Speaker 1: Welcome to the Daily Telegraph and I Roll podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: Michael carry Ons and with me is David Riquel and
Speaker 1: Brent Reid. And how are we fellas? Look, before we
Speaker 1: get into the footy stuff, we're gonna have some big
Speaker 1: news around dinner at the end of the At the
Speaker 1: end of the show featuring Brent.
Speaker 2: Reid, I am wait, how are we You're going well?
Speaker 1: Going well?
Speaker 3: I've just rolled the slaves up. I still like I'm
Speaker 3: in the mood today.
Speaker 4: Boys pressure.
Speaker 5: Heading towards big game of a big round of footy,
Speaker 5: but also.
Speaker 4: To Origin three.
Speaker 1: Origin three. It's a bit weird when we discuss Origin
Speaker 1: at the moment because no dramas in your South Wales.
Speaker 1: All the dramas with you blex, no.
Speaker 4: No drama were Queenslanders.
Speaker 1: Queens drama drama A couple of change. We've got former
Speaker 1: players callings for the accident.
Speaker 3: So when there's changes is what's the Queensland is? What
Speaker 3: does that mean?
Speaker 4: I had no idea what he was talking about. Idea,
Speaker 4: But we are Queensland. It is true. Maxwell Law.
Speaker 1: Be able to translate Queensland speak for us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just it's a rallying call for the state
Speaker 4: but I just trying to get the state behind the
Speaker 4: team rather than turn on them.
Speaker 1: Cool. But the news this week, Dave you sort of
Speaker 1: kickstarted disregarding Zach Lomax. What's the layer of the land there?
Speaker 5: Look, I wrote a column Mickey and Redman about how
Speaker 5: I just didn't really understand.
Speaker 3: The sense of Zach going to Paramata, given how much
Speaker 3: has changed since he signed.
Speaker 5: With the Eels, requested the release from Saints, takes a
Speaker 5: pay cut, takes less money, wants to go play center,
Speaker 5: moves to the wing, becomes the game's best winger at
Speaker 5: this point in time, signs under Brad Arthur, Brad Arthur's
Speaker 5: no longer there, and there's all these little factors, and
Speaker 5: I thought it was just just doesn't make one hundred
Speaker 5: percent sense to me, and therefore wrote that column.
Speaker 3: It's led to.
Speaker 5: Look, my understanding is if Zach had his time over again,
Speaker 5: it probably would have taken his time. He probably wouldn't
Speaker 5: have rushed into the decision that he's made. Does that
Speaker 5: mean he is now not going to go to a PARAMOUNTA.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't me.
Speaker 5: Personally, I think it would be extremely difficult for Zack
Speaker 5: to get out of this contract.
Speaker 1: Almost impossible.
Speaker 5: There's no clauses, there's no real parameters of an emotional
Speaker 5: aspect to get out of it.
Speaker 1: The only way it could happen day is if the
Speaker 1: new coach goes, you're not for me. Yeah, and with
Speaker 1: the form that is in, you'd find that very very
Speaker 1: difficult to happen, right, But that would be the only way.
Speaker 1: The coach comes in and goes, look, okay, I could
Speaker 1: do without for whatever reason.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he could do with the new coach. The new
Speaker 5: coach might have a tie to another player. Yeah, that
Speaker 5: he goes, well, actually, I can get such and such
Speaker 5: in at three hundred and fifty thousand and just let
Speaker 5: Zack stay it.
Speaker 1: Say that's the only way. But I think Zack ends
Speaker 1: up for Paramatta next year. Yeah, look, my gup, phel
Speaker 1: is that too?
Speaker 4: Also?
Speaker 5: That doesn't Again, I'm not going to run away from
Speaker 5: the fact. Yeah, I'm a firm believer that Zach has
Speaker 5: a sense of cold feet about the situation because of
Speaker 5: everything that's changed.
Speaker 4: It's just going to be the gets to Paramatta and
Speaker 4: they struggle. Is he then unhappy and agitates again Nick
Speaker 4: during next year to get out and go back or
Speaker 4: somewhere else because we've seen when he's unhappy, he is unsettled,
Speaker 4: and that's why this change came about. He was unhappy
Speaker 4: playing on the wing and he wanted to change the scene.
Speaker 4: He wanted to go to a club that can win
Speaker 4: a camp. Well, at the moment, when you look at
Speaker 4: the ad, the Dragons are closer winning the comm than
Speaker 4: Paramatter are. Now, I don't think they are. I think
Speaker 4: Paramatters that's the ladder. It will be in a better
Speaker 4: position at the start of next year with Zach Lomax
Speaker 4: and their ranks. But if it doesn't go well, if
Speaker 4: it starts poorly, if the new coach can't get him
Speaker 4: on side, is he then unsettled and doesn't become an
Speaker 4: issue all through next year, which has the potential to
Speaker 4: become with.
Speaker 1: That well, we have seen him have issues with previous
Speaker 1: coaches in the past, right.
Speaker 4: I think who ever gets a job, well, I know
Speaker 4: I've spoken at least one of the coaches, and his
Speaker 4: first order of business is to sit down with that
Speaker 4: Lomax and resolve that situation and make sure he wraps
Speaker 4: around an arm around him and says, mate, I want
Speaker 4: you here. You're a key plank of me rebuilding this
Speaker 4: foota club, so that whoever gets the job, we should
Speaker 4: know soon enough. That should be their first order of business.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I suppose to that, though, read man, he's like,
Speaker 5: where does where does Zach Lomax now still want to play?
Speaker 3: Does he want to play at center?
Speaker 4: Still? It's the other issue they got to resolve with it.
Speaker 1: And and does he now actually still.
Speaker 4: Talking about what position he wants to play? Unbelievable. He
Speaker 4: went there to play center to power. He's going to
Speaker 4: power to play center, wasn't he? Yeah? And I know
Speaker 4: he's played great in the wing, but but that, but yeah,
Speaker 4: he's also very good.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, your is he well he's not down
Speaker 3: better at wing?
Speaker 1: He's no, No, he's nowhere near replicated that. He's performance
Speaker 1: and influence on a game like he has this year
Speaker 1: on the wing. It's not even he's a.
Speaker 4: Solid some good years.
Speaker 1: He hasn't he's been a solid center. He has not.
Speaker 2: He has not lived solid center years that solid and
Speaker 2: fifty zers.
Speaker 1: Now he's now he's one of the most influential players
Speaker 1: in the competition. That's right. He's gone from solid to
Speaker 1: one of them. He was playing reserve very last year, right,
Speaker 1: And yeah.
Speaker 4: He was he's knocked on the door previously.
Speaker 1: Really, I don't think you don't think he's ever been
Speaker 1: in serious contention. I think he's always been ear marked
Speaker 1: as a potential chosen. Yeah right, But I don't think
Speaker 1: he was ever seriously going to play for New South
Speaker 1: Wales over the last couple of years, and his forming
Speaker 1: this year is irresistible, an example of an example of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 4: An example of.
Speaker 5: That is when we did the story at the start
Speaker 5: of the year that Madge had phone Zach and said
Speaker 5: keep your form up.
Speaker 1: Everyone lost their mind.
Speaker 4: I think I did. Yeh suggested please pick him. Yeah
Speaker 4: you think doubt Jack.
Speaker 1: I think I think he's just proven himself to be.
Speaker 5: But to your point, you said earlier that he's going
Speaker 5: to Paramouna to play center. He's going to That's why
Speaker 5: he signed to play with Paramatta because that was under
Speaker 5: Brad Arthur.
Speaker 4: Well may end up there on the wing anyway.
Speaker 3: You see a winger now, I.
Speaker 4: Would imagine maybe Guo moves in the centers next year potentially.
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you can't play him.
Speaker 4: And if they keep him the complainment fullback, it works
Speaker 4: play on the wing and.
Speaker 5: You know what, you know what the next coach needs
Speaker 5: to do. He needs to be upfront and say, Zach,
Speaker 5: you've brained it on the wing. You're coming as a winger,
Speaker 5: so get your head around it. And if you don't
Speaker 5: like that, then that's when there'll be some agitation.
Speaker 1: And Zach will see you after you play for Australia
Speaker 1: on the wing October. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like it's have you actually seen a more influential wing?
Speaker 1: That's what I said the other way. I can't remember, no, no,
Speaker 1: I can't remember a guy that's on the wing that
Speaker 1: has been so influential when his team's.
Speaker 4: Results was pretty influent.
Speaker 1: We've seen better wingers Wendell Saylor, they're not, but they
Speaker 1: had such star players around them, right.
Speaker 4: They still change games.
Speaker 1: But I think, like the Dragons, a lot of their
Speaker 1: wins coming off the back of Saklomax. He is that
Speaker 1: influential in that team's performance at the moment. I can't
Speaker 1: remember a winger because you mentioned for Lao and Wendell
Speaker 1: they had stars across that side, right, so that.
Speaker 5: This bloke can kick and chase his own kicks Israel.
Speaker 1: Israel didn't do that.
Speaker 5: Climates can put a bomb up and and and and
Speaker 5: run eightys and collect it before. It's not that I
Speaker 5: don't start me on that, but that is what he's got.
Speaker 1: One of the best kicks, you know. Full credit to
Speaker 1: him to be able to, you know, brush aside all
Speaker 1: the outside noise and put the performances that he's had
Speaker 1: this year. And if I'm any coach, I'm picking him
Speaker 1: on the he's a form winger. I'm picking him frustrater,
Speaker 1: pinning for paramatter. I'm not even thinking about playing him
Speaker 1: at center unless there's an injury.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: I've had a couple of couple of conversations with Saints
Speaker 5: about it too, and they're they're really staying distant from
Speaker 5: the whole discussion.
Speaker 4: Like they don't you think they really are? Dave, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I do. I don't think in the background someone's going,
Speaker 4: mate the good your stayed no.
Speaker 1: Because no, I don't. Okay, No, I don't.
Speaker 3: I think to your point.
Speaker 5: That make great different sure, yeah right, yeah, I'm talking
Speaker 5: about management.
Speaker 4: Can someone be chipping in?
Speaker 5: I think I think from Zach's point of view, he said, look,
Speaker 5: I'm not it's wait wait for the paramattic coach to
Speaker 5: be announced. So we're at all lands and then after
Speaker 5: the State of Origin series, we may hear some more.
Speaker 1: Interesting It's an interesting one. Speaking of interesting ones already, expansion.
Speaker 1: What's the latest on there?
Speaker 4: You about it? You're the w a man. Well, obviously
Speaker 4: they've now call for expressions of interest. So they've sent
Speaker 4: out a criteria to the consortiums that want to bid
Speaker 4: to join the nrlot about a month to respond to that,
Speaker 4: and then I'll take about a month after that to
Speaker 4: make a final call on who comes into the competition,
Speaker 4: how they expand. But I mean, I think we've written
Speaker 4: about it several times. Perth or obviously obviously looks like
Speaker 4: they'll be the first cab off the rank in partnership
Speaker 4: with the Bears. Looks like that's being resolved, Mick hasn't.
Speaker 1: It's getting closer. They had some good meetings last week.
Speaker 3: Because Perth we're against it, Mick, Well, have they come
Speaker 3: back around?
Speaker 1: Well, I think they've all been told if you guys,
Speaker 1: if your bid is going to be considered seriously by
Speaker 1: the NRL, you need to link with the Bears. And
Speaker 1: the Bears have tempered their expectations a little bit. They
Speaker 1: had a key meeting last week in Sydney, which has
Speaker 1: resolved some of the issues. The Bears put a proposal
Speaker 1: to the w A bid over the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: The wa bid considered it on Wednesday, and I dare
Speaker 1: say that at some point they will formalize a partnership.
Speaker 1: It's interesting the fact that all the big parties or
Speaker 1: the head honchos of the big parties have been gagged
Speaker 1: by the NRL. That's the NBA now, so to prevent
Speaker 1: them from talking to us.
Speaker 3: It sounds like the paramount of board.
Speaker 1: Well, so that's so it might go a little bit
Speaker 1: quiet on expansion. So there's another When do they have
Speaker 1: to get there by the end of this month?
Speaker 4: They have to have four weeks or five weeks.
Speaker 1: Loosely, by the end of this month, they have to
Speaker 1: have their proposal back to the NRL. The NRL will
Speaker 1: liberate for.
Speaker 4: Enter rolls, told the clubs the existing clubs they want
Speaker 4: when it was solved by the end of the season,
Speaker 4: so by Grand Final days, so i'd imagine September at
Speaker 4: some point we'll have an announcement on who was in
Speaker 4: and went, how they plan to expand the roadmap to
Speaker 4: twenty teams, and who those teams will be. The cover
Speaker 4: of the competition. Yeah, PNNG South Island, New Zealm.
Speaker 1: Twenty Yeah, well what that twenty one looks like? What
Speaker 1: that twenty side looks like? Twentieth side looks like? So sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: Think we'll stop at twenty Wow. I think we'll keep
Speaker 4: going down the track, down the track. I think we'll
Speaker 4: get Yeah what I'm just twenty four, twenty two, twenty
Speaker 4: two eventually, Yeah.
Speaker 1: What year.
Speaker 4: In the game, I'll be long gone.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what won't exist if that's the case. Well,
Speaker 5: rugby union.
Speaker 4: Well they're going serious, yeah.
Speaker 3: Because we're going to have to pill for talent.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a segway there, beautiful day.
Speaker 4: I'm so well down. I'm saying another ten years beyond that,
Speaker 4: I think we'll expand again.
Speaker 1: Well speak on rugby union talent. A few clubs a
Speaker 1: little bit dirty. I guess over what's transpired over the
Speaker 1: last couple of days with some rugby union talent joining?
Speaker 4: Can you say?
Speaker 1: I really? Can you say?
Speaker 4: What's happened the one need to mark? Yeah, the one
Speaker 4: need to need to done? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ready, so we got it. Used to try and say
Speaker 1: that name because I was going to.
Speaker 5: Say more wang need to I was at the press
Speaker 5: comments yesterday when he spoke talk us to it readick.
Speaker 4: He was a bit deer in head lightish, but he
Speaker 4: handed him so quite well actually, given that.
Speaker 3: He was a bit deer in the head lightish, but
Speaker 3: he handled himself.
Speaker 4: Okay. You know, he looked a bit nervous on you know,
Speaker 4: because he had like fifteen journals hammering him about his
Speaker 4: switcher codes to rugby league.
Speaker 1: Usually get that in rugby. Are you saying, yeah, he wouldn't.
Speaker 4: But he's obviously going to the Olympics with the seventh
Speaker 4: team and then it'll come back and play rugby league
Speaker 4: for the Roosters. They're saying, you won't play, probably won't
Speaker 4: play a NURL this year. Mark's not ruling that out.
Speaker 4: I think he has aspirations potentially playing in the NRL,
Speaker 4: but he's got a bit of work to do because
Speaker 4: he hasn't played the game since he was a teenager,
Speaker 4: so it's not that easy.
Speaker 1: What about the the nerl's decision to allow him to
Speaker 1: play this year? Any issues?
Speaker 4: Yeah, little one. But there has been a precedent because
Speaker 4: Jared Haynes. When Jared Haynes came back to rugby league
Speaker 4: eight years ago after going to the NFL, and then
Speaker 4: he tried out with the Fijian right rugby sevens team.
Speaker 4: He started playing rugby league in August, so there was
Speaker 4: a precedent there, and the Roosters pointed that out as
Speaker 4: part of their submissions to the NRL to get market
Speaker 4: clearance to come back in August or July. So he's
Speaker 4: back in July. So I'd forgotten about that, to be
Speaker 4: honest with you. And when I heard that, I thought, well,
Speaker 4: there's a precedent there, and they've put some safeguards in
Speaker 4: to ensure that you can't just do this will and
Speaker 4: nearly you kind of players going from league to union,
Speaker 4: back to lead, back to year to have a multi
Speaker 4: ye deal, so you can't have played professional rugby league before,
Speaker 4: and you can't. He can't. Players can't play, he can't
Speaker 4: play sevens during the life of this deal. So he
Speaker 4: can't go off at some point where he's under contract
Speaker 4: of the Roosters and play rugby, for example, go to
Speaker 4: Japan and an off season come back. You can't do.
Speaker 4: That's an agree. He's agreed to that. So there's been
Speaker 4: no precedent set by this decision.
Speaker 1: So that would rule out someone like Sully Levalu, would
Speaker 1: it from doing that if if it's you haven't played
Speaker 1: league before, I think he's been away, like you think
Speaker 1: that he would have been away long enough.
Speaker 4: But he's coming back, I mean surely coming out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's a good point.
Speaker 1: And thought of that, Mick, because you had in the
Speaker 1: column last week that NURL clubs we're looking at him.
Speaker 1: It's I just think I.
Speaker 4: Think that I'm a looking a Sley for next year, though.
Speaker 1: I just wonder if this sparks it any idea what
Speaker 1: the roosters are playing.
Speaker 3: No one liked too Easy.
Speaker 4: I think there was some reported figures where they're around
Speaker 4: the four hundred or right, and saying.
Speaker 1: That I love it. I love the fact that, well
Speaker 1: I'm always intrigued by code hoppers, and saying I actually
Speaker 1: enjoyed when the NFL had the when the June thirty
Speaker 1: window got pushed to the first Monday in August and
Speaker 1: gave clubs a bit more scope to go all in
Speaker 1: at that back end of the year. When we had
Speaker 1: those late A lot of people didn't like that. I
Speaker 1: think I was probably in the minority of people that
Speaker 1: did enjoy those late season switches of you know, a
Speaker 1: bit of Pengline like where they were sort of parachuted
Speaker 1: in for club to try and win a premiership and
Speaker 1: go all in. I actually didn't mind it. It's more
Speaker 1: the successful clubs that do it, yeah, and the bottom
Speaker 1: feeders can sort of clear out some dead in their
Speaker 1: cap works for them and you know, for seasons going
Speaker 1: forward as well. I actually didn't mind it. So I
Speaker 1: don't know about total dispensations for rugby union players, but
Speaker 1: making allowances to allow him to go play potentially while
Speaker 1: were playing the Olympics and come back and finish the
Speaker 1: year off at roof as I don't mind it. I
Speaker 1: don't think he'll play an l this year.
Speaker 4: He's physically a big kid. Like physically that might be
Speaker 4: the problem been learning the game.
Speaker 3: It's going to be.
Speaker 5: It's going to be a massive call for a rooster's
Speaker 5: side on their way to a premiership at this point
Speaker 5: in time to drop a debutante from rugby union into
Speaker 5: the back line in August, two.
Speaker 1: Weeks before the semi Yeah, So I don't have a
Speaker 1: huge issue with it because I don't think he's going
Speaker 1: to have that influence on that on the rooster.
Speaker 5: Interesting the one Carter Gordon guys the side of the
Speaker 5: Gold Coast Titans. He's immediately to Wallaby fly half. He's
Speaker 5: currently in training with the Titans now. Des has declared
Speaker 5: yesterday that he's unlikely to be part of the NRL team.
Speaker 5: He'll start getting getting his education as far as NRL
Speaker 5: is concerned.
Speaker 3: Maybe play Queensland Cup this year.
Speaker 5: So another one to watch. Some wool warbrick outstanding for
Speaker 5: the Storm.
Speaker 1: Locky Miller had.
Speaker 3: A little go.
Speaker 4: It was pretty good to Locky Miller.
Speaker 1: He had some big games. It worked out well. Worked
Speaker 1: worked out well for Locky Miller.
Speaker 5: I mean he was he was nowhere with Rugby, comes
Speaker 5: to Chronolic, it's a contract, got another contract at the
Speaker 5: Knights and now he's playing in the English Super League.
Speaker 1: When we get Vegas formally announced, obviously we know the
Speaker 1: four clubs that are going. It was supposed to happen yesterday,
Speaker 1: the formal announcements Wednesday. Any any indication.
Speaker 4: Of when there's a chance tomorrow.
Speaker 5: They're trying to they're trying to lock in the external
Speaker 5: parts of the announcement and it's not necessarily about the
Speaker 5: four teams of which have been reported repeatedly.
Speaker 3: Panthers, Warriors, Sharks, Raiders.
Speaker 1: But it's more about all your teams are going, Dave,
Speaker 1: you just need the Dragons to go and be spreading yourself.
Speaker 4: To not be going.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you're locked in, mate, lottery there, you're locked
Speaker 1: in there. That's obviously there's going to be you can
Speaker 1: have that.
Speaker 3: Elements to how are you going to do this without asking?
Speaker 5: We're going to the listeners. We're going to Paris reading
Speaker 5: and three weeks, three weeks, two weeks next week.
Speaker 4: Two weeks Monday.
Speaker 2: Oh my lord, So how are you going to do this, Mick?
Speaker 2: How are you going to back? We can do it, mate,
Speaker 2: what at that time? We'll do it on our times exactly.
Speaker 1: You guys can do an Olympics podcast.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that's our last episode before we go where
Speaker 4: it's okay.
Speaker 1: You can whatever. I'll bring a briget in. Maybe we'll
Speaker 1: get the old crew back of Mobsy and Buzz. Some
Speaker 1: people have been asking for that. They're not happy with read.
Speaker 1: Let's take some questions that you my questions before we
Speaker 1: get to listen to questions, you're surprised. Biggest surprise of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Dogs at fifth, Dragons eighth, Souths at
Speaker 1: fourteen and it was at sixteen, which which were those
Speaker 1: surprise you the most in terms of their latter spot
Speaker 1: Rabbit ears at fourteenth, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say the same. Yeah, South supporting, I'd
Speaker 4: say dogs tip the dogs can last.
Speaker 1: I'd say doggy.
Speaker 3: That's did have the dogs the dogs last.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't go with the dogs.
Speaker 1: I think they put it up in there.
Speaker 3: In there, you sound like in their dressing room.
Speaker 1: Is that a that's what Flatters saying about me?
Speaker 3: Really army kick out.
Speaker 4: Would say dogs, that's deceptive of their fifth, but everything everything,
Speaker 4: less games than the Cowboys. Cowboys are actually above them.
Speaker 4: Take the buyers.
Speaker 1: I don't be saying negative mate, just their fifth at
Speaker 1: the moment. No, no, they're done, great job and not
Speaker 1: taking they can still win when.
Speaker 4: Sore tho.
Speaker 1: At this pointing in time they're fifth.
Speaker 4: That's not really okay.
Speaker 5: They're the biggest surprise or right Rabbits the Rabbits diabolical.
Speaker 1: Now they're finding a little bit of where do these
Speaker 1: sides to finish? Do we have dogs finishing in the
Speaker 1: top eight yep, yep, drag yep tick for me, Dragons
Speaker 1: in the top eight to finish the year? Nope, I've
Speaker 1: got no unlikely South top eight no no no and.
Speaker 4: Paramatta last sun Horne doing a great job at South.
Speaker 3: Do good jobs on your Benny Boy, good job, big game, mate.
Speaker 1: Big listening on his lay driver, listen to and Paramatta
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeenth? Will they finish above that?
Speaker 4: Above that? I'll move off the bottom Tigers second time?
Speaker 1: What about what did you say about the Tigers and
Speaker 1: get the spoon? Come on, what about? Well do they
Speaker 1: or not?
Speaker 4: Benjim? Trust mate?
Speaker 3: Do they get the spoon?
Speaker 1: I think of Titans? Who gets the spoon? The Titans? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Titans.
Speaker 5: They put the sixty six to six against the Warriors.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Queensland sides, we'll just focus on the decent ones.
Speaker 1: Which Queensland team will finish ahead on the ladder. So
Speaker 1: we've got Cowboys, Dolphins, Broncos. So we have to do
Speaker 1: our ladder as a couple of a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: This is the why I had him finish it. I
Speaker 1: had Cowboys at fifth, Bronco sixth, Dolphins missing the eight
Speaker 1: and finishing tenth. Where do you guys, if you have
Speaker 1: to rank them in terms of order at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, Who's Cowboys?
Speaker 4: Cowboys?
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 5: Cowboys arguably finish in the top four, top four. Wow,
Speaker 5: And I'll say this, there needs to be serious questions
Speaker 5: asked if this team doesn't get to a pre lim
Speaker 5: the Cowboys because their roster, they have six six origin
Speaker 5: players in that squad. This is your great and this
Speaker 5: is my this is my Pipagris' theorem. Right, that equates
Speaker 5: to Grand finals most years. And it's a squad capable
Speaker 5: of getting to a Grand final. They need to be
Speaker 5: getting to a prelim or nothing else.
Speaker 1: What about you? Ready?
Speaker 4: What? I think the Cowboys will finish high up the ladder,
Speaker 4: but I think the Broncos have got further in the finals,
Speaker 4: if that makes sense. Okay, so Cowboys not finished fifth
Speaker 4: or six. But I think Brisbane or.
Speaker 1: You said something interesting the other day they read it's
Speaker 1: the first.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well you have you had concerns the Broncos would
Speaker 5: miss the eight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's a genuine possibility.
Speaker 1: Is a possibility? Yeah yeah?
Speaker 4: If they make the eight though, I think they will,
Speaker 4: everyone will be back by then. I think they progress further.
Speaker 4: I think that they're a threat. For me, They're the
Speaker 4: only team currently in the bottom four that can win
Speaker 4: the Camp one of the roosters, the fourth of them,
Speaker 4: aren't they the orange him in the bottom four it
Speaker 4: can win the camp from outside the top.
Speaker 1: Four because they can get on a roll in the
Speaker 1: bottom for them. Renolds comes back and starts firing again.
Speaker 4: And the like.
Speaker 3: That's a big story.
Speaker 5: If the Broncos missed the that is massive. It will
Speaker 5: have a massive ramification.
Speaker 1: We don't have Dolphins in the eight.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: I actually, when I did, Marshall kings a massive blow Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I agree.
Speaker 4: When I did my lad, I had them in a
Speaker 4: four way tie from seventh to tenth and I think
Speaker 4: I'm coming tenth. Yeah, okay before the season begin six
Speaker 4: to eight works from Marshalls laughed at me about that.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get to the end of the season before
Speaker 1: we judge your top eights. What do you reckon?
Speaker 4: Also, so did I.
Speaker 1: I think I had Newcast on it too.
Speaker 4: You got you got the nights last year.
Speaker 1: I could have mainly Top.
Speaker 3: That's the one I had mainly nowhere, I had mainly Top.
Speaker 4: Newcast is the one that could hold.
Speaker 5: That's a good Sunday afternoon game Raiders nights This Sunday,
Speaker 5: Kail and back super Keen to see how he goes
Speaker 5: Tale works is a flyer at full back, good matchup.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't put the line through man, They've got a
Speaker 4: good draw, come come home.
Speaker 1: Questions from the listeners, Chris, we sort of touch on
Speaker 1: this at any of the expansion bids going public prior
Speaker 1: to September, we've covered off on a fair few of
Speaker 1: them already. There's there's up to tenth potentially.
Speaker 4: If there's five in New Zealand, I think we only
Speaker 4: know about two. Maybe yeah, there's only two that have
Speaker 4: become public, So there's three hidden consortiums over in New Zealand.
Speaker 1: Let us know. If you're one of the consortium.
Speaker 4: Please reach out for us. Read the at newslemit you.
Speaker 1: And send listener questions to reading that you won't get
Speaker 1: to rob The situation with Nathan clear at the moment,
Speaker 1: do you think the coaching staff had been a little
Speaker 1: selfish with him to win a fourth premiership then letting
Speaker 1: him play in the third Origin? There were rumors if
Speaker 1: he was available they're going to play him at four teams.
Speaker 1: So Nathan Cleary's situation, I don't think it Pendrith have
Speaker 1: any obligation to New South Wales to fast track his
Speaker 1: return when Nathan's ready.
Speaker 4: They're going to dump Connor Watson for Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 1: R. It's too wrong with the fact that.
Speaker 5: No, it seems as Robert you suggesting that the Panthers
Speaker 5: are being selfish to win a fourth premiership by night.
Speaker 3: Is that Origin related?
Speaker 1: Yeah as well, Yeah, I think it's the fact.
Speaker 5: I think I think they have every if I break
Speaker 5: it down here, they have every right to be selfish
Speaker 5: to win a fourth premiership.
Speaker 1: Agreed, no issue.
Speaker 5: I don't think it was any any chance whatsoever of
Speaker 5: playing in the third or is going to.
Speaker 4: Change that team chance? They dominated the Origin too.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't. I couldn't make a change even Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you change it. And there was
Speaker 1: suggesting around klen Is pushed for Kallen to come back.
Speaker 1: I can't see that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one game again, one game in three months and
Speaker 4: they're looking another area.
Speaker 1: And then Gordy said yesterday around Josh paper So I
Speaker 1: sent him a text yesterday asking if he'd answer an
Speaker 1: S O S. He said, no, Well I'm good mate,
Speaker 1: Like they don't need me.
Speaker 4: You miss a Queensland do miss a front row enforcer? Tino?
Speaker 1: You know I'm saying Pete CAFUSI, that's the one we
Speaker 1: spoke about and would have done that. No, agree, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Tommy Gilbert's good player. You know there's a lot out.
Speaker 4: Of that's really hurt them in the stakes.
Speaker 1: And any updates You worried Walkers.
Speaker 4: It sounds like you're very worried Queen's under staff.
Speaker 5: All I heard was a worried toning voice and the
Speaker 5: update on Sam Walker's contract negotiations.
Speaker 4: Not yet know what's going on there.
Speaker 1: No mail from my end, no male, but it.
Speaker 3: Has to be it has to be a priority, no deal.
Speaker 1: It has been done a passive money.
Speaker 4: Right yeah, yeh, team work. What do you think Sam's.
Speaker 1: Were every like for a club? A club would offer
Speaker 1: him one point.
Speaker 3: Too without hesitation identally a million.
Speaker 1: I think it's the market club.
Speaker 3: It just dosn't one point too. And that's.
Speaker 4: And they give Dermes deals one point too.
Speaker 3: And they give it the Jerome's done a lot more
Speaker 3: in the game.
Speaker 1: I agree with all that I'm saying. I reckon a
Speaker 1: club would give him one point two for ten years
Speaker 1: and say do your best.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I wouldn't do him for ten years.
Speaker 1: I'm just I think that's what that's what he could
Speaker 1: get at a club that needs that's desperate.
Speaker 3: That chip chase game is not going to last ten years.
Speaker 3: Good dude, I think he's stop for our feat.
Speaker 1: I think I think style.
Speaker 4: Around.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't. I wouldn't hesitate telling him
Speaker 1: a long term down.
Speaker 4: I would give him a million and a half beat
Speaker 4: if I was I said they needed a half back,
Speaker 4: that's my I would give.
Speaker 3: That's my ceiling.
Speaker 1: You know where I'm coming from. Made.
Speaker 3: I'm a massive fantasy hum and I love.
Speaker 5: What he's brought to the Roosters. But it's still the
Speaker 5: trick plays. It can't be a ten year can't hens down.
Speaker 5: He slows down, the game catches up with him. We're
Speaker 5: giving ten years.
Speaker 1: I'm hesitating to give a ten year contract, right, But
Speaker 1: he's the style of player I would give you a
Speaker 1: ten year contract to the ten year contracts. You don't
Speaker 1: give two explosive players like Tomalolo right because they can
Speaker 1: they celebrate very quickly. Right, his style of play, there's
Speaker 1: no issue. He's bar an injury or whatever the case
Speaker 1: unforeseen circumstances.
Speaker 3: Who's the other ten year contract that's been.
Speaker 1: Cherry Evans had a long long. Well, he's because he's
Speaker 1: a style of player that you can do it with.
Speaker 1: But I think different.
Speaker 4: Completely these are this is all instinctive, right, He's got
Speaker 4: great football.
Speaker 3: Yeah, A big fan of me.
Speaker 4: That doesn't change, that always stays. So you know, I
Speaker 4: don't I don't think he's always He would seem to
Speaker 4: me to be the sort of footballer who's always going
Speaker 4: to take some risks.
Speaker 3: Let me say this, he's got great let me say
Speaker 3: the game. He was playing reserve grade last year. So
Speaker 3: he's gone from reserve.
Speaker 5: Grade last year to a ten year, million of a
Speaker 5: season contracts.
Speaker 1: Part of his development at THEOS.
Speaker 3: I don't mate, he's only gone on from that moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't look at him playing reserve grade as
Speaker 1: a negative. I think it's it's not done enough. And
Speaker 1: he copped it and the roosters were Trent Robison came
Speaker 1: out straight away and said he's our long term half back.
Speaker 1: It's just part of his development process. I have no issue.
Speaker 4: He could be in Origin. He could be an Origin
Speaker 4: back next year. D Yeah, he's just about next in line.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know they got dead and Ezra, but
Speaker 4: he's not to come back months to come back but
Speaker 4: he's in the mix. I mean it could be, could
Speaker 4: be that quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't hesitate pasy. Are you surprised that Ben
Speaker 1: Horny doesn't get considered for vacant roles but Dean Young does.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't compare it to Dean Young.
Speaker 4: Ben job he's doing that question.
Speaker 1: I am surprised Ben Horny doesn't get considered more for roles,
Speaker 1: but not at the detriment of Dean Young. Dean Young
Speaker 1: deserves to be considered as well.
Speaker 4: If I'm south right now, Wayne's coming for three years,
Speaker 4: I'll making sure I lock him. Ben, and Ben, your
Speaker 4: job of mine goes?
Speaker 1: Are we doing that?
Speaker 4: Are doing it again?
Speaker 1: Has that? I don't know, but I would.
Speaker 4: He deserves to be I mean the job he's done,
Speaker 4: there no doubt the season.
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's gonna have to wait three
Speaker 1: years if he wants the job, job somewhere else. I
Speaker 1: think now that he's put himself in the he's so understated, right,
Speaker 1: I think now that he's put himself in the shop window,
Speaker 1: I think he's well placed to get it.
Speaker 4: He's shown as a bit of personality Ben, because he
Speaker 4: had We've never really seen that, even when he played.
Speaker 4: Ben was always a very yeah right, he didn't give
Speaker 4: us much. But he's actually been since he's taken over
Speaker 4: from Jason, he's actually been We've seen some personality, has
Speaker 4: been of fun. He's been great.
Speaker 1: I think now he set himself up that he's in
Speaker 1: the front of the queue when you talk around Hannah
Speaker 1: and Rolls and Hornby Now and Young and no sort
Speaker 1: of coaches that when coaches, when jobs become I think.
Speaker 5: The key to Benny in comparison to Dean Young is
Speaker 5: that when Paramatta met Wayne Bennett and tried to prize
Speaker 5: him to the Eels, they then and he declined. They
Speaker 5: then asked him, who would you suggest? And he suggested
Speaker 5: Dean Young, don't think and knowing the knowing why, knowing
Speaker 5: that Ben was going to be with him at SOLF.
Speaker 1: And knowing that he wasn't keen on the Paramatta job.
Speaker 1: If that was yeah, you've got to be willing to
Speaker 1: pitch up. Yeah, he didn't put his hand up for
Speaker 1: the Paramatta job, so it's not like he was overlooked
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But that's an emails. This one
Speaker 1: was an interesting one I got from received from Barry Okay.
Speaker 4: It could be my dad.
Speaker 1: All right, Peter Milanders has headed off to his holiday
Speaker 1: home and left you in charge. The seventeen NRL clubs
Speaker 1: have called an urgent meeting to discuss the options of
Speaker 1: a UK style Challenge Cup to be brought in the
Speaker 1: fixture list. A. Right, so you're with me. We're playing
Speaker 1: a role player then cup KB Cup. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: before one time, like Challenge Cup? What was that preseason
Speaker 1: Challenge Cup? Was pre season anyway? I remember the Challenge Cup.
Speaker 4: This is an in season This is.
Speaker 1: An in season challenge. Bottom clubs halfway through the season
Speaker 1: have nothing to play for. This changes. You get two
Speaker 1: Grand Finals, extra TV money, et cetera. Your answer, and
Speaker 1: why so? Would you guys be in favor of a
Speaker 1: midweek Challenge Cup?
Speaker 4: No, okay, there's no way you get this pass the
Speaker 4: players union. I'm just saying I think the players play.
Speaker 4: Would you not? If you would care for it? I'm
Speaker 4: sure it'd be entertaining, but I just won't. It won't happen. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you can't ask bokes. When's youth about blokes? Back? Midwek
Speaker 4: back up.
Speaker 1: From You can do what you like, right, would you
Speaker 1: do it?
Speaker 4: He does what he wants I've never suggest this. Are
Speaker 4: you asking me? I wouldn't? I would?
Speaker 1: Would you do?
Speaker 4: I'd love more footage, but it's got to be realistic.
Speaker 4: It's just impossible.
Speaker 1: I don't mind the idea. I don't mind the idea.
Speaker 5: Something's got to be done to help the English game,
Speaker 5: not the English game here.
Speaker 3: I thought you'd bring some English clubs out.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I'll ring my dad and ask him. Wouldn't you come.
Speaker 3: When you prefer Warrington out? Are you having a How think.
Speaker 4: You do that?
Speaker 1: Mid?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: We're complicating barriers, poor Barry.
Speaker 5: Tell you what I prefer country rugby league competition in Sydney.
Speaker 4: Well, if you're going to bring out the KB Cup,
Speaker 4: he used to have a MK Cup and have a
Speaker 4: country team Western Division.
Speaker 5: That's what Let's do our city country, city country, but
Speaker 5: do city first, country first.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that helps promote the country. So reserve great? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right. Jonathan here from Dubai. Wow, why is it
Speaker 1: that the North Sydney Bears need to partner with Perth
Speaker 1: in order to join the n RL If they already
Speaker 1: have a member as many members as claimed, surely they
Speaker 1: could raise funds themselves. Simple that the fact that I
Speaker 1: thank for listening from Dubai. It's actually a.
Speaker 4: Pom holiday I've been to.
Speaker 1: I'm stopping there on the way to Paris. I've spent
Speaker 1: a few nights at Abu Dhabi's good mate. Yeah, off
Speaker 1: the back of you, it's a good way to break
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 4: Interesting.
Speaker 1: What was the question I've forgotten the Bears?
Speaker 4: Why do they have to become another TV?
Speaker 1: That's the issue.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, in Sydney, the market's saturated, So I think
Speaker 4: it's the best way Perth Bears. You awaken a supporter
Speaker 4: group of several hundred thousand, and the broadcasters love it
Speaker 4: because the Bears are alive and they've got an audience
Speaker 4: already set the stone, so it's a win for everyone
Speaker 4: and Perth has when they come to Sydney to play games.
Speaker 4: They've got all these supporters coming out of the wood,
Speaker 4: including James of Bracy, the Channel nine superstar who's a
Speaker 4: mad nrsity Bears and a big shout out to James.
Speaker 1: Harry wants to know what do you guys think about
Speaker 1: the Warrior's chance of playing the finals? And is the
Speaker 1: current spine the one to take them there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's not it's not.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: I needed to think about it because I thought.
Speaker 4: So that's what you're saying. No, Seawan Johnson, Yeah, Shawn's
Speaker 4: Seawan's form has declined rapidly.
Speaker 1: So, but the question is like, are they better without
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson? Essentially the current spine without Sean Johnson, but the.
Speaker 5: Way they're still down Metcalf as well, like three four
Speaker 5: weeks left, Yeah, they've been.
Speaker 3: They've been doing a handy job.
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 5: I don't think the Roger thing has worked as though
Speaker 5: as well as as well as what they'd hoped, and
Speaker 5: the constant changing in their spine. I don't think they'll
Speaker 5: be able to find their rhythm this season.
Speaker 1: I really don't.
Speaker 3: They've had a lot of the number of changes in
Speaker 3: that spine, and you know.
Speaker 5: When Sewn Shawn's running second in a Daly m last
Speaker 5: year that you can't underrate that.
Speaker 3: Influence and he's not there at this point in time.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't put a line through them, though. I think
Speaker 4: they can play finals foot this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're we're here to win comps, So I don't.
Speaker 3: I just don't see them winning the camp.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Andrew says on almost every Rugby League program. When scussing
Speaker 1: certain players coaches, the commentators often say he's such a
Speaker 1: great bloke, though generally when they're bagging them. Okay, so
Speaker 1: that's true, Brad, Arthur, Brandon Smith, guys that have been
Speaker 1: in the news of late. You love a good bloke.
Speaker 1: The question is what players coaches are not good blokes.
Speaker 1: You don't need to name names, but are there any
Speaker 1: that exists?
Speaker 3: Andrew? This is an outstanding question. Well, don't mate.
Speaker 5: There are so many absolute pork chops in this game.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's all I can say.
Speaker 3: No, No, not everyone.
Speaker 5: He's great blogs, but that's every industry, every business, every company.
Speaker 4: I think we do that because we're trying to soften
Speaker 4: the blow a bit. If we're criticizing people we like,
Speaker 4: I just like to make it clear that it's not personal.
Speaker 4: It's because Brandon we've been critical. People have been critical
Speaker 4: of Brandon Brandon Smith. He is a fantastic, cracking guy.
Speaker 4: Cracking guy has got nothing to do with him or
Speaker 4: who he is. It's just because the issues going on
Speaker 4: in his life and he was dealing with him.
Speaker 1: And he's come out and taking he goes. I know
Speaker 1: it's not personal. I know I've put myself up for criticism,
Speaker 1: and I think when you're trying and preface the fact
Speaker 1: that some people are good like so you've got good
Speaker 1: relationships with them. However, you need to be critical of
Speaker 1: them at times and to show that it's not always.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it can, but it's not a personal attack.
Speaker 4: Brand's a prime example, right. People think a lot of
Speaker 4: people thought that was personal against Brand, but it was not.
Speaker 4: It wasn't personal at all because we all like Brad.
Speaker 4: We all got one with Brad. We all think he's
Speaker 4: a great Blake. But I felt it was time. No,
Speaker 4: I definitely felt it was tatently clear.
Speaker 1: Daniel wants to know. Shane Richardson, in a recent interview,
Speaker 1: said he spoke around Campbelltown Sports Stadium receiving funds the
Speaker 1: upgrade the ground. Have you heard anything about Campbelltown getting
Speaker 1: more cash.
Speaker 4: I think they wont cash at all, like Card and
Speaker 4: Campbelltown obviously.
Speaker 1: But nothing concrete.
Speaker 4: No. I think they were focused on light cart okay,
Speaker 4: but I think that you know they was when top
Speaker 4: grade all the facilities and make the grounds more profitable
Speaker 4: and better for the fans.
Speaker 1: Michael wants to know good Burden and he's going to
Speaker 1: start me on light cut good Burton, and he's devastating
Speaker 1: bomb work as well. At origin level. Given the increase
Speaker 1: quick pressure, he would surely face. So Matt Burton's kicking
Speaker 1: own the original level. I think it transcends, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, of course it does. Yeah, it's it's it's
Speaker 5: an unbelievable I can't. I'm trying to think. I watched
Speaker 5: that game obviously, Dogs verse Sharks last week. Dogs are
Speaker 5: just on the back foot like they were going nowhere,
Speaker 5: and sure enough, you bring out the rescue club in golf.
Speaker 1: This guy's got a rescue kick.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter where they are on the field.
Speaker 5: He kicked them back into the contest because the Cronulla
Speaker 5: were finishing over the top of them and he just
Speaker 5: kicked them back out of trouble.
Speaker 1: Could it work in origin? Absolutely? All right, Brendan. If
Speaker 1: a player gets, say, four weeks suspension, do you think
Speaker 1: there is merit around making the suspension four weeks plus
Speaker 1: the next game against the team you committed the act against.
Speaker 4: That's five weeks suspension. No, okay, what's what's the sense
Speaker 4: in that?
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why. Because not every team plays each
Speaker 3: other twice.
Speaker 4: That's a good point, too, very good point.
Speaker 1: But there's a carry on to the next season. What
Speaker 1: if they change clubs.
Speaker 5: I understand Brendan wants the player to be penalized against
Speaker 5: his team, and I understand.
Speaker 1: That it's got hairs all over it that, but unfortunately
Speaker 1: Read is just crapped all over it. But Brett and
Speaker 1: we get where you're coming from. All right, dinner last week.
Speaker 1: Last week I spoke about a dish called so long lamb.
Speaker 1: That's the Greek electical electically Okay, So my learned friend,
Speaker 1: who is getting more ethnic by the day the more
Speaker 1: he hangs out with me, is starting.
Speaker 4: Would I cooked it? Yeplectical?
Speaker 1: You found the cheese.
Speaker 4: I made a couple of mistakes, so I didn't dice
Speaker 4: the lamb.
Speaker 1: Yes, I put it in the hole with a half.
Speaker 4: Hour to go on the cooking processes, you're supposed to
Speaker 4: put it in for two hours. I realized I hadn't
Speaker 4: chopped the lamb up, so I pulled it out the oven,
Speaker 4: chopped the lamb up, put it back in My system.
Speaker 4: Was in town with the kids, three kids, the father
Speaker 4: in law, brother in law stayed in Brisbane, lucky bugger
Speaker 4: and they loved it. Everyone loved it. My wife took
Speaker 4: seconds in work the next day.
Speaker 1: It's good. We're going to what's the recipe?
Speaker 4: You should put it on the we should something I
Speaker 4: put on the podcast.
Speaker 1: If anyone wants an email the recipe.
Speaker 4: So it was.
Speaker 1: It was very good, man, it's very good.
Speaker 4: And I found the cheese.
Speaker 1: The cheese is like, that's a little special.
Speaker 4: What's that cheese called? Oh yeah, what.
Speaker 3: Type of cheese isn't is it more of a gooey cheese?
Speaker 4: It is like a parmesan. It was Harris Farm has it? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 4: So you put it in there and melt it actually
Speaker 4: in the pip, and then you put I did this wrong.
Speaker 1: Well, actually didn't do it wrong.
Speaker 4: Now I did it right. He's been doing it wrong forever.
Speaker 1: I've been doing it wrong.
Speaker 4: You put then you put shavings across the top of it.
Speaker 4: I put it back in the oven to give it
Speaker 4: melted a bit. Mick, great, mixed being grading and you
Speaker 4: have a man. They said, what have you done with
Speaker 4: the cheese? I said, a photo of the recipe says
Speaker 4: shave And you realized he's been doing it wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep stick to my method.
Speaker 4: Gravy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, but dinner tonight I have to
Speaker 1: come up with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's under training night, right, so it's always tricky
Speaker 3: night to cook.
Speaker 4: Washed out again last night?
Speaker 5: Actually the good point could be washed out. Be washed out,
Speaker 5: thanks Cancels. Uh, you know what we're going to go with.
Speaker 5: We're going to go with a home cooked meat pie
Speaker 5: with yeah, with beef chunks not you know some people
Speaker 5: make a meat pie with mince terrible mints.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and bit of gravy grave, but we'll go gravy.
Speaker 1: It was more of a shock that people make it
Speaker 1: with mince. Understanding what mince.
Speaker 4: Is mince pie.
Speaker 3: We're going to go with the gravy beef.
Speaker 4: Gravy beef.
Speaker 5: Yeah, may guess I haven't gone down the guinness path anyway,
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think we'll head down that.
Speaker 4: I was fine. That's one of the great things when
Speaker 4: you go on to Kangaroo to it. You go to
Speaker 4: those English pubs and they make those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, what beer are we going to be drinking
