1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to bener Roll three sixty Rugby League from every angle. 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: Join him in the Great Gordon Tallas. 3 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: It's been the genero Australian Paul Crawley and Dean Richie. 4 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 2: You're back, Gordon. 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 3: Back, mate, one of the lucky ones. Are still a 6 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 3: few people there without power and everybody's underwater, but one 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 3: of the lucky ones. 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: What's good to have you back. 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: We're going to get to the race is on to 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: replace Dylan Brown at the Paramatta Eels. 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: But first I want to get the reaction from you two. 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: What were your thoughts with this decision to go to Newcasts, mate. 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 4: It's a great deal for Dylan Brown and his management 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 4: have done a tremendous job. 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: I just think for the. 16 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 4: Club and not necessarily the coach and the people in 17 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 4: charge at this present point, but for the club it 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 4: puts a noose around their neck. 19 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: For ten years. 20 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 4: They've paid top dollar to bring in a bloke who, 21 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 4: no doubt on his day is up with the best 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 4: players in the game. But they've brought him in to 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 4: do a job that he hasn't proven he can do 24 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 4: and so the pressure is going to be huge on him. 25 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 4: But for the club itself. I just think it's a 26 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 4: huge gamble. 27 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 5: History will ultimately determine whether this decision is right or not. 28 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 6: It is, in my eyes, the most contentious signing in 29 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 6: terms of ability versus asking price in an aural history. 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 6: I don't think we've had a bigger signing for a 31 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 6: player that I don't think is worth a million bucks 32 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 6: to get one point three. 33 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 5: But the Knights are incredibly comfortable. 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 6: They today said quoite unquote, we won't lose a wink 35 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 6: of sleep over this, so they know what they've bought. 36 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 6: You think of Fletcher Sharp, Kaylon Ponger, Dylan Brown, it 37 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 6: is going to be one potent side throwing their phoenix, Crossland, 38 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 6: Bradman Best. 39 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 5: You've got a top fourteen. 40 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: You can't look at the way Dylan played on the 41 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: weekend because Paramatta were pretty ordinary. But when he played 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: with Mitchell and they're at their best break and there's 43 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: a partnership, do you think the way he plays is 44 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: so direct? Do you think he will open up Kaylen Palmer. 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he will open up Klen. 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that because just as he's a 47 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: really good player, you know, so he's got the great footwork, speed, He's. 48 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: Got X factor right, so he's going to even a quick. 49 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: Play the ball from Brown is going to create time 50 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: and space that Calen doesn't have at the moment. You know, 51 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: any any danger or any threat inside of Kaylan at 52 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: present is going to make him a better player than 53 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: what he already is. And Kaylan's playing some great footy 54 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: over the past couple of seasons. But I think that 55 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: the big one is you know that the game control 56 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: the genuine seven that the wins premierships, because that's essentially 57 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: what they're bought him for. 58 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: He's not he's not proven. He's proving half back. 59 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 6: He'll be first receiver at paramattas we know, he's on 60 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 6: the left hand edge and Mitchell runs the show. He's 61 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 6: not as cruel said a half back per se. But 62 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 6: look at Cooper Kronk, look at Jerome Hughes. That can 63 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 6: be molded into as this. 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: Madi or Andrew back to help him learn to play seven. 65 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: Well, just on that two of the sharpest minds in 66 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: rugby league don't think that. 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: He is a seven. 68 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 7: Dylan can impact a game heavily, can have a big 69 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 7: impact on a game, but to do that he needs 70 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 7: someone alongside him to control the game. 71 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 5: That's what he needs. Dylan is an explosive player. 72 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 7: He impacts the game through moments. He's not a seven, 73 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 7: he's a six. Dylan's game is the game of a deputy. 74 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 7: He's a reactive player. He's a deputy. He is a 75 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 7: pure six. Hell of a six, very good six, but 76 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 7: he ain't a seven. 77 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 8: I was disappointed in what Dylan Brown delivered when Mitchell 78 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 8: Moses was out last year. When a fire mate as 79 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 8: their main man, go down, sometimes it's really good learning 80 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 8: and development for you to go wear the seven and 81 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 8: find out what it takes. And he moved halfback and 82 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 8: didn't really do too much. 83 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: Well there it is in two of the sharpest minds 84 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: in Knick on Dylan Brown whatsoever. But questioning whether were 85 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: just saying he's an out and out six, he's not 86 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: a seven. 87 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 4: The other thing, going back to Doggie's point a moment 88 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 4: ago about Jerome Hughes, I think there are similarities that 89 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 4: potentially Dylan could turn into that running style seven. 90 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 5: With a lot of coaching. 91 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: That's what's happened with Jerome Hughes down in Melbourne with Bellamy. 92 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 4: He's put years into this Blake to making him the 93 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 4: player is today. The difference for the Knights is they're 94 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 4: paying top dollar right now for him to potentially be 95 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: that player down the track. And I think when I 96 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: look back on Dylan Brown and how good a player 97 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 4: he can be, I'll go back to the Test series 98 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: before last year when they were playing the Kiwi's in 99 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: the semifinal, Australia playing the Kiwis and he was not 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 4: cited in that game. The following week he came out 101 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 4: and he was nearly the best player on the field 102 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: in the final. So that's what he's capable of. But 103 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 4: too often we see what he did in that semi final. 104 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: He has to do that every week if he's going 105 00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: to be on that sort of money up there? 106 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 5: You agree, dog, I do agree. I do agree. 107 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 6: I'm curious to know Dylan Brown know whether he'll handle 108 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 6: emotionally and psychologically this price tag. 109 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 5: It's a very heavy burden to carry. 110 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 6: It's right, when you're on seven eight hundred thousand, that's 111 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 6: what you're expected to perform as. But when you're on 112 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 6: one point three, every mistake you make, every blunder you make, 113 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 6: you were going to be known as the one point three. 114 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: Million dollar pick up the phone and asked Ben Hunt, 115 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: because every time the Dragon's loss it wasn't Dragons, there 116 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 3: was Ben Hunt. 117 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 6: And you know what, that's what you have to carry 118 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 6: though when you agree to this car burden him or 119 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 6: the club, well both. 120 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 4: He will week to week when he runs out, he'll 121 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: feel the pressure. Plenty of players, like you just said, 122 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 4: plenty of. 123 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: Felt that either. 124 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: But my concern is just as much for the fans 125 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: and the club up there, because this is a long 126 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: term deal and if it backfires, how do you get 127 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: out of it? 128 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: How do you get out. 129 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: Of it when he's basically locked in through the least. 130 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: Years time. Concern the guys that make the Tamalala deal. 131 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: Are they still let the Cowboys? 132 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 5: I don't think so. 133 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: I think the concern is when Sally got there and 134 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: we spoke about it on here, is that the cat 135 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: was a mess. It really was, and then he's had 136 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: to clear the decks and make a few moves. And 137 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: this is a lot of money to spend on a 138 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: player like Dylan. But yeah, and I'm not saying it's 139 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: not going to be a success, and they have home 140 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: to the world. It could very much. It could be 141 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: a master Strogan. Sally's renowned for it too. He's made 142 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: some magnificent calls as as a recruitment officer in the past, 143 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: so you know, his record speaks for itself. 144 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 2: Sally, he could be one of his best ever. It 145 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 2: could be the opposite. 146 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 5: Excuse me break that. There are clauses. I checked him today. 147 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 5: It's toward the back end though. 148 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 6: It's about two thousand and thirty four and thirty five, 149 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 6: which seems. 150 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 5: Like an attorney whose favor the club's favor. 151 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 6: What you use it, thirty four and thirty five, So 152 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 6: that's the kind of gives you the normally of the deal. 153 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 5: But exactly you still possibly it's. 154 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 6: Not for the club though the player, so obviously Newcastle 155 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 6: learn off Paramatta not to give the player the option. 156 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 6: It's a club auction and they're claiming it's to protect 157 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 6: both parties. 158 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: That's interesting, all right. What about Ponger? Is it at 159 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: the risk of. 160 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: It feels like they've made this decision in this call 161 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: to keep him happy and to keep him at the 162 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: club because there has been rumors and a bit of 163 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: speculation that he you know, he was getting itchy feet. 164 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: What's our thoughts on this? 165 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: Well, They've probably got a year or so to make 166 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 4: sure that they can prove to him that it will work, 167 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: because you look the rumors, the mail doesn't go away 168 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: that there's interest from the roosters. Ponger is if he's 169 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: not the best player in the game, he's in the 170 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: top three. He's certainly as dangerous as anyone out there. 171 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: He can carry a team. And you know, like if 172 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: they don't succeed, I struggle to see how they could 173 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 4: keep him long. 174 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: If I'm a Nights fan and I'm sitting watching, would 175 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: they have gone to kl and Ponger and said, hey, mate, 176 00:07:59,200 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: what do you think of this? 177 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Certainly they would have actually got recall him, so he 178 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: would he would have he would have spoken to Dylan. 179 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 5: I think a Sharp will be the one will take 180 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 5: just as much pressure off Kaylen Pommer as Dylan Brown. 181 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: I think he's more of a key at the moment. 182 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 5: His roll on the side, well, Sharp Sharp is. 183 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: Incredible player. I love him and who is one of 184 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: the best on the weekend. He's a runner, He's the 185 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: one that can get. 186 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: A quick play of the ball. 187 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, but he's very similar to Dylan 188 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: in that way that he runs the ball, Dylan's more 189 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: creative's better pass. 190 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 4: And that's why Brown has to go there as a 191 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: Saiven Sharpe is that he's the same, isn't He's a 192 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 4: running five ag like when he took off from dummy 193 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 4: half the other day. He's an opportunist and he's got 194 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 4: blinding speed and that look. When I watched the game 195 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 4: on the weekend, I thought, jeez, you've got a future here. 196 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 4: This is a pretty brave call from Adam O'Brien to 197 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 4: move him to the halves this year. And I thought, 198 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 4: first up it was an outstanding six. Say he's got 199 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 4: the potential to be a great five at The concern 200 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 4: is having him with Dylan Brown as your heart's pairing, 201 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 4: because the other bloke has to take control of the team. 202 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: Who's the chief, is the maestro. It's going to has 203 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: to be Brown, there's no doubt about that. Now who 204 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: will replace him at PARAMOUNTA? The race is on and 205 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: here are a couple of players or some ideas that 206 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: we've come up with throughout the day. And unfortunately for 207 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: West Tigers fans turn. 208 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: Away Jerome Leui. Now Jerome Lewi has clauses in. 209 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: His contract right so we'll get to I'll come to 210 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: you soon on Doggie on this Lachlan Galvin is set 211 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: to go to November one and to the open market. 212 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: Hasn't re signed with the West Tigers, so he will 213 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: be off contract at the end of the year. 214 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: To irone. 215 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: Wishard has been a great success in Melbourne and could 216 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: be an option and bev and French for the Wigan Warriors. 217 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: Has got the Man of Steel and was mad at 218 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: the match in all of their big wins this year 219 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: and all the trophies that they won over in Super League. 220 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: Doggie Lewie taught me through this one. 221 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 6: If you're a West Tigers fan, you would be most 222 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 6: concerned about the relationship that Lewi formed. 223 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 5: With Mitchell Moses last year in State of Origin. They 224 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 5: became solid mates. 225 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 6: They played the last two games together New South Wales 226 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 6: was one kneel down, we won two, we won three, 227 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 6: we win the series. 228 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 5: They became solid mates. 229 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 6: So clearly Mitchell, if called upon, would be there to 230 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 6: try to help Lua Jerome away from the Tigers. He's 231 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 6: off contract sorry as of November one this year. What's 232 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 6: the clause for Jerome end of twenty six so both 233 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 6: he and Galvin are available if they hit the open 234 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 6: market as of November one, What wasn't. 235 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 3: His reasoning to go to the Tigers to stop living 236 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 3: in the shadow of another playmaker and to own a team. 237 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 6: Correct, let me stress Boardy that the the Eels haven't 238 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 6: come out and said we are chasing him. 239 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 5: So we're speculating very early from you. 240 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes, are the Eels a chance they blaze Talungey, 241 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 3: Lucky Galvin and Ethan Sauners? Right, so there are three 242 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: young paramedic kids. Are they a chance of investing in 243 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: their seventeen and nineteen year olds and putting all the 244 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: money and hoping that one of their good young kids 245 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: come through and doesn't go play at another club. 246 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: In fairness to Paramatta, they were in a bit of 247 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 4: a bind with Sanders and Ta Lungi, weren't they, because 248 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 4: they thought they had Moses and Dylan Brown locked up 249 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 4: long term. And for Ethan Sanders, you know, when the 250 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 4: Raiders were chasing him, the opportunity to play first game 251 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: potentially earlier was you know it was that was probably 252 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 4: more important than the money that was available. So that's 253 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 4: the problem for a club like that to invest in 254 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 4: the future when someone can come and pinch them. I'd 255 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 4: like to see Paramatta though, you know there's there's there 256 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: are players out there. Wish Art would be a great 257 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 4: example of a guy who's looking for that opportunity to 258 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: step up and. 259 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 5: Be either a five eight or hook er. 260 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: I think he could handle being in the starting team 261 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: in both your young bloke come peasant at the Storm 262 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 4: he's he's you know, he's. 263 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 3: Injury a super. 264 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: Talent SI with Melbourne only in the off seats. 265 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: How many clauses did you do? 266 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 2: Clause in there? 267 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: If your own stays at the club and resigns, he's 268 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: officially off contract Jonah. 269 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think we shout, we shouts a good 270 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 2: option for them. Do you think that they will make it? 271 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: His call? Is that now? 272 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: I think he can November one this year as well, 273 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. So you know it's going to be 274 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: an interesting now. 275 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: I think the difference here and for paramatter that potentially 276 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 4: it's a safer bed, isn't it? 277 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: Like if you're going for. 278 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 4: These players, they're not on top dollar at the moment, 279 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 4: and even if you would have double their waves, they're 280 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: still not going to be anywhere near what the Knights 281 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 4: have paid for Dylan Brown. I just think it's a 282 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 4: safer bed to go for. 283 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: Beg pardon. 284 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: He left a million dollars, so you've got where you 285 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 3: got to. 286 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: But you don't necessarily have to outlay that on your 287 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: next five eight. But you could certainly give one of 288 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 4: these guys upgrade and put the head. 289 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: If I look at this now, I think I couldn't 290 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: see LOI, although I think it's it's a good idea 291 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: and a possibility if as don't go so well this 292 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: year and MAUI get second thoughts, that's an option. But 293 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: Galvin Ben a paramount of Junior. He's got the same 294 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: agent as Mitchell Moses. You know, he is a great 295 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: player in the making, and that to me makes more sense. 296 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: And he's obviously not quite comfortable at the Tigers because 297 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: they've offered him upgrading extensions and he hasn't taken it. 298 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: And again I go back to the agent, same agent. Right, 299 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: do we see this is as a big chance? 300 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 5: Well, he's resisting, bro. 301 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 6: They're desperately hoping to nail him down before November one. 302 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 5: But the moment the kid is resisting, which doesn't mean 303 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 5: he's going to. 304 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 6: Leave, but it's an early indication that he's still a 305 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 6: little bit unsettled about his surroundings. You mentioned the agent obviously, 306 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 6: Mitchell Moses. Agent Isaac Moses is also the manager of 307 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 6: Lachland Galvin. Paramatta's got about one to one point two 308 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 6: million up their sleeve through the Dylan Brown money for 309 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 6: the next few years. So Parah's got money, They've got Moses, 310 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 6: they've got a manager, and they've also got a. 311 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 5: Kid who seems a bit unsettled. 312 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Own conclusions, what about Gus Guss has been talking about 313 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: Gallvin b time? 314 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: Is he interested? Do you think the Bulldogs can make 315 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: you play at him as well? 316 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 6: Or Gus will always be interested and he'll always keep 317 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 6: his cards close to his chest. 318 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 4: How could you not be interested in Lachland Galvin? Look, 319 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,599 Speaker 4: I think when when he's on the market, you go 320 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: back to him potentially wanting to see what's out there. 321 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 4: Why wouldn't he like he's If he's not the best 322 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 4: young talent in the game, he's up in the top 323 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 4: two or three and there will be a lot of 324 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 4: clubs coming for him. I'd be shocked though. With the Bulldogs, 325 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 4: they've already got Burton, yeah as a six. 326 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: They need a genuine seven. Don't they so similar? That's 327 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: what a few other clubs, right, It's an interesting one. 328 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 6: Do I think the day is coming where all half 329 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 6: back playmakers who are gun players are going to start 330 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 6: at one. 331 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 5: Minute and move north. That's the way it's moving, Like 332 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 5: a quarterback in the NFL. 333 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: I go to junior foot a lot, and every kid 334 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: wants to wear number one, like they And if you 335 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: look at the NRL, yeah, everybody wants to play one 336 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: because that's the glamor position at the moment. But when 337 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: I was a kid, it was six and seven. Like 338 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: it was six and seven, they were the best two 339 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: positions that you could play. You are the best two players. 340 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 3: And I think now it's you know, it's got to 341 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: swing back to the number seven. 342 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 4: I think though, with a problem and I've heard it 343 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 4: mentioned before and I've certainly seen it over the years 344 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 4: watching a lot of junior footy, is that there's so 345 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 4: much structure in junior now, but there is Gordon, and 346 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 4: it's a problem because there's so much structure with the 347 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 4: young halves at the moment that come through the game, 348 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 4: it takes a lot of their natural talent. When you're 349 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: a young player, you could play all that eyes up 350 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 4: footy and you basically went out and you weren't really coached, 351 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: You just went out and played. And now almost every 352 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 4: system I'm talking right across the country, they watch the 353 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 4: big games and there's so much structure on these kids 354 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 4: that they're probably overthinking their role instead of just getting 355 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 4: out there and playing free flower for it. 356 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: Totally agree. 357 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: Now from left field you've gone with Bevan Frenchie Doggy 358 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: just quickly is great. Great in the Super League over 359 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: in Vegas, he said it a light would he come 360 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: back to his old club in the halves. 361 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 6: Well, he's a paramount of player as you know Brath 362 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 6: and we saw in Vegas what he did. He was 363 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 6: also i think man of the match in the Super 364 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 6: League Grand Final last year with which Wigan won. He's 365 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 6: got a lot of a friends still at Paramatta. He 366 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 6: does have a long term deal oh at Wigan. But 367 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 6: what's a long term deal worth these days? And generally 368 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 6: both you're a player manager, you understand that if a 369 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 6: gun player and this boke is goes to England, there's 370 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 6: generally clauses in there that if the end of rull 371 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 6: come knocking, I can go back home again. 372 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 5: But he would be a brilliant. 373 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: Six if you interesting to see how he would come 374 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: back from Super League. I think it's a fascinating rugby 375 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: league story. He played the outside backs here for paramount. 376 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: He goes over there and is the best player in 377 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: the competition as a half. He's come on leaps and bounds. 378 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: Now you talk about halves market crawls. You've got some 379 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: advice from. 380 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 4: Airly Manly DCE Wow, you're watching him the other day. 381 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: He's thirty six years of arge. I think he turned 382 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 4: thirty six last month. And if I was Manly, I'd 383 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 4: be putting a deal on the table now for at 384 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: least the next two years and paying him full freight. 385 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 4: Now you would like he is such a good player. 386 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 4: He looks like he's got so much football ahead of him. 387 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 4: They're so hard to find these top halfbacks. Why wouldn't 388 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 4: you want to keep him for as long as you can. 389 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 5: You look at those ten year deals. We make a 390 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 5: bit of light of it, Braith, and I'm not a fan. 391 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 5: I think it's just absurd. But DCE one is the 392 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 5: only player I think where the ten year deal has 393 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 5: been a raging success. 394 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 4: He came through though and in his first year won 395 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 4: a premiership. Correct, you know he'd proven that he was 396 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 4: capable of doing that. But in saying that again, you 397 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 4: go back to the fat Manly haven't won two thousand. 398 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: Because he's running game is still strong and that's one 399 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: of his assets. But as he gets slower, you watch 400 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: you know the Thurstons and a Jason Smith, they get smarter. 401 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 3: They're just their game, smart kick kicking game. 402 00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: I said that last night. 403 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: It's been a raging success since he signed it and 404 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: they haven't won a com you know what I mean, 405 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: Like that's it's rolling, it's rolling the dice there at Newcastle. 406 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: But it would you reckon he'll he'll play Origin, He'll 407 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: stick with the Origin or. 408 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 4: You'd think that there would be a lot of pressure 409 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 4: from Queensland to wanted to see him stay. 410 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 3: Who's the next best? 411 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 4: Who's the next best Queensland seven at the moment, But 412 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 4: Sam Walken's out injured. Will ben Hunt's proven Yeah yeah, 413 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 4: Tom didn't those six months there. But ben Hunt's proven 414 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 4: that he's best spot playing Origin. He's teaming up with 415 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 4: Harry Grant at Walker. 416 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 5: He's a great leader. 417 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: I don't think Daly evens will walk away from state. 418 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 5: He loves. 419 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the sports Bet team selections 420 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: for round two and there's some big ones or in 421 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: for the Pairther's back on the wing, Alm he moves 422 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: to center. Humphreys retains his half spot for the Bunnies 423 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: and Dodd named in New South Wales Cup. Now now 424 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: I dropped to the reserves list, replaced by o'donald the Cowboys. 425 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: Lane returns for the Eels, Bullet and Chorus out huge 426 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: inclusions for the West Tigers and much leaders and for 427 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: sam Ai returns after that Round three ACL last year, 428 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: which is a great return there for the Gold Coast Titans. 429 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: But the big one to start off with is is Humphreys. 430 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: After that impressive performance for the Bunnies in Round one 431 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, maintains his position at seven. 432 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 4: They had no option, did they like you? He came 433 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 4: on in that trial match against the Dragons. He was 434 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 4: outstanding there on the weekend. He was superb. He's so strong, 435 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 4: he's so calm, he teams up well with Cody, tackles 436 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 4: everything that moves and he's kicking game like. He not 437 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 4: once did he really look under pressure. 438 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: He just seems to have time on his hands. Wayne 439 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: had no option. 440 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 3: But to keep him struggle. The only way you see 441 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 3: it changing If the nine gets injured, he might have 442 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 3: to push in and play nine because he's a bigger 443 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: body and that's where he had most of his pre season. 444 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 5: I wonder whether Manly might have some regret for that. 445 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 5: Why this young boy? 446 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah I agree with that, but what about seaous and 447 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: Dodd six hundred and fifty thousand dollars he's playing reserved. 448 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 6: You know what, I feel a bit sorry for The 449 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 6: kid's been absolutely hammered, condemned, criticized. It's a new team, 450 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 6: a new comp and a new country. 451 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 5: Can we look I know, the pressure being number. 452 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 6: Everybody him or the decision well, have it his performances. 453 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 6: But it's a couple of trial games and he's played. No, 454 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 6: he hasn't, but he hasn't. But can we just give 455 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 6: him a little bit of time. 456 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 4: Everyone's going to give him time. But the fact of 457 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 4: the matter is he is in New South Wales Cup 458 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 4: this week, so it becomes a talking point. The other 459 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 4: young guy has come in and from what we've seen 460 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 4: so far, and it's very early days, but he looks 461 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: like a player that could stay there for a few years. 462 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 5: God will take time. 463 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 4: He's come from a different comp I'm sure the club's 464 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 4: going to stick by him, but you've still got to 465 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 4: send the best players out on the field. You can't 466 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 4: kid yourself and think, well, you know, we made this 467 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 4: decision because we're paying him so much money to play 468 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 4: the other It's. 469 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: Just been a bizarre decision from the start of the 470 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: DoD One. It really has, because all reports coming out 471 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: of Super League from the second they signed him was it. 472 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: I hate saying it, but like he spoke, I spoke 473 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: to a few people over there and they said, you know, 474 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: he's he's a good player in Super League, but a 475 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the people were shocked that 476 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: he signed for so much to come over here and 477 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: play in the top grade and in the best league 478 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: in the world. 479 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: So I found a bizarre from the start. 480 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 6: And Wayne wasn't I hadn't signed formally. I don't think 481 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 6: when Dodd was signed he. 482 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: Would do we. 483 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 5: Do we believe that Wayne had some approval in Dodd's signature. 484 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 3: Let me say this, If it works out, Wayne, I'll 485 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 3: go well, I wanted the kid, and if it doesn't, 486 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 3: they go well. The decision was made without me. 487 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 2: I don't know. 488 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 5: I know again that was good. 489 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: There was speculation at the time, wasn't there. 490 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 5: And I do know that Christian Wolf. 491 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 4: He coached on it didn't he over and so Helen 492 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 4: so so I know that he had a rap on 493 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 4: Dodters a play and. 494 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: But apparently the Dolphins knocked him, knocked him back, and 495 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: the Roosters and then he saw his house. 496 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 497 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 2: Interesting. 498 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 6: Not a lot of Pommy halfbacks have really hit the 499 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 6: big time in Australia. 500 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 5: George Williams did a couple of years ago, and Gregory 501 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 5: I'm just saying I think the bum rap. 502 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm out, Jager, stop criticizing, all right. Todd Payton didn't 503 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: shy away from his decision to drop Jeremiah. 504 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 2: And I. 505 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 9: Yep, Jeremi is an elite attacking player and he needs 506 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 9: to improve some defensive parts of his game and he's 507 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 9: going to get some time in the Q Cup to 508 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 9: do that. 509 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 3: So it was an easy decision. 510 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 9: But yeah, it just felt was important for the group that, 511 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 9: you know, if we want to improve as a team, 512 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 9: defense's first and foremost there. 513 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: This is a big call from coach Peyton. 514 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: Jeremiah and I arguably one of the best back rollers 515 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: in our game dropped after round one. 516 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 10: It's one round though, one round. 517 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 3: It's not the first time he started the season slow. 518 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 3: I remember when they came back from like a tour 519 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: and he got all the jersey played for Queensland, plaid 520 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: for Australia and he came back slow. 521 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 4: You got to put in the hard work when you're 522 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 4: a second year, didn't he after he'd gone away on 523 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 4: the tour. 524 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 3: Yes, And it took in about eight to ten weeks 525 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 3: to find his form again, and I didn't know whether 526 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: he was going to play State of Origin. Well it's 527 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 3: happened again. 528 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 6: He's fearless Toddy peytonough, wasn't he because remember when he 529 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 6: first signed he got teal Mala off side by dragging 530 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 6: him off the field and he was getting fifteen to 531 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 6: twenty minutes. He got his gun player off side within 532 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 6: it at the first two weeks. Now skip forward a 533 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 6: couple of years he's got and then I dumped from 534 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 6: first grade after game one. 535 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 5: So whether Peyton's drop. 536 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: Not a great message. 537 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 3: So when you put all those jerseys and you're a 538 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 3: great player and you play rep footy and then you 539 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: get held accountable, I think it's a great like. It's 540 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: a great listen to the dressing room, especially with those 541 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: young kids. 542 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: They're not afraid to make the tough calls up in 543 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: North Queens And now our dynamic duo brought to you 544 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: by Vodaphone, the Dad's Army Halves of Hunt and Reynolds. 545 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: What a start it was for these two in round one, 546 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: lots of experience. Two classy little number sevens all seven 547 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: and six now seven and seven and seven. 548 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 5: Both were outstanding. 549 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 3: Gee, the Broncos looked hot, didn't they. 550 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: Hears and Carrigan through the middle led the way they 551 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 4: carved him up on both edges. Hunt was fantastic, Reynolds 552 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 4: was terrific. You think about long term when Ezra Man 553 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 4: comes back into the into the equation, what do they 554 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 4: do with him? I think it gives the Broncos an 555 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 4: advantage that probably they never would have got if Ezra 556 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 4: Man hadn't received the suspension he did. Because now we 557 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 4: know that Reynolds and Hunter getting on in years, potentially 558 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 4: they won't play every game in the season. It just 559 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 4: gives them another option, doesn't it. 560 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 5: But gee, wi sare going to be hard to be all. 561 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: Right, stick around journos, plea you want to come as 562 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: we count down to Super Saturday's blockbuster. 563 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 11: They've only been around since the eighties, Raiders and the 564 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 11: Broncos and how they've made their mark without doubt now 565 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 11: two of the great clubs, nine premierships between them, plus 566 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 11: long long honor rolls of champion footballs the Green Machines, 567 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 11: Laurie Daly, the current coach, Ricky Stewart, Bradley Clyde, Big, 568 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 11: mal Ma Ninger and Glenn Lazarus.
