Speaker 1: know people say all the time you keep mentioning that

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: scene from pulp Fishing, but I didn't know. I don't

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: know how I missed this, but just recently, Peter Green died.

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: Who's Peter Green? Z?

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: You know that wonderful scene with Zed and Maynard in

00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: the second hand store at the back making love. Yeah,

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: he died accidentally, Cent got shot, So he's passed away.

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: How do you accidentally get shot? I'm not sure, you know,

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: just playing with a gun as he shot himself in

24
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the guts and the other one was At the moment, people,

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're with me or not, but honestly,

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm hooked on Maps. This series has just been is

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: a diamond.

28
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: It's off its head at the moment, isn't it.

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: It's just awesome. Such a good contrast, I must say.

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: In my history of watching mean people or mean girls

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: as they like to call it, Jeer and brook Brook

32
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: began as quite a normal, affable person. Fuck man, she's

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: just send it into crazyville.

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: There's lots of drama, isn't it.

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Maps and you and keeps Jankie got to be careful.

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: I know, you've got to be careful these days. Peops

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: don't generalize all the rest of it. But in this

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: series and a lot of the series, you have a

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: look at the dynamics between men and women. You see

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: how all the blokes, pretty much all of them are

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: good mates, just hanging out together, and they're all happy

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: for each other. They won't make the girls are just

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: tearing each other apart.

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: It's funny, right because I got in an argument about

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: with a girl about the same thing the other day.

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: I said, geez, all the women on it are pretty crazy,

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: and she said, the women on it all the all

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: the blokes on there are pretty crazy. So it's funny

49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: how like a lot of females in society, they'll look

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: at it and see, look at her, how all the

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: blokes are off their head, but the guys look at

52
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: the girls.

53
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: There are a couple of nicisses to mucht the men

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: defy anyway.

55
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: They've done that that Chris and the Brook, they've put

56
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: quite a that was just a that was as I

57
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 3: said the other day, Chernobyl Copper, that was just waiting

58
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: to happen.

59
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Jack, I've got a conspiracy the then just hang with

60
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: football my conspiracy theories. Do you remember that guy? He

61
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: was the real They didn't like him. He was the

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: ass always given it to me.

63
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: He was just saying like he was very cynical about it.

64
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: Wasn't he was just waiting for it to fail.

65
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Given him the bird shit. This is stupid anyway they

66
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: were Runner, but he will bring you on. I reckon.

67
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: They've deliberately put in with Brook. You think for the

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: reason that you think people like coming.

69
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: You think people like it. I mean some people would

70
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: see their partner in some of the people on there

71
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: and go, oh, like, you know, my partner does that.

72
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: But you think people like it because it makes them think, geez,

73
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: my relationship ain't so bad.

74
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a bit of that. But I just

75
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: think people love drama. They love it. Last night, Jack

76
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: and I are watching when they said, okay, there's like

77
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: the dinner date again amongst everyone. Oh.

78
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: Mate, See, it's the first time since the first season

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: that I've hi fired that I've been looking forward to

80
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: watching Australian television, and it's been a very long time

81
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: since that, including the Maddie John Show.

82
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Yes, it's at its best, but anyway, there we go.

83
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Let's hang in there. We'll see you with that. Series

84
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: goes origin elegibility. Am I going? Have I fired?

85
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: How many coughs?

86
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: Excuse me your water?

87
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, excuse me?

88
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: This is bad.

89
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: I totally understand. I totally understand. I'd be getting a

90
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: frog stuck in my throat after watching Maths all week.

91
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: It's it's terrorizing.

92
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: I had a nut upstairs. You keep it shattered in

93
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: the battle.

94
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to back at do you.

95
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Like a coop what we've done with origin?

96
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: I like it.

97
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I like it.

98
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: This is I said this last year with the eligibility

99
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: it should be able to your international side. Should not

100
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: be able to affect who you if you were born

101
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: here or before thirteen. Like the rule is, if you

102
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: are hey, good to your going, you should be able

103
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: to play state of origin and still in the international level,

104
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: be able to represent your other heritage.

105
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: Two of the most important things in rugby league are

106
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: state of origin and international football. Leaf safeguarded both because

107
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: what would happen? See Tonga and somehow they must move

108
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: into Tier one status. Yeah, they could win a World

109
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: Cup tomorrow, they've got to go to Tier one and

110
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: so what was going to happen. Something was going to suffer.

111
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: It'll either be when they move into Tier one, either

112
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Young and Tongan, Pete and Jey kids would have said, no,

113
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: we're not going to go to our nation of origin

114
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: or heritage. We're going to play it. We're going to

115
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: put ourselves down straight, so we're gonna play origin or

116
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: vice versa. What would happen is in ten years time,

117
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: the very best footballers in the country are in the

118
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: countries that can't play state of Origin and State of

119
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Origin was eventually going to suffer because of this. So

120
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: world under the league, they're safeguarded both.

121
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: I'm just keen to see more. So, Like obviously people

122
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: have been talking about blokes like Adam Fanolan Blake and

123
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: stuff who have played New Zealand and other Tier one

124
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: nations who can now come back and play state of Origin.

125
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: I'm keen to see more so like the young players

126
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: who could potentially go and play for their opposite countries,

127
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: like Jack Howarth, he's actually half key we so he

128
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: can go and play for New Zealand rather than wait

129
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: for Australia, which I think would be sick for the

130
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: New Zealand game to be able to bolster that same

131
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: as Kaylen Ponger.

132
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: So I'm happy for Kaitlin to effect now. Yeah, I

133
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: mean I would love to see at the moment in

134
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: our going we've got so many fullbacks for him to

135
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: go there, go to go to New Zealand. Bill's profile,

136
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: Ryce Wats versus kaylm Pie on the national stage. Yeah,

137
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I like it. And geez, I mean Adam vanol Blake,

138
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: he comes he and paining house up front potentially for

139
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: New South Wales.

140
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That is absolutely crazy.

141
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: This is really interesting. And Jerome Hughes has come out

142
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: and said, no, no, no, I'm not interested. Boy. It

143
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: would have been interesting to see what the Queensland half's

144
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: combination was going to do, whether it was going to

145
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: be Jerome Hughes and camera Monster or didn't Monster or

146
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: didn't Hughes what they were going to do.

147
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: I reckon, I reckon they would have kept it did

148
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: in a Munster. I think that combination worked well. And

149
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: like Jerome said, Jerome come out and said, if I

150
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: was to play, it'd be a cash grab and I

151
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: wouldn't do that because putting on the Queensland Jersey, I

152
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: don't get emotional for that jersey like Munster does. Like

153
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: didn't I only get emotional for my Moldy Jersey, New

154
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: Zealand Jersey and a Melbourne storm Jersey nicely played. You know,

155
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's silly.

156
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: He's locked himself out of some cash now or.

157
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: Maybe what he's done is And Jerome loves money, as

158
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: we all know. Romy could have just said that to

159
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: maybe get the Origin people to start throwing more money

160
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: at it. Act like I'm not interested it's like the

161
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: blonde at the bar. No, I'm not looking at it.

162
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm interested, but you know later that night you'll be

163
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: taking her home.

164
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So he wants to be pursued like

165
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: the best logan woman in the pub. Yeah, what you're saying, Well,

166
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: i'd go if something happened and they said, no, Jerome,

167
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: we really wanted you picked Anyton like you're just talking

168
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: about there, I go Munster, Jerome, and I go, did

169
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: in four you would?

170
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

171
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean I understand, Oh no, no, I agree.

172
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: But I think in terms of how that would look,

173
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: that seventeen would look, I think that's probably the best

174
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: seventeen they could pick. I know they do love having

175
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: Benny Hunt and that Harry Grant won two Punch as well,

176
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: which I think, but I think post Benny Hunt, which

177
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: Benny Hart might stop playing Origin this year, but we

178
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: don't know that that would be a deadly spine and

179
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: a Ford End combination because he didn't can play anywhere. Can

180
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: I ask the interchange rule with six does that go

181
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: into Origin as well? I believe, sir, So they can

182
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: so stat of origent teams and now pick an extra

183
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: two who will sit on the bench. I don't know

184
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: how I feel about that.

185
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: Clubs are going to be filthy this year.

186
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Well, Jack, I think I think eighteenth and nineteenth Man

187
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: must actually be able to play football. Yeah, we can't

188
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: keep doing the mad Burton stuff and not let him

189
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: play in eighteenth Man perpetually.

190
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, with an extended band hopefully that sort of nullifies

191
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: that they can play. And a lot of players like

192
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: three days, three days after a game, like they can

193
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: back up. I reckon, they're going to be fine.

194
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I did too. You bring some other players, will effect.

195
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: Bring that Mike, just not like you're doing it like

196
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: how a gangster holds his gun, just kind of sideways,

197
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: just put it right under that.

198
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: I did one of those lift golf jack Monster and that,

199
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: and I did the gangster head tilted back with my

200
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: hands like I had like the gun there. Anyway, they

201
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: thought I was being serious. I think Monster was going

202
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: to post it.

203
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: I said, please, please, you you just I think you

204
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: just did it naturally. You literally just held your fingers

205
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: out like a gun. And then Monster goes to, you've

206
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: got to send me that. I just like put the

207
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: phone up. I went pose, boys and Dad just literally

208
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: just did it like subconsciously and months ago, send me that,

209
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: Send me that, and Dad goes, you can't post it

210
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: because people will think I'm in a bloody gang. I said, Dad,

211
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: I'm pretty confident.

212
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not going to mistake you for being.

213
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: In a game that was the street beat a symbol,

214
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: my rap dancing.

215
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: Shout out to our Brittain a kor as well. He

216
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: can also come back and play with stat.

217
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: He's Queensland.

218
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: He needs a Queensland.

219
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: They need a right back roller too, don't they.

220
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, originally I thought he was just so Wales,

221
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: but we're blessed with back rolls and ko weeks.

222
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: But here's the other. Here's the other one that's exciting.

223
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: So the UK. So if you look at the UK,

224
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Ethan Strange can play for England. That'd be Greu Semmi

225
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: Walking could play for England, Max King England and Sam Hooley,

226
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, the young young seam he was brought in

227
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: Castleford because his dad me which was playing there at

228
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: the time. Those four guys can play for England.

229
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: It'd be good because you saw in the Ashes last

230
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: year like they're probably missing a few of those key

231
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: players that we can actually sort of bolster that English

232
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: side up because the old ashes back in the day

233
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: where it was like England were just as good as Australia.

234
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: We needed that back, right Yep.

235
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: I think we all agree with that. We're all happy

236
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: with that. Jack, You're I think it's a great move

237
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: for the game.

238
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 3: Yeah. I can be argumentative if I want, If you

239
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: want me to, I agree.

240
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: No, No, no, I think it actually on. My prediction

241
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: is somehow. I mean, you never think Orange could get better.

242
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: I think it'll just bump it up another level. Now,

243
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: talking to one more thing, the real changes we spoke

244
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: about the extended bench to six. The one I want

245
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: to talk about most is the twenty forty rule meeting

246
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: that anything anything outside the twenty meters will just be

247
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: six again, boy Uto or what this adds just another

248
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: layer of fatigue and the game will just continue to

249
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: flow and accelerate. This is going to be I'm really

250
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: interested to see how this manifests itself on the big guys.

251
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, will big guys, you know what? How is

252
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: this going to affect the one hundred and ten plus

253
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: kulo forward? How's how's he going to go with it?

254
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: Well? The six again? You saw the effect that it

255
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: had on those players. Anyway, I think now implementing even

256
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: more six agains into the game, like we know it's

257
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: it's literally going to implement like blokes like Harry Reece Walsh,

258
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: those Nip Tray Fuller like those guys are going to

259
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: be even more instrumental in the game.

260
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: And it's a big adventige too for experience halves. You know,

261
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: people like Nathan who are so good at steering the

262
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: side around the park. It'll suit them. It's a big

263
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: advantage for those halfbacks because, as you Bakes know, the

264
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: hardest bit when you're on half as far as steering

265
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: the side around the around the park and getting a

266
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: set of six going is kick reception. When they kick

267
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: them all over the head. You got understand, you've got

268
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: to turn around, you've got to run back. You've got

269
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: forwards who are tired, You've got to get them behind

270
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: the balls. You're organized a set of six. Unless something

271
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: happens at the start of the set, it's pretty much

272
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: just armrest lamars, alarm wrestle, kick, longen chase. There's going

273
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: to be a lot of that, and Sophie has people

274
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: who aren't necessarily used to playing seven Lockee Galvin as

275
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: an example. We'll see if that goes, there's going to

276
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: be a test for them. You're going to get very

277
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: few Okay, penalty, right, our boys, let's settle down a

278
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Let's kick it down right, Let's put our

279
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: set sequence on. There's gonna be's gonna be less and

280
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: less of that.

281
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: There's going to be a lot more emphasis too on

282
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: like the middle third board players to at least Locky

283
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 3: Galvin at the Dogs has like a Kurt Man or

284
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: those sort of guys that can sort of get the

285
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: middle around the.

286
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: Park for your kick setup.

287
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: But you have the size that lack that's going to

288
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: make it a lot more difficult.

289
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 2: The bench, the six the six man bench. I liked

290
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: it initially, I thought I like, not that I liked it,

291
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: but I didn't have an opinion on it. As it's

292
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: come along more, I'm starting to dislike it more and more.

293
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: Why there's I was having this debate with Harry the

294
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: other day Grant, and he's quite like, not anti it,

295
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: but he's worried about. His point was what it can

296
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: do to the development of a couple of players who

297
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 2: potentially are on that six man bench. Every week and

298
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: whatever schedule reason they're not able to play reserve grade

299
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: or any other grades gets that, so there's no footy

300
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: involved with them. But a point that I started to

301
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: think about was where's the advantage for clubs that like

302
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: buy a good player who is so versatile in other areas.

303
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: Like I look back at like Ryan Pappenhausen when they

304
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: first put him on the bench at Melbourne, Yep, that

305
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: six man bench. They probably never would have put him

306
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: on there for that versus and played him through the middle.

307
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: They never would have tested that sort of thing.

308
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: That's interesting.

309
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 2: So I think the benefit of buying a player who

310
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: has utility value that's kind of out the window now,

311
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: Like no coach is ever going to be sitting there

312
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: and thinking, oh jeez, would I play him or him?

313
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: Will Tyrone Wishark can play anywhere in the backs, potentially

314
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 2: through the middle and hooker for me, I'll get him ago.

315
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: It's going to reduce the impact of the fourteen, but

316
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: basically it'll almost be three fourteen sitting on the bench.

317
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: You can play a little bit of this player, but

318
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of that who knows mate, Like the NFLD,

319
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: you might take a specialist goalkicker on there, specialist field goalkicker.

320
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Just keep him on the bench there in case we're

321
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: coming down to the last ten minutes, it's like we're

322
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: going to need a field goal to win the game,

323
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: and bring him on. It's going to be interesting to

324
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: see how they use it. But Coop, I agree with

325
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: you there the four man bench, I hadn't thought about that.

326
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: It was a skill in itself of the coach to

327
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: select the right blokes.

328
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: Bactic Now at the moment, it's even like that that

329
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: great Queensland side in twenty twenty that the left center

330
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: went down and they put Kirk kate Well at center. Yeah,

331
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: and he can't. Like everyone remembers that game because it

332
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: was like the day that Kurt kate Well carved up.

333
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: I think Gutho was in center and he like played

334
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: the game of his life, helped set up a try

335
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: for a J. Brimson. All this stuff that doesn't happen

336
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: with the six man bench, Like there's too much kind

337
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: of nothing goes wrong, like the ability in a game

338
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: where shit guts starts going wrong and then just puts

339
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: his hands up and does a job wherever they put him.

340
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: I like that aspect or rugby league.

341
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: So well, there is one thing certain. Every single rule change,

342
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: we don't really foresee the effect that's going to have

343
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: on the game till probably a few months down the track,

344
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: and you don't really foresee what coach is going to

345
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: do with it. Coaches will be looking at the twenty

346
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: forty rule and it'll be having them at the six

347
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: man bench going is there a loophole here? How do

348
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: we how do we adjust our football? And particularly as

349
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: I said before, the twenty forty rule, I'm really curious

350
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: if it forces the big man to lose weight and

351
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: come back down a little bit, I think I think

352
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: it will come.

353
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: I just bring something up. We just spoke about the

354
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: state of origin before, just before we get to our

355
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: season preview. I was watching a little bit of the

356
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: AFL Origin last week, didn't and they well you didn't

357
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: miss much because it was it was like Western Australia

358
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: as Victoria.

359
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh those rivals.

360
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: They do not hate each other a leak but I

361
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: love because obviously I watched a lot of AFL when

362
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: I was in Melbourne, so around a lot of those boys,

363
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: and I was asking some of the boys, does anyone

364
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: really care about it? And the boys, going no, not

365
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: at all. But in the coverage they are all all

366
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: the commentators are going, look at look at the grit,

367
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: look at how much it needs to Victoria to get

368
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: one up over these Western Australians. And then they were

369
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: interviewing Bailey Smith after the game in the shares and

370
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Bailey Smith notoriously like doesn't care about anything, and he's

371
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: sitting there and they're going it looked like, you know

372
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people were sledging this sort of the

373
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: origin of the AFL, saying because people that don't really care,

374
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: but you know, you care out there, and Bailey is going, yeah, yeah, yeah,

375
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: I care out there, like you know, meantal It meant

376
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: a fair bit to me. You could see he was

377
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: just like they've briefed him on like you know, we

378
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: want these would have need it come down.

379
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: Hey boys, Okay, let's share some enthusiasm. Let's have a

380
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: little bit of niggle on the field, right, Let's let's

381
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: lift this a little bit. But they reference in the

382
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: Rugby League stat of origin bits and pieces.

383
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: Throughout like obviously naturally, because state of origin is like

384
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: obviously an NRL thing. I think they're better off doing

385
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: it because Victoria is so much better. Like Victoria obviously

386
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: all the talent, majority of the talent comes from there.

387
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: They had an unbelievable side against Western Australia.

388
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: That's the problem.

389
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: The problem for them is yeah, like nis Soars and

390
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: Queensland are quite equal in that sense, they're better off

391
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: making it like the NBA split Australia down the middle

392
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: and just go East Coast and West Coast that you know.

393
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: Coop and include northern territory in Darwin into the West

394
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Coast because that leads itself more to a fairy tale,

395
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: you know. And if there is a rivalry, like talking

396
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: to people in Western Australia, like people in Western Australia

397
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: look at look east and goes make those pricks over

398
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: in the East Coast. I think they're better than us.

399
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: You're right, it's whether the depth would be there for

400
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Western Australia. But the great thing about State of Origin

401
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: and Rugby League is that there is a natural rivalry

402
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: between Queensland and New South Wales that just runs through

403
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: every aspect including life.

404
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: Well that's what I mean, at least the East Coast

405
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: of Brisbane, Queensland, Newsiuales and Victoria, which Obviously Queensland and

406
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: New Souls have mostly an RL talent, but then that

407
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: West Coast can have your South South Australia where Heaps

408
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: and AFL players come from Northern Territory and WA. So

409
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: I think it'd be a lot fairer. I want to

410
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: ask you, Matthew, Yes, Coops. First, this is your first

411
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: year coming in as a part owner in the Titans. Yes, expectations.

412
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: How do you feel the year is going to go from?

413
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 2: Are you nervous?

414
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm not nervous because Coops, I been to a number

415
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: of training sessions just as an observer and watching watching

416
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: the players, in the mood in the club. Everyone's up

417
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: on their tays this time of the year, and everyone

418
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: sort of sensed it off to misam. But I must

419
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: say I do know what a happy camp looks like.

420
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: I do recognize camaraderie, amoks of players. I can recognize

421
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: an excited playing group, and I can recognize a team

422
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: that I think is going to have a good season.

423
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: And I think they did and they showed that in

424
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: the trial game against the Dolphins. They were very strong.

425
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: I was a little concerned going and Josh should picked

426
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: the younger side and the Dolphins were close to full strength,

427
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: and I thought myself, come on, I hope these young

428
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: guys can just hold their hands up. Well, they won

429
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: the football game, so it was a great result. And

430
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: look again, I understand it's only a trial game, but

431
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: crucially in that trial, the team won using the tactics

432
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: that Josh had put in place and practiced all pre season.

433
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: Josh had done very little attacking football, like good ball,

434
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: inside the inside the opposition twenty all the offseason. He

435
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: knew the big area that the Titans had to work

436
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: on was their arm, wrestle, their grit, their defense, and

437
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: that's where they pull their energy and they look really good.

438
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: So credit to Josh and also big credit to Brian McDermott.

439
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: You could just see the difference in Brian McDermott one

440
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: competitions that leads as a player and a coach. Jack

441
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: played under him as defensive coach b mack and all

442
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: the stories come out of there. He worked them really

443
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: hard in defense and it showed it's the side. One

444
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 1: thing I do take out of trials is enthusiasm, desperation,

445
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: and defense, and three of those things were there for

446
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: the Titans. So there's some good signs.

447
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: No, there are good signs, and you don't We're not

448
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: going to reference trials too much on this podcast, but manic,

449
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: we haven't watched them all, but you could see. One

450
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: thing you can see in those trials is attitude. Like

451
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: you just said, like the shape and stuff. Sometimes their

452
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: shapes really good or all this attacking flare, and then

453
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: they get up. They get out there round one and

454
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: a team can't even put it together.

455
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 1: They have seen that team just flying through the trials

456
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: and then just fall out. And I think part of

457
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: that coup is it's a little bit like the last

458
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: training session of the week, the last training session of

459
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: the week. Sometimes you blokes have been there. You do

460
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: the last training session. Mate is going sideline, the sidelines,

461
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: throw on the ball around training. This is great, We're

462
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: heading for a big game. Then you get out there

463
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: and don't fire a shot. Same with warm up, Well,

464
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: same with a season. You're gonna have two trials, blitz

465
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: them and you get out week one and you get

466
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: beaten up because you think you're ready.

467
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: I think you're not. The round zero in Vegas, Cobba.

468
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 3: It's got me a little bit thinking the Knights. Although

469
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: the trials they've been getting a little bit hammered. I

470
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 3: feel like the Knights might upset. They're playing the.

471
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys correct or yes, Cowboys.

472
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cowboys their last game against that penduicide where they

473
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: put sixty six on them. Yeah, I feel like the

474
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: Knights there's a chance of an upset there.

475
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: Interesting Coup, Jack, Interesting because I think it was forty

476
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: mil at half time in memory watching it, but then

477
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: it ended up burning a very Cowboys game. I think

478
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: sixty to twenty four. Yeah, that's a very it's a

479
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: very Cowboys performance. I think if I'm Todd Payton, I'm

480
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: really disappointed in that second half. I'm going away saying

481
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: to them, hey boys, you years have done nothing to

482
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: dispel the beliefs around this football side. That will let

483
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: other teams, you know, basically, we'll let the give the

484
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: opposition an opportunity to score points that we're all about

485
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: an attacking shootout. So Jack, it's a fair point around.

486
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: What's the mail on Kaylon?

487
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say he'll be there, he'll thereund one. Yeah,

488
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: they're saying the male too, is that Fletcher Sharp might

489
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: be winning the seven jersey the time being, but.

490
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: Fletcher and I he interviewed him and said could you

491
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: play seven? He said, I want to. Well, he's a good.

492
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: Player, Like, of course he'd be there. If it wasn't

493
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: for KP, he'd be the fullbacks starting, he'd walk in.

494
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 3: But the two weeks you can't underestimate two weeks off.

495
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: I always find that in regular league, a team that

496
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: comes off a two week break with a sort of

497
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: a negative attitude generally go good that first game, first

498
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: game back. Yeah, And the team that goes in on

499
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: a high generally comes back with a lesser than you know,

500
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: expected performance.

501
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: And that's what we're just talking about. Do you think

502
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: it's the two weeks where sides sit there and go, geez,

503
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of work to do. Yeah, and

504
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: they you know, they dot the eyes cross the two

505
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: is well, the side that thinks they're ready to go

506
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: get but basically they skim through their two weeks. Okay,

507
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: we're ready to go.

508
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: Beauty of two weeks off too, Like if you've killed

509
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: it two weeks off, you literally put your feet up

510
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 2: for the thing you're not. All you're thinking about two

511
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: weeks is all the good stuff you've just done. Of course,

512
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: so there's two weeks off off the back of like

513
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: a really bad game. For two weeks, you're literally like

514
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: scolding yourself, You're reviewing it, You're thinking, how can I

515
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: fix that? Like you're actually trying to better yourself for

516
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: two weeks and you stew on that like the worst thing.

517
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: The best thing that Rabbit League is you get an

518
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: opportunity of the next week to fix it. But when

519
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: you have a week off, there's nothing worse like your

520
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: head noise are so bad, your head's fallen.

521
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure those Nights Boys all they're thinking about is

522
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: they just can't wait to redeem them redeem themselves that

523
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: first game back from that last the redeem team.

524
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: And we're going to do We're going to do a

525
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: preview seventy four from Allegiant Stadium preview on those two games,

526
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: and the big English game is going to be there

527
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: in the morning. I'm looking forward to that, mate. The

528
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: English fans just big English continuent going this year. But

529
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: I think they're so I listened to Peter a Pit

530
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: of Landies on the hollow Sport Boys the other day.

531
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: I think it's like something like five jumbos are going

532
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: over for the NRL. Like you know, they said they're.

533
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: Expecting twenty thousand from Australia in ten thousand from the UK.

534
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: That's what he said. Yeah, yeah, wow, you almost got it.

535
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,239
Speaker 3: They're also saying that it's one of the biggest it's

536
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: one of the biggest moneymakers for the city of Las Vegas.

537
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 3: They're saying that every year it's increased. So last year

538
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: the first year went like number fifty and last year

539
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: went to number eight. Now, obviously it's more than one

540
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: day event, but I think at the same time, with

541
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: the Pommies and the Australian dollar, the pound and the

542
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 3: Australian dollar, I think they actually make plenty, like they're

543
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: double their cash essentially.

544
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: Well, I think Coop Jack in the last couple of years,

545
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I think Australia was on visits to Vegas. I think

546
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Australia was about number fifteen in the world. We're number

547
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: two now, good number two. Look at what we're doing, Okay, right,

548
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: what we're going to do here. A lot of people

549
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: know it's very hard to go through all of the sides.

550
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: We're going to touch on them, but it's hard to

551
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: go through all the sides. You don't want to skim

552
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: in a preview. You want to dig a little deeper

553
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: and mate, let's do mate bold questions, straight answers. Broncos

554
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: are they going to go back to back?

555
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: And my theory behind it is they have won a

556
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: Grand Final, a lot of those boys have gone and

557
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 2: played in the Pacific Tests and the Ashes, so they

558
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: haven't come back to preseason post January. I just think

559
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 2: they're going to be a little bit underdone and I

560
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: think given the whole news around Reno retiring painhas, I

561
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: just think they're not going to be up to the

562
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: same standard. And as you know, Matthew, when you win

563
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: a camp the next year, every week you've got a

564
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: target on your head.

565
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and it's really true he particularly for a city

566
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: for the Broncos, in a city like Brisbane, that even

567
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: if you coming third, last, second, last, ye're still a superstar.

568
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: And I can only imagine the profile of the players

569
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: now and you've got guys like Rees, I mean, the

570
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: profile and the superstardom that he's enjoying, it's unparalleled, I

571
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: think in parallel in the game. And then you've got

572
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: the paint situation going back to back and Penrith. This

573
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: is why it's so remarkable to Penrith to four peet

574
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: is most times, anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

575
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: I was I was talking to Madge about a month ago.

576
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: There was there was a bit of a dinner on

577
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: to congratulate Madage on their Grand Final win. It was

578
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: dozen of it's there and I was having a chat

579
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: to manage and I said, how do you feeling about

580
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: this season? And he goes, yeah, I feel he's going

581
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: to feel really good. The boys prepared well. I said,

582
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: back to back mate, I said, what can go wrong

583
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: will go wrong? He said yeah, he said, I learned

584
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: that it's house what it's what makes it so tough.

585
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: And as we said that before, you know. And a

586
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: week or so after that the news that Pain has

587
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: signed with South Sydney, so there's a hurdle straight away.

588
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: It won't affect pay in any way shape before. It

589
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: won't affect him, it's just the effect it has on

590
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: the team. I think the biggest factor, Coop is that

591
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: Adam Reynolds and Bennie Hunt a year older.

592
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

593
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: I think that's a bigger factor than the Pain situation.

594
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, And I think those like Bennie had,

595
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: Benny Hunt and Rena had so much to play for

596
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: last year personally like they're ending the end. They're getting

597
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: to the end of their career. Bennie Hunt had a

598
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: storyline that would have motivated, motivated the hell out of

599
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: him all year. They're both great competitors, but I don't

600
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: see they don't have They're gonna have to find or

601
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: draw on something very motivating to get themselves up emotionally

602
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: like they did last year.

603
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some coaches who you know they must

604
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: they have to have good suasan one is Toddy Payton

605
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, given the talent on that side and

606
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: they've been underachrieving and I suppose the other one is

607
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: Suebes too. They're going to have a big year mainly

608
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: as well. Which one Which which one do you think is.

609
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 2: Which one's more pressure?

610
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

611
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: I think I think probably Toddy Payton. May I think

612
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: Toddy Pate. I think they've like all the boys say

613
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: the same thing. They've had a side on paper which

614
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: is really really good and it's not Toddy. It's not

615
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: up to exactly Toddy Payton, but he'll be the scapegoat

616
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 2: for it, of course he'll be the scapegoat for it.

617
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: So I think that like they've got enough talent there

618
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: to really shock some teams typically this year, like Scotty

619
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: Drink Water. When Drink he's on Drink, he's nearly the

620
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: like and it's going to sound like a big call,

621
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: but Drink he's nearly the best fullback attacking fullback in

622
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: the game.

623
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: When he's on than Tom did.

624
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you've got a like they've got a great

625
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: and they've just lost Reefs Robson. It's a big loss

626
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 2: for him.

627
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: But reed Marney apparently is up there looking really good. Yeah,

628
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: so it probably gives him a little bit more an attack.

629
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 2: Yes, Reese is gritty, he's a great. He's an old

630
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: school nine Reece Robson like he's single market. He's running

631
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: like he's tough. He's built like a lock. He's kind

632
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: of more of a that sort of forward, whereas reed

633
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: Marney's more of a spine like he's thinking he's connecting

634
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: with the rest of his spine.

635
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: The only thing was seeps. Also, this manly can be reactionary,

636
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: shown that in the past. I think serves this year

637
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: most definitely has to make he has to make play

638
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: finals football. I think Todd Peyton has to go. I

639
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: think the second week of the finals.

640
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: Do you think with like the leaving of DC though

641
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: they like do they do you think they'll see that

642
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: as like, oh, like they're not expecting to play finals.

643
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: I watching watching the trial games mainly has got a

644
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: lot more depth than they thought they had. Joey Walsh

645
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: coming along. We're going to talk about Joey and Joey

646
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: Walsh in the second and Jamal. They've got Jamal there

647
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: and still Brooks there. I mean, it's still a very

648
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: good roster Turba. So this is a side that I

649
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: think fans in their club will expect that they should

650
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: be playing finals. Football interesting one at Wars. It's one

651
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: of the Wars. Do you think Wars? And I'm with you.

652
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: I think Todd Payton by the way, there you go.

653
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: I think, what do you think about the Wars? Reckon

654
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Wise will be top four?

655
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: I got the top eight. I haven't got I don't

656
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: think I've got him top four.

657
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: I've got him second week of the finals as well,

658
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: but I haven't got on top four.

659
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: I haven't got in the top four. I think last

660
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: year they people probably underestimated them, given how many people

661
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 2: they lost for Noil Blake, Tohu Harris Shawn Johnson had retired,

662
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: so a lot of people sort of come in and

663
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: I think they thought, oh, this is going to be

664
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: an easy ride because they didn't have this many stars

665
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: and both like Luky Metcalf and that they stood up

666
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: and they really give it to teams and they come

667
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: up with a really good style which they're not going

668
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: to lose. But I think teams aren't going to underestimate

669
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: them this year because they're going to go They're going

670
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: to be able to draw on that last year and go, hey,

671
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: we went over to New Zealand last year and we

672
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: took it easy on these waset team because we thought

673
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: they're not the wise of like they were the year

674
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: before with for Noil Blake up front. So I don't

675
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: I think on that sense, they're not going to upset

676
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: as many teams. But I think they're still a top

677
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: eight side.

678
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: I really like the one two Punch had of Dummy

679
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: half way and I still, in my opinion, remains their

680
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: most important player. He centralizes their attack, that's when they

681
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: look their best. And Sam Healey coming off the bench.

682
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: Sam's a really emerging player. He's he's going to be

683
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: a top liner.

684
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: I think Cobb too, Like what you were saying just

685
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 3: before about how the with the Broncos backing up, every

686
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: team seeing having expectation to play against you, you're playing

687
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: against the premiers. The fact that the Wires before they

688
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: had their injury crisis were going so good and I

689
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: had him at one stage going to the Grand Final

690
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: before Mitch Barnett and Luke Metcalfe had their season ending injuries.

691
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: It's going to be a bit of a detriment this year.

692
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: They're going to have some big games over there in

693
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: New Zealand with teams traveling over because the other thing

694
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: too is that clubs prepare, like if they don't go

695
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 3: as good traveling to New Zealand. They've all spent their

696
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: off season logistically preparing with their football managers about what's

697
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: the best way we can do it. Should we go

698
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: a day early, should we prepare earlier? Should we you know,

699
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: they try and get that real down pat so they've

700
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: got the best chance of performing good on the day.

701
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: They've got jack one of the things they've got. They've

702
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: got they've got a set formula, they've got a terrific defense.

703
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: They've got some very very good players coming through, like

704
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: leahala Sema. He played center on the weekend. He's gone

705
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: back to the bench this week. I mean he's ideally

706
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: he's a back rower. Yeah, Loop Metcalfe's a big one.

707
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: How when and how he comes back from the new

708
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: reconstruction I think may define their season. He's a question

709
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: without notice. Boys, if you had to do a dream

710
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: matchup in the Grand Final, let's just imagine now, you

711
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: just tell us what two teams you want to you

712
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: want to see them on Grand fin.

713
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now, I'd love it, particularly this

714
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: year with how their squads matching up. I'd love to

715
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: see Roosters and Rabbit o's like that'd be an unbelievable

716
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: Grand Final.

717
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I'd love to see the Titans versus

718
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: the Wires, cobber Jack, That's exactly what I was going Titans,

719
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: it's barely doesn't wouldn't sell out?

720
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: How dare are you.

721
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: Zeland fans in Vegas last year?

722
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: Like, Hey, I'm not talking about New Zealand fans and

723
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: talking about don't you remember what that reporter said to

724
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: Dez mate, there are Warriors fans out there? Where are

725
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 2: all the Titans there?

726
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: Don't worry. We'll we're going to do schoolies. Come early.

727
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: Mate. There you go.

728
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: Half ticket for schoolies, that's on you. Quarter ticket for

729
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: Tooley's writer boys. Who finishes high at season ten Roosters

730
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: or Raiders. This is Roosters once again, we begin a competition, saying, mate,

731
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: the Roosters a favorite. They can win the competition.

732
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: It's easy for me. I got Roosters. I got Roosters

733
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: top four. I don't even I think Raiders missed the eight.

734
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: I got it.

735
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: I got them ninth.

736
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: They don't have any changes.

737
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: They just got no Foggety.

738
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: No foggedy are true, but they got the young guy

739
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: coming through and the forward pack, which is probably the

740
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: most important piece for the Raiders. That doesn't change. But

741
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: I have the Roosters to make the Grand Final.

742
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: Jack, you just said the thing there which is so true.

743
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, losing Foggedy, that that experienced head is a

744
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: big one. But also Ricky and Jamal had a very

745
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: good relationship, and Jamal was and Ricky expects a lot

746
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: from his half backs, expects a lot. You know, I've

747
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: heard him saying before the seven owns, the seven owns

748
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: the result. Now they've got young halves in there. You know,

749
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: that's it's a big ass for young halves.

750
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they have like respectfully to those young halves.

751
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: I think probably a couple of those young halves they're

752
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: not like they're not first grade ready, but they're not

753
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: first grade ready to lead a team into the finals.

754
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: KB Black is gone, hasn't he? I think it was.

755
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: I do think down there he's been going good.

756
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's I've got to check. There's

757
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: so many changes going on and just have a check

758
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: for me. I'm almost certain as KB Black went from

759
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos to the Raiders, and KB Black's been a

760
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: guy that they've they've the Broncos have put a circle

761
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: around for a long time saying he's going to be

762
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: our next half back. It just didn't happen. I mean

763
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: they end up going for Jonah. He's gone there and

764
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: he's got he's had a lot of wraps on him.

765
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: But the question remains, why did Brisbane let him go?

766
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: Well, but he's also never played first grade.

767
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: You know that's That's exactly what I'm saying.

768
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like and you can't to expect a young

769
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: a young boy is going to go into a side

770
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: is half back and never playing first grade, only just

771
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: going to a new side and then lead him into

772
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: the top eight. I can't really see it on that.

773
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: So you're the Rooster's top four.

774
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've got raiders to And you know, last

775
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: year the boys down there credit a lot of their

776
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: stuff to like they printed all this. The media said,

777
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: oh they wooden spoons, wooden spooners, wooden spoons. They drew

778
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: on that. Then they won the minor premiership. Like they're

779
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: going to have to come up with a real theme

780
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: of finding motivation to get them through this long season again.

781
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: And it's hard.

782
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: Like god, people people think players go in, they go,

783
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: oh mate, what do you mean everyone goes in they

784
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 2: want to win a premiership. Everyone says they want to

785
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: win a premiership in front of the cameras and that

786
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: in front of the mic. I guarantee you there's not

787
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 2: everyone that actually wants to win a premiership. They actually

788
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 2: don't care.

789
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 1: Some people it's just not a priority.

790
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: And that's why. So the best clubs come up with

791
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: like a theme of like you know, they get the

792
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: they find the way to get the boys angry, or

793
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: they find the boys to get get them really motivated

794
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 2: by like showing what people might say in the media

795
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: about them and making it personal. If you don't make

796
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: it personal, it's not personal to the boys.

797
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: One of the most important things will the biggest factors

798
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: in war is propaganda. It's the same with the football side.

799
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: It's propaganda. Yeah, they're getting there. They're going to their

800
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: players saying, nobody, Rachel, look at billdo Richie Radabitcher, They're

801
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: laughing at all those things. The take place a lot

802
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: of properly gan to going on behind the scenes.

803
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: What a Cooper John's doing Vegas last year with a

804
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 3: bat like what there's lots of motivating fronts, you know.

805
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 2: That's to Sally, I like, and that's the thing that

806
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: Ricky hasn't contacted me this year about sort of liaising

807
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: up another thing with him to get motivated.

808
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: It could be a complacency.

809
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 2: Well that's what I mean. Last year Ricky rang me

810
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: and he was like, bring the bat on the thing

811
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 2: and mean, you'll have a little bit of a scuffle

812
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: and you'll get the galvanized the boys because the mates

813
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: on those Raiders sides. So I was happy to do

814
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: that for free, to just let.

815
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: That do nothing for free.

816
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: No, literally, I've never done anything free them.

817
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: I've got a rooster second week of the finals charity.

818
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: I've been bitten too many times by the roosters for

819
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: at the start of the season, I'm thinking, yeah they are,

820
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: They're my favorite to win the competition, and for whatever

821
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: isn't you know they just haven't hit, particularly an attack. Well,

822
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to Sammy Walker and d CU how

823
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: they operate together.

824
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: Reech Robson's out for the first eight weeks. I think

825
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 3: it's right.

826
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: It leaves a whole yea.

827
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: D C or just.

828
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Get it out of your mind and I'll see you

829
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: around that public toilet in the park. It's just layoff,

830
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: just for a little bit.

831
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 2: I'm just waiting out the front for you to come out.

832
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, mate, Cooper d C or Jamal Foggy,

833
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: who has the best season?

834
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: I got chairs, I've got d C. I think a

835
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: change speaking to him how happy he is right now.

836
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: I think he's at a point in his career where

837
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: he wants to have fun, and I think a change

838
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 2: of environment is going to be so good for him.

839
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: He's going to learn just some different stuff that he

840
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: can add to his game and I think he's going

841
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: to be so good for the Roosters because he's not

842
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: a robot. He's not someone who if they tell him

843
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: what to do, he's not afraid that. He's that kind

844
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: of figure in a team where he's not afraid to

845
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: stand up and say, I wouldn't do it that way.

846
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: I think we can do it this way. So I

847
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: actually think the rooster is going to benefit from having

848
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: him there because they have been known to be quite

849
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: robotic at different times.

850
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: Sammy Walker's favorite sides right side. That's d C's favorite too.

851
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: DC is and six do you expect? Do you expect? DC?

852
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: Who do you expect to run the show? Sam Walker

853
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: or Docu? Sam's in the seven? Traditionally it's a seven,

854
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: But I.

855
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: Think I think Chess will run the show vocally with

856
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: his talk, so I think he'll be organizing the stuff.

857
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 2: But and then I think Sam will play his natural game,

858
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: which isn't organizing reaction. He'll have He's wearing the seven,

859
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: so at the end of the day, you know, when

860
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: he calls it, they'll probably give it to him. But

861
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 2: I think Chess will organize the sets.

862
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: Okay, what about this one? The dally Ms who finishes

863
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 1: higher Kaylon Ponger or Reese Walsh.

864
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: Well, that's a juicy one.

865
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: The juicy one because Kaylen Kaylin's in the side that

866
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: is going to be really pushing to play finals football.

867
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: People expect them to sort of be another struggling season,

868
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: are they Are they expecting the Nice to make finals?

869
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I said a lot of people expecting

870
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: them to maybe push into the mid table, but there's

871
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: not that thought that I plays finals football. So will

872
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: Kaylen get enough wins to accumulate the same taken? Reece

873
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: Walsh is in the side with a lot of stars. Yeah,

874
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: they're pitching points of each other.

875
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: My theory. My theory is Kaylen will get Speaking to Caitlin,

876
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: he's like pretty excited for the year too, Like he's

877
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: very excited with how their mindset, Like they've got a

878
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: very attacking mindset this year, which I think is probably

879
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: hasn't been years gone past. It's been quite defensive, so

880
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: it's pretty I think it's exciting for both like him

881
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: and Dylan Brown with that style where they're talking about

882
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: we want to play expansive attacking style where it's all

883
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 2: out attack. If you score thirty points, we will score

884
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 2: thirty six and as.

885
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: A problem mate. The forwards are a concern. Yeah, lost

886
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: Leo Thompson, the little thin on last year with the

887
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: foards Thompson. I just that's that's the concern for Newcastle.

888
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Do Newcastle play finals football?

889
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: I haven't got them playing finals football. I've gotten playing

890
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 2: finals football.

891
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: Where do you see them? Do you see them bottom

892
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: four or moving into that?

893
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 2: I see him mid I've seen him probably abound eleventh

894
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: right now.

895
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: I think that's fair care.

896
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's around that. Which Look, I don't

897
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: think in their heads they're going to be going like

898
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't think the fans are looking at them and go,

899
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: you know, we need to play finals football. I think

900
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: the fans and they deserve it. They just want to

901
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: see an improvement and they want to see a good

902
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: style of football up there in Newcastle.

903
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: I won the Dally Ms with this one. Nathan Cleary,

904
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: Isaiah Ottawa, Mitch Moses. Which of those three men finish

905
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: heightsts on the daim.

906
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: I've got Mitch Moses.

907
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: You have him if they play finals? The Eels, I

908
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: think he walks in. I think he walked through together.

909
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: Dellian medal.

910
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 2: I think so He's a bloke that like when they're

911
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: he's probably outside of Kaalen and some of those players

912
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 2: when he's on the field with that side, like they're

913
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: a different they're a different side with Mitch Moses in

914
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 2: at Paramatta and I think if he stays fit, I

915
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: think he missed the most of any nearly every any

916
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: player in the NFL last year.

917
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: What do you hear he and Jonah Peazant.

918
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: What have you heard about their combination? Yeah, I mean

919
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: I heard they're they're quite similar in players in temperament

920
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: as well. In temperament. Yeah, it's quite similar in that sense.

921
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: They probably both want to be the seven. Obviously Mitch's

922
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: the seven, he's experienced and whatnot, but that's probably going

923
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 2: to be Jonahs end game. Wanting to be that play

924
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: that sort of role. So I think they're still figuring

925
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: that out. But they're both if they can find the

926
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 2: perfect synchronicity together, like they're going to be a deadly combo.

927
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: Jonah will soon realize how lucky he used to have

928
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: Mitch alongside him in a long season, because Jonah's only

929
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: come in fits and spurs, has fits and starts hit

930
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: for Melbourne, bits and pieces to play a full season

931
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: in that seven jersey experience, the Highs and Lows is

932
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: a totally different story. So have Mitch alongside him is

933
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: a blessing. Even if you want to own that seven jersey,

934
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: That seven jersey will come eventually when he goes to

935
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Another one here, Munster or Did who finishes higher?

936
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: Se this is? This is I'm going to I'm going

937
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: to go Did because I I sort of I reckon that.

938
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: I reckon the Cowboys will be in and around the eight.

939
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: I think they'll get enough wins for Tommy if he

940
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: has a big season to to finish higher than Monster.

941
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: You know, again with Munster, he's got Harry and Jerome

942
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: pinching points off him.

943
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: I got Monster. I think I think listening to how

944
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: the boys have been training down there and how excited

945
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: they are, particularly with the addition of suefar logo, like

946
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: I think that spine had been of perhaps Monster's hus

947
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 2: and Harry. They've been together for so long, not that

948
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: there was a bit of like complacency, but I think

949
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 2: they kind of because they knew each other inside and out,

950
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 2: like there wasn't a whole heap of difference going on

951
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: they all kind of just were going through a lot

952
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: of their motions with it, Sue. Are The boys say,

953
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: like he's he's just a fresh energy. The boys say,

954
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 2: like he just calls things at the drop of a hat,

955
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: and like it's literally like for fresh blood's being injected

956
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 2: into all of them. Like he's actually elevating those boys

957
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 2: because they're excited to play with him because he's like

958
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: just runs around like a headless chuck and he calls

959
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: It's like Cooper Kronk used toalk about playing with Billy

960
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: Slater back in the day, and he'd say, Billy just

961
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: sit off his hip and call a thousand things in

962
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 2: a set, just like I want to do this. Calls this,

963
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: calls this, and Cooper to the point where Cooper will

964
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: be like, like, you're annoying me. Stop stop And then

965
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: he'd but when he picked the time to give it

966
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: to Slatsy, he'd had something called ready to go because

967
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 2: he was just so excited to get the ball. The

968
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: boys says, so it was like that, so it's exciting

969
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: for that.

970
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: Well, the forty or the forty the six again rule now,

971
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: particularly with the twenty forty, suits himself to the smaller fullback.

972
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Trey Fuller, how well he's emerged.

973
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: Ke Kinney. As I said before, so far long ago,

974
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: the little fullback is these new address adjustments and a

975
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: rule is going to suit him even more. Okay, to

976
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: the two dummy halfs have gone to a new club,

977
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: Ree Robson from the Cowboys and the Roosters, Reid Marney

978
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: from the Dogs off to the Cowboys. Who's going to

979
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: have the better year?

980
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: I think Rece Robson. I think Rece Robson now a.

981
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 1: Lot of expectations at the Roosters.

982
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's just played, He's played Origin. I

983
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: think he's he's handling that sort of expectation. I think

984
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 2: a lot of the expectation has fall onto Dce, like

985
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 2: people have almost forgot Riece Robson has even gone there. Yeah,

986
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 2: so I think it's handy for that reason for Roo.

987
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to feel. I've just got to feel,

988
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: in real money, he's going to a big year and

989
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: all the talk coming out of town fall that is

990
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: fitting really well. Taken on a leadership role. Yeah. Interesting.

991
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: And the reason I didn't beat Master before I was

992
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: going to say it was I was filthy on the

993
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: way that you and Manster ganged up on me at

994
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: live golf. Every time I turned around, he's taking the

995
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: piss out of me. So fuck you and fuck you master. Okay.

996
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: The team most likely from outside the eight to seriously

997
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: challenge for the title a bit like Cambray did last year,

998
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: I've gone Dolphins. I'll lead off that Dolphins at the

999
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: moment are twenty one to win the comp. I think

1000
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: that is way overs I'd happened about twelve to fourteen

1001
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: to one. Have a look at that, have a look

1002
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: at their side outside backs.

1003
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: I think that having a look at great pack, have

1004
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: a looking at who finished outside the eight last year.

1005
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: I think there's only three teams that can even get

1006
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 2: in the eighth this year. For me, it's Dolphins, Paramatta

1007
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: and South Sydney Rabbits. I think the Rabbits are probably

1008
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 2: the ones for me that get in. I think they

1009
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: just if they can put it together, like their ceiling

1010
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 2: is unbelievable. It's whether they can sort of get consistent

1011
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: with their best performance in their worst performance. That's they're

1012
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: going to be their big struggle.

1013
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: Interesting about Christian Wolf, He's done a he's done a

1014
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: very very good job with this Dolphin side. He's not

1015
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: under pressure at the moment. They don't play finals this year,

1016
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: the pressure will just start to begin. This is this

1017
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: is a team who I believe must play finals this year.

1018
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: It's just too good a team. And they've got a

1019
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: young bloke in the half back Jersey that's just getting

1020
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: better and better and better all the time. By the

1021
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: end of this season, you might be saying he's the best.

1022
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: He's the best player in the game. That's how quick

1023
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: he's That's how quickly he's improving.

1024
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: So plus, their middle forward depth is the gaming as

1025
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 3: the Titan the other week was huge. Like even Fleggler

1026
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: coming back. They must have got compensation during his time

1027
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 3: out for the last couple of years because she's there

1028
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: forward stocks that's good full Max Plath, Kurt Donna, who yeah,

1029
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 3: Jesus mate, They've got some very good players on the outfit.

1030
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: Will this be Felicia's last year? He's got one more

1031
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: year after that. If that career, Felice has got to

1032
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: be older than you.

1033
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 3: From memory though he started, he's a late bloomer, wouldn't

1034
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 3: he Coop, Yeah, he was a little bit of a

1035
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 3: late bloomer in the first grade.

1036
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: He used to play fifteen minutes off the bench to

1037
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: the ruck and be blowing and then not literally blowing

1038
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: like his Bluetooth story, and then he ended up like

1039
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: the next year they just turned him into like an

1040
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: eighty minute back rower. That was the year with twenty

1041
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: seventeen where Billy Slater basically just handed him the ball

1042
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: over the triline, scoring like thirty tries.

1043
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: Who finished a sigh on the ladder? Tigers, Dragons or rather.

1044
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 2: Nights nights for me?

1045
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: Do they finish highs?

1046
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 2: I got them? I think like I'm not. I reckon

1047
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: nearly Dragon's of spoon a harsh call Dragons fans out, they're.

1048
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: They're they're inconsistent.

1049
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 2: Man.

1050
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: Last year, do you know they beat the Broncos, they

1051
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: beat the Storm, they beat the Sharks, one or two

1052
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: other powerhouse sides. They rolled out of the top all

1053
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: and then just lose and then just lose games that

1054
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: they had to win. The trill form isn't encouraging, particularly

1055
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: the result against the Rabbits in the Charity Shield. I'm

1056
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: going to Tigers. I've got a sense the Tigers and

1057
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: have a good season. I love the fact that Dewey's

1058
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: gone into seven and Jerome has gone. You don't going

1059
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: back to being Robin not Batman, He's gone into the

1060
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: sixth suit him. I like the Tigers. I like them.

1061
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: I think I don't think they'll play finals, but I

1062
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: think they'll be right on the cusp of the eighth

1063
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: their natural habitat.

1064
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 2: Ninth, ninth, ninth, one of the world.

1065
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: Okay, he's an interesting one we saw last week for

1066
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: mainly Joey Walsh come on and really he not surprised

1067
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: but rest a lot of people still a bit raw

1068
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: around the edges. But he reminded me a lot. He

1069
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: comes from Union and there was certain aspects of his game.

1070
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: He's kicking his hands past selection a little bit like

1071
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: Ricky when he came across from Rabig Union. But Joey

1072
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: Walsh right at the moment, the starting haves going to

1073
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: be Jamal Foggety and Luke Brooks by midyear. Will that

1074
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: be the same partnership or will it be Jamal or

1075
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: Joey Walsh or Joey Walsh Luke Brooks. What do you think,

1076
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: let's say, by let's say by September neck In.

1077
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: My opinion, season, I think it'll I think they'll stick

1078
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: with Brooksy and Foggerty. I think it'll be and I

1079
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: think Joey walsh All he's going to be I'm here

1080
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 2: and he's going to be on the bench. So I'm

1081
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: here and he's going to be on that six man

1082
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: bench given it six man. But I think I think

1083
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: they'll find a way to use him in another way,

1084
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 2: potentially because he's a strong runner. I think he I

1085
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 2: think they'll just find a way to put him somewhere.

1086
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: Like we're just saying about the six man bench there Jack,

1087
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: he's a perfect example where you want to put him there,

1088
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: But he needs be playing football if the r'll get involved,

1089
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: the hurd anything, because I don't think I don't think

1090
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: the eighteenth and nineteenth man should be in that position

1091
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: more than two weeks in a row. I just I

1092
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: don't think you should do it. Well.

1093
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 3: Someone said to the end of the day that they're

1094
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 3: saying that the utility, the utilities will become more valuable

1095
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 3: because that's what they'll have on the they'll have on

1096
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 3: the benches, so they can develop. So you've got all

1097
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: these specialty positions. Suddenly the utilities may get games here

1098
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 3: and there, and they might be the ones that actually

1099
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,479
Speaker 3: might miss the mad chunks of footy that will allow

1100
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 3: them to develop so specialty positions, you know, halves, maybe

1101
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 3: a back rower, certain centers, wingers. They're saying they're not

1102
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 3: going to try and find spots for them on the

1103
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 3: bench in the NFL this season. People are saying, so, okay,

1104
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: that's hard because it's a matter of coaches want to

1105
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 3: win comps this year, don't they, And then they're not

1106
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 3: really thinking about next year until, of course the next

1107
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 3: preseason comes.

1108
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: So I just think I don't think Joey. I don't

1109
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: think they can afford to put him in their week in,

1110
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: week out. He's got to be out there playing football.

1111
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: As said before, mate, he's still a little bit rawer

1112
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: in certain areas and he has come across from rugby unions.

1113
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: He just needs to get his flying time up in

1114
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: rugby league. Yeah, but I'm with you. There's Jamal and

1115
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: loop Brooks. Barring injury. You think that a dramatic loss

1116
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: of form. The Joey's going to have to buy his

1117
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: body time to mainly play finals. Jacko, what do you

1118
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: think it's hard?

1119
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it, and I'd hate to

1120
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 3: say it because I like Turbot, But I think a

1121
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 3: lot of it's going to fall on Turbo's health this

1122
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 3: year as captain especially, you know you plays to coach

1123
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: on a bid in the sgy.

1124
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: Ball Jack Jack mainly got a lot more depth than

1125
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: they thought they had. What's you on the weekend? The

1126
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: young guy you guys coach Antony last and large he

1127
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: was made. He was super impressive going from SG ball

1128
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: the following week playing in first grade trial.

1129
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 2: There's a heap, there's a heap of There was another

1130
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 2: boy as well, aj who he went on to the

1131
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: Santa Zo wing for him in that side. But they

1132
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: got a heap, a heap of talent in the June.

1133
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: This one who has the better year? Dylan Brown or

1134
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: Nico Hines, Oh geez.

1135
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 2: You putting me in some ship positions today, I think

1136
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 2: I think I think so too.

1137
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Nico. They've there's a there. He's got

1138
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: to solve that puzzle justin Holbrook as quickly as he can.

1139
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, whether it's Fletcher Sharp in the seven, center

1140
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: Smith of the seven, Dylan Brown, they're making noise at

1141
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: He'll start in the seven. What I've seen in that

1142
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: trial game against the Dogs he's played mainly right side,

1143
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: but he's a left side specialist. I think probably the

1144
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: first half of this season, Dylan's still going to be

1145
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: find his way.

1146
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think Nico's I think Nico.

1147
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 2: I think Sharks this is their chance for a premiership.

1148
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: Window like they haven't really lost anyone.

1149
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: Think they'll top four.

1150
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 2: I haven't got him top four. I've got him in

1151
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: top eight, but I think they can sert Like I

1152
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 2: hope they surprised me because I just didn't see enough

1153
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: last year. Like I know they made a prelim. They

1154
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 2: actually did a good job, but I was just quite inconsistent.

1155
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: I think they've got a They've had this side disquad

1156
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: for a long time. I think like this is the

1157
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 2: Shark time now in the next two years to have

1158
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 2: a stab at a premiership.

1159
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: I really just ripped through this. Five signings are excited

1160
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: to watch. I've gone number one Shan o' sullivan. He

1161
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: is a great signing for the Dog simply because he's

1162
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: going to give him depth. He's a clever player. But mate,

1163
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be a great coach. He's a great investment.

1164
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: He's going to He's going to do a lot of

1165
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: work coaching Lachlan Galvin. He's a great pickup, Kay Pierce

1166
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: Paul excited to watch him. I think he'll do great things.

1167
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: He's a player on the app, never really going, got

1168
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: going at Newcastle. I think he would be good there.

1169
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: Jonah Peasant intrigues me going in. It's going into the

1170
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: halves here at the eels. Dave for feeder man that

1171
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,919
Speaker 1: that left side for the bunnies. If they get Dave going,

1172
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: like you said, Coop, they could be just final certainties.

1173
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: And Selwyn Cobber I thought, I thought Selwyn has looked

1174
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: really good in the trol games. They tell me he's

1175
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: training the house down back in love with the game

1176
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: and he's just a specimen. Like to see him go, well, yeah.

1177
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 2: I got similar to you I had, Jonah, is it

1178
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 2: David Ffeeda obviously for obvious reasons, and Selwyn Cobber. I

1179
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 2: think the upside it seems like they didn't have to

1180
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 2: get a lot to get David and Selwyn at those clubs,

1181
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 2: like given that they were probably low on people's priority

1182
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 2: list for different reasons at the time. But there's a

1183
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 2: lot of upside if you can get the best out

1184
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 2: of those two and then the other two I had

1185
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 2: was Kobe Heatherington at Manley. I think he's a gun player.

1186
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: He was really instrumental in the boys up at Brisbane

1187
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 2: used to say are hardy trained and like he'd lift

1188
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: the training standard up there, and they all have a

1189
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 2: huge rap on him. So I'm really stoked to serew

1190
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 2: he goes at Manley and Leo Thompson at the Bulldogs.

1191
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be like one of the

1192
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 2: best signings of the year.

1193
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: Ten weeks out with the calf injury, but that he'll

1194
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: come back in. He'll be back in for the main games.

1195
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,479
Speaker 1: The under the radar signing, no one's really spoken about

1196
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 1: the unbloke. I think k Dyke's he's gone from the

1197
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: Sharks to the Bulldogs. That's in a stute signing. He's

1198
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: a very very very good player, third generation footballer, footy

1199
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: hair and had a horrible run of injuries, but a

1200
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: very talented player. I think he'll be a great signing

1201
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: for the Dogs.

1202
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: I've got the was it Curtis Moron up at the Titans. Yeah,

1203
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 2: he was like yeah, he's good, Yeah, yeah, I got it.

1204
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: Like under the radar, I talk about Bloody under the radar.

1205
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 2: But he did a really good job for the Dogs

1206
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 2: last year and they just had too many utilities, Like

1207
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 2: nearly the Dogs are riddled with utilities.

1208
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: So it was good in the trial game against the Dolphins.

1209
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a lot of great legs, speed through

1210
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 2: the middle, worries defenders. So curtis the throat.

1211
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: Gut signing there, I've gone your mate, d C. Yeah,

1212
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 1: I think you will. I think the change olivia anis

1213
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: the pressure off his shoulders.

1214
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've gone the chess man as well. I think DCE.

1215
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if he isn't, we'll take this part out

1216
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: of the potty through quick storylines. One is Ken Souse

1217
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 2: left side attack, live up to the potential we're talking about,

1218
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 2: Cody Walker, David Fiddle, Troll, Mitchell, Alex Johnson, Joy Gray

1219
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 2: sweeping around the back. So the other one is Dylan

1220
00:53:58,840 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: Brown and Lachlan Galvin.

1221
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: Are they capable of steering the side around the park

1222
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: and playing their best football? In seven and again, Jonah

1223
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: Pez spoke about it. Can he live up to the

1224
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: expectations and push power into the eight?

1225
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 2: Jo me to touch on just one? Yeah, because you

1226
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 2: gave them all to me at once. I'll start at

1227
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: the South one first, the left side attack. I think

1228
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 2: I think their attacks going to live up to expectations.

1229
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 2: I think their biggest thing is going to be defense,

1230
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: because every team's already licking their lips looking at that side,

1231
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 2: and it's the side you want to attack against because

1232
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: they're not known work ethic and wh Whenever we used

1233
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 2: to play against South like those sort of that edge anyway,

1234
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 2: was where everyone wanted to attack because you take gas

1235
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 2: out of them, but they're not great defenders.

1236
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that was part of why Wayne wanted

1237
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: to change the kick off all?

1238
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: Potentially?

1239
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: Probably. I think there's always a reason we.

1240
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 2: Weigh, and I was just wondering what it was I

1241
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 2: reckon potentially, But yeah, like I said, rarely do you

1242
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 2: ever see an edge that has four X factor players,

1243
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 2: Like usually there's one or two the half and the

1244
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: winger of the half in the back roll half of

1245
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: the center. But every single player on that side, Alex Johnson,

1246
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 2: Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker and Dave Forfeeda, they have all

1247
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: the X factor Like they could go to another edge

1248
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 2: and instantly turn that edge into a real dynamic edge.

1249
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 2: So now you've got them all together. You haven't. They're

1250
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 2: not surrounded by, like, you know, a real toiler who's

1251
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: going to lift up and do a lot of the

1252
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 2: work for him. They're going to have to really like

1253
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 2: improve that side of their game.

1254
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: I thought it's tell the stunk was good last year.

1255
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: Kem Murray comes back into side that had blood a

1256
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: lot of players, which it'll all go well for him.

1257
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,439
Speaker 3: Spoken, I was going to say to a j w'd

1258
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 3: be lick at his lips too for this year. So

1259
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 3: he's gonna it looks like if he's obviously, if he

1260
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 3: stays injury free, that he's going to break that t

1261
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 3: try scoring record. Credible, but you'd hope you'd put a

1262
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 3: few more on as well. Get past it the fair

1263
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 3: bit like with that edge, you'd be sitting there going, jeez,

1264
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 3: I could put if we have that edge for a

1265
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 3: couple of years, could put another forty on it.

1266
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: It breaks up his best number one try score, top

1267
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: try scorer, that number one Dylan Brown and lockown Galvin.

1268
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: Let's hold off dealing a little bit bespoken about him,

1269
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: Lachlan Galvin, do you think at this point Coopy? To me, Coop,

1270
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: he still doesn't look like a seven just on his football.

1271
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: I must say this. I think he needs to play

1272
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: a little straighter. He's sort of playing at the moment

1273
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: little bit forty five degree. He's sort of skimming across

1274
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: the defense. I think he probably needs to take it

1275
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: just to step back, play a little straighter.

1276
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. My big theory is with a lot

1277
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 2: of these clubs, they buy people and they put him

1278
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 2: in the seven rather than ch and they expect them

1279
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 2: to be the player that they're expecting, just like Melbourne

1280
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 2: did with Jerome Hughes when he went to seven. Why

1281
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 2: wouldn't you just change your attack to suit what you've got.

1282
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 2: They don't do it enough. I don't know whether it's

1283
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 2: a lack of creativity on certain coaches like Behalf, or

1284
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 2: they have a system that they know work, so they

1285
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: try to get people to bleed into their system and

1286
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 2: like they try to get them to develop into their system.

1287
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 2: You've got someone who's he might not be a seven,

1288
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 2: but you put him in the seven and you just

1289
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 2: played his strengths. I feel like that's all we can

1290
00:56:59,640 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 2: ever do.

1291
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: They might they might do that, but they might have

1292
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: shown their cards yet. But I'm interesting to watch. Okay,

1293
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 1: rookie of the Year, Coop, I got Cooper Bye. Yeah,

1294
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: I've gone Kurt Donahill, Kurdie.

1295
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 2: Donah Here is it really is his first?

1296
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 3: I think this might be his second or third year.

1297
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 2: Third year, lookie, you gotta play under five games.

1298
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: I think he played. I think he played less than

1299
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: five last year.

1300
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he debuted the year before though. I'm

1301
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 3: pretty sure he debuted the year they started from memory,

1302
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 3: you didn't do your real I think so.

1303
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he did so Cooper Bye, Yeah, good one, Coup. Yeah,

1304
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: he's a lot of lot said about him in the

1305
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: off season. Terrific, young blake, great young bloke, highly intelligent,

1306
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: big future.

1307
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's played thirty eight games for the Dolphins, Cobb,

1308
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 3: and he's debuted in twenty thirteen, brother, twenty thirteen, twenty

1309
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 3: twenty three, So.

1310
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, good on your dad, and you're the face of

1311
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 2: Fox League.

1312
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 3: And he's not wrong though. He's a freaking good player.

1313
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's played thirty six games, so I could tell

1314
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 2: you if he was a good playoff to thirty six games, Okay,

1315
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 2: Coop Dalian winner. I got our man, Brandon Smith. Oh yeah, Brandon,

1316
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: I got the cheese. I think particularly if that South

1317
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 2: Sydney side can get going, I think being able to

1318
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 2: a hooker, being able to play off the back of

1319
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: quick play the balls from their back rollers Cam Murray,

1320
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 2: I think it'd be exciting. I want to see Southco good.

1321
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 2: I really do want to see Sosco good.

1322
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: Really want to see Brandon go good. I've touched on

1323
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: my Mitch Moses, coach of the I've gone Josh. I've

1324
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: seen in the off season, the way they played in

1325
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: the break, the way he holds himself. Everything I'm going

1326
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: to get Josh Hana a little bit of self interest, sure,

1327
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: but I think I'm confident he can do that.

1328
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got I got the Wayne playing Wayne Bennett. Yeah,

1329
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: Wayne Bennett, you're mad Shagger. I got him. I think

1330
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 2: he's the one that's if he I think it'll be

1331
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: his He's done a lot in the game, but I

1332
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 2: think it'll nearly be one of his best achievements if

1333
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 2: he can do something with this South side, who have

1334
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 2: a lot of players who people doubt or like they're inconsistent.

1335
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 2: If he can galvanize them all together, I think it'd

1336
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 2: be Wayne's best victory.

1337
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: He's eighty one two is one.

1338
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 3: No I think he's like seventy. I think he's twenty

1339
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 3: years younger, older than Trish, which I get my gauge

1340
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 3: off because he's born a weird person. He's borne fifty.

1341
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: I've got greend final teams who meet a ground final day.

1342
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: I've gone the Bulldogs and the Panthers have my Grand Final.

1343
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: I like what I've seen in the Dogs in the

1344
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: trial games. Their defense has been superb. Their left side

1345
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: was beautiful. Burton's got a hamstring injury, but the left

1346
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: side he's just found his ball playing just his past

1347
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: selection in the timing of how he lets it go

1348
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: to his outside man, so Burton a couple of steps

1349
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: to kick out a couple of steps onto Crichton. It's

1350
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: a great that left side combination is the best in

1351
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: the comp I've got.

1352
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 2: This is going to sound boring as shit for our listeners,

1353
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 2: but Penroth and Storm, I've got them. I think Storm

1354
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 2: having the last two they've lost, they haven't really lost

1355
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 2: whole heap of players. I know, perhaps Nelson and Ellie

1356
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: KATOI is going to be out yep, but just hearing

1357
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 2: what I'm hearing from like Sewer and how motivated those

1358
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 2: lads are particularly like they've hurt for a couple of

1359
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 2: years in those Grand Final losses. I think they're going

1360
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 2: to come back and I think Penrith like I'm tipping

1361
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 2: Penrith for a pretty successful year. I think like they've

1362
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: got a lot of motivation to draw on and like

1363
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 2: they they've they've drawn on it when they haven't had

1364
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 2: any reason to go back to back to back to

1365
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: back before. So I think they're really going to have

1366
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 2: a good year.

1367
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Well ow Fox Sports predicted promo guy Promo guy Charlie Lambert,

1368
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: who's champion does all the great promos. He said when

1369
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: he turned up at Panthers training, he said, maye they

1370
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: hed their heads on. Oh really yeah, that says a lot. Well, boys,

1371
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: we better get up there and pack our bags. We're

1372
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: about to We're about to jump on that jet off

1373
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: to to Vegas, Vice San Francisco Economy.

1374
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 2: You blokes, are you going? Business?

1375

Speaker 1: Mate? Look what unless it's a regional airline Rex, I

1376
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: don't get right mate, I just go left.

01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 2: What happened?

1378
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the cockpit.

1379
