Speaker 1: Welcome to the Daily Telegraph NROL podcast. It's full of
Speaker 1: magic this week and to share the love, I've got
Speaker 1: Bretton Reid and David, Ricky Harley fellas well Mickey Terry
Speaker 1: Onis very well, ready, goody, good week.
Speaker 2: Has been a big week. What's going on?
Speaker 1: News around on?
Speaker 2: It's always a big week in.
Speaker 1: The n W.
Speaker 2: It's a big week.
Speaker 1: That means it's not always a busy week in the NROL.
Speaker 1: Then okay, you with me.
Speaker 2: It's a busy week in anticipatient. Well, let's start with
Speaker 2: there's a.
Speaker 1: Bit of coaching news in and around the game. Let's
Speaker 1: start with your story, Dave, that you brought on Tuesday
Speaker 1: night that you broke regarding Ricky Stewart and his new
Speaker 1: contract details any surprise by not so much that Ricky
Speaker 1: is extended, but the length of of that deal. Look,
Speaker 1: I've been making inquiries with the Raiders probably.
Speaker 3: Probably four weeks ago, four to five weeks ago, and
Speaker 3: I know I just started making the inquiries on the
Speaker 3: basis if I just like where the Raiders have been
Speaker 3: heading this year, I don't think you could. I don't
Speaker 3: think many other teams have been in this situation where
Speaker 3: they're sitting inside the top eight with such a rookie spine.
Speaker 3: And I read that police guys a few weeks ago
Speaker 3: now that they had their youngest, most inexperienced one six
Speaker 3: and seven in their entire history against the Sharks. It
Speaker 3: was Chevy Shield at fullback, Ko Works at half back
Speaker 3: and Ethan Strange at five eighth.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they got bad that day.
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is they're in this development phase
Speaker 3: of you know, basically trying to get three years ahead
Speaker 3: of other clubs by blooding these players earlier than what
Speaker 3: they're expected anyway, So look, I just like what they
Speaker 3: were doing, and it led to the point where I
Speaker 3: got a response that yes, indeed they were looking to
Speaker 3: extend Ricky, which which unfolded. He was on contract to
Speaker 3: the end of twenty five and they pushed him out
Speaker 3: through until twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 1: Ready any suit, any surprise by.
Speaker 2: Maybe with the length of the deal. It's a long
Speaker 2: it's a long extension. But you know, we all love Ricky.
Speaker 2: He's a great character to having the game right. I mean,
Speaker 2: rugby league's better when ri Ricky's involved. I think he's
Speaker 2: done a good job down there and day it's right
Speaker 2: I mean they've committed to go with youth and keeping
Speaker 2: Ricky long term allows that Ricky to bring that youth
Speaker 2: through and it shows a bit of faith and then
Speaker 2: he doesn't need to get immediate results. He can he
Speaker 2: can take his time with his kids, grow with them.
Speaker 2: And you know, I think that club, it's not like
Speaker 2: your average club don't talk. You know, the fans haven't
Speaker 2: made happy and you're talking other people. But it's a
Speaker 2: unique club and he is a unique coach for that club. Well,
Speaker 2: there's not many coach in the game who are more
Speaker 2: suited to a footy club that a foot club than
Speaker 2: Ricky is. The camera is camera, So you know, I
Speaker 2: think that I.
Speaker 3: Don't think fans understand and just hold on, Yes, I
Speaker 3: don't patient.
Speaker 1: I don't think fans appreciate the.
Speaker 3: Struggle the challenges that camera have to recruit talent and
Speaker 3: retain talent and you really need.
Speaker 1: To figure head coach there. You can't.
Speaker 3: You can't have anyone that's our first time you needed
Speaker 3: someone with profile. Let it be known that Ricky Stewart
Speaker 3: can pick up the phone to Peter Valandi's He picks
Speaker 3: up the phone to end to abdou He has connections
Speaker 3: throughout the game, and that comes through his experience of
Speaker 3: being involved in the game.
Speaker 1: At the highest level for so long.
Speaker 3: And I think that's paramount to the success of the Raiders.
Speaker 3: Correct me if I'm wrong. I think they've made the
Speaker 3: finals the last four out of the last five years.
Speaker 2: OK. I don't know, it sounds right.
Speaker 3: I don't think you know, looking at pass marks, I
Speaker 3: don't have premierships in camp. Yes, everyone wants a premiership,
Speaker 3: but I don't have premierships in camera.
Speaker 1: Whether it's deemed a successful failure.
Speaker 2: Really quickly. For the reason you'll be very quiet, Can
Speaker 2: I tell the listeners.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to because YouTube some comments towards the top suggesting.
Speaker 2: Sort of top people. So he's taking that to heart.
Speaker 1: Taking them back seace.
Speaker 2: Today when everyone else is stored. So you can.
Speaker 1: Sorry. I'm surprised by the length of it twenty nine.
Speaker 1: I think was there a necessity to draw him out
Speaker 1: that long? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Like stability, I think he still Ricky is so comfortable
Speaker 3: in his own skin, and we've seen the way he's
Speaker 3: coached this year that he's he hasn't been a guy
Speaker 3: that's fearful of his job and he's going to blood
Speaker 3: those youngsters and he's done an exceptional job this year.
Speaker 1: I hadn't I said on him, I had a bottom
Speaker 1: four this year.
Speaker 3: Right, they have done finish, but I don't think at
Speaker 3: the halfway will We're not at the halfway well almost
Speaker 3: at the halfway point.
Speaker 1: They're one of these success stories of the season so far.
Speaker 1: Can but they've been outstanding in not only you know,
Speaker 1: they've had to deal with some injuries as well. They
Speaker 1: finally got Jordan up in a back, so I think
Speaker 1: the coaching this year has been outstanding. I am surprised
Speaker 1: by the length of the deal. I just didn't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think you needed to do that.
Speaker 3: I think the length of the deal is timed with
Speaker 3: the current rookies that are being bloody through the team,
Speaker 3: and they are Ethan's strange through until twenty eight. I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure it gives stability for these younger players. And
Speaker 3: also when you're trying to recruit, it makes it so
Speaker 3: much easier when you can tell the player you're trying
Speaker 3: to chase to who the coach is for the next
Speaker 3: three to four years and this is my plan for you,
Speaker 3: and this is what I believe you're going to be
Speaker 3: able to do when coaches aren't contracted beyond the next
Speaker 3: one to two years, it's difficult for a player outside
Speaker 3: to commit to that football club knowing that now she
Speaker 3: is on getting promised everything at the moment, coach might
Speaker 3: not be here in two years time. So I think
Speaker 3: it's about stability. And one of the interesting points boys,
Speaker 3: I haven't raised this before, is that a rival club
Speaker 3: I was talking to rival club about five weeks ago,
Speaker 3: and Ricky walked into a press conference and just gone
Speaker 3: absolutely on the defense, which he does for his team.
Speaker 3: It's like he puts a barrier between himself and the
Speaker 3: rest of the world and the team behind him. And
Speaker 3: a rival club said, you know what, if we were
Speaker 3: to move on our coach, the first person would chase.
Speaker 1: Is Ricky Stewart. And I.
Speaker 3: Think that can't be understated about how he's also perceived
Speaker 3: within the game, about how he creates that win it
Speaker 3: all costs environment for the Raiders.
Speaker 1: As ready said, it's good theater that Ricky remains press conferences,
Speaker 1: always entertaining on the sidelines. To me, yeah, speaking of
Speaker 1: the entertainment. A last a minute at the moment with
Speaker 1: Wayne Bennett He's been in fine form with his press
Speaker 1: conferences at the moment. Suggestions yesterday that he officially committed
Speaker 1: to South Sydney, both parties have sort of said that's
Speaker 1: not the case. But just being so boring me. I
Speaker 1: think if we sit down this time next week we
Speaker 1: all expect Wayne Benett. I'm seriously, it's boring. What's boring
Speaker 1: about what he is doing? One of the what's what's
Speaker 1: the hold up? Why we I don't know?
Speaker 2: Wayne? Wayne was playing.
Speaker 3: Wayne sneezes and were reported playing games with the media
Speaker 3: and with clubs and keeping people guessing.
Speaker 2: And we all know what's going to happen, right, It's
Speaker 2: going to end up at House. It's going to coach
Speaker 2: House for the next three years, then probably coach P and
Speaker 2: G when they coming in the comp in twenty and.
Speaker 1: Then Sam Burgess will be back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we all you know, Wayne just just
Speaker 2: doesn't want to it to be formally announced to Wayne's
Speaker 2: ready to formally announce it. So it'll happened. Nick, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I made a magic ground. Probably sign off the contract
Speaker 2: and Bob's your uncle. Move on.
Speaker 1: I like the fact. Or we'll get some more clarity
Speaker 1: on it from South in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: But if I'm them, I'm not making the same mistake
Speaker 1: and putting the cap on Wayne Wayne's tenure. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying in the fourth year, this is who's coaching.
Speaker 2: But I think Wayne has my gap feelers. Wayne's almost
Speaker 2: committed to coach the expansion team.
Speaker 3: If Wayne thinks he can win a comp in that
Speaker 3: fourth year of SOUSE, He's not going anywhere, regardless of what.
Speaker 2: If he's given Peter Landy to promise I'll coach them, because.
Speaker 1: He hasn't broken his word before.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, I'm being serious though, And if I'm if,
Speaker 3: I'm if, I'm I don't know. If I'm well, ask
Speaker 3: the Dragons, ask the roosters. Oh you're talking about yeah,
Speaker 3: directly to PVL, I'm.
Speaker 2: Not saying he has made a promise to people. Yeah,
Speaker 2: our suggestions, PV. I wants him to coach the P
Speaker 2: and G team when it comes to.
Speaker 1: Me seventy seven, seventy eight by.
Speaker 2: Then, yeah, wh shows no signs.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: He loves that PNG and he plays games with us.
Speaker 3: Just with that the media, it's be a lot of
Speaker 3: trouble in that PG, so it wouldn't be so private jet.
Speaker 2: But the suggestion is going to get a private jet.
Speaker 1: I think what's our Sydney. They don't need to worry
Speaker 1: about who's going to be their next coach. Yeah, until
Speaker 1: you know, well, once we get into year two and
Speaker 1: whatever the case, maybe I'd be surprised if it's not Dave.
Speaker 1: The question will be is when they can do they
Speaker 1: put Sam into that role alongside Wayne in that third
Speaker 1: year when it's not necessary.
Speaker 4: I think is better off doing what he's doing Warrington,
Speaker 4: So that was that would have mean he would have
Speaker 4: coached in the Super League for three years, do you
Speaker 4: know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like not, but if you're head coaching superle are you
Speaker 2: going to come back to serve the year as an
Speaker 2: assistant coach to Wayan Bennett or that's true.
Speaker 1: It just depends on if you're coming back guaranteed with
Speaker 1: that position, then you do. If you're not guaranteed, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's absolutely necessary and I don't think it is.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying I think I think you can
Speaker 3: love in Sydney in October of course preseason on in November.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there's no there's there's no great need or
Speaker 1: rush to have Sam Burgess as part of that coaching
Speaker 1: staff unless he wants to unless he wants to return
Speaker 1: because this is his home now, right and we're closely
Speaker 1: with Wayne. But I just don't if I'm South, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Question sounds and crisis at the moment. Right, there are
Speaker 2: all sorts.
Speaker 1: Yes. Can Wayne walk in there, Yes.
Speaker 2: And turn them into a contender with that squad?
Speaker 1: I think you can because if you look at that
Speaker 1: squad right this side that's playing North Queens, then play
Speaker 1: the Dragons unreconnic. But if we throw in Latrell, Campbell, Graham.
Speaker 1: But I'm talking, these are the names that are in
Speaker 1: that side, right, Patroll, Campbell, Graham, Cody Walker, Keon Tatola, Widen,
Speaker 1: Cam Murray Arrow. Okay, there's eight representative really good players there.
Speaker 1: Cody iven' ever mentioned Cody and Cook right because their
Speaker 1: former well their formers waiving.
Speaker 2: I want to get the best out of Cody.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think you can build that Like people
Speaker 1: have been so too critical of the roster that the
Speaker 1: issue is is the balance of the ross is not there. Right.
Speaker 1: You can pick holes in terms of their middles and
Speaker 1: the like, but we haven't seen You've got laws god, right,
Speaker 1: So that's.
Speaker 2: A great thing.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: It's the top eight side. Whether it's a Premiership winningside,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but it is the top eight side.
Speaker 1: And then the upside of having Wayne in there to
Speaker 1: get the best out of la Cody, which you're going
Speaker 1: to back him to do. Who knows, who knows what.
Speaker 2: The top fourteen, it's top fourteen next year.
Speaker 1: And we've got a bit of sprinkling of some talent
Speaker 1: they need. Good point, Yeah, Monroe, and I didn't mention
Speaker 1: Alex Johnston and the wife right so the site is
Speaker 1: not as bad as people suggestion right on, if you
Speaker 1: can get them all all fit.
Speaker 3: And what understand my understanding is the salary caps out
Speaker 3: of whack. So something's going to have to give and
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to tap a few players, yeah, for
Speaker 3: for Wayne to get some flexibility in the raw stuff.
Speaker 1: And we've overpaid in a couple of areas. We've heard
Speaker 1: them and we know that they want to talk to them.
Speaker 1: They've reached out to Angus Crichton, whether or not they'd
Speaker 1: have the finances to get that done. They've signed laws Dodd.
Speaker 1: You're looking at props.
Speaker 2: In England as well, which is of course a little
Speaker 2: bit of drama.
Speaker 1: If lock Ilias moves then that will clear up some
Speaker 1: part of their cap. Is the first player that's asked
Speaker 1: for permission to.
Speaker 3: The possible drama is if Dodd doesn't fire huge which
Speaker 3: is the possibility.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because that's a big money sign in a
Speaker 1: position where you could argue if they needed to make
Speaker 1: it or not, but in a side that's salary cap
Speaker 1: is so tight. They've gone all in a on a
Speaker 1: seven who were just not sure's not sure.
Speaker 2: He looks a good player though. I think Wayne. Wayne's
Speaker 2: a smart coach, and he looks a good player, and
Speaker 2: he's a smart player.
Speaker 1: Do we believe that?
Speaker 3: I wonder if ends up staying for that fire on
Speaker 3: a year of his contract on the back of a
Speaker 3: broken leg, fine and finds his feet again just and
Speaker 3: then allows him to put himself in the shop window
Speaker 3: to go again to market, but he.
Speaker 2: Won't play first grade. That's the issue.
Speaker 1: Well, if Dog doesn't fire, he will. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think they spent a lot of money on Dowd
Speaker 2: and I think they'll they'll stick with him for as
Speaker 2: long as they can.
Speaker 1: I think black Sol said if the coach doesn't want
Speaker 1: Lewis thought, he's not the coach for us. No, No,
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. He might. He might.
Speaker 2: Eliots will end up somewhere. There's clubs that need halves
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's what I'm saying is he's on a
Speaker 3: pretty good deal at South in the final year of
Speaker 3: his contract. Stick around for twelve months, get through the
Speaker 3: broken legs, show you back in form, then you're on
Speaker 3: your way again.
Speaker 2: It just feels like to me, it's too far gone.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, there's a bit of that and you'll.
Speaker 2: Get like the dogs and the dogs now it's too
Speaker 2: far gone in a laye.
Speaker 1: His issues not with Wayne Batat. That's right, that's exactly.
Speaker 1: So if Wayne sees something and he wants to give
Speaker 1: him a cuddle and they brought no, No, I get that.
Speaker 2: It makes sense. I need and we've just said he
Speaker 2: keeps out of whack.
Speaker 1: Is Cody Cody's got twelve months left on his deal.
Speaker 1: Is he guaranteed to be there? You know? Danmid Cole's
Speaker 1: got twelve months left on his deal? Is he guaranteed?
Speaker 2: Wayne? Wayne's shocked If.
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked you if.
Speaker 2: Cookie is the one I think we've all acknowledged Damien
Speaker 2: Cooks the interesting one at all.
Speaker 3: Who would find that he would find historically I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to think historically through the clubs.
Speaker 1: Wayne likes that experienced half.
Speaker 3: He gets a little bit more out of the older half,
Speaker 3: and can and maybe.
Speaker 1: Get a bit more juice out of Cody Walker. I
Speaker 1: reckon he can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, They've got Mamilla's to play Hooker, a long.
Speaker 1: Term deal and decent money as well.
Speaker 3: Thinking that he would slide into to replace Cook as
Speaker 3: well just doesn't quite happen.
Speaker 2: It's happened. It's happening now right, the sort of transition
Speaker 2: at the moment, it's just what it sounds like. Cookie
Speaker 2: doesn't want to go. Yeah, so that's when it becomes
Speaker 2: an issue.
Speaker 1: Speaking of people, they don't want to go. David for
Speaker 1: Feeder Dao. Wow.
Speaker 2: I think we're all stunning.
Speaker 1: All shocked around just before eight am on Wednesday morning,
Speaker 1: when a couple of emails lobbed into our inbox.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a prank. Yeah, I thought it
Speaker 2: was like a seriously.
Speaker 1: I didn't really read it. And then the phone starts
Speaker 1: blowing up and I'm like, what's going on here? And
Speaker 1: then going wow, So this all came out out of
Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise for us, it happened. It
Speaker 1: came out of surprise to the Roosters as well, when
Speaker 1: Nick Politis received the phone call from for Feeder's management
Speaker 1: late on on Tuesday night, about ten pm on Tuesday night,
Speaker 1: the first call was made, and then Nick woke up
Speaker 1: early on Wednesday morning, rang the coach and said, you
Speaker 1: know that David for Feeder guy, he's not coming and
Speaker 1: it's sort of unfolded from there. As of Wednesday afternoon,
Speaker 1: David had yet to reach out to the Roosters personally,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if that's since, but obviously we're
Speaker 1: all surprised by what do we make of that day
Speaker 1: for the Roosters, I guess initially and then ready for
Speaker 1: the Titans.
Speaker 3: Well, it certainly rocked the Roosters boat, that's for sure,
Speaker 3: because they had done a lot of forward planning for
Speaker 3: twenty five twenty six and it all included David Feeda
Speaker 3: a big blue chip salary cap signing and now that's
Speaker 3: that's a huge chunk of your cap, and you know,
Speaker 3: the repercussions around Angus, Crichton and Statilli Toupreneur are the
Speaker 3: big ones at the moment, and I'm a little bit
Speaker 3: concerned what impact that will have in the dressing room
Speaker 3: when you're told two players that you're free to go suddenly.
Speaker 1: No, maybe it's a chance we can keep you.
Speaker 2: I don't think Tupanoa stays day. I think that's you're
Speaker 2: right about his reaction. I think Touperneur will leave because
Speaker 2: I think we'll get interest from elsewhere and the fact
Speaker 2: they told him basically you're free to guard I think
Speaker 2: I think in his head, my sense is that he's gone,
Speaker 2: he will go. I think Angus is the chance is staying.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: They always said that they were hopeful to keep the Angus,
Speaker 2: so even if Dave was coming. So the issue is
Speaker 2: with Angers. His price has gone up, and what they
Speaker 2: thought they might have got Angers for a month or
Speaker 2: two months ago, it's doubled now and he's going to
Speaker 2: There's a lot of clubs interest in Angus as well,
Speaker 2: So that's the challenge for them where Angus is conserved.
Speaker 2: I think Enturepreneur will leave.
Speaker 1: I think he's Do you think he'll still go regardless?
Speaker 2: I think you'll still going regardless. Yeah, they've still got
Speaker 2: too many.
Speaker 1: Bad as depending on Angus now or well.
Speaker 2: Think as I said, I think it's hard for them to.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't resign it back now. I wouldn't one step
Speaker 1: at the So you think that even for feeder taking charge,
Speaker 1: Angus Crichton goes and they lose, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think there's every chance that till he leaves.
Speaker 1: Yes, even if Angus doesn't stay correct well, and you
Speaker 1: think they shouldn't reach I.
Speaker 3: Don't think they should resign Angus. And I'm seeing what
Speaker 3: everyone's saying. I'm seeing a back in charge just dominating him.
Speaker 3: And however, it's taken a long time, a long time
Speaker 3: for Angus Crichton to get to this.
Speaker 1: Point in time.
Speaker 3: And my concern with the Roosters is is that there's
Speaker 3: a vacuum of talent leaving the club, a lot of
Speaker 3: leadership leaving the club.
Speaker 1: And I'm not.
Speaker 3: Being overly harsh towards Angus year, but he's not a
Speaker 3: recognized leader. And so when the Roosters go through this
Speaker 3: change next year, a bit of a reset, blooding new players,
Speaker 3: I don't know if Angus is the leader that the
Speaker 3: Roosters need.
Speaker 1: To be guiding them.
Speaker 3: And I just wonder if they just go right, twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five is a reset year. Use Angus's money for
Speaker 3: twenty six. What is it, six hundred seven hundred right?
Speaker 3: Put me probably, you know, use that money wisely for
Speaker 3: twenty six and go again. I just don't see twenty
Speaker 3: five as being a major roosters a year, given the
Speaker 3: amount of players that they're going to lose, So why
Speaker 3: not just call it without at this and he's starting form.
Speaker 1: Has been irresistible though Ogam, he should be picked. He's
Speaker 1: a form back row.
Speaker 3: He's playing better than you've got a little bit Martin
Speaker 3: or any other back row in your.
Speaker 1: Look at the rooster's point of view, Mike, they've put,
Speaker 1: they've put years into it. Han't be bad all that time.
Speaker 1: Like last year he was terrible. The year before he
Speaker 1: was playing for Australia and New South Wales when he
Speaker 1: was outstanding. He's in career best form I think now.
Speaker 1: But obviously last year was a ride off. That first
Speaker 1: year was a bit up and down. But those I think,
Speaker 1: you know, the year before the World Cup year he
Speaker 1: was out he was outstanding.
Speaker 3: So I touched on this when when when on three sixty,
Speaker 3: when I said the potential ripple effect of Dave Forfer
Speaker 3: to go on to the penrth about how you know
Speaker 3: those players have taken pay cuts and stayed there for
Speaker 3: a lot less and you're dropping a million dollar player.
Speaker 1: Into your system. And I think we're going to see
Speaker 1: it now with the Roosters in a weird and different
Speaker 1: way where.
Speaker 3: We were going to see it he was going under
Speaker 3: the Ruses, and the Ruses needed to tap Creighton and.
Speaker 1: To Beneur to make way for him.
Speaker 3: Now it's the opposite effect of he's not coming and
Speaker 3: they've got two players that they've told we're we're not
Speaker 3: sure about it.
Speaker 2: It's a dangerous and culture.
Speaker 1: You love the shining new toy right, and they're sort
Speaker 1: of when you.
Speaker 3: Say, there, it's a delicate it's a delicate dressing room.
Speaker 1: It is, it is, it is, And I think on
Speaker 1: the precipice of stuffing your culture, it is difficult to
Speaker 1: navigate the blokes that you're coaching now and the Ruses
Speaker 1: are in this shot premiership shot, no doubt. I think
Speaker 1: everyone thinks the russ can win the comp this year
Speaker 1: and trying to plan for the future against blokes but
Speaker 1: that are in your doors, that you're seeing every day,
Speaker 1: so that is that is a delicate conversation that and
Speaker 1: we've heard Angus earlier in this week. I think it
Speaker 1: was the way he wasn't overly pleased by the for
Speaker 1: fee to sign in and yeah didn't he didn't.
Speaker 2: So I think there was a bit of a miscommunication
Speaker 2: here though, because the club had been talking to his agent,
Speaker 2: the agent Dave just Dave Ruins, and got around to
Speaker 2: speaking us about the latest or the lay of the land.
Speaker 2: So that's I think there was a bit of miscommunication there.
Speaker 1: I can't I'd be stunned with all the players, this
Speaker 1: has been around long enough to know what to say,
Speaker 1: not what to say.
Speaker 3: What was a pointed message, right, I'd be surprised if
Speaker 3: I'm the Roosters and I don't land for fed and
Speaker 3: all that cryder and the tone will walk.
Speaker 1: Out that door. What was interesting was hoops last night
Speaker 1: on three sixty, backing up the stuff that you had
Speaker 1: on Sean Johnson from a couple of weeks ago, a
Speaker 1: year fifty but where people were hammering us smashed the
Speaker 1: roosters linked from the media. Do you want to have
Speaker 1: a do you have your say back reading your.
Speaker 2: Clowns out there on social media.
Speaker 1: Pipe down, bradyways A Right.
Speaker 2: Declared Nathan Clear was going to West that was a
Speaker 2: long time ago.
Speaker 1: We've moved on. He's put out James Crame point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we wrote that. We got smashed over that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they were in form they had a red or roosters.
Speaker 2: It's a great result, a great result for the time
Speaker 2: looking for them, because you know, I wrote a column
Speaker 2: last week saying they need to pay attention to what
Speaker 2: the roosters have done. They've turned around and kept him.
Speaker 2: So I got a bit egg on my face there.
Speaker 2: But it's good for Dave. If you know Dave, he's
Speaker 2: a very simple guy. Dave Right, He does family and
Speaker 2: that's the big thing for him in this situation. It's
Speaker 2: very tight with his family, and I don't think he
Speaker 2: really what's the word I'm looking for, really come to
Speaker 2: terms with the fact that he was leaving his family
Speaker 2: and you gonna have to move away from his family.
Speaker 2: And I think ultimately that's what's brought him back. There
Speaker 2: is obviously paid apartment and hazard and committing him to State,
Speaker 2: but I think the overriding theme was it was about
Speaker 2: he didn't want to move away from his family. In
Speaker 2: the end. And the other ingesting thing was he really
Speaker 2: wrestled with that. Even after he made the decision to
Speaker 2: go to the Roosters, he was having the second thoughts
Speaker 2: about whether he should have gone to Penrith, second thought,
Speaker 2: second second thoughts, second thoughts. He actually he just struggled
Speaker 2: on multiple levels with the decision. So ultimately he's decided
Speaker 2: to stay, and I'm I'm happy that he is staying.
Speaker 1: Do we like the ten day calling off period? I
Speaker 1: don't like it at all.
Speaker 5: I don't mind what's signed a contract though, what's the
Speaker 5: big deal He's only agreed to go signed PIOD right, Well,
Speaker 5: some people have told me, isn't someone said he was.
Speaker 3: But makes the difference because you can still do this
Speaker 3: within the rules if you sign it like it's I've
Speaker 3: got no drama with it.
Speaker 1: Why do we need it? Well?
Speaker 2: Will this thing example, they.
Speaker 1: Just make it in mind. Up, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: players out there, and it's there's.
Speaker 3: A massive career, life changing decisions of which the summer
Speaker 3: twenty one, twenty two, twenty three years of age to
Speaker 3: Ready's point though, for food is hugely family focused and
Speaker 3: once and I've got no doubt, I've got no doubt,
Speaker 3: the headlines down here, the booing of the Titans fans.
Speaker 3: I think it all played a role in his emotions,
Speaker 3: and I think I think it's justifiable give them.
Speaker 1: My issue the call the ten day cooling off period,
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Read is that the fact
Speaker 1: that you still you can notify your current club, but
Speaker 1: you still don't have to take the offer from the club,
Speaker 1: the buying club, the buying club. Yes, right, So I
Speaker 1: think the way it should work is that, And that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to stay your current club either.
Speaker 1: You can just blow it up completely, you can go
Speaker 1: back on the market. So my issue with the ten
Speaker 1: day cooling off period is that you should be made
Speaker 1: if in that ten day period, so say you're David Fieda,
Speaker 1: you go to the Titans. Look, I've got this offer
Speaker 1: from this club. I've agreed or whatever the case, whatever
Speaker 1: the wording is, if he doesn't accept, if he doesn't
Speaker 1: stay at the Titans, he must take the original offer
Speaker 1: that's on the table within that ten day period, because
Speaker 1: otherwise it's just leverage, it's a joke, it's playing it
Speaker 1: in their own way. You should be made.
Speaker 3: That was my original point when this whole think this
Speaker 3: is new this year, right, came out in the in
Speaker 3: the off season. I'm pretty sure I think it came
Speaker 3: the first season. Last year it was announced.
Speaker 1: But that's my whole point of it is is that
Speaker 1: that's fine.
Speaker 3: You can have a cooling off period, but you should
Speaker 3: be made to stick to stick figures, to stick with.
Speaker 1: That club that you've agreed to, because you know, we
Speaker 1: can have some funny games and charades and the like
Speaker 1: where you know, he could have ended up at Penrith,
Speaker 1: we could have ended up at another club. Right, So
Speaker 1: you should only be able to after that ten day period,
Speaker 1: you either stay at your current club or you go
Speaker 1: to the club where you mistigated that ten day The.
Speaker 2: Were suggestions once he made the decision to go to
Speaker 2: the roost and didn't I even clearly text him after
Speaker 2: that and say, hate, we're still.
Speaker 3: Interested, We're still because of the t So I don't
Speaker 3: like that a real quick curly one throw Sam Walker.
Speaker 3: Do the Titans, well, they don't now make a play
Speaker 3: for Sam Walker given that, given that we know, excuse me, that.
Speaker 1: One of the pulling powers off the Roosters was Dave's,
Speaker 1: they have to have to make him way for Sam Walker.
Speaker 2: The Rusters will not let him go to Man.
Speaker 1: He's going to be a min of player. Someone like
Speaker 1: someone will give me. Sam doesn't want to go back
Speaker 1: to Queensland.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I spect him two weeks ago I
Speaker 2: think it was, and he said, I'm Sydney's my home,
Speaker 2: the roosts of my home now and I want to
Speaker 2: start players say that right when you put him under
Speaker 2: the blow torch. But he seemed pretty genuine about it, and.
Speaker 1: The Roosters are pretty intent to build a team around him.
Speaker 2: The issue is if you're the Gold Coast, If I'm
Speaker 2: the Gold Coast, I'd run the Gold Coast. If I've
Speaker 2: got the cap room, I'm throwing one point two one
Speaker 2: point three out him. I agree the Russes won't go there.
Speaker 1: The only catch to that is they've already got ten
Speaker 1: o one a million.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not about one point.
Speaker 1: Two feed on close to million.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if, like, if I was the
Speaker 3: Gold Coast, would I have fought so hard to pay
Speaker 3: David Ford million dollars when I need to rejig that
Speaker 3: roster completely.
Speaker 2: It doesn't in a complete region half why Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think if they get a half, it's so I think.
Speaker 3: They need two halves because Ford is on the way
Speaker 3: out right. Yeah, he's a week by week proposition, so
Speaker 3: they need to Brimston completely.
Speaker 2: Got one controlling half like a Sam Walker. You can
Speaker 2: play with a J J And Campbell.
Speaker 1: Well they are both so far Dares and Justin Holbrook
Speaker 1: have been unable to unlock both those at the same
Speaker 1: time on the field.
Speaker 2: Well that's an issue to go to resolve, right, But
Speaker 2: you can play one of them at.
Speaker 1: Sick can you?
Speaker 2: I think you can.
Speaker 1: A J was playing at center this year.
Speaker 2: Campbell one of them.
Speaker 1: They both need to be on the field and a
Speaker 1: coach needs to work out how to use them both
Speaker 1: because they are.
Speaker 2: But maybe if you've got Sam Walker and half back.
Speaker 1: There's some points in them. Then if you and Campbell
Speaker 1: and the forward packs not for feeder both firmer.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so all those players you just mentioned, they're in
Speaker 1: Queensland origin. Yeah. The Ford is good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you get a half back with a j
Speaker 2: Aiden Campbell.
Speaker 3: A J would have been close again to getting on
Speaker 3: the Coinsland bench if he wasn't injured.
Speaker 2: Who were the Senators again, I can't remember this Senates
Speaker 2: though they've.
Speaker 1: Got Brian Kelly, Right, Kelly, all right, you're the center.
Speaker 2: Somewhere miraculous. Who signed Sam Walker and get a center?
Speaker 2: That team's a contender. I'm declaring it today.
Speaker 1: Walker had another one of your top eight readments next year. Cool.
Speaker 1: So there's been lots of injuries to keep players over
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I just want to have
Speaker 1: a little, just a little question for you guys regarding
Speaker 1: on who misses who more. All right, so let's let's
Speaker 1: run a list of big name players who may or
Speaker 1: may not play this week. Most of them won't the
Speaker 1: anyone we're not sure about his Nicko Hines. But so
Speaker 1: if we got Calm Pong and Newcastle, Tommy Travoyevich Manly,
Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary, Penrith, Mitch Moses, Parramatta, Nico Hines, Canella, Adam Reynolds, Risbon,
Speaker 1: we can only pick one because I've got two. Well,
Speaker 1: give me a list. Well, I think in order?
Speaker 3: Yeah, look all, I think the Knights are proving that
Speaker 3: they can cope without Kaitlin.
Speaker 1: Remarkable, right, They're three from three without Klein. Yep, going great.
Speaker 3: That being said, not in finals matches, and they won't
Speaker 3: cope without kaaln so right now.
Speaker 1: They're going well.
Speaker 3: Mainly absolutely cannot cope without Tom Traboovich. That has been
Speaker 3: proven over season after season. Ye, Penwoth can definitely cope
Speaker 3: without Nathan Clearly through this period, which.
Speaker 1: Is crazy because clear is probably the best player on
Speaker 1: that list. But I don't know what systematic. Yeah, I agree,
Speaker 1: totally systematic.
Speaker 3: The only cast of that is Brad Schneider, there's the
Speaker 3: backup half is now injured. But they've proven they can
Speaker 3: cope with their Cleary. Paramatta cannot cope without Mitchell Moses.
Speaker 3: That's proven he is. He's a leader on the field,
Speaker 3: he's their energizer. He asks more of the players than
Speaker 3: what willing to give when he's out there. Sharks have
Speaker 3: proven last week against they can cope without Nicko Hines
Speaker 3: and the Broncos.
Speaker 1: I'm fifty to fifty on these guys.
Speaker 3: Yes, they did it against Paramatta last week without Adam,
Speaker 3: but they were absolutely there to be beaten and Paramta
Speaker 3: just weren't good enough. No Recee Walsh as well, he's
Speaker 3: laid out for I.
Speaker 2: Think they've lived without Reynolds. I think they've got enough
Speaker 2: talent they can live without Reynolds. Tommy and Mitch are
Speaker 2: the obvious ones. Yeah, we've seen what Power has been
Speaker 2: like without Mitchell, Moses here there, they're legless, completely legless.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised about Kaitlin as well and Newcast because if
Speaker 3: you asked me three weeks ago, I probably would have
Speaker 3: had Kaylen in the top of that list.
Speaker 1: Who are they beaten?
Speaker 3: They met, they beat the Tigers last week, Dolphins.
Speaker 1: And who did they They've got all that dogs? N
Speaker 1: I love.
Speaker 2: Look anyway, I think Mitch is the obvious one they've been. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're just they're the leaderlessless worries without.
Speaker 3: Dolphins, worries, Tigers, they're beaten without Pong, Yeah without that game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: So they've got the Titans. They've got the Titans at
Speaker 1: Magic Round. Yeah, it's winnable games. They could be forward
Speaker 1: or they should win that game.
Speaker 2: Without kayleb Power, it could be two more weeks without Mitch.
Speaker 2: Most of the way it's going, there's something some talking.
Speaker 2: Won't be back next week, and then if he gets
Speaker 2: picked for Origin. Yeah that's a long that's a long
Speaker 2: line through their season.
Speaker 1: That's a long stretch. But I think you're right there.
Speaker 1: If I was ranking them, i'd say Mitch is number one,
Speaker 1: Tommy two. I know they're three from three, but I
Speaker 1: go Kalen three, the Newcastle Knights and then into Nico
Speaker 1: Adam Reynolds and then Cleary. Who is the best player
Speaker 1: on that list. I would say Penrith missing the least
Speaker 1: and that's because of the players in and around them.
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting cars combination for Penrith this week.
Speaker 1: Very quickly.
Speaker 2: I was really impressed with the Carnela without Nick. Such
Speaker 2: a world and it's one of the top five victories
Speaker 2: in Kronolis history. So well coached, he's such a good coach, great, such.
Speaker 1: A good coaching.
Speaker 3: It's one of their best victories since the sixteen Grand Final,
Speaker 3: and I think it's top five all the time when
Speaker 3: just talking to coaching staff twenty four hours in the
Speaker 3: twenty four hours after Nicko Hines pulled out the work
Speaker 3: that they had to do to try and come up
Speaker 3: with a game plan. Yeah, they only had less than
Speaker 3: twenty four hours to come up with a game plan
Speaker 3: to boot the Melbourne Storm in Melbourne, of which they
Speaker 3: hadn't won in fourteen attempts.
Speaker 1: I thought it was an enormous victory. Huge boys, and
Speaker 1: what do we read it You're off to Magic Round tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Early. What's the match you're looking forward to?
Speaker 2: Look, I think the Friday Night mainly Broncos traditional Friday nighter.
Speaker 2: I know you're a Broncos team's got a few players out.
Speaker 2: It's normally throws up a good game between those two.
Speaker 1: No Reese Walsh roots, no Tommy.
Speaker 2: Bit the start I'm missing.
Speaker 1: Like with rees playing, I thought it was an easy
Speaker 1: ish tip. Do you give Manly a hope that I haven't.
Speaker 3: Been on mainly from day one this year, and they're
Speaker 3: starting to show their true colors as far as what
Speaker 3: I saw, and that isn't their lack of depth there
Speaker 3: over the lines on Tommy and just there.
Speaker 1: They're so so packed. There's some good players in that pack,
Speaker 1: but there's also some top four and four.
Speaker 2: But they've got no I will again I was.
Speaker 3: I was at that Broncos Power game. The Broncos weren't good.
Speaker 3: They weren't good against paramatter. I actually do on the
Speaker 3: basis that the Broncos aren't flying.
Speaker 1: Now I'm waving on this one now. I can't remember research.
Speaker 1: I think I tipped Broncos. What game you're looking forward
Speaker 1: to the Magic Sharky's Roosters.
Speaker 3: The game just this period for Cronola was fascinating and
Speaker 3: that they answered the challenge last week and now they
Speaker 3: got an other great challenge. I love Fitzy versus Robinson,
Speaker 3: Master vers the apprentice. Heines is progressing well, guys. We
Speaker 3: should have a decision by tomorrow and whether he's in
Speaker 3: or out. And big Joey marn who out for the Roosters,
Speaker 3: is a big out for them. Yeah and yep, it
Speaker 3: should be a beauty.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Raiders VP. Bulldogs, two sides. I didn't
Speaker 1: I thought Kenny would be okay this year. I probably
Speaker 1: had him tenth to twelfth and around that cluster. But
Speaker 1: now you look your forecast to go, well, they could
Speaker 1: play finals footing the Bulldogs and the Raiders. As I said,
Speaker 1: well beyond my expectations to start the year, and big
Speaker 1: game for those two sides when we look at potential
Speaker 1: finals foot I know where a long way from finals,
Speaker 1: but I think they're going to be competing for that
Speaker 1: bottom of the eighth spot. So a massive game for
Speaker 1: those two to kickstart magic round.
Speaker 3: Two factors there for that game, Mick is the return
Speaker 3: of Jordan Rapan I spoke about Mitch Mags being a
Speaker 3: real energy player for the for the years. Jordan Rapanna
Speaker 3: is an energy player for the Raiders. He's just an
Speaker 3: absolute competitor. He returns at full back and the other
Speaker 3: one for the Bulldogs guys, they've been able to go
Speaker 3: with the exact same one to seventeen they're played against Penrith.
Speaker 3: Now that's something we haven't been able to say again
Speaker 3: about the Bulldogs in twelve to eighteen months. Their ability
Speaker 3: to keep the same players on the paddock has been
Speaker 3: one of their great downfalls and the cohesion and consistency
Speaker 3: in team selections. Well, they've got the same one to
Speaker 3: seven on as last week.
Speaker 1: So I've had a brain fade with the questions. I
Speaker 1: didn't write him down, so I've got to go.
Speaker 3: We've got one from adjacent super talking about with Jason Stevens,
Speaker 3: the Jason Stevenson, Jason Stevens ja Sewer.
Speaker 1: Will he leave the Dragons?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I
Speaker 2: think there's some interest out there, but I don't think
Speaker 2: I'll go. Has Drake done though, hasn't it taken forever?
Speaker 1: This one done good? He's doing really good.
Speaker 2: It's going really good.
Speaker 3: They might want to wrap him up before he makes
Speaker 3: the coinsland origin side. Do you think he's in are
Speaker 3: going to get there?
Speaker 1: Okay? William Henry wants to know has Trent Robinson lost
Speaker 1: a little pulling power slash appeal was one of the
Speaker 1: top coaches in the league in regards to attracting and
Speaker 1: keeping players.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, forty eight hours ago we're saying no.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if this was a Robinson miss
Speaker 3: If that's fair. This is day for fee to making
Speaker 3: a decision on emotion on a family matte on. I'm
Speaker 3: not going to say that, Dave for Free to knocked
Speaker 3: back Trent Robinson.
Speaker 2: I don't think a matis who coaches that club. They're
Speaker 2: they're an attractive.
Speaker 1: Club, especially why Nick still.
Speaker 2: Uncle Nick's pawned the strings. Baby, I'll always be attracted.
Speaker 1: Moe wants to know your pick for New South Wales
Speaker 1: Blues six and seven. I'm Hines and Moses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: Where did you say in three sixty the other night?
Speaker 1: Remember you said.
Speaker 2: Jerome and yeah, I said Moses out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with Dave. I'm going high.
Speaker 3: And does Mitch need to play another game? It's a
Speaker 3: huge call to go into in Origin. How many weeks
Speaker 3: out for Mitch ten to at least ten?
Speaker 2: I don't think you can go into Origin without playing
Speaker 2: a game.
Speaker 3: Surely have you heard the little tip around town that
Speaker 3: Mitch may have been nudge nudge winkin that you don't
Speaker 3: need to play for PARAMOUNTA to make the Blues.
Speaker 2: Though, I have heard that one you told me.
Speaker 1: But surely that's not why he's not playing.
Speaker 2: No, No, maybe maybe he would have pushed it. Probably not. Actually,
Speaker 2: if Mitch could have played, he would have played guy.
Speaker 1: I think Mitch is a blue and gold guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: lawn Grub wants to know, Hey, mate, can you look
Speaker 1: into why who Manly are after with the Shuster money?
Speaker 1: Any idea on what they may be doing with that? No?
Speaker 2: Have they upgraded some guys. They've got to upgrade some
Speaker 2: guys and extend some guys, and they've got to keep
Speaker 2: Nathan Brown that lodge.
Speaker 1: And got an extension upgrade as well.
Speaker 2: You has been that money already.
Speaker 3: I would say, lawn Grubs just reminded me of something.
Speaker 3: What's happened when you know, when you do boys, when
Speaker 3: you make your lawns? Yes, do you do your edges first,
Speaker 3: or do you mow first?
Speaker 1: Then do your first? And then I'm not.
Speaker 2: Like readman doesn't I don't do my edges. My sons
Speaker 2: actually get my son the suns duties.
Speaker 1: What's your edges? So your gutters are constantly.
Speaker 2: At me about doing the getting the whiper snipper. Just
Speaker 2: cannot be bothered. That's the stiff, that is the sweat.
Speaker 2: I did do the edges. I always in the edges first,
Speaker 2: because you call you go onto the grass and you
Speaker 2: mow over them.
Speaker 1: That's right, you call yourself Australian first. But then I
Speaker 1: get the clippings up with the vacuum thing.
Speaker 3: What I'm not a handyman, but the leaf blower, yeah,
Speaker 3: you blow it, sucks it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, sucker.
Speaker 1: Well it's a multi vacuum. I said, vacuum.
Speaker 2: What don't you just mow over them?
Speaker 1: Are you supposed to do first? What do you do first?
Speaker 3: I mow first so you can see the edges first. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you can see the edges that you now need
Speaker 3: to whip snipper. That's why it does make it easier,
Speaker 3: but you don't even do it.
Speaker 2: Some car use a whipper snipper either, it's not to
Speaker 2: learn it, so we can't leave near a wikness. I
Speaker 2: love to take his toe off for stuff.
Speaker 1: I love doing the lawns list listen to stuff.
Speaker 3: I listened to a NFL fantasy sometimes sometimes it's the
Speaker 3: only time I just get placing quite.
Speaker 1: Of a lawn.
Speaker 2: Freddie used to like weeding even. My goal in life
Speaker 2: is to remove all household duties and give them my kids.
Speaker 2: That's my goal in life. I want to be able
Speaker 2: to do nothing.
Speaker 1: Has that going so fas it's coming good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've flogged a lot of stuffing the lawn, taking.
Speaker 1: Out the rubbish. It's easy, that's like not hard.
Speaker 2: But if I can get someone else to do it,
Speaker 2: I'd rather get someone else. They've got to keep you
Speaker 2: got to leave.
Speaker 1: My example, right, man leaves us some emails. I would
Speaker 1: have thought we Forfeita sign in. The first rumor would
Speaker 1: have been thrill made back to the Panthers. Anything on
Speaker 1: that boys that's from Warwick often thing Spencer Lenu's more. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's only on a two year deal.
Speaker 2: I'd agree, and Tyrell mate didn't he had the chance
Speaker 2: to leave it to leave. I don't think he's going anywhere.
Speaker 1: Josh wants to know, given that Bennett has reportably indicated
Speaker 1: to the land Is that he's interested in coaching PNG,
Speaker 1: could we see the decision to induce them sped up
Speaker 1: if he doesn't put pen to paper with sous No.
Speaker 2: Think a bit of work to do there. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think it will. It will happen. I think we
Speaker 2: all acknowledge it will happen, but it's still a bit
Speaker 2: of work to do.
Speaker 1: And just finally, David wants to know, should the NRL
Speaker 1: go back to simple black and right white enforcement of
Speaker 1: the rules in twenty five so no interpretations or anything
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: Can I say, I just know it's an interesting story
Speaker 2: this morning. Can I just digress a little bit?
Speaker 1: Of course you can.
Speaker 2: So the Premier League are having a vote to get
Speaker 2: rid of var video replace. We can't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll not get rid of them all together. But he
Speaker 2: reckons in soccer, they reckon the goal celebrations are being
Speaker 2: stop because we had that debate here, the vote to
Speaker 2: get rid of it, which is interesting.
Speaker 1: There's only one rule change, NRL.
Speaker 3: Listen if you if you do not get rid of
Speaker 3: the disrupt the rule next season.
Speaker 1: The way under to do it now it's done, but
Speaker 1: get rid of it. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: The Fians are losing their minds over and how referees
Speaker 3: are supposed to judge where his eyes were and whether
Speaker 3: the ball was moving in this direction because Pythagoras's theorem
Speaker 3: said the air condition of the human air humidity of
Speaker 3: the ball was going to move ten degrees this way.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, Get rid of it. The disruptive rule is the
Speaker 1: worst rule in rugby league. Good call, and just finally
Speaker 1: dinner while we sit there and watch the women's origin.
Speaker 1: Obviously you're going.
Speaker 2: Queensin baby depending Champs.
