1 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: We I'm doing L three sixty Rugby League from every angle, 2 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: brought to you by NIV. Joining me again the great 3 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: Gordon Tallas. Let's been the journators straight in Paul Crawley 4 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: and Dean Richie. Tonight's Telstra top story, Brian talk explodes. 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: Now this has set the rumor mill a light in 6 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: the NRL. Rumors are there's been tweets, there's been denials 7 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: that Brian to or is not happy at the Panthers. 8 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: I think it may be in terms of the money 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: he's on, but this is running wild now. We've heard 10 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: this probably a couple of weeks ago. We thought it 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: was just rumors, but it seems to have picked up 12 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: some traction. Gordy thoughts on this. 13 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: Not the first player ever to go into a REP 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: camp and you and you start hearing the rumors of 15 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: what people are on. He's got a couple of mates 16 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: that have gone to the dogs and they would have 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: just sat there and towed the fat with obviously Lomax, 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: you know, with the prices that go on now and 19 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: it all gets put in a paper, maybe he's decided 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: that he's better than that that maybe. 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 3: That's the male going around. 22 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: What is that first, let's get these stray calls. What 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: is the actual mail that the. 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: House going around? 25 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 4: Is what Gordy alluded to that he's gone into camp 26 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 4: and there's been a bit of talk about what other 27 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: players earn and what he earns, and the fact that 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 4: he is the game's best winger and he may or 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 4: he may not depending on who you believe, see it 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 4: as he's being underpaid. And there's been six Pan Panthers 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 4: players in recent years, you know, you think about it, 32 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 4: that have gone to different. 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: Clubs for more money. 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: Crichton, Luway Tour of Us going, James Fisher, Harris who 35 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: loss has gone, kick out Burton. They've all gone for 36 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 4: bigger money. This guy's won three on his way to 37 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: four premierships and perhaps he might be looking at what's 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 4: out there. The problem is he's got a contract until 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 4: the end of twenty twenty seven that he signed in 40 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 4: good faith and Matt Cameron, the boss of the football 41 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 4: out there at Penrith, has come out and said that 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 4: he's not being shopped around and he won't be going anywhere, 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 4: which should be where the story ends. 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: But we're all here and we know. 45 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 4: Rugby league and we know a contract doesn't mean anything 46 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: if a player agitates to get out. 47 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: So I guess we have to wait and see. 48 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 4: We haven't heard from Brian on this at this point 49 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 4: in time, so you know this is just a rumor 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 4: at this stage. But yes, it's caught fire, certainly. Gordy's right. 51 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 4: They go into camp, these players and they talk about 52 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 4: endorsements and match payments, money, all sorts, every element of 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 4: the game they talk about, and when they get back 54 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: to their clubs they realize that they're being underdone, undercooked, underpaid, 55 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 4: and then they start to get a bit agitated. And 56 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 4: I think Too has gone into camp spoken to a 57 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: few players. Well, I know he has, and he's on 58 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 4: six twenty Bryant, but is he worth more? Others are 59 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 4: getting more money inside that Blues can That's the question. 60 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: He is on six to twenty five, six hundred and 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: twenty five. Listen, I think he's worth more. What do 62 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: you guys think he's worth? 63 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 4: Of course he's worth more. Look if you look at 64 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 4: what some of the other players earn. He's the best 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 4: winger in the game. He's worth more. But he signed 66 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 4: a contract in good faith, you know what I mean? 67 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 4: And I know go both ways clubs do it to players. Clubs, 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 4: you know, get disappointed in players and they start shopping 69 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: them around. But look, if he had a problem with 70 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: what he was earning, maybe he should have spoken about 71 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 4: that during negotiations, like that's that's where it should stay. 72 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: I really you lose faith in the contract system in 73 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: the NRL these. 74 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 4: Days because we all know that it's not worth the 75 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: paper it's written on. If someone wants to agitate, there 76 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: are ways out. You know, there's supposed to be rules 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 4: in place where rival clubs aren't allowed to talk, and 78 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 4: we all know that it happens. 79 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: Well, how do you fix it? 80 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 3: How do you fix it? 81 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 4: The NRL comes out and says, if you sign a contract, 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: you complete the contract. Let's hey, it's not hard to 83 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: fix a Contract's a contract. 84 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: Two parties go into it. 85 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: And if the NRL was to stand up and say, well, 86 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: we're not going to have it anymore and put some 87 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: proper guidelines there to stop this happening, you could stop it. 88 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: He shouldn't even be talking to anyone else. 89 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: We don't know where that he is break how the 90 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 4: game work. 91 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: If he hadn't spoken to anyone else, or if anyone 92 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: from his camp hadn't spoken to anyone else. This wouldn't 93 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: be a think. 94 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: No, I went through it in the everybody's wage was 95 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: put in the paper, right and it was ancient. There 96 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: was jealousy and everybody's talking about on who's on what. 97 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: I was on a tour with a couple of Broncos. 98 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: They found out they rang weighing on my phone. I 99 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: think I'm still trying to pay that bill back in 100 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 2: the day. So like there were two players that I 101 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: played with that heard and come back and do it, 102 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: So I don't think you can stop it. 103 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 4: Well, there's seven Panthers who were on more money, so 104 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 4: he's the eighth highest Panther. 105 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: More than half the team were on more money than Bright. 106 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: But remember a year big part of the reason it 107 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 4: gets ninety k for origin, So that prop pluck his money. 108 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: Wells a point, right, so it's like the clubs right 109 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 2: now they can go sign the player. He was happy 110 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: to sign it, right, he was happy. He probably I 111 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: don't know who is manager, but if they shopped it around, 112 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: that was probably the best price for Brian at the time. 113 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 4: Or maybe not the best price. Maybe he decided he 114 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 4: wanted to be a part of history. And he's been 115 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: a part of his legacy. 116 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: Because what he would have done, and this is what 117 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: probably would have what pisces him off a little bit, 118 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: is that he signed for Unders because they wanted to 119 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: keep that team together. They wanted to win premierships and 120 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: they've got one to do that. Then a few of 121 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: the other guys and who left and they've left him. 122 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: But that's business, his business. 123 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: That's how they go about it. 124 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 4: Dug their own players, but they will tell FIBs to 125 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 4: keep them. 126 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: That's how it works. 127 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: He is a great player, like he is a great player. 128 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, not only is he 129 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: just a winger, he's just a winger, but what he 130 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: does at the start of the sets, he's a great finisher. 131 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: But he starts to the sets really compliment and credit 132 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: the forward pack at the Panthers and would any other 133 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: team like to get the start of a set that 134 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: he gives them, the quick play of the ball, the 135 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: elbows and these relentless He's valuable every fitness the meet 136 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: is he runs every game, the bike forward he's a. 137 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: Ford In the recent Origin series, like for all the 138 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 4: praise and they deserved it. The New South Wales pack 139 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 4: got Yes, it was it was total and Dylan Edwards 140 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: leading the back that that got them going. He's like, 141 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: he's like buying a front rower and a winner. 142 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: Start just sets. He's so powerful. I think there's only 143 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 2: one going in Origin that's got more meters and that 144 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: might be Wendell Saylor. And he was a big body, 145 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: so he's so he's amazing. You can only imagine most 146 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: clubs would have a look at him. 147 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: Well, but they're not allowed under the rules. 148 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: Let's just talk hypathetically. We know they're not allowed, right 149 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: and we. 150 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: Know most clubs won't have a look at him. 151 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: We know they're not allowed. We know they shouldn't even 152 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: be a conversation. But the fact of the matter is 153 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: that the rumors are running wild, and there is quite 154 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: a bit coming out of a few camps, and we 155 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: know a lot of people between all of us that 156 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: there is some talk going around hypothetically if he does, 157 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: if he does move on, I know one club that 158 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: could do with him and his mates going there next year, 159 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: the Tigers, And I know, well I don't know, but 160 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: I would think that he'd be over a million dollar 161 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: player there or close to. 162 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 4: Do you really think they pay him a million bucks. 163 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: Both the West Tigers have the money. 164 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: They just said. 165 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: You just said he's not only a winger, he's like 166 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: a front rower. 167 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 4: I can't he's a valuable Well, what are they going 168 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: to offer Stefano to stay? 169 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 3: I can't a million dollars. 170 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 4: Any winger a million bucks. He's eights I could probably 171 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 4: live with. But I mean, obviously that's with Taruva. Well 172 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 4: that's two hundred thousand more. Yeah, correct, Yeah, he's got anywhere. 173 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 4: I would assume like a bloke like that, if he 174 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 4: went to the West Tigers, he could help change their 175 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 4: entire game because the way that he can get the 176 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 4: stets sets started and teach other young glade. Well, they've 177 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: got to Riuvagun there next year too. He would be 178 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 4: outstanding for them. If they could make a deal happen. 179 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 4: I just can't believe it would happen. 180 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: He's reliable, he's not a risk or a gambling He's 181 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: one of the players in a competition. That's why he 182 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: was the first pick from his South Wales and MacGuire 183 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: wanted him in his side because he's relentless, he's consistent 184 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: and he plays at an elite level every week and 185 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: He's a big reason why Penrith have been successful for 186 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: as long as they have. So you would you would 187 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: pay overs for him. Often in the past, the Tigers 188 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: and other clubs that are struggling payovers four players that 189 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: are not his level, but you do it for a 190 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: player that is of his caliber. 191 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: He's six twenty five, right, he gets ninety for Origin, 192 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: takes him to say seven to ten. They'd have to 193 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 4: pay nine hundred to get him out of the club. 194 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 4: He's not going to go for seven fifty or eight hundred, 195 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 4: is he. He'd want nine hundred and he can still 196 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: play Origin from the West Tigers too, but he runs 197 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 4: that risk though, Well, I don't know. 198 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: I'll tell you another club a matter. You go there to. 199 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: There another player that's it's not contracted, go there to 200 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 4: Your career does tend to slide, doesn't it. 201 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: Let's be honest. Look at Happy, look at Happy. 202 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: Well, Appy is a very good case in point because 203 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 4: he's nearly been the best hooker in the competition of 204 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: him completely missed the Origin series. The Bulldogs of the 205 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 4: other club like that. Josh had a kars Off contract 206 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: at the end of next year. He's on what around 207 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 4: six hundred thousand if you believe what the reports are. 208 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 3: So where's this story, kumpom? Do we think which is it? 209 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 4: It came out of origin, mate, But is it a 210 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 4: club also behind it? Is there any agitation from a club? 211 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: Is it someone trying to destabilize Penrith? Where do we 212 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: think it's actually? 213 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: What? 214 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: Is it Brian from camp? Or is there more to it? 215 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: That's a That's a really good point because the concern 216 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 4: for Penrith would be at this stage of the season. 217 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: I've seen it happen a thousand times. Players who are 218 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 4: off contract at the end of the year and you're 219 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 4: coming towards the pointy end, big end of season games, 220 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 4: and their mind gets taken away way into contract negotiations 221 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 4: and suddenly their form falls off a cliff. And that 222 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 4: would have to be a concern for the Panthers right now. 223 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: That's why they'd want to get out there and nip 224 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 4: this in the bud, because it could be ongoing and 225 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 4: fester into the big end of season games and he's 226 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: so crucial to that team. 227 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: I can't, for the life of me see the Pendith 228 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: Panthers letting Brian to or go. Now, the West Tiger's 229 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: CEO Shane Richardson has addressed Stefana utay Kimani's decision to 230 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: leave the club, saying he didn't expect him to stay. 231 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 5: He said it was going and then and then he 232 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 5: sort of wasing to staying, and then he was going. 233 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 5: And that's where we go in the time to go 234 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 5: out there and get it finished. We made it more 235 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 5: than a reasonable from I think probably too much of 236 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 5: it off for a lot of ways. But at the 237 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 5: end of the day, I always resigned that he was 238 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 5: going to leave, because you always do when it takes 239 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 5: this long. And so we've had plans in the background, 240 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 5: taking our time to spend the money and as I said, 241 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 5: but we've got to have a two million dollars now 242 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,479 Speaker 5: and kiddy, so we'll be very dangerous. 243 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: In the market. 244 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 5: But Stefano wanted to go on to try and win 245 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 5: a premiership next year and he'll go to a club 246 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 5: that he thinks can do it that way we went 247 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 5: at club, so I wish him and his. 248 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: Family the best. 249 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 5: We could be that club though it could be well 250 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 5: second year of Penrith, but we and see, I'd rather 251 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 5: just yeah stop. 252 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: It, yeah positive thinking there from richer second year at Penrifth. 253 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: Second year at the Tigers could be in a premiership. 254 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: But just going back, we are laughing forcross That wasn't 255 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: supposed to be a joke. This is not a commed issue, 256 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: you know what. I kind of like the Tigers. We've 257 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: been everyone's been critical of their signings, right, And he 258 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense there in a way that 259 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: it's a lot of money for Stefano and the clubs 260 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: that are taking him, who are premier well in the 261 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: hunt for him, are premier clubs who can afford to 262 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: pay that money because they're in a position to whereas 263 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: the Tigers if they didn't get offer him more, which 264 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: is what they usually would have done, and he stays 265 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: there and doesn't reach his potential. Again where he saying, well, 266 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: they've paid overs for the kid he hadn't proven himself, 267 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. 268 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're sitting on the board at the Tigers 269 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: and you're part of that deal, they've paid overs for 270 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: Luke Brooks, right, And if I'm sitting there, I say, 271 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: we don't pay overs for any more players. If they 272 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: don't want to be here, we don't do it. And 273 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: I think it's the first line in the sand that 274 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 2: the tigers, right, so we all know that it's a 275 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 2: bit of a basket case. But they turn that club around. 276 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: They can't overpay. You've got to come to the Tigers 277 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: because of the vision. So they've got to get all. 278 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 3: Which I just did a minute ago. 279 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 4: The club was to pay a little bit over spinning 280 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: it his way. But the Tigers sound like they went 281 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 4: too bad. Now we've got two million to spend. Well, 282 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 4: you just tried to send a million and you couldn't. 283 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: But going up, they could have went to one point two. 284 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: They could have just got a big gun. Usually done that. 285 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: That's what the big And they didn't like. 286 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: Tricky on cruels because you're not wrong, I mean you 287 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: just they needed to stop somewhere at Stefano. 288 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 3: They didn't stop break he walked out on them. They 289 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: were prepared to go well, they went up to eight hundred. 290 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: Thousand, willing to go high though, well I think. 291 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 3: Eight hundreds high enough, isn't it. How much more do 292 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 3: you want to give the umbo? 293 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but they could have in the past. 294 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 3: But you're suggesting that they pulled that he walked away 295 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 3: from them. 296 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: Of course he's getting less to go somewhere else because 297 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: but the big problem cause coming back to you. And 298 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: this is where Gordy and I what we're saying is 299 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: is maybe a bit wrong because there's no one to buy. So, yeah, 300 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: you freed the cap up for what you're. 301 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 3: Going to have to pay overs. 302 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 4: The Tigers are look, let's be fair, income they're heading 303 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 4: towards another wooden spoon three in a row, is it? 304 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 4: They paid one point two million for Jerome lu Why 305 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 4: every player that goes there is getting paid overs. They 306 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 4: were prepared to pay overs to keep their own. Richo's 307 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 4: standing there and he's saying, you know, this puts us 308 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 4: in a great position. It doesn't really, because he's just 309 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 4: missed out on the guy they wanted to keep. 310 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: But to the side feeds like, are they going to 311 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: be on the market. You look at the paramatter on 312 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: the market. 313 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: He's going to have to pay overs out of that 314 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 4: two minutes to get anyone to go to the West 315 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 4: Tigers because no one wants to go there for market bad. 316 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 4: I thought it was also a little bit rich of 317 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 4: rich oh, after Stefano had made his decision to say, 318 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: well that's okay, we want guys here who want to 319 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: be here for the fight, like he's been overseas trying 320 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 4: to shop players around, Like what's good for the Goose 321 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 4: is good for the gander. And if the club wants 322 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 4: to push players out early, and they've done it with 323 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 4: other players, you can't have it both ways. You know, 324 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 4: Stefano was gone to look after after himself because he 325 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: wants to win premierships. 326 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it had anything to do with wanting 327 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: to fight. I think Stefano was fighting every week who's 328 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: fighting and losing battle? Now I'm hearing Stefan you Toy Kamana. 329 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: Everything I'm hearing coming out of Bulldogs and people close 330 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: to the club is that he's going there. But that's 331 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. But I've also know that Melbourne is 332 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: still confident. Have we heard any more on that end? 333 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: Will we get an announcement this Friday? Buzz said it 334 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: last night on the show. Buzz was pretty sure that 335 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: his information was like mine and saying he's going on 336 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: the Dogs. 337 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 4: I was told today that if it was fifty to 338 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 4: fifty on Monday, by today it's now sixty forty seventy 339 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 4: thirty toward the Bulldogs. I think it's firming very quickly. 340 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 4: He wants to planner Craig Bellamy. He's got a massive 341 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: admiration for Bellamy and he thinks Bellamy can take him to. 342 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: The ceiling that he deserves. 343 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 4: But his family, He's got a young boy and his partner, 344 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 4: have a great support system here in Sydney and she 345 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 4: wants to stay. 346 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: So I would imagine in the end he will end 347 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: up staying. 348 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: What the Boss says goes essentially broth. 349 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 3: You know it works. 350 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: I had a bit of a laugh last week when 351 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 4: we were talking about this on Tuesday Night Break and 352 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 4: right at the end of it year through. 353 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: In Oh the Bulldogs have been mentioned. 354 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 3: Anyway, we'll go to back. 355 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: You know more than you. 356 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: I just remember that as I was sitting here last week. 357 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: Honestly in my head I was computing it and I'm like, 358 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: I think he's going to land there, and I'm pretty sure. 359 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: What about the smoky with Penrithin they've lost Fisher, Harrison Lean, 360 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: that's a good point. 361 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Have they made a player? Why haven't they? If have 362 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: they made a play and if not, why not? 363 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 4: I haven't heard that they've made a play for Stefano. No, 364 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 4: I've just done the assumption that the cat feller is 365 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 4: coming off the bench and do an outstand, you know, 366 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 4: like it's not Jane Fisher Harris. But they're pretty well served, 367 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 4: aren't they for young Ford's powerhouse. 368 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: Do you just think though Stefano has that premiership in 369 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: mind and that's. 370 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: What he wants to go for feed which was similar price. 371 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 3: I guess. 372 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 4: I guess the issue is with the Panthers too, with 373 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 4: the young props that they do have and where they 374 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 4: are placed alongside Stefano. With Stefano worth even seven hundred 375 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 4: compared to what the Panthers are probably paying their younger 376 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 4: props at the moment. 377 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 3: Who would be discerning of. 378 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: Don't need to pay over is the getting No is 379 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: they don't need him as much as the other clubs 380 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: probably do. Now at Gordy the captaincy comments about Adam Reynolds, 381 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: they've blown up overnight. 382 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just our chat about Brisbane and it's 383 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: not about Adam. It's about like I played at Brisbe 384 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: when Elf come back and he didn't want the captain sy. 385 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: I think it can relieve you captain and the Broncos' 386 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: that's a pretty big seat and like and I felt 387 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 2: the pressure. You look at Remaney this year at the Dogs, right, 388 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: I think his forms a lot better and then some 389 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: people handle the sea a bit better. I think Adam's 390 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 2: last eighteen months of footy would probably be better. So just 391 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: enjoying it, not sitting there like at the press conferences, 392 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: like there's a lot of pressure on him to be 393 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: the next do on Langa, to be the Darren Lockeye 394 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: had to put a trophy in the trophy cabinet there 395 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: in Brisbane. I just think if he hands it to 396 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: a young Paddy Carrigan or someone like that, I think 397 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: that they're ready in fantasy. 398 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 4: To put in context what you did say last night, 399 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 4: you guys were talking about the broncos diabolical effort on 400 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 4: the weekend and the fact that they needed a leader's 401 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 4: stand up and he didn't stand up, and I thought 402 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 4: to myself watching it, I thought, look, Adam's been out 403 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 4: for what eight ten weeks. First game back against New 404 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 4: car will completely change the dynamics of that team. Yes, 405 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 4: he didn't. No one at the Broncos had a good 406 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 4: game on the weekend, But I didn't think the reason 407 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 4: the Broncos was so comprehensively beaten was the lack of 408 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 4: their number seven not standing up and leading from the front. 409 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: When you get to an age and your injury prone 410 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: and you need leadership. And let's say that Adam's a 411 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: little bit injury prone. Is he doesn't play every week, 412 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 2: so you want your leader out there most times, and 413 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: you want him out there and some lead by actions, 414 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: some lead by words. I question. 415 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 4: I'm not questioning the fact that perhaps that may be 416 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 4: the way they gave going for you, They've got pretty 417 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 4: good value out of him, Gordon, he's on about seven 418 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 4: brand made. If he was playing every game every week 419 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 4: and he wasn't his body wasn't letting him down it 420 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 4: a little bit more, he'd probably be on one. 421 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: Do you think they could get the same value out 422 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: of him without the sea beside his name? 423 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 4: I do, I do, But I think the bigger picture 424 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 4: bigger picture, and I think a lot of Broncos fans 425 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 4: would probably agree at the moment that if you're going 426 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 4: to question Adam, you need to question other parts of 427 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 4: the club. 428 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: And I know, look, you're. 429 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 4: Great mates with Kevy and he did a wonderful job 430 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 4: last year, but the Broncos are a club that demands winning. 431 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 4: We sat there. You sat there last night talking about 432 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 4: the influence Cameron Serraldo has had on the Bulldogs and 433 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 4: how he's changed the way that those players are performing 434 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 4: every week and the effort. 435 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: That they're someone Cameron some might say. 436 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 4: They might say, but last night the conversation Ado and 437 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 4: I thought on the weekend, Gordy, what was also obvious 438 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 4: was that Serroaldo coached out coach Kevy on the weekend. 439 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: There was also comments from Cooper Cronk and malmon Inger 440 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 4: late on Saturday night after Kevy's press conferences, which kind 441 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 4: of I sat there and listened to, and I thought 442 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 4: they made mention of the fact that they think that 443 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 4: the Broncos have gone into this season and perhaps not 444 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 4: trained hard enough, They're not fit enough, like they're not 445 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 4: one hundred percent. They might have gone down a couple 446 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 4: of percent in areas well. In my view, that that 447 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 4: all comes back. It's not just the players, it's the 448 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 4: whole structure of the competition. 449 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 3: I'd be shocked. 450 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 4: I wouldn't think that Kevy is any chance of losing 451 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 4: his job in the immediate future, but I would think 452 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 4: down the track, Gordy as club a club as powerful 453 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 4: as the Broncos. There would have to be serious questions 454 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 4: from his bosses if they're getting in the right direction. 455 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: I get. I get Sydney looks at Brisbane as still 456 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 2: the powerhouse and they were so powerful. Every kid and 457 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 2: queens they wanted to play for them. Well, now I'm 458 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: from Towns and I'd play for the Cowboys. The kids 459 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: in rock Hampton through they're probably going to go play 460 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: for the Dolphins. So Titans are starting to get guys 461 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: wanting to stay there. There used to be one team 462 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: for all the queens and now there's four, so they're 463 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: not as powerful as what you think. I know, I 464 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: was still a big brand. 465 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 4: They are, they're the biggest brands, but there's all these 466 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 4: third party sponsorships for different the star roster mate I 467 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 4: still I've got a supersoar there and they're underperforming. 468 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: I have no doubt. But then in years gone by 469 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 2: they would have kept you know, the Flegglers and the 470 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: farm Worths and all those guys, and they don't keep 471 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: them anymore. Like they go and then for FEEDA would 472 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: still be there. But there are the Titans. Everybody eats 473 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 2: send to them. 474 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 4: I might a couple of calls today around those comments 475 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 4: that you made last night, and there's no insinuation inside 476 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 4: the Broncos. 477 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 3: That Adam Reynolds. No wait for of course you did. 478 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 4: But there is a theory though that if Adam thinks 479 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 4: it would be best for the Broncos, he would be 480 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 4: happy to stand down. 481 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 3: He's got precious he's not selfish. 482 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 4: If they went to Adam and said Adam, we think 483 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 4: it would work better with Pat. 484 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 3: Carrigan people, I can't reveal the show. 485 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 2: He was better sources than me. 486 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 4: But I'm just saying I don't think Adam would have 487 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 4: a problem in standing down from the car. 488 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: But it's getting a bit blown out of proportion. I 489 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: said this about Gutherson, but my name is probably not 490 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: Nathan hein Marsha and I didn't play for para matter. 491 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: But I think sometimes it just relieves the pressure on you. 492 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 2: And I think Adam Reynold's going into his last year 493 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: of footy, or could be his last year of footy. 494 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: Go out there and enjoy it, don't do all the 495 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: extra stuff that you've got to do as a Broncos 496 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: captain and just hand them mate. 497 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 3: You're entitled to your view, you really are. You're You're a. 498 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 2: Former brother Adam. Adam can prove me wrong too. 499 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's true. 500 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 4: But I do think that there is a feeling out there, 501 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: and I certainly believe it's true that Kevy does get 502 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 4: a little bit protected by the old boys because he's 503 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 4: one of you. So we should, I know we should. 504 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 4: But that's why he gets. 505 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 2: Of course, I'm sure there has got protected by the 506 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 2: old boys your club. I'm sure Nick Polite. 507 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 4: Would be asking one answered, that's what you want. You 508 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 4: have to look at the whole picture, not just part 509 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 4: of the picture. 510 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: I'll make sure I get my magnifye class. 511 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: Let's move on, Crawls. I'll come back to you on 512 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: this one. You want too. Impressed with Cody Walker's performance 513 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: on the weekend. 514 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 4: I haven't been impressed with Cody for a few weeks now. 515 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: I thought the week earlier against the Tigers, there were 516 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 4: some real concerns about some of his defensive efforts. 517 00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: Look, Cody's been a great. 518 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 4: Player for a long time for South Sydney, and he 519 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 4: is playing with injuries this year. I understand he's had 520 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 4: an ongoing calf injury. He might have a ribs problem. 521 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 4: But I guess where I'm going on this is that 522 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 4: Cody's thirty four years of age, and I reckon he's 523 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 4: off contract at the end of next year. We've seen 524 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 4: previously what happened with Adam Reynolds, we saw what happened 525 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 4: with Damian Cook, and I just think that this could 526 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 4: become Wayne's biggest challenge going forward is to decide where 527 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 4: Cody's future will be at that club. Will he get better? 528 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 4: Can he get the past Cody Walker out of him again? 529 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 3: Next year? And beyond that? 530 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 4: Because Cody has spoken previously about the fact that he 531 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 4: has no plans of retiring at this stage. He said 532 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 4: at the start of this year he would love to 533 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 4: think that he could play through to thirty eight thirty 534 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 4: nine years of age. And I just wonder us South 535 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 4: Sydney going to go forward in the long term and 536 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 4: win a pre his ship with the way Cody's played 537 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 4: in recent times. 538 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: What do you guys think about him? 539 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 2: I think some of you Wayne would have to change 540 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: his whole DNA coaching. I know that he's got a circle. 541 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: So when you're young, he's really hard on you, well, 542 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 2: like am I really hard? When you get to twenty 543 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: three to twenty seven, twenty eight, you're in his group. 544 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: You're in his gang, then he starts riding you a 545 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: bit harder as an old guy because you're the leader 546 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 2: and you've got to keep on leading these young kids. 547 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: He's sacked Wally Laws so he's so he's made some 548 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: really big decisions. Elf went over to England. So with 549 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 2: Cody Walker, if he doesn't want to pay the price, 550 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: Wayne will move him on. 551 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 3: And it's just. 552 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: As simple, as much as as much as Cody struggling. 553 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: And to be fair, the weekend wasn't goodaders Souse. 554 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 2: Need him, they need him, but Ody. 555 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 3: Needs Latrell too. 556 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 4: Can we at least touch for sure, been a massive 557 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 4: distraction for Cody this year that he hasn't had his 558 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 4: great mate with him when they're together, their magic without 559 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 4: one the other struggles. 560 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 2: Cody struggle, Cody's football week No, we're also a question 561 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: and whether at that age whether he wants to keep 562 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: on paying the price because the NRL and we look 563 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: with the playmakers make we look at hard as you 564 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 2: look at the state of origin. How they get to 565 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 2: the playmakers now they're under the pump like Noah. 566 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 4: And they do say that Cody trains as hard as 567 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 4: anyone you know, like they say he's putting in this year, 568 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 4: you know, beyond the call of duty with his injuries. 569 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: I just I just wonder, though. You see the clubs 570 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 3: like Kenrith and the Roosters. 571 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 4: In Melbourne and that, and how they're charging forward, and 572 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 4: I just wonder if Cody's body is up to that 573 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 4: long term, like he's thirty four. 574 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 3: I think we're riding him off to early. I really do. 575 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 4: We're not writing him off, which are saying that They 576 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: were saying that he has indicated he wants to play 577 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 4: to thirty eight, thirty nine and on recent form, and 578 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 4: I know he's got the injuries that are there, but 579 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 4: on recent form, Doggie, you'd have to question if sous 580 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 4: can win a premiership going. 581 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 3: It's not forgetting that early was twenty six. 582 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 4: He does it a few years at the back end 583 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 4: of his career that he didn't have at the front end. 584 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: The clubs pay you to get your body into a 585 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: certain state so you can play thirty weeks of food 586 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 2: at your level. They don't pay you to play, they 587 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 2: pay you to get yourself into a mindset. 588 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 4: So whether Cody went a bit like the Guthherson story 589 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year. 590 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 2: We're saying South were lazy and they didn't work hard enough, 591 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 2: and now we're saying that they're okay, they got to 592 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: work hard. 593 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 4: And when Gutherson came through at Paramata, what was twenty sixteen, 594 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 4: he was what twenty one, twenty years of age. He 595 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 4: went across to look for that opportunity to play fullback, 596 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 4: and now he's at the back end of his career 597 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: and the question is can paramounta game? Like Trent Barrett 598 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 4: said last week, it's disrespectful. Now, it's just commentary on 599 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 4: rugby league is what it is. And it's the same 600 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 4: situation with Cody there. You look at their situation and 601 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 4: you wonder if that is going to make them a 602 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 4: better team long term, given the indication that he wants 603 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 4: to play long term. 604 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: I think they're really relying on Wayne getting the best 605 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: out of not only Cody, but a few other players there. 606 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: And if Wayne can sprinkles magic dust, then you know 607 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: there are a big chances of coming back next year. 608 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: It's time to take a look at the big inns 609 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: and ou it's around twenty two or thanks to the 610 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: tab barn who returns for the Roosters. From that hand, injury. 611 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: Murray also returns from two games suspension for the Bunnies. 612 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: Fisher Harris out with that Goroin injury. Hastings dropped Crossland 613 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: to play half back, Crichton n At a car return 614 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: for the Dogs after that big win against the Broncos 615 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: and Josh Papa Lee to play three hundredth game for 616 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: the Canbra Raiders. Congratulations with Josh, that's a big one. 617 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: But what's going on with Hastings. What's the latest with him? 618 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a stranger and it's the second time this 619 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 4: year Brave he has been dropped. Phoenix Crosslan will play 620 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 4: in the halves this week. 621 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 3: I think Newcastle just looking for a bit more spark, 622 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 3: a bit more energy. But where it. 623 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 4: Leaves Jackson Hastings is now a big question mark. He'll 624 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 4: go back and play stress free in New South Wales Cup, 625 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 4: but I just get the feeling that he might not 626 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 4: be back again this year. 627 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: But he's been in and now it's been a bit 628 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: of a. 629 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 3: Got dropped after round two from memory around. 630 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: Three is his NERL career. 631 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 4: Well, there was rumors around this morning he was going 632 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 4: to potentially end up at Leeds. There's been a few 633 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 4: inquiries made about that and at the moment that's proving incorrect. 634 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 4: But where they smoke, there's fire. Do Newcastle warn him 635 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 4: he's got another year to go. There's always been that 636 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 4: little bit of friction around Jackson. I think the other 637 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 4: question there with Jackson too is that he has another 638 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 4: year to go on his contract. 639 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 3: My understanding is he's not keen. 640 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 4: To go back to England and if the club was 641 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 4: to try and move him on, where could they move 642 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 4: him on in the NRL? That would be the difficulty. 643 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 4: You know, you've got a young guy. This guy spoke 644 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 4: about him last night, Pezzant, who's a Newcastle junior or 645 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 4: he may have come from the Central Coast I think, 646 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 4: But anyway you manage him, you know. 647 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 3: But he's a. 648 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 4: Great player and if there was a way of getting 649 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 4: him up there, well then you'd have to. Thinks the 650 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 4: Knights haves in recent times. Mate, they just haven't fired 651 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: all year. Adam O'Brien swapped and changed the whole season. 652 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 4: They're still in the hunt for the finals, but it's 653 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 4: just not working. There's no question that the club would 654 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: have to be looking at possibilities like Pezzant or whoever 655 00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: else may come up. 656 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 3: But the problem they'll have too is. 657 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 4: Would someone like that want to go to the Newcastle 658 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 4: given where that club seems to be at at the moment. 659 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of the young hars would 660 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: sort of back themselves and there's a bit of a 661 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: long jam at Melbourne. Is there a chance for the 662 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: young guys to put their hand up and say breath? 663 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: I mean there's some part of you that goes, I 664 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: think I'm good enough. I think I've done my apprenticeship 665 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: and that's what Presidant and all those young guys have 666 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: to realize. And whatever club gets you, you're not going 667 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 2: to get Panith. So you don't walk into the big 668 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 2: clubs like you don't. 669 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 3: No, you don't. And he's got what he's got. 670 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 4: Hughes there for another season after that monster's there. Tyrone 671 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 4: Wishard's come through and has proven himself to be more 672 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 4: than NRL player Pappenhausen's off contract. Young Flag has signed 673 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 4: for five years at the end of the day. Pezzit 674 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: has shown coming through the grades. He was what the 675 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 4: man of the match two years ago in the nineties. 676 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 4: He's a sensational young player. But the door looks pretty 677 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 4: pretty well shut. 678 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 3: On him at Melbourne. 679 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 4: He'd have to be thinking of opportunities, but would the 680 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 4: opportunity be the night? So I don't know how old 681 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 4: do these. 682 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 3: Kids want to be before they want to play first grade. 683 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 4: In the old days, regularly you'd be twenty three, twenty four, 684 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 4: and you'd be ready now eight a nineteen. They have 685 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 4: this self entitlement that they want to play first grade 686 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 4: at Melbourne, whether you're like it or not. If they're 687 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 4: behind some of the superstars, they're getting professional treatment, they're 688 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 4: knowing how to work in a system, they're knowing how 689 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 4: to keep their body as well, and when they do. 690 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 3: Go, they are going as ready made and a ural player. 691 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: So to be fair there on Jonah, I wasn't mean, 692 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: I know you weren't. Just to give you some background there. 693 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: He went to Melbourne for a reason, and that was 694 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: to be in that system under the Bellamy and the 695 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: tutorage of not only him but the other staff and 696 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: the players, and to learn his trade from them. And 697 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: he's been very patient. He's still willing to be patient, 698 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: and Melbourne do want to retain him there at the club. 699 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: So I mean it's all speculation and it's all good 700 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: and role that Newcastle are interested, but right now he's 701 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: very happy there and he's the old professional that is 702 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: not driven by the door, so there'll be decisions. 703 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 4: The other part to this story to going forward is 704 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 4: if he was to stay and see out the remainder 705 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 4: or even signing new contract in Melbourne. When's the twenty 706 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 4: team competition planned twenty twenty seven, twenty eight, Well this 707 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 4: is and with all these senior halfbacks coming off contract 708 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 4: like some opportunity. 709 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: What's this space like? And we're going to talk about that, 710 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: I think a little later with the three new teams 711 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: supposedly coming in a few years time and the lack 712 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: of halves, and we'll get there. But anyway, time for 713 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: dog treats. 714 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 2: Dog have you? 715 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: What have you got for it? 716 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: What have you got lover? 717 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 4: I've written a story all tomorrow under bulldog by about 718 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 4: I'm throw the dog of Baron.
