Speaker 1: Not going to be critical of the Locky Galvin signing
Speaker 1: because I think it was the right play. I would
Speaker 1: still be starting read money at night though. The worst
Speaker 1: thing that happened for Cannonry was the fact that Lockie
Speaker 1: Gavin was available mid year. If you said to me,
Speaker 1: why can't Penrith win the comp for mine? It's the
Speaker 1: form of Dylanna.
Speaker 2: It's the fittest blood just spent in rugby league. It
Speaker 2: has been for a long time.
Speaker 3: Looks Sharks brosters. I think this will be an aerial
Speaker 3: assault of the wingers.
Speaker 2: We as might decide this game. I think how often
Speaker 2: you say that.
Speaker 3: There's coaching tension between Magine Ricky. What's the storyline At
Speaker 3: the end of the day.
Speaker 4: It's going to be all the fullbacks, I think.
Speaker 3: Welcome to a very special finals edition of The Code
Speaker 3: NRL Show with Brent Reid, Reedy and Michael Carranas. Let's
Speaker 3: rip into it, Boys, Boys, Big Story Yesterday broken by
Speaker 3: Mickey Carrianas. Read Marny acts from the Bulldogs side to
Speaker 3: face the Melbourne storm down at Amy Park. Read Man
Speaker 3: Big Story Marney out Toby Sexton in Yeah.
Speaker 1: Caught me by surprise, definitely when you started to filter
Speaker 1: through around that selection, Like not so much the fact
Speaker 1: that Red Money's out of the seventeen, right, because for mine,
Speaker 1: read Money either starts or he doesn't play, So I
Speaker 1: can understand that. I just think it's a lot of
Speaker 1: change at the Bulldogs in a short period when you know,
Speaker 1: at this time of most clubs are looking for for stability, right,
Speaker 1: So like, I'm not going to be critical of the
Speaker 1: Lucky Galvin signing because I think it was the right play, right,
Speaker 1: I would still be starting read Money at nine though,
Speaker 1: I just think he's defensively a little bit better by
Speaker 1: Bailey's going to be a really good player, right, But
Speaker 1: I don't think Bailey's got the legs at the moment
Speaker 1: to play eighty minutes at the intensity that is required,
Speaker 1: particularly in a finals game.
Speaker 3: You mentioned too much change. Doesn't it simplify things because
Speaker 3: they're making less changes because Sexton's really only going to
Speaker 3: get into the game if there's a half that goes down.
Speaker 4: So Baylee's gonna play any minute hook.
Speaker 3: Or give a breathe.
Speaker 1: That to Haywood, Well that's a change because how much
Speaker 1: all time has toty sex and playing it at hooker?
Speaker 3: No, not much, But I don't think it's he's going
Speaker 3: to be playing massive minutes there.
Speaker 4: He might need to. Bailey could get knocked out, you know, right.
Speaker 1: But I think when when we were as well, when
Speaker 1: you sit down and break the changes, obviously you've got
Speaker 1: the galbum money, right, huge change, huge change. The minute
Speaker 1: of the year, you've got the dummy half change, massive change.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Then you've got a subtle change with what Stephen Crichton
Speaker 1: is doing at fullback where he's attacking as sorry Stephen Crichton,
Speaker 1: what he's doing when he's attacking. When Canterbury attacking, he
Speaker 1: goes to fullback, Connor Tracy transitions to right center now right,
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent agree with that because getting Stephen
Speaker 1: Cryden with the hands on.
Speaker 4: The ball more.
Speaker 1: But it's another change, right, So I just think they've
Speaker 1: run out of runway. That's my concern for Canterbury. All
Speaker 1: the changes I understand, I get, and I'm not really
Speaker 1: going to argue with, although I will personally start with
Speaker 1: Reid Marney at nine.
Speaker 4: But I'm just not sure they've got enough time to
Speaker 4: get it all going.
Speaker 2: I think he had to do something because they're not
Speaker 2: playing well, haven't played well for a while. Now what
Speaker 2: intrigues me about Sexton is if things aren't going well
Speaker 2: in this game, if things aren't going to plan, if
Speaker 2: things aren't working, will will they think with.
Speaker 3: His halves, Will he take Galvin Willy or.
Speaker 2: Move Galvin the six, move Burton? I don't know. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying that option is there now, right, So I
Speaker 2: wonder where I'm sure Cam's saying to Galvan, don't worry you,
Speaker 2: my half back. Nothing's going to change. But things aren't
Speaker 2: going well in Melbourne. Given the way they've been playing
Speaker 2: and the way Lachman struggled himself and I with Mick,
Speaker 2: I think long term they've made the right move, like
Speaker 2: Galvin will work out in the long run. He's too
Speaker 2: good a play not to I just wonder whether now,
Speaker 2: if things just say that they're losing and I look
Speaker 2: poor in the first half, does he pull a trigger
Speaker 2: to try and get them back into the game.
Speaker 3: He wouldn't be the first coach to do it, because
Speaker 3: guys remember in sixteen when Shane Flanagan took Chad towns
Speaker 3: and off the field.
Speaker 2: I don't remember that.
Speaker 3: I remember, Yeah, it was a huge call at the time.
Speaker 3: He took the starting half back off the field. It was,
Speaker 3: but that was and they ended up winning the game.
Speaker 4: That was one change.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this would be one change.
Speaker 4: We've seen a lot of mine is We've seen a
Speaker 4: lot of change. And then.
Speaker 1: Flin was pretty steadfast and that press confistrate after that, No,
Speaker 1: Chad still our half back. They got around Chad right,
Speaker 1: there was a huge in the moment.
Speaker 3: Of the game.
Speaker 1: Potentially the worst thing that happened for Canarbury was the
Speaker 1: fact that Lockie Gavin was available mid year. Right in
Speaker 1: an ideal scenario, in an world, he would have finished
Speaker 1: the year at the West Tigers and they would have
Speaker 1: parachuted him at the end of the season.
Speaker 2: I think the point is we're never letting him go. Remember,
Speaker 2: I don't think they were going to win. I don't
Speaker 2: think they were going to win the premiership with Sex
Speaker 2: and the seven. So that they took a throw at
Speaker 2: the stumps because make better reading, not just in a
Speaker 2: long degree, it's going to make a small dangerous team
Speaker 2: in the short term. Now it hasn't worked out that way,
Speaker 2: right and even before he got there, they were starting
Speaker 2: to get the wobbles a little bit with Sex. The
Speaker 2: new pointed out David Sex and stats I think it
Speaker 2: was in Canberra, so they were getting the wobbles already
Speaker 2: and this is just sort of it's sort of snowboard
Speaker 2: snowboard right, nothing's changed. I think we all thought. I thought,
Speaker 2: you get Calvin in there, you're a better football side,
Speaker 2: you're more dangerous, you'll pick up some steam again. But
Speaker 2: they haven't. They're just sort of treading water at the moment.
Speaker 3: I appreciate the focus on the biggest talking points at
Speaker 3: the Dogs. He's the spine, but boys, I can't get
Speaker 3: away from the fact the Dogs identified their biggest issue
Speaker 3: a long time ago when they signed Leo Thompson. They
Speaker 3: indicated right there and then that they weren't convinced in
Speaker 3: their pack and I feel as though that is still
Speaker 3: their achilles heel. You think about there, that Rooster's performance,
Speaker 3: the Roosters just powered through them. Then last week Kranulla
Speaker 3: with their when the Shark's bench came on, they just
Speaker 3: kept on rolling straight through them. Max King has had
Speaker 3: an incredible season, a career high season, but it's also
Speaker 3: taken some juice out of him. And then Sam Hughes
Speaker 3: here's a young prop. Like there's no expectation that Sam
Speaker 3: Hughes is a dominant front rower in the game. And
Speaker 3: I just feel as though, as much as the focus
Speaker 3: is on the halves and to your point that they've
Speaker 3: lost their way, I think it's pack related.
Speaker 2: Would say, only two weeks ago they went down to Melbourne,
Speaker 2: very unlucky line, very unlucky. Not so I don't they're
Speaker 2: not without hope going down to Melbourne.
Speaker 3: I give them a big chance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't forgive'm a big chance. I'll give them
Speaker 2: an outside chance.
Speaker 4: They will be close, Like they're not going to get embarrassed. No,
Speaker 4: they won't get embarrassed.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I remember have got a few hours well
Speaker 2: obviously paps and drying.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like if you said these are all the changes
Speaker 1: they are going to make at the end of the season,
Speaker 1: I'll be like sweet.
Speaker 4: That's why.
Speaker 1: It's just my concern is that so many so soon
Speaker 1: with not a lot of lead lay.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Is there a world we live in? And this
Speaker 3: will sound crazy, but it almost becomes like whatever we
Speaker 3: do now is a bonus for next year, like where
Speaker 3: we're just getting runs on the board to get some
Speaker 3: experience in the finals when we're yeah, we're.
Speaker 4: He guarantee we make it. You're no guarantee to make
Speaker 4: it next day.
Speaker 1: Really like, I understand what you're saying, Like you're building
Speaker 1: the foundations the long term, right, and that's the Lockie signing,
Speaker 1: no doubt.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: But this this could be the last time this group
Speaker 1: finishes in the top four. I don't think it will be,
Speaker 1: but this could be the last time, right. So they've
Speaker 1: gone all into to win it this year. And there's
Speaker 1: what these changes for that you know they've actual read
Speaker 1: money because they believe that Baylor will give a better
Speaker 1: chance to win this weekend. Right, So I get it.
Speaker 1: It's an all in play. I'm so intrigued to see
Speaker 1: how it's going to play out because it's it's.
Speaker 4: So uncommon for us to see.
Speaker 1: And that's not to say it's not it's not the
Speaker 1: right thing, but at the moment, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a it's a winning rotation.
Speaker 3: It is the second final of the weekend over in
Speaker 3: New Zealand. I can't wait to see the atmosphere and
Speaker 3: the crowd. As far as this warriors the Panthers clash
Speaker 3: history between the two coaches having worked together Webster and
Speaker 3: Ivan Cleary. Everyone feels as though this is a Panther's victory.
Speaker 3: Can the Warriors do something here? Can they win this game?
Speaker 4: No, I don't. I don't think so. I don't, I don't,
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I just think you know, I saw him play at
Speaker 1: Brookie on the weekend and they're just a side that
Speaker 1: have had too many obstacles to overcome. They've had an
Speaker 1: outstanding season. You talk about foundation blocks for next year, Well,
Speaker 1: it's all there for the Warriors, right, It's all set
Speaker 1: up nicely for him to mount a top four charge
Speaker 1: next year.
Speaker 4: I just think.
Speaker 1: The Panthers just know how to get it done and
Speaker 1: they'll probably do enough to win.
Speaker 2: I'm not putting along for them. They can't win the comp.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt they can't win the camp. But I
Speaker 2: reckon they got eighty good minutes in them, and I
Speaker 2: reckon they can at home full house amounts, smart or
Speaker 2: whatever it's called now. I think they've got eighty minutes
Speaker 2: in them and they can have one red hot go
Speaker 2: and maybe maybe produce the stunning upset because it would
Speaker 2: be and Penrith have been. Look, they've won a lot
Speaker 2: of games in the back end of the year. Remarkable.
Speaker 2: What they've done is remarkable to get to where they
Speaker 2: are from being where they last up to twelve rounds.
Speaker 2: I won I think ten of their past thirteen games
Speaker 2: or something, so it's a huge, huge task. But I
Speaker 2: just think the warror is I just reckon that if
Speaker 2: they can turn up. I've been twenty minutes only apen
Speaker 2: twenty get ahead, start, come out, you know, fly out
Speaker 2: the blocks, put some points on, get the winner in
Speaker 2: their sales, get that crowd behind them. I'm not willing
Speaker 2: to say they can't win this game.
Speaker 3: Boys, did this come from Rugby League Fantasy Land? Did
Speaker 3: you pick up on this tip? There's a little bit
Speaker 3: of whispers around the game at the point of which
Speaker 3: when Ivan decided to rest sixteen players. The tip went
Speaker 3: that the Panthers all sat around and went through all
Speaker 3: the machinations of what could potentially happen in the finals,
Speaker 3: and the one game they didn't want to looking want
Speaker 3: to happen was a trip to New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember you're telling me that story is.
Speaker 5: They didn't want to go to New Yeah, this was
Speaker 5: the This was the tip because of the travel, travel,
Speaker 5: the impact on your recovery if you win the you know,
Speaker 5: going over earlier, it's a tough place.
Speaker 3: To play.
Speaker 4: I don't think Pendeth theear anyone that plays back if
Speaker 4: that was, I don't. I don't know what, honestly, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know that. I don't feel like.
Speaker 3: New mathematiciansagors theory.
Speaker 4: I think parents feel like they could beat anyone anyway.
Speaker 3: Of course they can.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for mine, it's a non issue. I think they're
Speaker 4: gonna win the comp.
Speaker 3: Hurt what.
Speaker 4: The four time premiers, right, and they can win the camp.
Speaker 4: They were already back track. They will.
Speaker 1: They're the ones I've tip to win the comp. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Penrith fans, I'll bet camer in the Grand final.
Speaker 3: In saying that, in declaring that massive call that Penrith
Speaker 3: will become the first team to win the premiership from
Speaker 3: outside the top four, yes, you also believe Dylan Edwards
Speaker 3: will find his best form.
Speaker 1: My major concern for Penrith is Dylan Edwards, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Forget everything else that's gone on with Penrith this year.
Speaker 1: This is a genuine concern because he looks like he's
Speaker 1: lacking self confidence.
Speaker 2: He's he looks to me, he's like he's he's the
Speaker 2: fittest blood just about in rugby league. Right. It has
Speaker 2: been for a long time.
Speaker 1: He looks it looks like he's losing contest in the air, right,
Speaker 1: But the concerning thing was he dropped a bomb against
Speaker 1: the Dragons last week, then he made a play theball
Speaker 1: era like these are errors that were plagued him when
Speaker 1: he first started, right, and haven't been a constant this year.
Speaker 1: And for mine, the only question mark I have on
Speaker 1: Penrith at the moment to go in and winning the
Speaker 1: premiership is the form of Ellan Edwards.
Speaker 3: You've got to understand too. I think we have to
Speaker 3: give them some leeway. They are not robots. These guys
Speaker 3: have been up for four years, call it five if
Speaker 3: you want to. And Dylan Edwards has been the constant. Yeah,
Speaker 3: remarkable and at some point the energy levels despite the
Speaker 3: fact that of course you're running out onto that field
Speaker 3: and I'm saying, I'm saying I want to win today.
Speaker 3: I want to win today. But there has to be
Speaker 3: a small percentage of juice sapped from everything there.
Speaker 1: But he's the only one at the moment for me
Speaker 1: that there that looks like that. Yeah, Like I don't
Speaker 1: see it in Nathan, I don't see it, HISSI I
Speaker 1: don't say it Lean Mark, I don't see it in
Speaker 1: any of the other players. So my concern number one
Speaker 1: concern for me if you said to me, why can't
Speaker 1: Penrith win the comp For mine, it's the form of
Speaker 1: Dylan Edwards at the.
Speaker 3: Moment Boys Saturday Night, Shark Park five e eight Sharks
Speaker 3: fver is is I think this will be an aerial
Speaker 3: assault of the wingers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed, Well it has to be.
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got Daniel Risk of Daniel two Mark
Speaker 2: on their wings. If you're not putting the ball up
Speaker 2: up in the air with Sam Walker's kicking game, you're
Speaker 2: not doing the right thing, So I mean clearly, and
Speaker 2: Renaldo Ronaldo is obviously outstanding in the air as well,
Speaker 2: So you're right, Dave. I'm looking forward to It should
Speaker 2: be a great game and the wingers. Wingers might decide
Speaker 2: this game. I think so often you say.
Speaker 3: That I legitimately believe this and I reckon at some
Speaker 3: point Mark mark these words. On Saturday Night, we're going
Speaker 3: to be staring at the video screen and we're going
Speaker 3: to be looking at an escort. We're going to be
Speaker 3: looking at an escort. Did he move his shoulder.
Speaker 2: On his stags like just ye deliberately taking did.
Speaker 3: His eyes look at the player or the ball? You
Speaker 3: know how they're doing this stuff now? Seriously, body language
Speaker 3: experts in the in the bunker, because.
Speaker 2: Those guys are so entertaining, particularly Mark, the guys in
Speaker 2: the bunker in the air human case. People complain about
Speaker 2: the game cheap game become a bit predictable just kicking
Speaker 2: on the QUI chief the line. But then I love
Speaker 2: seeing those blokes fly through the year.
Speaker 4: Do you guys have it? I've never had an issue
Speaker 4: tries off kicks.
Speaker 3: I do. I just think it's a cheap way to
Speaker 3: the try line. I love them, look the athletic geniuses.
Speaker 3: There is a predictability, a predictability about it. There is
Speaker 3: predictively you should stop it, but there is nothing well
Speaker 3: there's sometimes it's just I'm taller than you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing predictable about predictable about Mark. No way
Speaker 2: on the ground everywhere.
Speaker 4: I've never had an issue with tries off kicks.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I think this one will a.
Speaker 2: Vertically challenged man. That's well, you played league, did you?
Speaker 4: You're the shortest person.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: Sammy Walker's kicking game will be almost he actually got
Speaker 3: cronulla a couple of times, firstly in Gosford earlier this year,
Speaker 3: then again at Sharpon Park. I think it's absolutely Sammy Walker,
Speaker 3: it's great to see.
Speaker 4: Let's ask the rule. Firstly, are you glad?
Speaker 1: Where do you think the Roosters should finish up this Yearyo?
Speaker 3: That will clearly the bookmakers agree with me because they
Speaker 3: are short price favorites, the eighth team short priced favorites
Speaker 3: against the fifteen.
Speaker 2: So have they had a good year or bad? Your day?
Speaker 2: Where do you.
Speaker 4: Assess that your your turns come? And be careful?
Speaker 3: I'm I think they've had a decent year. They had
Speaker 3: to overcome some injuries.
Speaker 2: Average year. What do you think it knocked out Week
Speaker 2: one of the finals.
Speaker 3: I think that's an underachievement for the Roosters. If you
Speaker 3: ask the Sydney Roosters where they think they should be running,
Speaker 3: I don't think eighth is the answer.
Speaker 4: I think they would have taken it at the start
Speaker 4: of the year.
Speaker 3: Okay it's the start of the year. But the rosters
Speaker 3: the roster, they've got five origin players, They've got the
Speaker 3: Dallian player here and James Tedesco. If you dropped Teddy
Speaker 3: into any of the other top eight teams, you've made
Speaker 3: the case for Dylan Edwards earlier. Teddy would be enormous
Speaker 3: for win the camp Cana enormous for Cornella Canela win the.
Speaker 4: Comp if they had James d Escott fullback. Anyway, what
Speaker 4: do you reckon, Dave?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they absolutely go close, he said, you said they
Speaker 2: win the game. That's the difference going what you got from.
Speaker 4: Look what you got, Sam Walker.
Speaker 2: I love the kid I spoke in this week is
Speaker 2: a ripper.
Speaker 3: What's the context of your article coming out with?
Speaker 2: It's inside the brain of a rugby league savant. A
Speaker 2: genius is what I think about building around because he
Speaker 2: is a rugby league genius, Sam Walker.
Speaker 4: Was he aware well to come back when you spoke
Speaker 4: to him?
Speaker 3: Was he aware of the claim that you were making
Speaker 3: that he was a genius?
Speaker 2: I said, I don't want to go inside.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, not that claim that he said he probably
Speaker 1: shouldn't play again.
Speaker 2: Please breath. And that's the tweets and everything puts on
Speaker 2: Instagram every week.
Speaker 4: He was aware I took a pH of.
Speaker 3: About you.
Speaker 4: He did. He did a slag Sami, Sam.
Speaker 2: I've spoken several times. He finds the music like you idiot,
Speaker 2: But I mean that as I said numerous times, that
Speaker 2: got completely content. I said, if throughout a finals contention,
Speaker 2: and they were not out of finals contention, and at
Speaker 2: the time I thought he was coming back in August
Speaker 2: and you know what, dropping your phone and yeah, there
Speaker 2: were some people close to him who were of that belief. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I just parroted what they were saying.
Speaker 3: So we done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, that worked out well.
Speaker 3: Boys. This has sold out g Io Stadium Sunday afternoon
Speaker 3: Rugby League. Thanks mister Abdsten. I appreciate that. Broncos Raiders,
Speaker 3: there's an increasing tension between these two teams.
Speaker 1: What's going on there is you've had the the bus, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's to go there?
Speaker 3: There's there's there's coaching tension between Marge and Ricky. But
Speaker 3: at the same time there's club the club. There's club
Speaker 3: the club tension. And it all started back in round
Speaker 3: two with the bus situation of when the Broncos pulled
Speaker 3: up at the front gates and said, hang on a secon,
Speaker 3: why aren't we going through the gates and the Raiders said, well,
Speaker 3: we've changed out.
Speaker 4: The storm the gates.
Speaker 3: Anyway, It's all I found it ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Are they friends?
Speaker 2: No? I don't think they are friends either, Dave, you
Speaker 2: know better than me, But I don't think they're No,
Speaker 2: I don't think they're best mates when they speak that often.
Speaker 2: And you know, Ricky obviously gave Madge a bit of
Speaker 2: a lifeline when he left the West Tigers, brought it,
Speaker 2: brought him back into coaching and their Madge obviously took
Speaker 2: the News at Wales job and left there. So I
Speaker 2: don't think it. I don't think they particularly left on
Speaker 2: the friend list of terms. And we know what Ricky
Speaker 2: is like. He loves a bit definitely respect of respect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's a coaching respect there.
Speaker 2: But then it's not by Ricky and Craig who talk
Speaker 2: all the time. And the MAT's been mates for god
Speaker 2: knows how long, thirty forty years, right, I mean these
Speaker 2: blokes they know each other and but I don't think
Speaker 2: there's any great I wouldn't call it a friendship.
Speaker 3: No, how does this play out this game?
Speaker 4: It's going to be what's the storyline at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, It's going to be the Fullbacks.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think I think they're both Like
Speaker 1: Reee Walsh is in Korea, Best Form has found that
Speaker 1: consistency over the p five or six weeks. He's not
Speaker 1: playing with any strapping around his knee. He looks free.
Speaker 1: And Kyle Weeks has been ridiculously good this year, right.
Speaker 3: I bought him as a five eighth.
Speaker 1: For originally our standing job started standing Tommy a bit hard.
Speaker 3: So where would Weeks be playing if he wasn't?
Speaker 4: Mean that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Maybe books he had to go? Did Weeks have to go?
Speaker 4: I reckon, I had to go. I had to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just one of those unfortunate circumstances for him,
Speaker 1: and Cambus signed a good one there.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think the battle are the ones.
Speaker 2: H Oh, that's that's a big part of it, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I think Payne Hausen Joey tarp And
Speaker 2: is huge as well. Two front rollers, probably argued with
Speaker 2: the two best front rollers in the camp. And Payne's
Speaker 2: been just laying this platform for the Broncos and their
Speaker 2: hals for what he's done it all season. And Joey's
Speaker 2: Joe Joey's become one of the great leaders of rugby league,
Speaker 2: Like I never saw it in I don't know him
Speaker 2: that well, but I never thought to him as a
Speaker 2: great leader. But he's I'm an amazing leader in camera
Speaker 2: for that footy team, and I reckon that class is
Speaker 2: going to be immense and it's going to play a
Speaker 2: big role in the outcome of this game and the
Speaker 2: fullbacks not it's not this one though, because those two
Speaker 2: bikes from great form. It's funny, right, A lot of
Speaker 2: people are talking up Brisbane, but man, Camera have been
Speaker 2: so good this year, so consistent, a lot of people
Speaker 2: will write them off before the season again and and
Speaker 2: they've been unbelievable. A lot of people write.
Speaker 4: Camera boy, you are tip camera from day one.
Speaker 2: I can't sack up to Ricky down its.
Speaker 3: Earlier this year, I sat in this very seat and
Speaker 3: I declared Joey Tarpani the best front run of the game.
Speaker 3: And this bloke he.
Speaker 2: Took me to task well, plains the best from me.
Speaker 3: And I think Tarpany has absolutely proven by leading the
Speaker 3: Raiders to the Minor premier year, threw consistency as well
Speaker 3: in his performance.
Speaker 2: He's better than.
Speaker 4: YEP three.
Speaker 2: It's close. I'm not saying it's not close. Plains the best.
Speaker 3: Front rolling, good you coming around.
Speaker 2: He's a good player. Do I bag him either? Shit?
Speaker 2: What do I say you didn't bag him. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: there he goes Joey, don't listen to him, love buddy.
Speaker 3: Champion Boys. The rumor mill, what's in the mail bag?
Speaker 3: What are you on? A little bit of something around
Speaker 3: Tommy Troboyevich.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, obviously looks like Tommy's well, Tommy's out of
Speaker 2: the Ashes tour. It's got a bit of ANEE issue Tommy.
Speaker 2: But the other intriguing thing with Tommy is there's been
Speaker 2: rumors circulating actually just come out in England that he's
Speaker 2: been shopped as Super League teams. Now I don't think
Speaker 2: it's progressed, but beyond that, but he's definitely a been
Speaker 2: super League team's been asked their interest levels in top
Speaker 2: Tommy potentially for the twenty twenty seventh season when he's
Speaker 2: off contract and obviously merely and negotiating the background with
Speaker 2: Tommy over an extension. So it's intriguing, intriguing, Mickel, what
Speaker 2: you got to add to.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, he's intriguing that On multi Lady wanted to
Speaker 1: play for Australia at the end of the season, but
Speaker 1: his knee doesn't require surgery, so it's just one of
Speaker 1: those ones that needs rest and he wants to gear
Speaker 1: himself up for a big pre season heading too Manly
Speaker 1: for Manly next year. And as Ready said, there is
Speaker 1: he definitely instructed his agent to sound out super leg options.
Speaker 1: So that's what's happened. He's got twelve months left on
Speaker 1: his Manly deal. Mainly want to keep him, right, So
Speaker 1: this is not a This is not a question of
Speaker 1: Manly wanted wanting Tom out of the club. I mainly
Speaker 1: want to keep him. They want to lock him down
Speaker 1: long term. They wanted to finish his career there. So
Speaker 1: whether or not Tom is getting itchy feet, I want
Speaker 1: to experience something else or the injuries.
Speaker 4: Just want another suitor, No, because he's been pretty open.
Speaker 2: Right, he's mainly making him a good offer. When you're
Speaker 2: taken on account.
Speaker 3: Sits at around eight hundred. My understanding is, I.
Speaker 2: Mean he's had a lot of money for long time at.
Speaker 1: That footage and he knows that right, Like he said publicly,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get anywhere near what I'm getting.
Speaker 2: Now and pay Cup previously. So you know, I don't
Speaker 2: think it's a money issue with twenty.
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think that significant money is
Speaker 3: in the English super League anymore.
Speaker 2: No, he wouldn't get that.
Speaker 4: In the super you get No, you wouldn't get anywhere either.
Speaker 2: There's you're allowed you're allowed to pay one player, one
Speaker 2: overseas player outside the salary cap.
Speaker 4: I think George Winn is the highest paid player.
Speaker 1: In two hundred thousand quid or a little bit more,
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, that the money is completely different.
Speaker 1: As ready said, it'd be more of a lifestyle change
Speaker 1: of because he's not going to play against Manley, right,
Speaker 1: They've made that clear of the boys.
Speaker 4: So whether or not they both go to Super League together.
Speaker 2: Still, And I mean, look, I think it is the
Speaker 2: pressure on Tommy as well. I mean you wouldn't have
Speaker 2: Gibbers like ask ask him every week how are you feeling?
Speaker 2: Has your body? Which I think has worn him down
Speaker 2: for a long time now. The pilement is so focused
Speaker 2: on his fitness and his health and the shape of
Speaker 2: his body. And look he go over there and plans
Speaker 2: super League. Man Tommy could plan second Gear and he'd
Speaker 2: be the best player in Super League. So but I
Speaker 2: think ultimately he'll end up staying to Manley. But obviously
Speaker 2: there's there's something doing.
Speaker 3: Boy's a code NRL trivia competition starts tomorrow. So I
Speaker 3: thought we'd just throw a little couple of questions, just
Speaker 3: a couple of show the readers and listeners out there,
