89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 6: certainly the greatest final series and arguably the greatest Grand Final.

90
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 6: Both sides are up for it. There's a lot of hurdles.

91

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,279

93
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 5: fourteen or twelve against Penrith ten last night. Someone told

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: me today they only led in finals for about thirty minutes,

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: but they just kept coming home, coming am hard and

96
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 5: deserved premise.

97
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was great game, Breath and obviously we'll get

98
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 8: on the res Falce later that I mean, he was

99
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 8: unbelievable and Melbourne had it in the bag of twenty

100
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 8: to twelve at half time. They probably should have won

101
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 8: it from there, but you can't kick this Brisbane side down.

102
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: They're unbelievable.

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,040

105
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 6: Our game, our great game, well, most points at halftime,

106
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 6: I thought it was entertaining. I you know, everybody might

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 6: have a comment on a referee, but I thought the

108
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 6: players sorted it out.

109
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: The fatigue that come into the game later. I know

110
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: there was injuries and the guy that got the DLM.

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: I thought it's probably one of the greatest performances ever,

112
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 6: so I rank it up there.

113
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to put him.

114
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,440

115
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 6: guys at are one Grand Finals, but it certainly would

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,520

163
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 5: Holiday and look the print media press box. I was

164
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: sitting here and Brent was sitting here. I know you

165
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: were cheering for Storm.

166
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: That's incorrect.

167
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 8: This I raised some concerns of some calls early in

168
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 8: that game, got the brawl. They just happened to be

169
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 8: against the Storm.

170
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: That was just a quick we'll get to it.

171
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: But what is important here is the Grand Final smashes

172
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: a f L with record ratings. What does this say

173
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 2: about the season and the NRL where it stands right now?

174
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 5: You asked was the best Grand Final. Where is it rank?

175
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: I reckon? This is up there with the best final

176
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: series I've ever seen. The television rating last night was

177
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 5: four point five million. Now that blew the a fell

178
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 5: out of the park, nearly half a million, more than

179
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: the AFL Grand Final with Snoop Dogg and all the

180
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 5: works the week before. Now, high than Maths, which is

181
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 5: one hour shows. It's of yours well, it's among the

182
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 5: top rating shows in the country. High than State of Origin,

183
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: even the Decider, higher than the Australian urb and Tennis,

184
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: higher than anything we've seen on television this year. The

185
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 5: highest ever rugby league game.

186
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: What do you put that down? You've been covering the

187
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: game longer than all of us.

188
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: I put it down to there's a lot of things

189
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 5: called you take half an hour that the start we

190
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 5: get in Vegas, and the new eyeballs that brings to

191
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 5: rugby league, and there's people stay stay connected.

192
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: To our game.

193
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 5: And you look at the ratings in Melbourne last night,

194
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 5: there are only one hundred and fifty thousand less than Brisbane,

195
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 5: which is an iconic rugby league. So we've won Melbourne over.

196
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 5: And then there's a fellow called Reese walf It is

197
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: the most popular player ever.

198
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: That's a big part of it.

199
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: The personality is playing the game at the moment, and

200
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: a lot of it's got to do with the leadership too,

201
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: and Andrew, they've done.

202
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: Seriously, we are so lucky and we had Arthurson and

203
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: Quay and we had Gallop and we've had all those people.

204
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 5: But the shape the game is in right now.

205
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: I think the product on the field, like both Gordy.

206
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, so when Souds played, Titans are playing for a

207
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 6: wooden spoon, wining against Daisy and if they were the

208
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 6: two worst teams.

209
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: In the competent, actually get your foot in another kid

210
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: flattering shirt.

211
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, we got a pink shirt on it and

212
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: they've got bright green shoes on. Are you colored?

213
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 5: I was just pressing them the power are you talking about?

214
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 8: I was just telling them how they get game could

215
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 8: be approved next year advice.

216
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Really cared.

217
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 8: They But you're right about those two guys and missions

218
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 8: there as well. Missus is doing on the great medium

219
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 8: and league dips mate. I mean, Andrew and Peter are

220
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 8: doing an amazing job at the moment. Obviously we're heading

221
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 8: into this era of expansion and they've taken the game

222
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 8: overseas and I think they're doing an amazing job of

223
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 8: the game.

224
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: All right, our top story brought to you by the

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: by d Shark six And what else would it be?

226
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: Reese Walsh what a performance? Take a bow?

227
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: Was it the best performance individually by a player in

228
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: the history of again in a Grand Final.

229
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 6: I think it's the longest performance. I think there's been

230
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 6: some amazing performances, but not for eighty minutes. From my gotaway,

231
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 6: look Reese. People talk about when Reese doesn't have the footy.

232
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 6: I think his biggest three plays were the chase on Papenhausen,

233
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: the collision with Kamakamika, and then the last tackle in

234
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 6: the last minute on Papenhouse and when he threw the

235
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 6: dummy on Katowa and makes it their three amazing defensive plays.

236
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 5: Brody, I'd say it's the best. And to say that

237
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: when I saw clearly a couple of years ago, last

238
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: seventeen minutes beat Penrith, when he just took an unwinnable

239
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 5: Grand Final away from them, he was That was Billy

240
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: Slater and more last night, and people like Ray Warren

241
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 5: on record of saying Billy Slater was better than Changa

242
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 5: Graham Chang of l Englands and Immortal, and that was

243
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 5: up there with anything Billy Slade was ever done in

244
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: any game his entire career.

245
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 8: I think it's the most I called the most complete

246
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 8: performance we're seeing a long time. As you said, Gordy

247
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 8: wasn't just with the balls what he did without the ball.

248
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 8: I looked up the Clive Churchills just perform and there's

249
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 8: a couple of come to mind, g I and seven

250
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 8: outstanding and Joey and O one probably were two that

251
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 8: stand out. But I think this one in terms of

252
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 8: big moments, owing the big moments on the biggest stage.

253
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,599
Speaker 8: I mean, no one's done about all that.

254
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: The only thing they had to do was win at

255
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: half time.

256
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 6: I reckon he had enough, like just watching highlights and

257
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 6: moments and big games are about moments, but he had

258
00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 6: the middle a half.

259
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 5: There's such seeing as a one man full team. We

260
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 5: got to tell you something. The three swaths for somebody

261
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 5: in that Brisbane so they get knocked out against Camber

262
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago in the Nationally.

263
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: There's no disrespect to any other former five Churchill winner.

264
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: And I'll agree with all of.

265
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: You, like from every grand follow of watchince I was born,

266
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: which is every one of them. This was the best

267
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: performance and this was the moment because at this time

268
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: Melbourne were in full control, full control, and they needed

269
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 2: someone to stand up.

270
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: He stood up all night. But this was one of

271
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: the best individual solo efforts tries that you will ever

272
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: see in a Grand Final.

273
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 6: But he was organized so and I saw footage he's

274
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 6: out the back, organized and talking to the center out

275
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 6: there on.

276
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: The right, telling him like they come under.

277
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 6: So he's organized on a play season opportunity and his

278
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 6: reaction time that's one of the.

279
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 5: Greatest business to scored that try that he had no

280
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: business to do it. There was enough defense there to

281
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 5: stop a couple of players so brilliant, so strong.

282
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: I believe he has a potential to be one of

283
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: the best players that's ever played our game.

284
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: And I tell you back to in Vegas.

285
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: I've said it a few times on this show when

286
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: he played over there in Vegas a couple of years ago,

287
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: and watching him in the flesh and watching the speed

288
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: and the way that he glides and the way he

289
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: changes directions at speed, the way that he holds the

290
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: ball out in the front, can play short all along

291
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: at any given time, and even his only deficiency was

292
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: his defense, and last night he was first class. But

293
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: again being at the game, which I don't get too

294
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: often these days, being in studio here at Fox and

295
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: watching him at the speed at which like at halftime,

296
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: oh down, And I said to my mate, I was

297
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: next to you. I said, this is far from over.

298
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: Because every time he touched it he was electric. He

299
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: was he was always going to play a big part

300
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: in this game.

301
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: And let's have a look at his defense.

302
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: It's happened because if anyone has been critical of him,

303
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: this was a big moment.

304
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 6: Gordy, Well, they chase, right, said Papenhausen.

305
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: But that's tackle one.

306
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: So Papen has a good numb better but that chase

307
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 6: and on the by and I don't think that it's

308
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 6: all always been and is, but Papa hows and comes

309
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 6: across the field, spots the back rower goes through and

310
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 6: Reese is on his bike and for all money, like

311
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 6: you think, oh he's going to score, and Reeese kept

312
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 6: on coming.

313
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: But it's everything about him.

314
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: No break.

315
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: This was a big one because you know it's a

316
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: two on one essentially and he makes.

317
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: That's anticipation.

318
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 5: You know, that's incredible. Thing is six weeks ago promise

319
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 5: ship Monday night, we're sitting here saying the Blakes rocks

320
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 5: and diamonds. But he's got to become more diamonds and

321
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 5: he has to become more diamonds when it really counts.

322
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 5: He's picking his moments three now, so your developed did

323
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 5: you imagine in two or three years?

324
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: No, I can't. He's different. Do you think that Margine

325
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: guy has had a lot to do with these guys?

326
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: Madge McGuire, are we on the Madge I'm talking about

327
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: We'll get you.

328
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 6: And I just talk about Reees. Just for one thing,

329
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 6: I'll tell you Nathan Brown had he met the Warriors,

330
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 6: I'm going to go to a coach and a bloke

331
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 6: and play with, said Gordy. This kid, this was said

332
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 6: like I think he was young. He said, Oh my god,

333
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 6: if he wants to adapt and put his you know,

334
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 6: you get those guys with talent, but to get his

335
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 6: mind to it. You played with guys with so much talent,

336
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: So to get him to want to do this right

337
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 6: and be the team player that he's turned out to be.

338
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: I think there's all.

339
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 5: Serves a lot of credible. I think one of the

340
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: best parts of Reese Welsh's speech last night he paid

341
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 5: tribute to.

342
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: But we're going to get we just give some credit

343
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: here because he played under Kevy last year and played

344
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: nothing like this, So let's get that straight.

345
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: There's not a Mage beater, right.

346
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 6: But he got knocked out twice horribly Tailor Maye and

347
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 6: then so like, and then he was injured, so to

348
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 6: come back no is that he had last year. Young

349
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 6: kids need time, and I think getting as many games

350
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 6: underneath his belt this year, and even when he was

351
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 6: injured at the beginning of the year, he Reese wasn't

352
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 6: playing his best. But Madge has done a great job

353
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 6: to watch, I'll tell you it is those two wingers

354
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 6: have turned into first class high performance. I think Mariner

355
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 6: has improved out of side those and when you see

356
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 6: a coach those guys that are on the bench and

357
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 6: of those those one hundred, they've improved, they've probably doubled them.

358
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

359
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: But I'll also say that if Madge isnt coach, I'm

360
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: not sure if those two wings a player in that game,

361
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: because Cobbo and Arthur's were the preferred, and he dropped

362
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 2: Cobbo and he dropped Arthur's to put the two wingers

363
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: in there.

364
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: Magedy that that was Mage's decision.

365
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 5: I'm anxious to get to Madge and talk about him

366
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 5: and talk him up like you wonders to Mate. I'm

367
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 5: not taking anything away Heathington.

368
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: I just I just think he's very important.

369
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: It's very important to give Madge the credit because I

370
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: don't think he's got enough on this panel. That's my opinion.

371
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: Can disagree, Yeah, well I do disagree with you, and

372
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: that's fine. Let's get to the shot. Reese Walsh, the

373
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: hit that he put on I think it was coach,

374
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: was it?

375
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: Yes?

376
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: Now this was debatable. Maybe I thought he should have

377
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: got ten minutes in the bin. I thought any other

378
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: game this season, Reese Walsh is straight off.

379
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: That was much just my take on it. And Camber

380
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: he goes to the bin probably last week he goes, well,

381
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: maybe not to the bin.

382
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 5: I thought a head button Canberra.

383
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was ten minutes.

384
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 4: Personally, my initial reaction was at the game, SimBin.

385
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: I look at it now and.

386
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 8: There's pretty significant mitigation here. As OVID coaches four, he's

387
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 8: down on one knee when he hits him. Look, he's

388
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 8: fallen a long way, and they take into account mitigation

389
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 8: in these circumstances. And I think in that situation there's

390
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 8: significant mitigation where they.

391
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 5: Didn't fall a long way tee, where they didn't take

392
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 5: mitigation into account. Origin one at the stadium last year.

393
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: Not going back to that, no, but just.

394
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 5: That you listen to mine was off his feet and

395
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 5: lost control over because he was falling. It doesn't matter

396
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 5: with your fault. The onus, as you know, is on

397
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 5: the defender. You just cannot be sitting here as seriously safety.

398
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 5: I'm only doing continue used to stupid analogy.

399
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: Super.

400
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: Analogy.

401
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: Does he get hit in the head? You're comparing the

402
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: I've got two things. Does he get hit in the head? Yes,

403
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: but shoulders of forget hit gets told every week as

404
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: a fan did he get hit in the head?

405
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

406
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: But was there enough it was a.

407
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 5: Penalty mitigating circumstances and Brown eight when nineteen players went

408
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 5: to the same being Okay.

409
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 4: When we come back to that, we learned from that.

410
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 4: We we moved on from that.

411
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 8: Direct contact and force and mitigation mitigation.

412
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: There is maybe it was on one knee, it was

413
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: on one need he did.

414
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: Your vest ready, one.

415
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: Time premiership winner, but the Broncos coach says the best

416
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: is yet to come.

417
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've talked about about the players. I mean it's

418
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 7: takes it seem really good team to be able to

419
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 7: achieve what they've done, and the leaders through Buddy Paine

420
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 7: when hunting to Tony the probably the mains the leaders,

421
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 7: but I had a lot of boys coming underneath that

422
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 7: that actually really jumped into the expectations standards what they

423
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 7: built so off the eli they're only at the indistry

424
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 7: of where where the starting point is.

425
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: We've only had twelve months getting the popcorn out.

426
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: It's time to talk about Michael McGuire and what a

427
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: performance it was this year by the head coach of

428
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: the Brisbane Broncos in his first year winning the premiership.

429
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: Now did he change throughout the scene?

430
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 5: Oh look, I've got no doubt made change. And look

431
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 5: I had a lot to say and I said it

432
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 5: on at Vegas. We didn't have to shower in Vegas,

433
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: and I said, you know, he'd driven them too hard

434
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 5: and you know they started strong and then they went

435
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: into this massive slump. Now they lost to South, they

436
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 5: lost tous Saint George. They got beaten thirty four to

437
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 5: six by Manly Brook val Obel. And I'm told, and

438
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 5: I've had it confirmed from journalists in Brisbane, that ben

439
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 5: Hart and Adam Reynolds went and saw Madge not to

440
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 5: complain about cruisers, camps or spit buckets. That wasn't what

441
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 5: it was about. It was about intensity, some of the

442
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 5: stuff we saw in Tales of Tigertown, some of the

443
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 5: stuff that when he finished up at South saying the

444
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 5: players are happy to work hard, nine hour days, not

445
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 5: a problem, but we're just feeling a bit of anxiety

446
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 5: around the place. Would you mind rolling it back. At

447
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 5: the same time, they hired a crisis manager at guy

448
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 5: called Grant Williams. Grant Williams has handled police commissioners, all

449
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 5: sorts of high rollers, and he's what are you laughing at?

450
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm not laughing all right, Okay.

451
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 5: Anyway, he's gr Grant Williams worked very closely with Madge,

452
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 5: and I can tell you now that Madge pulled back

453
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 5: a little bit.

454
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: What do you work closely? What do you make specifically?

455
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: As he worked closely, I just.

456
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: Think I just explained he knocked back a bit of

457
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 5: his intensity. They were in big trouble mate. You know

458
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 5: in the first twelve rounds grew they had won five

459
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 5: games of footing, and Madge himself was right over the

460
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 5: appointment of Grant Williams. He wanted from there.

461
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: It's a Goodison.

462
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 5: It was a great decision.

463
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: And what I wrote this morning that was really really Sittney.

464
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 4: I just thought, ready coming, well, I think we see

465
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 4: what the player.

466
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: We saw what the plane.

467
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 5: I don't think this meeting happened.

468
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 4: I think we saw what the plan. Do you think

469
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 4: this meeting got no idea?

470
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 8: Buzz your was you generally generally get things right, so

471
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 8: it suggested.

472
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: Last night.

473
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 8: I just said, you probably generally get things right. What

474
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 8: I'm saying is all the talk about Madge is intensity.

475
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 8: Baseball bat, spewed buckets, army camps. We saw what the

476
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 8: players thought of that commentary, with the reaction after the game.

477
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 8: Hess was getting around with the baseball bat, they were

478
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 8: taking the Mickey O winners.

479
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 4: That commentary with you respect to you, I don't want to.

480
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to.

481
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 8: I don't want to you because you've done far more

482
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 8: than I have in this game. But that commentary was.

483
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 6: Ridiculous, staying quiet last Monday. I'll standwaving that I said

484
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 6: about Mage. My beef was him was when he took

485
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 6: on Billy Slater and the glasshouses, and that's where it started,

486
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 6: right And then I read out his record at the

487
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 6: West Tigers and I said, how does the management come

488
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 6: up with this guy right with the record that he had?

489
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 6: But they did, and now he's proven me wrong. But

490
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 6: the thing is, I'm not saying that Kevin wouldn't have

491
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 6: the players in the same spot, and I'll never walk

492
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 6: away from that.

493
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 4: That's fair enough.

494
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: We got in the player.

495
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 4: We all understand what I.

496
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 6: So Broncos and I want to congratulate everybody involved because

497
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 6: it's amazing to have that stadium the way it was,

498
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 6: to have it humming, to have those ten thousand people

499
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 6: the other day and those piers that I've watched when

500
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 6: there's wooden spoons and paint.

501
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: Has what he's given that Jersey now's been I question

502
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: that I've got to I've got to question that. I

503
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: got to question the Kevy thing.

504
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: Like I love Kevy and I think he's a great coach,

505
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: and I can't say you wouldn't have been able to

506
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: do what Mad has done, like it's imposed, no one can.

507
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: But what I will say is when he got to

508
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: the club, he major said that he thought they were unfit, right,

509
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: so he trained him hard. Spewed back at Army camps

510
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: all that the last they had six comebacks ten plus

511
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: points against top eight teams in from around sixteen onwards.

512
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: Now you can question would they have done that this

513
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: time last year? I mentioned before he dropped Cobbo and

514
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: he dropped Arthurs. Now with the previous coach done that,

515
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: we don't know.

516
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

517
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: Right Shibasaki he plucked from oblivion and gave him the

518
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: opportunity this year which was outstanding. And I believe that

519
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: he's a big part of the transformation. We cannot sit

520
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: here and say that, and he can disagree with me

521
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: going and that's fine, And I'm not saying that he

522
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: couldn't have done it, but before he's not getting.

523
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: Enough credit for this.

524
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 5: And hold on, you obviously didn't McCollum responded before this

525
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 5: jumped in as I was halfway through explaining it. Madge's

526
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 5: biggest when this year was his lack of stubbornness that

527
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 5: he took aboard what Ben Hunt and Adam Reynolds said

528
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 5: to him, his leaders behind closed doors and he changed.

529
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 5: He just backed off and uson.

530
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: Of the players after the game, every single one that

531
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 2: was in sums it up. He said, he demands a lot.

532
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: We just want to camp. Yes, that's all it needs

533
00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: to be said.

534
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 8: But I think the reason they got in there was

535
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 8: everything we saw in the latter of stage of the season.

536
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 8: They got in there to add some steel, some starch,

537
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 8: some resilience to that footage club because it didn't didn't

538
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 8: mean to.

539
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 4: Be there last What do you want.

540
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Is a big thing, and that's what they've got.

541
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 4: That's exactly what the pay. He's done it, and he's

542
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 4: done it.

543
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 5: Do you want me to sit here and say what?

544
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: Do you want me to say?

545
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: Whatever you want when when.

546
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 5: They're fired from twelve thirty four to six Beach and

547
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 5: George Beach South, do you want me to just come

548
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 5: in and say good week? And you know what do

549
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 5: you want us to do? Do you want us to analyze?

550
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: And you know what Goddy Gordy said that he Madge

551
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: proved him wrong just there? Did he prove you wrong?

552
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 5: I said last week he proved me wrong. But I'm

553
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 5: not apologizing as these some people want me to, some

554
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 5: people have and I'm not here. Madge proved me wrong.

555
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 5: Madge deserved his premiership. You're happy.

556
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm very happy.

557
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 5: And you've been wrong to this year. Of course, you

558
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 5: started with Canterbury, started Nick, and then you bounced on

559
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 5: the bridge.

560
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: That's untrue. But you're the biggest turn case. You did cheer.

561
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 4: You were cheering Brisbane.

562
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: I saw that, but that Nick is like a father.

563
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 2: And I'm still I've been making the whole time, and

564
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: I've spoke to a million times, sorry, spoke in the

565
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: gas and all the other guys as well as me

566
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: in time.

567
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: So that's actually wrong. But I know you want to

568
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: reflect to me. I am not. It's a good player.

569
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: It's a couple of broadcast players, Adam Menalds and Ben Hunt.

570
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 2: What a moment it was for them to get this premiership.

571
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: The redemption story behind it was. It was amazing, wasn't it.

572
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

573
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 6: I think Ben Hunt the moment in Canberra, the field goal,

574
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 6: Like I know last night was a really tough game,

575
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 6: but the moment that he had he needed big moments

576
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 6: outstanding to war how emotionally he was. Adam Reynold's a

577
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 6: poor old buggery. His body broke down again. But it's

578
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 6: great to see those guys like what. I think they're

579
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 6: the oldest halves pairing in the history of rugby league

580
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 6: the way they embraced after the game. And that's what

581
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 6: I did, Like I sat back and watched the moments

582
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 6: with those guys.

583
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 5: Ben Harnt if we stuck the contract should still be

584
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 5: feeding the scrums at George Lawira Barton. He wanted a

585
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 5: new opportunity, he got it, sat George didn't fighting and

586
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 5: Adam Reynolds. I was sitting there last night just before

587
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 5: he got carried off. I'm thinking, what is House thinking?

588
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: You taking this thinking because there's another number seven players.

589
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 8: I think it was more significant for Ben because Adam

590
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 8: had a Adam's got a premiership. It was a long

591
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 8: time ago. But for Ben, after what happened in fifteen,

592
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 8: I think that was a huge thing.

593
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Is it redemption?

594
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 4: Well, as close as you get breathon, that's pretty big.

595
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: What about Ezra Man Like you talking about Rhys Walsh

596
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: and you talk about two pronged attack, Now you're watching

597
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: the game again live and the speed at which Reach

598
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: executes and performs his next level. Then you've got this

599
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: guy coming off the bench who is electric and dangerous

600
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: with every touch, and he made a massive impact in't

601
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: he he's.

602
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: Physical two break.

603
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 8: I think that's the other thing you don't notice about

604
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 8: that he plays a physical game.

605
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: But I thought he was outstanding at the end of

606
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: the game.

607
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 6: It was only half that leapt threat threat of Man

608
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 6: and Reese out there live was unbelievable.

609
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 5: Still debate boys and not taking anything away. There's a

610
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: debate whether he should have played after the off season thing.

611
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 5: And I wrote a story on the weekend about him

612
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 5: getting a flight by the NRL, getting a flight by

613
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: the Broncos, And I spoke to the poor mother the

614
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 5: victim he play out his car and doing and I

615
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 5: spoke to the uber driver, you know, and they're still

616
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 5: struggling and seeing him on TV, seeing him with his

617
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 5: life back together. But I did stress in this column,

618
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 5: and I'm not aiming this at Ezra Man. I'm aiming

619
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: at the system where we didn't have a system, where

620
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 5: we'd be outed for twelve months. That's what I thought

621
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 5: should have happened, something that serious.

622
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, a lot of people agree with you.

623
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: Buzz
