But the last 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.280 here extend is a lovely old lady to be blown 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:22.239 up about the ABC. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.560 That's good, thank you for the support. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.960 Well, good story, but. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.680 Do you think that'll keep the part is in? 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.280 Honestly, this isn't the peak of the show. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:34.239 We're in real trouble. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:40.880 Let's get to some serious chat here, some sad news 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.520 with you're going to bring us. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.079 Yeah, look, let me tell you there was a meeting 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.280 yesterday and we'll go into it more depth. Of a 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.919 panel of judges about a dozen judges Peter Landi's and 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.480 Andrew Abdo to name the next immortal and the next 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.480 Hall of Fame inductee. 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.560 And Ray Hadley very. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:08.880 Very emotionally told the room that the great ABC and 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:14.799 two GB caller David Thirsty Morrow was gravely ill and 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:20.720 you know, from cancer and so and probably doesn't have 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:25.080 that much longer with us. And like Peter Velandi's did 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.520 last year when Ian Heads and George Piggins were he 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:34.120 fast tracked their nomination. So what happened there yesterday? And 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.440 David Morrow, you know, started calling back in nineteen eighty 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.320 I think, and the ABC and you know my favorite 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:45.320 try ever in Test Football ninety ninety, Ricky putting maul 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.160 over at Old Trafford. He Thirsty called that. But anyway, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.360 cut to the chase. David Morrow has been inducted into 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.400 the Hall of Fame, which I think is a beautiful 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.200 fitting reward. Very sad. Yes, they were very special. The 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.320 same time, understand, Ray rang Thirsty's wife while he was 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.600 at David's bedside and broke the news. And they're very 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:09.800 very special. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.839 And well deserve. Yeah. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.480 Yeah, well and look I'm not you know, I was 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.720 never that close to him, like you know a lot 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.400 of his colleagues were. But I spoke to him very 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.920 early when he was diagnosed with cancer and we had 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.960 a good chat. And he's had a fantastic career. What 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.520 I loved about him was that the ABC's you know, 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.920 probably a more serious commentary network. And then he went 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.719 over and joined the gibbras GB and he sort of 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.279 became a Gibra and he could mix and match and yeah, 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.800 and he was a good caller, very caller. Yes, so 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.960 mind you, not only rugby league boys. He could call 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.560 the races, call the cricket. And I think he's in 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.159 the SCG Hall of Fame, isn't he? 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.120 Is that the decision people, and he's and Andrew make 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.599 the decision, the fast track of buzz. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.720 Yeah it was yeah, but well it's good bye. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:07.600 Hardly spoke beautifully though, and very respectfully. And I love 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.560 what they're doing for the families. You know, it was 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.160 so important for Philip Head's joy Heads and all Lean's 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.760 family last year for Ian sadly passed. There's a lot 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.440 more to talk about, which was a bit happier yesterday too. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.800 If you want to, well, yeah, you're part of all 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.159 these discussions. The immortals look like, can you give us 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.880 the latest there on what's the plan for this year? 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.720 Yeah, well we'll have a bit of a debate here 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.039 about it, but I can tell you that there is 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.560 going to be an immortal name next month. I have 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.280 no idea who it is. They gave us a piece 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.359 of paper. We had to write one name down, not 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.920 three to one name. Do they give you a list 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.800 short There was a short list there and I could 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.080 probably tell you the short list set. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.080 I mean, the other interesting thing you were saying, buzzer 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.960 that produced the waiting period, right, the three years now, yeah, 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.360 rather than five years, which brings Cameron Smith into the mix. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:04.320 I assume it was. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.080 Really well, I brought Billy Slater, Cameron Smith, Jonathan Thurston 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:09.440 into the mix. 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:15.000 And yeah, well I don't think for me there's no 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.280 debate bus Yeah. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.600 Yeah, well, I'll just say none of us have a 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.400 clue who it is because it was a secret vote. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.680 You know there was Bradley Clyde, Ron Kirt, Lorrie Daily, 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.440 brad fit Kenny Irvine. You know that Brett Kenny's name 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.520 was there. Lang and Lazarus Lockire Stirler. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.240 And it's camp for me, it's Cameron Smith. Yeah, I 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.800 mean I think you look at Cam's record, it's beyond 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.520 what anyone when anyone's achieved this game. Captain Country, Captny 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.960 State played four how many games? 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:47.279 It was? 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:52.560 Four first grade games. I don't think there's no debate 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.960 for me. But you know there's some great names here. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.719 This is a bay. But I'm with you. Read I've 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.800 said this before. I think I've said this as well. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.840 Of my generation of people that I've watched, I've seen 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:08.800 two mortals, only two Andrew John's camp Smith for mine, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.600 they're the only ones that I would classify. 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:12.880 You wouldn't wack Thurston. 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:13.720 I wouldn't know. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:20.600 He's the only one I reckon Billy. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.560 My view is, and I certainly can't be Billy Sad 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.080 has to be in a mortal because a great Warren 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.640 said he was a better player than Langland's mate. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.800 Yeah, yeah, I just think I think it's such a 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:35.800 special absolutely, and I think we should induct as few 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.120 as possible so it doesn't agree with you more so 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:39.720 for mine. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.680 That's just And mind you, they're going to update the 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.400 Hall of Fame every year, which they should. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.280 Well, there are hall of famers, right, the. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.680 Immortals is only going to be one every four years. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.680 What's intriguing there, buzz is you've got to be in 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.520 the Hall of Fame before he can be in a mortar, right, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.960 But and Campsmith's not in the Hall of Fame. But 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.720 just checked earlier, it might have been yesterday and you 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.640 can go Hall of Fame. You can simultaneously almost go 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.080 in the Hall of Fame and become awardal So that means. 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:12.360 That arguing you one bit about Cameron Smith, but out 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.960 of respect, I think people have also in that room yesterday. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.400 Also you know Ron Cook, do they know? 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:21.880 Do they go? 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.480 I don't know all those guys got claims right, because they're. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.240 All Locke Hall of Famers, right, there's not obviously not 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.080 a bad plan if you want to argue with me 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.640 around Billy or not, I'm not going to sit here 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.320 and and really taking a task on it, right because 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:44.040 he is. There's every argument for Billy to be in 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.800 a morning right. I just think it's got to be 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.280 the top of the. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:51.280 Top, absolutely, and you've got to and that's sometimes you 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.760 just got to wait, Yeah, how long has copied?

I'm I'm honestly only going 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:04.760 camp Smith. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.920 So as you saying, they've made the decision. Now they're 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.000 going to induct one and more than every four years, okay, And. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.520 The good news is too there are a lot of 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.360 other stories outside of that. You know that there's going 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.920 to be an emphasis on women. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:19.720 Women are going to Hall of Fame, right, women. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.960 Referees, Yeah, referees, coaches. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.439 Arry Gomos should be the first referee. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.880 In his name came up. It should have his name came. 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.400 He would have got the Coeensland votes. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.720 They should all have their place in Hall of Fame 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.840 in terms of anyone who contributed to the game, to 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:40.320 the game. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.440 But when you look at the list of contributors and 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.040 you think the likes of Ken Arthur's and John Quayle, 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.679 you know, and some great names there. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:48.040 Are you in there? 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:49.080 Buzz?

It was really nice to get 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:19.240 in there. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.680 And I'll tell you what you appreciate more than anything 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.640 that David Middleton talk about people who need to be 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.600 in the Hall of Fame. And David will get there 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:32.400 one day when he starts telling us stories about Harry 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.719 Sunderland and you know that, my goodness. Yeah, he has 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.120 got a brain chip inside his hell in there and 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:41.760 it stores data. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:43.040 Mate. 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.360 You don't have to give us names, buzzy. But how 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:46.959 many people judging the immortals? 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:48.560 There was a dozen? 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:49.040 A dozen? 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.920 Yeah, yeah, we must be thirteen and fourteen. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:55.720 I don't know where near that. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.880 There was some great females, Debbie Splane who's also on 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:04.800 the Australian Sports Commission Panels and Tracy Homes from the 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.439 a b C. Yeah or former ABC right. 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:15.640 I think so so interesting it it is an interesting discussion. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.440 The only thing is if you go by my theory 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.080 and you're only in duck cam Smith in four years time, 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.400 you probably don't have an immortal. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.600 No, that's in four years time you do Billy's flight. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:29.720 There, I wouldn't have Billy in there. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:36.160 Well, there you go. That's you don't respect Rabs' opinion. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.320 Of course I do. Of course I do. Of course 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:38.560 I do. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.079 But I'm not going to be suggesting ram saying a 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:41.439 little bit. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.079 I'm not sitting here. I'm not going to sit here 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.760 and make a with you. Let's get this so you've 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:50.360 got Billy in. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.480 Might all be honest, I'm the Queen's and on with Mick. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.800 I'm actually not convinced Billy should be in there either. Billy. 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:04.280 The only thing with Billy is that he did make 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.840 a lot of a lot of errors. Right, if we're 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.240 going to critique his game, Okay, we're going to sit there. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:09.760 And I can't. 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.840 Make this is nonsense, that is sorry or mortals are 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.400 the pinnacle? 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:18.640 Well, they can't make mistakes. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.839 No, no, But I'm just well, why don't you think 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:21.520 it should be in there? 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.719 I'm not sure if his career dictates. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.839 His shot, why what's the reason. 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.240 You can't compare his career to became Smith. I agree 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.319 with Tom Smith eclipses him. I would argue maybe j 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.040 T is ahead of him as well. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.880 They're they're They're the two that I would argue for. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.320 And I think it's the I'm with you a little bit. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.360 I think about what about Darren Lockyer. No, it's really 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.600 interesting because the voting before we were at a restaurant 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.600 and trammine and where the last when Joey came in 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.559 and you know now I got punted for the other 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.440 one when they brought it everyone but the one when 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.920 I was Darren Locke had just retired and I said 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.640 to the guys in the room, do we really need 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.800 five years to work out lock here? It should be 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:10.240 an immortal that's the thing, right, that's recency biases what 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:10.760 they call it. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.280 Yeah, I'm a bit like Mick. I think honestly for 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.240 the got the value a little when they added so 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.720 many people last time. I think they had to go 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.240 back mate, they had to put it. But I think 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.440 it should be a really elite, elite group. 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:24.079 And how many is that? 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:29.840 Now? What's that again? Now? A pretty significant Yeah, you 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.200 really want to? Committee has to be so so even 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.240 committed to one every four years. It shouldn't be we 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.160 bring one every years. It should be we'll look at 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.560 whether we bring one and every four years and if 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.960 we think that, no, one's when we don't do it. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.240 When I retire and a lot of people listening to 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.560 this are hoping it's very soon I am going to 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.880 nominate my replacement. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.760 On the Immortal Source Committee. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.679 I'm open to the best offers. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.080 Love onnth Later i'll replace Ready can replace you, then 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:04.959 I'll replace Ready. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.840 What's the age I'm not retire not long after you, mate, Bulldog. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.400 Yes, I'm a bit tired with him and you two. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:18.120 You are actually there YouTube keeping.

The sharks are they cooked? No, Nikko, heines, I don't. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.040 Think they cooked meat. Because of their position on the ladder, 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.560 they're still third. Correct, well, they finished in the top four. No, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.520 but they'll make the Have you seen our soft Their 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.240 drawer is no Melbourne, no pen or no roosters. 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.040 That seems to be a theme of there last couple 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:38.320 of years. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.800 They can't beat the pool teams in then yeah, well 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:43.600 West Tiger is going to be interesting. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:44.040 Well. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.120 I can't bear the thought of rich and knocking me off. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.640 I can't see text he wrung me this week he 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:52.400 was cocker hoop. 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:58.080 I think he's he smells up that happened. So I 0:16:58.160 --> 0:16:59.240 might take the weekend off. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.439 But if they lose that game, buzz, I actually think 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:05.640 they're in danger missing the eighth. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.359 I think they'll make the eight, but they won't make 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:08.960 the top four. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.600 No finished the bottom of the eighth. They'll go out 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:12.880 straight out the back. 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.239 And that's the sad thing. And what I wrote on 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.919 the Monday, and I don't want to rehash old news, 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.040 but we did no recruitment, not one player outside of 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:21.800 Billy Burns. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.439 But they've been so good the year before. I know 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.720 that exoded in the playoffs wet. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.719 And Waite, Graham and but I think Finucan medical retirement, 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.280 just his presence around the sheds was cost But I 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.600 Fitzy and his coaching staff backed themselves to get more 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.000 out of their current roster. And you know what, they 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:41.760 haven't got more. 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.520 They haven't got one. No, no, no, no, that's right. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.320 So I think they're in real trouble. You know. Then 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.040 they've got no Nikko for how long? Two months? 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:49.359 Maybe? 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.600 Well, the best case scenarios back with the final round 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.560 of the season regular season. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.600 Honestly, I can see them. I can see a sliver 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.000 a chance they missed the finals, which would be remarkable. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.080 That would be like, if we're so low on. 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:09.040 Confidence at the moment. 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.320 Pull that up now. Points they're on twenty four points, 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:15.680 four points clear of eighth, ninth, tenth. 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.480 That's a lot of games if. 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.760 You look at the sides that are in the sides 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:21.960 that are out of the eight at the moment, on 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.760 twenty points of the Knights and Dragons, they don't leave from. 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.760 The Sharks, they play some of those teams. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.800 Then they play the Broncos, who could then they play 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.199 the canber Raiders buzz who we might get to a 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.119 bit later at some point. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:34.680 But are you going to bag Riki? 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:36.880 Well, I just had to issue on a public apology 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.800 that you made me, and since then they have really 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.960 gone too well, they won a game since then. 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:42.760 I don't know. 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.520 I did predicting the come bottom four and you made 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.679 me apologize so we'll see where it finishes. Make you 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.200 do anything you can apologize? Well, I did, yeah, because 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:51.720 I'm going good. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:52.840 W a capitulation. 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:57.200 They were going good and now now back yourself mate. 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.399 There's in journalism mate, but can. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.719 Stick pressed into it. 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:08.680 I've had to do a little bit of backbed the club. 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.760 I think we've all no one's pretty to Kennedy go 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.399 as well as we did. What about Paramatta locked in 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.280 Jason Ryles for the next four years? Good appointment buzz. 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:18.400 Yeah, I like it. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:23.080 I think Risey is a very very smart, intelligent human 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.960 being who knew he wasn't quite ready for the rebuild 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:30.840 that Plannagan's undertaken it, Saint George Lawara, He's waited for 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.800 his moment. He's had experience under Robbo, experience under Belly, 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.919 experience in rugby which hasn't been all that flash with 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.320 Eddie Jones more recently. But I think he can coach 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.240 and yeah, yeah, I. 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.119 Think it's a great appointment. I was obviously him and 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.639 Josh Hannah in the end, and I think Rilesey served 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.640 an apprenticeship done his time being part of winning clubs. 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.760 You mentioned the Roosters in Melbourne and I think he 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:58.720 was a logical man for the job, and Josh Hannell 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.840 get his chance next of the rank potentially, But I 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.560 think this is Ben Hornby's sorry, Ben's obviously flying at 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.000
