win the camp they need a bit 264 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 8: of that grit. 265 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 4: And if they find that grit, I think they can 266 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: win the. 267 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: Corps defensive grip like you'd need, especially when Munster and 268 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 5: they goes start rolling on Harry Grant through the middle 269 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 5: of the rug But I believe they've got to play 270 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 5: their style of footy and make mistakes, but just defend them. 271 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 7: Yes, something I think Melbourne at the bigger unknown here. 272 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 7: You know, Melbourne have not played a top six side 273 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 7: since Magic Ground, right, They've really. 274 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 3: Coasted through most of the season. 275 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 7: They've been Penrith in round three, Nathan Cleary was cancust 276 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 7: after five minutes. They thump the Warriors in round six, 277 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 7: could win but a long time ago lost to Canberra 278 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 7: and Magic Ground. 279 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 3: They haven't played a. 280 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 7: Top six side since and they've sort of been They've 281 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 7: been doing enough, haven't they. But I'm more interested in 282 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 7: them this week because the Broncos actually at least have 283 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 7: some exposed form against top eight. 284 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: I think the Broncos deserve more credit than what they've 285 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: been given. 286 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: Well, I just think we've seen the Bulldogs. 287 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 7: They thumped them once. They beat them in a pre 288 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 7: Origin game, was a great win. But I'm not sure 289 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 7: we can read much into that. I think there's a 290 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 7: lot of unknowns about a lot of these top sides 291 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 7: because they just haven't played each other, whereas Broncos at 292 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 7: least we've seen something. They had a very bad day 293 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 7: against Penrith in Magic Ground. That's probably their worst day. 294 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 7: They lost to Canberra way back in round two. You 295 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 7: can probably forget that. You know, that's the second best 296 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 7: top eight record in the comp. Canberra is the best. 297 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 7: I think six and one that's the second best. There's 298 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 7: some pretty ordinary records Canterbury Melbourne Warriors that they don't 299 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 7: have a good record against. 300 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: Time. 301 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: I think you're spot on, Dere This is a hard 302 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: game to get a reado or to know how it's 303 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: going to play out. Because the Bronco's coming off that 304 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: big win against us. How much to be reading to that. 305 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: But we know what they can do when they're at 306 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: their best. Melbourne no Jerome Hughes went and played a 307 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: paramount of team on the rise, got the job done. 308 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: Wasn't pretty, but it was always going to be clunky 309 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: with no Jerome new Halves pairing Wi shout at seven 310 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: monthster trying to work out that combination. It's a hard 311 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: one to know who's going to win, how much they're 312 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: going to win by You know everyone's going to tip 313 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: Melbourne most likely. But if Brisbane turn up and Melbourne 314 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: don't evolve or improve from last week, they can win. 315 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: Brisbane can win. 316 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 8: I'll lose, as what you're saying, if they play like 317 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 8: they did last week, I think they'll lose. They need 318 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 8: to be better than what they were last week. The 319 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 8: storm Brisbane win okay, I think just want to be 320 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 8: a huge It wouldn't be a huge effort and I 321 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 8: think you look at the size that are in the 322 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 8: premiership race at the moment. I think these two have 323 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 8: the most improvement in them. But we've seen Penrith. I 324 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 8: know they got away with one of the titles, but 325 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 8: I think the last month they've started to hit their straps. 326 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 8: Canberra and canterbur and the Warriors have produced what they've 327 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 8: produced this year. I think these two sides have the 328 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 8: most upside in the last month of the season. 329 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 7: We are taking Melbourne for granted in that we think, oh, well, 330 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 7: they've been there the gold standard of excellence, that they're 331 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 7: going to finish top four. They'll probably finished top two, 332 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 7: they'll just they'll be right for the finals. We haven't 333 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 7: seen them Big four faring and all Similars probably since 334 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 7: they thought the Tigers, and that's about two months ago. 335 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: We're going to find out a lot about both of 336 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: these teams. And it's tomorrow night on Fox League Now. 337 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: I haven't clearly has spoken for the first time since 338 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: the Roll revealed their punishment for the trainer incident. Take 339 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: a look. 340 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 11: Look, I think the punishment's pretty heavy. Yeah, particularly for Corey. 341 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 11: I think his suspension is the biggest of anyone in 342 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 11: the NL this year. His penalty is based on some 343 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 11: other things like that there's no justice system in the 344 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 11: world that I think that's a little harsh, And since 345 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 11: I've seen it, it doesn't changed my view one bit. 346 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a clearly a mistake. 347 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 11: It's the first time in four years that Corey has 348 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 11: actually even run that line, because his job is to 349 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 11: stay with the team after after the goal has been 350 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 11: kicked or missed or whatever. I don't know the numbers 351 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 11: of other clubs either, so I don't know where that stands. 352 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 11: The obviously made a decision. Yeah, I mean, whether that's 353 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 11: been influenced by all the you know, the hysteria around 354 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 11: it this week, that's probably up for them to work out. 355 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: I haven't maintains it was an accident, and you know, 356 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: Gordon and I have been pretty strong on this on 357 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: the show. Watching that press conference, I don't know if 358 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: it's a moment of weakness, but I started feeling sorry 359 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: for the trainer. You know, I watched it earlier and I'm. 360 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 6: Like, it's like there's two in the tackle. 361 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 5: Who do you blame to the five weeks feels that 362 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 5: bad Ivan if you called him back, you have the 363 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 5: five weeks off and just let him train and run 364 00:15:59,680 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 5: the work. 365 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: He genuinely feel sorry for him when listening to that, 366 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: especially on Monday, when you're hammered, as I always do. 367 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: I told it how I see it changed my opinion 368 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: on the incident, But you still think you did it 369 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: on purpose? No, No, No, I didn't. I've never said 370 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: he did it, so they said he's the dumbest trainer 371 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: in the league, or he did it on purpose? Is 372 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: no really in between? For me, it's one or the other. 373 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 4: He's had a brain fade. 374 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 8: I seriously do I agree with, fortunately agree with what 375 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 8: READI said on Monday night. It is it is he 376 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 8: gets hammered a lot. Reader, But I agree with what 377 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 8: he said. 378 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 6: What did you say? 379 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 8: Well, he said his mind was It's clear that for mine, 380 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 8: it's a clear accident. No one is deliberately deliberately going 381 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 8: to do that. I just don't think in this day 382 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 8: and age, you're not because you're never going to get 383 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 8: away with. 384 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 3: It, right, It's not like they they didn't get away 385 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 3: with it. 386 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 4: How did they get away with it? 387 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 6: Fifty thousand dollars? 388 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: Fine play, they got away with it. 389 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 8: They pulled up and had another conversion attempt, right Like, 390 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 8: obviously that's not I do. 391 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 4: But I didn't get away with it. Kicked. It's not 392 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 4: like Jaden Campbell kicked the as he was running through them, didn't. 393 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 3: Get he had the shits, Jaden. 394 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 7: There's a reason they ad the kicker in the NFL 395 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 7: and call a time out for that exact response. 396 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: And there's a good point you make. 397 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 8: There should be a rule in place that if that 398 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 8: ever happens again, it's a potential a point try. 399 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 4: Right for sure? 400 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 7: You know, I found this to be the most offensive 401 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 7: thing about for the last week is that the NRL 402 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 7: didn't come out immediately on the Monday morning and say, right, 403 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 7: all right. 404 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: There's a loophole. 405 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: We're closing it as of this moment. 406 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 7: If a kicker is interfered with by a trainer, by 407 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 7: a ball boy, by someone on the bench throwing a 408 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 7: water bottle, someone not part of the thirdeen players, it 409 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 7: is either an automatic goal kick in front, whatever it is. 410 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 7: They can close out tomorrow. Right, this could happen again 411 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 7: tomorrow night. It could be twenty two. All the other 412 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 7: thing I found, can I get into this if. 413 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 5: Yours's going to win, it's not going to happen, but 414 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 5: just hear me out because it doesn't happen. But if 415 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 5: it happened at any other club and they didn't have 416 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 5: prior and they didn't wet balls, and they didn't stop. 417 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 8: The game and their games in bars way, more like 418 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 8: that's a deliberate offense, right that should have been a 419 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 8: five game penal, not this. 420 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: See this is where a lot of people speak because 421 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: you're you clearly don't think it was actually delivered. A 422 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: lot of people, I don't know a lot of people agree, 423 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: so I'm not dismissing that. But then the ones that 424 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people think it was intentional, and then 425 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: you know it's bad, you know it's formed doing that. 426 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 7: Well, it was the punishment too harsh or no punishment 427 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 7: was a typical anal punishment looks big. It's a wet 428 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 7: letters because fifty that's a wild shook for a month 429 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 7: at penwth leagues. 430 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 3: It pays out. 431 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: The money does not matter. 432 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 4: It does matter the train of the miss five games. 433 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 7: You don't think he'll be well as much as I 434 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 7: felt sorry for during that press conference, Unfortunately, he deserves 435 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 7: to be honest games because that was amazing. 436 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 5: If to get it out like general, what the game's 437 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 5: harder those seriously, the game's hard enough without and players 438 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 5: should be deciding it right, so we get up referees 439 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 5: do it and whether it did and I don't think 440 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 5: that that cost the Titans like other game because we 441 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 5: had our opportunities, but it denied him the opportunity to 442 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 5: think and Jaden Campbell's reaction, as I said before, is 443 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 5: perfect because he's such a cool kid that plays off 444 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 5: the cuff and loves his footy, and for him to 445 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 5: react like that, that's why I'm going. 446 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 3: The way I'm with your meat. I think it was 447 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: accidental as well. His reactions seemed too genuine for me. 448 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 7: But I found the NRL yesterday fascinating in going back 449 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 7: to the six incidents, so they basically said this is systematic, 450 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 7: whereas we're sort of umming and ring. Are these just 451 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 7: a series of odd events? They're going no, No, this 452 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 7: is six incidents going back to twenty twenty one. Then 453 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 7: the fifty thousand is irrelevant. It should have been something again, 454 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 7: a suspended sentence. You do this again because we think 455 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 7: you're doing this on purpose, is basically what the NRL 456 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 7: is saying. Will take points off you, We'll take a 457 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 7: game off you. And Lordie, they're the ones that said 458 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 7: we think this has gone on too long. They are 459 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 7: the ones that said six incantents in five years, whereas 460 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 7: all of the rest of us are thinking, geez, maybe 461 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 7: this bloke just had a bad man. 462 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: Let's move on from the poor trainer me. Some breaking 463 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: news out of South Sydney. What have you got for us? 464 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, big news out of South Sydney today.

This is 468 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 8: what Wayne had to say to us today. So huge 469 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 8: news out of there.

But Mark Ellison definitely would you want to 477 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 4: own it? Bro Mark? 478 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: Someone has to accountability in everything that we all do. 479 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 10: Well. 480 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 8: Mark Ellison flew to England to get the deal done right, 481 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 8: He flew over there to sign Lewis Dodd last year. 482 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 8: Jason Demetro, you know, news broke three days later. Jason 483 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 8: Demetro was sacked. Whether or not he and you didn't 484 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 8: know he did? 485 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 4: He? 486 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 8: I think he was aware very late in the peace 487 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 8: he was already gone. He was gone, right, So he 488 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 8: was aware lad in the peace, Blake solely, the chief executive, 489 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 8: was obviously across it. The question mark remains, was Wayne 490 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 8: across it. That's the only one that's up. 491 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 4: In the air at the moment. 492 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 6: You would think he would have been asked. 493 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: Or he was already done before he got there. That's 494 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: the you know, that's that's that's the one that's. 495 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: I just can't get my head around how Blake solely 496 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: Mark Ellison and the ones flying to England to sign 497 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: a premiere half for your club without the permission of 498 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: a coach. I can't get my head. 499 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 6: It's not the first club to make a decision. But 500 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 6: who do you think? Who do you think made it? Then? 501 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: Oh, Cordio, you know, well, the fact of the matter 502 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: is is that l O and and Blaker got their 503 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: hands all over it. 504 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 6: It's just whether had one fingerprint on it. 505 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 3: That's the only question. Did Wayne sign off on this 506 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: or make everyone? 507 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 7: But I mean it's all well, I'm going to say 508 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 7: he's free to go, but they're going to have to 509 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 7: supplement his income by the next two years, so it's 510 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 7: going to still come out of there. 511 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, because there's a lot to unpack, you right, Like 512 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 8: the fact that he's only played six games, the fact 513 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 8: that he hasn't played hardly any footy with Cody Walker, Latroll, 514 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 8: Mitchell cam Murray. That makes a halfbacks job completely different, right. 515 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 8: I feel like it's a little bit premature to label 516 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 8: this kid, it's flying all the way over from England, 517 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 8: not up to NRL standard, Like the fact that he 518 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 8: just hasn't had a genuine opportunity to wear that number 519 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 8: seven jersey week in. 520 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 5: Which do you find out whether they're up to NRL standard? 521 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 5: Not complete in the full game? Did you say sixty 522 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 5: eight minutes? 523 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 8: He played sixty eight minutes and the number seven Jerseys 524 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 8: played a little bit of minutes. 525 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: That's not even a full game. Sounding too harsh. Everything 526 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: I heard out of you said it on the show, 527 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: I said it before they even played a game. I said. 528 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: Everything I've heard out of the Super League, from coaches, 529 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: players over there, and even recruitment back here, is that 530 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: there's four or five better candidates that could be better 531 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: in our game. Maybe he lay and he was shopped 532 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: around here before even bought him. So you know, if 533 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: you did di diligence, you know. I think there's just 534 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: some accountability that needs to be taken there now, bunnies, 535 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: they're dropping on flyers. There's not more players going. 536 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 4: Well there, there's a lot. 537 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 8: So there's a couple that left training early yesterday, Gay Arrow, 538 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 8: Jamie Humphries and you and Aiken. 539 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 4: Looks like you and Aiken won't play against the Titans. 540 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 8: Humphries and Arrow look like they're in a better situation, 541 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 8: but they're scrambling at the moments. 542 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 4: How syney like. 543 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 8: They're just dropping about Latrell. Latrell's got a fitness test tomorrow, 544 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 8: hopefully he can play. Yeah, he trained on got through 545 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 8: that trains on Thursday. 546 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 6: If he gets through that hopefully. What do you mean 547 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 6: if I've heard like the run him out of gas. 548 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: I've heard Reggie the Rabbits playing half back and Wayne's. 549 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 4: They picked everyone else except for Luis, so maybe Reggie 550 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 4: gets a joke. 551 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's even funny. It's that it is. 552 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 8: I've never seen any like more like this and not 553 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 8: I think they had thirty something percent of their cap 554 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 8: available available. 555 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 4: That's eight million dollars on the sideline last week. That's 556 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 4: it's unheard of. 557 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: A heifer. 558 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 3: Did they go down at Heffron? 559 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: Not all of them want to come down through games 560 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 4: and Jack White and suspended and a few things like that. 561 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: But Wayne's fighting to avoid the wooden spoon. Are we 562 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: shocked as to how this season is? 563 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 6: Yeah? 564 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely with the injuries. I think Cam Murray probably 565 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 5: probably shocked with the injuries. But normally, and I know 566 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 5: Wayne and normally a Wayne Bennett coach side compeaches really hard, 567 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 5: they win against the odds, no give up, and the 568 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 5: way that they sort of falling apart, and it's just 569 00:24:58,720 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 5: I think I am shocked. And if you went to 570 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 5: every South fan, they wouldn't believe that they'd be in 571 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 5: this position. 572 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 7: No way, broth what position would they if they reasonable 573 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 7: run of luck? 574 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 3: Injuries obviously, but the same run as everyone else. Is 575 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 3: that a top eight roster? 576 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: I think it's right on the edge of the I 577 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: think it is. I think that's sneaking. Do I actually 578 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: think if they get everyone back on board next year 579 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: and no injuries that they make the eight? You know, 580 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 1: I'm not knowing it before, I wouldn't think, but definitely eight. 581 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 8: It's not a Premiership when you roster, but it's the 582 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 8: top eight one and who as I said before the 583 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 8: fact that not only are the injuries, they've got a 584 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 8: lot of them, that happening to their best players, their 585 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 8: highest paid players, and suspensions to their high players, right like, 586 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 8: it's you look at that side on paper and it's 587 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 8: not up to NRL standard, right, So when you sit 588 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 8: down and go, are you surprised by it? Of course, 589 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 8: no one predicted them to be last at the start 590 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 8: of the year, but when you look at that side 591 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 8: that they're trotting out now, I'm not surprised by their 592 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 8: week to week results at the moment, it's cool. 593 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: Worse, right, the NL have handed out fines to Tigers players. Mick, 594 00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: what's the latest with this? 595 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 8: Well, just one time player has been hit with a fine. 596 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 8: None of these boys that were celebrating on the field 597 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 8: have been hit. 598 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 6: So the boys in the heat of the moment, nothing. 599 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 4: Warning warning from the NRL. 600 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 8: Brent Naden, whose video circulated post game with some swearing 601 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 8: and of course the famous actions, You've nailed it. 602 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: Now, God, I'm okay with this. 603 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 4: So he's caught the fine couple. 604 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: He made it ten times worse. The whole situation with 605 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: his Instagram whatever it was post that night. But I'm 606 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: okay with this, totally. 607 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 8: What do you going, I'm totally okay with it, Like 608 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 8: this is what the rivalry now that's set up between 609 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 8: the Tigers and Canterbury. The fans are going to go 610 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 8: at it. Everyone's going to go at it. I've got 611 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 8: no issue with it whatsoever. The fact that they've been warning, 612 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 8: like you don't want it to happen, right, let's fine warning, 613 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 8: move on. Brent Naden cops a little bit of a 614 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 8: fine for his misdemeanor play on Boodogs. 615 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,239 Speaker 5: Fans are vocal. They're in your face, they're in your 616 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 5: grilla lot. You know they went there, we were. It 617 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 5: was noisy, Dan. I think it was a reaction like 618 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 5: we build it up, say what about this rivalry? To 619 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 5: get there, support your team with the players. Hopefully they 620 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 5: don't do it again and they've learned their lesson. But 621 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 5: I was okay with it in the heat of the battle. 622 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 3: Excellent response from the NRL formal warning. It's all that. 623 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 7: Just don't inside a crowd, that's all it is. I'm 624 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 7: going to be honest, I have no idea what it means. 625 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 7: Every time I hear someone talk about it or read 626 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 7: something about it. I'm more confused at the end of 627 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 7: it than we're at the start of it. So I 628 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 7: don't know if it's up yours or refew or if 629 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 7: it's a. 630 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: Term of the Lebanese community. Are confused because I keep 631 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: hearing from my Lebanese friends that it is not a 632 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: big deal. It is not a big deal, and then 633 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: you hear from some others that are highly offended and 634 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: they say it's a big deal. So if they don't, 635 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be on the same page anyway. Dragon's 636 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: captain Klint Garthinson is relieved after their win last week, 637 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: saying it was brewing for a while. 638 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 6: It's probably been browin. 639 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 9: We've put a good six seven weeks together the last 640 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 9: a couple of months, and we've fallen short a couple 641 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 9: of times. And probably the only game was sort of 642 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 9: in and out of was the Cowboys game. Every other 643 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 9: game will close at the seventy and eightieth minute, and 644 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 9: we knew that a win was coming. We just had 645 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 9: to keep playing the style we wanted to and yeah, 646 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 9: we're lucky. 647 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: Enough was on the weekend, Josh Kurz on the Casper 648 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: coming back to the club. 649 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 9: Look, he's playing great up there and he has been 650 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 9: for a long time, so I'm not too sure what's 651 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 9: happened there, but if he was to come back would 652 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 9: be a great time. 653 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: Yes, So relieves Clint Gunson and Dragons who have lost 654 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: so many close games this year but found a way 655 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: to win against the Raiders, the tabletopping Raiders in Woollongong 656 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: on the weekend, and boy did they deserve it. And 657 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: it was a really good performance by them, wasn't it. 658 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they have deserved it, Braith, because as 659 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,479 Speaker 8: Gotho alluded to, they've been except for that North Queensland performance, 660 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 8: They've been in and around games they've lost by such 661 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 8: small margins and you know, they're getting a lot out 662 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 8: of a roster that's not really a top eight roster 663 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 8: either at the moment. So they're competing, they're playing for 664 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 8: each other and at this stage of the year, with 665 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 8: where they're at, there's some of the things that you 666 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 8: want to see. 667 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 7: They will be the only team that's knocked off Canberra 668 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 7: and Melbourne. They might be the only team that's done 669 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 7: the double. I'm sure someone will correct me. Yeah, this 670 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 7: season will be defined by close losses. Right, Eleven of 671 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 7: their nine eren games decided by six or lists. But 672 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 7: that can't be an excuse because that is a skill 673 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 7: to win those close games. The reason Canbra's top of 674 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 7: the table because they win all those most of those 675 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 7: close games. I lost this one, but that was a rarity, 676 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 7: and that's that's one of the issues that they have 677 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 7: going forward as down. 678 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: A lot of us been based around game management, and 679 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: they got that right on the weekend. Their King game 680 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: with their halves kicking game in the second half was 681 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 1: the best buy a long way for their whole year, 682 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: and it made the difference. That was the difference. 683 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 6: What do you think, Yeah, well exactly Raiders. 684 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 5: But Raiders were going to have this sort of performance, 685 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 5: but the Dragon they have been super competitive but just 686 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 5: lacked in those key moments. They've got the key moments, right, 687 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 5: but the Raiders, you know, they've been sort of sneaking 688 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 5: away last month and I thought we picked a ready 689 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 5: for the picking. 690 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, we're sitting there all right. 691 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: Responsibly, Dan Joan as your key player matchup for around 692 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: twenty three thanks to Ossie Broadband.
