Final preparations are underway for Sunday's designer 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: on our man Bommer Bedell is embedded with the Broncos 25 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: Pete have the wheels come off the bus already. 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 5: Well, it looks like it has bread. Good evening to 27 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 5: all the viewers. 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 6: I can tell you that the Broncos hit a bit 29 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 6: of a pothole today. 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 5: They were off to training and the Broncos. 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 6: Bus broke down and that they had a flat tire. Now, 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 6: my sources telling me that a certain Field Rothfield may 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 6: have been throwing thumb taps across the road as Madge 34 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 6: pulled into the stadium. Now they went to train at 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 6: the News World Center of Excellence. Now some mind games 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 6: from Madge. They booked two venues. They booked like hard 37 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 6: Over which they've trained that two years ago the Decider, 38 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 6: But they went to the u so Wel Center of 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 6: Excellence instead, where of course Michael mcgui worked when he 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 6: was new so Well's origin coach, so I knew familiar 41 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 6: terrain for him. But when the players completed the session, 42 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 6: they came back to get on the bus and they 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 6: found that the air had gone out of the back tire. 44 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 5: They had to make some running repairs. 45 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 6: They called the tire serviceman in and they had to 46 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 6: change the tire. So bit of drama, a bit of 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 6: tension for the Broncos. 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 5: Today. 49 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 6: But they all looked smiles and happy at the FanFest 50 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 6: and it was a great, great affair this evening in 51 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 6: this afternoon. So they're ready to go on Sunday. 52 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Boma. So you've been around the group for a 53 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: long time. 54 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 7: How do your sense they're going and they're handling this occasion. 55 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 5: Well, Gordy. 56 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 6: As you know the old man trees, you have to 57 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 6: lose a Grand Final to win one. And look they've 58 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 6: been there two years ago the Broncos. It was heartbreaking 59 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 6: circumstances under Kevy Watters, who did a great job that year. 60 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 6: But I looked at the players today, Gordy, and there 61 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 6: is a real steal. I think there's a calmness but 62 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 6: also a focus that they can get this job done. 63 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 6: And look Melbourne the pressures on them, Gordy. Their conversion 64 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 6: eighting grand finals is not great. They lost last year 65 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 6: and they've never won a premiership in the post Kemp 66 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 6: Smith there so Cameron Munster spoke about that today. So 67 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 6: the Broncos feel that they've got Melbourne's measure. They beat 68 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 6: them in the last round, of course, and with Grease 69 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 6: Walsh on fire, Pat carried him back from suspension of 70 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 6: painhast dominating in the middle. I think they've got the 71 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 6: triumvirate to get the job done. 72 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 4: On Sunday, Hey, Bomba, Buzz, as you're fully aware, I've 73 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 4: had a sort of hostile relationship with Madge this year. 74 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 4: I wrote at the beginning of the season that players 75 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 4: were struggling early on, I repeat early on, to adjust 76 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 4: to his particularly demanding style of coaching. 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: Would you back that up? 78 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 4: And you heard it a dub Ale heard it north 79 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: of the border with the journos aware of this. 80 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, it's a good question, Buzz, and I won't 81 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 6: shy away from it. And yeah, I had heard those 82 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 6: sentiments absolutely, and look not so vociferous as to say 83 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 6: that the coach should be sacked and that there was 84 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 6: made your mutiny or there was a dressing room revolt, 85 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 6: but certainly early on, I think there was some There 86 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 6: were some tensions, and there were some unease with a 87 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 6: few of the players. But I think Buzz it was 88 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 6: what they needed. I mean, I've covered the Broncos for 89 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 6: twenty years. I think they needed more of a mental 90 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 6: steal in the place. I think there was a complacency 91 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 6: at the time. At times it has led to their 92 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 6: demise in big games, and I think Malcolm MacGuire was 93 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 6: hired to inject the harder edge and sometimes there were 94 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 6: going to be teething problems, Buzzy. 95 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 5: But your mail at the time was right. I have 96 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 5: no doubt about that. 97 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 6: I heard similar things, but it was never to the 98 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 6: degree that it became major toxicity and something that the 99 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 6: Broncos couldn't overcome. 100 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 5: They've overcome that. 101 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 6: Now they're rocking, they're rolling, they're playing as good as 102 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 6: they ever have and now they'd have to get one 103 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 6: more win and Malcolm MacGuire lifts that shield for the 104 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 6: first time in nineteen years for Brisbane. 105 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 4: I see you've got Sydney Hardy in the background, is 106 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 4: at a cruise on again. 107 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 6: I've got some good news for you. The Broncos Awards 108 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 6: night is actually here on the harbor. I say, malcolmcgy 109 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 6: is getting a boat stand on the yob and yeah, 110 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 6: you're invited. 111 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 5: There'll be. 112 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 6: There'll be caviat there'll be corn chips, there'll be all 113 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 6: leaves for you, buzz So you're welcome to join us 114 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 6: when the Broncos win the premiership on Sunday. 115 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: Bomber, poor cruelly mate on the game this weekend. 116 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 8: Do you think there is any chance that Madge will 117 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 8: have a late switcheroo and perhaps start as Raman. 118 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 6: Look, I think it's unlikely Cruels, But I spoke to 119 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 6: Madge a couple of hours ago here and I asked 120 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 6: him that very question, and he had that little twinkle 121 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 6: in his eye. 122 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 5: He's reveling in the mind games, and he. 123 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 6: Said, Pete, I'm thinking about it, and it's something that 124 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 6: he hasn't ruled out officially and completely. I still believe 125 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 6: that ben Hunt will start at six. But we all know, 126 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 6: of course Crawls what Ezra Meim did in that twenty 127 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 6: twenty three Grand Final three try blitz Kriig in ten minutes. 128 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 6: It was magnificent stuff. He is a genuine, fully fledged 129 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 6: second receiver. And if Brisbane want to get off to 130 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 6: a fast against the storm side that will try and 131 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 6: dominate them in the middle, then Israeim's flashy feed could 132 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 6: be the difference early. So Michael McGuire hasn't ruled it out. 133 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 6: He's playing some games, but I personally think Ben ben 134 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 6: Hunt will start at six on Sunday. 135 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 7: Hey bomb, Patty Carrigan comes back and he wants to 136 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 7: sit down with the Broncos bosses. 137 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: Do you know why? 138 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do, Gordy, And there's two interesting news streams 139 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 6: here for the Broncos. So Pat Carrigan, of course, he 140 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 6: signed until the end of twenty twenty eight with the Broncos, 141 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 6: but I can tell you that his management is in 142 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 6: discussions with the Broncos hierarchy at the moment about an upgrade. 143 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 5: To his an existing deal. 144 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 6: Now he's on about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars 145 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 6: this season. You could argue that's unders for a man 146 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 6: of Pat Carrigan's ability. That's prompted his management to go 147 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 6: to the Broncos and say, look, can we get a 148 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 6: little bump up? Can we beef up his deal? I 149 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 6: think that will happen in the fullness of time, possibly 150 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 6: at the end of the season, but I think you'll 151 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 6: find that Carrigan might be on about eight fifty or 152 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 6: nine hundred thousand next season, So there is talk about 153 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 6: that in all Also paining hass I can tell you 154 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 6: that he's he's middlefield in four so they've tabled a 155 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 6: three year extension of pain haars worth about one point 156 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 6: two million a season, So that has been talking about 157 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 6: three sixty Golrudy. Of course Haus having talks with them. 158 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 6: But my mal is he won't be laving the Broncos. 159 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 6: He won't be going to free agency. He will sign 160 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 6: a new deal with the Broncos after the Grand Final. 161 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 6: That's great news for Broncos fans. 162 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: Good on your Obama, you are all over it as usual. 163 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: Before you go there, mate, are you actually a Queenslander 164 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: or a new South Welshman or a be confused? 165 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 6: Well we'll break three and or four kids a Queenslanders 166 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 6: and one of their birth certificates is rubber steam to 167 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 6: my mountain inga.

I'm asking you? 177 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 4: No, they're all good. They they've coached together before down 178 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 4: in Melbourne. And who walked away isn't Ricky and Robbo 179 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: a few years back? Rick wouldn't shake it? What Gradman 180 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 4: was that? 181 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: I think nineteen was it? Yeah? 182 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: Mate, they're as good as gold. These two. 183 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: They did have a stink, didn't they a couple of. 184 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 8: Years back, A long long time ago, twenty and thirteen? 185 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: I think it was. 186 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 9: Yeah. 187 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 4: But look, they coached together in Melbourne and they've obviously 188 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 4: got a relationship that's been re established since they had 189 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 4: a bit of an issue. But look, I think, to 190 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 4: be brutally honest every coach in this camp, but sometime 191 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 4: we'll have a fallout after a particular game or you know, 192 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 4: the way things have been a. 193 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 7: Tactics't Ben told me a long time ago there was 194 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 7: a coaches that he goes if I get too close 195 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 7: to them, I won't coach my best against them. And 196 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 7: I found that pretty strange because you sit in the 197 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 7: coaches box. But they don't have to be friends. They 198 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 7: don't have to like each. 199 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 8: Other, especially most coaches and even Ricky and Bellamy. On 200 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 8: the week that they're coaching against each other, there is 201 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 8: a little bit of hostility, but they could still be mate. 202 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 5: After it. 203 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 7: After it they do, I think before they go yeah, 204 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 7: because I think the Queensland plays back in the day, 205 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 7: like when they first started playing, Arthur Beaton and Jack 206 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 7: Gibson were playing cards and the players went up to 207 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 7: see Arthur and there is with the new South Wales 208 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 7: coach and it took away a bit of the shine. 209 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: Now Bellamy had it over Madage for a very long time, 210 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: as you can see here with the record, but around 211 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: twenty seven Madge turned the tide. He did, and what 212 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: does he take from that? Because that was a shocking record. 213 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 8: It's not just what Madge takes from it, it's what 214 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 8: the players take from it. Because we all know that 215 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 8: for years forever Melbourne have been the Broncos who do side, 216 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 8: haven't they like they've always had the wood on them 217 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 8: and with a lot of other sides. And so for 218 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 8: mad and also the players to go down to Melbourne 219 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 8: and do what they did that day's it would have 220 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 8: to be a breakthrough Mayber like look at this rock 221 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 8: Welsh goes through your man Monster. 222 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: It's just it would give them great confidence. 223 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 2: I watched that game live. 224 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 7: Melbourne were a little bit down and Hughes went off 225 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 7: really early, like he said, the shoulder comeback, went off 226 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 7: with that, but Brisbane did a job and it was 227 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 7: clinical and Melbourne I still Melbourne and no matter who 228 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 7: wears that jersey, they normally do the job by Brisbane 229 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 7: are really clinical. 230 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 4: They'll give Madge and give the player absolute that they 231 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 4: had that win. And it's while his record jordinary. Trent 232 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: Robinson in recent years has got a terrible record against 233 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 4: Penrith and Melbourne and couldn't get him over the line. 234 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: And it's just a fact. 235 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 4: You know, some coaches are more difficult to beat than others, 236 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 4: and I reckon he's not the only one in an 237 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 4: ordinary record against belly. 238 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: Looking at both of these teams, that made me think 239 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: who has got the better team on paper? 240 00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: So I'd love your opinion. 241 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: Both great teams if you look at them one through seventeen, Gordy, 242 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: who has the better team? 243 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 7: I think Melbourne have a better spine, Brisbane had more 244 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 7: X factor I think if I look at him, I 245 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 7: think Melbourne are better better side defensively, I think Brisbane. 246 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: Had more attacks. So the answer is Brisbane. 247 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 7: I think Brisbane have more star started players. If you 248 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 7: look at their forward pack, pay has's the best in 249 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 7: the game. Patty Carrying. We just spoke about him. He's 250 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 7: the best. So you think that their forward pack's pretty even. 251 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 7: But with those two guys, they've got two million dollar 252 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 7: half back sitting there in Adam Reynolds, and you've got 253 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 7: as remember, they've got a very young, exciting back there. 254 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 4: I reckon Melbourne, they've got them covered in a lot 255 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 4: areas except the medals, which is so important in finals, 256 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: and we're paying Harsh and Patrick carrying and playing lot 257 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: forward and they've got a lot of medals taken roll off. 258 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: That's where Brisbane have got a definite vantage Crawls. All 259 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: though Stefano were sensational. 260 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 8: Life he was mate, you're right with the Fords. I 261 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 8: just think that the way I look at it, the 262 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 8: most important players for a reason of the spine, and 263 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 8: I think the storm. 264 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 3: We've got it all over him in the spine. 265 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 8: Aside from Rhys Walsh, I think in my eyes, Harry 266 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 8: Grant has been the best player over the back end 267 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 8: of the season, probably since Origin won. Hughes came back 268 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 8: last week and he played like Superman. Munster had a 269 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 8: fantastic game. It just seems to me that Bellamy, even 270 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 8: though they were beaten by the Broncos in what was 271 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 8: it round twenty six or whatever it was twenty seven. 272 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 3: He's just time. They're run to perfection. 273 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 8: Bellamy has They've improved each week as they've gone along, 274 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 8: and I think they learn out of what they've lost 275 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 8: in the past. 276 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: I think they come back a better side. 277 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: This shows you mention the spine. Who do you think better? 278 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: I'm we calls you. 279 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: I think you know you can look at the team 280 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: because if you look at Melbourne, if their packs just go, 281 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: if they had tayto Taylor, they can contain Payne Hars. 282 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: I think that Melbourne has got better defense so they 283 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: can control the rough mall. 284 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: If they control them up the rough moll. 285 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: And Brisbane don't Harry Grant then takes advantage of that 286 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: through the middle, I think, you know. And then if 287 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: Harry goes, then you've got your own. Then you've got 288 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: Cameron and you know that's and having Frank Ponisi on 289 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: the other night when we said you're peaking at the 290 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: right time, he straight went to our defense has improved 291 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: the out of site in the last two or three weeks, 292 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: which is an area that they needed to work on. 293 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, I'd lean towards Melbourne. You 294 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: mentioned the spine CRUs and you said that, well, you 295 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: think that their spine and their legacy will be defined 296 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: by this result on the weekend. 297 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 3: Well, I think it will. 298 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 8: I think you know, when you think about the Melbourne 299 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 8: Storm and all the succession premierships they had, it was 300 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 8: with Billy Cooper and Cameron Smith, you know what I mean. 301 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 8: And the last competition they won, Cameron was still there. 302 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 8: So we've now got the best spine in the competition. 303 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 8: You've got Harry Grant arguably the best player, Cameron Munster 304 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 8: arguably the best big game player, Jerome Hughes neck. 305 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 3: And neck with Nathan. 306 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 8: But they still haven't won a comp and I'm not 307 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 8: saying this is the end for them, but even Cameron, 308 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 8: we don't know how long he stays in Melbourne. I 309 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 8: think it's their chance to define their legacy, to leave 310 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 8: their their mark on history. 311 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think they know that too. 312 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: And just Gordy, just as you asked me that question before, 313 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: I think they've got a real advantage with their wingers, 314 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, with Warbrick and Coats. You know they're six 315 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: foot three or four, they're over one hundred kilos. They 316 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: start their sets and the great targets in attack you. 317 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 7: Because when I went to that game, ca Toni stays 318 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 7: every right. He didn't get penalties. He just kept on 319 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 7: taking coats out, so. 320 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: He was lucky he didn't get sinned in the there. 321 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 4: But it's how that's referee officially, and they get AFL 322 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 4: coaching those two weeks. They're good and there on the 323 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 4: area of stuff and they're just both outstanding. I thought 324 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: Warbrick had by far best game of the season last fight. 325 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: Right the Broncos nineteen years since their last title, so 326 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: there is some expectation and pressure. 327 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 4: I look at that the other day, John Howard was 328 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 4: still Prime Minister. That's how long really was. 329 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, did you like Johnny? Yeah? 330 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 4: I was a Johnny Howard fan, buddy, I thought, was mate, 331 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: what about you? 332 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: It's just I was a bit young. It was more 333 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 2: your time, you know, were you Gordy? Anyway back to the. 334 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 4: I'm just trying to explain good people who do realize 335 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: it's been a long time, we get, we get. 336 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 8: Gordy and I were having a chat about it about 337 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 8: the back before the show and we worked it out. 338 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: Was it six premierships? 339 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 8: Gordy in the first eighteen years of the Broncos and 340 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 8: none in the nineteen years since. And you're talking about 341 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 8: the most powerful club, the club with all the resources. 342 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: The struggle for me is the coaches. 343 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 7: I didn't realize we went through that many coaches because 344 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 7: it feels like Wayne coach. 345 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: There and has been a couple, but been true about 346 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 4: coaches and that six right, Well, there you go. They 347 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: are definite under retrievers. 348 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: Over those nine twenty years. 349 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 4: They definitely have had, if you say, the resources, the facilities, 350 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 4: the new center of excellent but certainly the talent, you know, 351 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 4: to win a couple of premierships in that time. It's 352 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 4: so overdue, maybe this Sunday of change. 353 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: It's you know, the momentum is one thing, and you 354 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: know they're playing fantastically well, they're riding that wave of momentum. 355 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: But then with momentum now and the position there in 356 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: becomes expectation of a following in Queensland and throughout you 357 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: know it throughout queen Queensland, Brisbane. That's nearly bigger than most, right, 358 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: So it's a big game. Yeah, Adam Reynolds, buzz you're 359 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: big on still the fact that he left the house 360 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,119 Speaker 1: and if he wins his premier. 361 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am. I'll tell you what I think. 362 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 4: If Adam Reynolds wins the camp gets a ring on 363 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: Sunday night, it will go down at Sous is one 364 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 4: of the greatest recruitment for blunders in the history. 365 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: He was sent to different rosters. No, but just hold 366 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: on Gordy twenty twenty one. Right. 367 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 4: He wanted to resign, desperate to stay. Waterloo boys said 368 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 4: the other night he is to practice his goal kicking there, okay, 369 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 4: and Sous wanted to offer one year reduce money. He said, 370 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 4: I want to you know, wouldn't do it, And Sous 371 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 4: then had to sit back and watch him take himself 372 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 4: to Brisbane and ultimately steer this side into the Grand 373 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 4: Final on Sunday afternoon. In between losing Reynolds. They tried, 374 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 4: They've tried Lewis Styd He was an epic failure. Didn't 375 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 4: get much of a go there did he in six games? 376 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 4: So I can't recall such a poor decision to let this. 377 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 4: He's proven you look at the amount of games played 378 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 4: this year. But he does get injured. 379 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 7: Yes, I know that, but there's a certain age, right 380 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 7: that you get to where you do get injuries. And 381 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 7: you look at day Cherry Evans and my point to that, 382 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 7: and I think it is a bit of a blunt no, 383 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 7: but it is a bit of a blunder. But why 384 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 7: didn't Adam back himself and go you, I'll do the 385 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 7: one year right? 386 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 2: If they did get it. 387 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 8: Wrong, they did get it wrong because at the time, 388 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 8: the rumors were out there everywhere. 389 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: Weren't they buzz. 390 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 8: About him here but not being fit enough and his 391 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 8: body wasn't going to hold up, and they weren't going 392 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 8: to give him two years. 393 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 3: Yes you can stay, but there's no guarantees. 394 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 8: But I think he'd earned the right at that stage 395 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 8: to get two years. And here we are four years later, 396 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 8: like four seasons, did not. 397 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: Medically retired retired. 398 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 8: Maybe that's so that they read them with another on 399 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 8: this bloke because he's still playing, he's playing in. 400 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: The Grand fight. Gets Now, you know, hindsight's a wonderful thing. 401 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you another thing. 402 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: Wouldn't Souse talk about injury problems? 403 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 4: And this is not a shot at Latrell Mitchell, but 404 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 4: look at the amount of football he's in the last 405 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 4: couple of years because of injuries. 406 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: So they need to do something about this. 407 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 8: They also said at the time puzz They said we 408 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 8: won't give out multi year contracts to players over thirty, 409 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 8: and since then they've given Cody an extended deal. I 410 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 8: think Jack Whiteon joined the club on a three year 411 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 8: deal when he passed thirty, yet Reno couldn't get two years, 412 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 8: kept saying they. 413 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 3: Should have kept it all right. 414 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: Last night, who's who of rugby league gathered to celebrate 415 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: the Dallim Awards.

Look, 456 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 4: we were that Turbo Latrell, Stephen Cricht and the Hammer 457 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 4: Herbie Farnworths obviously with the UK personally val Hams of course.

I'm not 469 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 4: missing him. There was making a little bit more sense. 470 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 7: Than but I'm not on the selection committee right for 471 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 7: the Australian town. But I do understand that when the 472 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 7: Prime Minister's turning up to PNG, there'll be some players 473 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 7: that are going to play for spots. 474 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: So maybe those guys might get. 475 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 4: A final squad. No, well, I wouldn't think They've got 476 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 4: to be fully fit, so you can't.

We spent the whole season talking 508 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 8: about Lachland Galvin walking out on the West Tigers with 509 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 8: eighteen months of his contracts still to go. 510 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 3: Yet here we've got a couple. 511 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 8: Of blakes, you know, aside from Zach Lomax talking about 512 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 8: leaving or potentially leaving with one year and suddenly it's 513 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 8: become this big issue. Our game hasn't respected contracts for 514 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 8: so long. I hope it becomes a line in the 515 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 8: same moment, and I hope they start forcing clubs and 516 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 8: players to respect contracts for the full great point. 517 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, very very good, beef. 518 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 4: I have a bit of a problem with Zach Lomac's 519 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 4: in that he didn't like Wing. Last year, he winged 520 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 4: about playing, he asked for release, got a release sign 521 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 4: with Paramatter big money four years, twenty twenty eight, didn't 522 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 4: play Sandak gone to the wing. 523 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: Do you believe what you've read in the paper? 524 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 4: And I think it's right Zach once out again twice 525 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 4: in twelve months. 526 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 2: I don't like that, Crauls, you didn't like this statement 527 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: or no. 528 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 8: So when Clinton Schakowski came out and spoke about this 529 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 8: and tried to put it to bed in the story 530 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 8: with Peter Bdell and the Courier Maile, he basically says, well, 531 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 8: his contract and he's playing there unless the contract situation changes, 532 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 8: Like isn't that many to talk break? Like what the 533 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 8: hell is that he has got a contract that runs 534 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 8: to twenty twenty eight. 535 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 3: A contract situation. 536 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 2: I've said it already. I believe he's gone. 537 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 4: Yessing to tell you something, your male So I ring 538 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 4: Jason Rowlsey is on holidays in Jubai. He rings back 539 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 4: and I said, well you let him go, and he 540 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 4: said I'd seriously consider him. So I actually think to 541 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 4: pick to use Zach's money. Josh Hada car came to 542 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 4: a lot Ben they thought on one wing to use 543 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 4: his money, they'd rather use it to find a five 544 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 4: eight for Dylan Brown. So look, your male that he 545 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: probably won't play an RL. 546 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: Again is probably on the money. 547 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: I think it is, And after further chats and conversations, 548 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't think exactly be there next year. 549 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 2: But watch this space. Is that the biggest story you've 550 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: ever broken? So it's very impressive, reporter. 551 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 3: But it's interesting though. 552 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 8: You can expand on that though, too, because zach Lonbak's 553 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 8: right as good a season as he had. 554 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 2: What are you going to break the story? Can you 555 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: let this man finish. 556 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 8: As good a season as he's had for mine? And 557 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 8: you wrote about it. I wrote about it.

Yeah, 565 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: we're going. 566 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: We've got to go because we've got the Catchies and 567 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: coaches and Grand Final coming up. 568 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: Crawls.
