We should have won that one. Yeah, that's 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: what teams are doing right now. 50 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: Certainly these teams probably because because they're in the fight. 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: They're in the fight and it's it's time to get 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: the momentum going. 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 6: And the Ruster has missed an opportunity last week mainly 54 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 6: not so much got hammered by the Bulldogs. And Sebes 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 6: is it important for him that they finish strong hoops? 56 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 7: Definitely, even definitely it is critical breath. It's going to 57 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 7: be performance based. You just keep hearing rumblings out of 58 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 7: the Manly current playing group about some of the shortcomings 59 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 7: that they believe Sebes has as. 60 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 5: An NRL coach. 61 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 7: And you know, if you go back for decades at Manly, 62 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 7: the Fulton family and Des Hasler ruled the Seagulls with 63 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 7: an iron fist. They won premierships nine seven, nine to 64 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 7: ninety six, twenty eight, twenty eleven, and there was always 65 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 7: a lot of factionalism, politics, and infighting even when they 66 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 7: were having success. Fast forward to twenty twenty five, nothing 67 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 7: has changed. There's still a lot of politics going on 68 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 7: underneath the surface on the Northern Beaches and there's a 69 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 7: big sean at the moment from some ex players who 70 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 7: have won premierships with that club to try and get 71 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 7: Anthony Seabolt overthrown and to get Matt Ballen put in. 72 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 6: On the back of that with Sea Bowlt. Does he 73 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 6: need to make the aide to keep his job or not? 74 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 7: I think he'll just be a comment in fairness to him, right. 75 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 7: You look at their results this year, the nine wins 76 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 7: and nine losses and they've got a positive differential. I 77 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 7: don't think he necessarily has to make the ape, but 78 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 7: the fact that some of these ex players are leading 79 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 7: that push because they're clearly disgruntled with the way that 80 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 7: the player talking the current players at the moment, absolutely 81 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 7: no question they are. 82 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: I think some of the current players, they're the players 83 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: for the most successful part ear of the club too. 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: They've earnt the right to have their opinion on the 85 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: success of the footy club. I must say to you 86 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: Sebs's defense, he has had a pretty shocking injury toll 87 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 3: in that in that pack, Josh Ellow and Nathan Brown, 88 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: Persecca Croaker like that he's had some issues. 89 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: Look, Jimmy might be getting you might be a little 90 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: bit different. 91 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 4: Male. 92 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: I still think he's vibes and gets the start next 93 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 3: season at least. 94 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 6: Well, aren't they already preparing for life after Seves or 95 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 6: is that just rumors? 96 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 7: Well, no, we spoke about it on this show. It 97 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 7: was only a month ago where I think the CEO, 98 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 7: Toney Mestrov said seems is safe for now and supposedly 99 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 7: add two games to guarantee his future. 100 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 9: Now. 101 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 7: Since then, in fairness, they've won three out of four games, 102 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 7: including beating Melbourne on the road, which is the toughest 103 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 7: road trip in the NRL. So there just continues to 104 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 7: be a lot of noise and a lot of discontent. 105 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 7: And I can see you in the foreseable future. I'm 106 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 7: not sure he's how long term. 107 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 8: Maybe if it comes down to the senior players, he's gone. 108 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 8: If it comes down to the young kids, he probably stays. 109 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 110 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 9: I mean like that's just looking from the outside in. 111 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 8: And he did say that he doesn't want to coach, 112 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 8: which is strange. Yeah, and everybody's going to die press call. 113 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think so. 114 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 6: I think from that, Jakobovich still has no indication of 115 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 6: where he's captain. 116 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 4: Is heading as the DCE drama drags on. 117 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 7: Are you aware that it's a bit of a novelty 118 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 7: in terms of Chairs playing against the side that looks 119 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 7: like he's going to next year? 120 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 10: Well, like it seems that way, but like I haven't 121 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 10: heard that from Chairs or whatever, But that's the way 122 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 10: it seems to be going. I guess people out there, 123 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 10: don't they all they seem to be right. He's chosen 124 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 10: to move on. We can't control that. That's his decision. 125 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 10: He's got a right to do that if he's gone 126 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 10: there before. We want to play well and press it, 127 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 10: you know what I mean. So hopefully that works for 128 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 10: us and puts in a great performance and we go 129 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 10: out and play with. 130 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: The well Jakie, you got to love him. 131 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 6: He's always positive and bubbly and no matter what, he's 132 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 6: got a smile on his face. And yeah, I mean 133 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 6: it's still going on. There's no official announcement a big 134 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 6: game for DC though. 135 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 4: If he is playing his new club. 136 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, and it's hard and that's the worst thing, right, 137 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 8: So when they don't make a decision. It's hard on 138 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,559 Speaker 8: the rest of the group because they keep on getting asked, 139 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 8: We keep on getting all as he should have done 140 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 8: was way back when Round six or whatever come out, 141 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 8: So this is where I'm going and it gets put 142 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 8: to bed. 143 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: I think that's the unfair element of its people like 144 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: Borovich needing to answer the question. Everybody that only daily 145 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: Cherry Evans going to answer and put to bed. And 146 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: you know, the very next mainly player that does a 147 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: pres confence, he'll be asked and then the next player, 148 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: and it's it just causes the questions and the headlines 149 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: that Jake doesn't really want to answer. 150 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: He wants to in footy games. 151 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 6: Does it change I mean everyone's going to have an opinion. 152 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 6: DC playing the team that he's going to next year. 153 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 6: Does it put more pressure on it on DC? Does 154 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 6: it motivating more to Sam Walker? 155 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 4: Think? 156 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 6: You know what, I want to aim up. I don't 157 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 6: want this guy being the chief. I want to be 158 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 6: the chief. Like is there anything to that or is it? 159 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 4: Do you think they're just going out there not thinking 160 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 4: about next year? 161 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 7: No, they're professional athletes breaks so both of them, no question, 162 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 7: they're going to want to make a statement the advantage 163 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 7: Daily's god is he's got three hundred and nearly fifty 164 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 7: games of NRL experience and seeing coming back off a 165 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 7: long term injury. But if you look at the Roosters already, 166 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 7: since Sam Walker's returned, he switched to the left hand 167 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 7: side of the field now he has throughout his entire 168 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 7: career primarily been a right sided player. So that just 169 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 7: shows you that they're already preparing for Daily's arrival as. 170 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 5: Of next year. 171 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 7: But it's a critical game for both clubs, like they 172 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 7: both need to win to remain in the hunt for 173 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 7: the top eight. 174 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 9: Would you keep Sam at seven and put DC at six? 175 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 4: No, I'd put DC at seven. 176 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 6: I think DC is more controlled, more experience, more composed. 177 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 6: You've seen the game on the weekend. Sam's got so 178 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 6: much firepower and can create opportunities left, right and center. 179 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 6: But you know, he's still got that error in him 180 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 6: and he and you know, I think with game management, 181 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 6: he's still got a lot to learn, you know. Whereas DC, 182 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 6: that's why they're getting him, That's what I would think 183 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 6: they're getting him for is to have that control, composure, 184 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 6: kicking game and get them to spots on the field 185 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 6: for Sam to weave his magic. You know that I'd 186 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 6: rather that scenario than the other. And I think he'll 187 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 6: learn a lot from DC because that's a part of 188 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 6: his game. I think Sam needs to work on to 189 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 6: get to where it needs to get to it. 190 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 3: That's interesting you say that Raith the appeal of what 191 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: the Rooster's see in DC, that controlling element, And if 192 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 3: you ask the Manly Seagulls, they don't think so, which 193 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: is why they went and got Jamal Foggery who just 194 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: keeps it simple, points the team around the park. 195 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: Kick Chase right keeps it simple. 196 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: But Daily has an ability to play a bit of 197 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 3: freelance footy, run down a short side, the teammates may 198 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: not know what the next play is. 199 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 2: That's very Sam Walker. 200 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: I'm intrigued to see how that marriage works when they're 201 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: both they both can play freelance footy. 202 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's mailed. 203 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 6: I didn't know if there's players in his team think 204 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 6: and that he's a bit that way. 205 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 3: Well you've seen Daily and hey, Daily got dropped from 206 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 3: the Queensland origin side for not taking control of that 207 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 3: moment in time. 208 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 5: But I think the. 209 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 7: Rooster's day of view that the close games that they've 210 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 7: lost this season, the most recent loss to Melbourne last 211 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 7: Thursday r it's a prime example if they've got a 212 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 7: player of the experience and the composure of daily Jerry 213 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 7: Evans with the kicking. 214 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 4: Runs on the board daily. 215 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 5: I think that. 216 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 6: He's why he's going there, and they've spoken at length 217 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 6: why and what they want from him in that season. 218 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure he'll be able to nail that over 219 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 6: a twelve month period now.

I don't know. 341 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 6: For Tigers fans, what are you guys thinking? I think 342 00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 6: he will. It's it is business. This game is business. 343 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 6: Let's ask the Tigers stand. 344 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 7: Well, they need him to stay, Gordy because they've invested 345 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 7: so much in Jerome and now they've started to build 346 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 7: the rest of the side. They extended Oppy Corus, how 347 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 7: that allowed Talent to Silver, another young gun local Jinior 348 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 7: to go and join the paramotter Reial. So they need 349 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 7: They have pushed their chips so all in on Jerome 350 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 7: that even though he hasn't scored a try, and even 351 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 7: though he hasn't made a line break this year, and 352 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 7: if you going purely on value for money, he hasn't 353 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 7: really aimed up on the field. But everything you hear 354 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 7: away from the field, in terms of professionalism, training standards, 355 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 7: everything else that he's trying to bring into the Concord club, 356 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 7: that's what they need and that's what they haven't find. 357 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: All part of it that adds value and that's part 358 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 4: of the whole deal. Do you think he's been worth 359 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 4: his money over a million dollars a year for the club? 360 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: No, not at this point in time. 361 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: Everything Jimmy said I totally agree with and no, absolutely, 362 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: It's true off the field outstanding work ethic, training character 363 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 3: as far as help these younger players onto the training paddock, outstanding. 364 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 2: But on the field he hasn't delivered to that figure. 365 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 3: And if he was any other player that, if we 366 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: were talking about any other player on the same salary 367 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: in the NRL, we would be dissecting them just as much. 368 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 4: Well, here are the stats if you want to dissect. 369 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: Them, well, if you will, he's yet to score a try. 370 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 3: Okay, so now, of so much influence on a football team, 371 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 3: and a struggling football team, I would have thought Jerome 372 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: would have crossed for a try at this point in time. 373 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 3: Points wise, last, obviously, Trice is down the pecking order, 374 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 3: line breaks twenty ninth in the in the NRL line 375 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 3: breakers six assists and runs obviously down as well. 376 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: Look, granted, there's been a little bit of change at fullback. 377 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: Jerome Buller has been in and out at Becorus House, 378 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: had a couple of issues along the way, and obviously 379 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: the Galvin and Latu Fine who change in the Hearts 380 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 3: as well impacts Jerome's game. But again, this is a 381 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 3: highly paid individual who I can understand why he would 382 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 3: take his options up and stay at the Tigers, because 383 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 3: I would argue that if he went onto the open 384 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: market today, he wouldn't be able to get the current 385 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 3: salary that he's on of around one point two million dollars. 386 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 5: Would now that I disagree with that, Dave. 387 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 7: I think he would with new teams coming in with 388 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 7: personally on that basis New Guinea. He's an elite player, 389 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 7: He's won four Premiershire. 390 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 5: You just believe, I believe, I. 391 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 7: Promise that if he went to the open market, I 392 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 7: would argue that he would be okay, he would command 393 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 7: top dollars in the current climate. And I mean the 394 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 7: other element. We can't tap dance around with Jerome and 395 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 7: this is why the West Tigers desperately needed to work 396 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 7: with him, is that his arrival has forced Locky Galvin out. 397 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 7: There was clearly some friction in terms of their personalities. 398 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 5: They didn't get along. 399 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 7: Lockie hasn't enjoyed whatever he's brought to the club and 400 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 7: that's why he's a big part of the reason why 401 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 7: he sought the messy exit. Then there was also the 402 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 7: beefs with Benji, but Benji's also untested as well, Like 403 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 7: we don't know that Benji's going to be their long term. 404 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 4: Shane Richards and stick by Benji, well, I. 405 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 7: Think he is at this point in time. He has 406 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 7: given Benji absolutely everything that is at. 407 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 4: The point in time get the crystal ball out. 408 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 7: I think Benji's a coach clearly for the rest of 409 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 7: this year, and definitely he is the coach for next season. 410 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 4: They have to. 411 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 7: They've already invested so much, They've made so many decisions 412 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 7: based around Benji delivering as the right coach for that team. 413 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 6: Again, just asking questions, if they get the wooden spoon 414 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 6: and a zero and two or three it's to start 415 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 6: next year, they keep it. 416 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 8: I think there'd be a conversation to ask if you 417 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 8: look at what if you look at what Soeraldo has 418 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 8: done in the short time at the Dogs, if you 419 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 8: look at what Jason Ross is slowly building, I think 420 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 8: that they are a better side than what they were 421 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 8: last year. But if they finish on the same amount 422 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 8: of points, I. 423 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 4: Don't think that. 424 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 6: I actually think Benji will get them and I hope 425 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 6: off the bottom, and then I think he won't start 426 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 6: Zre on three. I'm just throwing scenarios because you know 427 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 6: it hasn't last. 428 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 4: That's four spoons in a row. If they do get 429 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: it and we know how it works, you know you 430 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 4: can put trust in a coach now, but things change 431 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 4: very quickly. 432 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 7: Well, they signed a five year deal. When he initially 433 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 7: signed to do a couple of years apprenticeship under Tim 434 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 7: Sheen's and then take over. That all got thrown out 435 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 7: the window because Tim Sheen's exit was fastened and so 436 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 7: essentially next year will be the fourth year of that deal. 437 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 5: So if it. 438 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 7: Doesn't work by next season, if it's not working by 439 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 7: midway breath, then we all know how this plays out. 440 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 6: During Bullard returns against the Dogs, any update on his situation. 441 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 7: At the moment, the Tigers are confident that it's not 442 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 7: going to be an issue and the Dreams agent won't agitate. 443 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 7: But I've got to say I didn't light the fact 444 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 7: that he's been spotted sitting with the families of Canterbury 445 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 7: Banks down players game but his sides playing the next day? 446 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 5: Was he going to Cannibury you. 447 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 3: Wanted to support He's made plenty of players go to 448 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 3: what's their mates play? 449 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 4: My concern isn't the play. 450 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 3: You don't think any current NRL players go to other 451 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 3: games and what's their mates play? 452 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 5: It's not the first time he's done it. 453 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 7: I'm sorry we didn't watch anybody. My concern isn't that 454 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 7: he's going to support his mate. It's the agent, because 455 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 7: that's the agent who put a bomb under the club 456 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 7: through this year and he's done it repeated last decade. 457 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 8: Because what's happened at the club. If you're sitting here, 458 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 8: you go, is this a good look or bad look? 459 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 3: From the West Tiger's point of view, the kid wants 460 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: to go and support his teammate. It's teammate, it's live 461 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: on Fox's better at the ground? 462 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 4: Is the club? Was the club concerned about that? 463 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 7: When I spoke to Rich about it a couple of 464 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 7: weeks ago. He said, Look, I'm not overly concerned about it. 465 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 7: They believe that they have the power because the way 466 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 7: this current contract with Jurim is structured, they get first save. 467 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 7: They can they can say we will take up the 468 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 7: option for twenty twenty seven at nine hundred thousand. My 469 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 7: concern in response to that is the current agent isn't 470 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 7: the agent who negotiated this deal, so he doesn't make 471 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 7: a dollar out of that. 472 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 4: We can't have anymore. That's why. 473 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 5: The Bulldogs game is an issue. 474 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 4: What value? 475 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 6: What value does it add to the agent by taking 476 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 6: him on unless he's going to move him elsewhere. I 477 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 6: get a new contract somewhere and we know where that ends. 478 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: But this is why Richard has to act right. 479 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 3: He has to. He just has to roll over the clause. 480 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: So he stays, yeah, he just has to get it done. 481 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 3: He's just to everything we've said about lou Wise. Importance 482 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 3: for that team during balls of talent, huge talent needs 483 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 3: to be at the footy class is the agent will. 484 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 7: Be knowing this agent, This agent will try and renegotiations, 485 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 7: letting someone. 486 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 6: Else who's runs through the proceedings. Last night with Jack 487 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 6: whiteon and at the judiciary. 488 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 7: Yea, the Bunnies went in super confident that they absolutely 489 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 7: had a case that it wasn't a shoulder charge. I've 490 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 7: got to say, watching the replay repeatedly and in slow 491 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 7: motion and over and over, I did start to think 492 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 7: that that might have been a little bit of wishful thinking. 493 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 7: It got a little bit different gravy when the NRL 494 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 7: prosecutor put a little bit of heat on Jack White 495 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 7: and about why he was just letting his lawyer answer 496 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 7: all the questions and why he didn't personally want to 497 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 7: be cross interrogated by the NRL. But Judiciary Chairman Jeff Bell, 498 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 7: he took umbrage at that. He really disliked it, and 499 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 7: he actually advised the panel, he said, listen, forget all 500 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 7: of that. That absolutely holds no sway in terms of 501 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 7: what decision you're going to come do. But then we 502 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 7: figured out that last time, one of the last timestry 503 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 7: was when he'd been charged with biting and he was 504 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 7: cross interrogated by the NRL Council at that time and 505 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 7: he asked him how many games did you play of NRL? 506 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 5: There might have been a little bit of background. 507 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 3: That's the normal question made Jimmy get when we write 508 00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 3: a story, it's a pet hates, isn't it? 509 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 6: For of course don't I was going to say something 510 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 6: the spoon possibly looms for the Bunnies. 511 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 4: What's what's gone wrong? 512 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 6: Well, well, you know we know they've had heaps of injuries, 513 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 6: but we didn't quite think they get the spoon right. 514 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 6: And I'm not saying they will, but there are a chance. 515 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 7: The way they fought against Cronella on Saturday night, I 516 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 7: don't think they will get the spoon breath. It's going 517 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 7: to come down to around twenty three they play the Gold 518 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 7: Coast Titans. 519 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 5: Therefore childress in that they still. 520 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 7: Have one buy to come the Bunny, so there's an 521 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 7: additional set of points there. I don't think wayn Bennett's 522 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 7: never had a spoon in his tenure coaching in the 523 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 7: NRL or prior to South Wales Rugby League Premiership. 524 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 5: He won't want it. He'll come and he'll hunt you 525 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 5: down and try. 526 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 9: And click no. 527 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 8: But you know it's going to be a coaching effort. 528 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 8: And we know they've got injuries, but where they were 529 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 8: last year, no South Fain. 530 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 9: Would have believed that they'd be in the situation. 531 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 11: But. 532 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 8: Any injury, you know what that But like when Wayne 533 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 8: comes to the club and comes back and how fit 534 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 8: they were looking at the beginning of the year, you 535 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 8: don't ever envisage that. 536 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 3: Let me say this, we hear so much about those 537 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: players loving the fact that they're being able to be 538 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 3: coached by Wayne Bennett, and certainly some of the younger 539 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 3: players just can't believe that they are having this opportunity 540 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: to be coached by a super coach. I just wonder 541 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 3: you boys have been in the dressing room over your 542 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 3: career on Now that it's on the line and Wayne's 543 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 3: never picked up the wooden spoon, do these players start 544 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 3: to talk to each other about, ain't going to sec 545 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: We've got to do this for the coach, like we 546 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 3: have to protect that. 547 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: Like that's that is an unbelievable statistic. 548 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 8: If you're not trying to avoid this, each every dressing 549 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 8: room is in the same situation. No one wants Like 550 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 8: I remember when Brisbane got their first and I think 551 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 8: fans went through like three or four hundred spoons on 552 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 8: their training field right to go around middle and so 553 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 8: it's like it's said, it's no player would have didn't 554 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 8: get one to do. 555 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 4: I think I did at one point. Likely I've got 556 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 4: a bad memory, but I'm pretty sure I did it. 557 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I did. 558 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 6: Wayne Bennett has spoken to the curermals Peter Biddell. Let's 559 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 6: take a look at what he had to say. If 560 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 6: Gord he can just move back a little bit, it's 561 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 6: not going to work for us if we're having crisis 562 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 6: meetings every freaking day and carrying on about where we 563 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 6: are in the competition. I won the Wooden Spoon coaching 564 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 6: in the Brisbane League, so this doesn't wire me in 565 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 6: the least. 566 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 4: The team is here. 567 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 6: If we get our best team on the field next year, 568 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 6: we can do something. So it still remains very optimistic. 569 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 6: He said he's had the spoon before. There must have 570 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 6: been early day. Our brothers wouldn't have been that. Can 571 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 6: the current roster that he's got everyone on the field, 572 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 6: can they fight for premiership next year? 573 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 4: No? 574 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 3: No, no, I need to make and this is my concern. 575 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: The unless there's a huge domino effect come this November one, 576 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 3: once with Bears start to get active, there's no there's 577 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 3: no big apples to be picked as far as what 578 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 3: the Bunnies need and I think in the forward pack 579 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 3: and enforcerre upfront. 580 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: And the and the and the. 581 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: Player market just won't open up enough next year for 582 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 3: the Bunnies and it might just might have to be 583 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 3: another two seasons away. 584 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 4: What do you think the miss and hoops on the 585 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: same page year, Or. 586 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 7: To be brutally honest, their recruitment's been diabolical and you 587 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 7: can go all the way back to the decision where 588 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 7: they did let Adam Reynolds go to Dave's point, they 589 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 7: haven't had an enforcer probably since Sam Burgess retired and 590 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 7: then Tom and George were moved on from the club 591 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 7: and the Lewis Dodd experiment unfortunately it just it hasn't worked. 592 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 7: So they've now their biggest issue over the summer will 593 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 7: be that they've got to move Todd somehow, pay as 594 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 7: minimal as possible and whatever they've got left over and 595 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 7: change out of the seven hundred that he's on, or 596 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 7: they've got to go to the market and they've got 597 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 7: to try and get some front rowers. 598 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 4: Gordy, what do you think they're missing? 599 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 9: Well, they're players, are one, but they're very light on 600 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 9: in the middle of the ruck. 601 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, and then you guys just mentioned it like Fordsman 602 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 8: matches like you look at the Raiders where they with 603 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 8: Tarpani and Josh Papal, I think are won two punches 604 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 8: critical and this day and age. 605 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 6: Jen know is your key playing matchups for around twenty 606 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 6: two things to Ossie broadbander Combank Stadium. 607 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 7: Sunday Jerome Lewie on the left edge for the West 608 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 7: Tigers up against the newly minted Bulldogs halfback Lachland Galvin. 609 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 3: Saturday Night Boys Live and exclusive on Fox Roosters mainly 610 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 3: Sammy Walker against his future teammate Daily Cherry Evans. 611 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: Yeah for that suit Saturday. 612 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 6: Just before we go, sad news today with the passing 613 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 6: of Johnny May.
