I 39 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 5: actually felt embarrassed to be around the guys that was 40 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 5: took That wasn't about Tedesco. That was about if I 41 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 5: got called back in the camp with being overlooked and 42 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,919 Speaker 5: the captaincy taken off me, I would have a funny, 43 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 5: guilty embarrassing. 44 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: Sure Teddy has handled this whole thing enormous class texting 45 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: Dylan Edwoods originally wishing him the best would have been 46 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: shattered losing the cap. 47 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 6: And see, but guarantee you when I'm. 48 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: Just telling you right now, he's going to feel like 49 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 5: he did when it's his first jersey to get in 50 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 5: this jersey back and then that's what I'm trying to 51 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 5: get her. 52 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: He said that he'd be embarrassed. I was not sure exactly. 53 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: Now it makes sense to me, right and I understand 54 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: what Gord he's saying. God, he's spot on. He and 55 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 1: this has just been honest. You wouldn't feel the same 56 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: if you get called back in after being dropped you 57 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: were the second option. And listen, I've got no doubt 58 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: Teddy's going to have a great game and he and he. 59 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: You know he just missed out. We all know that, 60 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: and he is blue through and through. But there would 61 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: be a not I. 62 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: Wouldn't even know if it's embarrassment, but you know, it'd 63 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: be a little bit of a bit of a pill 64 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: to swallow in your head. 65 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 3: Back, disagree with you, two guys. More, who wants to 66 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: play now? Game two? He wants to play Game three. 67 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: He wants to remain in the Australian Cap for the 68 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 3: end of the year, and he wants to steer the 69 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: roosters in we all do well. 70 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 5: Well. 71 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: You were sorting to suggest we've both played origins, we've 72 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: both been drink I know the feeling. 73 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: Okay, I won't have an opinion, but been rejected. 74 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 5: Have you ever been rejected? 75 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 6: Many many times I make it for the night club 76 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 6: or I felt ordinary. 77 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: That's the point. But that's always that's all. There's always 78 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: someone's questioning. 79 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 6: Whether you said he'd be embarrassing. 80 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 5: He might be. I said I would be embarrassed. 81 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 4: I don't think it's any doubt he'd feel a little 82 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: bit awkward when he first got into camp. But once 83 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: he's in camp, he knows all those guys, played a 84 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 4: lot of football with them. They always think, but he 85 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: knows those guys. But I think he's settled quickly and destroyed. 86 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 4: But I'm sure initially there was maybe a little bit 87 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 4: of discomfort there with Ja. 88 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: I mean, JA said no. 89 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 6: He could have said no, I'm going to retire, you can. 90 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: He could have want some time for Australia at the 91 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: end of the year. 92 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 6: That's what I'm talking about. He'll be, he'll be fine. 93 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: He was never going to say no. He could have. 94 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: He would never be really. 95 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: Upset at in the first said no, they could have 96 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: moved right in for I don't know what they would 97 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: have done. 98 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: That would have been interesting. Yeah, but you're happy now 99 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure you wanted Edward. 100 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: No, I can't work you too out, saying you might 101 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: feel awkward and it might affect you. 102 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 5: Know, that's how we feel. So you're telling me that 103 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 5: I wouldn't feel that way. 104 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 6: No, I have not played on like you too. 105 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 5: Just rejection in general. Buzz. 106 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: Okay, let's move on from or not move on from it. 107 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: If he plays great, he brains at New South Wales win, 108 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: does he stay in the. 109 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: Team or do they go back to Edwards. 110 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: Well, that's that's the difficulty at all, is the breath, 111 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 4: because if he does come out and Brandon, I think 112 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 4: they're too far down the path. I don't think well, 113 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 4: I don't think Dylan Edwards will be fifth. He won't 114 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: play before game two. So if that's the case, I'm 115 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 4: not sure he could pick doll On Edwards in game two. 116 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 4: There's every chance he won't be back before then, so 117 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: I don't know you pick him. But if Teddy comes 118 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: out brain, it wins me on the match, they win 119 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 4: the game, but. 120 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 5: All signs of leading to that because Dylan's stating camp, 121 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 5: He's keeps on learning the plays, he's getting familiar with 122 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 5: what's happening in the organization. 123 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 4: I think it's a really difficult issue for them. But 124 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: I think you've gone down the path with Dylan. I 125 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 4: think Dylan's fit and he gets a game in before 126 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 4: Origin too and plays well, I think. 127 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: You've got to go back to it. 128 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: What if they scrape it in Teddy plays solid and 129 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: they just get a win yourself, well, then you change, 130 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: you change it. 131 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: I think change a winning team. Yes, buzz, And it's 132 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: too hypothetical. It really is has a hypothetical. 133 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 6: Because we don't know what it's. 134 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: See one on two things. 135 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm asking it's either he brains it and they win, 136 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: because if they lose, they'll go back edwards. Right, I'm 137 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: asking if he brains it, he kills it and I 138 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: was win, that's one side. 139 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: Or he just plays average and they win. What do 140 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: they do? It's only two options. Yeah, Well let's worry 141 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: about that Thursday morning. Best all of a sudden, All 142 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: of a suddenly, we're just going to wait to the result. 143 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give you I'll answer it hypothetically. If we win, 144 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: it's keep the same side. 145 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: Hallelujah. We got there eventually. Yes, I agree with you, Buzzy, 146 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: I want the same. I would keep the same. 147 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 4: I think you've made a decision to change, and I 148 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: think you just press on. If you think Dylan Edwards 149 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: is a better footballer, which clearly Madge does, then you 150 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: make the change. You've got to have your best team 151 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 4: and Dylan's in his best team according to Match. 152 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: There's a tricky one from Madge. 153 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: It's been a hard lead up to this first game 154 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: with a few injuries for New South Wales. There was 155 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: plenty of simp for Dillan Edwards in Blues camp today, 156 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: but they're backing Teddy to get the job done. 157 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 6: It's all done out sort of had had to move on. 158 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 7: He's still around the camp too, which I think is 159 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 7: credit to imagine the credit the dill as a person, 160 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 7: probably would have been easy to go and just hide 161 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 7: away home there for a couple of days, but still 162 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 7: front up, still doing his job for the team. Too 163 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 7: often you get someone not ted I think it's what 164 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 7: he played his twenty third game on the bounds. 165 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: Now as captain of the States. 166 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 7: You can feel that experience there so certainly gives the 167 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 7: players confidence to know and that something so happened late 168 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 7: in the camp that yeah, I think we can move 169 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 7: on and still perform it our best. 170 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: All right, we've covered New South Wales. Let's move on 171 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: to Queensland. 172 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: Now. 173 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: There is talk out of Queensland camp or definitely from 174 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: some of their greates, that they will target Nico Hines. 175 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: Have we heard anything about this or what are our thoughts, Gordy? 176 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 5: I think everybody gets targeted, targeted in State of Origins. 177 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 5: There's no doubt Nico with the twelve minute. He come 178 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 5: under a lot of pressure right after last year and 179 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 5: he's a fresh face. Let's just say that he's making 180 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 5: his debut, he's starting. There's no doubt everybody will get 181 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 5: pressure put on him. 182 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: But everyone gets targeted, everyone gets started, everybody. 183 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: But when you're you've had the one appearance like Niko's, 184 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk about it. He is 185 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: a key playmaker and a key position. You don't think 186 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: there's a little bit more emphasis on focus on him? 187 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 5: Well, the rumor last year was defensively he doesn't move laterally, 188 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 5: so yeah, there's no doubt if Respols gets on him. 189 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 5: You saw what respolse did depend within the Grand Final, 190 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 5: so there's no doubt they're going to run plays at him. 191 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 5: There's no doubt they're going to run traffic. I think 192 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 5: missed thirty tackles. 193 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: Think has been outstanding this year. 194 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 5: N he's got to do it again on Wednesday. 195 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: And you're to that first game against the Warriors. You 196 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: saved a couple of tries close to the line, they 197 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: come from behind to win. I'm not the slightest bit 198 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: concerned about his And there's no great playmaker who does 199 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: not get targeted. 200 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: They all do. 201 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: They don't go at him early and often you'd be 202 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: shot mad. They've got to get they've got to go 203 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 4: after him and test him, test not just his physical 204 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 4: strength but his mental strength because you know, we obviously 205 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 4: spoke to Nico last week and he was saying there 206 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 4: were no demons after the game last year, and you 207 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 4: know they all they moved form suggested that there was, yes, 208 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 4: and you've got to put lots of pressure on him 209 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: as much as you possibly can. 210 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely, actually Client has got the gig for Origin one 211 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: over Adam gw Adam G refereed the Grand Final in 212 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: a performance by Adam that was one for the ages. 213 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the best referee games 214 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: I've ever watched, and he hasn't got the job. 215 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 3: So what's happening here? I cannot believe this decision. I 216 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: spoke to Graham Ansley last night and I saw it. 217 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: I said, what are you doing? Why is Adam g 218 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: who had the best Grand Final I've ever seen from 219 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: any referee, kept the penalty's minimum, great game of Fordy. 220 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: We all wrapped him. 221 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 6: What's he done wrong? 222 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 5: I can't remember you got who did the origin last year? 223 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: Client would have done it. Yeah, well, but you know what, 224 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: he's not even stand by referee. They've got Jerry Sutton there. 225 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 6: I think it's crazy. 226 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 2: The reason then he spoke, he spoke to what was 227 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: the reason? 228 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 6: He said, it was really really tight. 229 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 3: There's two or three who are basically the same. We've 230 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 3: looked at stance, We've looked at everything. 231 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 4: I said, what he did in the Grand Final shouldn't matter. 232 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 5: It is because that's a big game. That's the biggest 233 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 5: game of. 234 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: The six months ago. 235 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 5: That was the last question. 236 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 4: So what you hotually, Client's referee big games? Just saying 237 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 4: it's refereed origin. I'm sure is is he re three 238 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 4: Grand finals? I'm sure he has, like he's referee. 239 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if you referee the Grand Final six month 240 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: game of the year and had one of the best performance. 241 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: Do you get sack? 242 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 6: Who did did he do the big World Cup games to? 243 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: They weren't World Cup games but Transitatsman games Australian New 244 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: Zealand And it. 245 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: Doesn't matter again, I'll be confused. 246 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 4: It was six months ago, Brak, So what referee big 247 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: games as well? 248 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 5: The last week? 249 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: How do you want to go back? 250 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 5: That was the last week he was the number one 251 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 5: referee has around the premiership Las Vegas. 252 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: He made a major mistake in Vegas, major mistake has 253 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 3: made this year. 254 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 4: Haven't sat there and listed every referee mistate this year. 255 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: I don't care about. 256 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 4: Reference much hasn't out to you? Then I know there's 257 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: been some one this year. I don't know who's made them. 258 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: I don't sit there and documentary for every referee. You 259 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: don't need to do to just been poor this year, right, 260 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 4: I don't know what. It doesn't matter, but I'm saying 261 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: what he did six months ago doesn't. 262 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 8: It doesn't matter because that was the grand fall because 263 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 8: she Clon's referred Origin down back to the biggest clonferen. 264 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 5: Was was it? 265 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: That's how we did big games. Never did well in 266 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 4: the last peak. 267 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 5: That's what Bill Harrigan got the State of Origin. That's 268 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 5: why he's got the Grand Final. But that said, he 269 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 5: was the best big game. 270 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 4: Referee because he was the best referee, not that he 271 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 4: was that Europe. He was also the best big game. 272 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 5: Well I got sent off saying that Stephen Clarke was 273 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 5: better than him, more than a little bit more. But 274 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 5: that was the thing that got under his the most. 275 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 4: You can't give him like a job because he did 276 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 4: well six months ago. 277 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 5: We can't, No, you Can't's agreed to selected. 278 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: It's agreed Big game Origin players and the Origin players 279 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: referee refereed Origin and then the good John. 280 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 2: When we started talking about a player. 281 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: Yes, okay, let's actually not a player yet. The hype 282 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: around Origin are we feeling is a core stadium sold out? 283 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 2: We think and everyone's brought into this game. One in 284 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: New South Wales. 285 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: I just got a text from the NRL. They're eighty 286 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 3: thousand plus. They're pretty close to sellout. They're competing against 287 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: the Matilda's this week he played a night and sold 288 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 3: the stadium out. So it's pretty big performance for game one. 289 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: Cost of living crisis. Now, the average rugby league punter 290 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 3: says for weeks and weeks and weeks for ticket to 291 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: this game, and I think it's a big effort to 292 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: sell out. 293 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 2: Before I got that news, I just felt the game 294 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: like a little bit of hype rounds isn't. 295 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 5: It's because New South Wales are up in the Blue Mountains. 296 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 6: I think. 297 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: Maybe they had not. They haven't been visible. Let's be honest. 298 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: You go to Queensland orangin week, everybody's different, a different 299 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: beast I've got. 300 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 4: So you've got a couple of coaches who don't like 301 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 4: players really sticking it to each other as well, which 302 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 4: I reckon doesn't help with the hype. 303 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: That's true. So you think they've been a little bit tame. 304 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 4: With the med I think it has been well. Gordy's 305 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 4: had the fly everyone he has. 306 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what will be interesting the television ratings 307 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: on Thursday morning, because ratings. 308 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: Have been in declinent for this game for some time. 309 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 6: It'll be very very interesting. 310 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 3: But they've done well, and you know what the mc 311 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: dur You sold sixty five thousand seats already, You. 312 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: Had any call on this morning. 313 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: You're worried about the scheduling, you're worried about injured stars. 314 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: At the moment, what are you worried about?

We 318 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: dragged the thirty six Origin players out of the competition. 319 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: They don't eat side, and we've also got one hundred players. 320 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 3: We've got seventy odd players out injured this cleary.

I suppose what's happening here. 502 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: He's moving from the West Tigers. Yeah, it makes a 503 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: mid season move to the Manly Seagulls. Can someone please 504 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: explain to me how this has happened. 505 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 4: Well, Carl Lawton's leaving the end of the year. They 506 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 4: need to back up hooker and Jake Simpkins available. The 507 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 4: West Stories are cleaning the club out and he's been 508 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 4: made available. They've got him relatively cheap. The Tigers dore 509 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 4: Chips some money in. He's a handy pickup. 510 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: We're mainly desperate for Simkin. 511 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: Well, they were desperate for backup in the hooking position 512 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 4: next year or next year for next year. But he's 513 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 4: come for basically nothing. 514 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: Trying to join the Dots. Yeah, I know where you're going, 515 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: like I'm trying to join the Dots. 516 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's where you're trying to go. 517 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: I am I don't know. 518 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 3: The coach and he manages the hook and that's where 519 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: you're going. But you couldn't say it. So I'm asking you. 520 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: We are you asking me? What are you asking me? 521 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 5: Well? 522 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 4: His manager, Yes, it's the coach's funny. 523 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 8: How much I don't know. I don't know financial terms. 524 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 8: I don't know the financial terms. But four I think 525 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 8: that's the four hundred season. Mainly probably, I'd say that 526 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 8: West Tigers will be heavy. 527 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 4: He's been paid for you already. 528 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 2: Don't get angry at me, ready, but I'm. 529 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 4: Just pointing out it's been paid for that now. Really 530 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 4: it's a handful, all right, let's move on there more 531 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 4: than slightly. 532 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 2: Where is Sea Bowl's contract talks with Manly? 533 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: This is also interesting because they started the season so 534 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: well and he looked like he was going to do it, 535 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: was doing an amazing job and had turned the tide 536 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: there mainly, but what's where that now? 537 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: They looked the top four club, didn't they? 538 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 5: And so. 539 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 3: Seabold had an agreement with Scott Penn and with Mestrov 540 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: that they'd meet after round ten and start talking extensions. 541 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 3: They got to round ten and Manly had slipped over, 542 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: and you know, they hadn't achieved results on the scoreboard 543 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 3: that they were hoping for, well, perfectly within. 544 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 5: At the moment. But if they go on to play 545 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 5: the finals and he starts next year, you would resign him. Yeah, 546 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 5: it's it's not Wayne Bennett like, They're not going to 547 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 5: jump out of the box and he can pick his club. 548 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 5: So I think if Anthony Seabolt didn't get it, I 549 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 5: don't think Mainly has to be that desperate at the 550 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 5: moment to sign a coach eighteen months out. 551 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 3: I think Sebes was very disappointed that nothing happened. I'm 552 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: told you know he walked out of the meeting not happy. 553 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 3: But I totally understand Manly wanted to put that hopeful 554 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 3: a little while reading. 555 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 5: Do you agree reading? 556 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw him going a man that on Wednesday 557 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 4: look pretty happy, actually. 558 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 5: Happy. 559 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I don't think.
