We got 23 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: a lot of tech last night, people saying that they 24 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: were going to take the day off right.

No For the first like two hours, I'm 38 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: a piece of shit. But yesterday was really nice that 39 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: I could just sleep and in fact, I even stopped 40 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: got some fast food on the way home. Watched the 41 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: video on YouTube. Yeah, oh, well, you know I live 42 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: around the corner from particular fast food chain. Yeah, every 43 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: few of them, a few of them, but there's one 44 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: that's literally like what four hundred meters from my house. 45 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: It's actually harder to not go through there, that's right. 46 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: And the lights weren't playing ball, so I just carried 47 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: on straight, turned into there and ended up eating that 48 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: in front of the TV. It was delicious. Yeah. 49 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: And that was of course the out just around the 50 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: court of your house and drive through four and twenty piles. 51 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: The Grand Final last night, fourteen points to six in 52 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: the end. 53 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And as we predicted, it wasn't going to be 54 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: a high scoring A fair and I two of the 55 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: best defenses in the in the league. Yeah, it was 56 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: always going to be stingy a. I was talking to 57 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: Lane this morning about it. He's like, Oh, you could 58 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: have let me know beforehand. I had all these bits 59 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: on it being over X amount of points. Who did 60 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: you talk to? Well, hang on, you could have let 61 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: me know. Why are you putting bits on something if 62 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: you have no idea? I know what? And why didn't 63 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: you ask me beforehand? Yeah? He had. He had like 64 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: nine different bets that involved multiple tri scores, not in 65 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: the screen final. 66 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: I have not talked to anyone this morning, and I've 67 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: talked to a lot of degenerates today. I have not 68 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 2: talked to a single person who hit a bit last night. 69 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, I almost did. Shit, I almost did when 70 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: I just said, will Warwick to score and my multi 71 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: to come in. But it's just no one. No one 72 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: had anything. If it was another one of those scrand 73 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: finals where you've got the Panthers and then in a 74 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: team a sort of middling like if the Sharks or 75 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: someone had got through, Yeah, that's when you'd be getting 76 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: a lot of any times. But against Melbourne, it's not happening. No. 77 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: And like I said before, we all predicted it was 78 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: going to be stingy on defense, and I felt like 79 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 1: both teams were quite tense when they were Yeah, particularly 80 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: the Panthers I thought were I was talking about it 81 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: at nauseum on the commentary last night, but I was 82 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: like their fifth tackle options were just chaotic. Yeah, there 83 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: was a phase, especially in the first half, where they 84 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: kept sort of they pass it out wide and then 85 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Luay or someone would pass it back infield against the 86 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: grand play and then all of a sudden, Mitch Kenny's 87 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: got the ball or Isaiah Yo. It's just like, oh shit, okay, Yeah, 88 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: that was quite unpredictable. James Fisher Harris looked out to 89 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: the wing and his eyes lit up, and I think 90 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: you've had in a Panther's jersey was like no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 91 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: He thought about it. Isaiah Yo had to think about 92 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: it as well. Yeah, there were a lot of Fords 93 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: getting the ball and having it, like even for the 94 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: stormlic cart with that weird little chip kick that went out. Yeah, 95 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: so a lot of guys were definitely was not the 96 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: plans that Ivan Clear and Bellamy had put in place? 97 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: Or are they both so good that they shut down 98 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: what each other was trying to do? 99 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: So okay, this is how good they are as coaches. 100 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: They're now getting benefit of the doubtful like bad things 101 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: that happened. Yeah, well no, I'm saying like defensively, both 102 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: teams were so excellent defensively. Maybe okay, maybe why the 103 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: Panthers looked so frantic on the fifth tackle was because 104 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: Melbourne Storm coming. He knew exactly what they were trying 105 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: to do. He's like, let's just shut it down. I've 106 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: got to say I didn't. I didn't actually see who 107 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: ended up giving the Clive Churchill was it Liam Martin? 108 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: Was Liam Martin? Well scored a try stole the ball 109 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: clean off. Xavier coach could have scored himself again, Yeah, 110 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: freaked out and pasted it, but it ended up being 111 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: a Paul Alamodi try in the corner, even though he 112 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: was very unhealthy and his shoulder was knaked shit. Nathan 113 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: Clear was just any everything his running game, he was. 114 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: He's such a good player. 115 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: There is a chance that we're watching one of the 116 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: greatest players of all time. There's a chance we're watching 117 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: the greatest rugby league player of all time. That's it's 118 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 2: all said and done. It's going to be very hard 119 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: to argue against. And I would actually say that now 120 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 2: that they've hit this four. 121 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: Peat, and in fact, I probably would have said this 122 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: last year. I reckon and I'm not a great historian 123 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: of the game, but I'm willing to go on wax 124 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and say this the other greatest rugby league team of 125 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: all time, this Penwrith Panthers dynasty. So what are the teams? Then? 126 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: This is where we need Ben Hurley and Die Henwood. 127 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: What are the teams that would you know, well, the 128 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: one that sticks out. 129 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: So this is the third team in history to win 130 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: four straight premierships, and the first since Saint George, who 131 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: won eleven in a row from nineteen fifty six to 132 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty six. 133 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and say that's the greatest NL. Yeah, 134 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: but eleven man, would you say, who do you think 135 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: is the greatest basketball player of all time? Blake Griffin? Okay, 136 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: and so he's won how many titles? No? Now, because 137 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: he was my favorite player for a long time, I'd 138 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: say the best basketball player of all time is probably 139 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: Lebron James. Yeah, and so he's won four or five? Yeah, four, 140 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: He's been there and thereabouts a lot. 141 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: If you want to say Michael Jordan's the best for 142 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 2: bust same player of all time, he won six, Yeah, 143 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: that's right. Bill Russell won eleven championships, but nobody considers 144 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: him to be the greatest of all time. 145 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: And when you think about it, too, basketball's five players 146 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: on the team, so he's a pretty light pevotal role. 147 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: He's not one of thirteen. He's twenty percent of the thing. 148 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: So all I'm saying is eleven in a row back 149 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty. I just don't think it really. No 150 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: one can remember that team done lately. Yeah, that's that's 151 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: all right, But also it just I don't know, there's 152 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: just something about this team. If you want to say 153 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: that that st George side that won eleven in a 154 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: row is the greatest NFL team or Rugby league team 155 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: of all time. Then you've also got to say that 156 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: Bill Russell is the greatest basketball player of all time. 157 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: Well, the difference is eleven in a row that Bill 158 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Russell did the exact same thing. No, no, no, compared to 159 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: four in a row, That is a huge gap. That's 160 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: not Lebron with his four or whatever. It is compared 161 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: to Michael Jordan's six. No, but it's Lebron compared to 162 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: Bill Russell. It's literally the same number. Okay, I'm gonna 163 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: have to do some more research into this, Saint George. 164 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: I want to know how many people will play, how 165 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: many teams there were, Zach Lomax aren't still firing? Was 166 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: there a party at Paul Vaughan's, That's right. I wanted 167 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: to know all this sort of stuff. Was there a 168 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: was Corey Norman hiding underneath the bed? These are the 169 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: things we need to know about that team from the 170 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: fifties through to the If anyone listening that was sort 171 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: of old enough to have witnessed that, so you know, 172 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: maybe eighteen onwards, Yeah, it's listening right now, So you 173 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: probably what almost ninety at least, ye send us a 174 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: talk back on the iHeartRadio ninety years old, get your 175 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: nurse to fire one through for you, Yeah, and joining 176 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the discussion. Yeah, I don't know. I just think it's 177 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: it's definitely a discussion now. And I know it's always. 178 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: Weird when we when we're watching them play, Like the 179 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: same thing's happening with Lebron where it's like, how can 180 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: you say that he's the best? It's hard to say 181 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: when you're watching him. I you know, like I said, 182 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: I was a kid when Joey John's was doing his 183 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: thing but for all his purposes, a lot of people 184 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: saying he was one of the greatest of all time. 185 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: It is hard to And also that's sixty years ago 186 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: almost that they won their last one. That is just 187 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: such half a century. Yeah, it's a different game, man, 188 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: it is. 189 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: It's like when you go back and watch Pine Tree 190 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: Meads videos, Broddertallic would snap Pine Tree Meads and half. 191 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you put the Panthers out against that 192 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: original team, they would abou destroy them one hundred percent. 193 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: But I just think it's it's tough. 194 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: It's the same thing that's happening not to use another 195 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: basketball analogy, but when the Golden State Warriors were dusting 196 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: everyone and people were starting to get a little bit 197 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: bored of it. Now we look back on it and 198 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: we're like, that was greatness and we got to witness it. 199 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: I think that's how we look back on this Penrith 200 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: Panthers team. 201 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: That's how you know it was greatness because it was 202 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: just suffocating the life out of everyone with how great 203 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: it was. 204 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: And casual fans were like, oh god, these guys again. Yeah, 205 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: my missus one of the storm to win just because 206 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: she's sick of the Panthers. 207 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: That's good. That's how good they've been. Yeah, and she's 208 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: not exactly like a you know, an into it legey. Yeah, 209 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: she just is sick of hearing about the Panthers being good. 210 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: That's right. Ah. What do you think the Panthers moving forward? Obviously, Leuile, 211 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: there's quite a lot of players leaving sort of. James 212 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: Fisher Harris is leaving as well. 213 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: Would it surprise you to know that the Panthers four 214 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: dollars twenty five favorites to win it again next year? 215 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't, because every single person they bring through 216 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who is leaving. You know, Stephen Crichton left, 217 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: Matt burdenle It just does not matter. Viliami Keku left 218 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: and that left side was the most dominant side in 219 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: the NRL last season and now it's not. It doesn't matter. 220 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: They still won't up cottas Ou left. So like if 221 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: you put those are some top level players, it has 222 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: not made a difference. They've still got Cleary, They've still 223 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: got Yo. I think it's a massive part of this 224 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: and probably one of the underrated members of that team. 225 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: Well they lost Lynn you as well, yes, so, but 226 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: now they've got all these other follows coming off the 227 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: bench that have just slotted into these roles. You've got 228 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: Schneider in the haves, who seems pretty sound. Ye looks 229 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: like he rode for Germany at the Olympics. I saw 230 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: him on the sideline For some reason, I just had 231 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: never seen what night to look like. I don't know why. 232 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: Up close did he wear headgear? Yeah, and so seeing 233 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 1: this like Nazi Hitler youth guy on the sideline, the Schnyder. Yeah. 234 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: But I to be honest, five in a row, I 235 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: think it will happen. 236 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: I mean, James Fisher, Harris, you know he's a big loss, Louis. 237 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: I wonder about whether the team may get better for 238 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: not having I. 239 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Think we like to think that because he's a prick. Yeah, 240 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: I bet, I bet it'll be worse without him. 241 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: I couldn't watch all of the celebrations that he was doing. 242 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: There was a photo that was doing the rounds and 243 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: it's him leaning up against the goalposts with all his 244 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: like his medal around his neck and blah blah blah, 245 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: and the caption was, what do you think is going 246 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: through his head right now? I was like, I guarantee 247 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 2: what's going through his head right now? Is I bet 248 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: I look sick. 249 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: Sitting every celebration, he had to just be right there, 250 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: front and center in the middle of it, as if 251 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: it was his celebration and he was sort of ring 252 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: leading it for everyone else his birthday party and you're 253 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: all just invited. That's exactly what it was like. Well, 254 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: at least he's not going to have that at the 255 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: Tigers unless, and this is going to be really annoying, 256 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: he really spearheads a turnaround and is like an all 257 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: time great After that, all's forgiven at that point. But 258 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: then we would have to just be like, Okay, he's 259 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: a deck but he's pretty damn good. Yeah, I don't 260 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. 261 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: I'm not there now, despite the fact that he's just one. 262 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: For the last four years, if he's walked onto a 263 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: rugby league pitch to play in a competition, he's won it. 264 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: Unless it's in New South Wales. Is probably the only hookut. Yeah, 265 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: and you know, but everything else good as goal. I 266 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: think did he play for some more as well? Eighty 267 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: thou attendance as well? 268 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: And that's the stadium of course, stadium there that they've 269 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: been having a lot of issues with this year where 270 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: they've been. They've booked a lot of games there, but 271 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: no one, no one's turning up. 272 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just a I forget what the term 273 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: is when it's just like it sucks the life out 274 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: so massive. I know, it's one of those stadiums that 275 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: it's no I feel like it's no one's true home ground. 276 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: No one feels an affinity to it. So it's like, 277 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. But but when it is full, it 278 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: looks ridiculous. I mean it looks like a toilet bowl. Yeah, 279 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: it's Hessen. 280 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: From from the top angle there. It looks like it, 281 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: but eighty thousand people in the air. Well, it's like 282 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: playing at Wimbley or something. Right, It's just it's the 283 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: big dog of Australian stadiums. You haven't you're the right 284 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: for these two teams to be there. It's just packed out. 285 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: This fireworks the Kidler Roy is playing. Yeah, there's plenty 286 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: of as we're saying on the commentary last night, now 287 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: that's what I call white people music. Volume one was 288 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: in full blast, which was great. Oh my god. So 289 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: they had Sweet Caroline it was the first one. Yeah, 290 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: they had. The next one was take Me Home Country, right, 291 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: Home Country Roads. The Gambler came on after me saying 292 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if the Gambler will be on there. Sure enough, 293 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: the very next one, the Gambler. It was out of control. Yeah, 294 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: there are hits. It's a universal thing. There are hits 295 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: that people just fucking love. Oh. Absolutely, we're at Oktoberfish. 296 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: That's exactly all of the songs they played in the 297 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: English speaking tents. Just play that shit. Oh man, it's 298 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: like they were just dancing Queen One, dancing Queen away 299 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: from just you know, playing the full album back to back. Yeah, 300 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: just call of an atmosphere that looks so great, bringing 301 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: the place to its knees. Yeah. 302 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: Another thing I thought funny that was funny on social 303 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: media this morning was almost every outlet posted a picture 304 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: of the kid l Roy and said, how do we 305 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: rate that performance? 306 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: What do we think of that performance? I felt like 307 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: they were trying to bait. Yeah. Absolutely, they were introversial opinion. 308 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and all of the top comments are always were 309 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: always like great, love him, he's Aussie, he's a league fan, 310 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: a brilliant because I think for the longest time, the 311 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: NRL has been stuck in this like eighties promo thing. 312 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 2: They play old rock bands and they you know, and 313 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: and that kind of music. They promote it like it's Bathurst. 314 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: It's like this year, do we go Cold Chizzel again 315 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 2: or wolf Mother? 316 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. 317 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: But it's like what percentage of the league now is 318 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: of Polynesian descent. 319 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: They don't. They're not listening to the Cold Chizelna Unfortunately, 320 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: they're missing out. Yeah. 321 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: And because and because the you know, it's growing, so 322 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 2: the audience is getting younger and younger. They don't associate 323 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: the league with old rock bands anymore. 324 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: No, And so what they did. There was but the kid. 325 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: And to be honest, the kid LaRoy is almost I 326 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: don't I'm not across as too young for me as well. 327 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all of that. We're fitting into the older 328 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: fellers category now. And so you had the kid l 329 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: Royce and all the sons and the daughters of league 330 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: fans were entertained and then boom, Sweet Caroline comes on 331 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: for us old bases. You know, everyone's happy, So just 332 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: get like a nice common ground there. Yeah. 333 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: And I think the other thing about the pregame entertainment 334 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: is it always looks shit. When you're playing on a 335 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: rugby league field, which is enormous. You can't see the 336 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: guys down there on the track. It always looks shit, 337 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: it does. It don't really matter who it is. Man 338 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: Embone's six sixty did the Aedton Park No the Grand Final? 339 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god? And they got shit on. I hated 340 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: it works because it's supposed to be this big hype up. 341 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: For the game. They're like, don't forget your roots. It's like, 342 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: the fuck are these guys. 343 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: The game wasn't without its controversy, though, I think one 344 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: of the biggest ones was I mean, I mean, it's 345 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: the biggest cont controversy from the game, the Jack hewth 346 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: try no try in the fiftieth minute when we watched 347 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: it live and they showed that first replay on the TV, 348 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: you could see the ball touch the ground. 349 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: But have you seen the other replay angles that round? 350 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: I have, Yeah, so I don't think that cancels out 351 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: the first one though. I think the mistake they made 352 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: was obviously in the bunker they've got because I've been 353 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: in control rooms before. The one at Sky there's fifteen 354 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: camera angles, yeah, and they've only allocated three and a 355 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: shot of the referee to be the ones on screen, 356 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: so they're looking at more than just the ones we're 357 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: looking at. But in order to avoid controversy, controversy, controversy, 358 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: they need to flash that one up, you know. They 359 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: need to put that one up first and get everyone 360 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: on the same page. And they'd be like, it's no try, Yeah, 361 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: that's right. And the other thing is if you're going 362 00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: to have a bunker then and we stopped the game, 363 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: then let's go through the whole process. I don't think 364 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: anyone's too worried. If it takes like three minutes. 365 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: They've split it right up. Having that I know, and 366 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: that's what it felt like it was last night. It 367 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: was like they showed us that one on TV. They 368 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: watched however many others they did, and then they were like, no, no, 369 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: it's not a try. I do feel like the NRL 370 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: has done a great job today of plastering that video 371 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: that we've seen everywhere, because I've heard that they took 372 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: all the media into a room after the game and 373 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: showed them that replay. 374 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: Great. 375 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, but I feel like it's a bit of propaganda. 376 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: But I wonder if we can't afford to have this 377 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 2: be the storyline. So what we need to do is 378 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: Floody runs social media channels with this other angle that 379 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: looks like there's a hand underneath the ball. 380 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: Well, it didn't look like it there was a hand 381 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: underneath the ball, So then what was that other one 382 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: where you could clearly see it hitting the checker of 383 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: the lens refraction, So that one's refraction, but the arm 384 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: under the ball don't. I don't know. All I know 385 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: is that Jack Howith almost lost them that game by 386 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: not scoring the try. He went in in a real 387 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: non try score of fashion. He's pretty young and inexperienced fella. Yeah, 388 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: and like just get the ball on the ground. He 389 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: did it weird, it was like and it was just 390 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: the wrong way to score a try. And if he 391 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: had scored that, Melbourne would have been slightly hid. They 392 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: would have drawn a level yeah, yeah, and then had 393 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: a kick. Well that's the thing, and then you know, 394 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 1: the Panthers second try through Liam Martin was a total 395 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: like just freak him stealing the ball of Xavier Coats 396 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: like that is something that's just I just feel like 397 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: it would have been a completely different result. Yes, if 398 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: he had just scored the try, like it was not 399 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: a hard one to score, yeah, and he went incorrectly. 400 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, in my heart of hearts, believe he 401 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 2: scored that. I know that there's that other angle going 402 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: around as well, but I just can't I can't get 403 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: that first angle out that we saw on the game. 404 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: I can't get that out of my head. But the 405 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: first angle, though, it wasn't conclusive. I was looking at 406 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: it going like far, that looks like it was a try, 407 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: but I'm not like, oh, that definitely was a try, yeah, 408 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: whereas the angle going around was oh no, that clearly 409 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: was held up. 410 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, But there was all so like multiple points where 411 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 2: he was held up, you know what I mean, Like 412 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 2: he initially got it down then was held up again. Look, 413 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 2: it's all very confusing. I don't think that's why they 414 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 2: lost the game. 415 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: But I did enjoy watching another team get dutted by 416 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: the bunker, and it was Melbourne. It's usually the other 417 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: way around, Yeah, so I don't really care. Suck on that. Yeah. 418 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 2: The other one that while we're talking about replays, the 419 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: Pappenhausen kick out on the full. 420 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: Oh yes, with the Sirrenson catching it. 421 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 2: So Sorenson Pappy sliced this kick off the team, There's 422 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 2: no two ways about it. And it was curving towards 423 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: the sideline and Sorenson did the old foot and touch 424 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: catch thing. When you watch the replay very slowly his. 425 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: Foot was off the ground, yes, and he caught it 426 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: right foot was touching in play and then his left 427 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: foot went out, which is him taking it out. It was. 428 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: It was so very quick. Yeah. 429 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 2: But again, if we're going to have the bunker, you 430 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: might as well sit there and go through it and 431 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: go letter of the law. Now, as we always talk 432 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 2: about on this podcast, the NRL adjudicated on Vibe and 433 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 2: the vibe was Pappy's kicked that out on the full. 434 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: One hundred percent and Sorenson he's a backgroun. I felt 435 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: that there's a bit of leeway for that as well. 436 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: The forward has caught it and pulled off this great move. 437 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: I just think if that was the NFL, that would 438 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: have been called that he take he had taken it. 439 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: In the NFL, that's so many more stoppages and fucking around, 440 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: whereas in the NL they wanted to keep it moving. 441 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: I wonder, can you challenge that because they probably if 442 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: they had challenged it, they probably would have been successful. 443 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: But who's going to challenge that after an absolute shocking kick. Yeah, 444 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: so maybe they could have actually tended around, But well 445 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: that's what the challenge is for, right, Yeah, I know. 446 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: It's still there was a challenge. We saw another challenge 447 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: in the first twenty minutes. I think it was an 448 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: Alamodi maybe he had challenged right. 449 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 450 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: It was like a kick catch knock on sort of situation, 451 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 2: and they got away with it because it was inconclusive, 452 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: so they retained their challenge. But I have been saying, oh, 453 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: year and obviously great ones and Maya deciding these things. 454 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: I would not burn a challenge in the first sixty 455 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 2: minutes of any NRL game, Absolutely not. 456 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: You need that. 457 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 2: When it comes down to it, you're going to need 458 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: that challenge. I just would have a blanket roll and 459 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: be like, guys, I'm sorry as the coach. Look, you 460 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: might You're probably right. You might be right. We'll check 461 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: it on Monday, we'll check the footage. You probably would 462 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: have been right. We're not fucking burning it. 463 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: So I guess Ivan Cleary has full trust in Yo 464 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: is the captain, right, Yeah, full trust in him. But 465 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: I was really surprised that the Panthers did that because 466 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: that's not something the Panthers will do. That's something the 467 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: Warriors will do. And I don't know if you can 468 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago though, talking about medically 469 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: retiring Isao for a string of concussions. You think it's 470 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: going back to bite him. Now, well, I mean he 471 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: got away with that one. But yeah, just as a rule, 472 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: I would love, you know, for the Warriors, the team 473 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: that I support that I love watching, I fucking hate 474 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: seeing even when it's clear as day. Yeah, you know, 475 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: just cop it. 476 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 2: In that first particularly in the first half. Yeah, and 477 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: I would say, right, up until that fourth quarter. Don't 478 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 2: bother burning it because you just don't know what you're 479 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: going to need to. 480 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 481 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: The other thing is the challenge has way more value 482 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: at the end of the game because how many times 483 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 2: have we seen a team use their challenge just to 484 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 2: use it to have a. 485 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: Rest as well, have a breather when you hold on 486 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: defense or something. Panthers actually did it just last night. 487 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: And at the end of that game. 488 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: The Panthers turned away five consecutive That was crazy sets 489 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: from the Melbourne Storm. And I think, yeah, and I 490 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: think if they're going to, you know, take any pride, 491 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: well not take any pride, but the thing they should 492 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: take the most pride in from this game is that. 493 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: The way they held them out because there were a 494 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: few moments in the game where Melbourne started to throw 495 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: the ball around a bit and you know, found space 496 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: through the middle. Harry Grant, to be honest, he had 497 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: a great game, but he wasn't sort of breaking things 498 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: open through the middle as much as they needed him 499 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: too in order to you know, ask questions. But it 500 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: was that five straight Melbourne set where they just couldn't 501 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: get anything happening. I think quite a few of those 502 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: sets were finishing with sort of the ball and a 503 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: back rower's hands or something, so there was a couple 504 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: of those in there, but still the Panthers were on 505 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: their own line, pinned down for a good five minutes 506 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: or something, and it just they just waited it out, 507 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: waited it out the way they've been doing for the 508 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: past four years, and then just wait for the other 509 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: team to make a mistake, boom their ball, go down 510 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: the other end of the field and usually score a try. Yeah, 511 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: they actually scored twice that way. That was just very 512 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: Panthers and it's super demoralizing too, because like Melbourne came 513 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: out firing, man. Yeah, in the opening fifteen I was like, shit, 514 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: Melbourn's gonna win this. The Panthers were like, you know, 515 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: sort of just making the tackles and blah blah blahlah blah. 516 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: But they were making them. And then after a while 517 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: Melbourn started to run out of gas and the Panthers, 518 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: just after weathering twenty minutes of punishment, had scored a 519 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: try within five minutes of their own punishment, which is demoralizing, 520 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: hugely demoralizing. 521 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: So and then that boyed them to take on those 522 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: five repeat sets. I thought Hughes looked injured. 523 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: He wasn't right. Well, I like to think he wasn't 524 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: right either that or as the Pantsman was calling, he 525 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: massively choked or was an isaac I can't remember. Uh oh, yeah, 526 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it was a choke. 527 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 2: You could see him limping around. He we mentioned in 528 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: commentary last night, we really hadn't seen it name. No, 529 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 2: for most of the game, it was just kicking and yeah, 530 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: Munster seemed to have It was almost like Hughes was 531 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: a bit injured, and so Monster was like, shit, I've 532 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 2: been injured in a bit rough all season, but I'm 533 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: going to have to get the ball and try to 534 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 2: be the one to spark things. Because he was trying 535 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 2: and he was failing, Like he dropped the ball cold 536 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 2: and made quite a few mistakes. Yeah, he was trying 537 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: really hard to. 538 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: Be that guy. Yeah, one hundred percents. Hughes was sitting 539 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: in the pocket, yeah, and just went missing for a 540 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: large part of that game. I think we will find 541 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: out that he's quite injured. By the time you listen 542 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: to this podcast, you'll probably know. Worrying thing about that 543 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: is now we go into the international window, the kiwis 544 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: he's our half back. Even before the Stacy Jones last 545 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: week had rung Seawan Johnson and said, look, hopefully it 546 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: doesn't happen, but if Hughes gets injured, would you be free? 547 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: And he said I'll get back to you, and then 548 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: he got back to him and said no, and so well, 549 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: I don't think this close to your retirement, like he's 550 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: been retired for just over a month. Yeah, you know 551 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you come to talk to me 552 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: after a month of retiring, I'm going to tell you, 553 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, piss off, basic mate, Tell you come talk 554 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: to me the day after I've done a podcast. It 555 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: asked me to do another podcast. Well fuck that. But 556 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: apparently the Achilles was still was still playing. Well that's 557 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: the reason why he's called it quartz. But who's our 558 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: halfback then for the Killies? Nikoima? Yeah is it? I 559 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: don't know, Kieren Forn get another run? I don't know. 560 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,959 Speaker 1: I reckon to Mighty Martin's probably to Mighty Martin, ye 561 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: man standing and then we'll find out he played for 562 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: Queensland at some point. And now we can't well let's 563 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: not let's not react too quickly to Jerome Hughes having 564 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: an off game because he might have just had a niggle. 565 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: So still got a few weeks, so hopefully we don't 566 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: have to worry about that Munster. Did he bite him 567 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: or not? Yeah, he definitely bet him. Yeah, we talked 568 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: about it last night. 569 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: It looked like when you're biting into a piece of chicken, 570 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 2: a piece of KFC, and then you pull it. 571 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: There's a little bit of tension. 572 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 2: There before the things, and that's exactly what happened there, 573 00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: that's right. 574 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: And to be fear, Alamotti's forearm was right pushing and 575 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: squeezing right up against his mouth, so he almost forced 576 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: his arm into the air, and then Munster just bit 577 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: down and then as Alamotti pulled it away, it obviously 578 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: hurt Monster's teeth away because he's, oh, what the hell, 579 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: essentially giving away the fact that yes, he was biting him. Yeah, 580 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: so he's on report. Should you be allowed to bite 581 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: a man's arm if he puts it in your mouth? Well, 582 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: I think it's you say the NRL's left on vibe. 583 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: I think the vibe of that was it's sort of 584 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: a mutual situation, you know. It wasn't him going out 585 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: of his way to bite someone was in his mouth. Yeah. Well, 586 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: I was talking about this with Lane this morning on 587 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: the Gender Podcast and I was like, well, so if 588 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: your if your face is in front of my fist 589 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: and then allowed to punch you, is how that works? 590 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: And he was like, well, yeah, if you're just. 591 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: Standing there throwing punches in midfield and someone walks into 592 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: the way of one of those punches. 593 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: That's right, it is. They knew it was that. Yees. 594 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: So I think he'll get off it. I think he has. 595 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: I think I saw this morning. They've already cleared it. 596 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: The NRL don't want that being a storyline. Yeah. I 597 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: was praying that he'd get like a four game suspension 598 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: and we'd play the Melbourne Storm in the first It's 599 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: not how it works, man. We'll get him on week 600 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: five if that's the case. 601 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: Twenty six dollars for the Warriors to win next year, 602 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 2: by the way, we're about middle of the field, good odds. Yeah, 603 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 2: I mean, if you think we're gonna if you think 604 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: next year is our. 605 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: Year, do we have twenty six bucks? Do we have 606 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: a tob hunch bonus bet or anything we just chucked 607 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: out right now? We don't. They've gotten onto us that 608 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 1: we've got no more NRL to punch. Ah bugger, Well 609 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: are you thinking little futures bit just a little like 610 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: do you remember this time last year we put that 611 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: hundred bucks on man? That was genius? Yeah. I mean 612 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: I have not a lot of faith as of yet 613 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: that that's going to come in. I need the stink 614 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: of this season to settle. Yeah, and I need to 615 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: see some pre season and some big signings and stuff 616 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: to get me fizzed up again. Yeah, one hundred percent, 617 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: just to get us onto that twenty six dollars. The 618 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: Storm actually tied with Panthers for the shortest odds next 619 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: year Ford dollers twenty five. Do you subscribe to the 620 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: theory that after you lose a Grand Final to the 621 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: penwith Panthers, your team goes to shit? I traditionally do. 622 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: But I think it was more that the teams like 623 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Broncos for example, who Yeah, they went to shit eels, Yeah, 624 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: Rabbit O's rabbit Os. I think that was more a 625 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: factor of those teams just happened to get everything right 626 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: so that they could get to the final just with 627 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: everything they had, and then it didn't work, and then 628 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: it all crumbled away. I don't think that's the Melbourne Storm. 629 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: The melbourn Storm have been guns for so long. Yeah, 630 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: that's right, So I don't think it will be about 631 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: those other teams. Yes, absolutely, because who are the Melbourne 632 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: Storm losing this year? No one, really, no one. And 633 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: that it was after that last Grand Final they won 634 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: against the Panthers, that's right, that's when they lost everyone. 635 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: They lost the Broniz brothers, that's right. So they had 636 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: to rebuilding and yeah, completely redesigned things. And also they've 637 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: had a horror run with injuries to their key players 638 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: like Papenalzen and stuff. So I think Melbourne will probably 639 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: be in the conversation next season. They'll probably be second 640 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: on the table by the end of the season or something. 641 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: You know, overall scores on the game, how did you 642 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: find that game was to watch as far as the 643 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: Grand Final goes, But for me, we were treated last year. 644 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: Last year's Grand Final was arguably. 645 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 2: Yes, it was great, one of the greatest of all time, 646 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: one of I'd probably put it second in my living 647 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 2: memory behind the Jonathan Thurston of course. 648 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: Yeah one twenty fifteen is it? Yeah, that was the 649 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: Ben Hunt drop ball gold point. It was a lot. Yeah, 650 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: there was a lot going and rewatched that one. There's 651 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: a lot going on in that game. 652 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the Benji Marshallow five flick Parcel 653 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: always absolutely living our memories and obviously any Grand Final 654 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: that we played in, although we got humped by the Eels, 655 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: and yeah, I think this one, if I had to 656 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: give it a rating out of ten, probably like a 657 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: six or five. 658 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, like two teams I don't like. Yeah, playing some 659 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: pretty shaky ball to begin with, and then it was 660 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: low scoring. Yeah, lou I won four in a row. 661 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: I think it's a five. Yeah, Yeah, I think it's 662 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: about a five for me as well. It wasn't enough drama, nah, 663 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like a good State of Origin Game 664 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: three matchup where it's all on and it's high intensity 665 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: and stuff. It's just it wasn't this year. Yeah, And 666 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: to be fair, the whole final series has been pretty average. Yeah, 667 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: after what's been a great season. Yeah, it's almost like 668 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: usually the season most pretty predictable and then the final 669 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: series is where the interesting stuff happens. That was not 670 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: the case this yet. It was the other way around. No, 671 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: it was a very interesting regular season, although very disappointing 672 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: for the Warriors and then yeah, disappointing of postseason. Yeah, 673 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give it five out of ten. What 674 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: about you? Yeah, I'm exactly the same. 675 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 2: This is no different to me than the rabbit oz 676 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 2: one than the Eels one. 677 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Obviously last year was tremendous. So yeah, I was 678 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: about a five as far as Green Final, like if 679 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: that was a regular season game, you know, just a 680 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: good match. Yeah, there's a great, great game of rugby league. 681 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree with that. 682 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: I thoroughly enjoyed doing the commentary.
