<v Speaker 3>Out here. Your name was on the story, pal, I

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:34.280

<v Speaker 2>About, No, they don't.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>We should probably something.

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>He should take greater control of the show this earlier.

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, I just I don't like to open up

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.639
<v Speaker 1>a little rib. So I thought it was a good

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>bit of levity, a little bit of levity.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 2>It's serious, man, Just for like it was a.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Good story this week around how well, maybe some clubs

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>were trying to wrangle their way into a little bit

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>of finances on the back of expansion and leveraged some

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>things and the good news.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 3>It was Ready's first day back from Paris and by

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 3>midday managed to piss off half of it.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 4>So welcome back reading.

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>It's a good I got called in the principals off

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>going on Ready's back from Paris.

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Just a bit of argie bargie the wight around. They'll

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>get money out of it all in the expansion, they'll

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>get plenty of money. Great, that was Buzz, while is

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 2>he good?

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 4>The punters love Buzz, particularly on this pod delusion.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>We love them, we love the pun It's.

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Did a very good job on Triple M.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 2>So he kept telling me that he text from him

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>every Sunday. I was magnificent again today, these two.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Going at it on Saturday and then putting it onto me,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>is that who are you going to tune into? And

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>then two minutes before his first shift on Triple M,

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>he texts, Buzz, don't be up, Buzz.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Who did you tune into? Who?

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 4>I didn't?

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I started off with bars and they moved on to

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>me Georgia.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah fair enough this week when back next to week next.

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I was supposed to be on last weekend, but my

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>son's soccer games and I'm the coach and coached him

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>for a month, so I asked if Buzz could stand

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 2>in for me. He did so reluctantly. He said, apparently

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>he did a magnificent joby of the game.

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure his wallet thanks you exactly.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 2>He promised to shout me at lunch. At least he

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>should do.

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't shout out for Shark bit him. We've got to

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>get into this. Immortals have been named well the dinner

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>was there ron Court fourteenth of Mortal emotional ceremony. She's

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>looked on TV. I was at home working at the time.

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.679
<v Speaker 1>You blokes were there getting a free feed working. I

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 1>had ron Coot's quotes online before someone out there threatened

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>to file them. I was working overtime. Looked like a

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>good celebration in the room.

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>It was great. It was a great, great occasion. Dragged

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>on for a bit, but I had so many people

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>to induct, but there was a lot, but it was.

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>It was a really good night. Great, a lot of

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 2>people you don't often see right in the same room

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 2>together and Ronnie Coot. Look, I thought cam Smith should

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 2>have been the next to Mortal. But I'm not going

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to argue about ron Kot. I mean he's a legend

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>of the game. But for me it had to be

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought cam Smith was the logical one. Can't We'll

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>get his turn in whenever they do it again, for

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:49.839
<v Speaker 2>his time whatever. But that's good for Ron, happy for him,

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 2>and obviously it was a great night.

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 4>It was a nice idea. Was the first one I've

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 4>ever been to.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 3>A bit different to the daily ms where Dallians probably

0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 3>get a lot of a party.

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you normally blithering after an.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Maybe back in the day, not the last get back

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 3>into it.

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm due, but so it was.

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>It was.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was really nice. It was the way the

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 4>NRL did it was good.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, lots of people to celebrate. But yeah, Ron Kurt,

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I've said it before and with radio I would have

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 3>gone for camp Smith. But the excitement levels, the proudness,

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>the fact that you know, he said, I've turned up

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 3>to these before, and so to come and still be

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 3>there and still be a you know, a great statesman

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 3>of the game, eighty years of age and he's still

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 3>the biggest fan of the game and.

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 4>So strong in his memories.

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Isn't funny because was there as well right now and

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>in this era of concussion and CT ct wrong couped

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 2>up there, really lucid. Yeah, Covered ninety three really locid.

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Great memory on the stage, slowed down, somebody helping me

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>on the stairs, right down.

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, that were magical moments seeing those guys. Obviously

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 3>I remember Ken Arthursen through the running the game and

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>the like, but having him and John Clayle inducted at

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 3>the same time and watching bounce off each other again

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 3>was great. So there were so many great moments there.

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 3>But you know, I commend ron Kot's induction.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, So you both said that you were to

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>went Cam Smith. Camp Smith retired what end of twenty

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 1>nineteen and twenty three years ago? Yeah, twenty twenty. So

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Ron Coots last game nineteen to seventy eight? Are you

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>washing out anyone in between that era? To Cam Smith?

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Is this where you're going with your next either?

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 3>More pretty clear on that, right. I've seen two mortals

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 3>against the people, can you. I've seen two mortals in

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 3>my life, Andrew John's and Cameron Smith Thurston not Thurston.

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 3>The only one that I think I may change in

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 3>time is Billy Slater. He'd be the next, he'd be

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 3>the top of the rest, and then Thurston Luckier Fitler

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:19.359
<v Speaker 3>are probably just that tied daily probably see, I find

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Cooper Kronk so interesting. Like Cooper kron not in a

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 3>mortal for mine, right, but you look at his career

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 3>and I think you know, when you hear people speak

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 3>about ron kot now they speak of his record, Okay,

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 3>in thirty years time, In twenty years time, I think

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 3>the same could be said about Cooper Kronk because you

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 3>look at his record, he has the best record of

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 3>any more than day player. He has the best record

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 3>with Smith and Slater and all those guys if you're

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 3>looking at numbers.

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Alone in terms of premierships.

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Premierships and obviously second most games played, the amount of

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 3>test matches, daily ms and all that sort of stuff. Right,

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 3>He's record is the best, okay mad of all those

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 3>guys you know, to do it two clubs and stuff

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 3>like that. There's a lot to be said for it

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 3>playability alone. He's not an immortal. He's in a walk

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 3>up Hall of famer. I'm comfortable with that, but I

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 3>think I'll be interested. You can't predict the future, but

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 3>in twenty years time, where the people look at his

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 3>career and then you know, by then Slater might have

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 3>been inducted by then Smith will definitely have been inducted.

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 3>And we've seen ron Court all the legends that were

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 3>inducted in and around him and his ear and the

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>amount of times he's missed out.

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>That's my issue I reckon with was waiting too long?

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think there's a time frame where if

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>you're not in within ten or your first three attempts,

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 2>you're not eligible again. Yeah, because I think over time

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>it colors your judgment a little bit. The longer it takes.

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, we have this nostalgic view view of the

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 2>guys playing twenty thirty years ago, and we go, oh,

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, you forget, you forget what they're actually like,

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and you more lie on that record and they're sort

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>of a reputation that grows mushrooms over time. Right. So

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that's why I think you need a cutoff point where

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.239
<v Speaker 2>if you've been nominated three times, I know Peter Bedell

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 2>suggested this in the in the meeting, and you've got

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 2>held down if you've been if you've been nominated three times,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>you haven't made it. That's it. And I think in

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>American sport that's what they do and I think it's

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>in baseball they do that. I think it's the same

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. If you're nominated three four times and

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't make it, that's your chance has gone. It's done.

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 3>We've reached the cutoff now though, we've reached the point

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 3>now where any line in eighties below or sooner than

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty you will not be in a mortal players

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 3>can still be inducted into I don't think there's a

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 3>time lit on the Hall of Fame right, no, but

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.559
<v Speaker 3>for our mortals, I think now we're up to the

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighties era. Whether or not they're players they get

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 3>inducted or not, I'm not sure, but I think that's

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 3>where we're up to. And eventually, you know, after the

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 3>next lot are we're up to the two thousands.

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 2>For me, the only ones can the current era is

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 2>the only one you can put in. But I'm sure

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>in twenty years time, you know, people will sit back

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 2>and go, oh, you should have JT. And there you

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>should have Cooper Kronk, and you should have BILLI sed

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 2>later and then probably Lucky Ja to Freddie you know

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 2>alpha your law get mentioned. Yeah, because because as I said,

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 2>when you sit back when you're not living in the

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 2>present present, you don't have a vivid sort of recollection

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 2>of them from like Zipa was yesterday. Of course, I

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 2>think it changes your view of them.

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>So you're all out the likes Ken Irvine, all Time Graves,

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Triscore or.

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 4>All those guys.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Respectfully, we've moved past that era now for immortal Inductions

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Hall of Fame, it's open still and so Courdy at

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 3>the time was a bees.

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>You know what from being selected apparently in the first time,

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>first time round. And I think there's been a bit

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of work to do to rectify this concept because who

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>would have thought in rugby league that the moment to

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>honor greatest ever came from a white promotion from a

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>now defunct gravy league magazine. But this is where we are.

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>We've got to this point. We look at those eighties

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 1>I kind of agree. You look at those eighties guys

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>now and go, okay, Brett Kenny Sterling, Ricky our Fie

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>then inter Lockie and you've got to make you have

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>to start making these decisions. I mean, Steve Rodgers, who

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. People argue that Sludge might have missed out

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>because Boso was in and you know, sort of similar positions,

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>playing the senters, a bit of Boso played.

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>If you've got to win a camp, don't you. I

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 3>don't know Wally like Wally, but Wally had a different career.

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I think that's right, that's right. So I think the

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 3>only knock I never saw Steve Rodgers play. The only

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 3>knock would be if we're looking at and I'm looking

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 3>at numbers here, right, you don't don't want a camp, don't.

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 4>I honestly don't think you can be an a mortal.

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>So the only guy from that ear that I mean,

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and it might be nostalgia. I love Brett Kenny. I

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>love watching Brett Kenny play. He was he was when

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.839
<v Speaker 1>he was in my team, watching him playground, anything can happen,

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>but you've got to have that level like a Hall

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of Famer easily. The immortals have got to be. You've

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>got to keep them exclusive. And now that we've wrapped

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to fourteen, because back to what where were we when

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>we only had Joey was the eight back in two

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand and fourteen?

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you gotta be really careful we don't lose that.

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying, that's my point because you've got guys

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 3>like so I find it hard. I find Cam Kim, Joey, Billy,

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 3>and then I can't split Thirst and Lockier, Fitdler daily

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 3>those guys, I can't split them, right, So for mine,

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 3>I can't have more as mortals. That's that's my issue

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 3>with And they're all legends of the game, outstanding players,

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 3>but I can't split those. So if you can't split them,

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to add. So first I had Thirst

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 3>and really high up am I.

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I think he's above that group you just mentioned, but

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's at the Smith John's Lewis level.

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 2>I think he's just a notch below that.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 3>Ye, where do you see Billy?

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.719
<v Speaker 2>I think Billy's with JT. Yeah, I think Billy's ad that.

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 3>But if it's if those two are closed, then you

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 3>can argue they're close, but I don't think they're in.

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Then you could argue those guys might get better with time,

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 3>as we say, right like once, I probably will, but

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 3>once I watch more like like once, if in twenty

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 3>years time Billy Slader is the best fullback I've ever seen,

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:32.319
<v Speaker 3>I'd probably vote for it.

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, hope you're not in the panel. No,

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I love Billy. We're on these days. Hopefully he's on

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the panel, Billy and gets you over the line. Brother.

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 4>But I would have if I was on the panel,

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.079
<v Speaker 4>I would have voted for Kemp Smith.

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, question without notice. Current generation possibilities Nathan Cleary clear, Yeah,

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>he's he's probably Nathan Cleary.

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but again, I don't think right now to me,

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 2>right now, Nathan's not at a point. What's Nathan twenties?

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if his career ended right now, he wouldn't have been.

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 2>He's got to show a bit more for me, particularly

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>at that elite level. No, it's not enough. No, not

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>for if that's the case, you put every player from

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the Dragon's team that won eleven straight would be.

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>But if you're I'm happy with Bert.

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I'm just.

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Saying, right like, if he if he's career ended right now,

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 4>it's a Hall.

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Of Fame career. He's not in the mortal right now,

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 3>but he's tracking towards being one you.

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Got for me. He's got to own origin and he

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>hasn't known either of those arenas.

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>No, no, not.

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Yet, but he's tracking.

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 2>He's on the path.

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he'd be.

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 4>The I can't think of another player that I'd have.

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 3>There's lots of Hall of famers, but I can't think

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 3>of another player that i'd have in the immortal realm.

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 1>If you had a guy that you needed to kick

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a kick from the sideline or a forty minute field

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>goal or a clutch play to win your a game,

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to save your life, it's.

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Cleary if you're looking at all, like DC as a

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 3>Hall of Famer, James d Esko.

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Is a Hall of Fame, Monster's a Hall of Famer.

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.959
<v Speaker 1>Getting what do you see guys like Tom Travoyevich No

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.319
<v Speaker 1>not Yeah, his injuries. Do you think he could get

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to get there?

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 3>He could get there if he can play, If he

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 3>can play three uninjured years, merely win a comp he's in.

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Is it amortal?

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 3>No? No fame, hall of fame.

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I can't see Tommy.

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, no, not not unless he strings three is where

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 3>he wins the daily end and they win a couple.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Of years, go back to the last twenty twenty twenty

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>one season that.

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 4>We've seen one.

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if he's at his when he's at his badble,

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, but.

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a clear run where he can dominate the comp

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>for five or six years, Like.

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 3>G I right where you saw him playing like g

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 3>I Hall of Fame free but not an immortal for mine.

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 4>G right, like, probably I probably can't.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 3>I'd have Tommy at that level, but g I did

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 3>it for longer, more consistently.

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 1>At the moment, just on g I, can I give

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a shout out to Vonnie Sampson and the job that

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>she She's a pro. She's so good at hosting it.

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>See that obviously g I. Since retiring and then coming

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>back in the spotlight, he didn't look overly comfortable and

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>nursed him through. She's so good.

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 3>At what she did, and VOSSI was Outstanding's like that.

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 3>You can see the fans right.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, when he told her she forgot the autograph book,

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a very good line. That was hilarious.

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 1>But I thought, yeah they were both. Yeah, that was

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>good product.

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>It was great show. They did a really good job

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 2>of it.

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, really good job. Why did they have the

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>immortal announcement in the middle of the show.

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna have some exclusive content.

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>We're going to hold that because it'll be show.

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 3>So I was a little bit confisted when I sort

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 3>of thought, like, and then they said we're going to

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 3>announce the next to mortal, and we sort of looked

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 3>at each other and going, wow, that went from zero

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 3>to one hundred very very quickly. But there was a

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 3>very important guest in the crowd that had to go back,

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 3>go to camera and run the country apparently, so Albo

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 3>with his with his schedule, needed to get out. But

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 3>it was nine o'clock or whatever the case may be.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 3>So they put the immortal onnouncement in the middle of

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 3>the evening so Albert could be there to make the announcement.

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 3>And then after he made the announcement, he sat back

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 3>down and then after Ron had finished his speech in

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 3>the video tribute, he was out the door to get

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 3>back to Canberra.

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I would have thought, because the tele prompter broke, that he.

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Might That was a little bit awkward, Yeah, because when

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I was doing at that point, but I missed that.

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, he spoke and then he sort of just looked

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>down the barrel and then he looked off for the side,

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and then it was almost Ron Burger he made.

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 4>I saw it because it was blank. It was blank.

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 4>We were right near a great lucky he knew who

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 4>won and had to remember.

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 3>It, and it wasn't he just stood there and it

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 3>was waiting for the announcement of wrong Crut's name. I

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 3>don't know if they were waiting for wrong Cut's name

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 3>to come up. He was supposed to announce Ron Curt

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Order the case maybe, but lucky he knew, and lucky

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 3>he's a footy guy that you know, you could have

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 3>had a few former pms. It would have been like

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 3>who is or what is what?

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>And political political side?

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but he did.

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>You could tell Albo's a footy guy.

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that was South so it wasn't foreign for him.

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.679
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, you know, he could have been like Malcolm

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Turmle up there and he would have had a clue,

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 3>you know what I.

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Mean, Like I wouldn't have had.

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Enemy ally for the code, isn't he Like he always

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 2>shows up at footy events. He's obviously a mad Souse fan.

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 2>He's got to re love of the game. It's we're

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 2>very fortunate to have someone like him in office. After

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>after he's.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 3>About to Scott Morris, about to tip six hundred millions,

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 3>so you know, hopefully, you know, I'm glad they waited

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 3>for him or playing their schedule around him, because he's

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 3>about to kip in a lot, a lot of cash.

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Can we get him in a Johnny Howard Dragon's style

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.880
<v Speaker 1>parachute tracksuit for for his walks version?

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 4>Does his own tips?

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, for the timming comp right? He always tips?

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 3>House should ask me if he's always going to tip PGT.

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting because Simon McLachlin, our deputy sported on the

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 1>telegraph there is in contact with the highest office in

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.679
<v Speaker 1>the land and he's desperate to talk about footy how

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So it's yeah, wow, a bit of

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>inside loves it.

0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 2>So down the ship. Wow, shocking was.

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Just a fired firing a shot without just a drive

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 1>by from you.

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Just just bring my condolences to the PM. The way

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 2>his team's going, they've been diabolical.

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh dear, And I'll tell you what that I was on.

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I was cheering South last week because yeah, I need

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a paramatter with the spoon. She's all the disappointment have

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 1>been a Souse fan, but theoun actually liking them and

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.199
<v Speaker 1>going this is come on, someone stand up. And what

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>about the finish of that game? Oh my god, I

0:18:54.040 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 1>was celebrating like Dave fur and saw that, well you reckon.

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>There was a little bit of we've got him, got

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>him here, and then that went pretty under the radar,

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:10.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't it? The celebration from the house box and then

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the disappointment the.

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Head that are pretty like they adjusted pretty well. Yeah,

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 3>I would have been smashing stuff.

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 2>You're you're a angry man though, You've got a bit

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 2>of a.

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Volatile you are breaking strash plates and stuff. How volatile

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 1>will you be this weekend? Sharks Dragons, big game?

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Not really.

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Real passion?

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Can we get you out of your dad in here?

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I need a bit of passion? Have you given him

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the fifty back?

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeard?

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you heard this?

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 2>What's telling?

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:45.120
<v Speaker 4>Did I turn this though?

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 2>This is about the wooden spoons?

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.920
<v Speaker 3>No? No, no, So Braith and I had a bet

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 3>while you're gone about Dragons v Bulldogs, like fifty dollars.

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 4>On three sixty wow for charity for charity.

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 3>So I paid him up, like.

0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 2>That'll make a real difference.

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 3>So I've paid you. I've paid him on the show

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.400
<v Speaker 3>on Wednesday night and on Wednesdays when I do three

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 3>sixty my parents come over to help Clary look after

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 3>the kids. Anyway, So there's fifty dollars left on my

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 3>coffee table, and I said, what's this, he goes. Dad

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 3>gave me the fifty back because he felt bad for making.

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Myself such a bad team. It is his fault though,

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, you've want to camp this century. He's got

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 1>nothing to apologize for now.

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't.

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 4>But I had lots of heartbreak as a child.

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 2>So that's a big gun. I hope for the competition's sake,

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>for the Sharks win because that at least keeps Brisbane

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and I think newcastles selling the race. If the wind

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.479
<v Speaker 2>keeps the dolphins, so it keeps a bit of interest.

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 3>About last, we'll clip that around that up and so

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 3>that to Flannel, that's fine hopefully.

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 2>He's a big fan of the show, is Flann.

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 4>But he rang in the other door. It didn't really work.

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>For the competition's sake. But you know, I think the

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.440
<v Speaker 2>dragon's playing good footy, aren't They was there on the weekend.

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>They were outstanding on the I mean the gold coaster

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.159
<v Speaker 2>for Diabolical has been most of the year. But dragons

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.360
<v Speaker 2>are really good. He's got to going good fun. It's

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 2>done a great job.

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>With them good dragons versus bad dragons. When they win,

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>they win well. When they lose, they get pumped.

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.959
<v Speaker 3>So the Sharks Trucks did well considered the Makeshifts Hart

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 3>pairing they had last week.

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 4>They've got a few.

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Players, yeah, Dan Atkinson, Yeah he's so chill.

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Just kicked the one from the silo that was underrated

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 3>to draw the scores level then kick the winning field goal.

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:32.240
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, he's they're just not the most convincing side.

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're going to go out straight sets. They fure

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 2>topped four. Yes, straight sets gone, like last year straight

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 2>sets and the year.

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 3>Before and the.

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Games in straight sets sets gone. I don't know.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Really well coached team, actually well coach team. He's actually

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 2>well coached. But they don't have the cattle. They're not.

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 2>They're not. I don't think they're. They're in the class

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.200
<v Speaker 2>at the top three teams.

0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But we did the drawl last year. It was a

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 1>release we said South sorry, Crown will got a soft draw.

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>You think this is contributed to where they're their lofty position.

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 3>They seem to win the games they should win, which

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 3>is half the battle. And in this I don't know

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 3>if they'll go straight that's ready. I don't think they

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:14.240
<v Speaker 3>win Week one.

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, then you're going to come up against maybe a

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 1>mainly or a Canterbury.

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, straight, that's ready, that's pretty easy.

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 2>They just they need Blake there with that team a

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>bit next year.

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. My item cominghin eighths come into the season because

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 3>I just wasn't convincing their forward park. I thought they

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 3>was two the same same. The f Blake signing is

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 3>huge form.

0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that'll be a difference maker them at eighth. You

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 1>had Raiders bottom four, which probably it's not quite gonna happen.

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>You have the Spoon again.

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Tigers Tigers.

0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can't remember. I think the drafts, maybe the Dogs.

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.440
<v Speaker 4>Maybe you would have had the dogs, that'd be worse.

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.679
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know the targets because you wouldn't you be trusted.

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember my head.

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't get back and find that.

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Pull that out the other week. What's that wouldn't spoon predictions?

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 3>I could send to Flanna that I didn't tip the company?

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Didn't you bag? And on ABC Radio? Is that what

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 2>he's talking about?

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Stations? You have a bag on the platform everywhere.

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 4>Very powerful.

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.960
<v Speaker 2>That's why he should be on the Immortal Voting Committee. Yeah, okay, sorry, yeah,

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that's silly. Eventually, PVL, if you're listening, Eventually.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 3>We had a chat to him. So not the next one,

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 3>the next next one for you, he won't be around?

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Will he still running the game?

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Could be?

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Are you pitching up for the next one?

0:23:57.480 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Premier League was pitching up for the next one?

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Said he could have help helped me out. He knew

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 2>someone could help me out.

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 3>I said, yeah, ready, but the next next one, I'm in.

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>What's the what's the criteria for getting a spot on there? Next?

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Is it? You're in there for life and a.

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Couple of positive stories. Don't write about Premier Rugby League.

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you might have stuffer a setback this week. Anything

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>else you're looking forward to this weekend? Panthers without Cleary,

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>no offense to the Raiders, but they're only playing the Raiders.

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I'll be intriguing to see Jerome again, just take command

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:33.879
<v Speaker 3>to that side. He was outstanding when Nathan was missing

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 3>last year, earlier this year, and you know they just

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 3>penrith over the last couple of years have found a

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 3>way to time their injuries like as silly as that.

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 3>That seems a very ridiculous statement, but a ridicular statement

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.440
<v Speaker 3>right then, like Jerome last year and he wasn't a

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent right, but still came back and played in

0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 3>a prelium and then got through most of the Grand

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Final and then like Nathan.

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Will be back.

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Wether or not he can get through the season will

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 3>be you know, it'll be a ticking time on that shoulder,

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 3>but you know he'll be back at some stage. So

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 3>they just keep on on truck and they went great

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 3>last week they were against the Storm.

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking forward to Storm Dolphins. I love I love

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 2>a Craig Bellamy Wayne Bennett clash going on for so

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 2>long now. Craig's got a great record against him, actually

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 2>really dominant record. He's obviously had a good team for

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.160
<v Speaker 2>a long time and we just saw that footage. Yeah,

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Cameron Munster looks back to his best.

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Can I say something equally as dumb as I just said,

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 3>the Storm of the the.

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Worst most dominant side I've seen.

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 2>It's fair cool.

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Like they're nowhere near one hundred percent, They're nowhere near

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 3>what I think they could produce, and that they go

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 3>to Penrith beat the premiers and walk away with the points.

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, three rounds ago, you've basically signed up the minor

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>premiership and I'm sitting there going.

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was one of their better performances.

0:25:57.920 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 3>It was.

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 2>It was in terms of convinced. They just put.

0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 3>In an eighty minute forwards at the top level.

0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 4>It's scary.

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you think he's cranky for no reason? Bellamy's the

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 1>reason why.

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 3>And it must be Fiveustralian from because he goes, I

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:14.200
<v Speaker 3>can see what we've got here, and I think he's

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 3>worried that come September if it's not there that they could.

0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 4>See this is a massive wasted opportunity.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.800
<v Speaker 3>I think that's probably where his ant comes from at

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 3>the moment, because they're going to finish Minor Premier.

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 4>It's clearly the best side this year. And I don't

0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 4>think they've been.

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Great, don't mean overly convincing, have they? They won a

0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of tight games. They win type games in Melbourne.

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 2>But geez, they've got some striker, everyone's available, everyone's fine.

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Great, Where do you fit far logo and.

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Like last week came on in the middle of the field,

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 3>they played half, then played wing.

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jason Royles, can you have a little word with

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.199
<v Speaker 1>your club, your former club down there? You might want

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to get a few up here with some.

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Clubs trying it. Horn Wish but they won't let him

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 2>go because he's so important to them. So some clubs

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 2>are willing to give him a starting spot. Melbourne say no, no, no,

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 2>hands off, You're staying here. And I don't think he

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 2>particularly wants to leave because he enjoys it down there.

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 2>It's good for his football.

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.640
<v Speaker 3>It's great for Yeah, so they.

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Look good Melbourne.

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Have we got a truckload of listener questions?

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.439
<v Speaker 2>I was on didn't There was.

0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:27.879
<v Speaker 4>A few for bars I have to explain it.

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Wow, few ones from Twitter voice of BARSK you liked him?

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, mate? Going then what do you come for

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 2>a control? Sorry for.

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Jay says proposal. You get six points instead of four.

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 3>If you score a try off a scrum promotes attacking

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 3>player back line movements.

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh mate, this is the silliest thing. What's this

0:27:55.960 --> 0:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>guy's name, jay Z? That's ridiculous, j Z. You should

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 2>stick hanging out with Beyonce. This is just insane.

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:11.360
<v Speaker 1>The good teams now how to score off?

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? There were I can't give different.

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:17.880
<v Speaker 3>You should get less if a scored off a kick

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 3>or whatever.

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, crazy talk. Jason.

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:23.120
<v Speaker 1>This is a this is a crack I saw. This

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 1>is a crack at MC. I like it.

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 4>It's been said by the DT that DT.

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, it's by Michael Carrianas who.

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:30.719
<v Speaker 4>Was on seven hundred and fifty k next year, pendeth

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 4>the pain all of it. Never said that.

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Can you explain how recently you said you couldn't understand

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:37.360
<v Speaker 3>the Tigers let him go. He was not on stupid

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 3>money and then said Lewis thought on seven to seven

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 3>fifty k was big money.

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 3>So Lewis has not played a game of NRL. He's

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty two, hasn't played a game of the NRL. They

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 3>signed him without the incoming coach and there's the risk

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 3>factors right as.

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 2>They signed him with out the incoming coaches. Imprimature.

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 4>I think, so okay, you know we don't just wondering ISLI.

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 3>The Tigers will pay about fifty thousand dollars of his

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 3>contract next season on about seven hundred thousand dollars, and

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 3>he's gone to the team that is the best team

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 3>in the competition. So how the Tigers, when they're looking

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 3>to get better, let a guy that's young has a

0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 3>massive upside. You've just signed a half that he can

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 3>play alongside, and you let him go and you're going

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.959
<v Speaker 3>to chip in a little bit. That's what it is.

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Tiger takes, yeah, man, and you're going You're going to

0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the best team of the comp who wants you there,

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and you have money burning a hole in your pocket

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 1>that you can't spend.

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 3>I would say seven hundred for is Papa is a

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 3>good is a fair deal. It's overs compared to the

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:46.680
<v Speaker 3>world who is produced so far this year. But Penrith

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 3>have signed him for basically that equivalent, and seven hundred

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 3>for Lewis Dodd is big, big money.

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, well said good Ben to you explain that, well, cop,

0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>that tiger takes.

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Get that up.

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 3>How does Ricky Stewart still have a job given as

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:10.479
<v Speaker 3>a similar record to Brad Arthur got punted mid season?

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Surely another foul season next year you have to get punted.

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Why doesn't the meatia get stuck into him like other coaches.

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 3>You've done some homework, kid, I.

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Did a little bit of homework. So you look at there,

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>You look at the last five years since they played

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>in that Greend final. They finished the following year fifth, tenth, eighth,

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 1>eighth and then twelfth this year on the slide and

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the Eels had that great run of fifth, sixth, fourth,

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>that fourth place in twenty twenty two which had a

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Grand Final and have then crapped the bed and have

0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 1>missed the last two finals. Records actually similar, Yeah, similar records, So.

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 2>There's more tour with Ricky though, right he's a big

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 2>part of the community down there. He's a club legend

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 2>who's a legend of the club. He's very close to

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 2>senior figures at the club. But I think it's as

0:30:57.760 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I said, it's about what he brings the off the

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:01.160
<v Speaker 2>field as for that community.

0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 3>And he does get a run, he does get a

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 3>lot of scrutiny.

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 2>It's camera, I guess, the hovering around.

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And this is the different but the different situations of

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the club between Paramatta and Cambra Camebra find a lot harder.

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Whether it's Ricky Stewart, I don't care if it's Jesus

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Christ down there. I'm trying to recruit players because it's

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>very hard to get players down to Cambra. And Ricky

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 1>has done this a couple of different tacks over the years,

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>hasn't he. When when the Raiders were great in the nineties, eighties, nineties,

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it was Queenslanders and Kiwi's that dried up when the

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Warriors and the Broncos came in and then he went Englishmen,

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but you kind of had to wait till they were

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.280
<v Speaker 1>proven before you bring them out, unless you're the West

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>South with Lewis Dodd. But now he's going with youth, youth,

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the under nineteen state of Origin guys that he's now

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.360
<v Speaker 1>rallying down there and that could be the backbone of this.

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 1>So he's got a plan. Ricky, he's thinking, he's looking

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of years ahead. And I don't think you can

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 1>compare a club like Paramount with what they've got with

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders and say that that's equal. I mean, I

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>know they're playing for the same prize, but very different situations.

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't think.

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:12.960
<v Speaker 3>I think with Ricky, if they get like they're they're

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 3>they're trying to redrivenate that roster right. Their spine is

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 3>not up to a great standard compared compared to others.

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 3>They've done really well by signing. How many New South

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I was d nineteen plays with have next five in

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 3>their top thirty next year.

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 4>It's a very different and it's different.

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 3>You know when you said mobs that they used to

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 3>go to, you know they've tried England they've tried New

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Zealand and Queensland. Now they're trying a different strategy and

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:41.200
<v Speaker 3>getting the best still going on.

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 2>They're just on the young Warrington back row as well

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Maddie Nicholson, so they haven't given up on.

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 3>England, but the wol So it's a it's a it's

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 3>almost like an NFL draft style sort of system that

0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 3>they've implemented. Right, So, but I can understand if I'm

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 3>a Raiders fan, the frustrations where they've been and how

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 3>stagnant they've been over the.

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Recon Yes, so you reckoners. A Raiders fan, see it's

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 1>funny because some Raiders fans really love Ricky and others

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 1>don't like him.

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 3>There's it's I think there's like I like, we all

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 3>like like Ricky.

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 2>And the yeah yeah but great theater.

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 3>I can understand what os Raider saying, Paigey, this is

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 3>for you READI can you explain the fine system? Does

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:26.280
<v Speaker 3>the player pay it from their own pocket? There's a

0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 3>club deducted from payments and where does it go? The

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 3>player pays it gets deducted from their pay.

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:36.200
<v Speaker 2>They doesn't get from their pay I can't remember where

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:37.560
<v Speaker 2>it goes. Actually, I think some of.

0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 3>It goes to welfare. If it's the judiciary, fine, so

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 3>there thousand dollars or whatever the case may be.

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 4>For a judiciary offense goes to education and welfare.

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Think, yeah, but the player pays it. They're supposed to pay.

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, it gets deducted from their weight.

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Not if you're Ryan Madison.

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Point emails right. So answer my question is around the Broncos.

0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:04.959
<v Speaker 3>Media has always mentioned them as one of the powerhouses

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:08.280
<v Speaker 3>of NRL and whilst this is true financially on the field,

0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:11.000
<v Speaker 3>their record is not great. Since two thousand and six

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:13.880
<v Speaker 3>they've matched the Warriors with two losing Grand finals in

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:16.359
<v Speaker 3>that time. One title in almost twenty years. Doesn't read

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 3>like a successful club to me. Do you agree they

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:22.799
<v Speaker 3>are an undeforming club considering their financial base and playoutpool.

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's our underperforming. That record should be a lot

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 2>better than that. They should have won a couple of

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a couple of premierships at least in that period. And yeah,

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I agree with your wholeheartedly. They've been disappointing, Yes, terrible

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 2>this year, really disappointing. This shoe after last year with

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 2>that squad and the talent they've got at their disposed

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 2>or they should be playing. Well, they're not out of finals,

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 2>but it's a long shot from here, but they should

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 2>be playing finals football every year. The Broncos yeap.

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Wayne went, Wayne came back, Ben Iken was signed, Ben

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Ike and left. This is the club that let Tom

0:34:57.320 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Diedon go. You know, they let Reece Walsh go before

0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 1>getting him back. This the recruitment of attention hasn't been great.

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, they lost four of their Grand finals seventeen

0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>then the last season and that was always going to

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 1>impact them.

0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Success probably come came a bit early for younger guys,

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:16.920
<v Speaker 1>but I think that, Yeah, I think they've underperformed across

0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the board and it's not just on the field.

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, significantly.

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 3>I agree. Boys. Now this you just mentioned Tom did

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 3>and Mark wants to know they're more underrated player in

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 3>the competition than Tom did in week in week out.

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 3>He is the most consistent player.

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I hate watching Tom didn't play paramatter. He tears them

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a new one every time. He just he's so dangerous.

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I love him. He's such a good player, very good

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:41.360
<v Speaker 1>and very good footballer.

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 3>Carried from the UK with Keen four and celebrated in

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:48.520
<v Speaker 3>his three hundredth game, Ready featured in his tribute video. Yeah,

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:50.880
<v Speaker 3>who are some of the players that have had the

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 3>best career revivals after periods of thinking they were gone?

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:58.319
<v Speaker 3>John Johnson, Chas, Nicole Klukstad last year, Bryce cart Right,

0:35:58.360 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Angus Crichton.

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a good list.

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:03.959
<v Speaker 4>Work for us their care.

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:08.400
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's yeah, anybody else pretty pretty bang

0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:12.320
<v Speaker 3>on in terms of eyes that are plane at the moment.

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 3>I can't think of another Benji Marshall. Guys that are

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:18.200
<v Speaker 3>playing at the moment you can go, you can go.

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 2>No just says who are the someone players you think

0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:23.439
<v Speaker 2>about the best? Screw doesn't say our players. Benji marsh

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 2>five shoulder recos went on to play. He's now in

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Fame.

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Ben I would have thought Michael Jennings was a thousand

0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and one to play in early season.

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one.

0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, crazy, but falses is ridiculous. He was after he

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:38.600
<v Speaker 1>left paramatter he was gone on undred and fifty six games.

0:36:38.840 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Dunsky and physically mentally broken.

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:44.480
<v Speaker 2>It's still broken, but he's a tough back physically now.

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:46.879
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, unbelieve it's as.

0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Tough as they come here and good fellow too good,

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Blake Joe, here is my gripe.

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, by the letter of the law, the Knights obstruction

0:36:56.400 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 3>of Kennedy is a penalty. And as I said that, yes,

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:01.279
<v Speaker 3>there was a answer that, well, Kennedy could have been

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 3>off side, but the bunker cannot rule on off side

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 3>players that the referee.

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Misses just putting in that wasn't a question.

0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:09.839
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't a question. It was probably a little bit longer.

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 1>No, that's but that's the line that out of that

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:16.480
<v Speaker 1>is that video referee wasn't in a position to rule

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>on the off side due to the halfway line position

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 1>of the broadcast cameras.

0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know, is that the answer is that

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 2>part of the question that was mob research, that was what, Well,

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:29.279
<v Speaker 2>have an issue with this rule? I think it's ridiculous. Yeah,

0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:32.800
<v Speaker 2>because we rule on off side from bombs and chips

0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:35.359
<v Speaker 2>and all that sort of stuff, what can't we rule

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:40.080
<v Speaker 2>on it for this? If it's later, if it's touching game,

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you're not sure, Okay, you stay with the live decision

0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:42.839
<v Speaker 2>like when you have everything else.

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 3>But if it's blatantly off side and they send it upstairs,

0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:47.320
<v Speaker 3>what are we doing? Are you going to tell me

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 3>we're going to get to a grand final. Because sometimes

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:53.360
<v Speaker 3>the referee checks field goals. They doesn't have to be referral.

0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes they check it and the bunker can see a

0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 3>guy a meter off side. They're going to let it

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:00.680
<v Speaker 3>go under side. Grand Fine, what.

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Can we use the Premier League use that technology where

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:06.239
<v Speaker 2>they put a line across and what can we get that?

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Can we not get that or.

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Should be able to?

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:09.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not that hard.

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:38:10.239 --> 0:38:14.399
<v Speaker 3>I also have an issue with them blockers. Oh my god,

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 3>do we have to go the big issue with the blocker?

0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:16.800
<v Speaker 2>We have to go?

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 1>What a mentioning that last night with Thurston.

0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I had a big issue with the book. They were

0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 3>not blockers on the weekend. Okay, that's not what the

0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 3>rule was brought in for. The rules brought in to

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:32.919
<v Speaker 3>stop two players standing next to the stay of the ball,

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.600
<v Speaker 3>not in a position to get the football, to halt

0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:37.440
<v Speaker 3>the markers access.

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:40.839
<v Speaker 2>I understand that, right, I understand that, But why are

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:42.960
<v Speaker 2>they standing there? They were never getting the ball.

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Because you know rugby league, you know, and every time

0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 3>they used the ball and there were a decoy, they were.

0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Never getting the ball. Just why can they just get

0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:51.360
<v Speaker 2>out the way, just get out the way you're going

0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 2>to kick a field goal, Get out the way and

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 2>let the block kick the field goal. So look, I

0:38:55.200 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 2>understand they weren't They were in a position to get

0:38:58.640 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the ball, but they were never getting the ball.

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Are you going to premp what every dummy half is

0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 3>going to do?

0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 2>You know that we're never getting the ball. You know,

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:06.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, getting the ball of.

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Course to do. So what happens though, sometimes once or

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 3>twice a year we'll see an off the cuff field

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:14.440
<v Speaker 3>goal off the cuff right there will be decoys in

0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:14.920
<v Speaker 3>front of him.

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Are going to rule that, Well, they'll get ruled out

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 2>then by the level of the law, because that's.

0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:23.919
<v Speaker 4>That's that is, doesn't matter rule.

0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Look, I understand your frustration with the rule, and I

0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:30.720
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. But my point is, if if you're worried

0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:34.160
<v Speaker 2>about I'm considering a penalty, just get out the way.

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 3>You know whether they're going to change, you know where

0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:41.160
<v Speaker 3>the changes off season when the guy kicking a field

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:44.439
<v Speaker 3>goal gets his legs taken out because there's a clear

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.880
<v Speaker 3>passage from the defender and a guy severely injured, and

0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:48.440
<v Speaker 3>they're like, oh, maybe we need to protect the kick

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:51.640
<v Speaker 3>a bit more. That's all happen.

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Away, just get out the way. But it's just getting

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 2>out the way.

0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 4>We all know what a blocker is, right, we all

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 4>know when they're setting up a war.

0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:58.759
<v Speaker 3>We thought we did know. We all know when they're

0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:00.839
<v Speaker 3>setting up a war. It's a common set decision, right.

0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:03.800
<v Speaker 3>If they're in a position to receive the ball and

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 3>they're not impeding anyone, or they can play it. If

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:07.719
<v Speaker 3>that was just a normal tacking plan they played out

0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:09.359
<v Speaker 3>the back to kaalam ponger, we'll just say nothing.

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 4>You don't even think twice about it, So we all

0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:13.400
<v Speaker 4>know what blocks We've just complicated.

0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:16.200
<v Speaker 3>We've just complicated it for no reason and we've added

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 3>an element to the game that we didn't.

0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:20.359
<v Speaker 2>But again, if those blokes just get out the way,

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 2>then it's not complicated, it's simple.

0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:25.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens in the final tun Wow, you

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>can just disappear. So now I'll just love that old

0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:28.920
<v Speaker 1>cliche Chris.

0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:32.200
<v Speaker 3>With norse in your bears obviously feeding the purse site.

0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 3>And if it goes ahead, newtown players going to Ipswich,

0:40:35.000 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 3>how will that affect the pathways of clubs like the Sharks,

0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Rouses and Storm have had agreements with these New South

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:43.239
<v Speaker 3>Wales Cup sides and therefore should we expand our State

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Cup competition as a result, Well, you definitely need to

0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:49.279
<v Speaker 3>expand the State Cup competition because Newtown are at.

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 4>The moment with the Sharks yep, and the Bears are

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:52.800
<v Speaker 4>with Melbourne.

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Those arrangements will obviously cease if they have an affiliation

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 3>with the other and are also the storm We've got cup.

0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:07.839
<v Speaker 2>CU Cup teams, yeah, I think maybe they were.

0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 3>You will mean the fact that, yeah, they either put

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:14.560
<v Speaker 3>their own New South Wales Cup teams or align themselves

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:17.920
<v Speaker 3>with other potential You know, we've seen men that we

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 3>Blacktown and we've seen Mountains coming and have an alignment

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:24.560
<v Speaker 3>with clubs in the past and the like, but potentially

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 3>may lead itself to one day the National Reserve RAIIR

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:30.759
<v Speaker 3>competition as well, which would mean every NURL club would

0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:31.880
<v Speaker 3>need something.

0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:35.240
<v Speaker 1>To look ben Ik and Mix making waves, not making.

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Enough drama going on there. Don't stir it up my

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 2>interest level.

0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't really care, mister power else and you're not

0:41:43.160 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 1>to stir up try you don't care.

0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Got to show a bit more passionate and care for

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:48.839
<v Speaker 2>the game will be on the vote.

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:53.319
<v Speaker 3>Do you care the National Reserve graide or their state

0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:55.440
<v Speaker 3>run reserve competition doesn't.

0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Bother me if plus Cup works well for Queensland.

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:02.000
<v Speaker 3>One thing I don't like is the gibbering Grand final

0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:06.239
<v Speaker 3>day of the New South Wales Cup premier. Just let

0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 3>let I rather have the Queensland Cup and the New

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:10.600
<v Speaker 3>South Wales Cup Grand Final decided on that day.

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:14.080
<v Speaker 2>We're both on the curtains. Yes, so the Queens and

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Cup Cup finals paid, of course if they want.

0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:18.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't care.

0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:20.640
<v Speaker 1>That's okay. I could be wanting.

0:42:22.960 --> 0:42:24.560
<v Speaker 4>I was pretending to care about Queens.

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thanks Queens, the listeners, the sorry, I apologize.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 3>On behalf of that game. I've watched that.

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Who cares exactly?

0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:38.880
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, who cares all the way covering your

0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 2>beyond your above beyond that for that exactly turn back.

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:47.640
<v Speaker 1>But no, I was anyway.

0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 3>That's a different debate, ye.

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Mind the national feed the team championship, what's it called.

0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:58.239
<v Speaker 1>It's probably on the drink, all drink all week. That's

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, and I don't really care.

0:43:02.560 --> 0:43:04.879
<v Speaker 3>The week before I don't just have a grand phone.

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.480
<v Speaker 2>The Queens get a free trip to Sydney and.

0:43:07.560 --> 0:43:09.800
<v Speaker 3>They can come and be created half time as the

0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 3>State Cup, the New Southwest couple of them a Taylor

0:43:14.840 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Sawn Johnson's final home game this weekend. Where does he

0:43:17.320 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 3>rank for you guys in terms of the best Warriors

0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:23.040
<v Speaker 3>the two part question best Warriors and then best Kiwi

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:23.919
<v Speaker 3>players of all time?

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking and Stacey's an obvious one about

0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Warriors and kiwyeh Stacy's private He was amazing, was a machine.

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:39.399
<v Speaker 2>But still he left and came back, and so did Sean. Yeah,

0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:39.799
<v Speaker 2>that's true.

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Did tell you who we didn't see enough of? And

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't for whatever reason for.

0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:53.239
<v Speaker 2>T Ordan rugby.

0:43:55.200 --> 0:44:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Worries everyone. He was so good that that team Clinton

0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Torpie and.

0:44:06.440 --> 0:44:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Remember Clinton Tory was against the Dogs in the finals

0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:15.279
<v Speaker 2>game once the score four or five tries unbelievable. So

0:44:15.480 --> 0:44:17.640
<v Speaker 2>good was so good?

0:44:18.239 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Everyone like practice like the Benji leak and whatever I

0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:22.840
<v Speaker 3>used to trying to hold the ball like.

0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 4>I just have a could do it with an international ball.

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:32.800
<v Speaker 3>But what about kes boys like like Benji for me

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:38.360
<v Speaker 3>is ahead of Williams, Roger, I Roger ahead of.

0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Johnson.

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Stacey in his prime was just ball on a string

0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:46.080
<v Speaker 1>type stuff, wasn't he really?

0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:48.320
<v Speaker 3>He may what about your man falls.

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:50.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a good point.

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Back to the whiz Freeman, anyone else you got Mark Graham,

0:44:58.239 --> 0:44:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Mark Graham.

0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Ruby Wicky was outstand because of a legend, was really

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:03.840
<v Speaker 4>good for the Warriors.

0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, on the list there somewhere where's Jabuga going? You know?

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Yet he's looking at around.

0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Freedom segue ever, So I'm just thinking, I'm thinking Warriors

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:17.320
<v Speaker 1>players and shopped people.

0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:21.719
<v Speaker 2>But we haven't got to buy it yet. Shopped him

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:23.200
<v Speaker 2>in some clubs, but we haven't got to buy it yet.

0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you got a guy with a Q cup?

0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:26.160
<v Speaker 2>People?

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:28.720
<v Speaker 4>A Q cup he's got to get has his way.

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Play jacks.

0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:36.080
<v Speaker 4>And I don't think they're asking for crazy money like did.

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not thinking he's happen to sign a one year

0:45:37.520 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 2>deal and I'd be.

0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:40.959
<v Speaker 3>Sign him for one year, low risk.

0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you.

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Jeff wants to know our State of Origin is a

0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:49.080
<v Speaker 3>brilliant watch and fiercely competitive.

0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Is it really the peak of our game anymore?

0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:53.279
<v Speaker 3>With so many of the great players not playing in

0:45:53.360 --> 0:45:57.880
<v Speaker 3>the series for Shaharis, Hughes, Phenol Blaken and the Key

0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:00.320
<v Speaker 3>where he's beat Australia thirty to Neil last year, So

0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Origin boys, is that still the pinnacle in terms, I

0:46:04.360 --> 0:46:05.839
<v Speaker 3>think it is spectacle.

0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I think Origin is because it's everything

0:46:08.560 --> 0:46:09.160
<v Speaker 2>that comes with it.

0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's the biggest show. It is the biggest show.

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:15.080
<v Speaker 1>It's you saw what it was this year. How big

0:46:15.160 --> 0:46:17.920
<v Speaker 1>it is? So a little hint on that we should

0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:20.799
<v Speaker 1>be getting a calendar announcement shortly.

0:46:20.840 --> 0:46:22.600
