After scintillating beginnings to season twenty 21 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: twenty five, allbeit on different sides of the world. Look 22 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: Out for Josh Popper, Papa Lee, Versus Paynhas McCarey, Horsbro 23 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: Big Red up against Pat Carrigan, and we're always looking 24 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: out for these flash fullbacks, Kyo Weeks and Reecee Walsh Walsh. 25 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: Flashiest of them all. 26 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: Seven point thirty Super Saturday Live and only on Fox League. 27 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: It's the Raiders and the Broncas chasing greatness the way 28 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: they always do. 29 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 3: Locald Tenner on three sixty right League from every angle, 30 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 3: joining me the great Gordon tell Us, Let's be Journal Australian, 31 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 3: James Hooper and Michael Carrianas And who would have thought 32 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 3: before round one that this was going to be the 33 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 3: match of the round after the Broncos obliterated the Roosters 34 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: and the Raiders lit up Vegas, Gordy, so. 35 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: Many great games between these two clubs are the nineties 36 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: pretty much both teams dominated and the way they've started 37 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 4: the season. The Raiders were probably one of the sides 38 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 4: of Vegas and Brisbane were absolutely outstanding as well, so 39 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 4: great clash. 40 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: You touched on those sides from the nineties, Gordy, the 41 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Green Machine and the Broncast. You could argue that those 42 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: two sides from that era they would survive in any 43 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: era of the game and go back as far as 44 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: you like, or he could play in the modern day 45 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: the superstars that were in both of those lineups, and 46 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: then you're fast forward to now and it's just such 47 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: a brilliant narrative with Ricky, who's a fierce competitor, and 48 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: Madge we know how passionate he is. They've played together, 49 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: they've coached together, now they coach against one another. Fascinating 50 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: duel me. 51 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're outstanding in Week one, both sides for different reasons. 52 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 5: The Raiders were just in complete control against the Warriors, 53 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 5: and I don't think there was a better side than 54 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 5: the Brisbane Broncos in Week one. They were their ball movement, 55 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 5: their speed, and the thing about the Broncos is if 56 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 5: they can't beat you out wide, they can beat you 57 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 5: through the power game. 58 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 6: They've got this rare ability to be able to do both. 59 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 3: They're bow sharp. Round one, they were quick, fast, meticulous 60 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: in the way that they played. I think the Raid 61 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: is surprised. I think everyone with there before they were 62 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: the team of Vegas and then the Broncos with their 63 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: first up performance with Madge at the Helm against the 64 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: Roosters were fantastic. Now, Madge V. You said, Madge V. 65 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: Sticky very similar in the way that they coach, very tough, 66 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: very competitive. They train hard themselves, they play hard. They're 67 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 3: aggressive with their players. What's their relationship like is is 68 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: there a bit of a rivalry here they be looking 69 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: forward to the challenge of coaches going head to head. Oh, 70 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: for sure, there's a rivalry. 71 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: They'll both want to win because that's what they are. 72 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: When you peel it all back, they are fierce competitors 73 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: and fierce winners. They went to the same high school 74 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: together in Canberra, so they've known each other since they 75 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: were teenagers at Saint Edmunds College. I can't wait for 76 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: this battle break. They're also both players coaches in that 77 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: they really care about their players and they get their 78 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: players to buy into what they're doing and really want 79 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: to bleed for the jumper. 80 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, there was an issue a couple of years ago 81 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 5: when Michael McGuire was on the Raiders coaching staff that 82 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 5: when he accepted the new South Wales job. I don't 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 5: Thinkricky was two pleas the way Michael McGuire went about it, 84 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 5: but I don't think that's lingered on for too long. 85 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: We'll find out on the weekend. Maybe Dylan Brown has 86 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: fronted up to explain his mega move to the Knights 87 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 3: with the thirteen Me and Dollar Man insisting money wasn't 88 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 3: the motivating factor. 89 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it was probably obviously gained some good 90 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 7: relationships here at the club, not only just the teammates, 91 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 7: but the new coaching star, everyone up in the front office. 92 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 7: You know, I've been in a long time now, so 93 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 7: there's relationships everywhere that I'm obviously going to miss. Might 94 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 7: have put a lot of faith in me. 95 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 3: And they obviously put ten years there in front of me. 96 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 7: I didn't think I was going to leave this club ever, 97 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 7: to be honest, I've been here a long time and 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 7: I've never really wanted to leave. But there's other reasons 99 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 7: to leaving. It's my family, it's my future. So the 100 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 7: game's not long and I'm trying to look after myself 101 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 7: my family. So I'm happy with my decision. Now. 102 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 6: Some people are saying that the Nights have paid overs 103 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 6: for what you've said to them. 104 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 7: Once again, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I play 105 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 7: the best that I can, and offers are obviously eve 106 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 7: been put in front of me, so I'll be silly 107 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 7: not to take it. Money's never really been a thing 108 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 7: for me. It's ten years security. Like I said before, 109 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 7: it's for my family, and it's for my future in 110 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 7: the game. I'm luck you said, they've got Caleb Punger 111 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 7: at the back, and you know Fletcher Sharp. He's an 112 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 7: amazing player too. So obviously looked at those people. 113 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: When I was making my decision, and yeah, I'm happy 114 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: to go join them. 115 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 7: A lot of the talking's actually been done by my manager, 116 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 7: so that's why what took so long to make the decision. 117 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 7: I wish I could have made it earlier to not 118 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 7: disrupt the start of the season, but yeah, I had 119 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 7: to take my time because it's obviously a pretty big deal. 120 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 6: Haven't ready causes in that contract? 121 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 3: I don't think that. 122 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 7: No, crazy ones, how much does this club mean to you? Honestly, 123 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 7: I've been here since I was fifteen. The decision wasn't easy, 124 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 7: and the fans were one of the reasons why. You know, 125 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 7: they've always backed me no matter what. You know, I 126 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 7: never wanted to leave, and I had a few discussions 127 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 7: with Parametter and they put for their. 128 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 3: Best contract and the nights was just too hard to 129 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: turn out ten years. 130 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 7: There's a lot of trust to have any one and 131 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 7: might have done that for me, has already done that 132 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 7: before and they just couldn't compete this time. But there's 133 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 7: nothing wrong with Parrots, you know, it's I still love them, 134 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 7: still the club I'm going to be playing for this year, 135 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 7: and I have a lot of respects. Obviously with you 136 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 7: now leaving that leads a bit of a hole. Is 137 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 7: that Is that something you weighed up in your decision 138 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 7: making the process? Look No, not really obviously. Like I said, 139 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 7: the opportunity for me was amazing, so I had to go. 140 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 7: But whoever comes in, I'm sure they do a good job. 141 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 7: And we've obviously got three young halves as well in 142 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 7: our team that can also step up next. Yes, So 143 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 7: you know, success doesn't happen overnight. So obviously when I 144 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 7: go there, it's going to be it's going to take 145 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 7: a while. Good things could happen. It might be a 146 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 7: bit rockie, but at the ever start, but you know, 147 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 7: we're going to obviously go there in the preseason and 148 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 7: focus on that then, but at the moment. You know, 149 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 7: I've got a season to focus on now, and I've 150 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 7: got to pay good footing. 151 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: There he is the man of the moment, Brown insisting 152 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 3: that it wasn't all about the money. Now, we can't 153 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: begrudge him for taking the deal more, there's no doubt 154 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: about that. But do we believe that it wasn't about 155 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 3: the money. 156 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: Well, it is about the money, because that's why we 157 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: all go to work. We go to work the own money. 158 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: But that's not Yeah, you can't hold grudges again. Seem 159 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: he got thirteen million dollars. Every player in the game 160 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 4: would have probably taken a deal. We had a couple 161 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 4: of players on yet last night and they would have 162 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: taken the deal as well. So it's it's not his fault. 163 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: I would have taken a deal as well. 164 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 5: I get what he means though, that it's not necessary 165 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 5: about the money that got the deal done. It's the 166 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 5: length of the contract, because I think if Paramatta went 167 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 5: to ten years on money less than what Newcastle Knights 168 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 5: off money no less than what Newcastle Knights offered, I 169 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 5: think he would have stayed. 170 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: So when he says, come on me, I think it's both. 171 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: I think it's definitely. 172 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 6: You're right, it's the length of the contract. That's what 173 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 6: he's talking about. The money's great, right, has he had 174 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 6: a long contract. 175 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 4: He had a long contract, But on the length of 176 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 4: the contract means that it's going to be millions, it's 177 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 4: going to. 178 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 5: Be Look, I understand all that, right, but I think 179 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 5: deep down, if Paramatta went near the offer, and particularly 180 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 5: the length of the deal, I think he stays at Paramatta. 181 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 5: So when he says it's not about the money, I 182 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 5: think he's indicating more towards the length of the deal 183 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: rather than as much as it was. 184 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: I think it is about the money. Of course, it's 185 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: about the money. You're right about the length of term. 186 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 1: But he was signed at Paramatter until the end of 187 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: twenty thirty one anyway, so he had guaranteed a long 188 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: term future at that joint. So I think, without a 189 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: doubt break of course, it's the cash, and then it's 190 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: also the fact that he's solidifies himself for. 191 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: The next ten seasons. He didn't need to explain anymore. 192 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: Like he said. He so contradicted himself because he said, 193 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: I want to set up my family and myself, and 194 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: that's fine, but it's not about the money. Well, it 195 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: is because you actually want to set up your family 196 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: and grudges. 197 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 6: Everyone's taking that deal right. 198 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: I didn't need to actually. 199 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 6: About the money. But I think what he meant was 200 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 6: the ten year deal that was too good to refuse. 201 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: No one, no one in there, no one else is 202 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: offering that. It's straight timing. 203 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, Paramtter weren't going to go ten years. They just won't. 204 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 6: They weren't going to do that. Had they had gone 205 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 6: to that on the money that was on, he might 206 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 6: have stayed. 207 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: Okay, Now, Knights Legends, they're not all on the same 208 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: page with this. Some like the fact that he's going 209 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: there and at that amount of money for that term deal, 210 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 3: and some don't. What does that say. 211 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 5: I don't think anyone's sitting here comfortable with the ten years. 212 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: I don't think anyone's going to say that's exactly what 213 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 5: they should have done. 214 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 6: It's what they needed to do. 215 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 5: But in an ideal world, they would have signed him 216 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 5: for five, six, seven years and not gone to the 217 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: ten years. So I can understand the criticism of it, 218 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 5: because but. 219 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 4: Why didn't they sign him for five SI he wouldn't 220 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 4: have gone, He wouldn't have gone. 221 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 6: He wouldn't have gone there. 222 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: He needed to turn his head, Gordy like they needed 223 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: a circuit breakout to be able to get him out 224 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: of where he was. 225 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 6: It wasn't about the money, because if he gave, if 226 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 6: they offered him. 227 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 3: For how long can we move on from it? 228 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: Clearly it's about the money. 229 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 6: It's about the length. Number one is the length. 230 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: It's also about the length. The length then the cash 231 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: had a massive fact of course. 232 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 5: Of course it does, right, but it's over the period. 233 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 5: So if you say, if they offered him six years, 234 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 5: would he have gone at that money? 235 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: He was sworn until twenty thirty, all right. 236 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 6: So they went to twenty thirty one at the same money, 237 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 6: would he have gone. 238 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: To a point where you know, because he's on a 239 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: million year anyway, right, So I'm sure Paramatta would have said, 240 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 3: we'll give you an extra hundred or something like that. 241 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 6: But I don't think that they wouldn't. I think that 242 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 6: was a million maybe. 243 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 5: I think it got to one point one at some 244 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 5: stage that deal, right that the current deal that he 245 00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 5: was on a pass. 246 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 8: Two hundred after over a few years. The length, yeah, well, 247 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 8: those extra years its significant. It is significant, no doubt. 248 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 8: But if Newcastle at the same length as Paramatter. He 249 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 8: stays at the elves and coming back to. 250 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 4: The old boys, right, I think Newcastle playing against them 251 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 4: in their heyday it was about all their or their 252 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 4: local juniors and that's what made their club tick and 253 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 4: they were playing for the community. Well, they got Ponger 254 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 4: and if they keep on signing these these big name kids, 255 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: which is fine because they want to win competitions, but 256 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 4: if they lose their local juniors and their identity, I 257 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 4: think that's that's the part. They've got to be careful 258 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 4: with the Knights. 259 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: It's a good point and the fact that it is 260 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: divided amongst the old boys that reflects the widespread reaction 261 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: around the game. There have been two schools of thought. 262 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: Some people in other rival clubs think it's complete madness. 263 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: When you actually get the calculator out, it works out 264 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: to be twenty three percent of Newcastle salary cap Dylan 265 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: Brown and Kyle and Ponger for the next. 266 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 6: Paramatter no, I. 267 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 5: Mean sorry, us will compete in against Paramatter. The offer 268 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 5: that was already on the table from Paramount. There was 269 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 5: no one else involved. It was either Newcastle Paramatter, but 270 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 5: Paramatta had that deal ready on the table for Dylan. 271 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 6: So that's what they'll competing against. 272 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: All ready reveals hybrid halfback plan. Can we explain this one? 273 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: It was in today's paper, dar Telegraphy. 274 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: I was a little bit confused by this breath. I 275 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: was going to come back to yourself because you played 276 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: in the Hearts. I've never heard of a hybrid halfback 277 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: position previously. But clearly what Newcastle have sold Dylan is 278 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: that Fletcher Sharp is going to be in the halves, 279 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: he'll partner him, and then Calen Palmer is going to 280 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: be the fullback. 281 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: How that all fits together? I read this this morning 282 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 3: and I believe because Dylan. First thing, if you're a 283 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: six and you going to a new club on a 284 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 3: long term deal, you're asking who the seven is going 285 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 3: to be. So I believe that's what he would have done. 286 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: He would have said, we who's going to be playing seven? 287 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: And they're trying to sell sharfter him and obviously Caln's 288 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: an easy sell. I mean it speaks for he speaks 289 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: for himself. So they've probably put a game plan to 290 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: him that suggests that he can play like a seven 291 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: six and then share that with Sharp and Ponger and responsibilities, 292 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: you know, both across the park. 293 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 4: You've been a grade six. How important is a seven? 294 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 4: I watched Alon Lager combined with Lori daily, two of 295 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: the greats. It didn't work, but Ricky and Laurie working, 296 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: Elf and Kevy work, you know two V and Kiffy 297 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 4: Lyons work. 298 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: It's it's I think it's very important. You know, whenever 299 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 3: I played my best my career, I had branch Sha 300 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 3: and inside of me. He was completely controlling the kicking 301 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 3: game and game plans along with myself, but he was 302 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 3: the dominant one there, especially with his kicking game and 303 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 3: getting in the forwards obviously had a good forward pack. 304 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: And the other example is Andrew John's in Origin. When 305 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 3: I played with him, it was like he controlled the 306 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: team like it was like a game of chess for him. 307 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: He was three or four steps ahead, and I just 308 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 3: had to worry about my job at six, which made 309 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: it so much easier. 310 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned Joey because this is aside from 311 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: the money and the length of term that Dylan saw 312 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: for He's going to have to wear that seven jumper. 313 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen here. And the Brown camp 314 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: are now quite actively pushing the fact that he actually 315 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: came through throughout the juniors as a halfback, as did 316 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,599 Speaker 1: Fletcher Sharp as well. He played the predominantly all of 317 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: his football in the halves until he was shifted the wing. 318 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 3: Of seven or six. 319 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: Seven, Well, well for Brown, let's stick with Brown. 320 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 3: For Brown, right, he was a seven. 321 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: So the question is going to be if he's going 322 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: to wear that jumper that Joey has made famous and 323 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: they haven't won a premiership since Joey last war that 324 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: jumper all the way back in two thousand and one, 325 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: how's this hybrid halfback role going to work? Surely you 326 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: can't be half in half out when it comes to 327 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: who's the dominant half The word. 328 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 5: That us control, who's controling that side, who's running that side? 329 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: That's going to be because why I mentioned Sharp is 330 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: because Sharp as great as he's playing at the moment, 331 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: and he will continue because I think he's a great talent. 332 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: He's a runner, He's the furthest thing from a control half, 333 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: like you know, look at him. He's taking dummy ass 334 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: scoots on the weekend and he was getting quick play 335 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: of the balls. He was making meters and he was 336 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: eating them up and he's got to be in the team. 337 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: But you know, Dylan has shown in the past that 338 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 3: it's not his strong point, like you know Moses when 339 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: he's been out in the success rates being poor on 340 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: the weekend we saw it against Melbourne, like he didn't 341 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: take control. It's not his natural game. So I don't 342 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: think we should read too much in the Ready's article 343 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: into the hybrid thing. I think that was them trying 344 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: to sell to deal and listen, come to the club, 345 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: will work it out. This is our ideas and Blake 346 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 3: Green mind you, because I spoke with Blake not throughout 347 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 3: the offseason in terms of a few players I've got, 348 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 3: and I spoke to the club about him. They've got 349 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: big wraps on him and all the players love him 350 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: and he's he's highly regarded as one of the best 351 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: up and coming coaches coming through and he's obviously specialized 352 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 3: on the halfs. So I think Blake, if he can 353 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 3: get his you know, he's mind ticking over the this 354 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: year in the pre season. He brings he holds a 355 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 3: lot of power and value up there in Newcastle. I 356 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 3: think he can work out a system and a way 357 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: of which they can bring Dylan in and get the 358 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 3: most out of him, but he's going to have to 359 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 3: change the way that he plays. I think, yeah, you're 360 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: spot on it. 361 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: I think the hybrid half is a spin because they've 362 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: got to try and keep the side together this year, 363 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: and they tried eleven different halves combinations last year not 364 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: really any of them worked. 365 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: And they want to please the other two they're talking 366 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: about as well. You know, they want to keep them 367 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: happy and make sure that they you know, they are 368 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 3: comfortable with Dylan coming. 369 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 4: Okay, Brath, you were sixth if he went to seven, 370 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 4: how long would it take you? 371 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 3: It takes time. It takes It's like, you know, you 372 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: look at the grade sevens, even the great sevens, like 373 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: how long is clearly is actually an exception to the rule. 374 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 3: Like he has peaked very good and just gone to 375 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: John's all of them like he's like they all look 376 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: at Joey and JT. They all play their best late 377 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: twenties early thirties for Cooper Krong, all of them. So 378 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: there's a lot of work to be done then. Now, 379 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: despitely any a prize signing for next season, nice coach 380 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: Adam O'Brien wasn't in the mood to talk about it. 381 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: Adam will just get out of the way. 382 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 9: Killan Brown. 383 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of talk about him. What do 384 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 3: you like that? 385 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 9: And as a player, I'm not talking about Dylan Brown. 386 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 9: I'm willing to talk about the Dolphins round one here. 387 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 9: The Dylan Brown situations got a process to go through, 388 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 9: and I reckon I'll respect that process outside of the process. 389 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 8: So him maturely is a player that you've seen in 390 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 8: a cross seasons and across games. 391 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 3: Com up against you who talk to me about his style? 392 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 9: Is there anything Joe watching, I'll find a different way 393 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 9: to give you the same answer. I'll talk about the 394 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 9: Dolphins and Tomorrow night. For now, we'll talk about Dylan. 395 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 9: I understand their question, but the club there will come 396 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 9: a time and place to talk about Dylan, But right 397 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 9: now I'm focused on Tomorrow night with the halves that 398 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 9: we have there. 399 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: kJ O Brien very hesitant to talk about the prize 400 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 3: signing of Dylan Brown. Yeah, I suppose. I understand they 401 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: want to focus on this week's game and they want 402 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: to be seen to be focusing on that to the 403 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: other players in the group, and there's a job at hand. 404 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 3: But I would have thought just maybe a quick touch, 405 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: quick look. It's a huge signing for the club. It's 406 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: a massive moment. 407 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: We'll get through it when he arrives as all over 408 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: the summer, but for now we're focused on the immediate. 409 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: We've got a game tomorrow. 410 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 3: Getting through it, right, spreading around here, But. 411 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: I think you'd be naive to think as if the 412 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: dressing room isn't speaking about it every five seconds. So 413 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: I think you probably could have handled that just a 414 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: little bit different. 415 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the only thing is to bracepoint exactly. 416 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 5: They played the Dolphins tomorrow and the fact that you know, 417 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 5: Paramounta probably hadn't officially waived waved the ten day cooling 418 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 5: off periods, So maybe they're a little bit they will 419 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 5: go into a year whether or not they're formally work 420 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 5: they're going to do it. 421 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, And they would have like it wouldn't have just 422 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 3: a Brian saying this is how we're going to do it. 423 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: They would have had a meeting with Peter Parker and 424 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: you know everyone up there said how were going to 425 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: handle this today? Yeah? 426 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 5: Of course it is delicate for the Knights there at 427 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 5: the moment, right because you've got a half back Jack 428 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 5: Holu probably went, you know, won't start. The guy's been 429 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 5: brought in over the top, and then you've got guys 430 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 5: that are on the way out. Jaden Brayley is going 431 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 5: to can brother Jackson Hastens won't be there, Adam Elliot, 432 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 5: Jack Heatherington. So it's a tiptoe line here now for 433 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 5: the Newcastle Knights on regarding how they approach this season 434 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 5: knowing that they've got this Marque guy coming right now. 435 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 3: If they lose Ponger, this is you know, let's talk 436 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 3: about this because there's there is rumors still that Kaylon 437 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 3: is one hundred happy and we're not just making this 438 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: up right papers again, He's in the papers again. You know, 439 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 3: other reporters have reported on it, and the rumors have 440 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: been going for a while now. And I think I think, firstly, 441 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 3: because Brown goes there, does that mean Calen definitely stays? 442 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: And what happens if that's not the case and Calen leaves, 443 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 3: you know, like he's that a possibility? 444 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: What do we think We signed until the end of 445 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven at the moment, caln so he's got 446 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: the rest of this year plus two, that's all locked away. 447 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: But we have seen over the years that at stages 448 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: if players do become agitated and they decide that they're 449 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: not happy with the direction of the club, then they 450 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: will try and manipulate and find a way to possibly 451 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: exit early. You're right, Braith, it has been in the papers, 452 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: it continues to go around that possibly the Roosters are 453 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: looking at him. I think the primary reason for that 454 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: link is that one of their football managers at the moment, 455 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: one of their recruitment officers, Clinton Zammett, has had a 456 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: huge involvement with Calen all throughout the course of his career, 457 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: dating back to the Cowboys, then also with his most 458 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: recent deal at the Knights. 459 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 3: Now he's at the Children. I think that was the 460 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 3: one that got Calen to Newcastle, that big signing from 461 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 3: the Cowboys the young gun, right, was that right? 462 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: I think he signed him initially at the Cowboys right 463 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: then he did his most recent deal at newcast so 464 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: he made him the highest paid back. 465 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 466 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 5: So I think Newcastle more worried about Callan going to 467 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 5: go play rugby than to a rival an roll club 468 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 5: that they don't hear. They've heard the innuendo of course externally, 469 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 5: but internally they're quite comfortable with their position. But back 470 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 5: to your point, if he does leave, I don't think 471 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 5: the Dylan Brown signed and. 472 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 4: The way he played on the weekend, if I'm a 473 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 4: Knights fan, I don't believe it. He had a Red 474 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 4: Holk crack. Yeah you know, I mean so so, the 475 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 4: way he put his body on the line, I don't 476 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 4: think that he wants to stay the Knights. Fingers crossed 477 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: for Knights fans. 478 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: Last year, you two had a little bit of a 479 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: few going the Banker and the bean with the paramos, 480 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: the board members. 481 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 5: But it's already rubbed off because he's getting the calculator 482 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 5: out with Brown, percentage of the salary cap is back on. 483 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 3: No, we're all good, I still think. 484 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: And this Dylan Brown signing vindicates it. That contracts the 485 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: worst contract in the history of the game, putting those 486 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: clauses in it because it wasn't a nine year deal, 487 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: it was essentially only a two year deal. And now 488 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: because of that asterisk, he's exercised the option and he's 489 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: ultimately gone to another club. 490 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 5: Too many players with too many clauses, there's no doubt 491 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 5: about that, right, and they know that they had too 492 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 5: many players. 493 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 4: Like so clubs have handcuffs on them because they need 494 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 4: to sign the player. Is there a chance that the 495 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 4: NRL step in and go, we're not going to register 496 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: any clauses, Like, we've got to give something back to 497 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 4: the fans. I heard Peter VLANDI sit here and say 498 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 4: the fans are like, Man, I've listened to players, but 499 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 4: I wanted to listen to the fans. Do you think 500 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 4: the fans like this? It's round one. We're talking about 501 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 4: players moving around when they got two years. 502 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: A great idea. 503 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: God, I'd love to see it happen. If the NRL 504 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: did decide, you know what, from now on there are 505 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: no more exit options or anything like that. A deal 506 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: is a deal you signed from twenty twenty five until 507 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. 508 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 3: Three years. I hope not, because they will have a 509 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 3: boring tariff. Keep those pauses coming business year, all right. 510 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 3: The nrol's new ruling on coaches talking about referees say 511 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: half the game. 512 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 5: Andrew Abdo send this email out to all club chief 513 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 5: executives on Monday, and he essentially told him that any 514 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 5: coach or official that makes a comment regarding the referees 515 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 5: or match officials after the game will face sanctions. So 516 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 5: we've seen it probably what three or four years ago 517 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 5: where Todd Greenberg came out and had a blanket rule. 518 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 5: So and you cannot talk about coaches, referees, whatsoever. And 519 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 5: for that season or two it's sort of, you know, 520 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 5: we didn't really speak here the coaches speak about the referees. 521 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 5: And then the last you know, twelve months or twenty 522 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 5: four months, it's gone back to the way the original 523 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 5: rule was, where as long as you didn't slam them 524 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 5: or you know, talk about their reputation, you got away 525 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 5: with it. 526 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: Right, Well, are we going to go back to the 527 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: bad old days with DESI? Let's have a look. 528 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 10: Comes to understanding the policy about he's whose name you 529 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 10: cannot mention. 530 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 4: So let's callin Valdemoret. 531 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 10: I clearly understand the policy paragraphs thirty one sub course 532 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 10: to the comment on moons. Just that so you can't 533 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 10: say anything nice about them, you can't say anything positive 534 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 10: about them, you can't say anything about the bolden Woods. 535 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 10: It's just going to follow the policy about it. Here's 536 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 10: whose name we cannot mention. That's what they think is 537 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 10: pragmatic and reasonable. If you're never good for free speech, 538 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 10: it's not too good. 539 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 5: That press conference, and as the question i'd never watched 540 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 5: Harry Potters, I wrang, I've got no idea what is 541 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 5: going on about here? But that's that's the situation we're 542 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 5: going to find ourselves in, right, the fact that the 543 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 5: coaches are going to have to try and tiptoe around 544 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 5: this because we're still going to. 545 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 3: Ask the questions what's the reasoning behind me? 546 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 5: In that email, Andrew Abdough points to media attention and 547 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 5: negative fans engagement. 548 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 4: I don't think it helps. I really don't think it helps. 549 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 4: Gone to junior rugby league. It does filter down, even 550 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: though they're two totally different games, right, one so fun 551 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 4: and one is professionally there. But I don't Every single 552 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 4: losing coach has to talk about a decision not there. 553 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 4: And I think it's only going to help the referees 554 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 4: and will help the game really personally. Yes, well, because 555 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 4: the first comte yes, one of the first coming and 556 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 4: I've got hitty on was with Laney Laney and the 557 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 4: John Lane told me something. He goes, how's it going 558 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 4: to change his decision next? 559 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: It's not. It's not so like you know, all access right, 560 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 3: like the fans actually want to see press conferences and 561 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 3: see what's the drama, and it's all about TV watching. 562 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 4: It's not going to stop fans from talking about it. 563 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 4: It's going to stop coaches from blaming the loss on it. 564 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 3: But Gaudy were both. 565 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: Old enough and ugly enough to remember saying I hope 566 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: the Cemit truck hits Bill Harrigan on the way hard. 567 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,239 Speaker 1: Those days are long long gone and we're never going 568 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: to go back anywhere near that. But I still think 569 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: that it is fair enough. If it's a nine to 570 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: one penalty count, I think that's a legitimate question. Or 571 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: if there's an incident like what happened on the weekend 572 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: with the penalty try with Stephen Crichton and Christian Topolotto. 573 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: Well that's a legitimate question of press conference, and the 574 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: coaches are entitled to answer. 575 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 4: Honestly, I agree, and so that decision I need an 576 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 4: explanation for on Monday. 577 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 5: But apparently they can't say any of that, right, so 578 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 5: you guys can't even ask the quill. 579 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 6: Still we can ask it, and it would be up 580 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 6: to the coaches to see how they tipped. 581 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 3: Around, throw the fishing right out and try and get 582 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 3: one of them. 583 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 4: Fine, start watching Harry Potter, All right, any. 584 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 3: News on Brandon Smiths. 585 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, as we've been saying for the past week, I 586 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: think all roads are definitely leading to Heafron Park and 587 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: the South Sidney Rabbits. Crazy to think given the rivalry 588 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: between the Chuks and the Bunnies over the years, but 589 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: the way it's shaping up at the moment, South's are 590 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: just having a look at Brandon's medical records over the 591 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: course of the next week or two. I think this 592 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: deal in all likelihood will be done within the next fortnight. 593 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: It'll be a two year contract for twenty six and 594 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven, and I think that in all likelihood Brandon 595 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: plays hooker so he fits into the dummi half roll 596 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: at South Sydney, and then it'll be a matter of 597 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: whether the Roosters and Souths can break bread to a 598 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: degree and agree to some sort of uneasy truce for 599 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: Brandon to possibly leave early if the Roosters are open 600 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: to that. But the roosters would have to be open 601 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: to it. 602 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 4: It would be a crazy deal for Saus, wouldn't it 603 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 4: coming back from an A C L not going to 604 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: be at your best. 605 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 5: On how much you have to put in it. All 606 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 5: depends on the price. They're not going to be able 607 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 5: to stump up too much for this year and. 608 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: I can't and ther is paying sous. 609 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting because initially they said absolutely 610 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: point blank noway last year, but there's a view that 611 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: that might have softened to a degree and that maybe 612 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: they just want to go in a completely different direction. 613 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: To your point, Gordy about whether it's good turning or not, 614 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: I actually think it can be. Like Brandon, he was 615 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: a deem good player at the Melbourne Storm, He's a 616 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: premiership winner. He hasn't forgotten how to play. For whatever reason, 617 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: it hasn't worked out at the Chucks, but I think 618 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: change of environment, different coach. 619 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 3: Could be very good. Sill down a little bit on this. 620 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 3: He was a highly touted you know, arguably by the 621 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 3: year at the time the Roosters to sign Brendan Smith 622 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: from Melbourne. He was starting behind Harry Grant in Melbourne. 623 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 3: He believed he was a starting nine at a premier club. 624 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 3: The Roosters go and pay big dollars for him, and 625 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 3: now it ends like this, it's. 626 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 5: Kind of but they got it wrong, right. You can 627 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 5: sit down and dissect this sign and all you like, 628 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 5: they got that one wrong. And it's interesting the fact 629 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 5: that he was going to go to the Dolphins under 630 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 5: Wayne Bennett and it was only a meeting with Trent 631 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 5: Robinson which swayed him late to join the Roosters. 632 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 6: But it hasn't worked out for either party. 633 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 5: And it goes back to the question is you know, 634 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 5: I honestly think he's a better running thirteen than he 635 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 5: will work at the house. 636 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: Then I think Wayne Bennett's got a great track record 637 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: with players who have had challenges and have had hurdles, 638 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: and he'd hurdles and gone a little bit sideways. 639 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: It's proven it is scoring. 640 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: You've seen it first. 641 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 4: I've seen the. 642 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: O become an acl and an over the course of 643 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: the last nine months. 644 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: But I just get to feel confirm they're buying him 645 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 3: as a nine to two. That's what I got told. 646 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 4: But in my opinion right, Brandon Smith's never been an 647 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 4: eighty minute player. When you watch him at Melbourne Storm, 648 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 4: Harry Grant played or Cameron Smith, he'd come on and 649 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 4: for that thirty minutes we just go well, like the 650 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 4: one bat he'd be burrowing through with he'd either like 651 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 4: take a hit up where you do a second dummy 652 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 4: half runt. He wasn't a guy starting settling his way 653 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 4: into a game, kicking and passing. He was just a 654 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 4: pure that's what and then that's what they bought and 655 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 4: try to turn him into an eighty minute player. I 656 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 4: think he's a I think he's a great thirty to 657 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 4: forty minute player. 658 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,239 Speaker 3: All right. Now, does the pressure start to ramp up 659 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 3: on Benji if the Tigers don't start winning games. 660 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: That. 661 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: I say that for a few reasons, because look at 662 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 3: the jaw they've got, right, They've got a pretty good draw, 663 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 3: as you can say are here. They're coming up against 664 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 3: Paramounta this weekend. They had a strong started the last year. 665 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 3: Last week sorry against the Knights, I couldn't get it done, 666 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 3: which is okay because they're a new team now, they've 667 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 3: got Buller and Chorus are coming back in. They've got 668 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: their strongest, arguably the strongest lineup that they can put 669 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 3: on a footy field. If they start, you know, one 670 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: from three, there's going to be. 671 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: Pressure, right, no question, bra Look, it's going to be 672 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: one of the bigger narratives of the year. I think 673 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: Shane Richardson said over the course of the summer that 674 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: with those two players you just mentioned there, Jerream Buller 675 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: and Happy Corus, how neither of which played last week. 676 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: I think he labeled at the best sport. Yeah, so 677 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot of one of the responds 678 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: in the competition and on Yeah, I think we'll give 679 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: in the benefit of the but you do look at 680 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: that spot and look it's a lait app. He's a 681 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: premiership winner, Jerames, a premiership winner, dreams an emerging star 682 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: as his lucky Galvin. So you're they have got an 683 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: easier draw to start the year off the back of 684 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: three wooden spoons, so there's no doubt they have to win. 685 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 3: This is by no means do I think they're going 686 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 3: to have a poor start. I don't actually think they'll 687 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 3: win a fair few of these games. I'm only saying 688 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 3: that the scenario with the squad they've got, the draw 689 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 3: they've got, it's only going to get harder as a season. 690 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 4: They need wins Broncos and Chucks. They should back themselves 691 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 4: to win every other game. You would think if I'm 692 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 4: a Tigers fan and if I'm a Tiger's player, Yeah. 693 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 5: They had reasons for their poor attack last week, but 694 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 5: they didn't have reasons for their poor defense, and that 695 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 5: was the concerning thing, because you know, you pull the 696 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 5: one and nine out of any starting spine and your 697 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 5: attack's going to be disjointed. Lewi and Galvin haven't had 698 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 5: a lot of reps to together because Louis had that 699 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 5: injury after that Army camp. 700 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 6: But that defense was poor and that's what they need 701 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 6: to fix. 702 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. I know it's only around two, but it is 703 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 3: a huge game for the West Tigers already. Now I 704 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 3: keep playing matchups brought to you by Ossie Broadband. 705 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: A huge game, the four time premiers up against the Chucks, 706 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: and the Chucks are really up against it. I'm saying 707 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: New South Wales and Kangaroo team mates Angus Crichton and 708 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: Liam Martin, both edge back rowers, probably the two best 709 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: backgrowers in the competition. How much of an influence Angus 710 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: can have given all the troops that the Chucks are missing. 711 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: Not sure, but that'll be a hell. 712 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 3: Of a battle. 713 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, this one's gone under the radar a little bit. 714 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 5: The Sofiti boys get to go head to head against 715 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 5: each other for the first time tomorrow night. I've spoken 716 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 5: with Daniel for tomorrow's paper and they said that the 717 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 5: boys have made a pack first kickoff, they're going straight 718 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 5: for each other, so stay tuned for that one. 719 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 3: Good looking forward to that. Thank you Mit, are you hoops? 720 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 3: That's Danny? Thank you to the journals up next to 721 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: the Legends Agenda with Billy Moore and Jeff too.
