1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't need that, Bronson Garlic, how is How's Wayne

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Bennett goal mate? How's life Underwayne?

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Good?

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Fun?

5
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Really good.

6
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 3: I've had a couple of interactions with him, Like he's

7
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 3: not he's not overly out there and speaking to everyone.

8
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 3: But from from what I've gathered from him so far,

9
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 3: he's a very good man manager.

10
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: Yep.

11
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 3: The first day he rocked up, it was a week

12
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: end to be training, and he got around to pretty

13
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: much ever.

14
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Run in the team, and.

15
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: I was I was trying to compare him to Belli

16
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: because I know Bellier spent a lot of time with him,

17
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: and I feel like he's just, i don't know, maybe

18
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: more personable, like a bit more understanding of everyone, more empathetic.

19
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.

20
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: But hell, he's unapproachable at times, I think, but you

21
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: kind of you get that when he's spent a bit

22
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: of time with him.

23
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, he says.

24
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: A lot of interesting stories Billiac about Wayne working under

25
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Wayne and Bellier came from the Canberra system under Uns

26
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: went to Broncos and would have been early in his

27
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: coach early into retirement really a couple of years after retired,

28
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: and he was saying he was there, he was assistant coach,

29
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: but also a strength and conditioner or working on the conditioning.

30
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: Maybe not strength but conditioning. And he said the first

31
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: day he was there, and I think this sort of

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: is symbolic of the difference between Wayne and Belly. Belly

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: A said, the first day of training, he said, I've said,

34
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: of the players, right, let's get around less stretch. You know,

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: very as you said Belliate, very militant. And he said,

36
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: he's looking over and Alfie Lang is the only one

37
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: not stretching. In fact, Alfie's leaning against pick at fans,

38
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: just talking to some old bloke he's walking past. Anyway,

39
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: Belly said, he's getting more and more irritated. What's an

40
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: awf fucking fucking feeling himself? Two minutes, four minutes, six minutes,

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: he goes no, so he goes he said, I go

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: bowling over to just give it to Alfie, and Wayne

43
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: grabs him on the shoulder and says, what do you

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: think you're doing? He going to go grab Alfie? You know,

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: he goes aa, You just fucking leave him. That's what

46
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: he does. So that's that understanding of his players. He said.

47
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: What he took out of that.

48
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: Bally like, he said, is you can't treat all the

49
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: players exactly the same.

50
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: I feel like Wayne's got the playing group of I

51
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't say a playing group of misfits, but people that

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: like have left other clubs because coaches probably haven't understood

53
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: how to manage them. Like you look at someone like

54
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: David for Feeder, even Cheese to an extent from the

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: roosters like bloke shall have. Probably he gets people who

56
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: only a coach like Wayne could probably get the best

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: out of them. Yeah.

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: Well, what I've seen so far is that he's probably

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: closest to those type of blokes are training Like the

60
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: Cheese is Dave Feeder, all those blokes that have had

61
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: some maybe off field staff or what not.

62
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: Cheese bit of a bit of a laric and top logan.

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just the stuff that he comes out

64
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 3: with sometimes Wayne, and we're in the gym, o that

65
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: he walks in with his hat back with a gold chain.

66
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: I don't know where he got that from, but him,

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: he likes that.

68
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: That's a little Wayne way.

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, he likes a g up and and he probably,

70
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: like you said, like understands those those blokes that have

71
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: been through that.

72
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: So Brandon's training in the house down.

73
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: It's actually impressive to see because I spent a year

74
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: with him at Melbourne, that twenty two year, and I

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't say he was the fittest bloke or obviously had

76
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: his stuff going on.

77
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: Off the field.

78
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: But it's like, I'm proud to see him like he's fit,

79
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 3: he look he looks physically good, He's got his last

80
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: sord off the field.

81
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: It's as physically as impressive I think he's ever like.

82
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever looked as physically impressive. He

83
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: pushed a picture to his Instagram the other day with

84
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: his shirt off, and he know this is a thing.

85
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Brandon knows he looks good too, because he's I've never

86
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: seen him post so many shirtless pictures in one photo done.

87
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: He was showing me a couple of photos the day before.

88
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: He goes, what do you do with this, bro, We'll.

89
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: Check this up.

90
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Good thing about it that he hasn't lost weight to

91
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: the extent that he's lost to his natural build, like

92
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: he's still thick as thick as a brick wall. But

93
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: but but he's just fit, and the most important thing

94
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: is what he's been through and the fact that he's

95
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: found himself and he's trying to sell well. He just

96
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: so he's proud of himself. I think was essentially, which

97
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: everyone is the most important thing.

98
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: How does how does training at the Rabbits compare to

99
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: like a Melbourne type system?

100
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's difficult because I tried not to and

101
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: I was speaking to me old man about it. I

102
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: was like, how do you how do you compare Melbourne

103
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: when you get there and you and you get in

104
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: training and you want to compare this to what you're

105
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: doing at Melbourne or or what Melbourne do here whatever

106
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: it is, And I feel like it's it's very refreshing

107
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: our style of training and the scheduling of the training

108
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: like at Melbourne, as you know, like some of the

109
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: days you're not getting home till six seven o'clock in

110
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: the in the night, six seven. But and I think

111
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: it's it's Wayne' philosophy of you get then you do

112
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: your work. You're not you're not missing any reps on anything,

113
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: but you gain condemned it, yeah, condense it, and you

114
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: get under your family, which is I love it, which

115
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: is important I think like away from footy, Yeah, I.

116
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: Suppose that that that Melbourne system, like it. Obviously it works,

117
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: but I suppose when you've done it for such a

118
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: long period of time for you to be like, I

119
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: suppose you can burn out of that type of training

120
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: consistently as well. Like it's good. It's such a good

121
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: lesson at the start because it teaches you about hard

122
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: work and like how professional trains. But some for some

123
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: personalities as well, it's not achievable to do that have

124
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: a long period of time, which is why you see,

125
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: like you just said, like it's refreshing to go back

126
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: to a different scheduling, and I suppose you learn, like

127
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: there's more than one way to skin a cat, especially

128
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: in rabid league, Like people run plays a completely different way.

129
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 2: People do attack it a completely different way. Well, like

130
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: that's house.

131
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: We don't have that many meetings, but I feel like

132
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: at Melbourne you haven't six six meetings a day. Sometimes

133
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: on your big day, I feel like you're going to

134
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: the meeting and you're taking a bit more notice and

135
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: a bit more concentrate on what they're actually saying rather

136
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 3: than it just been a fish. Yeah, exactly, clips on

137
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: clips on clips, And I'm not saying that's a bad

138
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: thing because I flourished under that or I like that

139
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: style of thing.

140
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: But as I said, it's refreshing. How's how's Dave been

141
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: going there? Really? I saw a video of him and

142
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: Latrell wrestling the other day on the beach to Big Bulls.

143
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: Was scary.

144
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: Start those two blow Latrell and Dave in the gym.

145
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: They're they're strong, strong men and you know what Melbourne

146
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: shout out the dan to Pascal. But it's very he's

147
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: very individualized the programming of the gym. So here it's

148
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: a different, different solo gym and everyone works together. Everyone

149
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: sees what people are squatting and benching, and it's all

150
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: done with your speeds on the camera or whatever. And

151
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: you stand there watching these bloats in there. They're squatting,

152
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: they're squtting big. I feel what would he squats?

153
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: He's a powerful man, I think he.

154
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: I think he was one of the strongest in the

155
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: They put it up the next day.

156
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 2: I think he was. Whatever it was. It's a free squat,

157
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: not a box squad either. Who'd be the strongest there?

175
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: I'm gle He was a pastry chef and me and

176
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: my grandfather Terry. Yeah, and had he pretty much had

177
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,280

178
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: had just retired from playing footy and needed something to do.

179
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: So do you do you get sick of eating pies? Like?

180
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: Because I imagine it's like, you know, like somebody who

181
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: might work in like a fast food restaurant and they're

182
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: around it so much, they probably get sick of eating it,

183
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: like you just you know what, I don't.

184
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: I don't think I do when I was working full

185
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: time at Garlos. I probably haven't a pie or two

186
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: a day, just to make sure that they were quality.

187
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, quality quality assurance. Sure, well they're big on meat protein.

188
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: You wouldn't have been an athlete you are today exactly

189
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: without Well they are that pretty pretty healthy, one of

190
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: the healthiesties in the market.

191
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: And you were saying earlier, so you're old man. He

192
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: credited a lot because I didn't realize, but they used

193
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: to do segments on the Footy Show and stuff.

194
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he puts a lot of the early day

195
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 3: success down to the Footy Show. I was just saying

196
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: before we jumped on that the first ever pinty competition

197
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: we did was broadcast live on the Footy Show, which

198
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: was It would have been maybe two Yeah, we opened

199
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: we opened the store in in O one, so it

200
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: would have been very early on and the big man

201
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: Ardie beats and MG smacking them all. MG would have

202
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: had about twenty pies and twenty Crown lagers.

203
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: That night he was still up Andrew would have filled

204
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: his pockus as well.

205
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: So the pilt in competition, what is that? Like? How

206
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: many you can eat in an hour?

207
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: Is that kind of I think it was I think

208
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: it was over maybe a half an hour period or whatever.

209
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: It was how many pies you can actually eat?

210
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: Who won? I think MG won beat MG one. He

211
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: beat the big mart Big.

212
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: But it's funny. We were we recently recorded Peter Powers

213
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: when we played but Peter Powers are hypnosis. He was

214
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: talking about how good the footy show was him. He

215
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: said his business in Australia just skyrocketed the footy show.

216
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: And I was explaining to the boys these these I

217
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: mean back in the day, you're pretty much only had

218
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: free to wear TV. You know, Foxfield was in infancy.

219
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: Only certain people had it. And so you get a

220
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: call on the Friday morning from Glenn Palace to the

Speaker 1: and fifty thousand in Sydney. I reckon these days, just

226
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Australian Idol wouldn't even get that.

227
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,240

Speaker 2: big on me.

239
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: Funny story about that too. I asked someone to BEBMC

240
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: and never heard back from him. And I've heard about this.

241
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, hang on a sec, all right, you tell your

242
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: side of myself. I'm not a very formal type of person.

243
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: So when I saw Coop last year come down to Melbourne,

244
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 3: I's and I kind of just said it to him.

245
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: Not in a joking way, but I just I'm gonna

246
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 3: troil it out there and to see what he'd say.

247
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: And I said, mate, I got chat to you.

248
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: Actually, i'd love for you.

249
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: To maybe because I heard he did a good job

250
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: at Chez's wedding. Yeah, and I didn't know if he

251
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: was charging people for this thing or anything.

252
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: I do I do it for free from mates. And

253
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: I said that to you. I said, no, of course

254
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: I do it for free from mates. I'll do it

255
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: did I not say that?

256
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: But I was talking to Jack before, and there's a sarcastic,

257
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: sarcastic way you reply to things sometimes, and I was like, okay,

258
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: I'll take it as a yes, but I need to

259
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 3: actually follow up and get a confirmation.

260
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: So I messaged him and probably probably on my.

261
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: Half two that I should have called him, but send

262
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: a message and said, mate, what you do in the

Speaker 3: honor of actually am seeing me?

264
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: This is actually serious? Nothing's nothing for a few weeks?

265
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: What was it?

266
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 4: What was the what time and day of the week

267
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: was it that you probably said it to him?

268
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: It would have been just like a typical Monday.

269
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: Recovering though he's on a little down right. This is

270
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: the thing. Sunday to Tuesday. Yeah, hard to get me

271
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: on the phone because I'm high. I'm literally hibernating. I'm

272
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: scared of the world. You've probably got a two day

273
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: Wednesday to Thursday. It's probably the only two days you

274
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: will probably get me on Friday to Saturday. That's a

275
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: rite off leaving me phone. It's either in me your

276
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: pocket or keep it in the room. And as I

277
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: go out and about. So Wednesday to Thursday, brono. But

278
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: I this is what I said to him. I said,

279
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: my word is oak right. See this would that's my words.

280
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: That when I say, you're tapping cardboard.

281
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: When I say something, it's going to be done right.

282
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: So when when you followed up with a text that

283
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: I mistakenly didn't reply to you, I was already locked in.

284
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: You just go ahead. You plan the rest of your wedding.

285
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,560

Speaker 1: person who is an emerging star in their own mind

289
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: or a genuine TV and media superstar already got one

290
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: who's doing it's going to put it out there if

291
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,800

00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: isn't a live reading. We'll get into it now.

315
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: They reckon what happens sometimes when urinate and the burns.

316
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: That's bad. Okay, we're asking about that before Ripley's Believe

317
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: it or not? Sorry back.

318
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: So we had reservations about him makeually going on the

319
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: show because we're like, what do you do? And then

320
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: you got the top three, and then we had to

321
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: be involved in it because they're going to meet the family.

322
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: So they come over, Mum cooks and feed whatever it

323
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: is and she sits down and like you see what

324
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: they do with editing behind the scenes on those shows.

325
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: Because the old man took her for a for a

326
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: father prospective kind of yeah.

327
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: In his in his in his in his man cave

328
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: with all the South Sydean riots.

329
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: In the.

330
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Glow Pies T shirt.

331
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: But they couldn't have made him look any worse on

332
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: the show, and they made he perceived as the Yeah,

333
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: the villain, the villain, the villain father. And I think

334
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 3: it was because he went on the show from from

335
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: the angle of he's coming from the pie Empire they'll

336
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: calling it or whatever. And then he asked her a

337
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: question of like what do you like so you're on

338
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: goggle Box whatever, like what do you what else do

339
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: you do? And they framed it in a way of

340
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: him asking her like are you are your gold?

341
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?

342
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,360

Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: I got And you can imagine what the what the

345
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: previews were in leading up to the show about the

00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: music and the did he get yet?

00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: Really slow motion into black and white boom.

348
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: I was happy it was was him rather than your mum,

349
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: like if she was getting sprayed online for for asking

350
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: a question.

351
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: And that would have been hard. Did he actually cop it?

352
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: He did?

353
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,880

359
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960

Speaker 4: opposites in a room and just seeing what happens. It's

401
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,479

408
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: people that'll get there and there's one person that just

409

Speaker 1: thinks they're better than the next, that is just your

410
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: heart goes out.

411
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: You see what they did in the last one, and

412
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 4: the last one they were actually getting them comparing everyone

413
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 4: else's couples and seeing who the hottest, who the hottest

414
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: partner was. Some people were like proper not putting their

00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: Great viewing, great viewing.

417
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean we don't watch it in this house. Yeah,

418
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: obviously someone told me about this.

419
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Go back to Souths for a second. What are you

420
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: you being in there in that environment? Last year they

421
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: had a heap of injuries, but I think it's no

422
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: secret that the talent they've gotten, the squad they definitely have,

423
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: and the coach obviously behind the driving wheel, they have

424
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: a good chance at a premiership. Is there like, is

425
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: there a good feeling amongst the playing group this year?

426
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a really good feel of like everyone's

427
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: fit at the moment too, so everyone's on the field

428
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: and their training, and some of them was saying last

429
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 3: year during the preseason there'd be there'd be ten of

430
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: the starting players that wouldn't even be on the field.

431
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 3: So I feel like that's a feeling itself of everyone's

432
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 3: everyone's fit and ready to go for the season at

433
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: this point. But there is where the where the training

434
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: facility is that have from there around Ruber area. There's

435
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: a lot of obviously locals that get in the cafe

436
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: in the in the mornings and they're just there's just

437
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: the buzz about the place and I feel like it's

438
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: it's it's heading on a good kind of try. Actually,

439
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: Like I've been obviously, you've been out at Melbourn, I've

440
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: been in Melbourne. You have those periods where you feel

441
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: like this is this is this is a good kind.

442
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Of the potential of that left side, Cody Walker, David Feeder,

443
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: La Tron Mitchell and aj on the wing, you're going

444
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: to like the potential.

445
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: There is is huge. Last year they had like they

446
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: think that the most injuries of anyone in the camp,

447
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: Like the key man.

448
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you basically never saw saw the key

449
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: men on field at the same time I can.

450
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: He was out for the whole year as well, you know,

451
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: so I imagine if they can keep a fit squad

452
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: on the field, the possibilities rendless.

453
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: But it's not nice for you, Bronson to return there.

454
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean that that is I mean as far as

455
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: the Garlic family, that is. You know that that is home,

456
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: Isn't it like the South in your Rabbits? Your dad

457
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: was junior coming through there. I remember watching Dad play

458
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: under twenty ones. I played against him there. He went

459
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: to the Roosters later and then back to South. But

460
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: for the family, I mean your rabbit ost All.

461
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: My memories as a kid were wearing the red and

462
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: green and watching Dad play and in his last couple

463
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: of years, and red and Green runs from my blood.

464
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: I was often for a couple of years when I

465
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: when I had to move away. But this is my

466
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: third stit back there actually, but it just feels different

467
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: this time, and it's obviously a real chance of me

468
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 3: playing first grade there.

469
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: And are you a like did you always dream of

470
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: playing for the rabbit Os?

471
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was South, then you went to the

472
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: Dogs the Storm now back at South Agin Yeah so

473
00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I went.

474
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, we actually we actually had a game and we did.

475
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 4: We played that cup game. So twenty twenty just for COVID,

476
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: me and Brono played Round one of New South Wales

477
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: Cup together and then that midweek went into lockdown, so

478
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: it was crazy.

479
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: So the boys that were obviously full time at that

480
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: point went into the bubble or is that how it worked?

481
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: And then yeah, well I wasn't.

482
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: I wasn't full time any I did a preseason whatever

483
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: it was, and then I just got shafted, so I

484
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: had nothing, nothing doing until the following year when it

485
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: restarted back up and I went to Newtown. Yeah yeah, yeah,

486
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: got picked up from Melbourn from Newtown.

487
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: So he just won the Grand final? Are you the new.

488
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: Town waned in twenty It would have been twenty nineteen, okay,

489
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: and then they won it again.

490
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: I think it was twenty two. Mcgoole is one or

491
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 2: twenty two? Easy ordeal. A Newtown is a throat goat.

492
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: Mcgooley's who crazy?

493
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: Mcgooley's you've done it again throat goat. So McGonagall, you

494
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: got you got signed to Storm when you were twenty five? Yep, yeah,

495
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: of twenty five, like relatively late bloomer. Well, there are

496
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: times during that period where you're going because I think

497
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: when you're in it, especially like even even young kids

498
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: who are playing SG ball, which is under nineteenth, they

499
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: feel like if they don't make it SG ball, they

500
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: don't make under twenties, they almost feel like their career

501
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: is done. The natural progression is they think they have

502
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: to play these rep rep teams, which is just not

503
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: the case because you can develop at any age. Were

504
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: there are times during that where you were like, like,

505
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: Footy's done for me? Yeah, I reckon. It was multiple time.

506
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: I didn't play mats, I didn't play ball, only played

507
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: four games of twenties my first year. So I was

508
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 3: never I was never a superstar by any means. I

509
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: look at some of the players I play twenties with,

510
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: I don't know how most of them didn't even make it,

511
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 3: you know. But I put it down to me old man.

512
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 3: He always said, don't don't sack yourself. There's going to

513
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: be coaches that tell you, tap you on the shoulder

514
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: and tell you to go. But if you just stick

515
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: in there and hang in there, then if you keep

516
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: working hard, then something's going to happen. And I look

517
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 3: back at that at Newtown and it was probably my

518
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: last roll at the dice. I was like, this is

519
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 3: my last crack and that's that's probably the point at

520
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: twenty five where you've got to kind of make a

521
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: decision whether you go back to full time work or

522
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: you keep persevering with part time footing. And I pretty

523
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 3: much said to myself after the COVID year, this is

524
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 3: this is it.

525
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: Tell me about the first day at Melbourne. I'll tell

526
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: him about the first tell him about the army camp.

527
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: Can you wait? Can you go back? That's not too

528
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: far ahead? Sorry? But how who got in touch about?

529
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: When did you realize Melbourne was on the cards?

530
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: I got a call from a manager at the time

531
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: and he said he pretty much said, he's sitting down.

532
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: I was like, what are you talking about. He's like,

533
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: I've got a call from Melbourne. I think it was Bunny, Yeah,

534
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: Paul Bunn. Maybe Jordy he likes to.

535
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: Say, or Bunny. He just scouts around looking for his

536
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: potential players.

537
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 2: Single mum said.

538
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: But got a phone call for a manager and it

539
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 3: kind of have a really quick because I was That

540
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: was after the season got canceled again through COVID, so

541
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: twenty one midway through twenty one and there was a

542
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 3: there was offer on the table and mel Man said,

543
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: you just got to you just got to take it.

544
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: Whatever it is, just take it. And it was a

545
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 3: development contract which was sixty grand.

546
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: Sixty grand, yeah about that. And I was like, I

547
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: didn't think.

548
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 3: Any anything more of at the time about actually moving

549
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: away from my family and stuff like that.

550
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: But what was your first impression, like meeting belly ache

551
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: and that like your first.

552
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: Inter nervous as I was actually lucky that I moved

553
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: down there by myself without my missus first, and I

554
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 3: moved in with Jonah Peasant and Jack Howarth, Yes, into it,

555
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: into the you've just seen this house at Dad drove

556
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: down with me and we rocked down his alleyway and

557
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: it's full of graffiti and there might have been a

558
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: junkie shooting up in the in the side alley.

559
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Andrew Johnson, Now, but where they were you're a

560
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: Victoria Street. I remember when the house you'd moved into

561
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: Victoria Street in Richmond, which was it was and far

562
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: from where Harry and I and wish he lived at

563
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 2: the time. But Victoria's Ship was known in Richmond had

564
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: a like a like a legal heroinic yeah, like people

565
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 2: projecting him, so give them safe needles for people who

566
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: wanted to do in jack heroin and things like that.

567
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: So Victoria Street was like it was very rundown. There

568
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: were some strange characters getting around. It was also like

569
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: riddled with massage parlors, which would have been very good

570
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: for Jonah Pezzant.

571
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: But I actually caught Christian Well was a couple of

572
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: times ducking in the left foot side step.

573
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: He hasn't the real estate left foot, but it was

574
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: a very like it would have. It's actually I wouldn't

575
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: say it was like dangerous for three footballers being down there,

576
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: but if you're walking around at night, especially if like

577
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: any of your partners were around, you wouldn't want to

578
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: be in walking around around there.

579
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: No, no, but heroin to people are on heroin, it's

580
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: less dangerous than people these days on meth. Like if

581
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: people are on heroin, they don't generally them they're they're

582
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: they're they're very passive, they're out of it. That's the

583
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: biggest danger because well obviously.

584
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 4: Not obviously not medical professionals. So anyone here that's thinking

585
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 4: about this sort of stuff, we do not take our.

586
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: Word for Joey and I are Newcastle one morning doing

Speaker 1: get him going again. When he come out of it,

604
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,800

00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: Know, you put them the adrenaline. Does they put that

609
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: straight in your heart?

610
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Right?

611
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,080

Speaker 1: Through your chest plate.

614
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna touch and close your heart. I don't

615
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 4: think you can quite hit the heart. I wonder what

616
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: that I'm still rattled about. Junkie or a boxer.

617
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: That is so true, that is shorts. It's either a

618
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: junk they wash. Yeah, it'd be a really good arm

619
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: like like the Chase. But I could see Larry m

620
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: To hosting a TV show. It's like junkie or boxer,

621
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: and it's two pictures. You got to find there's a

622
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: really good Facebook page that I want. I go through

623
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: all the time. It's it's like dating or siblings. Have

624
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: you seen that? Oh, it's it's so fun. You just

625
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: go through and it's like they have pictures of like siblings,

Speaker 1: The army camp.

656
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so it was the first year I got there.

657
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: So that was end of twenty one leading twenty two,

658
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: I was gearing up to do the Army Camp. I

659
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: was living with Jonah and Jack at the time, and

660
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: that was when COVID was still still around and started

661
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: to go and test whatever every day, and those two

662
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 3: got COVID. This was the week leading into that camp.

663
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 3: So I don't know how I didn't get it, but

664
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: I was still like living with them, so they had

665
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: moved myself and Jack into another Airbnb and then they said, no,

666
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: we can't, we can't risk you bringing COVID potentially.

667
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: To how good. So she didn't do the army camp.

668
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: I did. I did the following year. The following it was.

669
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: It was probably worse because I had all this all

670
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: year the next year to think about it. But I

671
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: think think for me because I was a little bit older.

672
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes when the young fellows go through those army camps whatever,

673
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: that is so green, they don't know what is going on.

674
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I didn't like it, but it was it

675
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: was something that you just had to get through.

676
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: The two months under a hard trained nune to your

677
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: belt exactly.

678
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things you can you can

679
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: get age is really on your side, Like Jack Heatherington

680
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: just won the one just gone this year. Yeah, yeah,

681
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: but he's he's a bloke Heathrow who is the more training,

682
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: the preseasons you do, just the more mentally tougher and

683
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: you know what, you know what they're looking for, you

684
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 2: know what you need to like get the best out

685
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: of yourself. So the old when you were young, I

686
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: did it. Me and Harry did it our first year.

687
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: Harry's nine and I was eighteen, and our heads were

688
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: falling off, like their heads were falling off. Harry was

689
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: a lot more, believe it or not, mentally tough than me,

690
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: so he nearly won it. Brandon actually won it our year,

691
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: but Harry was a very close second. He was like

692
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: right underneath. But I think his age. Brandon was like

693
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: twenty three already when he he sort of won it.

694
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: Who won your wish?

695
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: I'm still a bit disappointed I didn't actually get the

696
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: win because wish.

697
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: He's always groveling.

698
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's always in there.

699
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: He's got nose up. Malmoninger's with a big contract to

700
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: Perth Bears.

701
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, good on him. Human means it means to

702
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: you'd be getting full back money to means, wouldn't he

703
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: means to an end, Ye wish she had it, like

704
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: I feel moving to Perth.

705
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's a big move. That's a huge

706
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: move for a player. And when she signed five years

707
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: oh god, why would you do it? The money? Yeah,

708
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 2: it's probably a fair point. Yeah, money's not everything though,

709
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: it's really not. How much are you making this year, Bron, Yeah,

710
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: I'll tell you after I write it down for you.

00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: We're actually bringing out Maddy Saucy drolls. It's bigger on meat.

712
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: What's run us through? The first sort of your time

713
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: out the storm coming through because there's a lot of

714
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: good characters out there. Who is who is your sort

715
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: of your favorites? And amongst the group playing groups, very

716
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: tight playing group, Yeah, it is.

717
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 3: Everyone's very close down there. But I think it was

718
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: it was handing me moving in with two of the

719
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: boys first. And Jack Howarth. He's the funniest blow hands

720
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: down that I've ever met. And he without without doing anything,

721
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: he just gets the boys together just because how funny

722
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: is you know? And there's a good crew of boys

723
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: that are really like, everyone's really close, but there's there's

724
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: a yeah, there's a core group of blokes that really

725
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: sticks together, and obviously you were down there in the

726
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 3: house with Harry and Wishy and you kind of got

727
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: boys around and getting there and of a beer.

728
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: But it's we had a like how like you said,

729
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: Jack Howard. If people don't know like which he doesn't

730
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: really advertise it that well to the outside world, but

731
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: people who come into the club and see what he's like,

732
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: he's got to be one of the weirdest, funniest blokes

733
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: you've ever seen. But like you said, he's not trying

734
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: to be funny. A lot of the time. He's just

735
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: so dry and weird that he's just he his humor

736
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: just floods out from the plane.

737
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: Give me an example.

738
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: He's big on Managina's do you know how You're So

739
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: you'll be in the shower and you'll just hear like cool,

740
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: and you'll look behind and he's just staring at you,

741
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: like no expression on his face, but he's doing like

742
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: he's tucked his appendage between his leags and he would

743
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: just be staring like his masks. And remember the he

744
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: used to send so every he put on Snapchat, there

745
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: are filters, So there's filters that sort of change the

746
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: distortion of your face. And he'd go through the filters

747
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: finding ones that he could that looked like other players,

748
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: and then he'd send through videos impersonating that player and

749
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: they were so like, so accurate and so funny. It

750
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: go for like a minute and a half and he'd

751
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: just be like doing this monologue pretending to be like

752
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: Sean Blaw or so.

753
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: Funny, and he'd be like that around the boys, but

754
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: he'd be he'd be really weird around the coach and

755
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 3: stuff like that. So what we started doing was getting

756
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 3: those videos you put in and put them in the

757
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: team meeting. Would look over again, Jack, what is that.

758
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: Be beaten potatoes? What the fuck you doing?

759
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: It's concentrate your fucking football.

760
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: His first ever pre season I think it was twenty

761
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: twenty one, maybe post COVID we're doing We're Geelong camp.

762
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: So did two weeks at Geelong camp and Harry and

763
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: I were doing like a presentation. They get players up

764
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 2: to a presentation sort of around some stuff. They might

765
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: give you a task like do a presentation on the

766
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: ninety ninety nine Storm team, or do a presentation on

767
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: this specific player, so like players are learning.

768
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 1: Jenny Williams didn't.

769
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had Danny Williams. So we're doing a presentation

770
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: of Danny Williams. But we ended up finding a We

771
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 2: ended up finding this video on Jack Howise TikTok and

772
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: he used to make tiktoks relentless. He still sort of does,

773
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 2: but not advertised, and it was a video of him.

774
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: I think it was like him and Brendan Pakura from

775
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: the Broncos and they were playing Australian schoolboys together and

776
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 2: they're doing this TikTok like dance on and it's like

777
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: a dance skit and the song was like, wow, you

778
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: can really dance and they do. It's so weird and

779
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: we hadn't seen this weird side of how yet. So

780
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: we put it up and mate, everybody in this stage,

781
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 2: he's like eighteen, potentially even seventeen, and he's been there

782
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: for two three weeks at this training thing. We put

783
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,479
Speaker 2: it up in front and everybody just I remember Belly

784
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: going this blot like.

785
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 4: It was all.

786
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 2: It could have ruined a career because a coach watching

787
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: that would go, this bloke's not like, this bloke's not

788
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: a regular.

789
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: Get a start really after that for three years it's

790
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 3: grand too. He'd be able to get blokes up after

791
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 3: a big session of this spy. You just look at

792
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: him and you go, this this guy is just there's

793
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: something about this bloke that's just not not right. Yeah,

794
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: he just looked at him and he just he just

795
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: pulled a face or whatever. And I think that's what

796
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: kind of attracted everyone to how he so the when

797
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 3: he get married, getting in in November.

798
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: Aout dark horse in It's cool. Oh yeah, you know, yeah, yeah,

799
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: all through go and see Gaz and Gale.

800
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: You know we should do. I'll can I bring plus

801
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: two who you are and bring them on. Yeah, they

802
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: don't need food or a table that will bring their wheelchairs,

803
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: but I'll need shiploads of piers. Mom's as bad as dad. Yeah,

804
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: when did you When did you get your first debut

805
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: at the Storm?

806
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: Debut was twenty three Round one, twenty three.

807
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, a few other's debut that game.

808
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: No, that was the that was the twenty two year

809
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 3: I think I think that was the wishy debut. Round

810
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 3: one of that game McDonald's McDonald dave. Yeah, but yeah,

811
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: round one of the following year. It was the game

812
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: Harry scored in Golden Point.

813
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, harrah, yep, Yeah, because I was actually leading

814
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: into this potty. I tested Harry and I said, what

815
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 2: you've got any questions for Bronson? First thing he said

816
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 2: was ask him about the gimp suit gives He loves

817
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: that photo. It's a photo of it. Is there a

818
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: photo you wearing some.

819
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 3: Seres mean little brother had to eat for his twenty

820
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: first had a Gothic theme party and I went all out.

821
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: I was I was in a gibsuit.

822
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: I love it, and so they somehow I found this

823
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: gimsuit photo and put it up one of my first

824
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: days at training on the.

825
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: Probably the meaning one of the greatest characters cinema history

826
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: when they pull out the gampion, when Z and Maynard

827
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: pull out the gamp in pulp fiction. You've seen that.

828
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: So I've got a fucking suit.

829
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 2: Bra.

830
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't usually talk like a teenager, but Bra, there's

831
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: no other way to express it. It's it's pretty, it's hardcore.

832
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: Is it is this funny? That's so horny?

833
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: It's so horny, extremely so who But.

834
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: Then another question yet, this was actually a serious question

835
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 2: you guys ask Bronson about is because the Storm have

836
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: a second side that's called the Renegads. They're the boys

837
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: who aren't playing, and the boys who aren't playing, and

838
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: it can be hard for them sometimes because they're not

839
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: playing first grade, but they have quite a significant job

840
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: and pair in the NRL each week, and they've got

841
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: to get up emotionally and they got to train really

842
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: well to keep the training standing up. And he said,

843
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 2: can you ask Bronson about how he kept himself motivated

844
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: during that time he didn't play. He was down there,

845
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: He's twenty five to twenty six years I hadn't played

846
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 2: first grade there, but he was a big rallying part

847
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: of keeping the emotion up for the Renegades. Did you

848
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: take that as I did?

849
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 3: I felt like I was always in a position down

850
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 3: in Melbourne of I'm very lucky to be here, and

851
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 3: no matter obviously I wanted to be playing first grade.

852
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: And there were times there where I was injured and

853
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 3: you couldn't get back in the team just because the

854
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 3: other team was going. And there's two ways to look

855
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 3: at it. You you can sulk and you can come

856
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 3: in and be upset that you're not playing, or you

857
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 3: can get on with it and get the boys fired

858
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: up by training hard. And I felt like I did

859
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: a really good job of that and It wasn't. It

860
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: wasn't something that I wanted to be talked about in

861
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 3: that way. But I found that if I was training

862
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: hard and getting the Renegades up, I can get myself

863
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 3: back into the team.

864
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: Isn't that That's one other thing you said in Melbourne,

865
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 1: you very very rarely see or hear of players kicking

866
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: stones at Melbourne. That makes sense, but I suppose that's

867
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: having a really tight playing group and everyone being really

868
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: tight mates. I think that covers a lot of covers

869
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot of that covers a lot of shortcomings, and like,

870
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: I just never hear of anyone, you know, basically coming

871
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: out in the media or complaining about Melbourne saying I

872
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: haven't been given a fair goal or anything like.

873
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: That like that.

874
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: They would probably be a little bit, but it's just

875
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: it seems as though it never festers.

876
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 3: I also found too the assistant coaches and ballyag as well,

877
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: that they're so clear in the way they give you

878
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: communication as well, so you're not I'm not coming in

879
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: and wondering if I'm going to be playing it, like

880
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: if I'm going to be there, and like they're telling you,

881
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: they're straight up, and I really appreciated that and that's

882
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 3: what allowed me to be a good renegador or a

883
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: teammate and.

884
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: Said, if you can't break bad news, you should be

885
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: a coach. So it's also like it's got a mad

886
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: culture there of they show a lot of appreciation.

887
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: To those boys, like they don't there's there's NRL clubs

888
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: where they all their attention is on the NRL side,

889
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: and it's very easy to kick stones because they're not

890
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: even looking at those boys who are in that Renegade,

891
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: that second side where is it Melbourne. There's so much

892
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: emphasis on those boys training well, having a good attitude,

893
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: and they will reward those boys for that, like they

894
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 2: will show you know, even though a bloke's not playing

895
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: first grade and in the video clips during the week,

896
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 2: they might show a really good clip of a Renegade

897
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: in there and go look at like this effort or

898
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: look at how they ran this shape. We can adopt

899
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 2: that like and they want it to be competitive. So

900
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 2: some days when we're in the Renegades bron like we

901
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: would we'd carve up the NRL side like playing and

902
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 2: they would encourage that, whereas a lot of other teams,

903
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 2: like one of other other teams still crack.

904
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

905
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 2: Still we're still weren't playing. But a lot of other

906
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: teams they will they will be like n just just

907
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: make it eat, almost like they would encourage them to

908
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: put them on show. They want them to feel good

909
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: going into the game, but essentially like they don't really

910
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: get anything out of that because if they go out

911
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: in the weekend, they've been training easy all week, A

912
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: good side like Penroth'll just put them to the sword. Well.

913
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: And the other thing it seems is though the most

914
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: experienced players in the NROL team respect the players in

915
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: the Renegades, and that would be that would not be

916
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: universal across the league. You get, you know, the most

917
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: senior players of some clubs treating even the younger blokes

918
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: in there side like shit. Some some clubs, you know,

919
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's the culture, but there's some some

920
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: players like that.

921
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 2: Well.

922
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 4: It helps when you have great players like the novice

923
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 4: David Nofluma, couldn't you he was one of the great

924
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 4: renegads there for a little bit before he went back

925
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 4: into first grade.

926
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 2: Was the good Nopice was he was playing first go there.

927
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: He wasn't really a renegade, but the Nofice outrageous stuff.

928
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: I always talk about him on the party because it's

929
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: just he was so not a Craig Bellamy player like

930
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: in terms of but he was so refreshing for the

931
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: group because he does some weird stuff that like wasn't

932
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: in system of our defensive structure attacking structure, but it

933
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 2: would work because he was just a freaky player. And

934
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: he would say he was so not arrogant, but he

935
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: always say he was just so confident.

936
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 3: In himself even some like the meetings sometimes go for

937
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: a little bit too long and no one's saying anything

938
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 3: because everyone's very serious, and he's probably come from a

939
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 3: from the Tigers where it wasn't yeah serious. He'd stand

940
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: up and say something like like he'd made a good

941
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 3: tackle or something, and he goes, just another day in

942
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: the office.

943
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 2: He was just like, what are you saying that? Yeah,

944
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: I remember BELLI gave him a wrap around time and

945
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: he goes, Yes, just another day in the office. Bell

946
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: Belly goes what and he goes the office open three

947
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five days a year, no public holiday

948
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: of holidays at the Tigers.

949
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: But he's playing in Serbian now, isn't he still over

950
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: there playing I don't know.

951
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: If he's still playing. I don't know who would know.

952
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: He was a vision of him playing there to say

953
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: he's carving them up.

954
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you see it on TikTok, Matthew, is a

955
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: TikTok that you saw?

956
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: It was not one by the Chinese Chinese Communist Party,

957
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: it is.

958
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been Dad's found, Like dad's been scrolling heaps.

959
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: Does your dad do TikTok? Oh? He's he's not TikTok.

960
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 3: He's Insta, but he doesn't doesn't post any but he

961
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 3: will go back and like like photos from four weeks

962
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 3: ago because he's not on their march, and so my

963
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 3: missus will get a thing short garlet like your photo.

964
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: Which is a dad to let people know. Like, if

965
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: you're liking someone's photos from probably longer than two weeks,

966
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: you'd say it's it's like you're trying to float with

967
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: you're flirting, So.

968
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 4: The algorithm main center around you, bro, I mean you're

969
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 4: going looking for them.

970
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like a universal if you're wanting to let

971
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: someone know you're looking at their stuff.

972
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: Funny with TikTok because I never heard it worked. I'm

973
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: not joined a TikTok, but I can look at other stuff.

974
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: So I'm looking and I wasn't aware of the algorithm.

975
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm laying a bit with Trish one night's TikTok ship.

976
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: It's just middle aged women dancing and sleep bikinis.

977
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

978
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 2: How hard was it Fait to leave Melbourne to sign?

979
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 2: Yeah it was.

980
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 3: It was so hard considering melbourneted to keep me as well,

981
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 3: which was even harder in itself. So when I really

982
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 3: wanted to go about it the right way, because you

983
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 3: hear of blokes leaving Melbourne and it's either falling out

984
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 3: or whatever happens. And I really wanted to stay on

985
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 3: Frank's good side and crazy good side, and I just

986
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 3: wanted to keep my update as much as I could

987
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 3: through the whole process of negotiating. And when I told

988
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 3: Frank that the reason for me coming back was was

989
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 3: because I've just had a baby and I wanted him

990
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 3: to be around my family. And I would have thought

991
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: Frank would have taken it worse than than belly A

992
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: what I called him. He goes fucking what I thought

993
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 3: you were staying? So yeah, he actually thought so. I

994
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 3: was that that kind of made me feel a little

995
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 3: bit like, am I doing the right thing? And but

996
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: then I actually went and sat down and spoke to him,

997
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 3: and he was like, mate, as long as you're doing

998
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 3: it for the right reason, then as long as we

999
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 3: dont Because this was probably in June when I sagned

1000
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: last year that he goes, as long as your train

1001
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 3: doesn't drop off and you're not focused on leaving at

1002
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: the end of the year, then all good. But if

1003
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: I do see that, then I'm not going to pick

1004
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 3: it or whatever whatever happens.

1005
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 2: Like Bellaic has changed so much over the year. Even

1006
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 2: from like the first year out there twenty end of

1007
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, it was very like he was very intimidating,

1008
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: was a little bit distant to the players, like he

1009
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: keep an arm's length so he could be that disciplinarian.

1010
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: Whereas now, like I look at how he is from

1011
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 2: then to twenty twenty six this year, like that arm's length.

1012
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 2: It's almost like he's evolved as the game's evolved. I

1013
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: think Covid really broke down that barrier of the military coach,

1014
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: like it's more about having a personal relationship with players

1015
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 2: in the modern game. I think, so he's like so

1016
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: much closer with everyone in the playing group, not just

1017
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: the senior players, like from the senior players down to

1018
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 2: people who were down there for their who might not

1019
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 2: even be playing first go. They might be rookies down there,

1020
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: but he's very like he'll catch up with everyone in

1021
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: the off season, like we caught up with him for

1022
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: a beer over New Year's and cool and gadda, and

1023
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: he's just very Maybe it might be because he's getting

1024
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 2: older too. I've sort of dialed it down a little bit,

1025
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: but seeing the end, I imagine that makes it In

1026
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: the end, I imagine that makes it very hard for

1027
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 2: like players to leave now because he's not as like

1028
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,479
Speaker 2: aggressive as people see him on the TV.

1029
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 3: He's just genuine too. And I don't know if he

1030
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: puts it down to this, but I remember when I

1031
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: was telling him that I was about to have a

1032
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 3: baby and he was telling me that when he had

1033
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 3: his grandchildren that it kind of mellowed him out a bit.

1034
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: And it was around that time and Smithy actually went

1035
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: to him and said, mate, what's going on. You're going

1036
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 3: you're going soft, like what's happened? And it was literally

1037
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 3: when his first granddaughter was born. So I don't know

1038
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 3: if that's got anything to do with it.

1039
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, they say, they say having like if you're

1040
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 2: males who have daughters or granddaughters. At really he slows

1041
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: him up like Uncle Joey when he I would say,

1042
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: having Alice his daughter. Because he's had a twenty six

1043
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: year old, sixteen year old now six year old, he's

1044
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: ten years apart. He works like a blood moon, he does.

1045
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: He's Haley's Hailey's common Hayley's comment. And but that's where

1046
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 2: I think that's been a very calming influence on him.

1047
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: So because even Ruben Garriy just had it. You've got

1048
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: a young boy, Hudson, and he's got a better hairline

1049
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: than you. Parker. Yeah, two, who you know? His name's Parker?

1050
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: Who's Hudson, Hudson? Who's Hudson Hudson? Young? No, I wouldn't

1051
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: think you would have given birth the Hudson yar Now

1052
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: he's one his term one? The hell is Hudson? What

1053
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 2: did I think your baby was called Hudson all this time?

1054
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 4: You know?

1055
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: When I saw you, when I saw it, when I

1056
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 2: saw you and Georgie out in Bondo the other day

1057
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: and we were having a beer, I kept calling him

1058
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 2: Hudson to her. She never picked it up. I don't

1059
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 2: know what she was, probably pissed. I don't know.

1060
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: That he's one of his secret source in the last

1061
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: fifteen years or so has been Frank Pernisian Paul Bunn.

1062
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, assistance have come and gone. But that's a

1063
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: very good team. To have Bunny on one side recruiting

1064
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: those players and have Frank with all the organ organizational skills,

1065
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 1: it's massive for the club.

1066
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 2: Who's who are the assistants at South Sydney this.

1067
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 3: Year, Ben Hornby, Steve Antonelli and John Sutton.

1068
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 2: They've been there for a very long time.

1069
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: As I said before, Madge said, John Sutton's the smartest

1070
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: players ever coached. Yeah, and Benny Horney's got a yeah.

1071
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,759

00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: very actually tell bronso he can just added it out

1073
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 2: Jack's guard. What did you ask you?

00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

Speaker 4: Yeah, I got Jason Riles when he was an assistant

1076
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 4: in the Storm, grabbed me during COVID. We had a

1077
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 4: game against the Storm and he grabbed me. After the game,

1078
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 4: we have a laugh and he said, oh yeah, we

1079
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 4: called him this and I went sweat. I called Benny

1080
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 4: that name and I'm not going to say it. And

1081
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 4: we were literally one on one and he.

1082
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 2: Just sprayed me one on one. I was like, oh, okay,

1083
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,640
