00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Great nav your back bulldog.

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: It's good to be back break.

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: You've got rid of that white jacket.

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 4: It's having a rest.

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 3: I look at the replant.

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 4: I probably put on.

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 5: About five k's in that jacket. So I've gone back

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 5: to the blue. So I'm back to my fight.

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 2: Always blamed the jacket. That's that's the good I always did.

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: What about you, Gordyo, It's been a big week off

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: the back of the show. It's been covered all across

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: every media outlet. How has it been and how have

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: you cap?

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well you feel sorry for the people that are

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: involved in that's Adam Reynolds and Ali Briggan, sure and

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: the like, but you know it's footy and we move

21
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: on and it was a normal week when I when

22
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: I get back home on Dad so so and Billy

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: pulls me in the line. But it's not ideal, but

24
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: it is what it is. How did you feel about

25
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: the renaming of the meeting room? That did man me

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: one bit? You know, and I said it, yes on

27
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: Triple M. They'll never take away the memories and the

28
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: camaraderie that I got with the guys that I played there.

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 3: And I would say the greatest accolade that our family

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: got was the street named after my father going into

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: North Queens and I've got the Hall of Fame and

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: none of my family wanted to come, but we all

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: went there for that. So that's the highest song in

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: my family. So as long as I didn't take that away,

35
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: which I don't think that they will, we're okay.

36
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: All right.

37
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Well, Maddie John's waiting on the Broncos decision to rename

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: the Gordon tell Us conference room late last week for.

39
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 4: The Broncos to remove his name. I've got to say

40
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 4: to the Broncos, right, you're the.

41
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: Number one sporting club in rugby league in the world.

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: You're number one, But I tear what what you've done

43
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: makes yourself look pretty petty and pretty small.

44
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Opinionaire farm Maddie John's I'm interested to get the opinion

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: of you two.

46
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Start with you, ready, what did you think about this?

47
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: Well?

48
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 6: I agree one hundred percent of what Maddie said. I

49
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 6: think it's pretty Petty And you know, I think all

50
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 6: Gordy has done is expressed his viewpoint. I mean, we've

51
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 6: all been critical of the Broncos at some point in time,

52
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 6: and I think it's a pretty narrow minded view that

53
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 6: they've taken. I think it's quite sad, actually, I think

54
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 6: it's sad they've gone down that path. And you know

55
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 6: where does it end? Well, what if the next blow,

56
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 6: the next former player or someone criticized the Broncos, They're

57
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 6: going to remove there. They are going to take their

58
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 6: murals off the walls in the league club. I think

59
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 6: it's in the league club, Gordi, you have all the

60
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 6: captains up. I mean, it's silly and it's just as

61
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 6: Maddie said, it doesn't befit a club of the Broncos

62
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 6: size and.

63
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 5: Stature, incredibly thin skinned in my opinion too, guys. It

64
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: just shows how fragile that club is that they would

65
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 5: put criticism and justified criticism in many areas ahead of

66
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: a great light. The bloke sitting over here right now,

67
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: and as Gordy says, how does it make Ali Brigginshaw

68
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 5: feel to get that on which is up there on

69
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: the screen under those ccumstantus incredibly poor form from one

70
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: of Australia's biggest sporting franchises.

71
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: And I'm with you, thin skinned, petty, fragile.

72
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: Adam Reynolds did shut it down yesterday. He sent a

73
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: message into Triple and people just need to get over it.

74
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: It's an opinion at the end of the day.

75
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Some people agree, some people don't. People are making a

76
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: fuss over nothing.

77
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: Gordy just on that Adam was the bigger man. And

78
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: when it broke on Sunday, I got a phone call

79
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: and then I told the guy it was like a

80
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: middle man. I said, tell Adam, it wasn't personal, like

81
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: if you sit there, it's And I keep on saying,

82
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: it's three hours into a show and they grabbed the

83
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: headline and they make it a problem when if they

84
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: sat and they put the whole lot on it, well

85
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: it wasn't. I just said, it's not great optics.

86
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 6: I don't agree with you.

87
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: Gordy. Well, he might have known that he wasn't going

88
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: to play. I didn't know that. You know, when you

89
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: don't get all the information and you say it and

90
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: if they grabbed a snip breath and they've grabbed snips

91
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: off you and everyone yeah, well you guys are and

92
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: it doesn't you know, it doesn't read as well as

93
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: when you read in the bat for you he had

94
00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: your back last week.

95
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: Thank you?

96
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: Really, I tell you you know who your friends are, mate,

97
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: when you're in the trend.

98
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: Proud of that. I'm about it.

99
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: But actually I want to dive a little deeper into

100
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: the renaming of this conference room. That's what it was,

101
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: a conference room. I believe why they change it?

102
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: Where did it come from?

103
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Is there actually anyone who gives the substance into the

104
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: actual reason or well have.

105
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: Made the call? That's what I really like to know. Well,

106
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 5: I mean, you've got the CEO. Was a board decision.

107
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 6: I don't think it would have been a board decision

108
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 6: to change the room like that, but.

109
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: Because he rang me and told me obomba after the

110
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: last week.

111
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 6: But I want to come from the upper echlands of

112
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 6: the club. You don't make a decision like that without

113
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 6: the people in power knowing about it and approving it.

114
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 6: So we're talking there, Carl Morris and Dave Donnie. Look,

115
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 6: I have immense respect for Carl and Dave. You know

116
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 6: I don't. I've got a great relationship with the Broncos.

117
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 6: But I think they've completely missed the mark on this

118
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 6: and I think in time they'll live to regret this decision.

119
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 6: I think they'll realize that they made a mistake, and

120
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 6: you know, I hope they. You can't reverse it now

121
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 6: because that'd be the ultimate slap in the face for

122
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 6: Ally Briggingshaw. So you can't reverse it, but you'd like

123
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 6: to see they fix this somehow.

124
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Well, the Brisbane Broncos are officially back. After trailing by

125
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: fourteen points in a half time, the Broncos pulled out

126
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: an incredible comeback, breaking a ten year losing streak.

127
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,320

Speaker 1: Melbourne Storm were home, but shortly into that second half

160
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: it was the Broncos.

161
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: Confidence is king.

162
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: They got their mojo back and could possibly turn around

163
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: their season. Yes, it's only around three, but a very

164
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: important win for them.

165
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 6: Huge for them, but huge I mean, if you are

166
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 6: in three, I wouldn't say seasons over. It's a long

167
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 6: way back. And they showed a bit of resilience. That's

168
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 6: the thing they've lacked in the opening couple of rounds.

169
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 6: I've had no residience defensively. But they defended magnificently in

170
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 6: that second half of that game. And they've got weapons.

171
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 6: We know they've got weapons who can score points. So

172
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 6: that was always going to come, but they had to

173
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 6: get the defense right and they got it right.

174
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 5: Toni staggers. We thinking he's the best center of the

175
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 5: game at the moment on form.

176
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: That's a big call.

177
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what he's been.

178
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: Fantastical. I tell you what we've got. That's a big call.

179
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 5: We've got Stephen Crichton right, Herbie Farmworth and I reckon

180
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 5: he is in the top three.

181
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: Play for Australia.

182
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: He's a great player.

183
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 6: But that's a big calls.

184
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 5: Melbournilm got a mental mental blank against I think they

185
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 5: got the jitters again.

186
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: I mean that they were thinking about the Grand Final and.

187
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: Entered their heads.

188
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: They stopped playing footy and you know subconsciously when you

189
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: when you're in a position of that.

190
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: They were against Brisbane in the.

191
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: GF and they come into this game, they've got the

192
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: lead at the cruise in a halftime and then bang

193
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: bang the Broncos come.

194
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: Well Brisbane, they were eleven from eleven to start the

195
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: second half. That's hard. And they started controlling the ball

196
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: and as you said, Catni Stags, they started hitting their slots.

197
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: But defensively they were a lot better. That's an attitude thing.

198
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: And Brisbane, like they know playing Melbourne, they know there's

199
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: being barbs you shot across the bow from like both

200
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: clubs and it's a big game for him. But they

201
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 3: actually stood up.

202
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: The challenge for Melbourne this year and I thought it

203
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: was going to be coming into it is against the

204
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: best teams in the cold and can they go to

205
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: that extra level? You know, can they because because the

206
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: last couple of years, if they cruise through a season,

207
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: they do it every year and they get to the

208
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Grand Final like they have the past couple of years,

209
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: and when they have had to go to that next level,

210
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: the other teams have gone and they haven't. And it's

211
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: it's the challenge they're going to have this year. With

212
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: not as much depth and key positions, they've still got

213
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: their spine, but no Ei Kataha and we've gone through

214
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: Nelson and perhaps and all that. There's going to be

215
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: games at the back end of the year where they

216
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: don't have the squad they had last year and they've

217
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: got to go to a different level.

218
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: So it's definitely a challenge for them.

219
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 6: It's almost like they lacked that extra gear breaking times

220
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 6: right now when things get really tough and the good

221
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 6: sides are playing at their best and the old days

222
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 6: Melbourne just flick a switch, right and maybe, but the

223
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 6: last couple of years and those big games just like

224
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 6: that switch.

225
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 5: That's two years too ready. You're talking about with a

226
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 5: stronger overall squad and depth.

227
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: Than this year. So I think you're right they can

228
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: get there. They'll be around the time. Also, yeah, preading

229
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: final doesn't count.

230
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: You've got to win it and I don't think that

231
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 5: can go that extra step to claim the title.

232
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: All right.

233
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: Star recruited Dally Cherry Evans has addressed the rooster's poor

234
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: start to the season, admitting they're nowhere need where they

235
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: need to be.

236
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 9: Honestly, I haven't thought too much about it. Our season

237
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 9: hasn't started off to plan, so there's been more to

238
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 9: focus on here at the Roosters than to worry about

239
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 9: when the game against Manly was coming. But we've been

240
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 9: really clear on a process that we wanted to follow

241
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 9: and at the moment, as players and myself definitely included,

242
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 9: we're not getting a few things right on the process

243
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 9: and the performance side of things, and I can promise

244
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 9: you we're working around the clock to try and fix it.

245
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 9: So we'll continue to do that, keep putting the work

246
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 9: in each week to get the performance we want on

247
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 9: the weekend because at the moment hasn't been at.

248
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 10: A level that we believe that we can play to.

249
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 9: But that the reality is it's round three, so we've

250
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 9: got to take our lessons from those first three weeks

251
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 9: and then keep working towards what you know, we believe

252
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 9: is our best footing.

253
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: Yes, the Painter of Panthers were brilliant, but the Roosters

254
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: were far from it. They are pretty ordinary, dominated by Penrith,

255
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: and again it was mistakes, errors and discipline that really

256
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: hurt them. Not one of their better games by a

257
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: long way, and that's two from three. Now they've really

258
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: struggled in what are we thinking here?

259
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 6: Well, they lead the interal and eras and penalties considered

260
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 6: breath and that's the biggest problem. We pointed it out

261
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 6: last week. I think it was their penalty the penalties

262
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 6: they've conceided in the eras they've made in recent years,

263
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 6: and it's been their achilles heel, and you have to say,

264
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 6: on the basis of three weeks, it's still an achilles heel.

265
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 6: I mean, you look at that team. Everyone was talking

266
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: it up before the season started. This is the team

267
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 6: is going to win the comp. But when you make

268
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 6: the eras and penalties they make, you don't give yourself

269
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 6: a chance to win the comp unless they fix that.

270
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: Up on a few troops. Right, So there's a couple

271
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: of big forwards that come back in Rad and Lend

272
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: that will add that little bit of X factor in

273
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: like the sphere. But you're right, if you keep on

274
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: making mistakes with the way the real changes are gone,

275
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: with the fatigue and the game, it's going to cost you.

276
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: But just one thing on DC, when you leave a club,

277
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: the first thing you look at, breath is the first thing,

278
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: like just laugh, we're playing this week.

279
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: We'll get to that.

280
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 4: Why why are the roots of so ill disciplined? I mean,

281
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 4: it's such a high quality side.

282
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 5: It's a high quality discipline in the club, it's a

283
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 5: high quality coaching staff.

284
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: They've got all the ingredients to be incredibly disciplined.

285
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 5: Yet week after week we send the city here and

286
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 5: pinpoint the same mistakes and the same errors and the

287
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 5: same What do you reckon it is? Well, I don't

288
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: know good. I wish I had the answer. If I did,

289
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 5: I'd tell Trent Robinson. I mean, clearly he's incredibly frustrated

290
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 5: by the same theme which seems to be revolving a

291
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: week after week.

292
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: And the problem is brought of at snowballs because if

293
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: they don't control possession and they don't complete their sets

294
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: in defense, they're vulnerable.

295
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: It's not a rookie side break.

296
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: But that's what I mean questioned in.

297
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 6: The current environment, right, if you're giving away six against

298
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 6: the coach, you can go ten minutes without getting the

299
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 6: footy in the carr That's right.

300
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: You mentioned trenton Robertson Ready if you heard any noise

301
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: around Robert or.

302
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 6: It's funny break. There's been a a rumor going around

303
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 6: the broad might pack up and move to France at

304
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 6: the end of the year. Actually, and I've heard it

305
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 6: from about three different people in the past Fortnite Irang

306
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 6: ironic prolis because I mean, obviously he's I think he's

307
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 6: wise French. And there's always been this talk that Robbo

308
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 6: will go back there at the end of the end

309
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 6: of his career. Ironic politis about today. It is absolute rubbish.

310
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 6: Robbo is going nowhere. I've always said it on here break.

311
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 6: You know, I think the greatest pressure pressure on Robbo.

312
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 6: There's a pressure he puts on himself. And this is

313
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 6: the guy who's won three comps. I think it's been

314
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 6: seven years since I want to camp the Roosters, and

315
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 6: that's a long time for a club like that, with

316
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 6: like Nick and this is he's clubs Nick and he

317
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 6: loves Robert.

318
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 3: I get all that, But I reckon he loves winning

319
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: more than anybody else that's ever been at the club.

320
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: And that's and they are a proud club and they

321
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: are winners. And is it true that he gives them

322
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: a premiership winning side every year, But that's what he believes.

323
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 6: I don't think he's under pressure. I think, as I said,

324
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 6: maybe if they get to the end of the year

325
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 6: and it's been a shocking year, then there'll be pressure

326
00:13:59,520 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 6: of some sort.

327
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: Well, there's got to be on other coach. Two state

328
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 3: of origin players. They brought a number nine played state

329
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: of origin a number six.

330
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 6: He's one three comps. He's got one of these, one

331
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 6: of the greatest coaches in the modern game.

332
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: Waynes won six and he gets moved on.

333
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you, Nick, as you said, quite rightly,

334
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 5: has this unwavering support for Trent Robinson, and that's fine.

335
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 5: ROBO's deserved that support through a lot of success over

336
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 5: many many years. He's not going anywhere. He is not

337
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 5: going anywhere. Nick would not and that powerful board and

338
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 5: no one for their loyalty. And I don't think Robbo

339
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 5: is under any pressure whatsoever.

340
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: Even if they I remember in two thousand, if they

341
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: missed the four for the first week, I'm finally.

342
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: Think the pressure in.

343
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 5: Two thousand and six, then they run fifteenth and people

344
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: are saying they're going to get.

345
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: Rid of him.

346
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 4: They didn't get rid of him.

347
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 10: Didn't he go back to back or three is in

348
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 10: row for sure this year.

349
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying Robo is going to accept money thirteenth,

350
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: but I can almost guarantee you he is not under

351
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 5: pressure in terms of.

352
00:14:59,320 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: Losing his job.

353
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: That was when they rebuilt this to them back then.

354
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: But you say that they're you know, the power brokers

355
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: and the board and Nick. They're very loyal, but they've

356
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: been successful in their own right for good reason.

357
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: They demand success. They want to win.

358
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: So like, you know, I agree, I don't think he's

359
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: under pressure, but you can't tell me if the season

360
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: continued on like it was and he wouldn't be under

361
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: the blow to which, like I'm sorry, no one is

362
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: safe in our game, no one.

363
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 5: You know that Rooster's board break burn anybody, and you

364
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: know it's high profile, that's very powerful.

365
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: They don't pull the trigger quickly, but they're.

366
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: In their intelligence that they know that when they want

367
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: to win, that they know that they need.

368
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 8: To win.

369
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: The thing.

370
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: The team's ready.

371
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: They've got no excuses this year, right, So if you

372
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: can provide a team like that to one of the

373
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: best coaches in the world, then you've got to be successful,

374
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: right And how long do you give a coach who

375
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: has that team?

376
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 6: Do anyone say he's underpressure?

377
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: Now?

378
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: Right?

379
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 6: I mean that's unrealistic, not right.

380
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: If they lose, are making it sweet?

381
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 6: If they lose, there's not go one and three and

382
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 6: then heats up a little bit. Right, But if they

383
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 6: have a shocking, if they have a shocking year, they

384
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 6: have to have an absolutely abhorrent.

385
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: Year, right, they're not going to have a shocking here,

386
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: look at that roster. What do you think really they

387
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 4: cannot have.

388
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: It because you didn't have to make in the last.

389
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: I'm an eskimo.

390
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: Okay, can we just cut that up there? We can

391
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: cut it up. I think you'd be saying, I'll tell

392
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: you what.

393
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 6: The signs aren't great at the man for being brutally

394
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 6: honest about it. Actually, the signs aren't great. This one's bad.

395
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 6: The defense is two of the three weeks of defense

396
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 6: has been disgraceful.

397
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Robert guy, but to like, even on the weekend, he's

398
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: just everywhere he's or class, puts his heart and soul

399
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: into that jersey like he was probably the only player

400
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: where he just you know, you can just rely on

401
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: every single week.

402
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 5: The result was unacceptable, but we have to remember to

403
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: look at the opposition. That was one of the most

404
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 5: comprehensive clinical performances I've.

405
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: Seen the rooster.

406
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 6: I get that readers just don't lose like that.

407
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's acceptable.

408
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that, let's at least put it into

409
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 5: context in some way, some form that it was against

410
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: the red hot side.

411
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, well what about against the Warriors when it

412
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: was forty points?

413
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agreed.

414
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: I'm not sitting here Gordon saying they're going to win

415
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 5: the cop. I'm just saying, let's be patient. They're a

416
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 5: high quality side, the high quality board.

417
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 4: It's in their DNA to win.

418
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: They will be back.

419
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 4: They will be back.

420
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll revisit.

421
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: This is the egos on DC has also addressed his

422
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: upcoming return to brook Vale.

423
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 9: I'll take him the Yeah, the opportunity to go back

424
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 9: to a place where I've spent fifteen years of my

425
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 9: career is really exciting. It's like I said, it's not

426
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 9: a negative. Otherwise I'd probably be more inclined to hide

427
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 9: from him this week. But look, I'm not going to

428
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 9: know what it's like to walk in there as an

429
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 9: opposition player until Thursday night, so I'm fine with whatever

430
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 9: comes my way. My relationship with the Hill has been

431
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 9: awesome the whole way through, So yeah, it's not to

432
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 9: say people won't boom. I'm very, very comfortable with so

433
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 9: many friendships and relationships I've got with the manly fan base.

434
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 9: I would say, as long as the club's not in

435
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 9: a position where they're holding any young kids back.

436
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: That would be my priority right now in my career.

437
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 9: If the Roosters didn't have space for me next year

438
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 9: because of the potential of someone else, that is completely okay.

439
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 9: I'm definitely not going to be someone who probably retires

440
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 9: mid year as well when it comes to an announcement,

441
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 9: I think you guys know by now if I if

442
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 9: I retire, I'm going to be off into the sunset.

443
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 6: You'll never see me again.

444
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: So I think it's fair to say DC and seeing

445
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: Walker already they're not firing. It's only Round three will

446
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: reintroate that. But their form hasn't been great. What's your

447
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: take on this.

448
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 6: I've written a story about Sammy Walker tomorrow, Braith, and

449
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 6: I think everyone thought that when DC got there would

450
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 6: unleash Sammy obviously had that difficult year last year, which

451
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 6: we debated quite often last year. I think people thought

452
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 6: that that DC arriving would unleash him. But if you

453
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 6: look at his stats, and again it's pure stats, but

454
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 6: he has not a triassist, has had a line break,

455
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 6: He's had one line break assist. He's conceived a lot

456
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 6: of penalties, he's missed a lot of tackle through three

457
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 6: rounds and it's just like Sammy, I think, and I've

458
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 6: got to stress I love him as a footballer, right,

459
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 6: I think he's an amazing footballer, But at the moment

460
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 6: is just not working. And I don't know whether it's

461
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 6: he's can take some time for him in DC to

462
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 6: work out how they play together, but at the moment,

463
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 6: it's not working at the moment and it's hurting them.

464
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 5: Savings at his best when he's got the ability to

465
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 5: drift both sides, to me, just looks like a little

466
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 5: bit boxed in on that left hand side, which is

467
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 5: not natural for him. And I think you'll find when

468
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 5: he's first receiver that puts DC as the second pivot

469
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 5: and that's where DC, I feel, is most uncomfortable break there.

470
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 5: I think perhaps they're a little bit hunky.

471
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: I think they'll play themselves in the form and any

472
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: new a combination when they meet some easier teams. I

473
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: mean it's only round one or two.

474
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 1: Then they come into a Round three against Penrith through

475
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: other Premiership favorites right now because they're red hot and

476
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: then deservedly so, so they kind of need a run

477
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: of matches where because they've got so much class in

478
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: their team where they can build that on that combine

479
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: and gets some confidence, you know, and that belief in

480
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: the systems and also that combination that they've got there.

481
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: At six or seven. But at the moment, yeah, they're struggling.

482
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 6: It's an interesting combination both because you talk to a

483
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 6: lot of people about DC and he looks like a

484
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 6: really structured organized football right but he plays a lot

485
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 6: off the cuff and that's what Sammy does really well.

486
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 6: So you've got two guys who play a lot of

487
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 6: off the cuff footy and it doesn't necessarily blend dog.

488
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 2: You're a prominent figure in Manly. How do you think

489
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: you'll be received at brook Pail?

490
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 10: Oh, look, breath, you know what.

491
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: I hope he gets booed.

492
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: And when I say that, I don't hang on, let

493
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 5: me finish before you jump down my throat.

494
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: I don't say it in a malicious way. I just

495
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: think that's what rugby league is about.

496
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 5: It's about doing getting there, expressing yourself, having a good time.

497
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 4: If a bloke's left. You know what, you stick it

498
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: to him.

499
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: You give it to him.

500
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 6: They didn't do him last year in his sharking, but

501
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 6: he's still at a manly.

502
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 10: Jersey last year.

503
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 4: This time he comes out in a different jursey. That's

504
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: true what rugby league is about.

505
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 5: That's what makes our game so beautiful, that we do

506
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: these things and we stick it to blokes that have

507
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 5: second they'll do it, Yes, you do. Look, I saw

508
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 5: someone online that I's saying they're going to take a

509
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 5: banner saying we love you daily.

510
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: But I know what my mates are going to be there.

511
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 3: They're going to do it.

512
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes a good blake. What would you do? I

513
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: don't care. Really, did you get hit out critics.

514
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Of his brother Jacobs your affairs to face his old

515
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: captain on Thursday night?

516
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: What are you going to do the daily?

517
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: Mate?

518
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 11: What am I going to do daily? What have I

519
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 11: done to anyone?

520
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 3: Really?

521
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

522
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 11: I really think it's unfair that he is coming on

523
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 11: the criticism. I think he's been you know, the way

524
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 11: he's gone after these first two weeks, considering his coming

525
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 11: off off a head injury last year, has been great.

526
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 11: So everyone here really appreciates what he brings and knows

527
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 11: how important he is to.

528
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: This team, not only is the player but as a person.

529
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 11: So the commentary around him is very unfair and he's

530
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 11: an integral part of this team. You know, we haven't

531
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 11: been good enough and we haven't managed momentum and has

532
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 11: definitely as we're going to grow on. But as a group,

533
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 11: you know, we've talked about that. We'll focus on that

534
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 11: this week and hopefully bringing a Thursday. Look, yeah, it's

535
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 11: a high pressure pressure environment. For instance, we've lost two

536
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 11: games and we're under the pump and that's just how

537
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 11: it is, and deliver if you don't run the pump

538
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 11: as what it is.

539
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: Bulldogs by it, jeez, bulldog, you've taken a shot at

540
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: a club legend here saying that father time has caught

541
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: up with him.

542
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 5: Honestly, was a very hard, colder rite and read you

543
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 5: live in the mainly area too, you know as well

544
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 5: as I do the esteem that Jake boybitch has.

545
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: Held over there.

546
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: But I thought.

547
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 5: It was time to write a story that said Jake

548
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 5: has to now start to look at when it ends.

549
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 10: And this is an emotional story, not a stats story.

550
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 5: But he's played two hundred and forty three games, nearly

551
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 5: nine thousand tackles and twenty thousand run meters.

552
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 4: What he's done for that club is amazing. Okay, that's

553
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 4: a lot of it.

554
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 5: But hang on, Gordon, it's not what you've done for

555
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 5: the club. Most coaches now say what can you do

556
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 5: for the club? Not the past, it's the future. Jake

557
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 5: has had eight runs this year for fifty four meters.

558
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 5: He hasn't made a line break in twenty eight games.

559
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: And please, I do not want this to.

560
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 3: Be a bash, Jake to Ward.

561
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 4: It's because we all love.

562
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: It's got a bash.

563
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 4: It's it's simply saying, break, you had to retire, You

564
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 4: had to retire. The time comes.

565
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: You guys know when the time came. Get aggressive?

566
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 4: Oh I'm getting aggressive because you're rolling me out. Do

567
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: you think Jake knows it's time?

568
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: Though? I reckon looking at Jake, knowing who he is,

569
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: I reckon he won't go one year to I think

570
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: he's so honest in himself, like the way he plays,

571
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: the way he gives himself to the game of rugby league.

572
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 3: I don't think he's a guy that's going to sit

573
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: there and milk it for like years to come.

574
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 6: He's got to make a decision the next six weeks

575
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 6: because he's got an option that he has to take

576
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 6: up by round ten for next year to be in a.

577
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 3: Tough place center because of the DC situation.

578
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say, is this putting

579
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: more pressure on sleeves here.

580
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 6: I've got to sell spoken Seeds about Jake break and

581
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 6: he's been like I was going to write Simil story

582
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: to Bulldog a couple of weeks ago, and I spoke

583
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 6: to see.

584
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: Ago.

585
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 6: I spoke to see it's about the situation. Seeds was

586
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 6: glowing in what Jake is bringing to the team right now.

587
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 6: Is it's not about necessarily about the runs anymore. It's

588
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 6: about the other stuff. It's about Jake being around the

589
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 6: young blokes. You know, he tackles a game.

590
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: What it does is that comes out a less surprise.

591
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 6: Well, but the option is a less serprise. Look, I

592
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 6: think Jake knows what. I think Jake is smart enough

593
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 6: to know within himself whether he needs to call the day,

594
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 6: and I think he will. I think of the clubs smart,

595
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 6: they'll sit down with Jake. I know Jason King has

596
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 6: been speaking to Jake about the future. If they're smart

597
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 6: they'll sit down with Jake. They'll say, mate, he's a

598
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 6: ten year deal, two hundred grand a year. You're in ambassador,

599
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 6: you're on the coaching staff, but retire because and if

600
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 6: he's given that option, you've got to take it, because

601
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 6: there's a five one thousand dollars option there for him.

602
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 6: But if you get off for two million bucks the

603
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 6: next ten years, I know what I'm taking. It's a

604
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 6: two million dollars. So I think of the club smart

605
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 6: and I know Jason King's a smart guy. He's been

606
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 6: talking to Jake consistently about his future, and Jake smart

607
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 6: enough to know whether he can go around again.

608
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 5: I think he knows that the end is nine is

609
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 5: him being selected as a bench play.

610
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: Does that prolong him a little longer? Potentially?

611
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: Potentially?

612
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: Potentially, But his style of play is not really off

613
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: the impact, right, his style of players he's well it

614
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: will His goal would be to be the glue in

615
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the ruck and to make.

616
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: His tackles and he's sure passing just to try and

617
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: get a one on one.

618
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 6: That's what he does now break That's how he plays, right.

619
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 6: I mean he's almost like a ball playing forward, right.

620
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 6: That's what he does now, that's why he doesn't have

621
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 6: the run the run council with.

622
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Just for his Sea Bowl. Is a number of coaches

623
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: that are under pressure. He seems to be one of them.

624
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: Zero and two to start the year and they need

625
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: to win this week.

626
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: Well, if a zero and three, he is under the pump.

627
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about that.

628
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 5: We just spoke about Trent Robinson and I suggested he

629
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 5: wasn't under pump. Robbers obviously won three premierships. Sleeves has

630
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 5: it won one yet. I think Anthony Seaboll at the

631
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 5: moment is the right.

632
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: Man for the job.

633
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 5: You cannot appoint a blow to coach your team for

634
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six and then get rid.

635
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: Of him to two games. It's ridiculous.

636
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 5: I think they've got to get him at least halfway

637
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: through the season before they sit back and go, okay,

638
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 5: let's take stock.

639
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 3: Where are we at?

640
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 4: What's the future hold? Is it a man to take

641
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 4: us forward?

642
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 6: I think it's the madness. It's the madness of rugby league.

643
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 6: We're talking about him and Toddy Payton. After three rounds?

644
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: What's the madness?

645
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 6: What's crazy? I mean, there's three rounds into the year

646
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 6: Toddy's won a game. Now, yeah, you know you can

647
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 6: shame Flanning and going three, we're not talking about him,

648
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 6: and I don't think I should stress. I don't think

649
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 6: we should be. We're not talking about Flunner. If you

650
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 6: look at their records over the past three years, Sieves

651
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 6: got a bigger winning percentage of Flannel. We're not talking

652
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 6: about Flunnel, So what's that? What's that?

653
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 2: What's the record?

654
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 6: He's Flannels thirty thirty eight percent or some Seves is

655
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 6: forty nine. And again I don't think we should be

656
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 6: talking about Funnel. But again we shouldn't be talking about Sieves.

657
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 6: After three rounds.

658
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: We've taken us there. Let's get to the Dragons. Didn't

659
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 2: mean to yarn't mean to you have? Is the pressure

660
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: on Flo.

661
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 6: Well, of course not. They've extended him at the end

662
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 6: of last season. I mean it's got a long term

663
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 6: extension there Flannel, And again I don't think there should

664
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 6: be pressure. Oh there you go. Are you blokes around

665
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 6: with them? Or was a fifty I under sold him?

666
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

667
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, but but obviously that club. I would say the

668
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 6: difference between between their situations exist. The Dragons are pretty

669
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 6: stable at the moment they were stable footy club. They

670
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 6: extended flannel at the end of last year, and that's

671
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 6: part of the reason I think you don't hear anything

672
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 6: out of the Dragons. And also Flanners reduced expectations. He

673
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 6: said they couldn't couldn't win the camp, right, so expectations

674
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 6: are lower.

675
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: Is that employee?

676
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: So was it a throwaway line or was he deliberately

677
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 5: trying to get it out there just to ease pressure

678
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 5: you what did you think?

679
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: I was surprised.

680
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: And they can't win the and I've.

681
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 4: Got a lot of time for flatter you know that.

682
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 5: But I am going to say I was surprised because

683
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 5: I didn't think other coaches would say the same thing.

684
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 5: But he came out the next day and said, I'm

685
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 5: just trying to be a realist here and not put

686
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 5: ridiculous expectations on my ho Would you feel good.

687
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 2: He as a player?

688
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: It just it doesn't get said. Those words don't come

689
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: out of your moth because you go there to win

690
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: every week, and I reckon deep down, it gives your

691
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: plays an excuse. That's That's like if I'm sitting in

692
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: there and a coach goes on and we're not going

693
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: to win the Grand Final.

694
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 6: We should say those percentages. I think for the last

695
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 6: three years when he still backtracking, well, I just want

696
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 6: to make sure that no, he had a great record

697
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 6: and I should stress that's the last.

698
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: Thing should be tied into the roster and where do

699
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: you think they're roster?

700
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 6: And I think that's should be And that's why gets

701
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 6: LaDue because that roster. He inherited, a roster that was battling.

702
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 6: He's trying to improve it. They're getting key on Klum

703
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 6: Tommy next year and as I said, I think that

704
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 6: administration Andrew Lancaster, Tim Watsford realized it is the right

705
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 6: man to take them forward. And that's the difference there.

706
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: They are rebuild right, yes, and that's why they resign

707
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: him with the end of last year and they've given

708
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: him the keys and said, you know what, we're going

709
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: to take a few steps.

710
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: Backwards to go forwards.

711
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: But we all know again like every other coach, people

712
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: getting patient and if you're not winning, then you're.

713
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 5: Under the gating because you know why, I reckon you're

714
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 5: scared of him.

715
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 6: Really well, you had a couple of phone calls for him.

716
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 6: I mean you revealed exactly what We've had a couple

717
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 6: of disagreements right to be with him A buzzes fair.

718
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: The others and says the Dragons need to be better

719
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: in big moments after the size lost to the Eels.

720
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, disappointed. Obviously, you want to win on three. You

721
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 12: never want to go on three. But that's that's where

722
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 12: we're at and that's what that's what the situation is.

723
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 12: So disappointed. We know what we need to fix it

724
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 12: to make sure we can turn it around, but it's

725
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 12: about doing it. Then, games are hard to win.

726
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 8: You have to be on for eighty minutes and as

727
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 8: probably was let us down the.

728
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 10: First three weeks where we're in the game for sixty.

729
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 12: Seventy eighty eight minutes and we just can't find the

730
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 12: way to get over the line.

731
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: Of the half comment between Akinson and then findings that open.

732
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 12: They're always going to be underscrutiny in those positions you do,

733
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 12: you get Joe's on winning and if you're not winning,

734
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 12: there's always going to be spotlight. So it's a team

735
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 12: sport and we've got to all look at ourselves. But

736
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 12: we just need to win and the best way to

737
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 12: do those practice and make sure that they come next Sunday,

738
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 12: We're already got.

739
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: Clink others in there admitting that the Dragons are losing

740
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 1: close games and saying it's kind of ongoing, an ongoing

741
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: issue from last year which they lost a lot of

742
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: close games as well.

743
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, they created it a lot yesterday against Paramatta,

744
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: and I reckon they strip Paramatter on the left side

745
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: for like numbers a couple of times, and I was

746
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: obvious that they probably could have scored a little bit,

747
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: but they just didn't take their opportunities. But they were

748
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: in their game and you couldn't fault the Dragon's attitude. Seriously, yes,

749
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: like they were.

750
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 5: It would be a very difficult side to cheer full

751
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 5: because they can play some real dumbfooty the Dragons.

752
00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 4: Sometimes.

753
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 5: I think they don't get to where they need to

754
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: be on the field at the right time, and their

755
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 5: game management is poor.

756
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 4: And I'm sure Flanna would be the first to admit that.

757
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 5: Yesterday, I think Cooper Kronk mentioned it multiple times that

758
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 5: Mitchell Moses on the right end edge when there's a

759
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 5: sin Bin Pataman a player and they couldn't get Moses

760
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: Sully one on one with him. Yeah, whose decision is

761
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 5: that it's got to go back to the Harves. They're

762
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 5: the ones who've got to get Sully on most how

763
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 5: the heart's going. Atkinson's a work in progress. I guess

764
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 5: you could say Breakkyle does.

765
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 4: What Cole does.

766
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 5: He's playing second field of Atkinson. He's only three games

767
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 5: into his career there. He's got some good points. I

768
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 5: think he gets a bit excited at times. The bullet

769
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 5: passed the Vale Holmes at the end which led to

770
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 5: the Addo car runaway try was a poor pass. He's learning,

771
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 5: is a kid.

772
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 6: It's a big game this week for all the wrong reasons,

773
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 6: right against your Gold Coast Titans, Gordy.

774
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: I think last game of the round, Spoon Battley, you

775
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: had an interesting reading.

776
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: He had an interesting squatted the other day I saw today. Yeah,

777
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: I did have this now.

778
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 5: A very good source rang and told me that that

779
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 5: Michael Ennis, the Dragon's assistant, was spotted having coffee with

780
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 5: Turbo out there at Brighton.

781
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 4: So I thought, I picked the phone up and ring Mick.

782
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 5: It was a bit surprised that I knew about this,

783
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,360
