It's a especially the dragons and 53 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 8: the roosters, they kick it all off. 54 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're in the crowd that day, obviously that 55 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 4: the back of your hairs stand up well on your neck. 56 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 4: And it's an education for fans as well over the 57 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: sacrifice that's been made for generations gone by. 58 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: So it's a great day. 59 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: It's a great event, and it's generally a great spectacle 60 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 4: that Dragon's roosters clash. 61 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 5: I finally, as a player, it's a real day of reflection. 62 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 5: Like during the week you prepare for this game, and 63 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 5: it's really emotional. They bring soldiers or war veterans that 64 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 5: have served before and they come in normally tell us, 65 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 5: tell us their story and what it was like. And 66 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: then you get to the day and it's such a 67 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 5: big build up and it's such a big crowd and 68 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 5: it is an emotional day. Then you kind of hear 69 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 5: the last post and then the national anthem and the 70 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: silence is deafeniting in that moment, like in between sort 71 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 5: of those two moments, those two moments, and you know, 72 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 5: you think about your family, you think about your journey 73 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 5: to this point, and it's really like it is as 74 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: as a player. It's we spoke to the players last night. 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 5: You've got to control your emotions because you know, for 76 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 5: just a club game, it's like playing Origin. 77 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 8: Or a street We say we go into battle and war, 78 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 8: but we don't like when you hear their stories and 79 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 8: I think that they're over used in the sporting well. 80 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 8: But you know that you've got to trust your mate 81 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 8: when you sit there and you know they say you're 82 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 8: like and the word dig it because they didn't dig, 83 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 8: they didn't survive. But all these old diggers come and 84 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 8: tell you their stories. And that's when you go out 85 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 8: there and you pull on a jersey to run around 86 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 8: in this great country. You know you can't, but you 87 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 8: can't not ever go. 88 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 5: And the pressure is on to not disappoint, you know absolutely, 89 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 5: because everyone is watching this first game, the Sydney Roosters 90 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 5: up against the Dragons. It's been a great battle over 91 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 5: the years, the Roosters a little bit out of form 92 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 5: at the moment. The Dragons have found for him and 93 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 5: surprised a few people and could have won a couple more. 94 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 5: How do we see this one penny out. 95 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 7: I think it's tight, especially given everything that your blokes 96 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 7: have just emphasized about the magnitude of this clash. I 97 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 7: love the battle of the fullbacks. Teddy has been in 98 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 7: superb form even when the roosters have been beaten, and 99 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 7: Clint Guthason for mine at this early stage, I think 100 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 7: he has been the bye the year, and I think 101 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 7: that proves a lot of people wrong because it was 102 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 7: criticized initially when the Dragons went after him, But I 103 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 7: think his involvement over the opening rounds of the season 104 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 7: just shows the contribution that he's making to the side. 105 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 5: He's so consistent, isn't he And he brings so much energy. 106 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 5: You talk about experience, but he just turns up every 107 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 5: week and it's at least a seven or eight out 108 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 5: of ten. He is everywhere in the game. 109 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was the perfect player for what the Dragons 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 4: needed because you go through that club. Out of the 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 4: patlast couple of seasons, the Achilles Hill has been leadership 112 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 4: and consistency. Lie brings both. There's no doubt about that. 113 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 4: He's set the standard from day one at training and 114 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 4: he's been really really good for the Dragons and takes 115 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: a bit of pressure off an emerging halves combination as well. 116 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 4: I probably have Threll made just ahead of him as 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 4: by the year, but it's a very close second for. 118 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 8: Mine Unlockedell Holmes as well because Vell sort of struggled 119 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 8: a bit last year. Bell's probably starting to come back 120 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 8: to his best. But as the young halves for the 121 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 8: Roosters too, both on a really big emotional day. 122 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 5: It is sant and Smith just hasn't been playing well 123 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 5: this year. I think everyone's been a little bit surprised 124 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 5: by that. That's just the truth. He's got to be better, 125 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 5: because you know, with Walker being out, it was like, okay, well, 126 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 5: Sanding can stand up, and he showed in the pass 127 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 5: and he has done that and he's had a couple 128 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 5: of good games this year, but he hasn't been good enough. 129 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 5: And then Hugo Savala is really the one they're leaning 130 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 5: on as a rookie half with his kicking game, and 131 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 5: we saw that against the Broncos a couple of weeks ago, 132 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 5: how impactful that was. And then they come up against 133 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 5: the Dragons halves pairing who you know, some labeled you 134 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 5: know that the worst and the competition and Flanagan was 135 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 5: quick through in mind everyone after the game last week, 136 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 5: so they've got a point to prove and they don't 137 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 5: believe that themselves. So this is the moment, This is 138 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 5: the game to do that on the biggest stage right 139 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 5: and one of the biggest stages on. 140 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 3: That Dragon's halves pairing. 141 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 7: They have come in for considerable criticism over the opening rounds, 142 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 7: but I think it's the addition of gutheruson If you 143 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 7: look at his triass this year, I think he's already 144 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 7: ahead of Ben Hunt in terms of points that he's 145 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 7: been able to create. That takes pressure off lockey Ilius 146 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 7: and off cold Flood again. 147 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: So I think they compliment one another. 148 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: Well. It was such an important win last week. The 149 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: way the Dragons went about it. 150 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: They'll clearly the better side on the first half and 151 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 4: could have led by a lot more, but they had 152 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 4: the lead, looked like they're want to get run down, 153 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: which has been a theme of the season. But to 154 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 4: kick again and get that win was huge for Locke 155 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 4: and Kyle. 156 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 5: Gutherson's been a great buy. If he's not the best boy, 157 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 5: he's up there in the top three. There's no doubt 158 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 5: on the flip side. What's happened to Tom Young? He's 159 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 5: been dropped this week for the Roosters. Cost a bit 160 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 5: of money for them to bring him down from Newcastle? 161 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 5: Can you tell us you the information is just. 162 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 7: I got to say it was a surprise to me. Look, 163 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 7: he's on big money. I think he's on about four 164 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty thousand dollars a season. Signed by the 165 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 7: Rooster's first season last year. It's a four year deal, 166 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 7: so he's still only very early doors into his tenure 167 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 7: with the Chuks. Look, he has come up with some 168 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 7: defensive misreads over the opening number of rounds. I think 169 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 7: they put him on notice. Coach Trent Robinson has put 170 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 7: him on notice earlier in the season about that, and 171 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 7: he's just felt, for whatever reason, this is going to 172 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 7: be the best thing for his confidence. 173 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 4: I'm not surprised at all because of the defense, defensive deficiencies, 174 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 4: the way he's sort of come in and been left 175 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 4: exposed on that wing and some of his carriers coming 176 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 4: out of his own end. You know, he's a big body, 177 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: but he doesn't have the same impact. And you look 178 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 4: at the form of Toyer Billy Smith and no longer 179 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: needs to ask say, you have to get them more 180 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: in the back line. 181 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: So I wasn't surprised at. 182 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 5: Because he's six foot five and he's big and he 183 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 5: runs like the win. So like I'm like, what, why 184 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 5: can't you get it right? You know, Like his decisions 185 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 5: in defense have been pretty ordinary this year, and he carries, 186 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 5: like you said, for the size of him and the 187 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 5: speed that he has. If he has a crack, you know, 188 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 5: he'll get back in the first grade. But he's got 189 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 5: to work on his game. I think this is a 190 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 5: really good move. I think it's good too. Obviously. Billy Smith, 191 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 5: I mean, he was great two weeks ago, comes back 192 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 5: after suspension. He made it. He was you know, he 193 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 5: was instrumental in that win up in Brisbane. And then 194 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 5: it moves Mark I'm need to ask there which the 195 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 5: first time I stuff that up, But it moves him 196 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 5: to the wing. He struggled with his defensive reason center 197 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 5: and it makes it quite simple for him on the wing. 198 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 5: You know, he's just got one job to follow his 199 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 5: center and make the right decision. And his attack's been 200 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: so good, Like you can see the Rugby union coming 201 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 5: in him in attack. 202 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 8: He's off lage. He's always promoting the ball. He's learning 203 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 8: on the go, but like in attack, he's been outstanding 204 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 8: and dom young he's on the end of everything and 205 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 8: he has come up with some poor reads and the 206 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 8: Rooster's on the have been pulled out of shape a 207 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 8: couple of times this year, but putting him on the wing, 208 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 8: I think it just keeps him out of it. 209 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: So I think it actually works in their favor. So 210 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 5: you know, it's a good move by the Roosters. They 211 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 5: need a big game for them, isn't me? 212 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: A huge game? 213 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 4: Huge game for them because it was a bizarre week 214 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: last week against the Pendrick Panthers because I thought that 215 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 4: was the better side in the first half despite trailing 216 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 4: by six, and then just got blown off the park 217 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 4: completely in that second half, and you know they're going 218 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 4: to start they lose this one, they start chasing their 219 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: tail and losing to a side like the Dragons. So 220 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 4: you think they compete if they're going to be in 221 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 4: the top eight towards at that bottom of the eighth. 222 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 4: So it's a huge game for the Roosters, a huge 223 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 4: game for. 224 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 5: The Knights as well, six pm, taking on the Warriors 225 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 5: over in New Zealand. Newcastle's attack has just been it's 226 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 5: been awful. It really has what's doing with Kaylen Ponger. 227 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 5: You know, usually he's the man that saves them, he's 228 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 5: the creator, he's everything. Now let's have a look at 229 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 5: some numbers here with the Knights nose die average points ten. 230 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 5: That's last average tries two. It goes on completion rate, terrible. 231 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 5: Error is the same. I mean, look at their tackle 232 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 5: busts and they're off fload. So it's a nightmare in 233 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 5: Newcastle at the moment. 234 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, they've been putrid to only manage to score sixty 235 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 7: points in six games. And if you actually break it down, 236 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 7: you've got to go back to round two against the Dolphins. 237 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 7: They scored twenty eight of those points in that picture. 238 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 7: So when you factor that in for a backline that's 239 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 7: got not only KP but also Bradman Best, Dame Gaguy, 240 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 7: Fletcher Sharp's one of the best emerging players in the 241 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 7: competition who's lightning quick and can create points. It is 242 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 7: surprising they've been struggling. If you actually look at the 243 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 7: raw numbers, they're struggling to hold the ball. It's just 244 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 7: fundamental errors coming out of their own end. Basic mistakes 245 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 7: that's really been biting them on the arms. 246 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 4: That's been the concerning thing with hoofs. Their fundamental errors, 247 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 4: things that they can control, is what's shot them in 248 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 4: the foot. But you look at their they just haven't 249 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 4: for the last couple of seasons. They just haven't settled 250 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 4: at number seven. It's been an ongoing theme and while 251 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 4: you're chopping and changing your halves each week with your 252 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 4: number sevemans each week, you're not going to get that continuity. 253 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 4: Their go forwards not quite there either with the players 254 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: that have been missing, particularly in the middle of the field, 255 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: so they haven't had that impetus to go forward, and 256 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: that's where Kaylen plays well. Right, Kaylan plays off the 257 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: front foot. They haven't had the opportunity for him and 258 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 4: Fletcher Sharp's quite similar. Right, they're great front foot players, 259 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 4: but if you don't have that go forward, they're really 260 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 4: nullified and slow. 261 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, Adam O'Brien has survived tougher times, but is it 262 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 5: true that he gets a two million dollars payer out 263 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 5: if he got sacked, you might be able to contraction before. 264 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: I don't think there's any get out clauses there and 265 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 4: only any new deal to the end of twenty twenty seven, 266 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 4: which he inked last season and extended and look. 267 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: So he does you'll get a paid get full pair, 268 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: full full payer. 269 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean most of them. 270 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 7: I thought most of the club is now safeguarded measure. 271 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 7: They usually like a spot coming out with a. 272 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 4: Whatever the case may be. But it's my understanding it's 273 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 4: full payout for Adam. Then that's off the back of 274 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 4: making all the finals that he's made. I think he's 275 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 4: made four in five years. And you know a lot 276 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 4: of coaches would love that opportunity to make four finals 277 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 4: in five years. And I just don't think they've got 278 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 4: the cattle there to compete. 279 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 6: Right. 280 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 4: The pressure will be on next year once Dylan Brown 281 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 4: arrives and if they're dishing up the same sort of attack, 282 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 4: well there's going to be some issues there, right, So 283 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 4: I think he's safe. Well, it has to be four 284 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 4: out of five finals in a side that does anyone 285 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 4: have them make in the top eight this year? 286 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 5: What if the're losing? 287 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 3: Round continues Mick, what if you're losing? 288 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: Had them in the top eight? 289 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 6: Audio? 290 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 5: Well they should have? 291 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 9: You said them in your top eight. I didn't pick 292 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 9: a top eight, but would you have had him in 293 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 9: the top eight. Yeah, you think so, Calum Pong No, 294 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 9: I did have them in. 295 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: The top eight. 296 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 5: Remember it's too long ago. 297 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 8: But if you said they've made four out of five, 298 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 8: they would expect themselves to be in the top eight. 299 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 8: It's not what we think about them, it's what they 300 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 8: think about them inside their own form. 301 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: I just don't think they've got a top eight quality 302 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: roster at the moment. 303 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 7: If you look at their back line, Mick, yes, the 304 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 7: halves have had a lot of chopping and changing, but 305 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 7: the rest of that back line, the strike. 306 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: Across them, they should, they should. 307 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 5: You should come back then me what's changed this year 308 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 5: competed to last. 309 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 4: Well, I don't think the go forwards there either. Last 310 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 4: year that Jacob and Daniel Soffidi playing a lot. Leo 311 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 4: Thompson was obviously there, but Daniel's gone to the Dolphins 312 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 4: and Jacob's been injured and that that hurts. Then you're 313 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 4: throwing Adam Miller, Jack Hetherington, Dylan Lucas. There's your there's 314 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 4: a starting. 315 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 5: Forward back almost Thompson too. 316 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, they definitely at the end of the year. 317 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 4: Brown Dylan Brown, Well, that's why they've paid him a 318 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 4: stupid amount of money to fix this problem, to help 319 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 4: fix this problem because they can't score points, so they 320 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 4: find a guy they believe can help score points. 321 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 5: Which leads us to these details emerge of a potential 322 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 5: three way players swap between Galvin, Brown, Peace Paul. 323 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 4: Please explain, Well, there's lots doing the rounds at the moment. 324 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 4: In terms of you, You've got all those three players 325 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 4: that you mentioned. Ky Peace Paul's off contract at the 326 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 4: end of this season at the Newcastle Knights. I think 327 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 4: it's unlikely that he stays at new Castle, and these 328 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 4: two potential suitors are Paramatta and the West Tigers. Right, 329 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 4: then you've got Dylan Brown, Gun and Newcastle next year, 330 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: and then who knows what the situation is with Locky Galvin. 331 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 4: So theoretically, if you move Peace Poor to the Tigers 332 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 4: and Galvin to the Eels and Brown to the Knights, 333 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 4: there's a potential right now before Dune thirty. There's a 334 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 4: lot of things that need to happen, right But are 335 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 4: you hear there's been There's definitely been conversations at the 336 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 4: very least between a swap between Kype Peace Paul and 337 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 4: Dylan Brown. 338 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: At the Paramatta Hills. 339 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 5: Is that between the clubs. 340 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 4: That's between the clubs, right, whether or not that eventually 341 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 4: it's I think it's long to happen. 342 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: You're suggesting or thinking that if Brown goes from Paramatta 343 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 5: within weeks just so that does happen, which. 344 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 4: Is paratter and in no rush to get rid of 345 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 4: Ylan Brown, and especially there are no rush to get. 346 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 5: Rid of him. But if he does, then Galvin comes 347 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: into the frame. 348 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 4: Well, if I'm Paramatta, I'm not releasing Dylan Brown unless 349 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 4: I've got Lockie Galvin, right, because then you leave yourself 350 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: short and you're going to throw away this season. So 351 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 4: the only way that could work if I'm Paramount, I'm 352 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 4: not saying sea Dylan Brown and I don't have Lucky 353 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: Galvin done. 354 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 7: It feels like there's a lot of Chinese whispers to this. 355 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 7: It feels like it was brought up on radio on 356 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 7: the weekend. There's a lot of fantasy football spitballing. I 357 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 7: spoke to Kay Peers, Paul's agent at a sam Are You, 358 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 7: and he said, look, under no circumstances have we asked 359 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 7: for a release or will we be asking for a 360 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 7: release this season. He also said that they're not going 361 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 7: to be part of solving other people's problems or predicaments, 362 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 7: which lends itself to the fact that clearly some of 363 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 7: those other clubs are trying to maneuver behind the scenes 364 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 7: to get this style of scenario into effect. 365 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 5: Clubs and agents. 366 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 3: I just loved you'd have to have the agents involved too, Sure. 367 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: Three separate agents there. 368 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's a particular positive workout. It's not like 369 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 4: one's got two or whatever the case may be. But 370 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 4: there's no doubt that it's all. The Tigers are in 371 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 4: for him, right, So the Tigers. 372 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 7: I think there were some people pushing for the Tigers 373 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 7: to possibly get him before June thirty. 374 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: That then may have been perceived as well. 375 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 7: Okay, the Tigers have had a bit of a victory there, 376 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 7: They've got a good damaging edge back rower. 377 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: Well, maybe then they might soften their stand. 378 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 5: Pending what happens with the Galvin situation, which we'll get 379 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 5: to all right. Shane Richardson's Shane Richardson sat down with 380 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 5: a friend of the show, Brent Reid, to discuss the 381 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 5: Lachland Galvin saga. Let's start with his comments on Galvin. 382 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 5: Here it comes Lochland Galvin is a great person. He's 383 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 5: a junior, he's come through the club. He's going to 384 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 5: be well with us for the next eighty months. Just 385 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 5: treat him the way you would treat your own son. 386 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 5: I don't disparage his decision at all, except that I 387 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 5: don't agree that Benji wouldn't make him a better player. 388 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 5: He's never requested a release. The bottom line from the 389 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 5: club's point of view is he's here for the next 390 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 5: eighteen months. He's never said that Marshall Kart coach. Lachlan 391 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 5: is a very honest kid. He's as simple as it gets. 392 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 5: He loves his footy, so bred reed. He interview in 393 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 5: the Dally Telegraphs today with Shane Richardson and these were 394 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 5: the comments around Lachlan. How do we see these? 395 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're pretty honest from rich oh and 396 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 4: trying to defend a kid that they know he's trying 397 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 4: to agitate to essentially get out at some point. So 398 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 4: I think it's good that he's finally come up and 399 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 4: got on the front foot a little bit. The fact 400 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 4: that he said he's never requested a release. I don't 401 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 4: know what that timeline in towers, because you know it's 402 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 4: been confirmed that he has where there. It's part of 403 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 4: Shane Richardson's regime or definitely the regime before him, And 404 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 4: he did admit that Lockie said that he thought he'd 405 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 4: plays best footy elsewhere. 406 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 407 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 7: I think it's a smart play from rich He's an 408 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 7: experienced administrator. He's trying to show Lockelan a little bit 409 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 7: of love off what was a brutal and extremely messy 410 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 7: week last week. I think the suggestion that Lachlan's never 411 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 7: bagged Benji, that's probably a little bit hard to cop 412 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 7: because speaking to a lot of people around the game, 413 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 7: that seems to have been a common theme that has 414 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 7: been confirmed by a number of people. So I understand 415 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 7: what rich I is trying to do, and I applaud 416 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 7: him for saying we're not just going to roll over 417 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 7: and we're not just going to release Lockeye, because I 418 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 7: think that's been a major sticking point with a lot 419 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 7: of people. 420 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 5: We had the indication yesterday that the Tigers were going 421 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 5: to dig their heels in and he just said there 422 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 5: that he's here for the next eighty months. 423 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: Do we just correct if does that ended? 424 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 5: Hey, what he said is he's here for months? 425 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 8: No, But I love that if I'm a Tigers fan, 426 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 8: if I'm a Tiger's fan, if I'm a Tiger's member, 427 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 8: if I'm a supporter, and they come out from my club, 428 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 8: I'm thinking that's really good. So the young kid got 429 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 8: put in this situation in the club goes no, we 430 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 8: back you to play your best football here in the 431 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 8: next eighteen months. 432 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 5: Let's hear from Richo again and what he said about 433 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 5: Isaac Moses to Brent Ree. Obviously it's not good this year. 434 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 5: We've had challenges and they've all been with Isaac Moses' clients. 435 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 5: I've got to deal with Isaac. He's got to deal 436 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 5: with me. Benji deals with the player. I deal with 437 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 5: the manager. So I deal with Isaac because Benji and 438 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 5: Isaac have no relationship whatsoever. In fact, it's antagonistic. He 439 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 5: certainly made it clear to everybody that Benji's not on 440 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 5: his Christmas list, and I'm sure he's not on Benji's 441 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 5: Isaac's smart, he's intelligent, and he's trying to do the 442 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 5: best what is best for his clients. I get all 443 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 5: of that, but he's not doing the best for the 444 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 5: West Tigers. 445 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 8: So I like that. 446 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 7: Rich O's on the front foot, he's being extremely transparent. 447 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 7: The players that he's talking about are obviously John Bateman 448 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 7: David Klemer have both exited the West Tigers over the 449 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 7: course the last six months. 450 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 3: Now. 451 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 7: Lockie Galvin's the latest player in the headlines. I think 452 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 7: he's simply spoken. 453 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: The truth there. 454 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 7: Look last week on the show, I suggested that Isaac 455 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 7: and Clint Newton were close. 456 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 3: This is not the case. 457 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 7: There's no personal relationship between Isaac and Clint, and I 458 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 7: certainly didn't intend to cause Clint any issues, of the 459 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 7: RLPA any issues, or question anybody's integrity. But I like 460 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 7: what rich Il has done here. He said all along. 461 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 7: You can go back six months ago. He said, I 462 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 7: want players who are in for the crocodile role. I 463 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 7: want players who want to fight. And he's now showing 464 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 7: the entire playing group that he is prepared to fight 465 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 7: for a player, even though a lot of them, the 466 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 7: senior players Mick, have clearly got a beef with how 467 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 7: this whole thing has played out. 468 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 4: Plaud Richard, Yeah, I think it was good from rich O. 469 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 4: Didn't sugarcoat it said for him. Benji and Isaac don't 470 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: get on. It's quite simple. They don't communicate, they can't communicate, 471 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 4: So he's the intermediary and he's got to continue to 472 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 4: be so. 473 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: Because Isaac's got dream buller. 474 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 7: You seem like you might still think that you don't 475 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 7: necessarily subscribe lock He'll be there for the next day, 476 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 7: ten months. 477 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 4: I just if I'm the West tighs, I'm looking for 478 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 4: a win, right, and what that win looks like, I'm 479 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 4: not sure. 480 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 7: But if isn't the win standing up for your club 481 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 7: and standing up for the first it's going to drag 482 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 7: a contract. 483 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: Local not that if it's just going to drag out 484 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: headlines and talking about contracts. Mate, they show clem of 485 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 4: the door. They showing baitman the door, right, So it 486 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: works both ways. Okay, you know, so don't talk about 487 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 4: contracts because we know if a club wants to get 488 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 4: rid of your they'll just this instance. 489 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 7: In this instance, the club has done a good job. 490 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 7: They've brought the kid through that enough. 491 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 4: If you if you think that they can get through 492 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 4: eighteen months without it being a distraction or headlines continuously 493 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 4: keep him there. 494 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 5: I think what's a bigger distraction though, is it him 495 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 5: being there for eighteen months and trying to find his 496 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 5: feet and regain that respect of the teammates and having 497 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 5: him play for them, or is it letting him go 498 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 5: and getting it three out of thousand of the player. 499 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 2: Return depends on what you get in return. 500 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: Break just depend if you can, if you can orchestrate 501 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 4: the Klie Pierce poor thing, I'd probably do it right 502 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 4: to make it happen and guarantee because what that's got. 503 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 4: And then they've well, they've got lots too fine. No, 504 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 4: that's no like for like Cordy, because he's not a 505 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 4: like for like value. That's what praise point is. If 506 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 4: you're looking for like for like, you're done. That's but 507 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 4: then you've got lots too fine. And who you've said, 508 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: who Tigers believe is their long term half. So do 509 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 4: you keep him back for eighteen months? 510 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 5: Now? 511 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: Do you kick start his development? 512 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, I mean it's not even certain they'll stick 513 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 5: with the combination they've got. Yeah, as you said with 514 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 5: Gavin and Louis. If if Aynhu comes through and starts producing, 515 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 5: because's okay. So shamee what. Richardson has just appeared on 516 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 5: James Grahames by Around podcast, detailing the moment he knew 517 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 5: Locky Galvin was gone take a look. 518 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 6: I said to the to the player manager at the time, 519 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 6: I said, look, I'd like to ring and confirm this 520 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 6: with his family, with his family with him. Well, he's 521 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 6: a nine year old kid mate, I've met his family before, 522 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 6: and I know how close he is to his family 523 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 6: and how close they are, and they're really good people 524 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 6: and to be totally sold. Was surprised by the way 525 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 6: that that's happened. But at the end of the day, 526 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 6: but I wanted to talk to his dad. James was 527 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 6: a great guy, and I said, he said, no ways 528 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 6: at all, and so I tried to ring him that 529 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 6: up and he didn't return the call and all the 530 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 6: next day. So I became obviously I didn't want talk 531 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 6: about it, which is their prerogative. And it also said 532 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 6: to me that they were behind the decisions. In my 533 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 6: own mind was fifty to fifty whether he stayed or 534 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 6: not and what was going on outside, But it didn't 535 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 6: become fifty to fifty, become not one hundred and once 536 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 6: that decision may we needed to move on. 537 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 5: Very interesting there from Shane Richardson, pretty telling where Lucky 538 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 5: and his family were at with his decision. 539 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 7: Well, it just confirms what has been reported all along 540 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 7: that Isaac and Lockey go into the meeting with Richo's 541 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 7: got the six year, six million dollar deal a ready 542 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 7: to go. He probably thinks he's in a reasonably strong position, 543 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 7: and Isaac says, don't even bother tabling it because beyond 544 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 7: the end of his current contract, we're not going to 545 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 7: be here. He didn't talk about the list of grievances, 546 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 7: but obviously that was also part of the meeting, and 547 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 7: then we've seen it unfold over the course of the 548 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 7: next weeks since, with lots of different twists and turns. 549 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 4: Yes, I can't argue with what Hoops has said. I 550 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 4: think it's just that's why. I mean, I just don't 551 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 4: know if it's just going to continue to be a destruction. 552 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 5: All right, I'm sick you're talking about it, but I 553 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 5: don't think it's going to go any away anytime soon. 554 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 5: With the Bulldogs out of the race, manager, With the 555 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 5: Bulldogs out of the race for lock Weing galve in 556 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 5: the future of tobe Sex and has become a major 557 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 5: talking point. 558 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 10: When there's good players come on the market, you've always 559 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 10: got to have those conversations and and look at look 560 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 10: at what's best for the club and make decisions in 561 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 10: the best interest of the club, but just. 562 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 5: Shut down all the speculation. We'll get on with what 563 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 5: we're doing. 564 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 10: We've got a pathway system that we've put a lot 565 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 10: of time and effort into and that's reaping some rewards 566 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 10: as well. 567 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 5: You know, we're a development club. 568 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 10: We've been on that path for a number of years 569 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 10: now and put a lot of time and effort into that. 570 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 10: And you know, we won't be bringing too many people 571 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 10: from the outside, not that I'm aware of Toby. Toby's 572 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 10: done a good job. I think he's just hand on 573 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 10: this whole period really well as a character. So team first, 574 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 10: allever he's doing that and improving every week, then those 575 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 10: other things will come. You know, I've said it before, 576 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 10: I think our club is probably the closest thing to 577 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 10: English Premier League or college football in our country. So 578 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 10: walking from the Lee's Club down here on Bellmore days 579 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 10: and on the weekend, being able to have that walkover 580 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 10: from the hotel to the ground and everyone sort of 581 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 10: lashed onto it. But you know, just talking to our 582 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 10: leadership group then they loved it. You know, they understand 583 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 10: it's a truly unique experience for what it means to 584 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 10: be a Bulldog and yeah, something we'll definitely think about 585 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 10: doing in the future. 586 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. I was prepping for the show this afternoon and 587 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 5: this story popped up on my phone with the Dali Telegraph. 588 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 5: It was Bomber Peter Bidell story Sexton and I'm thinking 589 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 5: he signed, he's resigned here with the Bulldogs. I sent 590 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 5: it to my EP go there you go, he's resigning 591 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 5: and he goes mate read the article. I've read the 592 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 5: article and he hadn't, so not too sure what happened there, 593 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 5: but he brought it from White. I thought he'd done 594 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 5: a two year deal and they'd got him at five 595 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 5: under an year for two years. But why are the 596 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 5: Dogs holding off here? They're not rushing into signing him, 597 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 5: and why haven't they signed him already. 598 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 7: Well, Bomber's gone to the agent and then he's just 599 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 7: quoted what the agent's told him, which is apparently he's 600 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 7: going to go and have a sit down with Gus, 601 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 7: hopefully in the next couple of weeks, and they'll roll 602 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 7: out the welcome Matt and perhaps he can convince Gus 603 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 7: that Tabe does deserve a new two year deal. Look, 604 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 7: I just think that I don't think the Bulldogs are 605 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 7: in a rush because if you're listening to Cameron Sraldo there, 606 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 7: they've got an awesome pathway system set up there and 607 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 7: Mitchell Woods is one of the best emerging young halfbacks 608 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 7: in the country. And so I just feel as though 609 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 7: while they're on this winning role, they don't want any distractions. 610 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 7: Rather than rushing into anything they can't afford to sit 611 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 7: back and take their time a little bit. And they've 612 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 7: got a cap that they've got to work within. 613 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 3: They've got Leo. 614 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 7: Thompson coming next year. I'm sure they'd love to get 615 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 7: him this year if they could somehow maneuver that from 616 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 7: Newcastles good half back. 617 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 3: There's a bit to it. 618 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 5: They're sitting on top of the table. 619 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 8: I understand if they're sitting twelfth or something and he's 620 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 8: playing okay, But when you sit on top of the 621 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 8: table and your team's just in song you think. 622 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 5: That you're keeping it shows they're not certain. Not paying 623 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 5: a million dollars it shows they're not certain because it's 624 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 5: a really big call for the club and that's why 625 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 5: they're they're taking their time with it because if they 626 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 5: spend too if they get him at the right price. 627 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 5: It's fine because he's still unproven. The I mean it's 628 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 5: still the next kid, definitely, and mich Woods isn't ready. 629 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 5: He's a couple of years away. But you know, if 630 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 5: they commit to sext and now and then a gun 631 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 5: like a premiership or you know, and that's not a 632 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 5: discredit section thing, because he could be a premiership half 633 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 5: this year. We don't know that time will tell. He 634 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 5: could win. He could they can win a comp and 635 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 5: he's gone good enough to get the job done with 636 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 5: them as well. He's gone really good. But it's a 637 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 5: big call because they if they pay for Sexton and 638 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 5: go all in, not all in, but enough to not 639 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 5: let make a play at someone else, then they've locked 640 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 5: in and they can't go for another seven that comes 641 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 5: up on the market. So they've got to get this right. 642 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 8: I get it for a Daly Cherry Evans, I don't 643 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 8: get it for a young kid. I really don't get 644 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 8: when you're on top of the table. I get it 645 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 8: if he's struggling, but he seems to improved out of side. 646 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 8: He was at the Titans and as he intended, Boyd 647 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 8: now were in and out. But it looks like he's 648 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 8: found a home and sitting on top of the table. 649 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 5: I look like this. If they did get a Premiere seven, 650 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 5: they could do what Pennis done like that. The team 651 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 5: they've got there, but who was the premiergu There's not 652 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 5: many around. 653 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 3: Gus Butcherald I know, I know. 654 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 7: And the fact that as much as they're not in 655 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 7: right for d C and they've said they're not in 656 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 7: for Galvin and I'm not suggesting they are right, but 657 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 7: we all know they have had conversations about those two players. 658 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 7: So the fact that they're even having those conversations just 659 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 7: lets you know that it is definitely a consideration. 660 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 5: And the fact they haven't re signed him. 661 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 4: The story back of having the conversations like at ben 662 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 4: Hunt last year, shows they're just I'm with you for 663 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 4: the right price. And length as well is an important thing. 664 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 4: If they could roll him out another twelve months, I 665 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 4: think that would be ideal for Canny because two is 666 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 4: where you. 667 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,239 Speaker 2: Go, okay, so you wouldn't split it for one. If 668 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: for him, is there a huge market? Is there a 669 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 2: huge market? 670 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 5: Well? 671 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 7: His agents told the Bomber that there's at least a 672 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 7: couple of other clubs in the mix as well. But 673 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 7: in fairness to Sexton to your point from early Braith, 674 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 7: I reckon he's actually been doing a really solid job offensively. 675 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 7: His game has improved out of sight and if you 676 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 7: look at when he first got off at the Bulldogs, 677 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 7: he couldn't even make their starting solid. Well, they'll pick 678 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 7: another player Drew Hutchison was being picked in front of him. 679 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 7: He's fought his way into the team. He's been consistent 680 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 7: the majority of the time. So I can understand it's 681 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 7: a balancing and they've got him. 682 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 5: Any player in the competition right now that deserves a 683 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 5: two you deal, it's him. 684 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 4: But it's amazing to think that it's when was the 685 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 4: last time you know a half back of the site 686 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 4: that's been undefered to open season and we're discussing what 687 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 4: he's worth or should he stay at the club, And 688 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 4: so it's a really awkward position. 689 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 5: Real dominant spine. 690 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: No it's not. 691 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 8: It's not a premiership winning spine that the young kids 692 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 8: walked into and he's jumped on their coat tat. 693 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: Not by any stretch. 694 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 5: No, Okay, Jamal Foggetty quickly is a deal done with mely? 695 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 4: Mainly it will happen. They meet tomorrow bomb had this 696 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 4: one as well. This one will definitely happen. He'll be 697 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 4: at the Seagulls three busy, three year deal though that's 698 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 4: the length is interesting, around about six fifty seven hundred 699 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 4: thousand dollar mark Canberra. We're willing to give him one 700 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 4: year at a second year with some triggers, but you 701 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 4: know they're going to let him go with their blessing 702 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 4: considering he's going to pick up a three year deal. 703 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 3: He'll be taking that for sure by the surday tomorrow, 704 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 3: are they? 705 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 5: Yeah? 706 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 7: Okay, that surprises me because I spoke to Rickie Stuart 707 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 7: before the show and I thought him and Jamal were 708 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 7: pretty close. He said he hadn't heard anything from Jamal 709 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 7: at this point, so from Soris. 710 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 8: And so that he's you were supposed to meet with 711 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 8: Ricky but he got the flu, so Ricky said, look 712 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 8: let's just hold it off. And then Ricky after the 713 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 8: game we won him at the club but I think the. 714 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 7: Match said he had the flu and then they saw 715 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 7: him bouncing around. Did he like he just backed the 716 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 7: winner at Ogle Farm at the football on the Sunday? 717 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 5: All right, yeah, right, we'll keeping eye.

What Max King is doing at the Bulldogs. 721 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 3: He doesn't get a lot of wraps. 722 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 7: He's unsung, he's unfashionable, but he's playing so direct at 723 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 7: the moment and I love him coming up against the 724 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 7: big gun Bronco's forward pack and specifically paying hass. 725 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 4: Battle of the ones for Mine Melbourne v south Sen 726 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 4: and Latron Mitchell back at full back against Ryan Papenhausen 727 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 4: who's had a good good year so far. 728 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 5: Thank you.
