The Bronx of won five 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 2: of those half dozen matchups. 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 3: Here we go, the Battle of Brisbane begins. 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: The records they don't mean anything in rivalry games. 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: We all know that. 10 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 4: The starters. Let's look at the list of former Broncos 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 4: now with the Dolphins. 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, her Herbie Farnworth, Tompson Farnworth and Flagler. The 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: Dolphins are showing promise Asaka Nickarima and Cobo Tobo. And 14 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: don't forget Max plaf and his old man Johnny Plat. 15 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: Johnny Plath didn't just play for the Broncos, he won four. 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 4: Premierships with him. 17 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: For this great little man with a big man's game, 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: we don't expect the likes of Catony Staggs to be 19 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: politely giving away the keys to the house. Anytime soon 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: stag will run away and win. 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: The Battle of Brisbane saw the Broncos. Yes, the Planel of. 22 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: Brisbane, the Broncos and the Dolphins right after the Warriors 23 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: and West Tigers and as Friday Night football right here 24 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: on Foxley. 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 5: Welcome to Aerald three sixty I believed from every angle, 26 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 5: joining me again, the great Good and Tas. It's been 27 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 5: the journeys in Brent Reed and Michael Carrianas. And it 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 5: is on Friday night the derby, the Broncos up against 29 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 5: the Dolphins Friday eighth, been right here on Fox League Live. 30 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: And this game always lives up to the hype. 31 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 5: And it's a little bit more added to this one 32 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 5: after both coming off wins. 33 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: But all the drama surrounding Brisbane. 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 6: At the moment, it's been a bit going on, hasn't it. 35 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 6: This week in Brisbane break the Bomber has been loving it. 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 6: Dolphins are really good, been really good the last couple 37 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 6: of weeks. So it's a hell of a game. Brisbane 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 6: bounced back. It's always a good game in the derby. 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 6: But you've got two sides a pretty good touch. 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: I don't want any stuttering for me to I'll do 41 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: the best. 42 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 3: Man. 43 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 6: You've got rattle, you've got me nervous man, You've got 44 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 6: to put me in a bad spot. 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: You're feeling better. 46 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: I'm feeling a little bit of a home. 47 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 3: You look at the Dolphins. 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 7: I don't think the set restarts favors Aside more than 49 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 7: the Dolphins. With the speed they've got in that back 50 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 7: line and how electric they can be. I think it 51 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 7: sets up an awesome encounter between the two sides. 52 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think all the injuries from last year, they've 53 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 8: all come back, They've got a couple of games under 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 8: their belt, are really hard working side. Brisbane will probably favorites, 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 8: but this is probably the best chance the Dolphins have 56 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 8: had in a couple of years to get them all right. 57 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: Boys. 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 5: The big news this week was that Beno quit the 59 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 5: club as assistant coach underneath Manage McGuire. 60 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: We spoke about last night. How do you guys see it? 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 6: But it was the shock obviously because Ben was a 62 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 6: pivotal part of a part of what they did last 63 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 6: season when they won the competition. 64 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 4: It was a shock both. 65 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 6: But when you sort of see the explanation for what's 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 6: happened and all I guess the details come out behind it, 67 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 6: I can sort of understand why Ben's walked away. 68 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 4: I think for him, he just needed to get out 69 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 4: of there. 70 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 7: It's an unprecedented implosion from a premiership winning team. Like 71 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 7: the only thing that I can compare it to is 72 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 7: when des Hazler walked out on Manly all those years 73 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 7: ago to join can Every after winning the premiership. 74 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: But that was just one guy. 75 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 7: Right now, since since they've won the comp paynehass has gone, 76 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 7: Ben te O's gone, all the rumblings in and around 77 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 7: the club, Gord his name's gone. 78 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: There's been a lot. There's been a lot. 79 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 7: That's happened, and we're up to round four. Yeah, it 80 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 7: is unprecedented. 81 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: Everyone's been pretty pro too in this and anti Madge. 82 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: I feel the vibe on getting with this decision. 83 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 9: Now. 84 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 5: I'm going to flip the script a bit here because 85 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 5: Mick Crawley actually wrote an article on Fox Sports dot Com. 86 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 5: You should check it out because it gives great insight 87 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 5: into assistant coaches. And he was assistant Underwayne Bennett, Ricky 88 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 5: Stewart and a few other big coaches, and he did 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 5: point out a few things. You know, as assistant coach 90 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 5: these days, they do expect things to happen straight away. 91 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 5: They're always trumping at the bit they get to that 92 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 5: first grade coach. And if you look at the defense 93 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 5: of the Broncos, which I had a look at the stats, 94 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 5: eight tries conceded eighteen, sorry, eighteen tries conceded the last 95 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 5: five games, five tries against Hull and then the rest 96 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 5: of those tries thirteen in the first three rounds. They 97 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 5: had the argument last week heading into the Melbourne game. 98 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 5: So obviously Madge wasn't happy with their defense. And I 99 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 5: don't know what's gone down there, but obviously Ben Tia 100 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 5: hasn't taken it well. But do you just jump off 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 5: the ship or do you stay in for the long haul? 102 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 5: Do you get down in the trenches when she hits 103 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 5: the fan? There's two sides to this. And when I 104 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: read that article and I thought about that, then I 105 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 5: looked at their stats. 106 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: I looked at there. 107 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 5: Last year, I was seventh in defense, Brisbane still won 108 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 5: the comp, which is nearly unheard of, right, So that 109 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 5: I obviously weren't perfect in defense last year. 110 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: So there's issues. 111 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 5: There right now, everyone's sort of hammer and Madge and 112 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 5: pro too. Yeah, but isn't there an argument that maybe 113 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 5: he wasn't doing the best job and maybe he should 114 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 5: have got in the trenches and saw it out. 115 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 6: Ben, Look, you said, look, assistant coach, gotta be patient, right, 116 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 6: Ben's the ambitious guy wants to be a head coach 117 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 6: one day. There's no doubt about that. This has got 118 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 6: nothing to do with pursuing a head coaching role. It's 119 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 6: got nothing to. 120 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 9: Do with. 121 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 4: Well, so it's got everything to do with a slow 122 00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: build up. 123 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 6: The tongue over from last season carried through the off 124 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 6: season and it got to a point Braith where he 125 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 6: didn't feel like you could bed that. 126 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 4: Foota club anymore, did you? 127 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: It becomes I. 128 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 6: Heard the statues game had something to Billy slid one 129 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 6: in with the Queens and team Josh Handay Want, Josh 130 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 6: Hanay Want, even on the Gold Coast. He's obviously got 131 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 6: some ability right And I would argue that the first 132 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 6: couple of weeks you can argue about whether defensively they 133 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 6: There's no argument they were poured defensively. 134 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 4: But I think that was an attitude thing and that. 135 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 6: Falls on the head coach as much as it does 136 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 6: any other coach in that footy organization. You can't tell 137 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 6: me those blokes the way they played in the first 138 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 6: two rounds, the way they defended against whole k Are, 139 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 6: but that was a technical thing. 140 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: For me. 141 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 5: That was all about defensive coach. 142 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: But you can't just blame on attitude. 143 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 6: You can blame on well, they defended pretty well last year. 144 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 5: You said they were seven, which is unusual to win 145 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 5: a com with defending. 146 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 4: The normally got to be top four, top five, and. 147 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 3: That was exactly. 148 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 9: Was. 149 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 6: But I don't think I think, I think that's really unfair, 150 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 6: and be. 151 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: No one's saying it's unfair. 152 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 8: The head coach comes up with all the plans and 153 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 8: I'm happy to but he got rid of he got 154 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 8: rid of the planes before the Melbourne game. 155 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: And they won. 156 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 6: True, I would say this, but Madge wantedn't to hang around. 157 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 6: He could him be doing too about a job. Madge 158 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 6: wanted him to hang around. This was Ben's decision, There wasn't. 159 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 6: This was a Madge forcing out the door, calling for 160 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 6: his head. Ben made this decision right, and he made 161 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 6: it purely because I don't think he felt like that 162 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 6: environment was conducive to him and his coaching future. 163 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 4: He didn't want to be there anymore. 164 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: Doesn't that of resilience at all? 165 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 4: Well, that's unfair, that's all. 166 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 9: Well. 167 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 5: I think there's been a lot of unfair the other 168 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 5: way too, though, so I'm trying to balance this out. 169 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it's all one way traffic. 170 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 7: I don't know if it's a resilience thing, but if 171 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 7: you're not in line with the head coach, then you 172 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 7: have to go right like, you don't have to agree 173 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 7: with everything the head coach does, and you should challenge 174 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 7: him privately. 175 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 5: Think, do you think over the years there's a lot 176 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 5: of assistance that wouldn't have agreed. 177 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: But the head coaches haven't walked out. 178 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 7: No doubt, no doubt. But if you're if you've got 179 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 7: to a point where your differences are so philosophically apart, 180 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 7: then you can't coach there. 181 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 5: Again, it doesn't happen hardly ever, it's very it's very ready. 182 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 8: So there assistant coaches sit there quiet wait for them 183 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 8: to fall on their sword and then go for their 184 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 8: job and say, well I had a different idea, and 185 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 8: maybe this is honorable from Ben saying I mean, so 186 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 8: it can go both ways. 187 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 4: This wasn't a philosophical difference. 188 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 6: That isn't it because of a philosophical difference about defense 189 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 6: or the way they should play. This is about my understanding, 190 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 6: is about how he was treated, how he was spoken to, 191 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 6: how is really effected with right. 192 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: Well, that's what I understand. 193 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 6: So that's I don't think this has got anything to 194 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 6: do with a philosophical view of It's not about Origin 195 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 6: and not being able to coach Origin. That's been talked 196 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 6: about at nauseum. This is not because he wasn't allowed 197 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 6: to coach Origin. It's got nothing to do with that. 198 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 6: And if it's got anything to do with it's a 199 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 6: very minute part of it. It's about that he didn't 200 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 6: feel like that environment there's the right environment for him 201 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 6: to be in to grow as a coach, and it 202 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 6: got to a point. This tells you how untenable it 203 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 6: was that he walked away. I mean, that tells you 204 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 6: how bad the situation was. 205 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: But very unusual. 206 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 4: Indication about how bad. 207 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 5: I'm asking questions for both sides, you know what I mean, 208 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: just trying to see because I haven't spoken to Ben 209 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 5: and I haven't got the exact information as to what 210 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 5: he left. 211 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: You've just told us a few reasons. 212 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 5: Bronco's captain Adam Reynolds addressed teos exit this afternoon on 213 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 5: Triple M. 214 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, still a bit at shock, don't know exactly what 215 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 10: went on, but wonderful coach. A lot of the success 216 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 10: we had last season's due to bend and we don't 217 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 10: know exactly what goes on or what went on. No 218 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 10: doubt discussions can become heated at times, but I don't 219 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 10: see that as anything out of the ordinary. So yeah, obviously, no, 220 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 10: it's a huge loss. He's a big part of our squad. 221 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 10: He's a big part of our team, you know, a 222 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 10: big reason why our defense is the way it is. 223 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 10: And yeah, still a bit in shocked. You know, he's 224 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 10: a great coach and no doubt we'll be a great 225 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 10: coach in the future. 226 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 5: Now for the interesting part, and probably the most important here, 227 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 5: is how the players react, how they're feeling. Do they 228 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: just carry on and how do they perform this week 229 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 5: with the news of their assistant, which apparently they have 230 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 5: a great relationship with. 231 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 8: Moving on you think though, That's what I mentioned it 232 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 8: last night and passing Alan Laker is the best guy 233 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 8: to bring a group together. That's why in Origin he 234 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 8: is so good when guys, you know, just bringing a 235 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 8: dressing room together, I don't know, they're professional, right, there's. 236 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 9: Players leave, Penn's pays done. 237 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 8: You know they said that he's going to saw she 238 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 8: got Ben Hunt probably playing his last year. Adam Reynolds 239 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 8: you're paid to play foot you I reckon within those 240 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 8: four wars, I reckon, they've got to address it right, 241 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 8: But then they move on as one. 242 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 7: The interesting thing is going to be is that the 243 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 7: rectric out of Brisbane for the past six or months 244 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 7: or a bit longer. Bean Ter was probably the buffer 245 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 7: between Mage and the players a little bit in terms 246 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 7: of the message in and softening sometimes the message in 247 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 7: that was being delivered. So whether or not that has 248 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 7: an impact on the side is going to be interesting. 249 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 6: Football as a residient, right, I mean, all sorts of 250 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 6: drama happens, and forty clubs and footy players find a 251 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 6: way to get through it and sometimes this sort of stuff. 252 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 4: Galvin was a playing group. 253 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 5: Have we heard where Beno may land after leaving the Broncos. 254 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 5: Does he have anywhere to go? Is there any possible 255 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 5: opportunities for him elsewhere? 256 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 7: He could go to the Queens. You can join the 257 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 7: Queens coaching if he really wanted to. 258 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 5: What about the rumors of South Sydney, his relationship with 259 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 5: Wayne paynehas going there? 260 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: Is that a possible landing spot. 261 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 4: I wouldn't rule it out. 262 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 6: He almost went there a few years ago and I 263 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 6: think Benn would be happy to move back to Sydney. 264 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 6: I wouldn't rule out. They've got a great relationship. He 265 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 6: talks to Wayne and you know, as I said, they've 266 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 6: got a great relationship. So I wouldn't put a line 267 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 6: through that. 268 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: I know. 269 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: I don't think that that is to happen. 270 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: It won't happen this year because their starts pretty settled, right, 271 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 6: But if there's changes next year. 272 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: You wouldn't be surprised. Ben was ITTs the house, but 273 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: a game break. 274 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 6: We're in a moment in time right now whe there's 275 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 6: a lot of coaching movement. There's going to be at 276 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 6: the end of this season. You've got P and G 277 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 6: Perth and filled out the coaching staff. Cow was mainly 278 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 6: all sorts of rumors around these FOOTA clubs. Jobs will 279 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 6: open up. He will get a job because he's highly regarded. 280 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 9: Maybe a chef's gone back to Redcliffe. 281 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 8: He's got a young family that's probably settled in Brisbane 282 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 8: as well. 283 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 5: Paying hearts ruled out for this week's game. Big loss 284 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 5: for Brisbane. Always is any update on the injury. 285 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: You are looking at each look have an answer. 286 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 6: Well, I imagine this just a one week thing. I 287 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 6: don't know for sure, but knowing pain now tough years 288 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 6: doesn't miss a lot of foot He very rare that 289 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 6: he does and he's got to be pretty significant him 290 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 6: not to play. 291 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 4: But I'd imagine he'd be back next week. 292 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 5: Last year he probably would have played, right or would 293 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 5: you think because he played with that what did he 294 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 5: get that bread? 295 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm just asking what are he's saying, You guys are 296 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,239 Speaker 1: all on eggshelves. 297 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 7: I'm getting much that well, he did play through pain 298 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 7: last year. I think Gordy was at pains to suggest 299 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 7: that he should have had a couple of games, had 300 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 7: to break droughing origin, so maybe this is their way 301 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 7: of nursing him through the year this year. 302 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: Breaking news from Dave Rickyo has just come through. 303 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 5: Sharks have re signed Craig Fitzgibbon until twenty twenty nine 304 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 5: and Fitsy congratulations, what a champion. He is doing a 305 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 5: great job with the Sharks and been rewarded with an extension. 306 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 6: Outstanding coach, brilliant coach, Craig Fitzgibbon. You know he's done 307 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 6: an amazing job as you said with Cronulla on you 308 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 6: know he's had a club that doesn't have great facilities, 309 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 6: limited budget, but you know he competes for the big 310 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 6: boys weekend work out. It's well deserved. I think it 311 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 6: was always going to happen. There's been a lot of 312 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 6: rumous about him and the roosters playing around. 313 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this just puts it puts it to bed. 314 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 5: Now twenty three the russ lost in the weekend, They've 315 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 5: locked fifty in. 316 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 7: It's a really interesting time for Can given the players 317 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 7: that they've got off contract now heading into next season, 318 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 7: He's given this group every opportunity to prove that they're 319 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 7: premiership win inside. I don't think they are. I don't 320 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 7: think they can win the comp with their current group 321 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 7: of players. 322 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 5: That's the mean dollar question, and every Sharks fan, every 323 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 5: rugby league supporter would be probably thinking the same thing. 324 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: How do they get to that next level. 325 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 7: They need to. I think they need a REGI it. 326 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 7: I don't think they can win a competition with their one, 327 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 7: six and seven. I think break Blaye Brailey is elite. 328 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 7: I think Adam fanol Blake's off the pace to start 329 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 7: the season compared to the lofty standards which he set 330 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 7: throughout his career, and I don't think the Nico heines 331 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 7: bradon trendle combination. 332 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 3: He's working. 333 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 7: I think Brandon Trindle is a dominant playmaker and more 334 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 7: this year he's been more of a threat than nick. 335 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 7: I don't know where Nico's running game is gone, but 336 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 7: it's been non existent stuff just like in the. 337 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 8: X factor break and that's what most sides have. You know, 338 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 8: when they're going, they'll get in the grind, they fight 339 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 8: over a bone. But when someone can come and do 340 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 8: something out of nothing, they probably I. 341 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: Think it is they've got the X factor. 342 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 5: It's the X factor under the bright lights, big moments, 343 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 5: under pressure is the X factor. 344 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 7: Who do you consider X factor in that squad? Well, 345 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 7: I say Brayley as X factor. 346 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 5: Ray And and those guys even they have X factor. 347 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 5: You see it in week to week games like they 348 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 5: they went from Nicko. When was last last couple of 349 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 5: weeks It's been It's been a while, but normally you 350 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 5: see it throughout the season. You go these guys, you 351 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 5: know what, they almost suck you in. You think maybe 352 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 5: they can do it this year, right, but then they 353 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 5: fail when it matters. 354 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 4: After Week one, I was gone. 355 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 7: Brandon Trinda Will Kennedy amazing performance in Week one. Then 356 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 7: they go up against the Panthers and you got I'm saying, 357 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 7: really well, then they consider two tries in the last 358 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 7: five minutes of that first half to lose the game. 359 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 7: And then this game that was an embarrassing performance. 360 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 6: I don't want to talk out of school meet, but 361 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 6: we had we had lunch with Fits in the and 362 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 6: the Sharks in the preseason, and we ended up talking 363 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 6: about for luch. It was a pretty well did pay 364 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 6: for it. But lunch we're talking to fitz about about 365 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 6: their team, right, and I wasn't toddy. 366 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 4: It was very good though. 367 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 6: We're talking about their team and Fitz was saying it 368 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 6: sort of feels like they don't get the respect they deserve. 369 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 6: And I said, well, Fitzy, this is the problem you 370 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 6: set yourself. You've set such a high bar. Now they're 371 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 6: making the top four, that's just a pass mark. Like 372 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 6: they need to win, they need to win grand finals, 373 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 6: being grand finals, that's that's the bar he is set 374 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 6: with that football team. 375 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 4: And you know, if they don't get there. 376 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: That's that performance on the weekend as well off the 377 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 3: top four. 378 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 5: If anyone can get them there, it's Craig Fitzgibbons. So Fitty, 379 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 5: congratulations on the extension world I made. Anthony Cbold has 380 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 5: shrugged off the noise around his future at the Clubs 381 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 5: of Seagles prepare to take on their former club captain 382 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 5: Daly Cherry events. 383 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 11: Where it's really early days. I've been in this situation before. 384 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 11: Haven't lost two games to start the year, and the 385 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 11: coaching group, in the playing group, we haven't lost many 386 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 11: confidence in what we were doing and where we want 387 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 11: to go. And we'll get better the longer the season 388 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 11: goes on. And think regards himself. Yeah, like two games 389 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 11: into a two year extension, you know, the club showed 390 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 11: a lot of faith in me. I've felt a real 391 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 11: loyalty to stick around for the players and early days, 392 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 11: as I said, we'll get better. We'll welcome chairs instead 393 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 11: addressing room after the game. But yeah, tomorrow night he 394 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 11: season opponent. Now he's out of defence of the leader, Jake. 395 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 11: There's been a little bit of talk around stats, but 396 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 11: what people can't measure us, you know what he brings 397 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 11: to the group. Feel like he's made a sound star. 398 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 4: Regardless of the noise around. 399 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 5: Jake Anthony Cebhile, they're the coach of the manly Seagulls, 400 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 5: reiterating that he is only two games into two more 401 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 5: years that he has after resigning at the back end 402 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 5: of last year. 403 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: That's interesting that he brought that up. 404 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 6: Well, so the other night, brother, it's insite talking about 405 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 6: a blake after two games with the record he's got. 406 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 4: We brought up those percentages. 407 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: You're running with those. He didn't even know that was 408 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: his record. 409 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 6: Forty nine percent, pretty good. I think it was fifty 410 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 6: wasn't in the screen made the finals a couple of 411 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 6: years ago. I mean, his records better than a lot 412 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 6: of coaches in this competition in the past three years. 413 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 6: Yet we're talking about his future after two games. 414 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 4: I think it's for me, it's madness. 415 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with Ready, Like, there's no doubt he's under 416 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 7: the pump and under pressure and there if they start 417 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 7: zero and three with three home games at Brookie, like, 418 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 7: I think you could almost kiss the finals goodbye because 419 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 7: of the amount of work they're going to have to 420 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 7: do at the back end of the year, the amount 421 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 7: of travel they're going to have to do as well. 422 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 7: So it's a huge game against the Roosters. But for mine, 423 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 7: he shouldn't be under pressure. But he's definitely under scrutiny. 424 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 7: Did they jump the gun by re signing, Well, if 425 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 7: we're talking about him leaving, then probably. If he doesn't, 426 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 7: if he doesn't make it through the first of two years, 427 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 7: then no doubt. But I was comfortable with him. You 428 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 7: get in a twelve month extension because of what Reedi said, right, 429 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 7: like where they were at and how the side had 430 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 7: performed over thelast couple of seasons, but two years, like, 431 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 7: I feel. 432 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: Like clubs do this. 433 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 7: Right. 434 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 4: I think it gives it does an illusion, right, it. 435 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: Cost the money in the end. 436 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 3: Yes, it depends on the power clause, right, but it does. 437 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 7: It does cost the money. 438 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 4: The club's thing. 439 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 6: It's a bit like we spoke about it Monday night. 440 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 6: It's a bit like Flannel and Saint George. Right, they 441 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 6: gave me an extension because I think it gives the 442 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 6: perception of stability. But when you lose, it doesn't matter 443 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 6: how long's left on your contract. There's no stability. 444 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 5: And if you're losing when you sign the upgrade, that 445 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 5: confuses me and the extension. Trent Robinson is hoping Dali 446 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 5: Cherry Evans remembers to go in the visitors sheds tomorrow 447 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 5: night as he returns the brook rail, turn. 448 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: Right, not left. 449 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: I mean, he's a professional. 450 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 12: He's been pretty clear going back to the ground where 451 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 12: he's played probably one hundred and fifty odd games. We 452 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 12: want to see that as a benefit. I never like 453 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 12: to ask radio tell me all the secrets, so I 454 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 12: don't think that's right. Any cues that you can give 455 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 12: about ground and opposition player that you're facing, then he 456 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 12: can offer that. But you definitely don't ask for the playbook. 457 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 12: That's that's not the right thing to do. It's really 458 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 12: good to have Lauren here, you know, head coach of 459 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 12: the French team, and we had the French president out 460 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 12: and we want to improve the French game. France is 461 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 12: an outlier that's been a really important out post since 462 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 12: nineteen thirty four in the game, and Laurent and Dominique 463 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 12: and that are flying the flag for it. 464 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 5: Robbie talking about France rugby league there and the other 465 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 5: night you said that you'd heard rumors that he may 466 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 5: want to go back down at. 467 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 4: The end of his career. At the ind of his career, 468 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 4: he was passionate. 469 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 8: We went over there with the kangaroo, yeah, and we 470 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 8: trained against the French and he was there and obviously 471 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 8: he speaks French, but he's got a lot of passion. 472 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 5: For these wise French and kids French school but on 473 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 5: a miscriding. 474 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 4: But did he say it's not the right thing to 475 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 4: do to ask for the playbook? 476 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 3: I think it is the right thing to do, the 477 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 3: first thing I'd be doing. 478 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 9: No, you don't ask for it, You just wait for 479 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 9: it to get handed to you. From days. 480 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 6: You've got Daily's intelligence on Manly, why would you not 481 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 6: use every piece of that. 482 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 5: Robbo leaves no stone unturned, so it'd be shocked if 483 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 5: he didn't ask DC. You've had a few of their players, 484 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 5: or what do you expect when they play against them? 485 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 9: Now? 486 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 5: The Rooster's halves, Ready, you wrote a story on them 487 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 5: the other day. You think they're under pressure already? 488 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: Here, Well, they're not playing well, breath. 489 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 6: I mean they obviously played well in week two, but 490 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 6: weeks one and three they were pretty poor. I think 491 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 6: they had won trisis between them so far this season, 492 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 6: and they're battling and you know, obviously. 493 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 4: They were bought. 494 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 6: There was documentary d C was bought in part to 495 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 6: bring out the best of Sam Walker, and we haven't 496 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 6: seen it yet, sadly, and I think Sam. I love 497 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 6: Sam Man, I love watching him player, I love the 498 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 6: way he plays the game. But he struggled a little 499 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 6: bit through the opening three rounds and it's just not gelling. 500 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 8: Well, how did it change? Do you give Sam number seven? 501 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 8: Let's say it's your team, DCE love you. You've got 502 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 8: to take the passenger seat. 503 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 6: Well, I thought that was what everyone perceived would happen, 504 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 6: but I think in week two d C looked as 505 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 6: though he was the boy running running the ship. 506 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 4: So and it worked. So I don't know. They're just 507 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 4: find a way that work, scored it and it's more compatible. 508 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 7: I'm less concerned about their attack and more concerned about 509 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 7: the defense because we always you always anticipated the attack 510 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 7: was going to take some time, given them the massive 511 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 7: changes there and the fact that Rhys Robson is only 512 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 7: played one game with the new halves as well, so 513 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 7: that was going to take some time. But it's the 514 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 7: defensive lapses, the amount of points their leaking and some 515 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 7: of the softness in the middle of the field that's 516 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 7: the concern for me. 517 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 5: They do have a vulnerability there in defense, and they've 518 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 5: got two targets with dce NCM Walker and when they're 519 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 5: not controlling the ball and they're having limited amounts of it, 520 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 5: they're defending more often than what they usually would and 521 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: then they're under. 522 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: Pressure and they're falling fiut. 523 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 5: So that now on Sunday Night with Maddie John's DC 524 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 5: will be on that to make sure to tune into 525 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 5: that new Rabbit o CEO Blake Swee has confirmed the 526 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 5: club's moved allions, while Rus's case Trent Robinson, well he's 527 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 5: welcomed it. 528 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 13: I think the first discussion we had with the government 529 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 13: and the Anneral about moving games allions was in August 530 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 13: twenty twenty, so it's about five and a half years. 531 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 13: It's a great result for the taxpayers in New South Wales, 532 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 13: the Rabbit O's and venues. 533 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 3: We're bringing games back. 534 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 13: Into Sydney that have been played out of New South 535 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 13: Wales and we get more games at Allion Stadium, which 536 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 13: is what we've been pushing for right from the start. 537 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if we had to convince the Roosters. 538 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: I suspect if it was up to. 539 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 9: Then we wouldn't be there. 540 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 12: Like that's obviously, that's it's been going on for a 541 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 12: while it's a it's a political decision there about playing 542 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 12: the games and stadiums that we played at and used 543 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 12: and for the good of the people, and we'll keep 544 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 12: playing here what we always have for one hundred and 545 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 12: eighteen years now. 546 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 5: I think we mentioned years raven As to have four 547 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 5: home games at Alians in twenty twenty seven and five 548 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 5: for each year after that. 549 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: This is a big win from the Bunnies. 550 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 5: They were very passionate about it and me myself, being 551 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 5: a Bunny supporter growing up, we'd love going to the 552 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 5: Alliance and the Create Ground and watch the Bunnies play. 553 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: So I'm sure their fans are over the moon with 554 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: this one. 555 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 8: I think it's fantastic. The best stadiums. I just put 556 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 8: it in the fan basket. The fans deserve to go 557 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 8: to the best stadium to watch footing and that's probably 558 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 8: one of the best stadiums in this country. 559 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: For what was the hold up here? 560 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 5: Why it takes so long for this, and because I 561 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 5: know the Roosters and Nick were just adamant they didn't 562 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 5: want them there. 563 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: So he'd be feelthy. Let's be honest, what was the 564 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: hold up and how did we get to hear. 565 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 4: Well, they did have a contracted place at the Core Breath, 566 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 4: a long standing contract. 567 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: So they got out of that contract, haven't they, Well 568 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: not all of it. 569 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 6: There's obviously plays some games still at the Core Stadium, 570 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 6: but that contract's been. 571 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 4: You know what I want, I hope their first home game. 572 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 6: I just want to see them cover up the rooster's 573 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 6: logo outside the ground probably will just see the rooster's 574 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 6: reactions from the Cause of War team on it put 575 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 6: visiting team when they score. 576 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 3: That was a reaction that was a bit of fun. 577 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 7: I love it like it is the genuine rivalry in 578 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 7: the game, where the admin staff hate each other, the 579 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 7: players hate each other, the fans hate each other. 580 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 4: So except for that one Ruster's fan who ran on, 581 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 4: oh yeah. 582 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's yeah, bring it on, I love it 583 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 3: all right. 584 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 5: What about the Battle of the West, the Panthers taking 585 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 5: on the Eels, the Panthers Premiership favorites. The Eels are 586 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 5: coming off two wins from three to start the year, 587 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 5: which is good for them, and I mean they're going 588 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 5: to be hard to beat the Panthers. It is exclusively 589 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 5: live right here, Saturday, five point thirty pm. Cannot wait 590 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 5: for this it's going to be a hard one day 591 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 5: for Para as well as they're going. 592 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: These guys are the real deal. 593 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 8: Yeah, obviously Penrith are. They're the best one in the 594 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 8: competition quite far at the moment. But in saying that, 595 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 8: it is a battle of the West and they bring 596 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 8: the best out of paramatter Paramatta, we're good on the 597 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 8: weekend without being great. They're gonna have to pick up 598 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 8: their act. But I think Penrith will bring the best 599 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 8: out of them. But you have to lean towards. 600 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 7: Penrith on have we seen Penrith. I know they won 601 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 7: four consecutive comps. This are far ahead of the rest 602 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 7: of the pack becaus look at the three sides. They 603 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 7: beat Brisbane, Cranulla and the Roosters and if in the 604 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 7: preseason a lot of people would have had him in 605 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 7: the top four and they've blown off the park. They 606 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 7: haven't even been close to beating I don't think I've 607 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 7: seen anything like it as comprehensive as they've been there. 608 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 7: They're so far ahead of the competition it's scary. 609 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 5: It is scary because normally at this time of the year, 610 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 5: if you're talking up a team Evan, we'll go well 611 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 5: it's just round three. 612 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: We're going around forty. But honestly, like they they are 613 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: clear favorites already. 614 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 5: They look so good and even when they get injuries 615 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 5: Penrith there's such a good system and they've got good depth, 616 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 5: so they kind of cover it even if they do 617 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 5: have a couple of injuries throughout a year and they've 618 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 5: got Toungua. 619 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: Not even playing, you know, like it's Martin. 620 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 9: Tomy. 621 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 6: Jenkins looks like an Origin player the way and that's 622 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 6: you know, the great Melbourne teams. You could plug bikes 623 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 6: in those teams and suddenly they become superstars. And Penrith 624 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 6: have developed that quality. You can plug a bike in 625 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 6: there like Milky Jenkins. It looks like a superstar, right, 626 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 6: So that's the mark of great coaching and a great team. 627 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 5: But what's with the Panthers six again strategy? It's they've 628 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 5: been they've come up with. 629 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not new. 630 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 7: I think for the last couple of years Melbourne and 631 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 7: Penrith are giving away the most six agains. But speaking 632 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 7: to a rival coach today and I was asking, what's 633 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 7: the benefit of giving out a six again so early 634 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 7: in the tackle count? 635 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: And they said it's twofold. 636 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 7: If you give away the set restart, it doesn't matter 637 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 7: because your defensive line set and your next tackle, you're 638 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 7: going to have line speed and you're going to be 639 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 7: able to get up. 640 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: In the defensive line. 641 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 7: If you don't give away a set restart, well, then 642 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 7: you win that play, the ball and your line set. 643 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 7: So it's a win win situation that rival clubs have 644 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 7: noticed that Penrith probably do it more often and better 645 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 7: than the rest of the competitions. 646 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 8: If they give one away early in the set, the 647 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 8: referees not as prepared to give it give it again later. 648 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 9: That's what there's a theory out there. Breath. 649 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 6: They've been the masters of the dark arts for a while. 650 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 6: In their pennant, what are you trying to say, bend 651 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 6: the rules? The great teams do break Melbourne as I said, 652 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 6: did it. We're talking the great Melbourne sizes they. 653 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 9: As well. 654 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 4: Doesn't have to worry, I said, I said, the great sides. 655 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 3: What you're worried. 656 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: Then you've just gone. 657 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 6: It's a great cache. It was a differentiation. 658 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: The cameras are a. 659 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 5: The NRL has worn against the Eels obstruction tactic that 660 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 5: we've seen in the papers and everyone's been talking about. 661 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 5: I'll read through it now. If the opinion of match officials, 662 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 5: one or more players take up positions with the intent 663 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 5: to interfere with an opponent's ability to compete for the ball, 664 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 5: such action would be deemed an obstruction. 665 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 7: We saw on the week paramot circling pretending to catch 666 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 7: the ball, and uh. The NRL had identified more teams 667 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 7: doing it, but none as quite as obvious as Paramatters. 668 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 7: As we can see, when the bomb goes up, they circle, 669 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 7: they pretend to get themselves in catching positions. 670 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 3: Old hands up and so that's going to be illegal now. 671 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 7: So regardless, if you're getting yourself in a position I 672 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 7: guess to try and catch the ball and you no 673 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 7: chance of getting it, that's going to be a penalty 674 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 7: from now one. 675 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: Okay, it's going to be a penalty from now on. 676 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 5: The NRL have not changed the rule, but just reminded 677 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 5: clubs of its Yes. 678 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 8: Well, if they're not looking at the book, what's doing 679 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 8: for trying? 680 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 7: Talking about the dark arts, that's a good one. The 681 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 7: dark art you can you can get away with. 682 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, a little lobes in that.
