1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to aner all three sixty re league

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: from every Angle, brought to you by NIV. Joining me

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: again James Graham, Gordon Tallis and Buzz Rothfield. It was

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: as magic round was magic cool. But there has been

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: breaking news this afternoon. Eels coach Brad Arthur has been

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: sacked effective immediately. Buzz, you've got all the information. You've

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: spoken to the Paramatta CEO. Talk us through the events

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: and how it all unfolded.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: You know, I got off the fund of Jim Sarantinus

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: about half an hour ago. So at four o'clock this

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: afternoon at their Callibrill headquarters, Brad Arthur was called into

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: a meeting with Jim Sarentinos Sarentinos and Shawn mackelduff the chairman,

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: and he was informed straight off the bat that his

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: contract has been terminated, effective immediately, that Trent Barrett will

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: step in as an interim head coach. They then rang

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: the senior playing group, I presume the Guthersons, the moses As,

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: the Parlows, etc.

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: Explained their decision.

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: Then the rest of the top thirty then sent a

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: text message out. The interesting part of this story was

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: they've told me they made the decision that they were

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: going to finish up with Brad on May one. So

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: after the Darwin Debarcle where they're flogged by the Dolphins,

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: they were then touched up by Manlet brook Valeval. After

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: that game, the board made a decision that Brad Arthur

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: would finish up this year. The big story is that

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: for the last three weeks, privately, secretly, whatever you want

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: to say, they have been talking to Wayne Bennett and

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: trying to wrestle him away from South Sydney to become

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: head coach of the Earls next year.

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: So three weeks now, while this has all been going

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: on secretly, they've been.

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: Meeting with Wayne Burnett and they've been trying.

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: As you said, he has his clear favorite to go

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: to South Sydney. Susidney think that they've got him. Firstly,

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: have Souse signed Wayne? They haven't signed you, have they now?

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: Again, before coming on the show, I spoke to Blake solely,

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: the CEO, and I've been talking to him all day

39
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: about this rumor that Paramatta had come in and he

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: was a little bit nervous. But in the last phone

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: call I had he declared to me that Wayne Bennett

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: is committed to the South Sydney Rabbidos will sign a

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: contract in the next twenty four hours and it will

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: be announced via a press releader.

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: So Paramatta, I think have missed out.

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: You think they missed David A Feeder was committed to

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: the Rusters last week too, So this is the door

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: is opening.

49
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 4: Wayne does have a little bit of form in this situation,

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 4: right He had a contract a camera back in nineteen

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: eighty seven. He went to Brisbane right then he promised

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: Dragon's he was going back. He had a contract at

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: Newcastle then he promised me.

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: I think there's a bit and I think.

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: Everybody's allowed to do what they want to do, and

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: Wayne can, but I don't reckon the deal's done until

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: he signs.

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 5: Well, it raises the immediate question South Sydney had in

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: in Brisbone for much current in the very presence of

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 5: Wayne Bennett, where you could hand the contract and take

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: that physically same copy of the contract home to South

62
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 5: Sydney and announced to your members and fans that've secured

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: his services. So, Jim, what difference is twenty four hours

64
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 5: going to me?

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 2: I would think that Wayne Bennett do over three years

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 2: is probably worth about three point six million, about one

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: point two million, And no man would sign a contract

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: that lucrative that big without at least bouncing it off

69
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: his lawyer.

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: He's accountant, and he's a seventy five year old man

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: that's done it all of his life.

72
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 6: He's not a twenty year old kid.

73
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Well, you've got to get all these things checked out.

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: Of course you do.

75
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: And I've got that look and I'll say it isn't it.

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: I got no doubt he's going to say out. I

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: understand you guys want to talk about his history and.

78
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: Walking out on Newcastle the camp.

79
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: Makes you so confident just speaking to Blake sly Well,

80
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: speaking to the radiat reading his quotes.

81
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 5: Well, will twenty four what difference is twenty four hours

82
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: going to make?

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: Well, you know, as I said Jim, he's probably got

84
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: some curve financial people he needs to bounce it off. Interesting,

85
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't have a manager, I know. Is he is

86
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: George Mandas in the past or Sammy. He's done, He's

87
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: done all this himself.

88
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 6: But well, also, buzz.

89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 5: I want to I want to believe you, and I

90
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 5: think I don't. I'm not saying that you're lying or

91
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 5: anything like that, but I think with today's announcement. So

92
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 5: a couple of things really, and I let me here.

93
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: So the fact that Paramatta have admitted the fact that

94
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 5: they've been talking to Wayne three weeks and they made

95
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 5: the call to move move Brad Arthur on on the

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 5: first of May, I believe, So why announce it today?

97
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 6: So in an.

98
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 5: Ideal situation today, well, okay, why announce it today? Why

99
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: not tomorrow after you've addressed the playing group in person.

100
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: I think they've got an impatient and understandably impatient fan base.

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 7: But what.

102
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: Was another debacle perform yesterday?

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 7: That was what I think?

104
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: What Jimmy I agree with Jimmy here.

105
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: So what Jimmy's saying and I believe, is that they've

106
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: made the call, so they don't disrespect Brad.

107
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: Arthur but then just respect him for three weeks.

108
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: They are genuinely saying they're making a play at Wayne

109
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: now that they were hiding it for three weeks.

110
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: And admit that now, excuse me.

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: I did speak to Jim Sarantinous in detail about this,

112
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: and he all but conceded that there were no chance

113
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: that Jim Sarantinus believes now that he's committed to say us.

114
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 5: But then, okay, why if Paramatta have been working at

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: this for three weeks, right, nobody nobody.

116
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 6: Had this confirmed.

117
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 5: It's been rumored and we're all thinking connect the dots,

118
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 5: but nobody's confirmed this. Why have Paramatta confirmed that rumor

119
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: when they've lost this deal apparently? Why would they confirm

120
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 5: that they've lost I think.

121
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: When you do something as significant as a coach sacking,

122
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: you're aware that there's a very hungry media pack in

123
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: this city and in Queensland and they would dig and

124
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: dig and the Bennett story would have come out anyway.

125
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: So actually I applaud them for being transparent and no,

126
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: I do OK.

127
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 6: Up with this.

128
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: If you're a coach South Sydney sitting here, why not

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 4: get the same money wherever it is? And it's probably

130
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 4: not about money now with Wayne, it's probably about winning

131
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 4: another camp and Paramatter is sitting here.

132
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 6: Who would you go a coach? Take the emotion.

133
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 7: Take it.

134
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: I want to put myself in Wayne Bennett's position in

135
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: that the emotional attachment he has with a lot of

136
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: the boys there is what means is more than Paramatter.

137
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: He's not tight with guth how he's not tight with Noses,

138
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: but he's tight with Latreill Cody.

139
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: He wasn't tight with the Dolphins players, but he gets

140
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: them to win. It's not about being tight. The tightest

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 4: players he were with.

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: Well, yes, he was quoted over the weekend talking about

143
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: the appeal of going back to Souse.

144
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: I am convinced.

145
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 6: You guys do it all you want. I just don't.

146
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 5: I don't understand paramatter's openness in this situation that they

147
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: look to squash if it came out in two or

148
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 5: three weeks time, that's fault those.

149
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 6: Guys and Wayne. Wayne's not going to say sorry, house,

150
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 6: I haven't been shopping.

151
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: They would. You don't understand, just say you applaud it

152
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: that they've I don't believe this decision on May one.

153
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: They made it so many weeks ago, and.

154
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: Exactly that that he was talking to Paramount and Wayne

155
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: was talking to Paramount.

156
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: I asked Blake Sally as I said, I spoke to

157
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: him earlier in the afternoon he was in a meeting

158
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: and we're texting.

159
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: And I got yeah, he knew, he knew, and I

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: got to tell you. I put it this way.

161
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: He didn't actually say you, but there was a feeling

162
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: of nervousness around his text messages that now because he

163
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: doesn't have this.

164
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 6: Nah, look does he want me to forage way?

165
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: The important thing on this payout too.

166
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 2: We all hear of stories. Oh god, why'd they sign

167
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: him so long? It's now an eight month payout one

168
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: and a half million.

169
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: It's not.

170
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: It's about a seven hundred thousand dollars payout, Like a

171
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: lot of coaches these days, Jason Demitrio at the Rabbids,

172
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: there's clauses kpies in his contract.

173
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: But what I'm trying to get my head around, Brad

174
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: Arthur is a very good coach, right. I think in

175
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: the last five years it was finals, finals, finals, grand Final.

176
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: When he's got the roster, right, he doesn't have injuries

177
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 4: like most clubs. I reckon they got beaten by Pan

178
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: with the McKay in the semi final where they are

179
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 4: a massive chance of winning.

180
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: Right.

181
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: You don't sack someone like Brad Arthur if you don't

182
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 4: have someone better coming to your club, especially went to

183
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: a powerful club like Paramatter. We all know what they're like,

184
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: we know what their fan base is like. They haven't

185
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 4: won since ninety and eighty six. They're hungry for six.

186
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: That's interesting thing I hear it is eleven seasons, five

187
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: finals campaigns in that finals winter SETI thirty three percent,

188
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: only one Grand final and obviously a poor start to

189
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: this year was enough to see him sacked in you're right, Gordy,

190
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: this is.

191
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: What was he hard done by Brad? Or was his

192
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 3: the right call?

193
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: I think he's a little bit hard done by the

194
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: loser half back and we all watch it. We watched

195
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: teams that other than Penwyth and Cleary like they've got

196
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 4: this unbelievable record, but most teams, when you got someone

197
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 4: as dominant around the ball as Mitchell moses they would

198
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 4: touch at sixty seventy times, they do struggle to win

199
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 4: without anymore.

200
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 6: I think it is a bit hard on Brad Arthur.

201
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: I think I actually think Brad Arthur has done a

202
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: really good job with that rock.

203
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 5: He should have been be very proud of his achievements

204
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 5: there at paramount for eleven seasons for where they were

205
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 5: when he took over, to get them consistently.

206
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 6: In and around the finals to make that grun final.

207
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: But that that season in twenty twenty two when he

208
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 5: did make the grund final, he was under pressure.

209
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 6: To keep his job moving forward.

210
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: I think that Grand Final appearance brought in some time

211
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 5: they would disappointed last season and it's been a case

212
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 5: of the scene again and you're.

213
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Talking about Moses and Guffer being crooked now and you

214
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: can look back to the private Dylan Brown and that stupidity.

215
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: Last year and it was vital.

216
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: This is a decision made from midway through last year,

217
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: like Demetrio, and into what's happened this year. And there

218
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: was a view on the Paramatta board as much as

219
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: Brad's got a good record, that he probably squeezed everything

220
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: he could out of their current roster.

221
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: And it's available.

222
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, he's a good man, you guys.

223
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: It's uppill to swallow for him today and it's probably

224
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: caught him off guard. But anyone who knows Brad has

225
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: met Brad, has dealt with him, and he's a man's man.

226
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: He's a great guy, an awesome family man. I feel

227
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: for him today, I really do. It's a tough call

228
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: on him and obviously on his family, but I can

229
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: also understand why the call was made to of I've

230
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: been honest, you know, but you know, so you can

231
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: go places the Brad on your career at the Paramount

232
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: of Eels, we'll get back now to who are the candidates?

233
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: And this is what why I think Wayne stands out

234
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: to us here and that's why they're making a big

235
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: play for Wayne is because who are the candidates and

236
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: who could possibly coach paramount?

237
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: And now that that Brady's gone.

238
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: Other premiership went and coaches Wayne Bennett Manage McGuire. Is

239
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: that it is that it sitting out there?

240
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is unless you do what the New Zealand

241
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: Warriors did and what the Canterbury Bulldogs did.

242
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 3: Who is the next?

243
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 6: Who is the next Jason.

244
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: Rolls, Blake Green Newcastle Knights had brian assistant, has got

245
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: a fan club in the game and his name's been

246
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: mentioned this afternoon. Jason ralps than the same old guys,

247
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 2: Dean Young.

248
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 4: Young just list last week.

249
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: You've got Justin Hulbrook who's doing a terrific job as

250
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: an assistant at the Roosters. I don't know where they go.

251
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: This is all just speculation, the buzz.

252
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: You get rid of Brad and we just spoke about

253
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: Brad right, a great coach but just couldn't get them

254
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: that premiership. So if you get again, we talk about

255
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: every week, if you're going to get rid of a

256
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: coach you want to bring a better coach in. So

257
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, all those guys you mentioned are really untested

258
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: or have been tested and have failed.

259
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: No, no, no disrespect, but you know, well.

260
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: Blake, Jason Ryles and Deane Young haven't failed at all

261
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: and they're sort of the.

262
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 6: Failed.

263
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: No, they are untested. But unless we give these younger people.

264
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,119
Speaker 1: A paramot, are willing to get rid of an experienced

265
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: coach for have you spoken to them about that?

266
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: Well, for a rookie coach.

267
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: I touched on it and the quote from Jim Sarantinos

268
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 2: quote unquote us we will search the rugby league universe

269
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: for the right head coach for the paramos.

270
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: Did he say that he was out of the race

271
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: for Wayne.

272
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: He indicated to me that he was of the opinion

273
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: that Wayne had committed to the Rabbit.

274
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: So it was just an opinion.

275
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: He did not say, and I've got to say this,

276
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: he did not say that he won't ring and begin

277
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning and say.

278
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: But he had a so he's still hopeful.

279
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: I think he's resigned to him going to say out.

280
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: That's my view and I'll stick there's eleven hour bid.

281
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 6: It's a little bit more.

282
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: Well, look, they've had a lot of beds, they've been

283
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: talking for three weeks. They flew up there and you

284
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: know the chairman end, so you had to make Wayne

285
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: face to face.

286
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 5: It seems so strange that they've been so honest about

287
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 5: a failure to land this candidate when.

288
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 6: It was unnecessary.

289
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 5: I think what I was going to say, let's let's

290
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 5: put Wayne to one side because we've spoken about it.

291
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 5: I think it's interesting to use the quote about they're

292
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: going to searge the coaching universe. So often in rugby

293
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 5: league we play everyone plays mister mister Nisko right, and

294
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 5: we look at who's currently off contract or out of

295
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: a job. Is there a possibility that a big club

296
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 5: like Paramount to go after a current coach within a job.

297
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 7: It happened.

298
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 5: It very seldom happens within our game, But I'm looking

299
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 5: at big coaches in jobs Todler Canterbury, or even Andrew Webster,

300
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: who's doing a fantastic job over at the Warriors. Is

301
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 5: it a play to maybe is there a chance that

302
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 5: they could make a plate to him to bring him

303
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 5: back to Western Sydney.

304
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: Look, the last coach I can recall who was actually

305
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: under contract and jumped and he was in a bit

306
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: of strive for it for a birching contract. Was des

307
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: Azler jumping across the Canterbur from Manly.

308
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: All that it happens? Oh yeah, it did happen.

309
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: Todd Greenberg was the CEO at Canterbur at the time

310
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: and he was under investigation for a while for trying

311
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: to enticree someone to.

312
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: Break a contract.

313
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: Look, as I said, I don't know where they're going

314
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: to go. Why did they come out and talk about

315
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: Wayne Bennett. I wrote a column after that game debarcling Darwin.

316
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: When they considered forty points and suggested Seawan maclduff, their

317
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: chairman was in denial. The board not recognized there was

318
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: a problem. They were going to miss Wayne or opportunities

319
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: to go that way. I think what they've done today

320
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: is showed their sponsors and their fans that they have

321
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: had a whack the best in the business, and they're

322
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: very serious about it. That's the only positive I could

323
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: get out.

324
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: I think they're from the kitchen sink at him as

325
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: we speak. In my opinion, I think it's not over.

326
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: I think they are making a last ditch effort. That's

327
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: why they've made the call today, not to disrespect Brad.

328
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 7: He's done.

329
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: They're going to try and secure Wayne, and see how

330
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: so nervous about it, and they.

331
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: Should be a big call. I think will keep I

332
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: think Sous will keep you.

333
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 5: But honestly, evidence is what it is because it doesn't

334
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 5: stuck all hoo many.

335
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: I spoke to a given up all but no, he

336
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: hadn't gone up. He had he didn't say that he

337
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: wasn't going.

338
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: I didn't know you were listening to the phone call.

339
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 7: Spots outside, Jim. You know Wayne well Gordon.

340
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: Look, I think I said it three weeks ago, maybe

341
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: in the show the club. But Wayne's paramatter looking at Wayne, Noel,

342
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: Wayne not what it is. I know his ego, I

343
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 4: know how it likes to be strike and I think

344
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: Souse he's been there.

345
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,359
Speaker 6: I reckon he's done that. I reckon paramatter is his club.

346
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 7: But he won't go there.

347
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: I'm telling you to go to Souse. He loves that club.

348
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: I didn't quite get No, I don't speak to Way.

349
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: So how do you know that that that he is

350
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: not sitting there going paramatter?

351
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: Just from various people, I've got that it's done at Souse,

352
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: and you're one of the best in the business, the same.

353
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: He's usually on the money. We played this back on Monday.

354
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: I'm hearing the same thing.

355
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: But like Jimmy and like Gordy, I sit here and

356
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: you're watching it right here.

357
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: Because I didn't realize Brad Arthur was going to get sacked.

358
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 4: Looking at I think some of the players need to

359
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: have a really good look at themselves and be a

360
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: bit more accountable in the Paramatta jersey watching what they

361
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: tossed up yesterday, and I do feel sorry for bad

362
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 4: So I was shocked. And then now I just look

363
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: at Wayne and go a hold on, the big Father hasn't.

364
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 6: Signed, and he's got and he's got form.

365
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 3: At doing this.

366
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 6: That's all I'm looking at. The form.

367
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: So when he left Cambra, the Broncos launching of the competition,

368
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: they had the blessing of the Raiders, Mac and Tidy

369
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: go and do the job.

370
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 6: And then Broncos, sorry Broncos. The roosters, well that.

371
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: Was a different story.

372
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 6: And then I'm just talking about I'm just talking about fact.

373
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 6: Now I've got a great relationship.

374
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: You did have a great relation I do have a

375
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: great one that doesn't talk to me, not even.

376
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: When I say, I don't talk to him.

377
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: You know why I don't.

378
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 2: Because people like Peter Bedell and Brent rud who broke

379
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: the store on the Telegraph website, have a better relationship.

380
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: So I don't waste for whatever it cost to bring in.

381
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: But we've got to cover good work. You eat to

Speaker 3: It was great.

433
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: And I think there's only one broad over the weekend too,

434
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: so you could not go and make it up with two.

Speaker 2: You know it started six o'clock Friday night, that Canterbury

439
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: Raiders game, right, so.

440
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 6: That's Stanley, you know.

441
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: And the spirit that the Raiders were gone at eleven

442
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: left and that was a That was the fly the

443
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: whole weekend power.

444
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 6: It was fantastic.

445
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: And then the game I'm thinking, oh, well the Warriors

446
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: are playing the Panthers and we know what juggernaut Panthers

447
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: are and that was my favorite game.

448
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 6: And then they hear the crowd.

449
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 4: And sorry Penrithans, they were It was the loudest noise

450
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: of the weekend. To a picky from the sideline scored

451
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: the try kicked that this is him here?

452
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 6: What a player like?

453
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: They have no Roger, no Tohu Harris, no Sean Johnson,

454
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 4: basically no Wed Egan as well. They were the Warriors

455
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: fans in Brisbane were absolutely outstanding, just snucking.

456
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 7: That's a big.

457
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 6: Moment for that young kid.

458
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 5: What what what what a play for him to see

459
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 5: all that victory.

460
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: He came up with the match winning try and in

461
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: the end that goal was. It was a big moment

462
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: for him and the Warriors and for a number of teams.

463
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't so good for Cameron Munster who went down

464
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: with a green injury. Unfortunately for him, he's in some

465
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: trouble now for Origin and the rest of the season.

466
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 4: Worried great as what you were last week when you're

467
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 4: talking about the new South Wales injuries.

468
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: I still stand.

469
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is with coinsaying no disrespect to Cameron

470
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: months with all the Ezra man can pop in or

471
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 2: Tom did and can pop in, so they've got extraordinary, extraordinary.

472
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: Depth, but they will miss Monster.

473
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: Say with Cameron, he was actually uppose to him last

474
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: week and he's a chance of pulling out of Origin

475
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: last week because he was really struggling with it. He

476
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: was he's been playing severe pain every every game. I've

477
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: been surprised with how well he's play considering.

478
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 6: He found out what the injury is because groin.

479
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 3: It's a hip injury that affects the groins, and then.

480
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: It's got worse on the weekend to a point where

481
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: he just needs to have time off and look after

482
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: his body and they'll try and get him right for

483
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: the finals. He'll see that out and you'llknee surgery most

484
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: likely about the.

485
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: End of the year.

486
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: And I know what God he's talking about.

487
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: There's no paying of Brimpson, Gilbert, Flegler, Tina, but their favorites.

488
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: Are trying to the back one of the dogs.

489
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 6: Now. Cameron Munster is so important to our side.

490
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 4: It's like last week there was a few tears on

491
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: the table when Cleary was out and there's.

492
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: No like he's he is because of those players.

493
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: Six well, I think Billy's got like I think deed

494
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 4: Deeden's been there before and he's really solid and you

495
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 4: saw his chase against Cobbo and that's an origin type

496
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 4: of play. And then you got someone like Ezra Man

497
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 4: that was in the green last year. I'd probably go

498
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: didn't because he's been there, just just because he's been

499
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 4: there before.

500
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 6: But Ezra, look, I think it's.

501
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: A You talked to Cherry Evans side chance at five eight,

502
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 4: he could be, but then you've got two similar players

503
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 4: with Cherry Evans and him.

504
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: I think Deeden's a certainty in that he was drafted

505
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: into the squad last year, and you talked about they

506
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: never give up coup tackling good.

507
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: Queen's like a pick and stick, right, So if didn't,

508
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: he got his shot when Munster was and he and

509
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: they won, and.

510
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 6: That's why they did think that.

511
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: That's why I'm leaning there, but it's not by much

512
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 4: because I think Ezra Man, his combination with the Broncos

513
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 4: Christ would be important.

514
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: And Billy's not afraid to make big calls either. He did,

515
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: so no one really knows. He may have a game

516
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: plan that suits Ezra Man, Billy like, he's very specific

517
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: with the way that he wants to play, depends on

518
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: the players that he picks around him, so interesting to

519
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: see how it does play out. And then but Deeden's

520
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: been eighteenth man in the last couple of years, so

521
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: he's been around the group, which as why you're.

522
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 6: Probably lean to him a little bit more Queens than

523
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 6: still favorites. Cording were never favorites, mate, I think you are.

524
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's get to the Blues and one player who

525
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: definitely put his hand up, Nico Hines. It was the

526
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: litmus test for the Kronella Sharks, and boy did he deliver.

527
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 3: What a performance it was by the Sharks.

528
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: They definitely announced themselves on the big stage as Premiership contenders.

529
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 6: But this guy right here played in that position.

530
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 3: He's the favorite.

531
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't think there should be a debate over the

532
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: heart back position anymore. And what Nick has done this

533
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: year to see that football side out outside of the

534
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: Melbourne game to the top of the ladder. He's such

535
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 2: a more confident player now, Fitz, He's done great one

536
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: on one work with him. I just think he's nearly

537
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: first peaked.

538
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 6: I'm with your balls.

539
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 5: The performance on the weekend, the very first set of

540
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 5: the game, he gets outside inside kick pressure and some

541
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 5: would perceive that as high risk, but it's not. It's

542
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 5: just a pass to a person in space. They go

543
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 5: on through the hands, interchange of passing kick from Raimion

544
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 5: and they score. That is all class and I like

545
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 5: his his mindset as well. He made a mistake he

546
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 5: kicked the ball out on the four, didn't FaZe him

547
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 5: going straight after.

548
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 4: And all good ball players play short was his short ballplayer.

549
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 4: That's that's what you want, that's what works in.

550
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: That's a big thing the Cronella Club and I hope

551
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: you know there were.

552
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 6: Yare he is.

553
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: He's a he's huge in the show and he's a

554
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: great role model at that club. Him up on the wall.

555
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: No, I don't, I don't.

556
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 6: It's a huge opportunity to as well.

557
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 5: No, I don't with what he went through last year

558
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: where he's thrown on in the center position, out position, his.

559
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 3: Head, defenses outstanding, he.

560
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 5: Saw it's nothing wrong with Chuck that personally, didn't he

561
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 5: I think given the opportunity he could go into amazing.

562
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: He deserves a Jimmy and he was great at the weekend.

563
