Walsh returns at fullback. 8 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: Foguty after that one week off is back for the Raiders. 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: White and Walker back for the Bunnies. Galvin included on 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: the extended bench for the Bulldogs. 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: Will he play? 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 3: Won't he? 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 2: We think he will? And Sam Walker Yes ready. 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: Sam Walker returns in New South Wales Cup for the 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Sydney Roosters. 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: Gord, he really had him gone, He had him rested. 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 4: Gone, shouldn't play for the rest of the year. Roosters 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 4: have no chance. It would be good just to go back, 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 4: just get some top I, get some confidence, get some 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 4: match fitness. 21 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 3: And the Roosters got by. 22 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I imagine he'll go straight back into the 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,639 Speaker 5: first grade side. 24 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 4: Absolutely, But you think you want some time, just to 25 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 4: get some time, You would think you guys always thought 26 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 4: you'd come back. 27 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: Right, Oh, look it is. It is more delayed than 28 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: we thought originally. 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 5: I think the Roosters initially put out a time frame 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 5: a round twelve. 31 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 3: It's going to be around fifteen. 32 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: Yeah. 33 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 5: I don't think you ever could have kept him out 34 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 5: for the whole season, given his marquee half back. 35 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: I mean, why wouldn't he be come back. 36 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 5: He's part of a Rooster's side, which it feels on 37 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 5: the cusp of something special. Albeit I got beaten late 38 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 5: last week. Yeah, he's a world class player. And if 39 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 5: you've got a world class player and a side that's 40 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 5: trying to hunt into the finals, then and there it's 41 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 5: mad as I think he won't be the Rooster's performance 42 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 5: the other day, you can't understand how good that was, 43 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 5: Like Camber were great, but it was one of the 44 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 5: better matches of the season. And given who they're missing, 45 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 5: and they're missing him, they're going to be on the 46 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 5: charge come the back end of the season. 47 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, Poor lady just got that one wrong. 48 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: Didn't he feel sorry for Big news? 49 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: Of course? 50 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: Likely Galvin. 51 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: He's just days away from making his Bulldog's debut. 52 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: His coach Cameron throughout. 53 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 6: That We've only had two sessions with him, but he's 54 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 6: fitted in really well. The boys accepted him into the 55 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 6: group and it's getting to know everyone, all the names, 56 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 6: all the players, and he was really comfortable with understanding 57 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 6: he had to come here and earn the right to 58 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 6: be in our team. And I'm really confident in our culture. 59 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 6: He's strong enough to have people come into our group 60 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 6: and accept them with open arms. And we had a 61 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 6: couple of spots in our top thirty open which we 62 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 6: left open for reasons like this in case the quality 63 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 6: player pops up. And when Locke said that he wanted 64 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 6: to come join our club, definitely spoke to a couple 65 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 6: of senior players and yeah, they were really excited about 66 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 6: him coming. Toby will be the halfback on Monday against 67 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 6: the Eels, and he's had a great opportunity all a 68 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 6: year to get all the reps of training and we've 69 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 6: been really open about some things we want him to 70 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 6: do better and he's working really hard on that and 71 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 6: now our coaches are working really hard with him on that, 72 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 6: as they are with every other player in the squad. 73 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: Yes, all eyes will be on Lachlan and they have 74 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: been for the past few months, including ourselves. 75 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: He's got to the Bulldogs. 76 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: He's been named in the extended bench, so we're still 77 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: unsure whether he's one hundred percent going to play. We're 78 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: hearing he most likely will now Toby sext and he's 79 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: going to start at seven, which we heard when they 80 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: signed Galvin he was about to be dropped. 81 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: So that's an interesting call. Where does that leave Galvin? 82 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 3: I think it leaves Galvin at the moment. 83 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 5: Well, in my opinion, I think he should play Ysobel's cup, 84 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: I really do. Camera Crello just said it. He has 85 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 5: to earn the right to get into our side. So 86 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 5: if that's the case, then he should go and play 87 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 5: a game or two in the lower grades. 88 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: You know what else it would do. 89 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 5: It would appease in the simmering angst in the playing 90 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 5: group right now that this kid's going to come straight in, 91 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 5: and would also allow Galvin just to find his feet 92 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 5: and allow the players that are there to think, you 93 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 5: know what, this kid's not going to get preferential treatment. 94 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 5: He's not going to push his way to the side. 95 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 5: He will earn his way into the side. 96 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: What's he going to get out of playing this? 97 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: Others caut well break. It just takes this thing out 98 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: of the story. For this is the long stories. It's 99 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: just the long game. It doesn't dog, it doesn't take 100 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: the head out of the story. 101 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 5: A few weeks back when he played New South Wales 102 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 5: Cup for the Tigers, you went out and watched the 103 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 5: game like it's still going to create as the long Wolves. 104 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 5: They didn't buy him to play Second Over, but I'm 105 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,559 Speaker 5: saying they buyed him to play NRL. If it means 106 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 5: keeping some harmony inside that camp, then I've got no 107 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 5: problem with him going by feet. 108 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: It just a question. 109 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 5: Seraldo said, he's going to earn the right he did. 110 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 5: Has he earned the rong? Reckond Serrauto has done here, 111 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 5: Like there was a lot of concern that this may 112 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 5: disrupt the harmony of the Bulldog's team. They're sitting up 113 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 5: the top of the ladder. Everyone's done their job. You know, 114 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 5: if you go and drop rud or if you go 115 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 5: and drop sext and it could create this armony. I 116 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 5: think Cameron Serrauto was proving to be that good of coach. 117 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 5: He wouldn't have brought someone in from the outside if 118 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 5: he hadn't first had the likes of Stephen Crichton and 119 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 5: Kick how and Matt Burton and his senior players on 120 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 5: board about this decision, because while it may be a 121 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 5: problem with the West Tigers, they're loyal to their team, 122 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 5: They're loyal to their success. He would have had to 123 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 5: have had the conversation and said, boys, this is a 124 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 5: team first culture. This is what we're going to do. 125 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 5: What do you reckon, brok I believe it. If it's 126 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: going to disrupt them, we'll find out. Regardless of whether 127 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 5: he plays. You so I was cut this week or not, 128 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 5: it's going to be an issue. If that is the case, 129 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 5: it may not be. I think just get him in there. 130 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: You know. I don't think dropping sex and straightaway is. 131 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: Going to help. 132 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 2: But get him in there. 133 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: Get him in amongst the playing which they already have, 134 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: let him come off the bench, playing a few different 135 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: positions or whatever that may need to be, whilst monitoring 136 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: the way Sexton's going and the way he's controlling the team. 137 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: And then they have the option of dropping Sexton or not, 138 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: you know which They've got that now. Anyway, I think 139 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: that the quickie you throw him into the furnace, the 140 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: better see how he reacts. I just don't see what 141 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: the point would be buying a big signing like Himick, 142 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: if they've talked up, can possibly get them to a title. Now, 143 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: why waste a week or two in New South Wales 144 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: Cup get you in the first grade? 145 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 4: I agree, I think you all make really good points, 146 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 4: but I throw him in there. You bought him to 147 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: play first grade, that's where you want him to do 148 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 4: if he puts someone's nose out of joint while. They 149 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 4: brought him because they don't think that they could win 150 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 4: the comp with the roster that they have. But sext 151 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: And was rumored to have beenelieved on the book. Now 152 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 4: Siralo has decided to keep him there, which is what 153 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: I think is good leadership. 154 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 3: However, it does show though smoke and mirrors it could be. 155 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 5: It does show, however, though, that Galvin isn't going to 156 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 5: walk straight into the side. So it's an indication to 157 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 5: me that he has to do some sort of apprenticeship 158 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 5: for one of a better term rules before he just 159 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 5: marches into that side. This is a side that's winning 160 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 5: the premiershere. Yeah, but you're talking New South Wales Cup said, mate, 161 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 5: he's a kid, he's got fifteen years of inter rule. 162 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 5: If there's one game in New South Wales Cup which 163 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 5: eases him into the squad and shows to those blokes 164 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 5: and he doesn't get preferential treatment that I've got no 165 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 5: problem with it. 166 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: You promise you won't turn up watching I may pop 167 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: out the look you're in secure? You go? 168 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: It is interesting. 169 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: I think sexan' is gonna he's got the heat on him. 170 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: If he didn't have the heat on him already, he's 171 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: coming to this game with Galvin sitting on the bench. 172 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: He knows he needs to perform at his best and 173 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: get a win for his team or else he's probably gone. 174 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: Right. 175 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: So, but Galvin's pr campaign in the last few days, 176 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: what have we made of that? 177 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 5: It's been pretty good. I think he's actually come across 178 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 5: quite well Galvan. Albeit we know the questions were vetted 179 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 5: and they were staged, but I think the way he 180 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 5: presented himself, I personally was quite impressed. 181 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: It's impressed. 182 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 5: Well, no, it's not that I wasn't impressed with what 183 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 5: he did. He's a nineteen year old kid. It was 184 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 5: totally scripted. We weren't told the truth about the things 185 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: that have caused the division at the Tigers. I thought 186 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 5: it would have been a better idea to save that 187 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 5: just getting back on the field and let his actions 188 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 5: speak for him for themselves. 189 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: I think he's spoken really well, there's no doubt. I 190 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: don't think it's done harm. 191 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: I was with you, Caruls. 192 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: I didn't see the need in him talking, especially when 193 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: he couldn't really say a lot. 194 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: You've got to get out of the way, breath the 195 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: but what's out of the end of view? 196 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: What's out of the way. 197 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 5: You've got to get the interview out of the wouldn't 198 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 5: you know what's good out of the way, the media 199 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 5: sniffing around it. The media gone essentially now, but no 200 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 5: one's chasing about it now. But no one is chasing 201 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 5: him for a one on one interview. He's done the interviews. 202 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: Because the interview was boring. Well, you can call it 203 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 3: what you're like, Gordy. 204 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 5: He's done his interviews now and now it's free space 205 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 5: in terms of the media chasing him around. 206 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: Cool. I think it was a good idea to get 207 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: it done. 208 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 4: I think with what's happened, if I was advising him, 209 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 4: just let your footy do the talking, go out there, 210 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: earn the strips, and then every said I earned the 211 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: stripes when he got there and keep everybody quiet and place. 212 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 5: Well, if you guys want him in the side, that's fair. 213 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 5: But where do you play You've got Bailey Havard on 214 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 5: the bench? Are you going to run two halves on 215 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 5: the bench or be Hailey? Is he can play? 216 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: And you know. 217 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: That's where it's interesting, and that's where it's a big 218 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: decision for the coach first around it because as soon 219 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: as I heard that, I thought him and heywould It's 220 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: not typically what you'd go for as a coach in 221 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: a team, but you know, this is different circumstances. 222 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: But what suits him at the moment, Braith and his 223 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 4: career second ball or off the ruh one off or 224 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 4: second man. 225 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't think it matters what suits him right now. 226 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: I think it's what the Bulldogs wanting to me that 227 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: that is required. And I think that they think he's 228 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: that talented and that much he's got that much footy 229 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: IQ that no matter where they want him to play, 230 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: he'll do a job and do a good. 231 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: One at that. 232 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's all it's about him, and 233 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: I think he's made that known. You know, he's kind 234 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: of said all the right things and been quite selfless 235 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: in the way that he's approached this transition over to 236 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: the dog. So I think he's pretty open minded as 237 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: to where he plays. 238 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 5: I actually think it's very fascinating to wait and see 239 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 5: what happens, because I think most people would agree with 240 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 5: what you're getting out there, Gordon, that he's best suited 241 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 5: for five eight. 242 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: That's what we know. We haven't seen him play first receiver, 243 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: half back. But what that does? 244 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 5: Bulldogs seem to need that Sexton style, you know, chief organizer, 245 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 5: because Matt Burton has showed in the past that he's 246 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 5: not that player. But if he does end up at 247 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 5: five eight, then where does Burton end up? Does Burton 248 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 5: end up in the centers? Then is Stephen Krichton the 249 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 5: one that shifts back to fullback? What about Connor Tracy? 250 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 5: Someone older me. 251 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: That looks like a better balance having Galvin at six 252 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 4: with a bit more time and space and sex and 253 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 4: is doing a pretty good job at seven. 254 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone who sees him as a 255 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: genuine seven that I've heard or spoken to. 256 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 5: That's the one under the under the gun? 257 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: Is it Hayward that comes in as the seven? 258 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: I thought that Hayward might have played seven this week 259 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: and they would have had Galvin and just made the 260 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: call Like that's what I was hearing when they signed Galvin. 261 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: I heard that Sexton was about to get dropped anyway, 262 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: that was coming out of Canterbury. 263 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 5: But well, why Look, I know the number on sections 264 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 5: back is seven, but why is Sex than the one 265 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 5: that's got to be punted straight away? He's led this 266 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 5: side as the playmaker to the top of the table 267 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 5: and then suddenly his kid Strollshi off the street, his 268 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 5: wonderful potential and then Sex is at the moment, I think. 269 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: The problem is Gordy. This is why they are where 270 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: they are. Poor Toby is because he hasn't had a 271 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: heap of clubs after him. Else he would have signed 272 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: somewhere else, or the Bulldogs may have rushed or. 273 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: Upgraded and extended. 274 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: He hasn't had the interest, which is which is surprising 275 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: to mean a lot of us that that he hasn't. 276 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 5: But even even if that happens, though, even if Heywood 277 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 5: ends up taking sextant spot as the seven in the team, 278 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 5: it still doesn't answer where Galvin ends up. Because Galvin's 279 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 5: got to come off the bench when he comes off 280 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 5: the bench, he plays. 281 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: Five, eight, doesn't he? Yeah? 282 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 5: So so ultimately, when he fits into that team and 283 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 5: he's won the trust of all the players and he's 284 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 5: playing good enough, someone is then going to the seven. 285 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 2: He's there to play seven. 286 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: They have bought him to play Seven's for the right now. 287 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: They brought him to play seven. He's not coming on 288 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: the place here, he said to go. 289 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: You don't think he is a seting. 290 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 2: No, but but I'm not. 291 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I don't think he can do as good, 292 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: if not a better job than sex than seven. Okay, 293 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: I just I think I was just saying that if 294 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: you ask all the great judges and all the experts 295 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: in our game and ex players, they don't seem as 296 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: a genuine seven. Doesn't mean he can't go and do 297 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: a great job there at all. Like he's a talented kid. 298 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: He's a you know, I'm not sure if he's a 299 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: generational talent yet. Look, I haven't probably seen enough, but 300 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: he's got the potential to be. 301 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 5: He played a half back role at the Tigers, didn't 302 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 5: he essentially? But he is a running six, isn't he. 303 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 5: I don't think he's half back personally, but if someone's 304 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 5: got to go Crulse and something has to give, does 305 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 5: Burton become an edge back role. 306 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: I'd see Burton Moore as I don't even try the 307 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: full back before a runeback bro could he play. 308 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: Because then he don't disrupt anything. Because that was my 309 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: first thoughts. 310 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: If you put you know he's got Sherry, I know 311 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: that right, But you've got Sherry and Crichton doing great 312 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: job in the centers. You had Sexton or Hayward with 313 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: Galvin in the halves and Burton back to fullback. Burton 314 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: can as an extra half most fullbacks through a lot 315 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: of these days. He brings him into the game as 316 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: a support player. He's not an organizer anyhow. You don't 317 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: lose his running, his strengths running, you don't lose his 318 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: kicking game at fullback, and you see Latrell and those guys, 319 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: they do a lot. 320 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: Of the King. He'd be similar style of the Troll. 321 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: If you moved into fullback for the Dogs, that was 322 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: my first instead of moving christ and I would just 323 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't move the best center in the game. He So 324 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: I'd lean towards that if that was maybe an option 325 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: for them moving tell you. 326 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 5: What it proves Gus has put together a fair roster 327 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 5: as much as we bag us, so we know he 328 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 5: tells Fibbs right here and now that there's not enough players, 329 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: not enough positions rather to fit all the play I 330 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,479 Speaker 5: don't think anyone questions that Galvin is not a goodbye 331 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 5: for any club, like he's an exceptional young talent. I 332 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 5: think where most people have a problem with what's happened 333 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 5: here is the fact that Lachlan Galvin has been able 334 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 5: to get out of a contract a year and a 335 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 5: half before he was due to and that that's the 336 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 5: beginning and end of the conversation. It just once again 337 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 5: shows what an absolute sham the transfer system is. 338 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: It's also the risk of disruption to a team that 339 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: are coming first and could derail their season. I don't 340 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: think it will, I'll get that clear, but it has 341 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: the potential too, and that's what the fans. 342 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: Are a little bit scared of. 343 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: With the big bosses ducking for cover, it was Catoni 344 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: Stagers and Adam Reynolds fronting up at Redhill as the 345 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: veteran playmaker repairs that play's three hundredth games. 346 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 7: Three hundredth game massive achievement. 347 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: What does it mean to you. 348 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: Did you ever think you get to the triple century? 349 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 7: No, it's not something I thought about probably the last 350 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 7: year or two. I love to turn up the work. 351 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 7: I love trying to fight out of any situation that 352 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 7: we're in, whether it's good or badom as a club. 353 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 7: We're working extremely hard to do that together. And you 354 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 7: know we're stay in united and no, no doubt we'll 355 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 7: change the momentum. 356 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: He's the club, unhappy of the players and happy. 357 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: What's the situation in your eyes? 358 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 7: No, it's easy to write headlines when you're not winning games. 359 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 7: You know, it's all external. It doesn't mean anything for us. 360 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 7: It's been a bit of a change, but you know 361 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 7: the change that we're willing to take. I can assure 362 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 7: you we will turn around. 363 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: You've got some interest in the West, Tiger's and a 364 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: few clubs. 365 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: Is your own preference to finish hit the read. 366 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 7: I'm focusing on this weekend, Pete. I just said that 367 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 7: I'm not worried about contracts at the moment. That'll sort 368 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 7: itself out in the background. I'm focused on getting to 369 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 7: win and you know, turning around what's been a poor 370 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 7: few weeks for us. 371 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: There really good manage. We love Madge where he's done 372 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: a great job. 373 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 5: You know, he's come into his team and changed change 374 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 5: the club and obviously change the way. 375 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: We want to be on and off the field. That 376 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: you've been trying too hard, that's a load of crap. 377 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: I'll say. 378 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: You know you got a train hard. 379 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 5: It's a it's a very tough sport and I think 380 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 5: if you don't. 381 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 7: Train hard, I don't think you're going to go far 382 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 7: in this competition. 383 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: So the little Maestro Adam Reynolds to play throughout a games. 384 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: The skipper's a milestone. What a player has been for 385 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: a long period of time. Look like you got out 386 00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: of an arm chair. 387 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 3: One looks like he's just jumped out of a sawn. 388 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 5: He's sitting there talking about how good things are. Training 389 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 5: to hard keel over in all fantasy. 390 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 3: Ye, but he hadn't. 391 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: But he just walked off. 392 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: Under they're under the pumper. Let's let's give Reno some 393 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: credit here. He's played his three hundredth game and it 394 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: hasn't been at the best of time of wait, but 395 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: what a players. 396 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 5: He's been an amazing player, you know, one of the 397 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 5: best half packs of his generation. He he won a 398 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 5: Grand Final as a young man with the rabbit Os 399 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 5: and they went pretty close two years ago at the Broncos. 400 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: I think it is. 401 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 5: You can't ignore the elephant in the room, and I 402 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 5: don't think it was a good look for the Broncos 403 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 5: or the story to emerge today that a contract had 404 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 5: been tabled for Adam for next year, because right at 405 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 5: the moment, and regardless of you think or if you 406 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 5: want Reynolds to play another season, five weeks ago against 407 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 5: the Bulldogs, he looked like he could play forever. He 408 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 5: turned on that master class, that kicking performance. He looks 409 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 5: so good. But the last few weeks, like the rest 410 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 5: of the team, they've been dragging their bums around the field. 411 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 5: They've been playing without passion inspiration. When Reno sat there 412 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 5: beside Magic at the postmatch press conference the other day, 413 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 5: he looked beat. And we're halfway through the season. He 414 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 5: turns thirty five next month. So next year, if the 415 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 5: Broncos go forward with Adam Reynolds as one half and 416 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 5: potentially well, Ben Hunt will be thirty six turning thirty 417 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 5: seven next year, is it the right move for the 418 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 5: club going forward and especially to take the glory becomes 419 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 5: the conversation this week. 420 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 2: Do you think they did that this week? 421 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 5: Well you wonder, don't you Is it to try and 422 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 5: is it to try and change changed the tact of 423 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 5: what the conversation's been, because it just seems strange to 424 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 5: me when that story dropped today and there was all 425 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 5: the talk last night about Dave Donahue hiding under the 426 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 5: under the covers and not turning up at requests to 427 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 5: appear on this show and another show, and then this 428 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 5: story drops today with Renault's three hundredth game. 429 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 3: You just wonder the negotiations have been going on for 430 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 3: a few weeks. I wouldn't be fair today. 431 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 5: I don't truth is there is no contract offer that 432 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 5: is actually in writing that They've been talking, like you said, 433 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 5: for some time now, and there's sort of like I 434 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 5: think there's a bit of an understanding of what the 435 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 5: contracts worth may be between here and there, but there's 436 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 5: no actual contract on the tape. 437 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: Look, wouldn't you just spake till the end of the year. 438 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 3: But when. 439 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: Reynolds has said that he doesn't want to leave, cares no. 440 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 4: But Adam Reynolds has said so this is me just 441 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 4: reading between the lines. I don't want to leave Brisbane 442 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 4: and I'm happy to retire these or I think coming 443 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 4: out of his mouth, don't you just wait to see 444 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 4: how he finishes the year, to see whether his body 445 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 4: can keep up with you know, because if he's a. 446 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 5: It's a bad move to re sign him Gordy at 447 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 5: thirty five, everything's a bad move because it's far the 448 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 5: time and when it catches, when it catches up with you, 449 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 5: it catches up overnight. 450 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 3: This is an elite player who's played state of origin one. 451 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 5: I'm not saying that is not every club has to 452 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 5: look into the crystal ball at some point and take 453 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 5: a risk. But if the season is the issue, if 454 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 5: it's not Adam Reynolds, who do you put? 455 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: He's older, but he's ready contract. 456 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 5: That's the point of Reynolds might turn out to be 457 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 5: the man you do if he finishes the season strong. 458 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 5: But we are at the halfway point of the season, 459 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 5: it's not the time to be announcing that he's got 460 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 5: a new thirty. 461 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: Five year old halfbacks. It's just not. 462 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 5: And the other the other issue that you can't ignore 463 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 5: that while while Renault's body has been bashed from pillar 464 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 5: to post for as long as it has it's secret 465 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 5: that Madge's coaching style grinds him into the ground, and 466 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 5: is he suited to last another season and a half 467 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 5: under the current well who was seven? Then if you 468 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 5: don't want Reynolds, that's the Broncos problem. I'm just saying 469 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 5: it's and you've. 470 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 3: Got to come up with a solut. 471 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 4: Signed Ben Hunt on a two year deal, so he's 472 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 4: a backup number seven. So they thought that he was 473 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 4: going to come slot in for Isra Man and when 474 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 4: Adam retires, he was going to be the half back 475 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 4: with Ezra Man. 476 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: How have you found Adam Reynolds's form this season? 477 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: It's patchy. 478 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 5: I think it's pretty good over Okay, yes, I agree, 479 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 5: this is this is my opinion, and I'm so happy 480 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 5: to be pred He destroyed the Bulldogs. 481 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 4: You asked me a question and the Grand finally were 482 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 4: supposed to get the deal done. He didn't, right, and 483 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 4: then against the Dragons was alarming for me. Against the 484 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 4: Dragons the last place, and I'm saying it was it 485 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 4: was like afforded. It was like the ball come into 486 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: my hands. We don't think the same. We're fatigued. He's 487 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 4: got players on the outside, didn't come up with a kick, 488 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 4: didn't come up with a pass, run sideways. 489 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 5: And got tackled, in fairness to him than Gordon too, 490 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 5: then he's not on his own. 491 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 4: If if a man don't play that game, it's worse. 492 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 4: And then on the weekend coming up against Cherry Evans 493 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 4: backing up from state of origin, who got the points, Well, 494 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 4: there's your en. 495 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 5: I'll tell you something that's really important here. The money 496 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 5: that he is going to get isn't huge. It will 497 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 5: be a modest contract, so it will not pop the 498 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 5: Bronco salary. 499 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 3: Really good points. 500 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 4: So if you can get would that be enough to 501 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 4: keep selling Cobbo and Catny Stage? 502 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely from what I'm told that I don't have money. 503 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 5: Think that money that he gets Adam Reynolds will blow 504 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: their cap away. 505 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: So if you can get him cheaper or cheap ish. 506 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 4: For me, if I had a young sell on Cobbo 507 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 4: that's playing Buster at the moment and you've got to 508 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 4: keep selling at twenty one or half back at thirty five, 509 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 4: I'm going for sale to give him. 510 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 5: But the other problem for the Broncos too, Dog, I 511 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 5: think you need to take into account here is that 512 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 5: they're one of the biggest If not the biggest club 513 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 5: in the game. They should have young players ready to unleash, 514 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 5: like the roosters do, like the powerful clubs do. Like 515 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 5: what's going on at that club that they're still holding 516 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 5: on to a man that soon to be thirty five 517 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 5: and a guy that will be thirty six as your 518 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 5: halves to take you forward into next season. 519 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: They're going to go. 520 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: There isn't a seven waiting to go out there. Well, 521 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: they had Tommy didn't, right, Yeah, right? 522 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 4: Because when I was talking to Lockeie, like we had 523 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 4: this really good young kid come through and then for 524 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 4: some reason he lost his confidence. But they said, but 525 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 4: then he went to the Cowboys and there he was 526 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 4: playing state of Origin. Right, But now they're supposed to 527 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 4: be some guys sitting around there. It's time when you've 528 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 4: got a thirty five year old half back to put 529 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 4: him in there and teach him. 530 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: Not have too thirty five year olds. 531 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: I think if you get him at the right price, though, 532 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: you know the way he's played at times this year 533 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: year and what he would have in him next year, Madge, 534 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: you think he's safe. 535 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 5: I think right now Madge is the safest coach in 536 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 5: the NRL. And I'll tell you why you hit the 537 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 5: nail on the head last night. I certainly do because 538 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 5: he is the fourth coach in seven seasons at the Broncos, 539 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 5: and the administration who sacked Kevin Walters, who employed Anthony Sebold, 540 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 5: who now brought in Michael Maguire to take over, cannot 541 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 5: be seen to get another one wrong. Or, as Gordon 542 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 5: said last night, it's their heads on the chopping block. 543 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 5: He's the safest coach in the game, won't They won't. 544 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 3: Get rid of him. 545 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 5: Look, Madges failed and what they bought him in they 546 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 5: do essentially, which was to toughen them up. Get rid 547 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 5: of the rock stars, get rid of the fingernail polish, 548 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 5: get rid of the selfies with your shirts off. That 549 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: hasn't worked yet. Is that on Madge or is that 550 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 5: on the players? Because at the moment it takes time 551 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 5: to image. I've got a fan of Madge Breath. I 552 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 5: just I like I like his old school coaching style, 553 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 5: maybe because I'm a bit old school myself. 554 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 3: Is it working? 555 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 5: But at the moment, no, Gordon, But if you want 556 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 5: to rearrange your culture, and I'm not saying Kevy had 557 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 5: a bad culture before you jump down my throat. 558 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,719 Speaker 3: I'm not going you will. I'm just going to because 559 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 3: I know what you're like, Madge. You just answered it 560 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: for me. 561 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 5: Madge takes time to bring in and implement news systems. 562 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 3: So he's only twelve weeks into his tenure. Where so 563 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 3: we have to give him really and where's the proof 564 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 3: of that? 565 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 5: Well, Cruls, anyone who makes chrangers needs time, no. 566 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 3: Back, over the over the course. So he didn't get 567 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 3: better at the Tigers. 568 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 4: And before that, that's ouse he went twelve twelfth and 569 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 4: he went ninth eleventh, So after after he. 570 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 3: Took over a premiership ready roster dog. That's the that's 571 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: the point there. 572 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 2: I say it. 573 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 4: Benji's doing a better job about the Tigers now than 574 00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 4: what he did. 575 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 5: The other thing is and what about Benji is a 576 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 5: good People misunderstand this too. But even the really tough 577 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 5: coaches you can see in the Bellamies and the Bennetts 578 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 5: and them sort of characters Ricky Stewart's there's there's there's fun, 579 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 5: there's excitement. It's at the moment the Broncos appear to 580 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 5: be a team that are employed to go and dig holes. 581 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 5: They look so unhappy. They've got one of the great 582 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 5: jobs in the world. They're living the dream. There's no 583 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 5: enjoyment in the joint like dog in what workplace do 584 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 5: you want to go there and get flogged twenty four 585 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 5: to seven and not have some sort of fun and 586 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 5: they don't look like they're having fun. 587 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: Or off the field? 588 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 5: What workplace do you sack someone or say that we 589 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 5: talk weekstill we're talking. I've just said after what in 590 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 5: what workplace do you say to someone after twelve weeks 591 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 5: that it isn't working at a workplace? So they're guarante 592 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 5: where they've got a top four roster. These players have 593 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 5: been molly coddle. 594 00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 2: What they. 595 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 3: Just needs to change. 596 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 4: I'm just going to go on your line here at 597 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 4: what workplace do you get sacked for liking a post? 598 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 4: Do we know what workplace do you get sacked at 599 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 4: liking a post? 600 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 5: What depends on HRT each company guard And sometimes that's 601 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 5: deemed to be a quite a severe Is that a freak? 602 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 5: But we don't know whether that was the only reason. 603 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 5: It couldn't have been just for manager wasn't playing it. 604 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: And they're light on in the forwards, they're light on 605 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 2: in the front row. Paying ass needs a friend. 606 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: I think, you know, Mage is underestimated the job he's 607 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: had at hand. And I tend to agree with you 608 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: there that these players like they've got to take some responsibility. 609 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: There's got to be some resilience there and some some 610 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: work ethic and some something. They have to have an 611 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: inspiration or pride in their own performances. 612 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: Like you know, you can't blame it all on the coach. 613 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: I think, you know, if. 614 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: You look at the Bulldogs and a few other clubs, 615 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: I've had to go backwards to go forwards, you know, 616 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: and we're seeing that at the Broncos now. But I 617 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: just don't know how long it's going to be able 618 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: to last with the club like the Broncos and with 619 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: the me year and the speculation general. 620 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 4: I mate, I think it's and you've got to it's 621 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 4: it's the leadership.
