1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: The term iceman, first made famous by the character played 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: by Val Kilma in the nineteen eighty six film Top Gun, 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: and it's Goose who says to Maverick as a reason 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: for the moniker, it's the way he flies ie cold, 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: no mistakes, And one may wonder how someone might become 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: that way, unflappable, unaffected by occasional stakes, the person who 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: raises their hand and accepts the moments that truly matter. 8 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: Nathan Cleary is that man. 9 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: And if you scratch just beneath the surface, there are 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: reasons and answers to why this old man is about 11 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: as level headed, calm and modest. 12 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 3: As they come. 13 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 4: Family from the touch line, it looks good. 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: Nathan in that way is his father's son. 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 4: The trait is inherited. 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: He is. He's the iceman, born with a temperament to 17 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: look down the barrel of big occasions and process the 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: responsibility he has to turn them his way to win. 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: Minutes to go, seconds to go, no time on the clock, 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: Give me the ball. He's now played in four Grand 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: finals in a row and won three. 22 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: But perhaps what he did last year in the final. 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: Twenty minutes best epitomizes what and who he is in 24 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: the game, in this moment. There is no more dominant player, 25 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: no one who has his hands on the ball more, 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: no one who commands the respective every player, coach, critic 27 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: and fair. 28 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 4: It is rarefied air. 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: To live in that space, a place most will never experience, 30 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: an environment built to inflate and twist an ego out 31 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: of shape. Nathan clearly is constant and level. 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: His method never. 33 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: Changes, his choices always considered, and his executions seldom without results. 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: What a season. 35 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: The finals are imminent, September is almost upon us, and 36 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: the air gets warmer, sun hotter. 37 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 4: But Nathan Cleary will not thaw. 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: He will stay as he always does. 39 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: Hath together Nathan Cleary. What a player? What a superstar? 40 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: Hello and welcome to n O three sixty O Beliegue 41 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 4: from Every Angle, brought to you by NIV Joining me 42 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 4: again the great Gordon tallis growth. That's been the journal 43 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 4: Australian James Hooper and Michael Carriyanas Now we just saw 44 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: some highlights from Nathan Cleary and breaking news today he 45 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 4: may have a new Halves partner, the Paramounter Eels announcing 46 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 4: the blaze Tar Langey, We're not so much as Para Eels, 47 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: but he's management telling the Paramount Eels that Blaze Tarla 48 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 4: is leaving the club at season's end and most likely 49 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 4: will join the Penneth Panthers. 50 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: Gordy Well, it's good news for the Panthers. 51 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 5: I always thought that he wanted to play fullback and 52 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 5: Guthson was going to move. He's a young talent. We 53 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 5: watched him make his the bill against mainly run over 54 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 5: Tommy and scored, so he's a great young athlete. But 55 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 5: he wanted to go to another club. I feel a 56 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 5: bit sorry for Parim Jason Rowles moving into that seat. 57 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: The sky's fallen in at Paramatta break. It's a shocking 58 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: case of mismanagement. They've been played off a break by 59 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: Isaac Moses player options and they're the one club at 60 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: the moment who seems to have really gone down this road. 61 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: And it's not just Blaze to Lungeon, it's also Mitchell Moses, 62 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: it's also Will Pennasini. They're all big name and superstar 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 2: players in their back line, but for whatever reason, they've 64 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: allowed them to put those clauses in their contracts and 65 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: it's bit in Paramata where it hurts well. 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: We've been saying for a while that they can't let 67 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: him go. They just can't let this young gun whiz 68 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 4: kid go. He's got so much potential. But he's been 69 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 4: agitating for months now. I Mick, and we've been hearing 70 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 4: that Isaac Moses had been talking to other clubs. Newcastle 71 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 4: were interested at one point. The Dragons have been interested 72 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 4: as well. But I don't think any of us thought 73 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: this was going to happen or so quick, but it has. 74 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, he'll join Penrith next year for three years. It's 75 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 6: a three year deal from next season. And the reason 76 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 6: the Panthers haven't released anything yet is the fact that 77 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 6: the Eels haven't waived the ten day cooling off period. 78 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 6: So the Eels obviously put out a statement to make 79 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 6: it clear that Blaze won't be at the club next year, 80 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 6: but they haven't, you know which in the case of 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 6: bad blood obviously there between the parties haven't waived the 82 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 6: ten day cooling off period, so don't expect anything formal 83 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 6: from the Panthers until then. They might come out and 84 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 6: say yes, but it's in that period, but he'll be 85 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 6: there for the next three years. But you're right, the 86 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 6: Dolphins with the other side that were circling in him 87 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 6: as well, So the Dolphins, the Dragons, the Panthers and 88 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 6: Paramatter with ken to Keaton, Paramata wanted him, make no 89 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 6: doubt about it. They offered him the fullback position, and 90 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 6: I think Blade Blaze was probably a little bit reluctant 91 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 6: to walk in and take over from Clink Utherson and 92 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 6: push clink Utherson to one side. 93 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 4: Why did Blaze leave and why did his agent want 94 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 4: him out of the club? And also can you explain 95 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 4: to the viewers the clauses and how they come about. 96 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: Genius play from the Panthers to begin with, for them 97 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: to see that Blaze clearly was unsettled and unhappy at Paramatter, 98 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: do their homework, do their due diligence. So I think 99 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: in a likelihood it will be a package deal. They'll 100 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: sign his younger brother writer who's recently been picked in 101 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: the Australians. I'll tell you so, Paramatta right in their 102 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: wisdom in recent times, since Shawn maclduff's boned, the chairman 103 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: and Jim Sarantonos has been in the CEO have decided 104 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: that when they sit down and negotiate contracts, they let 105 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 2: these options or clauses get into the contracts, which means 106 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: that when it comes to a set season, in Blazer's case, 107 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: it's this year twenty twenty four, Well, he has until 108 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,119 Speaker 2: round ten or round eleven to take up an option 109 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 2: for next year, or if he doesn't, all he's free 110 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: to go. Now why you would do that when you've 111 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: got a local young gun junior. He was part of 112 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: their SG ball premiership winning side last year. They've now 113 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: lost their three best local juniors from the SG ball 114 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: premiership winning team of last year. They're all spine players 115 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: and they're all going else. 116 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 4: Sweet, that's a disgrace. I mean, I don't have much 117 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: to do with Paramatta. I don't know anyone out there, 118 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: but they've got such a big breeding ground out there 119 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 4: of young players. They've win an SG Ball last year, 120 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 4: they lose three of their spine from that SG ball team. 121 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 4: They can't contain or maintain those players at that club, 122 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 4: and they put clauses in their contract to give them 123 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 4: an option of If I'm a Paramatta fan, I'm filthy, 124 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 4: and I'm. 125 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 5: Talking about week clubs. But it's like week leadership clubs 126 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 5: always put the clauses in. Is there a chance that 127 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 5: the nr EL steps in and they don't register these 128 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 5: sort of contracts. 129 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: I'd be surprised, Gordon. I understand where you're coming from, 130 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: and it's a very fair and valid point, but I 131 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: don't think that they will. The managers certainly love those 132 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: clauses because it allows them wiggle room to go and agitate. 133 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: But year one hundred percent, like what's been laid bare 134 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: for everyone to see in this case with Blaze to 135 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: Lungey is the lack of Rugby League IQ at the 136 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: absolute top of Paramatta. Make no mistake, the chairman and 137 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: the CEO who secretly went and met with Wayne Bennett 138 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: were never a chance of signing him. 139 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 3: Right. 140 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: They have put a red pen through Paramatta's season. It's 141 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: been a complete right off because of their decisions. Imagine 142 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 2: the morale Gordon, amongst the playing group at the moment 143 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: they You've got the best young kid leaving right. Other 144 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: blakes are getting tapped. 145 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 5: On the experience have been tapped on the SELD. 146 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: I think they've won one game since Brad Arthur was sacked. 147 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 7: And it's obviously Blair of Jason Rolls. 148 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 8: Right. 149 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 6: Jason Roll's first big task was trying to keep to 150 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 6: obviously negotiations were advanced by the time he came into 151 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 6: the role, but you know he's met with the kid. 152 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 6: Is obviously offered him the potential to play fullback. 153 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 4: And I know you make a good point, right, but 154 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 4: I can't see this being Jason's I want to stick 155 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 4: it up for him because we've been talking about this 156 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: for months, so we know what Isaac mass is like 157 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 4: as an agent, and he's been working on this for 158 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 4: a long time. This deal has been done. He was 159 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 4: going a long time ago, but well before. 160 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 5: When you get those clauses, you got one like you've 161 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 5: got the money here and if it doesn't work out, 162 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 5: you stay there. You editate, but there must have been 163 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 5: a deal. 164 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: It's unfair to blame Jason Rowles. Jack Gibson always said 165 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: that winning starts in the front office. He was bang 166 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: on right, and Jack won through premierships with the Yels. 167 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 4: If you look at. 168 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: The way that they're doing things and the fact that 169 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what this is only the beginning of 170 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: how bad it could get. A paramountic Mitchell Moses is 171 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: got a clause. I think it'll be gone. I can't 172 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: see He's thirty in September right, he's managed by the 173 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: same Blakers plays to Lungey's managed by So. 174 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: You're saying that this could happen to Paramatter and their 175 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 4: fans in another year or two because Moses has the 176 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: same similar clause. 177 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: Mitchell's got the same clause. Let's talk next year. Next year, 178 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: Dylan Brown's got the same clause and says Will Panasceni 179 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: and Panaceni is Will Perasni as well. 180 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: So when they go most likely terrible next year. And 181 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 4: that's no disrespect the roles because I feel sorry for 182 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: him what he's walking into here. But they've gone ordinary 183 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 4: this year. They're losing key players again, tar Langi, one 184 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 4: of them. Moses then plays next year, wins Origin Series 185 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 4: and he starts thinking, well, hang on, my time's running out. 186 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 4: I want to win a premiership. I've got this clause, 187 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 4: let's execute it. The Bulldogs need a seven, Broncos may 188 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 4: need a seven. Who knows a club in a strong position, 189 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 4: with strong board members, who can potentially win a club. 190 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 4: And we're going to be doing this same conversation about 191 00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 4: one of the best players in. 192 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: The one hundred percent bang on. And this is where 193 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: you've got to tip your hat to the Panthers the 194 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: way that they have set the club up. We know 195 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: how successful they are on the field, but there now 196 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: the benchmark off the field for them to identify that. 197 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 2: They know that Jerome Lew was leaving at the end 198 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: of the season. We all thought that in all likelihood 199 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 2: to be Jack cole But they go and see Blaze too, Lungy. 200 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: They do their homework. He came through as a fullback 201 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: and a five eight. It's a genius play from Penrith 202 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 2: and it just underlines and it would be horrible for 203 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: paramount of members and fans to have to stomach that 204 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: they're bitter arch rivals. Paramatta used to be the Kings 205 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: of the West. Mate. Right now they're not even in 206 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: the conversation. The Panthers are an absolute goliath and Paramatta 207 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: are on the floor. 208 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 4: A big carrot too. I was actually having lunch today 209 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 4: with Joey John's when the news come through and we 210 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 4: had a conversation about this. Were thinking, Okay, Blaze to Lungey, 211 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: he's going to the Panthers five eight partners with Nathan Cleary. 212 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 4: That's a fair carrot for a young gun like Blaze 213 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 4: who has played in the halves in the lowell grades 214 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: at Paramouna to then join the best him from the 215 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 4: competition at the best club in the competition. This could 216 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 4: be a formidable combination. 217 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 6: We look at if he stayed at Paramatta, he's throwing 218 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 6: the king in Clint Outherson shifted him out and the 219 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 6: sportlight's on him. He goes to Penrith, he's playing with 220 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 6: Dylan Edwards's playing with his I, he's playing with Nathan Clear. 221 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 6: The sportlight's not on him and he's only nineteen years 222 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 6: of age. So to get out of that spotlight, that 223 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 6: furnace and to go to Penrith and potentially playing the halves. Look, 224 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 6: it's not guarantee that he's going to play the halves right, 225 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 6: either be at center or halves next year, but there 226 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 6: is a strong possibility there. 227 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: But I had Coga there at one point and he 228 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: made him look like an absolute superstar. Who isn't the 229 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 4: quality of player of Blood Final they've had? Who's the 230 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 4: kid they've had this year filling So I've he went 231 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 4: to Super League come back, made him look like a superstar. 232 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 4: And you've got a young Australian schoolboy prodigy stepping in 233 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 4: next to Nathan who can. 234 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 6: Play off the cuff like Jerome does, you know, like 235 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 6: it sees and plays a little bit of ad lib 236 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 6: footy because we know how structured Yeo and Cleary and 237 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 6: Jerome's always been that perfect forward to play off the 238 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 6: cuff off the back of that. But you know, once 239 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 6: he gets out at Penrith, he won't know what's hit 240 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 6: him in terms of the preseason working with those players 241 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 6: and them upskilling him to become a season nr olpener. 242 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 4: They wonder Paramount didn't give him the colling. I've done 243 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 4: the cooling off per because. 244 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: But what bother bother there's no ways back for they're 245 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: only subjecting themselves to further embarrassing. They're a laughing stock. 246 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 4: Their arch enemy and rivals have just got their best 247 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 4: young kid. 248 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: The money talks that wouldn't honestly, Gordon, I don't think 249 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: it does talk and talks all languages, but in this case, 250 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: you think about it. If you're a nine year old 251 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: kid and you've just signed Nathan Cleary's rung out and 252 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: said I want you to come and play in the 253 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 2: halves alongside, and they all be in the seventeen you're 254 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 2: a chance of winning premierships or you want to stay 255 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: at paramatter and the rebuild that they're currently in. They're 256 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 2: in a race to the bottom with the West Tigers. 257 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 5: What do you think with all these causes the thoughts 258 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 5: of the bottom mate clubs at the moment, looks like 259 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 5: that they're feeder clubs. 260 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: Seriously, you look. 261 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 6: Like you look at Penrith' two key signs next year 262 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 6: is Papai from the West Tigers and Blade Langi, the 263 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 6: two sides towards the bottom of the at the bottom 264 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 6: of the latter. I don't think that it's fair to 265 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 6: say that their feeder sides for the top eight their good. 266 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: Some of their fans would feel like it, well. 267 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 7: Some of them wouldn't. 268 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 6: And we've seen with Penrith for the first time, they 269 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 6: haven't entered the market at the top end for a 270 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 6: long time. 271 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: Right. 272 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 6: We've seen obviously Fisher Harris leave, Taylor may not there 273 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 6: so that opened up as well. They've lost a lot 274 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 6: and the money is there for him and they've been 275 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 6: very patient and landed too big fish. 276 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 4: And what it also explains, because we were questioning why 277 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 4: Penrith hadn't gone for Stefano, maybe they had prioritized this. 278 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 4: They had this going on in the background, and that 279 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 4: was the area they wanted. 280 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 6: That's the player that I think they spent not all 281 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: of James Fisher Harris's money, but a lot of Fisher 282 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 6: Harris's money on Papelli here with the belief that either 283 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 6: Sorenson or Martin or one of those two can can 284 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 6: move into the middle. I think that's where they thought 285 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 6: that squad would be better balance than trying to find 286 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 6: a like for like replacement for Fisher Harris. 287 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 4: I could work from enough to just keep making good 288 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 4: decisions out West and our trumping right bow could the 289 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 4: Eels chase Ryan Pappenhouse and Ryan Pappenhausen is a local junior. 290 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 4: I believe he grew up out Castle hillway out param 291 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: Hadaway and Jason Rowle's a new coach, coaches him in 292 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: Melbourne Roles. He's coming over If I'm Rollsey, I'm desperate 293 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 4: to get someone like him of his help at the club. 294 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 4: And he's not off until the end of next year, 295 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 4: I believe, but he can talk in November and he 296 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 4: hasn't re signed with Melbourne as yet. This has to 297 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 4: be a number one priority. If for me it would 298 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 4: be what do you guys think. 299 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 7: Well, it has to be. 300 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 6: He would have to be the number one priority because 301 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 6: in Aklint Gutherson, you know, there's a suggestion that they're 302 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 6: going to move in regardless depending on how they were 303 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 6: going to move him, if play stayed and push him 304 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 6: to the centers or have a raiming role, whatever the 305 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 6: case may be. His time at fullback has probably come 306 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 6: into an end. And what paramounta need now we saw 307 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 6: it was Clamox. 308 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 7: They need a big kill. 309 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 6: They need someone that's going to spark that side, to 310 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 6: give their fans some hope, to give that side some hope, 311 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 6: and to land Papenhausen would be a marquee signing for him. 312 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: And if there are any chance to keep their seven 313 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 3: and six. 314 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean it strengthens zeal You've got Brown 315 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 4: and Moses and Housing out of the back. That's a 316 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 4: good spine. 317 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: It's outstanding. I just get the feeling rooting the two 318 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 2: leaves that it might be a bit of a smother 319 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: to try and soften the blow of that they're just 320 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: the best local kid in the last ten years walk 321 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: out the pot. It's lose, loose talk. It's loose talk. 322 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: No one's confirmed it Bulldog. Richie's obviously gone with it 323 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: today all frog a Bulldogs both, So Bulldog's go on 324 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: that today. Look, I'm not saying they won't have a crack. 325 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: If I'm on Papa House and I reckon, I want 326 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: to try and win more comps. I'm not sure given 327 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: where power are at at the moment, that it's the 328 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: best destination he'll have. If he goes to November one 329 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: and he's on the Open market, he's going to have 330 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: his pick of the board. He can basically get them 331 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: whichever club he likes.

I'll get what 391 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: were you're getting to, Mick. I think he got his 392 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: head turned in New South Wales origin camp in the 393 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 2: Blue Mountains. I don't know who it was. He's obviously best. 394 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: He's with your own law. Somehow it's come up in 395 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: conversation that you know, would you consider maybe going to 396 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 2: West Tigers. I don't know how. I don't know why 397 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: anyone would want to go there at this point. 398 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 4: Can't understand. Well, it's obviously that the free Compson he 399 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 4: wants to go to the West Tigles. 400 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: He's probably going to win four. Of course, it's going 401 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: to have an element of money. 402 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 4: I think this is if. 403 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 5: He hasn't been started, he left, he left your mates 404 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 5: to go play. 405 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 6: If he's on six hundred and fifty K, how much 406 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 6: do you really I heard you guys say that I 407 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 6: think he could be a million dollar player. I reckon, 408 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 6: get Josh, No one is offering on six fifty next year. 409 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 7: That is the benchmark for the best wingers in the game. 410 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 4: Four. He could get nine hundred the West hundred thousand dollars. 411 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 6: They're making the same mistakes that they've made for the last. 412 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 4: I haven't They've never bought a Brian to Or for 413 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 4: nine hundred thousand dollars to watch him play foot watch. 414 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 6: Him play, and I think he's paid as the highest 415 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 6: paid winger in the game, which is at six fifty. 416 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 4: You don't think I would not pay He's the most 417 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: consistent player I have consistent. 418 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 7: He's a very good not knocking Bryan, But. 419 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 4: I'm trying to explain why I think he's working. He's 420 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 4: an extra forward as well as our winger. 421 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 5: But what bet if we sell it here like this, 422 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 5: he's going to go there to play fullback. 423 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 6: You want to you want to compare, You want to 424 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 6: compare the others that are on big money. Zach Lomax 425 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 6: signed as a fullback, Nick Katrick signed as they are 426 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 6: the guys on signed as a center, right, So that's why. 427 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 4: Ryan more consistent than Zach Lomax his career. Every other word, 428 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 4: is it a gamble or a risk risk paying over 429 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 4: for a player like to all? 430 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 7: But I'm not going to nine hundred? 431 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 4: But is it a gamble? 432 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: Or what if your West Tiger's there where they're at 433 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: they need, they need a circuit breaker. They've got your own, 434 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 2: they've got to river. But another circle backer, Brian could 435 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: completely transform that club. 436 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 4: I would, and he would. 437 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: About money, No, I don't think it is all about 438 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: day right. I think that he's got his head turning camp. Look, 439 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: the key thing is he hasn't been shopped. Nobody shopped him. 440 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: I think it just come out of Blakes in state 441 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 2: of origin. 442 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 3: Camp. 443 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: We've seen this happen before they all talk. They're all 444 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: discussed and salaries and whatever else is going might want 445 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: to go. 446 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 6: Where the four people that were his groomsmen at his wedding, 447 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 6: Spencer Lenums, Stephen Kreyer. 448 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 4: Are different different They've all left left lacause if he 449 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 4: doesn't have a close bond that team. You watch him 450 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 4: when they score trys. They all love each other out there. 451 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 4: That's why they are as successful as they are there. 452 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 4: They're they're his best mates. But when you win a premiership, 453 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 4: there's a special bond between all of them. I know it, 454 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 4: and you know it too, Gordy, he's not his mates 455 00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 4: with all of them out there. 456 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: We've all seen how close and Jerome Leuia, I just 457 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 2: get the feeling as they're reading. No, no, I'm not 458 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: saying that's the sole reason, right, but I am saying 459 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: we've all seen how close they are. Jerome was the 460 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: best man at his wedding. I get the feeling as 461 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 2: they must have had some sort of conversation. I think 462 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: it'll all come to a head in the next twenty 463 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 2: four hours. 464 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: Yea, it happened. 465 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 4: I'll tell you what will happen.

And now his decision 503 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 8: to leave is about him wanting to explore himself and 504 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 8: find better pastures. We get that, and you know, we 505 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 8: made it pretty clear that if you didn't want to 506 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 8: be here. 507 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 7: That's why Richard came out the other day and said 508 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 7: they want players in for the fight. 509 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 3: What exactly does that mean? 510 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 6: To expand on that, I have to ask Richie, he 511 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 6: said it, you teased the final has been in for 512 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 6: the Flint though, LUs all is that he's been playing. 513 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, so what you're saying words in my mouth, asking well, 514 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 8: that's probably a question for RICHI. 515 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 4: Oh, interesting, Okay, let's get Rich on the line. 516 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: Now Rich is in the crocodile right, He's still in 517 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 2: the crocodile roll and the crocodile right. 518 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 4: Taking from that that Benji doesn't agree with Rich I 519 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 4: on that call. 520 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: I think Benji was just deflecting and I didn't want. 521 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 6: To answer a hard question with I didn't want to 522 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 6: get either either his boss or the player that he's 523 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 6: got to coach for the next uble. I think he 524 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 6: handled it Tyson. Jackson was asking the good questions there, 525 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 6: but I think he handled it as well as he could. 526 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 7: What's he going to say? 527 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 6: It's a no win situation there for Benji either death right, 528 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 6: your boss or the player that you're trying to keep 529 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 6: some sort of lose Harminar with. 530 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 7: Yeah, So it was a tough one for him. 531 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: It has been a tough one. While Benji has defended 532 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 4: the players who missed the team bus in New Zealand. 533 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 3: Tell you look and you came out yesterday. 534 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 8: A couple of the younger Blacks missed the bus because 535 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 8: I'm taking care of obviously their teammates. 536 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 7: What's it like obviously to have that morale with the 537 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 7: boys that they're are so committed to. 538 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 8: I guess, yeah, Well, it's a lot's been probably made 539 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 8: of it, and probably a negative light. But those guys 540 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 8: made an honest mistake. They stepped through their alarm, turned 541 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 8: it off, and from our point of view, we're dealing 542 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 8: with it internally. 543 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 7: The truth is the bus driver had to go. 544 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 8: He couldn't wait any longer, and they wouldn't have missed 545 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 8: the bus because they are two minutes after us, and 546 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 8: so we had to leave the bus behind them. They 547 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 8: actually got to the airport before us, so it was 548 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 8: my call for the bus to go. I'm not sticking 549 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 8: up for those guys and saying it's right. But if 550 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 8: they're out on the drink and missing the bus because 551 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 8: those reasons, it's a different story. 552 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 4: But that's not the case. Face loose, they lose. 553 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 3: They must fast bit hard. 554 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 5: Is that that real early flight out like that, you 555 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 5: know the one where you get up about three o'clock 556 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 5: us the time to get on that five or so, they. 557 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 4: Must have had a fast imag drive I ain't got 558 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 4: there before. 559 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 3: Them, or slow bus drive hurry? Now? 560 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 4: Is this let's let's be serious. 561 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 7: Is this is this is a big deal or not 562 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 7: not for mine, not in isolation. 563 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 6: If we're just looking and breaking it down and looking 564 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 6: at these as three young players eighteen Luke Low Lily 565 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 6: Lucky Galvin and Talon de Silver with the three players 566 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 6: at eighteen nineteen years of age. So it's you know, 567 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 6: they're all in a room together because Luke apparently had 568 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 6: a back concussion. They all spent the night together in 569 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 6: the one room, three of them, three of them in 570 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 6: the one room. 571 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 5: You guys, But like one thing, this is, this is 572 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 5: what's hard to believe young kids these days. 573 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 3: Isn't there fun attached to them? 574 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 6: Well, they had the phone, apparently one of them hit 575 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 6: the snooze button, had one phone, one of them set 576 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 6: the alant look. 577 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 2: And I'm not shooting holes in the yard. 578 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 4: I fine. 579 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: It sounds like a little bit of a snow White 580 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 2: and the Seven Dwarfs fairy tale. It's not a crime 581 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 2: of the Center, it's not a crime of the Central 582 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: only stretch. But I know other clubs. I'm thinking of 583 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 2: the Melbourne Storm. I'm thinking of Penrith. If you miss 584 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: the bus, well you getting dropped for the following week. 585 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 2: I know where the Tigers are. 586 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 7: At eighteen or nineteen year olds, right, I. 587 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 4: Learn your lesson to be taught, you've got to be 588 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 4: taught your less I mean like I can't, I can't 589 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 4: bind again. I don't think this is a massive deal. 590 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 4: And they are young, and you know, I don't want 591 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 4: to it's one hemer. But these things here, mobile phones, 592 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 4: like we all use them as alarms. There's anyone there's 593 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 4: three kids or three guys, three footy players need to 594 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 4: use the one hotel alarm. 595 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 5: From the get up, I think it's and like, this 596 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 5: is nothing. I've caught enough busses. Everybody's on the bus 597 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 5: with five to go, Like that's a thing. Like normally, 598 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 5: if you're in a good culture, everybody's on the bus 599 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 5: five to ten. Like, mate, you're always early in isolation. 600 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: It's not that much for a big deal. I reckon 601 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 2: where it feeds into a bigger piction narrative. There's a 602 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 2: beef on at the Tigers at the moment. We spoke 603 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: about it last week. John Bait has had a crack 604 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: at Benji about the fact that from his point of view, 605 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: Benji's treating the senior players like kids, and he's treating 606 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: the young guns like senior players. And this and the punishment. 607 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 2: The punishment surprise may I thought, I wonder if they 608 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 2: got five thousand dollars fine too, I don't know whatever 609 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: it'd be two thousand dollars, five thousand dollar fine. The 610 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 2: punishment was ten minutes of extras on the assault bike 611 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: and on the rower, which to me sounds pretty cruise control. 612 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 4: I know you mean setting the standards right, putting the 613 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 4: bar up here because it's been down here for too 614 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: long at the club, So I understand. But we'll see 615 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: how they handle that moving forward. The Newcastle Knights musical chairs. 616 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 4: Let's have a look at their halves combinations throughout this year. Sorry, 617 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 4: Hastings gamble, gamble, Cogger Hastings Cogger Hastings gamble, Hastings Cogger, Hastings, 618 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 4: Price Hastings gamble, Crossland gamble. And we're up to around 619 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 4: twenty one. I'm dizzy reading this out. 620 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 3: There's a big gamble then this is this is. 621 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 4: I mean, we can laugh all we want, but it's 622 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 4: a serious issue in Newcastle. 623 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 5: And well, how do you get your continuity right? How 624 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 5: do you get your teammates knowing how you play? Sometimes 625 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 5: it can take a while to get that cohesion, you 626 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 5: know when you've got to work definitely, and just understand 627 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 5: when you're tied, you're fatigued, especially defensively. You know. It's 628 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 5: it's strange. And I thought they bought Coga, didn't he 629 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 5: like he opened up? People say that he happened up 630 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 5: the Grand Final last year. I'm not a half, but 631 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 5: you know he's played great and they. 632 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 2: Bought Nathan Cleary said that. Nathan Cleary said he unlocked 633 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: me in the Grand Final last year and they specifically 634 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: went out and brought him in. Look, he hasn't played 635 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 2: a hell of a lot of nurl this season. When 636 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: you got that much instability breath in the halves, you 637 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 2: know yourself you can't have musical chairs in key positions. Well, 638 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: that's not going to lend itself to winning games and 639 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,239 Speaker 2: playing finals footy. A lot of fans are saying, well, 640 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: does that mean that there should be heat on Adam 641 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 2: O'Brien or the club when he assigned him last year 642 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: to a three deal. So I think he's trying to 643 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 2: do the best with what he's got. 644 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 4: I think we coger. I don't know you too harsh, 645 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 4: but it's one of these situations where you get a 646 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 4: player like him at a club like Penrith or even 647 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 4: Melbourne with a monster or a clearing next to you, 648 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 4: and you kind of you know, you're turning to a 649 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 4: economy a little And obviously it's a lot easier with 650 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 4: those guys inside you. It's a lot easier when you're 651 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 4: winning games every week. It's a lot easier when you've 652 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 4: got the forward pack that you've got and you're getting 653 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 4: quick played the balls and all of a sudden you've 654 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 4: got time and space. And then other clubs are looking going, well, 655 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 4: you know what, we can get some value out of him. 656 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 4: He's playing at a premier club and he's turning up 657 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 4: every week and putting in really good performances. And then 658 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 4: Newcastle have gone and paid overs for him because really 659 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 4: Coga before he went to Penrith had struggled to find 660 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 4: his spot anywhere. 661 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: Was that? 662 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd been at Newcastle before? 663 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 2: Is that the bulldogs for a while Over in the UK. 664 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: I think he's a decent player. But I think where 665 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: where the Knights are a victim of their own decisions 666 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: is they've come and brought in a new recruitment manager. 667 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of chopping and changing amongst all 668 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: key position staff there, different people at different stages have 669 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 2: had hold of the recruitment and retention signature pen and 670 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 2: so that's why they've got this liquorice all sorts roster 671 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: that Peter A. Sullivan's now trying to reshape and. 672 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 7: They haven't had Kalen for a long time. 673 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 6: Klum Ponger, right, he obviously is their attacking spark because 674 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 6: Tyson Gamble is obviously the best runner I guess in 675 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 6: time and trying to create things off the cuff. The 676 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 6: other guys are pretty structured players and without kalm Ponger 677 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 6: there's not much bluency there. 678 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we've realized now that they need more 679 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 4: than Kaalon and they've got a lot of work to 680 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 4: do in Newcastle as we just could see right there. 681 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 4: And just the quick reminder in our All three to 682 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 4: sixty will exclusively reveal the contributors, referees and coaches inducted 683 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 4: into the Hall of Fame next Tuesday and Wednesday from 684 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 4: six thirty pm.
