The Rooster's putting out a press release 46 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: this afternoon. Journos, what's the latest. 47 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 5: Well, the latest is that Victor Radley has been saved 48 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 5: at the Roosters. He gets a ten match suspension. Part 49 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 5: of that includes losing all his salary for that ten 50 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 5: match suspension, which equates to a round we worked it 51 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 5: out before, two hundred thousand dollars by our estimates. There's 52 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 5: also a thirty thousand dollars fine that will go to 53 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 5: a charity, but he keeps his place at the club. 54 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 6: It's pretty hefty sanctions, obviously the most significant that club's 55 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 6: ever doled out to a player. But you know, we've 56 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 6: got to be honest. There's going to be people out there. 57 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 6: I think it's not enough given Knicks comments earlier this year. Now, 58 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 6: I'm sure if Nick Haty's time over again, he didn't 59 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 6: imagine when he made those comments it would be used 60 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 6: against him in terms of a play a lot. Victor 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 6: Radley has been a law servant to that footy club, 62 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 6: a local junior. And I'm happy with where they've arrived 63 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 6: because Victor deserves a bit of leeway because of what 64 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 6: is the service is given that forty club in his 65 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 6: local junior. But there are going to be people out 66 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 6: there break there's no doubt about that. Who go Well, 67 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 6: you said something nex month, three months, four months ago, 68 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 6: and they you've changed a tune. 69 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: And we'll get to that. Ready, what toll take on this? 70 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 5: Actually I played Devil's advocate here break. 71 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 7: I think look nixt come back into the country, was 72 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 7: in Europe within twelve hours. 73 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: It's done. 74 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 7: It's typical, Nick polotis straight cut to the chase. I think, though, 75 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 7: if Victor hasn't been named in the police investigation, is 76 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 7: it excessive? Ready, So I'm going against what you said. 77 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 7: But one hundred and eighty to two hundred thousand dollars 78 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 7: when he wasn't named in the police report. 79 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: Yes, those texts were quite damning. 80 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 7: There's no doubt we believe there was a drug bill 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 7: had taken place. 82 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: But I just think two hundred thousand. 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 4: Dollars for what he did or didn't do is excessive. 84 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 3: And we'll dive into this soon. But let's have a 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: look at the Rooster's statement that they put out late 86 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: this afternoon. The City Roosters are aware of the references 87 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: in the media to communications allegedly between Sydney Rooster's player 88 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: Victor Radley and others in relation to allegedly obtaining an 89 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: illegal substance. 90 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 4: The club will impose the following sanctions on Radley. 91 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 3: The negative attention the allegations have brought to the club 92 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: a ten match suspension without pay, a thirty thousand dollars 93 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: donation to be made to this Invintent's Hospital for cancer research. 94 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 3: This represents the heaviest sanction ever imposed on a player 95 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: in the club's history. So, yes, Nick did say that 96 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: he had no tolerance, no tolerance at all for this. 97 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: But it is a severe punishment. What's your thoughts on that, Well. 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 5: It is a severe punishment. But Nick was the one 99 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,559 Speaker 5: that said we have a zero tolerance. If we find 100 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 5: anyone who we believe, you know, has taken drugs, we 101 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 5: will get rid of them. 102 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: That was the statement. 103 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: So more to what really said, that's how people are 104 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 5: going to look for a brave for good or boy 105 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: bad like this is. This is a massive, massive fine, 106 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 5: a ten match suspension when you put it up against 107 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 5: you know what other players have been fine and you 108 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 5: know the punishment that was handed out to Latrell Mitchell, 109 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 5: the punishment that was handed out to Ezra Man. It's 110 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 5: bigger than both. 111 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 7: Look at that first paragraph, right, If somebody's caught doing 112 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 7: cocaine or leaning over snorting something. 113 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: Is there any proof at. 114 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: All that that's what Victor Radley did? 115 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 5: No, there's no proof, and that's why the police have 116 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 5: not pushed forward with charges. 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: Right. If that's the case, then but we can't take 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: that world because we don't know what happened. 119 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 5: Politis right, is the boss of that club. There's been 120 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 5: conversations held indoors and they know exactly what would have 121 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 5: gone on, and that's why they've come out with the 122 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 5: punishment that they've got. Now, I'm not saying it's a 123 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 5: light punishment. All I'm saying is Nick was the one 124 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 5: that put it out there. We will get rid of 125 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 5: him and that will be the criticism coming from other 126 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 5: people within the game. Do I think it's a heavy punishment, 127 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 5: bloody oath? 128 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: I do we know what Rugua Leag's like? 129 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: Right? 130 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 6: I mean every other club and every other fan is 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 6: going to be in the background. They're needling away at 132 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 6: the roosters saying, look at them, they've gone weak on 133 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 6: this bloke. And how can you say because in comparison, 134 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 6: because you al termed of his breath, they could have 135 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 6: sacked him. 136 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: But that's a lot more significant. That's a lot more significant. 137 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: How can you say that. 138 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 6: I'm not saying I'm sacked, saying my point is the clubs, 139 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 6: let's have at in the background, let's have it all. 140 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: Say you know that, I know that. 141 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 3: But what I'm trying to say this long time trying 142 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: to say, I know that, right, But how can you 143 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: say that compared to let's have a look at the 144 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: other finds that other players.

Exactly? So? 168 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 6: But I asked this question, if it was player twenty 169 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 6: eight and the roster, you think it'd still be there? 170 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: Twenty eight and the roster number. 171 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 6: Twenty eight, Player twenty eight and the roster, do you 172 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 6: think it's still be there? I think he gets sacked. 173 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 3: Well, that's hard to tell. 174 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 6: I don't know at a problem because players always get 175 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 6: treated differently. 176 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: Star players get treated differently. 177 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what you get said about about probably 178 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: fifty or sixty players in the past, exactly. 179 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 2: Of course, happened the broncost. 180 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: I'm just saying that the two guys didn't shown there, 181 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: would they would they still be no? Exactly, so you 182 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: can say about it. 183 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: I'm just saying that I. 184 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 6: Personally did not have an issue with the decision I've 185 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 6: reached today because I think Victor has earned through his 186 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 6: actions on the field and off the field over the years, 187 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 6: through his lords of that Footage club, through the Factor's 188 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 6: junior there, and he's embedded there. 189 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,479 Speaker 2: I think he's deserved another opportunity. 190 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 6: There were also who will disagree wholeheartedly with that and 191 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 6: say the club has bottled it. 192 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 5: Because because it hasn't gone and it hasn't been pursued 193 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 5: as a police matter, right, And it then comes back 194 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 5: to the club making a moral decision. You know, have 195 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 5: you affected the integrity of the game or you know, 196 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 5: against our club And to sack a player by those 197 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 5: means is a big deal. You've got to go through 198 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 5: a process. You know, we've seen it in the past 199 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 5: with several Canbra players carne Ferguson Dog and those sort 200 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 5: of things. But you've got to go and then they 201 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 5: can challenge that, as Carnie did when he was at 202 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 5: the Sharp so cunning. 203 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: It would have been an expensive thing. 204 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 5: Even though Nick had come out and said what he said, 205 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 5: in hindsight he would regret it because you almost can't 206 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 5: go through with it. And also in the modern world, 207 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 5: it's you know, it's not practical, you know, because drugs 208 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 5: are in society, not just in rugby league. They're everywhere, 209 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 5: and if you're dealing with so many young people in 210 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 5: a football club, you've got to have a little bit 211 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 5: of compassionate times. 212 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 3: The roosters have. 213 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 7: Whether it's delivered or not, sent shock waves through the 214 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 7: ennarulo with this suspension, whether it's excessive or not ready. 215 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 7: The point I'm trying to make you is that this 216 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 7: is a heavy line of the sand which every player 217 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 7: at every club will be looking at very closely, thinking, 218 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 7: I'm a professional athlete. 219 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: If I want to go down this path, whether it 220 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 3: be to snort drugs, to. 221 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 7: Buy text about cocaine, whatever it may be, this is 222 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 7: the consequences. So the Roosters, whether you like it or not, 223 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 7: have probably done the whole competition and enormous favor by 224 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 7: saying put your heads in. 225 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: If you don't, you're out for ten weeks. 226 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 5: They've put it on them, haven't they. When it comes 227 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 5: to supporting stupid stuff in text messages, like whether whether 228 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 5: it be the messages from Radley to Brandon Smith or 229 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 5: Brandon Smith about the betting, like this, this stuff, allegedly 230 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 5: this stuff, you know, it's a message to every young 231 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 5: kid out there, put your phones away and don't do it. 232 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: I reckon. 233 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 6: You're asa velid point cruise in the legal aspect of this, 234 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 6: because it would have been really hard for the footag 235 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 6: club to sack Victor Radley without being forced into a 236 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 6: significant payout. And I think that's played a part in 237 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 6: this as well, the fact that legally they didn't really 238 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 6: have a right to sack him. 239 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 7: Ready, is there a way We've just looked at all 240 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 7: those suspensions. They're all varying and it's both borned out. 241 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 7: There's a lot of inconsistencies in there and indiscretions. Is 242 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 7: there a way in rugby league that we can start 243 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 7: to get some conformity and can consistency consistency rather where 244 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 7: we don't have the situations where we've got this bout ten. 245 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 7: I know, ever, you the case is different. I get that, 246 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 7: but it just sends me. 247 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: At the moment. It's just so hard. Got one game, 248 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 3: you got three different he three entirely different Circumslance, I 249 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: get it. When do they jump in? How do they 250 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: jump in? What are the rules around them jumping in? 251 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 3: At what time? 252 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: And you know it'd be hard to manage, I think, 253 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 4: But it's a good point. 254 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 5: You may there's also you can only make it so 255 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 5: tough because there's also the Rugby League Players Associate Association 256 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 5: out there, and you would think that there would be 257 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 5: an argument that what are they going to do with this? 258 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 5: Where are they going to stand? Are they going to 259 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 5: accept that this is a fair punishment to Richdor Victor Radley. 260 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 5: He's already accepted it, which probably takes it out of 261 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 5: their hands. 262 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 6: I know we're going to get to Brandon, but Jesus 263 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 6: put some pressure on South when they hand out their 264 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 6: sanctions for Brandon Smith, which will come, which will come 265 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 6: at some point, it's put. 266 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: In either of these things. 267 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 6: I've been texting Andrew. They were not involved in this 268 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 6: decision that he's told me that their arm's length to it. 269 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 6: They'll make their own call. When the case is over. 270 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 4: They come over the top. 271 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: Well it kind of as they come over the top 272 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: of this. 273 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: Lenient. I think they have the ability watching. 274 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 7: I don't think SOUS will care, really, I don't think 275 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 7: SOUS will feel any pressure with Brandon Smith just because 276 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 7: the Roosters did that. 277 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: But they will. 278 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 5: They will from the perspective if they go too softly. 279 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 5: The NRL almost have to come over the top because 280 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 5: of what the Roosters have done with Brandon. 281 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: But that's my problem, Sorr. There's no uniform suspensions. Saus 282 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: can do what they like, given he wasn't charged. Victor 283 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 3: did the r or planny part of this. 284 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: I didn't check their breath today. 285 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 6: Obviously happened so late, so I'm sure they'll have something 286 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 6: to say about it because there are restrictions on what 287 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 6: clubs can find. 288 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 4: Do you think they would have acted if they tried 289 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 4: to sack the Victor? 290 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: There's every chance they may have got involved. 291 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 7: In Victors accepted the ten games too. We should make 292 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 7: that point. He's not bluing, he's accepted it. In that release, 293 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 7: he was actually attributed a quote, so yeah, he's okay 294 00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 7: with it. 295 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 4: Well, but this is I see Victor every morning. He's 296 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 4: such a great one, he really is. 297 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 3: He's stuffed up, made a big mistake and he's playing 298 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: the price for it. 299 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 5: Do you think that's also another part of this too, 300 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 5: because there was there's seven guys that go up there 301 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,599 Speaker 5: on that golf trip, right, and there's no indication and 302 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 5: no proof or no suggestion that any of those were 303 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: involved in this. But but to then for the roosters, 304 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 5: if they would have gone through and sacked Victor. That 305 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 5: would have the potential surely to tear a hole through 306 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 5: that plane group and that club potentially. 307 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, there would have been a lot of thought process 308 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: to go behind this decision by the Roosters. It was. 309 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 3: It was a messy one. It was a messy one, 310 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 3: and no one really knows what the right answer is 311 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: or was, and they've come up with a strong one. 312 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: The fans now, the fans. I was getting messages today, 313 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: petitions We're getting sent around by the Roosters fans to 314 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: say Victor, they're pretty passionate about this. 315 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 6: Well, it's a popular guy, isn't he. As I said, 316 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 6: He's been part of that club for a long time. 317 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 6: You know, he's bled for that footag club. 318 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: We all know this. 319 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 6: She's got issues, has gone through in terms of head 320 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 6: knocks and injuries, and you know, he's a love figure. 321 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 6: He's at the local Junior, which is a rarity for 322 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 6: the Rooster So the fans love him, and I'm sure, 323 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 6: as I said, both, you know, a lot of people 324 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 6: would suggest the Roosters sort of sacked him. I don't 325 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 6: have a problem with where they've landed, because they Victor's 326 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 6: earned the right for another opportunity. 327 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: All right. Now once again, Victor Radley hasn't been charged 328 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: and there's no suggestion he obtained or took any illegal drugs.

What's the latest on this situation? 331 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 6: Just been journal October nine, Braith, and he's not There 332 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 6: was a couple of interesting things to come out of 333 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 6: the court hearing today. 334 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: It was very short. 335 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 6: But he's not allowed to make contact with this alleged 336 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 6: drug dealer or Victor Radley while he's on bail. And 337 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 6: he's given bail to go about his life. 338 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: I guess. 339 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 6: So he's back in court in October nine and we'll 340 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 6: find a bit more out then, am I missings? 341 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 7: I mean, Brandon Smith didn't tell the drug dealer to 342 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 7: place the bet, did he, So that's quite significant. 343 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: He just told him the odds. 344 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 4: But he only told him the odds and that he 345 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: was starting. 346 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 7: But in the big picture, you can tell the butcher, 347 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 7: your mum, your dad, and the local candlestick. 348 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 3: Maker that you're starting. 349 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 7: So again I'm not trying to well, this is a 350 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 7: fallback on any suspension the first. 351 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: One, Dolly, and but it was probably the second one 352 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 3: that was a little bit more damn you, I would 353 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 3: say this was this was one here where he went 354 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 3: to the guys. He actually contacted friend and told him 355 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: the odds of both bets anytime and first tri scorer 356 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 3: and told him you're starting. So, you know, does anyone 357 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 3: have a problem with it or. 358 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 5: They're okay, Look, it's really dumb for a professional athlete 359 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 5: playing in a game where you've you've given all this 360 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 5: education about betting and your obligations to your club and 361 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 5: to the game. It's super dumb. We know when I 362 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 5: look at that. When I look at that, you know, 363 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 5: if you're talking to your mate on the street and 364 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 5: you ring up and you're playing first grade and you're saying, oh, yeah, 365 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 5: I'm starting on paying ninety one dollars, you have a 366 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 5: bit of a laugh about it. I don't see it 367 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 5: as the crime of the century. And so when we 368 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 5: talk about the potential suspension if this ends up, you know, 369 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: a final slap on the wrists in the courts, just 370 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 5: because the Roosters have gone so hard on Bradley because 371 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 5: of what the line in the sand that Nick drew, 372 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 5: does that mean South should then go so hard. I'm 373 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 5: not so sure there will be pressure. 374 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 3: I think they will. It's just whether the ennerl jump in. 375 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 376 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, But again are they entitled to do that? 377 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 5: Because when you look at Victor's fine, if not for 378 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 5: what Vic Polita says, it's way over the top. 379 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 3: It's way over the top. What do we think of 380 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 3: this one? Then, compared to like Tandy, Simona, there's other guys. 381 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 2: There's completely different than I think. 382 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 6: What's more telling is when you watch the game this game, 383 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 6: there's no suggestion Brandon actually went out of way to 384 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 6: try and score the first try run. I think you 385 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 6: had one run out of dummy half early in that game, 386 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 6: but aside from that, there was no when you watch 387 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 6: the game, there's no suggestion needed anything out of the 388 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 6: ordinary to try and be the first try score or 389 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 6: to impact the result in a way that might reflect 390 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 6: that bet. So I think when you when you bring 391 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 6: the two together, you know, I don't think it's overly significant. 392 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 5: Which is the big difference between what happened with Tandy, 393 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 5: because you know that was an orchestrated campaign to get 394 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 5: a result and unfortunately it didn't work for them. But 395 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 5: in this instance, it's one Blake having a run from 396 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 5: dummy half basically doing his job, and that's what he does. 397 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 5: He goes out and he runs from dummy half and 398 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 5: he had one run. 399 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 7: Increasingly difficult for any quarter law to suggest and to 400 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 7: press for a conviction that he altered his style of 401 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 7: play because of these alleged betting activity. 402 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 5: But there is a bigger issue too for the game, 403 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 5: and we spoke about it a few weeks ago. The 404 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 5: fact that the game now is in bed with the 405 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 5: betting agencies and and there's fifty million dollars of revenue 406 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 5: that comes to the game. Players have to be on 407 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 5: board with it. 408 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 3: Glos have to be on board of it. 409 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 5: When you're talking about the transparency of starting teams and 410 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 5: that sort of stuff. 411 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 6: I imagine the game and when I send the message 412 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 6: out of this as well, that just be careful the 413 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 6: messages is send and the way the en it all 414 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 6: sends the messages by sanctioning him in some way over 415 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 6: those text matches, even if they are innocent, then I 416 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 6: want want those sort of messagers being shared with people 417 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 6: of He'll repute all right. 418 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 3: Brandon Smith's case on alleged drug and gambling charges remains 419 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 3: before the courts. It's understood he'll plead not guilty to 420 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 3: both Chargers. Now ready Crichtons. Now, I've been hearing today 421 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 3: that he is a bigger chance the most think of 422 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 3: him playing this game against the Panthers, And what does 423 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: that mean if he does play? 424 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 6: Okay, Broth, I'm going to try and get this right. 425 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 6: So if Crichton players, that means Burton plays six Galvin 426 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 6: plus seven Bally, Hayward and Hooker and Toby Sexton and 427 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 6: Brighton iChon. 428 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: Play sex of the bench. Yeah. 429 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 6: If Crichton doesn't play, that means Red Marney looks like 430 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 6: he won't be in the team. If Crichton plays, Crichton 431 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 6: doesn't play, well, that changes everything because Burton goes to 432 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 6: the centers, Delvin shifts to six, sext and the seven. 433 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 6: Red Marney potentially starts the game with Bali Havard coming 434 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 6: off the bench because it gives them. 435 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 3: A bit more versatility. Crighton significant Marny misses it. If 436 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 3: Brighton doesn't play, Marty starts. 437 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: Yes, that's what we're hearing breath today. 438 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 5: And section drop into the bench even though Sexting came 439 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 5: on the field last week as a seven and change 440 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 5: the game. What do you think about that. 441 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to go there. There his choice, He's 442 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 3: made his choice. Sorell tho. I don't think he's going 443 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: to change he seven now. 444 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 7: But whether we like it or we don't, whether we 445 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 7: agree with it or we don't, I don't think so. 446 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 3: Seven no matter what. I just think you have him 447 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: at seven, kicking. 448 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 5: Your head in the sand and pretending it's not an 449 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 5: issue when it is. There was. There was a guy 450 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 5: called the Finals sitting in that seat last night, and 451 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 5: you know he's a former champion half back and he 452 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 5: just tells it as it is and he says, you 453 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 5: know what the game changed, sext as your seven, full stop. 454 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 3: There's not many players that I haven't spoken that I've 455 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 3: spoken to, and even Runnie Matua said the same as 456 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 3: an ex Bulldog's legend. 457 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 4: I don't think that Sexton should be playing seven. 458 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 3: There's not many. 459 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 6: I know, Doggie, I'm dying on this hill. I'm back 460 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 6: in Galvin and seven. 461 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 3: We know what you're doing. 462 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 5: That feel do you feel that it's got It's got 463 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 5: to the stage because it is so obvious to us all, 464 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 5: even though you don't want to admit it, that Sexton 465 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 5: is at this point of his career and where the 466 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 5: dogs are at the moment. They're playing for their life 467 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 5: in this competition, not next year, not the year after. 468 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 5: Sexton right now is the bloke that is the better 469 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 5: half back? 470 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: Clearly? Do you think he's around them more than we are? 471 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 5: But because he has made this decision and he stood 472 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 5: by it and he's backed himself upon it, do you 473 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 5: think it maybe has got to the stage now where 474 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,239 Speaker 5: he almost can't backtrack on it. 475 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 2: Well, if he's. 476 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 7: Made the decision, you're saying, everyone agrees that it should 477 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 7: be sextant, but why then and break you're probably the 478 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 7: best man to ask this question to why won't Cameron 479 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 7: Cirello do it then? 480 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 3: Or your mates are saying should happen? But why do 481 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 3: you figures an elite coach, he's not doing. 482 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: It a call. 483 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 6: They've gone down, they've gone down on this road and 484 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 6: they've committed to it. 485 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: You can't. You don't change it now. He obviously believes 486 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: in it. 487 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 4: But that's fine, but you said that you don't change it. 488 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 2: Because he's the coach and he believes in it. An 489 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: somebody he doesn't believe in his life. 490 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 5: Sometimes in life, you make a decision at one point 491 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 5: and then sometime down the track you have new information, 492 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 5: you are able to change your opinion. 493 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 2: But clearly it hasn't okay. 494 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 5: So it's like away from it. 495 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 3: It's looking like Chrichton's not playing this week, okay, and 496 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 3: he's put Sex in a seven yep, So he could 497 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 3: have easily have put Burton at five out and kept 498 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 3: Galvin at seven. 499 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 2: But we saw how Burton played last week in the 500 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 2: center's he was outstanding. 501 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 4: You just make him my point ere because he can't. 502 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 6: Play it in the centers of Steve Crichton's available and 503 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 6: he's got to be in the team. So that forces 504 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 6: you in the decision we play are you going to drop? 505 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 3: It's been great you keep in the team somewhere, but 506 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 3: even on that, you keep playmakers. 507 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 4: They're the one's going to win your grand finals. So 508 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 4: we're talking. 509 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: We're about to talk about Nicko Hines and Jamal Foggan 510 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 3: and how important they are winning the premiership, not just games, 511 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: winning the competition. That's what you prioritize. I think what's 512 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 3: what's important he too is Crichton looks like he's going 513 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 3: to be out. The big move is that Marny is starting. 514 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: So are you happy with that or not. 515 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 7: I said on the show a month ago that I 516 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 7: would have had read Marny starting every week in the finals. 517 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 2: He's a finals player. 518 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 3: He's got a bit of niggering him, he's got a 519 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 3: bit of shit in him. I can say that on now. 520 00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 3: I just did. 521 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 7: He's the I want to go to war with Braith 522 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 7: in a semi final. I want to read money absolutely. 523 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 3: Career, stay st stay strong. 524 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 6: Well, no, this one I haven't been so definitive on. 525 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 6: But as long as Reid Marney keeps his wits about 526 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 6: him and doesn't. 527 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 3: Do something I can't quite this and making out like 528 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 3: he gives away penalties left frond center anymore, He's been 529 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 3: good that you can see. It's irrelevant and got nothing 530 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 3: to do with this decision by surround. I think that's actually. 531 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: This one. I don't mind. I don't mind if he 532 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: starts Money, starts Award. 533 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 5: On the way right, Seraldo believes what he believes, and 534 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 5: he's the bloke that's inside the club. Okay, so he's 535 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 5: best equipped to make a decision. But I reckon, if 536 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 5: you polled one hundred form of first graders, I reckon 537 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 5: probably ninety nine of them would go with the fact 538 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 5: that Marney should be at hooker sect and should be 539 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 5: at halfback, Burton should be at five eight cry and 540 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 5: then Cherry should be in the centers. Like you say 541 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 5: Burton was good at to say, yes, he is a 542 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 5: world class center, but he's also a bloody good five 543 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 5: eight and he's their best chance. Guys like Cooper Cronklin said, 544 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 5: for the Bulldogs to win the competition petition, Matt Burton 545 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 5: has to be it. 546 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 3: That's what that's such a spin out because you know, 547 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 3: I come on this show and I'm a Bulldog supporter 548 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 3: who wants him to win. But I also talk to 549 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 3: a lot of players, you know, Cameron Spith said it 550 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 3: on Chell and I and you got a lot of 551 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 3: ex legends and current players and you know, ex Bulldogs 552 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 3: who have the same opinion as of what I do 553 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: on here. So it makes me That's why I say 554 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: it on here because I believe it, but I'm also 555 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 3: getting that reinforcement from guys who I respect. That's why 556 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 3: I just can't work it out. And yes, I respect 557 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 3: her out and I think he's a great coach, and 558 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 3: all I do is wrap him on this show. But 559 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 3: I'm still a little bit puzzled by his decision making 560 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 3: this year, I don't know. 561 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 5: And then it goes forward to next week because if 562 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 5: Crichton doesn't play this week, but there's a chance he will. 563 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 5: But if he does, and then the problem and hums 564 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 5: along in a prelim final and then you're going to 565 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 5: make the decision or do you make the decision? To 566 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 5: Galvin's the obvious man that goes. 567 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 3: Because if the Dogs go out in straight sets the Tigers, 568 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 3: do they have the last laugh on this? On this 569 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 3: do they have the last laugh? You know? 570 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 5: Okay, So if locky locky Galvin when he when he 571 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 5: went to the club, he said, I want to step 572 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 5: out of my comfort zone. And yes, he stepped out 573 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 5: of his comfort zone. But has it worked out best 574 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 5: for him? And has it worked out best for the Dogs? 575 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: It's six months. This is a five year journey. 576 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 6: You can't he goes with the journey dead said, you. 577 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 4: Can't put what's going to be. 578 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 6: This has been an object failure based on justice season. 579 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 6: They've signed him for a long time. 580 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 2: Believe he is a player who's going to get better 581 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 2: and better and better. 582 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 5: This sense into you on Monday nine, Competition Understand and 583 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 5: there's an opportunity at the moment, question was is. 584 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 6: The Galvan thing a successful failure? You can't do. 585 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 5: What I reckon. The Tigers fans will cheer if they 586 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 5: don't win, and regardless of the outcome on Sunday, Lachlan 587 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 5: Galvin will continue to be the biggest story on Sunday night, 588 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 5: like win lose, will draw that he is the biggest 589 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 5: story coming out of this game. If the Bulldogs lose, 590 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 5: there will be uprull from their fans. And if they 591 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 5: if they make it through and Crichton returns next week 592 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 5: and again became the colection store. 593 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 3: Dogs fans are sticking solid and tell you if they 594 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 3: lose this weekend, that may change. The Tigers have had 595 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: the last laugh. 596 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 7: I'm just saying that they wanted to keep him, they 597 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 7: wanted to spend How much was it. 598 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 5: I could argue when when my last laugh, I mean 599 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 5: when when he came to the Bulldogs, they were sitting 600 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 5: on top of the competition. Things were rock and they 601 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 5: were they a. 602 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: Really good position. 603 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 5: They were in a great position to win this qualpetitions. 604 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 5: How they were rocking, most of the people were conceived 605 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 5: bar Brent Reid that in the time that he's been 606 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 5: at the club.
