WEBVTT - Inside 'tense' Storm coaching box | Riccio begs NRL for daytime Grand Final | Code NRL 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.279 Whatever gets me towards daytime football. I think daytime football 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:06.760 makes for such better footy. 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:07.480 NRL. 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:10.560 Mister Andrew Abda, please take this seriously. In the second 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:14.040 week of the finals, can you please play a Sunday 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.880 afternoon semi final Wida. 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.400 Welcome to the Code NRL Show on Dave Ricky with 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.280 me is Brent Reied. It's a very cozy set today, Rebn. 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.240 Marshmallows because look, it's just the two of us. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.760 The workers were always here. 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.319 Men, let's rip straight into it. 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:42.400 Bunnies Roosters, the great rivalry, final round of the season. 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.239 They tell us House have nothing to play for. Then 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.560 they run out against the Roosters. You know exactly, They've 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:49.040 got something to play forte. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.640 They can end the Rooster season potentially, Dave, and they 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.880 would love nothing more than to do that. Given there's 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.360 not a lot of stake for them, they can't play 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:00.560 finals footy. But you know this, this the build up 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.440 to this game has been Look, it's always acrimonious, but 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.360 this time around it's got a little bit of something, 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.800 a little bit of something different to it. Obviously with 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.039 the Brandon Smith factor, it's going to be explosive. Dave, 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.319 I Reckon, We're going to see some drama here, which 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:19.399 the Roosters don't want. Potential the finals. The last thing 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.480 they need is drama. Bloke's getting suspended, Bloke's getting put 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:24.720 on report. They don't need that. 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.840 So this is interesting because you actually raised that very 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.080 point last weekend at the Trent Robinson press conference post 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.480 match against the Melbourne Storm. I think you planted that 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.679 seed then that Brandon, no more so that the Roosters 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.280 players need to keep their cool if they're to play, 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.759 if they continue to play next week. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.680 Well, they played so well in Melbourne, Dave didn't the 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.640 second half down there, and I think people when you 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.240 look at the way they played in the second half 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.200 down there, Look, I don't think they can do any damage. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.000 Well sorry, I don't think they can win the camp. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.320 But when you look at the way they played in 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.559 the second half down there, they can do some damage 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.000 when they get to the finals. But they've got to 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.160 get there to keep their heads on Friday night. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.400 Why can't they given why can't they win the camp 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.600 with that roster and. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.840 With that second half. This is your bug It is 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.560 my bug bear. It is my bug bear, and true 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:11.840 Roosters fans you know it. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:16.920 You know that that is a talented outfit and that 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.320 they should have been performing a lot better and rightfully 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.640 so they should be in the finals with that amount 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.919 of talent and rep experience. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.920 It's not about the the Dally Player of the Year 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:28.680 at fullback. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.520 I don't acknowledge they're a talented team, but I think 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.680 they've been too inconsistent this year. You can't can't just 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.359 turn it on come the finals. When you're playing playing 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.160 the elite sides in the comp you can't just flick 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:41.519 a switch and become consistent. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.160 Yeah, yeah, that I would argue that they're showing signs 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.560 that they have. They've already flicked that switch. Well, the 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.440 one the second half forty l against Melbourne st. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.080 Or two ago. Was it last week they lost. I 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.480 mean they're just they've been a bit up and down. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.240 For me. I know they've been a bit better second 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.440 half of the season. Obviously, Sammy Walker will come back 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.639 this week and I'm more evile. Second half against Melbourne, 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.239 washing Bells coaches box and made he was he was 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:13.040 astonished by the second half. They were fantastic. But yeah, 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.839 it's just so look, it would not surprise me. David 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.320 if South beat them, because they haven't. They haven't convinced 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:19.960 me the roosters. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.560 Let me say this, if the Dolphins managed to elevate 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.880 themselves into the top eight over the top of the Roosters, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.520 that is embarrassing for the Sydney Roosters. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.840 Are you with me the site you're saying based on 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:34.840 the talent level. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.600 Absolutely, look at the injury carnage the Dolphins have gone through. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.240 Yeah, carnage. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.880 Yeah, well today I would say, yeah, that's probably a 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.200 fair point because but the roosters have had half a 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.320 year without seeing I'll get it. I get it, and 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:49.920 as I said, they've been better in the second half 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.760 of the year than the first. But you know, they 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.320 just got to look their only priority is going to 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.760 be got to be betting Souse. They can't think about 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.120 the feuds, and they can't think about the breath in 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.320 a Smith drama, and they can't think about anything other. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.960 They can't even think about finals. They just got to 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.080 think about turning up playing well, stick to the process. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.360 Yeah. Process. I think they win, I really do. I think. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.640 You know, I think they win because they should win 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.000 given the amount of talent that they do. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:18.720 I'm not one hundred percent there. 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.760 Well, I think the Bunnies haven't been too bad. Souse 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.679 has been good recently, Walk has been sensational. Won't play 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.279 Cat Murray is an interesting one, but I just Jack 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.600 Whiteen's back. Yeah, I think Souse can beat them. Yeah, 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.800 because I think, as we've spoken about, they've been thinking 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.119 about this game, setting themselves up for this game, getting 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.600 ready for this game for weeks now. I mean I 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.120 own it off because they've had nothing else to play for. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.039 What they've had to play for is this game, being 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.280 ready for this game and beating the Roosters and knock 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.279 them out of the finals. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.400 You mentioned Craig Bellamy's box. You were given a front 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.000 row seat back row. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.720 Sea actually did have a seat. It up no seats seat. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.880 I stood up in about not enough seats coming. It's 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.880 not a big box, Dave, no seats in. Nick Mede 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.960 and Jerome Hughes had seats, and I couldn't make them 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.400 get up because they were in the back of the TI. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.240 It was a bit like it was the Gus called 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.880 Laurie Daily Situation all over it. You went to sit down, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.440 but there was no seats. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.680 So I stood there and I spent most of the 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.120 second half, just trying to hide behind Ali Katoa, who 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.320 came up in the second half because I thought I 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.520 don't want Craig to see me. Things were going so ugly. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.039 Couldn't help. But notice there was some like red frogs 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.279 and sour straps. As far as how many. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.400 Just Craig in hail of those, I don't. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.960 Actually remember him taking. I don't think anyone had here. 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.320 I think that box just sat there. Maybe it's just 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.960 for the decor of the cut the bottles of water, 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.960 cut the computer screens. Yeah, man, it was ugly second alfter, 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:52.159 very ugly for me. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:53.320 Did you enjoy the experience? 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.360 I enjoyed it. It was just very tent. The second 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.360 half was so diabolical for Melbourne. 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:00.000 Yeah it was. 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.839 It's just a very tense place to be. But I 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:02.800 enjoy being there. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.560 It was a unique, huge game on Saturday night ad 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.120 at a Core Stadium, Kennedy Bulldogs against the Kronulla Sharks. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.160 Interestingly Cam Seraldo, who has decided not to rest here. Now, 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.600 some Doggies fans would be suggesting, well, I wouldn't mind 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.479 putting a couple of my boys on eyees, given that 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.120 it really isn't much positional change for the Dogs. It's 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.640 almost certain that they'll be playing the Melbourne Storm and 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.640 Reedy and I are hearing that that's most likely next 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.520 Friday night. Yet to be confirmed, but that is the 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:31.840 tip down at Amy Park. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:33.360 What do you think. 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.520 Reban should Sarata have been resting them. My personal opinion 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.760 is no, he shouldn't. He needs to keep this spine 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:43.400 humming and this team going. Due to the fact that 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:44.920 there has been some changes along the way. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.839 Well, the worry is day they haven't played great footy. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:47.480 Right. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.400 So they beat Penrith last week, but that was a 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.880 Penrith side without sixteen blokes or whatever, and they weren't 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.000 I didn't think they were overly impressive. They were good 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.000 against Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, but they lost 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.880 that game in Melbourne obviously. So I think it's really 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.520 important that they play because I just as I said, 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.839 I just don't think they're purring at the moment and 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.200 I think they need to find something before the finals. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.000 I worry for the Dogs. I just don't think I've 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.760 seen enough in the past six eight weeks to suggest 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:16.720 to me they can do damage. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.120 That Storm game was pretty good. Three tries over the trial. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:21.800 Yeah, No, they played very good in that game. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.280 And had they beaten the storm, would your opinion be different? 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.000 It would be different. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.360 Yeah, they left three tries over the track. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.000 Yeah, but they didn't score. But you know so, I'm 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.160 not surprised he's not resting. Not surprised he's not resting. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:34.640 Is that right? 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.400 Yeah, that's okay. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.560 I'm not surprised he's not resting because I think they 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.360 need to. They need some momentum they do. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:47.040 Yeah, I don't disagree the Penrith game. I don't take 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.240 much out of it. Honestly, had they won by fifty, 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.600 what does that do for you? You've played touch footy 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.920 the whole night as far as final preparation is concerned, 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.040 and they win like they did, and everyone's not happy 0:07:59.040 --> 0:07:59.320 that it. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:00.320 Wasn't ruthless enough. 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.080 Like I just felt it was such a lose, lose 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.400 scenario for the dogs. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:05.880 This one I want to see. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.760 I thought if they put forty or fifty on pen 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.880 would have gone that's pretty good. I would have. But 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.720 I know you're saying most people woud have got to answers. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.240 That's right, gone, mate, that's pretty impressive they put him 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:16.760 to the sword. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.920 This will be good, This will be good. Yeah, because 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:19.840 styles make fires. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.040 There's a question for you though, Dave. If Brisbane went 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:27.160 on on Thursday night. Yeah, Cronulla are basically can't make 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.160 the four. Can't make the four. Shouldn't they rest players? 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.280 I think I think you'll find that the fact that 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.400 the Sharks had to buy only last week, they would 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.480 treat that as that's their rest, that's their rest. And 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.400 like what you're saying, I think Cronulla another side that 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.199 want momentum, they want they want harmony and they want 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.559 to be humming coming into week one of the finals. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.319 Okay, and I'm not convinced by them at all, Dave, Yeah, 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.280 I really worry. Like again, this history of in recent 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.040 years fits. He's always gone into the finals, done an 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.480 amazing job, Clue a great coach, but they've never really 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.160 done any damage when they've got there. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.520 Well yeah, well you know my argument every time, it 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.320 comes down to having plays with big game experience, and 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.640 Cronulla haven't had those players. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.240 They just haven't. They haven't had origin players. They've had 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:16.560 one game origin players. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.480 They don't have elite level experience in big matches they 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.000 are experiencing finals matches. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:25.559 They got to the prelim. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:31.720 Last year and maybe that is their maturation as a team. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.040 But until they do it, I. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.480 Just feel as though you go through the other teams 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.439 and they've got guys that have won massive games, Origin 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:40.920 Series Test matches. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.240 But again, I wouldn't I wouldn't like to be facing 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.360 them at Shark Park in Week one of the finals. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:47.640 Yeah. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.600 If I'm the Roosters or Penrith potentially and you're playing 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.800 Cranella week one of the finals at Shark Park in 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.079 front of thirteen thousand, I wouldn't like that. But it 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.440 scame me a little bit. Yeah, it's not like it's 0:09:58.800 --> 0:09:59.800 I don't think they can win. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.559 So I will say this, they're probably in their best 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:10.000 state of preparedness and physicality that they've been in years 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.079 gone by. And what I mean by that is Jesse 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:17.079 Ramian's back, Oregon Confusi's back. The only concern obviously is 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.559 Braiden Trindle, but it's not a long term. They do 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.000 have a very healthy squad and that's rare, and with 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.120 the buye last week and a big hit out against 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.680 the Dogs this Saturday night, that might just be a nice. 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.160 Little pipe opener before the finals. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.320 Well, that's what you mentioned. It's a really interesting game 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.400 last round particularly have none of them rest players. It's 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.720 it's a blockbuster really yep. And they could meet again 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.680 in the finals at some point, so it's crucial that yep, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.400 one of them. Obviously one's going to win. But yeah, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.520 it's a big it's a big victory potentially. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:51.240 Yeah. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.439 Look, a little bit of news around seam Stone Street 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.600 has agreed to a new deal at the Sharks. 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.679 You like him, Yeah, I do. I think I think 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:58.680 he's got something for sure. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.160 He's a try scorer, he's got speed, he's a local junior. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.560 You know, he's passionate about the footy club. But just 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.640 at the moment just can't get past Katara Ronaldo Mallatalo. 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:09.840 He'll get his chance. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.280 He did start the season and started well. Let's move 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.319 to mainly the Warriors big. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.600 Game sideline for this one day, looking forward to it. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.319 Dahlia Shevan's last game. Yep. Brookie is a mainly of 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.640 four points park as a manly player. Warriors again, they're 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.840 one of those side. They're limping to the finish line, 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:32.240 the Warriors Olympic limp and they look at all sorts 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.600 of like, Yeah, in terms of looking ahead of the finals, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.640 they look at all, just so many injuries killed them 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.800 in crucial spots. So look mainly need to win by 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.280 about forty fifty and then hope the Rusters get beaten 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:45.280 by thirty or forty of. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:46.800 Any mathematical they call it. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.360 They're a mathematical hope. I've got to say, Dave, and 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.360 I hope the Warriors aren't watching, because. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:56.920 The Warriors are watching. 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:03.600 Mainly, at their best can play some exhilarating football. The 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.800 Warriors are struggling. I could see him putting forty on him, 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.079 big call, and then we need South or they need 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.319 to come to the party a game. But but I 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.120 could also see Manly losing that sort of team. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.160 Yeah, I've got Manly winning this, And for everything you 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.400 just said, I just feel as though the Warriors are 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.160 just struggling for mojo at the moment. 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.319 They've got stacks to play for. Tollu Cohler is a 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.240 big out. Yeah for Manly. He's out with a knee injury. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.280 But with DC's final game, I thought we got a 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.320 taste of it a couple of weeks back for his 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.640 milestone match that the crowd did get around him. The 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.800 team did get around him and they really responded with 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.560 a big winner with the Dolphins, and I can see 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:43.160 a similar game. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:44.640 To be honest, when do you reckon they announce his 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.880 roosters once both teams are done for the year. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't you. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.400 I mean the fascical nature of it is is that 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.680 seen and Smith's meeting with rival clubs. So he's been 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.000 told that there's no spot for him. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.040 Yeah, that we know that DC he's going. It's just ridiculous. 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:04.960 The Warriors are an. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.280 Interesting one as far as what they want as far 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:08.520 as a. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.280 Home final is concerned, Readman. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.440 And we know that they are a genuine chance of 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:19.480 being fifth or sixth, and the All Blacks play on 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.600 Saturday night next week over in New Zealand, and it's 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.720 the Warriors priority to play either the first Saturday slot 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.960 or Sunday afternoon. 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.320 Avoid a clash with the All Blacks. Yeah, yeah, well 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:30.920 that makes sense. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.360 Have you spoken to the NRL about it? 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.400 I spoke to him yesterday, Dave. Yeah, I'm they're aware 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.679 of that. Obviously, They've got a lot of balls here 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.160 at the moment with the scheduling, because you know, the 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.000 camera camber is is pretty significant. Camera want to play Sunday. 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.960 The general will prefer they play Saturday. I think they're saying, well, 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.360 we're minor premiers, we should get the choice. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.280 It's also on the base that they played this Sunday. Yeah, 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.440 and they want the longest possible turn around. 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.760 So the NAL's got a lot of issues to work out. 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.600 And that's just the All Blacks is one of them. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.719 The Cambrius is one of them. As you said, I 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.480 think Melbourne Dogs will be Friday night, we imagine, but 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.600 again there's an issue there because it could be an 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.800 AFL final literally across the road from Amy Park at 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.680 the MCG. So there's a lot going on. There's a 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.120 little whisper around, Dave, actually, and I've tried to get 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.520 this firmed up yesterday, so please, this is only a 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.880 whisper that the second week of the finals, they normally 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.840 play Friday Saturday, they might move to Saturday, or they're 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.800 weighing up potentially they have to run up by the 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.280 broadcasters moving to Saturday Sunday. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.280 Well, yeah, what's the basis or thought behind that. 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.400 I can't remember. There was a reason for it that. Yeah, 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.160 I think it's to do with seventh turnarounds and if 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.880 camera played. Yeah, if the team that camera play on 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.640 Sunday they play, they play one of those teams in 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.760 the battle for fourth. If they played Sunday, then you 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:50.880 want to give the you know. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.520 What, I don't whatever gets me towards daytime football. I 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.560 think daytime football makes for such better footing and I 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.200 get it world rating World Sport has moved to nighttime 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.800 sport for about money, baby, because of the TV broadcasts 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.560 and the advertising ability and the commercial rates you get 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.120 at nighttime. And for my same argument that we should 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.840 have an afternoon grand final. I love daytime footy and 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.080 a Sunday afternoon. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.240 Imagine a Sunday a final. So would that be a prelim? No, 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:24.920 it would be a qualifying final. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:30.200 Qualifying final at Alion Stadium. Yeah, forty odd thousand under 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:31.600 bright blue skies. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.640 How good try track? Great footy? 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.080 Well it might be. It might be a sun though. 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.360 That's the other thing, well Son call if Brisbane finished 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.840 fourth that either maybe it's a sun course even better? Yeah, 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.520 imagine Caxton Street readman can launched an appeal. You launch 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:47.520 an appeal to the NRL. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.880 NRL mister Andrew Abda, please take this seriously in the 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.120 second week of the finals, can you please play a 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.440 Sunday afternoon semi final. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.960 It has to be done. Brilliant with your Dave readman, 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.880 tell us what is in your mail bag? 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.240 Dave, you know what. We're jumping on the marking and 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.040 the Tawazi trained, the push for him to become the 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.120 game's latest duel international. Has been on fire for the Roosters. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.320 Four tries last week. Obviously, he's played for the Wallabies 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.320 and there's a big push now for him to go 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.720 on the Kangaroo Tour. There's talking he might get picked. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.320 He's obviously under consideration. Dave. I spoke to our last 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.560 children's national This caught me off guard. I did with 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.080 a Wikipedia search. Who was our last children's national source 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.320 of truth? Carmichaelant, Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm sorry, Carmichael, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.960 I forgot about him. Carmichael actually played with Mark at 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.760 the war Retars and look he endorsed him. Said, look, look, 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.800 telling really talented player. Was a really talented player when 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.760 he was at the Warrortars when he was quite young. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.040 He was with him, and he's quite young. It was 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.240 five years ago or something. But yeah, big fan Carmichael. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.560 So I'd forgotten about Kate special k. 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:57.480 Yeah, he was a talent, a man, he could. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.080 Plays coach now South slogan. 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.360 In Brisbane and how anybody. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.480 They missed the finals this year, but they've been pretty 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:03.960 good in recent good job. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.320 But Markie Mark, he would have he would have watched 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.640 Carmichael play, Yeah, big time. 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.080 He was a tough bugger. K I remember the kick 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.600 returns made fearless. But you know there's a big push 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.280 at the moment for Mark and I get the feeling. David, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.280 I think you might go on the Kangaroo too. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:22.840 I hear you. I'd have him. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:23.960 I'd have him every day of the week. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.160 But Jesus got a lot of people going on this tour, 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.080 like you've got to someone's got to miss out. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:30.240 Oh, I don't know. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.439 I think someone had give a ship of saki in. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.240 There was that sneaky peete. 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.200 He's got to cheer the Brisbane boys. Peete Gavin would 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:41.920 have done himself a mischief though, I don't. 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.040 I don't think just on that game missing out that's. 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.600 Huge for Brisbane. Yeah, yeah, he's been great for him 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.560 this year. Yeah, but he's only got himself to blame. 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:53.679 You've got to be better than that. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.359 Do you think he's back for the first week at 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:55.840 the finals? 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.199 Probably depends on how he responds, how they play and 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.639 how he responds to what's happened. I mean, if he 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:04.640 responds in the right way, they run out and get 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.680 beaten and they're outside back struggle, then he probably comes in. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:09.639 Is there leading try score? He's got fifteen. 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.600 It's had a great year and obviously you mentioned he's 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.920 in he's in kangaroo too discussions. I'd have Mark ahead 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.919 of him because I think he's there's more upside with 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:24.040
