Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to win a Roll three sixty Rather
Speaker 1: League from every angle, brought to you by Machez and
Speaker 1: sadly it is our last night here at Fremont Street.
Speaker 1: You want a success story, it has been. But the
Speaker 1: great news is where less than twenty four hours away
Speaker 1: to tomorrow's big games, four games back to back, right
Speaker 1: here on Fox League, and the fans are piling in
Speaker 1: joining me in the great Gordon Tallis, Andrew Webster and
Speaker 1: Brent Reed Webby, Welcome on.
Speaker 2: Boo, great to be here, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3: You're ready for this.
Speaker 2: I am ready for this.
Speaker 3: You're ready for the season ahead.
Speaker 2: I think so. I think so.
Speaker 4: The last two days has been a bit rough, but
Speaker 4: I've acclimatized.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to roll. Well, I'm ready to take him down.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that log to the team now read.
Speaker 1: It's just great to see you without that pink jacket on.
Speaker 1: You've got rid of it?
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 5: Can I see Dave Ricky hasn't maternity yet, Bray. I
Speaker 5: think he's trying to poach.
Speaker 6: It off me.
Speaker 3: I think he's done you a favor.
Speaker 7: That's my figure please, and arians loved it, bro.
Speaker 3: God it you're feeling better at that, you pumpute.
Speaker 8: What an amazing afternoon yesterday straight after the show. I
Speaker 8: always saw it State of Oregon, Caxton Streets the best
Speaker 8: moment since I've retired to see the fans march down.
Speaker 6: That was the best.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it, Cordy. I mean it was amazing.
Speaker 1: The scenes are credible. We thought it was big last year.
Speaker 1: When he's bigger, it is better. The fans are just
Speaker 1: loving it. What about the players They've been getting on
Speaker 1: stage dancing where Yeah, it couldn't get any better.
Speaker 4: I run it in the in the Australian today like
Speaker 4: this is the best promotion for the game of rugby
Speaker 4: league since Tina Turner in the late alleys early nineties.
Speaker 4: Now that caught a whole new fan base to the NRL.
Speaker 4: This has the same potential. When I walked out of
Speaker 4: the Legion Stadium last year, I remember thinking, you do
Speaker 4: not want to miss this next year, and it's going
Speaker 4: to grow. But I had no idea it would be
Speaker 4: like this. I think the Wigan the Warrington fans have
Speaker 4: really added to the atmosphere here here in Vegas, but
Speaker 4: the game would never have dreamed it would be this
Speaker 4: this successful when they first flagged this idea a couple
Speaker 4: of years, get.
Speaker 1: Your piece, like at the start, we'll give in reasons
Speaker 1: is why this was going to be a success or
Speaker 1: White pater Vallandis wanted to wanted to bring the game
Speaker 1: to Vegas. Essentially, what are the benefits from this move?
Speaker 2: Well, let's look, I don't know. I'm a bit I'm
Speaker 2: a bit of a realist.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't really care whether we crack the
Speaker 4: US market, whether we get in our American athletes playing
Speaker 4: in the NRL. But besides all that, the promotion of
Speaker 4: the game. You just cannot you can't. You can't dismiss
Speaker 4: like what it's done for the kick on effect last
Speaker 4: year or what this will do for the rest of
Speaker 4: this year. The main thing is it takes all the
Speaker 4: oxygen out of the AFL season. It does, and it
Speaker 4: just they are very they'll never concede.
Speaker 3: They pissed off about that.
Speaker 4: I think that the envious is probably the better word,
Speaker 4: not that the AFL would ever admit it.
Speaker 8: I'm so happy that there's no round grounds in America.
Speaker 5: I reckon that the players deserve a huge amount of
Speaker 5: kudos for last night because they got into it. You know,
Speaker 5: Brian tie has got a bad hammy. You saw him
Speaker 5: doing the splits on the stage.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: I spoked to Iven Day about it and he said,
Speaker 5: I wasn't real happy about it.
Speaker 1: Let's have a look at this. This is brilliant. I'm
Speaker 1: envious to this guy. I mean, I can't he to
Speaker 1: save myself. He nearly injured yourself here. But this was
Speaker 1: This was brilliant, wasn't it good?
Speaker 8: Unbelievable and like you watched every team do it. And
Speaker 8: the players I think they sensed the occasion. I mean
Speaker 8: I think no one, no, onen't you even there?
Speaker 5: You could see how much saying Jordan caught that just
Speaker 5: amplified everything. I mean, the women were amazing. Well, I
Speaker 5: think the fans brought it out in the players.
Speaker 8: I think the fans excitement, the players just come along
Speaker 8: with them.
Speaker 6: And it was fantastic.
Speaker 3: He reminded me of you were OFFNI and I club
Speaker 3: last night the same, you.
Speaker 2: Know, and this is the perfect.
Speaker 4: But when I first think about this, they would There
Speaker 4: was talk that we're going to play him in in
Speaker 4: l A and then the decision was to have it
Speaker 4: in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Tell me, Vegas is not rugby league.
Speaker 4: It's cheap, it's tacky, you have a great time, you're
Speaker 4: unashamedly yourself.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's so rugby league.
Speaker 6: I don't know how you got his cheap, don't know
Speaker 6: what you've got.
Speaker 2: I mean in a good way.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is going to be one of the biggest days
Speaker 1: in the history of rugby league. This morning I was
Speaker 1: actually at the ground and we could see the pitch
Speaker 1: being brought in from outside of the facility.
Speaker 3: It was fascinating to watch and you can see it here.
Speaker 1: It is in mint condition and ready for the players
Speaker 1: to take the field tomorrow.
Speaker 3: This is just out of this world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we saw it last year and then blew
Speaker 5: our minds last year, but it's just as impressed of
Speaker 5: now when you're seeing that.
Speaker 8: It blew us over, like if it didn't have a
Speaker 8: roof on the stadium. I walked in there with break.
Speaker 8: We nely got blowing over, but.
Speaker 3: The conditions in there, it was fast and track.
Speaker 6: We're talking about the size of it. I don't think
Speaker 6: it affected.
Speaker 7: I'll tell what I'm talking about. Promotion.
Speaker 6: They break.
Speaker 7: No one's done more work than you for this game.
Speaker 3: I'm doing my best for the game.
Speaker 7: You're now a US TV star.
Speaker 3: Well, it was a lot. Yeah, I did my best
Speaker 3: this morning. I tried a look at it. We should
Speaker 3: have looked at its stitching me up.
Speaker 9: Are we explain why it's scheming interest with the Americans?
Speaker 9: But it's former Australia in Rugby league player and lead
Speaker 9: commentator for the n r L Brief Anasta Break, an Asta,
Speaker 9: Good morning break.
Speaker 3: Good morning guys, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to be in the entertainment capital of
Speaker 1: the world, Las Vegas. For the US fans, I like
Speaker 1: to compare it to the NFL, but it's a lot quicker,
Speaker 1: it's a lot faster. It's just as physical. You'll see
Speaker 1: some big hits. There's no helmets, there's no pads. We're
Speaker 1: just so excited to be back again. And as I said,
Speaker 1: it's bigger, it's better, and the games are going.
Speaker 3: To be they're going to be very exciting to watch.
Speaker 3: We love America, we love Last Vegas.
Speaker 6: Well, good morning America.
Speaker 3: I want to stitch up. That's all right, let's get
Speaker 3: to you radio right, you've.
Speaker 2: Got the teeth for America.
Speaker 1: Singles through Covil. Welcome to the show. Really, you know
Speaker 1: I got some male over the off season. You've got
Speaker 1: a full sleeve tattoo.
Speaker 7: Entire full sleeve break slot, exaggeration, break. Can I have
Speaker 7: a look at it? I take my shirt off.
Speaker 3: You're like, let's check it out. Let's have a look
Speaker 3: at his tattoo. Oh my god, Oh my god?
Speaker 5: Is that that is my wife and my children's initial?
Speaker 5: Sorry short, it's entire. You should have got the hangout
Speaker 5: at least two of the letters. I should have got
Speaker 5: my tyson let the hangout. I remember their name. Really,
Speaker 5: I was very well behaved in Thailand, Gordy nutlike you
Speaker 5: in Vegas.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: We had a good debate last night about Pedroith whether
Speaker 1: they should be Premiership favorites or not.
Speaker 3: It was the other night, wasn't it. Yeah, you believe
Speaker 3: they shouldn't be.
Speaker 6: So I'm going to get you.
Speaker 3: We know your opinion. I'm going to go to webbe.
Speaker 4: Then well it's simple A bready to knock a champion,
Speaker 4: like I mean, you know, I know they've lost some players,
Speaker 4: but I wouldn't be I wouldn't be running up. I've
Speaker 4: had him on the same line of betting. To be
Speaker 4: perfectly honest with Melbourne. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think
Speaker 4: they're they're the two comfortable favorites with Brisbane.
Speaker 7: Whether they can on the show to have an opinion
Speaker 7: not to sit in the fence.
Speaker 8: They haven't shown us anything have they have? Have Penish
Speaker 8: shown us anything why they can't do it. They have
Speaker 8: lost players in the past kick outright. They've lost some
Speaker 8: big stars. I know lou and Fisher Harris, but it's about.
Speaker 5: Who they've lost, Gaudy, it's about who Melbourne have got
Speaker 5: that team in the Grand finalist last year Nelson I
Speaker 5: said for Solomon, he didn't play, he'll be back. They've
Speaker 5: signed the fan and you two commandment, and that's that
Speaker 5: was their weakness. I think that they're middle of the
Speaker 5: front row and it's got better.
Speaker 6: And we all know.
Speaker 5: I know about the other players and that's fine, and
Speaker 5: this fine is ridiculous, so you put the forwards around that.
Speaker 5: I just think with what's Penrith lost, what they've gained,
Speaker 5: I think the tables are turned.
Speaker 1: He makes some good points. Now I'll put this to
Speaker 1: everyone here on the penal. Is it just a two
Speaker 1: horse races Brisbane? Is it Melbourne and Brisbane?
Speaker 8: Brisbane signed a million dollar players in Ben Hunt they're
Speaker 8: better last year their top five players.
Speaker 7: I'm a min doll player anymore. Gordy, He's not a
Speaker 7: ben doll player anymore.
Speaker 6: He is a million dollar play because.
Speaker 7: Million dollars in Brisbane.
Speaker 6: What's the eyes and what's the honest thing?
Speaker 7: On five or six hundred?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: So he got halved?
Speaker 7: Yeah, apparently, wow, are we going to get out there?
Speaker 8: But like the if you look at Brisbane and then
Speaker 8: the injuries that had last year and they were young,
Speaker 8: I think three minutes away from winning the Grand Final,
Speaker 8: you would think the year they had, the preseason that
Speaker 8: they have and you think Brisbane's got to be in
Speaker 8: that race like you.
Speaker 6: Think they do.
Speaker 4: But don't you think if they take to Madge there
Speaker 4: they're a Grand final, possible Grand finals. If they don't,
Speaker 4: they're out of the eighth.
Speaker 2: Well you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like that, if we hear all this stuff, I know
Speaker 4: Buzz has been running this line about them not being
Speaker 4: happy with Madges tough, tough training techniques.
Speaker 1: That I'll sell what my theory and that is, but
Speaker 1: they're not used to his training, they're not used to
Speaker 1: his methods at the moment. Yeah, there'd be a couple
Speaker 1: of them complaining about how hard they're being trained. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I reckon in two or three
Speaker 1: months time when they're sitting in third or fourth position.
Speaker 1: But we think and Madge for what he's done for
Speaker 1: them in the preseason. Some people may disagree with me,
Speaker 1: but that's what I believe. That's what's what's going on there,
Speaker 1: and that's why they're probably thinking what they're thinking at
Speaker 1: the moment.
Speaker 3: But overnight, let's get to some break news.
Speaker 1: Well it's not breaking news, but Mitchell Moses has signed
Speaker 1: an extension with the Paramount of Eels.
Speaker 3: Now this is huge news for the club.
Speaker 2: How did this go down?
Speaker 5: Well, I've been talking with this for quite some time
Speaker 5: now because that options his contract for twenty seven and
Speaker 5: twenty eight, the two season twenty seven twenty eight. They've
Speaker 5: been talking to Mitch about taking those options out of
Speaker 5: the deal and they've reached the green where he gets
Speaker 5: another year on the end of twenty nine, he gets
Speaker 5: a little bit more money in twenty seven to twenty
Speaker 5: eight and the options come out of that contract. So
Speaker 5: I mean they're in a position at the moment where
Speaker 5: they need stability. But everything that's going on with Dylan Brown.
Speaker 5: They need some stability in that team. He's their captain
Speaker 5: and he's shown some commitment to the club.
Speaker 6: Is that a good thing for Dylan Brown?
Speaker 4: I what him for Paramount in terms of him staying.
Speaker 4: I actually don't think it matters. Thirteen million over ten
Speaker 4: years like there is. I'll be stunned if Dylan Brown
Speaker 4: doesn't end up at Newcastle for all the all the
Speaker 4: extra money, well they're going to I think the paramot
Speaker 4: are going to give him an extra two hundred a
Speaker 4: year to try and get rid of the clauses out
Speaker 4: of Dylan Brown's contract. But that sort of money, that's
Speaker 4: a life changing contract of thirteen and over ten I
Speaker 4: don't agree with it. I think it's ridiculous to offer
Speaker 4: Dylan Brown a ten year deal. You'd want a lot
Speaker 4: of clauses in that one your way, but I'd be
Speaker 4: I can't see him. How do you knock that back?
Speaker 1: We'll go a bit deeper into that. Does this mean
Speaker 1: that they're they're conceding defeat here Paramount by signing Mitchell
Speaker 1: Moses extending the upgrade? Are they are they believing now
Speaker 1: that he's gone.
Speaker 4: I think that the negotiations with Mitchell had started before
Speaker 4: the ones with Dylan. So you want it, you want
Speaker 4: one or the other, and I'll tell you what I
Speaker 4: probably want. Mitchell I had a Dylan.
Speaker 5: I don't think they're conceding defeat Braith, but I think
Speaker 5: they they've got an uphill battle on their hands to
Speaker 5: keep him. I think they know Newcastle probably sure my
Speaker 5: favorites to get him.
Speaker 7: At the Marble.
Speaker 3: You know Newcastle?
Speaker 6: Will we know it?
Speaker 3: Right, You've got a good relationship with the club. What
Speaker 3: do you think what's going to happen?
Speaker 7: Because it's not. It's not a ten year, thirty million
Speaker 7: dollar deal. There's a ratchet clause the contract as well
Speaker 7: so the cours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but so there's a ratic clause deal.
Speaker 7: But the most I can ever earns one point four
Speaker 7: million dollars.
Speaker 8: So the rat he's got a ratchet up there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's for the ins, the viewers or people watching.
Speaker 1: A ratchet claws means if the salary cap goes up
Speaker 1: whatever percentage that is, then his deal will go up
Speaker 1: even more.
Speaker 7: So that's Paramata's understanding of the Newcastle.
Speaker 1: Do that's crazy? Ten years a one point three with
Speaker 1: a ratchet law. I thought there'd be no ratet clause
Speaker 1: given the length of that contract.
Speaker 4: If I'm Dylan Brown, I'm going and tackling the Knights
Speaker 4: see and getting him down the contract giving him a kiss.
Speaker 8: Well like when Dylan Brown last year when Mitchell Moses
Speaker 8: was out he struggled to run the paramatter site.
Speaker 7: Because I understand why they're doing it because their issuers.
Speaker 6: Team.
Speaker 7: They've been a team under at on My Brian. They've
Speaker 7: made the finals four out of five years, but they've
Speaker 7: never really given it a shake because.
Speaker 5: They're so over a line on Calen Pomber and the
Speaker 5: idea is to bring in Dylan Brown and to take
Speaker 5: some of the heat off color Pomer how pusue is,
Speaker 5: which it might get to later.
Speaker 7: Klen's contractual situation, so.
Speaker 3: I spoke about that last night ready, so fair enough.
Speaker 1: I understand why they want Dylan to partner Kaylan to
Speaker 1: put to make them a premiership for us, right, but
Speaker 1: all we've heard over the past couple of years, and
Speaker 1: it could be speculation, innuendo, whatever, but we've heard that
Speaker 1: Kaylan has looked around at times. That's again it's speculation.
Speaker 1: What if Kaylen leaves and Dylan arrives, they're in the
Speaker 1: same position they are.
Speaker 5: But the whole visit by Dylan coming it shows Klan
Speaker 5: that they're ambitious.
Speaker 7: They're a club that wants.
Speaker 3: To pump and I think it's great. It doesn't mean
Speaker 3: it's going to happen.
Speaker 5: I think Kaylan desperately wants to win a premiership and
Speaker 5: if he sees that Newcastle can help him get there,
Speaker 5: I think he'll stay. If Newcastle can't shown that, Calan
Speaker 5: will be gone at the end of twenty seven, be
Speaker 5: it to another inner or club, or to run I
Speaker 5: mean rugby, Ino and Itch.
Speaker 7: He may want to scratch as well. So I think
Speaker 7: they need to show them ambitious and this is ambitious.
Speaker 7: You can argue about whether it's insane money, but at
Speaker 7: least it's ambitious.
Speaker 5: It's trying to get yourself in a position where're top
Speaker 5: fourteen that can win as I like it.
Speaker 3: I just don't like this.
Speaker 2: I just think I don't I think ten years is
Speaker 2: way too much. But like it's Newcastle.
Speaker 4: It's like used to be one of the most fertile
Speaker 4: breeding grounds for halves and quality players. What does that
Speaker 4: say to your local juniors coming through the system At Newcastle?
Speaker 4: We don't think there's a we can get a half
Speaker 4: out of that area of what in the next ten years.
Speaker 2: I just think it's I don't I just think it's
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: All right, We're going to have hats and Young coming
Speaker 1: up with Josh PAPOALII, and we're also going to cross
Speaker 1: the Sam Vergers, who I believe is going to be
Speaker 1: in the crowd. But one club that we haven't spoken
Speaker 1: about this week is the South Sydney rabbit Os. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: unfortunately for them, but Treal Mitchell out for eight weeks
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury. Kem Murray ruled out for the
Speaker 1: season with his achilles now, devastudying news for both players,
Speaker 1: devastudying news for South Sydneys and the club. And Wayne Bennett,
Speaker 1: the supercoach, comes in with the worst possible situation.
Speaker 3: How do we see this playing out?
Speaker 4: Well, Wayne, if anyone can get a depleted South Sydney going,
Speaker 4: it's Wayne.
Speaker 2: But I mean the acids on them early on, isn't it.
Speaker 1: But Kenny, though, I mean, this is this is this
Speaker 1: is a side that was struggling anyway and now have
Speaker 1: two arguably they're two best players out for.
Speaker 6: A long period of time.
Speaker 3: How do you see it ready? Where are they at
Speaker 3: you're worried.
Speaker 7: About him, I'm worried about mccaud to. You know, wayn
Speaker 7: better than anyone.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think Sam Burger said it the other
Speaker 5: day as well. I mean, don't don't ride off Wayne band.
Speaker 8: But do you know, Gordy, I think I think Taylor Look,
Speaker 8: Murray's really hard to replace, and they don't replace him.
Speaker 8: I think Talus Duncan has shown that he's enough and
Speaker 8: plays a similar style, and they got shust right.
Speaker 1: So I think if there's even murmurs around Shustera not
Speaker 1: being happy and training and looking like he wants to,
Speaker 1: I don't know, is that is that if you.
Speaker 2: Go about that, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Well, they're not happy with him. I mean he's not playing,
Speaker 5: he didn't play any games in the preseason. I think
Speaker 5: he's struggling with his desire at the moment. I wouldn't
Speaker 5: be counting on Josh.
Speaker 4: Shulzell like I did Finy contract it was it was
Speaker 4: a specuative contract anywy for.
Speaker 7: Me to keep for them. Latrell.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, maybe they can't win the comp without
Speaker 5: without Cam Murray, but they need to get Latrell back
Speaker 5: as soon as they can.
Speaker 7: If he's help for an extended period. If he's out
Speaker 7: to our potential.
Speaker 6: I think they murray they can't win it without Latro.
Speaker 3: That's fair Gordon, I agree, Yeah, I don't. I don't
Speaker 3: think we should be riding the Bunnies off just yet.
Speaker 1: But the elephant in the room Lewis died the signing,
Speaker 1: the big signing from the South Sidney rabbit Os in
Speaker 1: the off season to play in the halves to replace
Speaker 1: Lachlan Ilius. There seems to be some doubts over Lewis.
Speaker 6: Am I right? Am I wrong?
Speaker 4: Well, it's true you know this talk about whether he's
Speaker 4: an NRL standard half back. I would have thought you
Speaker 4: had that sort of before you signed him in the
Speaker 4: first place. There seems to be lots of questions about
Speaker 4: who signed him already. I think who signed him? Who
Speaker 4: signed I'll.
Speaker 2: Put it this way.
Speaker 4: If Lewis Dodd has a as a as a brilliant year,
Speaker 4: it'll be Wayne Bennett who signed him.
Speaker 2: If he didn't, it'll be something.
Speaker 8: Say that he has an okay year. South don't make
Speaker 8: that decision with out contact and Wayne, you would think so,
Speaker 8: you would think, what do you want?
Speaker 3: Who signed him?
Speaker 4: I don't think Wayne signed him I think signed the
Speaker 4: recruiting manager signed him.
Speaker 2: But I don't think Wayne stood in the way. That's
Speaker 2: the best way to destroy it.
Speaker 7: I think it's ability to throw the baby out of
Speaker 7: the bathroom.
Speaker 6: Definitely.
Speaker 5: He's had a couple of preseason games and look, there
Speaker 5: are doubts over him, There's no question there's doubts over him.
Speaker 5: But you know what, I think he played a lot
Speaker 5: of footy at Saint Helen's. I think he won a
Speaker 5: compet Saint Helens for memories played for England. He's not
Speaker 5: a Dad Dodd.
Speaker 7: He's got some ability NRLA.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you who played well, Humphreys.
Speaker 1: So you know, I think Humphreys is the one who's
Speaker 1: going to step up. And probably you'll start season at halfa.
Speaker 7: It has to because Lewis. But I'm saying I'm not
Speaker 7: just saying one week you he's going to stay there.
Speaker 7: I think you'll stay I reckon that will be back
Speaker 7: a week two.
Speaker 5: I think that there's too much money, too much time
Speaker 5: in not to keep giving first shot shot at the
Speaker 5: half back spot.
Speaker 2: Trill matches and the two trill matches. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: you're on three six.
Speaker 4: You're on three six here where you say I'm sitting
Speaker 4: on the fence or something, I'm going to go.
Speaker 6: You now, I love you, I love you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this has made me very excited.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 3: We actually had a buzz Rothfield catch up with uncle
Speaker 3: Nick yesterday. Let's take a look.
Speaker 7: What about you, Nick?
Speaker 10: With all your commitments, You've come all the way to
Speaker 10: Vegas for nine's tournament.
Speaker 6: You're so passionate about rugby.
Speaker 11: Law, very very passionate. I'm really excited to be here
Speaker 11: with Arista brand. Maybe it sounds a bit silly, but
Speaker 11: I thought, you know then I'll you know, I'm doing
Speaker 11: such a great job and Bit of Landers is initiative
Speaker 11: to come over here and try and stamps rugular league.
Speaker 11: I thought we should as a club supporting, so we
Speaker 11: made the decision and I'm so happy that we've done it.
Speaker 6: But the club's invested half a million dollars.
Speaker 11: Yeah close to that closely.
Speaker 6: I think it's worth. It's good for our brands and
Speaker 6: for our fans.
Speaker 11: Back home to be able to say we've got a
Speaker 11: rooster team in America based Newport Beach, so it's very successful.
Speaker 11: But now we have a team running in the in
Speaker 11: the ninth competition near the NRL organized and hopefully we'll
Speaker 11: do well.
Speaker 10: I know you've set up an academy around Los Angeles.
Speaker 10: Do you see the day where an American might come
Speaker 10: through that academy and come and play an row?
Speaker 11: Well, I hope so, you know, I think it's it's
Speaker 11: going to be, you know, a bit hard, but eventually
Speaker 11: we might get pick up somebody decent. I think, as
Speaker 11: you know, we tried that before in the nurlso back
Speaker 11: in the eighties. It didn't work out too well. But
Speaker 11: you never know, you know, we might be to pick
Speaker 11: somebody up. But that's not so much the idea. The
Speaker 11: idea is to grow a brand and wherever we can
Speaker 11: around the world. It's good for our fans back home
Speaker 11: to they're really proud to say that we're going a
Speaker 11: team in America.
Speaker 3: Now you're here in Vegas, not just for this, just
Speaker 3: for the event.
Speaker 2: What do you think of what praty to start?
Speaker 3: It's just what it does for rugby laying unbelievable.
Speaker 11: I think it's probably one of the smartest and best
Speaker 11: initiatives to come out there or ever. Because it's our
Speaker 11: numbers game. You know, you've got to chase the numbers
Speaker 11: and years is such a big population. You only have
Speaker 11: to get a fraction the population support our game. And
Speaker 11: you know we've probably grown out our game experientially.
Speaker 10: You know, do you think we seriously can make a
Speaker 10: footprint here?
Speaker 11: I think in topics, I think it's getting over. You
Speaker 11: can see versus last year. There's a lot more interest.
Speaker 11: Everybody's talking about it. I think the smart move again
Speaker 11: by the NERL. I believe they're going on a free
Speaker 11: to air network here, so we you know, maybe hundreds
Speaker 11: of millions of people watching it.
Speaker 6: Cool. Yeah, cool.
Speaker 1: Buzz roth Field, the great Buzz Rothfield there with the
Speaker 1: legend himself, Nick Politis.
Speaker 3: I love Buzzer, Sonny.
Speaker 6: He's looking.
Speaker 2: Who's cool with that?
Speaker 4: Nick Politis? With the roosters, medium manager. Buzz can hold
Speaker 4: a grudge unaware you do. In the end of it,
Speaker 4: you two of it have been great. Thank you Webb,
Speaker 4: Thanks break. We'll see you again to great Devue by
Speaker 4: the way, thank you brother, Thank you.
