You've covered it, other media 155 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: circles have covered it as well. You can't underestimate what 156 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: he has been able to achieve this year. 157 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 4: Look were serious thoughts at the Roosters last year that 158 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: while they wanted to stick solidly beside and behind Angus, 159 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 4: that you know his career was in serious, serious jeopardy. 160 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 4: And that's when the Australian Rugby Union came in. Rugby 161 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: Australia I had an offer on the table, his manager 162 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 4: David Rawlings was looking at. It was pulled at the 163 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 4: last minute when Rugby Australia got in that financial trouble. 164 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: There were no other NRL options for Angus because he 165 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 4: was in trouble with his mental health and one of 166 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 4: the great comeback stories in recent times. 167 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: He's the best back roller in the comp right now 168 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: and with the wealth back rows we have, we got kickout. 169 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: That's that's like had his moments and Oli Kawatu's been 170 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: fantastic for Feeders, you know, had a great month. But 171 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: just out of all the great back rolls in our game, 172 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: I reckon he's the one that's in the. 173 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 6: He's arguably the story of the season with what he's done, 174 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 6: the ways turned his life around. He's talked about Australian 175 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 6: rugby buzz. He was almost going to French rug and 176 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 6: the Australian rugby deal fell through. He was going to 177 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 6: go to Montpellier and play France and then obviously everything 178 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 6: happened to the Roosters and his form turned around. He 179 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 6: got himself a nice new two year deal out of it, 180 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: so as well deserved because he's been outstanding. 181 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 4: You know what he's burst the last ten weeks does 182 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 4: coincide with the Forfeeder offer. 183 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 6: And he was playing pretty good before. 184 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: That, yeah, but not as explosive as the last ten 185 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 4: weeks read and he was you know, he was angry 186 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 4: that the club offered the other. 187 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: Fellow big Some players play better when they're angry, but 188 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: you can tell with him he's playing a lot better 189 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: with a clear mind and a hell of a lot 190 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: of confidence. At the moment now, Queensland s Kipadella Jay 191 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 2: Evans is refusing to buy into talk he'll retired from 192 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: red footy, with all his focus on winning the decider 193 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: in Brisbane. 194 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 8: I've said this and I can't be any clearer. I 195 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 8: don't make his decisions during the year. I do my 196 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 8: best thinking in the off season. But while I'm in 197 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,599 Speaker 8: the thick of it, I'm just going to keep and 198 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 8: joining it. I got dropped, wasn't playing well enough to 199 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 8: keep a spot on this side, but Ermie spot back 200 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 8: and I have literally played every game like it's my last. 201 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 8: I know I'm getting old, so retirement becomes a bit 202 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 8: of a talking point. But I don't need to. I 203 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 8: don't need a fairy tale to finish. For as long 204 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 8: as I'm good enough to hold a spot in this team, 205 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 8: It'll be very hard to pass up in future. 206 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: Oh what about that far though? 207 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 4: You want a stitch nothing to do with it. 208 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: You were thirty eight? Whose column was this? 209 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: It was in my cold I don't choose digitally autored images. 210 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: We don't choose the headlines. Right now what we're blaming 211 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: the editor. 212 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 4: But you know what, if he keeps going next year, 213 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: he'll overtake Petro seven as the oldest player in Origin history. 214 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 4: Didn't have a great game in Melbourne. It's outstanding game one. 215 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: Half fact would have played that good. But do you 216 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: think you should retire? For me? 217 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: I've been surprised as even a conversation right now. This 218 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: guy's been exceptional for a number of years. He's lost 219 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: one game. In Game one he was incredible. Why are 220 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: we even talking about this? 221 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 4: Maybe sorry read, maybe the Premiership at Manly to cap 222 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 4: his career. It would mean a little bit more than 223 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: an Origin series at this stage. 224 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 5: And maybe he wants to devote everything. You don't know. 225 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: You're saying there's a chance he may step is this 226 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: is your opinion, step down from Origin to play to focus. 227 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 5: On Yeah, like a lot of men do what. 228 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. 229 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 6: I think Dahi missed out in Origin for what while 230 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 6: there was that time and he was on the outer 231 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 6: with the Queensland team and you're sort of making up 232 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 6: for lost time a little bit. Daly and he's a 233 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 6: guy who keeps himself in supreme shape. He still goes 234 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 6: back to malely in pre season wins the fitness drills, 235 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 6: so he is azeless in that respect. And I think 236 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 6: he'll played beyond next year buzz. So if he plays 237 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 6: Origin next year, he can play next year, retire then 238 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 6: next year and I think club for him. 239 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 5: For another couple of years. 240 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: But what do you think the ex Origin legend? 241 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: I think I think the way he's cutting it at 242 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: the moment, he's our leader, there's there's no slowing down, 243 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: and with the half backs as a lack of half backs, 244 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 3: and in game one he was absolutely outstanding set up 245 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 3: the first try to for Ben Hunting. Game two we 246 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 3: were outplaying Wally Lewis wouldn't made it. 247 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 8: You know. 248 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 6: In game two they went after him. They know he's 249 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 6: the man you've got to stop and they went after him. 250 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 6: Angus made his life a misery in games two running 251 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 6: at him all night because they knew that to get 252 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 6: at him, because he's so important for Queensland. 253 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 5: But he's to let that happen. Sat me walkable, bang 254 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 5: on the door, very very hard. 255 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: He's next in line. 256 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and look the Roosters go all the way this 257 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: year and he's. 258 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 6: Absolutely Do you think he's next in line? 259 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: You do? 260 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 6: I think they go with maybe Dan and Man potentially. 261 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 5: You got Monthster coming back. 262 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 6: Months is coming back. 263 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: Don't mean he's definitely we're going okay for talent showing, 264 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: get rid of him. 265 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: No, I was not. What about Harry Grant? A lot 266 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: of noise around him. He obviously you got that bad cut. 267 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: He's had the Sternham injury. Is he okay? Well, they're 268 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: saying he's okay. 269 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 6: He did a contact session this week, he's had the 270 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 6: week to sort of rest it, didn't play club footy, 271 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 6: and they're saying he's in pretty good Nick Harry, So 272 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 6: I don't think there's any issue with him. 273 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 4: I spoke to someone who was with the Queenslanders over 274 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 4: the weekend. They say he's flying and there was no 275 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 4: doubt whatsoever. And it's a little bit of a media game. 276 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 4: Let them think that. 277 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: You know, one thing I say about Harry knowing a 278 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 2: few of the boys at Melbourne, is his the fittest, 279 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 2: if not the fittest every year, every off season, so 280 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: missing a few weeks for him and with a needle 281 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: in the stern, it's fine now. One A friend of 282 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: the show, Benny Alai, says that Billy Slater is rattled 283 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: and that Madge is leaving Rent free in his. 284 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: Head at the moment. I made that up, but. 285 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: Look, there's no you know, I think there's pressure on 286 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: both states, and there is pressure on Billy. This is 287 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: the first time, but his coach was now six eight 288 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: State of Origins and won two series. I'd take that 289 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: as a record. And yes, he's under the pump because 290 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 3: of the way we got beaten. But I think you're right, 291 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: so the challenge like he did as a player. 292 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 4: Look, I think arguably he's the most impressive figure in 293 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 4: rugby league from anyone. He is such a cool dude, 294 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 4: such a class act. This guy handles pressure. 295 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 6: I don't think he's rattled. No, I think he's rattled 296 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 6: by the result, yes, and the way they played. I 297 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 6: don't think Madge worries. 298 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: He was shocked. I went up to him, I reckon. 299 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: I was with him probably twenty minutes after the game, 300 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: and we were all shocked, Like I was shocked with 301 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 3: that performance because it was so dominant, and I spent 302 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: some time with him. He's picked himself back up and 303 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 3: don't forget he is in the media and I think 304 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 3: he knows the game. 305 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 2: What about the bench of Queensland are we worried about it? 306 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: Ponger on the bench. 307 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: We know he's a superstar, but one less forward after 308 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 2: being dominated in the middle in the pack, is there 309 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: any concern around that? Because that that really does put 310 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: pressure on Billy too, because he's made that big call 311 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: and he's not afraid to make the big cause, which 312 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: is why I love Billy in the way that he coaches. 313 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: He backs himself, but he does put himself out there 314 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: here for this one because he could go wrong. 315 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely it can, but I believe that he's back there thirteen. 316 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: I think he's back our edges, you know, not to 317 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: play like that again, not to get bullied, not to 318 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: get run over and then kalm Ponger. 319 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: That's a luxury to have there. 320 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 3: So if it goes set for set and he comes 321 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: on with fifteen minutes to go in the first half, 322 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 3: I think we got the upper hand. But if you 323 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: lose a player and he's come on, he's got to 324 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: play sixty. 325 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: Five minutes in the middle. You South Wales, we'll have 326 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: the upper hand. Yeah, but we. 327 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 4: Questioned Billy with Cabo game one, that's right, we saw 328 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 4: and with pongerhim to blow a game open towards the 329 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: end of a half, probably more than any other player 330 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 4: in the NRL if he gets a sniff. 331 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 5: I think he's a great selection. 332 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: And a couple of years ago he defended in the 333 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: middle and in the middle. 334 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 6: I don't think it would matter who you have in 335 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 6: the bench unless the starting forward pack plays better than 336 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 6: it did in game two. It doesn't matter, no matter 337 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 6: if you're Dave or David Feed or came on the bench. 338 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 6: If the forward starting forward pack don't aim up and 339 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 6: play better than they did in origin to it won't 340 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 6: That's all right. 341 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: The Broncos on the brink, is it? What six losses 342 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: in a row? They need to win six out of 343 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: their next seven. I believe to make the finals. A 344 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: big four from Gracie from the Broncos, who were what 345 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: minutes away from winning a Grand Final last year, probably 346 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: should have What's going on there? 347 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Why are they going so bad? 348 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 6: It's been a disaster break to be honest, I mean 349 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 6: you can blame Origin and the players that are out. 350 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 6: But you know, you look at a team like Melbourne 351 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 6: and Penrith and they've managed to keep winning without those guys. 352 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 6: So I don't think that's it. I don't think that's 353 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 6: a fair excuse. I just it's I'm befuddled by breath. 354 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 6: I can't put what's going. 355 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: Wrong on there? 356 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 5: Can I pull you up on what you just said? 357 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 6: You'll pull me up. 358 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 5: Well, you're claiming they're as hard hit as the Broncos. 359 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 6: Well, you know, not by Origin, but they had no 360 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 6: months through, no PAP times this year as well. 361 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, but what I'm saying with Origin, they've only had 362 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 4: two players Grant and coach. Now Brisbane have had so 363 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 4: much of their salary cap Carrigan, Hass, Reese, Walsh and 364 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 4: Cobber Canterbury, don't you I'm starting to talk about the 365 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 4: integrity of this competition right when a team like Brisbane 366 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 4: gives up three million, arguably their salary cap for such 367 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 4: an extended period of the camp. 368 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 5: You look at Canterbury, how many have they been on 369 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 5: fire this period? But they can let me finish, they've 370 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 5: been on fire. They've got one. 371 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 6: Player he's had that much of their cap out. 372 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 4: I know they're saying that it is due to Origin, mate, 373 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 4: but everyone suffers injuries that can't affect integrity. So but 374 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 4: what I'm saying is Melbourne on fire because they've only 375 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 4: got two players this year. I'm saying Canterbury on fire 376 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 4: because they've only got one. 377 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: You the Dolphins. 378 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 5: The Dolphins had a really. 379 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: Big where are you going? He bus because I know 380 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: where you going? What did you see in new Cash 381 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: going bus? 382 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 4: I'm going to the fact that Origin takes away very 383 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 4: integrity of the NRL competition. Look, and it's got to stop, Gordon, 384 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 4: because you've got a fair cop. 385 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: I get it. 386 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 3: But the reason why they got to the Grand Final 387 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: last year was because of those Origin players. I think 388 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 3: last year, if I'm harsh on Brisbane, they probably over 389 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 3: achieved a little bit. At the beginning of the year, 390 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 3: no one had them playing in the Grand Final, maybe 391 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 3: getting into the top eight, maybe top four. And then 392 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 3: this year with the injuries and the young like Reswolfs 393 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: just turned twenty two during the week cobbos, So I 394 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 3: think that last year they overachieved. It might have they 395 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 3: might have got it, got a little bit ahead of themselves. 396 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 3: But now they're back. 397 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: To until the weekend. The quality of the competition's been 398 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: that's Danny. So the weekend was one thing, right and 399 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: it's fine go back to Melbourne. Though I don't necessarily 400 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 2: agree with you. Buzz I was already on this no 401 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: months to know. Papenhouse and Origin players out been injured 402 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 2: at times. They've had numerous injuries throughout that team and 403 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 2: their equality. They are a quality and look at Penrith, 404 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: No they haven't a clearing. They haven't a clearing in there, 405 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: and they go up to the Brisbane and beat and 406 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: beat Brisbane that they've had players coming. 407 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 4: Heard situations different. You say the quality has been good 408 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 4: for six or seven weeks. 409 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 5: I disagree. You saw this weekend. 410 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 4: There were blowouts every week when they played the following weekend, 411 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 4: any round previous one. 412 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: So I said that, I just said that. 413 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: Okay for me being a Titans fan, I really enjoyed 414 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 3: watching them beat Paramatta, right, that's their third winning the 415 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 3: row and I was there and the Dragons fans would 416 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 3: have walked out the lighted that they've gone there and 417 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,479 Speaker 3: as a rivalry they played Grand finals and they got 418 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 3: the victory. 419 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: I don't think there was you said there was. 420 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 4: Just the Tigers man in new Castle was a blowout. 421 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 4: And you know why Newcastle without three Origin players three 422 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 4: for the first time this year. 423 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: Maybe they could have played with the Origin players in 424 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 3: the school line might have been the same. 425 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, not as many people watch the rugby league win 426 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: origins on because it's true, so that you do have 427 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: a point there. What are you saying stand alone. 428 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 4: Or what well, I'm saying we've got a jam it 429 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 4: into a three four week period midyear. Hold the club 430 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 4: for the up put a trans Tasman Samaha Tongua New 431 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 4: Zealand on put a women's State of Origin series on 432 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 4: which just rates unbelievably. Well, we just have there's no 433 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: club football, so we're given Gramington. 434 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 6: The network side affects the integery of the competition. But 435 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 6: when in the last twenty years has the best team 436 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 6: not won. 437 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 4: The comp Maybe I haven't got the premiership never just 438 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 4: in front of me the. 439 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 6: Best team at the end of the season, if you 440 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 6: gave me, go through it. 441 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: But the best teams won the. 442 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 3: Comp buzz the best team wins and you know what 443 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: the date of Oregon and I know you make some 444 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: valid points. 445 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 5: And the spot in the EP That's what I'm saying. 446 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 6: I don't think I don't think it's too simplistic. Spot 447 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 6: it's too simplistic to blame Origin. 448 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 5: The young kids that analyze it better. 449 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 6: I'm saying there's more than Origin that's affected them. 450 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: Just Origin. With the right hook there. 451 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 6: They tell me, well, I think there's deeper issues in Origin. 452 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: You've got to have you've got to have a stronger shell, 453 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: You've got to have a stronger a base with a 454 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: club like clubs can do it. They can get through 455 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 2: with any play. It's the next man up mentality. That's 456 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 2: the difference between being an elite team and not being 457 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: an elite team. 458 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: Those elite teams can't get through it with Origin. 459 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: Brisbane's injuries have heard them all this year. I think 460 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 3: Payne has miss games. There's no Fleggler right and then 461 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 3: Farmers they were massive loss. Adam Adam Reynolds hasn't played 462 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: as thes been out like he was. I think he 463 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: was rattle coming back from Vegas. Maybe he hasn't found 464 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 3: the form. You knows. Bolsh has been targeted. Gobbo. They 465 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 3: they have not had their seventeen weeks. The sides that 466 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 3: are up the top have pretty much except for Melbourne. 467 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: Melbourne. 468 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 3: Melbourne are their own beast, but most of them have 469 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 3: had their seventeen. 470 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 4: Edyal I know for fact that they are looking at 471 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: scheduling right now and we'll end up some options will 472 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 4: go to the Commission at the end of the year. 473 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: Lastly, do you think it will happen stand alone? Do 474 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: you think the NRL behind that is their noise? 475 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: Is it? 476 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 4: I think there'll be a change in some capacity. It'll 477 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 4: either be standalone Origin. I think we'll look at Monday 478 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 4: Origin now. Two weeks ago, well three weeks ago, players 479 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: could a lot of players couldn't back up about twenty 480 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 4: because it was they played the Wednesday night, you played Monday. 481 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: They've got a week to recover it. Devastated. 482 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 2: Benji Marshall has apologized to Tigers fans after going down 483 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 2: to the Sharks fifty eight points to six, as the 484 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: battle club looks set to claim its third Wooden spoon 485 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 2: in a row. 486 00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: Kind of explain what that to. 487 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 9: It's gonna apologize to our fans. When you take the field, 488 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 9: you got to choose the right attitude and tonight they 489 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 9: ran harder and tackled way harder than us, and that 490 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 9: showed on school board. We haven't seen that all year. 491 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 9: It's the first time I've seeing no one on our 492 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 9: team that could probably say they play good. 493 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: You're not very good. This result fifty two point loss. 494 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: Benji, you did this story today, buzz struggling to sleep. 495 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: That's most coaches after loss like that, putting in the hours. 496 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: What are you hearing with Benjie? What's going on there 497 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 2: at the West time? Is obviously a tough time for 498 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: him in the club. 499 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 4: Well only one who suggested or questioned his work ethic. Look, 500 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 4: I rang him yesterday morning just to check ourage going, 501 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 4: and it was a really interesting conversation. There was his 502 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 4: kids making noise in the background, he was making the 503 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 4: pancakes for Brecky, and he was just being a dad. 504 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 5: The previous night he got on for. 505 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 4: Crnala at midnight. He turned his tape on two and 506 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 4: a half three hours, making notes stop, start, pause, He 507 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 4: jumps into bed, doesn't get three hours sleep, and then 508 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 4: he favorite concord for a review with the players. So, look, 509 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 4: I think we can put them. Although we went to 510 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 4: Feji and I still disagree with that. I think we 511 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 4: can say he's putting in the hard yards and I 512 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 4: think there's much bigger issues there. 513 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt he's putting in the 514 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 2: hard yards. That was Bulldog said that at the start 515 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: of the year. It was different in terms of work. 516 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 2: I think I don't think he can question he's working anything, 517 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 2: especially now he's in there. 518 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: He's in the furnace. But he bends out of his 519 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: depth here. Do we think it's yeah? 520 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 9: Is he? 521 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just putting it out there. 522 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 3: I don't know his death, but I think if you 523 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 3: had more experience and you've lost like this, and you 524 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 3: had more answers and you knew how to get yourself 525 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 3: out of it, being a rookie player getting beaten like that, 526 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 3: you question yourself. I could only I could only imagine 527 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 3: as a coach, you know, because you don't know all 528 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: the answers and you feel like you don't have them. 529 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think one thing in his favor 530 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 6: is that Shane Richardson's a really strong supporter of him, 531 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 6: and I think one of the things rich I will 532 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 6: there was sort of strengthen the support around him. I 533 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 6: think that's a goal of richards Now. It's hard to 534 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 6: do that mid season. I think that's something something they'll 535 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 6: do in the off season. I think there'll be some 536 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 6: changes around him, and I think he'll want to give 537 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 6: him more support. But one are the changes well, I 538 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 6: think he's looking at everything in the football department, obviously 539 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 6: the playing staff. They've got a lot of cash up. 540 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 6: This leave Stefano is going to have an impact on 541 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 6: how much money they do have. 542 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 8: Ye. 543 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 4: No, Look, Benji had an opportunity last year before rich 544 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: O came. 545 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 5: Justin Pasco was still in charge and they had. 546 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 4: The opportunity to get Justin Holbrook before Holbrook went to 547 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: the Roosters, and he's doing an outstanding job with Trent Robinson. 548 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 5: Benji not that back Benji. 549 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 4: I wanted the young staff he was going to be 550 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 4: comfortable in, which is Robbie Farrett and John Morris what 551 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 4: I'm hearing now and I'm sure you have heard. As 552 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 4: part of these changes and freshen up at the end 553 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 4: of the season. I'm not too sure Robbie Farrett will 554 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: be there next year his off contract and this isn't 555 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: a sort of sacking. I think he's got other things 556 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 4: in his life he wants to do. He's got a 557 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 4: business and. 558 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 6: He's got to Robbie ever really wanted to be a coach? 559 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 6: Want to be a coach? What do you mean didn't 560 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 6: want to be? I think he was feeling it out right. 561 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 6: I think he was what he wanted to do. 562 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: There going Okay, we're happy to take Benjon, We're happy 563 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: to be to bring Robbie. 564 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: He's just feeling it out. You know what. Let's he's doing. 565 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 6: It's a pretty well credential guy. It's not as if 566 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 6: you bring some guy off the street. I mean, this 567 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 6: is little tight. 568 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: But football, you need to want to coach. Well. 569 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 6: I think he was in the process of trying to 570 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 6: work out whether. 571 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: That's what he wanted to do. The problem was like 572 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: the fans, they must be sick in this, Like I sit. 573 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: Here and we talk about it for how many years now? 574 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 2: And their fans get the ships with us because we 575 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 2: talk about it. Well some do, but we have to. 576 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: We don't even know. 577 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: It's like we have to because here we are again 578 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: talking about is he the right coach? Have they made 579 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 2: the right decisions? What have they got wrong with their roster? 580 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: Who's going to be the coaching staff next year? 581 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 5: We do this every bloody. 582 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: This is why why that we used to blame the 583 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: old leadership and Lee had your penalis and now all 584 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: of a sudden that they're gone, but the problem is 585 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 2: still there again. 586 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: So its ownership for just. 587 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: Because you drive a formula one day, men, you can 588 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 3: fix it, right, So so we've got it asked about. 589 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 3: Just because you sit there and you've played footy doesn't 590 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,479 Speaker 3: mean you can coach. If you don't get someone that's coached, 591 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 3: they can't coach. You don't sign people on name, you 592 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: sign them because they can coach. And that's not a 593 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 3: knock on any that's that's just what I'll do if 594 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 3: I'm in the club. The blokes had to coach to 595 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 3: become a coach, So what's rich are you going to 596 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 3: do that? The other leadership didn't do well obviously as well. 597 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 3: I said, he's going to strengthen the support around Benji. 598 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: That's a priority. 599 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 6: But the other leadership, well probably they obviously didn't do 600 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 6: a real good job of it, would you, right, And 601 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 6: let's remember this has all happened what twelve months in advance. 602 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 6: Benji wasn't supposed to be the head coaches here in Italy. 603 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 6: It was only the tim left earlier that this happened. 604 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 6: And that's the same with Robbie. Robbie was supposed to 605 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 6: be in the system of Benji this year. 606 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm not questioning it either Benji or it's not them. 607 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: It's just a game in jail, you guys know. 608 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 4: Benji's problem is that his apprenticeship and the good coaches 609 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 4: have been with Bennett, they've been with Robbo, or they've 610 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 4: been with Craig Bellamy. Now Benji had one year under 611 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 4: Tim Sheen, she'd been out of the comp for twelve 612 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 4: years in England when he came back. 613 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 5: That's not a good apprentic. 614 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: That's what it was important. 615 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 6: He had really strong, experienced people around him, and I 616 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 6: think I'm sure in hindsight of Benji was to reflect 617 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 6: on that now, and that's no disrespect to Robbie, but 618 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 6: he would probably have strongness and maybe add someone like 619 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 6: Dimitrio come in. 620 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: Need some experience. 621 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: But John Moros had that experience too, and I wasn't 622 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: having to crack it Robbie. I believe Robbie would have 623 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 2: wanted to coach. I can't for a second believe it. 624 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: Oh he wasn't sure because he just wouldn't do it. 625 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: That's my opinion anyway, all right, stick around journal Is. 626 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: The battle is on an our legends taken on any 627 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 2: Conda's Fish of Origin catch all the action at any 628 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 2: kinda stores dot com slash fish of Origin
