But they book us 49 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 5: in there as fast as they can. However, if there's 50 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 5: someone's booked in, then we obviously have to wait a 51 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 5: few days, but they get us in there quite fast 52 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 5: and it's in and out pretty much, so we're pretty 53 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 5: lucky we get that that front or service in and 54 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 5: out straight away, and it's it's pretty it's pretty seamless 55 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 5: way we get it done. 56 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 4: So it's pretty cool. 57 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: And yeah, because I always get interested when the commentator 58 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: is halfway through a game, they go sport, We've spoken 59 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: to someone that's a it's a pateler. Yeah, yeah, there, 60 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: I'm going, how do they know you know, you're just 61 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 3: looking at you hobbling off? 62 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, nah, for sure. 63 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 5: I think on the sidelines, the physios do some testing 64 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 5: and stuff straight away, so it's pretty much just their 65 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 5: kind of take on. Okay, they test and it's a 66 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 5: it's a low grade growing train or if they're testing 67 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 5: the knee, they and and they're pretty good to be honest, like, 68 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 5: they know straight away obviously the expertise, so they're good 69 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 5: at what they do. 70 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: And with the hi as, how does that work? Do 71 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: you do you have a different set of questions to everyone. 72 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, as questions. I feel like, yeah, it's questions. But 73 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: then sometimes however, then I all can just say, hang on, 74 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: it's like it's a CAT one straight away, which is yeah, 75 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: which is unusual sometimes because the boys might feel okay 76 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: and they get up, but then they say, no cat one. 77 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 4: You can't even do the testing. 78 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: And that's just what they've taken off the vision of. 79 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. 80 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: I think it looks like if Herb Dean from the 81 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: UFC would to stop the fight, then that's probably a 82 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: CAT one. I think the other one is when the 83 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: hands go and then they start throwing up the gang signs, 84 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: then that's sort of a qestions that they ask you that. 85 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 4: So they asked you to read the months backwards. 86 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: I struggle with it. 87 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 5: That's pretty like that's the easy one for me. The 88 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 5: hard one for me is they give you the numbers 89 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 5: as well. So but like they give you numbers, so 90 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 5: they'll go up to like three numbers, so one, two, three, 91 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 5: Then then you got to repeat that backwards. But they 92 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 5: go all the way up to like six numbers, so 93 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 5: it might be like four, five, six, seven, eight nine, 94 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 5: and then you got to repeat it backwards and they 95 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 5: do that about five six times. 96 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: That's the hardest one. I find hard And then I. 97 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 3: Can do that without a hidden it's so do they 98 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: make it easy maybe for some of the team that 99 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: was struggling a bit on the best of days. 100 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 5: No, it's all the same. Yeah, so's it's tough. And 101 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 5: then what else they do? You get ten words to 102 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 5: remember as well when you have to so like they 103 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 5: say ten words, you got to remember those words. And 104 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 5: then they actually like after all the testing actually for 105 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 5: those ten words again. 106 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 3: I could again that this could be a good fishing scam. Okay, 107 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: so if you can you give me your credit card 108 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: and the three c CV number. 109 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, literally the number your birthday. So they asked the 110 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: same questions for a prop that they'd ask for like 111 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: a half back. 112 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh that's brutal. That is that is tough. 113 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: Actually, it's just been announced that you guys are heading 114 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: off the Vegas for the opening round next year.

And then when 173 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 5: you're running out to a packed out mount Smart, it's 174 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 5: kind of daunting for our position, like coming here first 175 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 5: of wall to travel in New Zealand, and then to 176 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 5: play against us with the packed out stadium. 177 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: It's a hard job to get done. And I've been 178 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 4: on the back end of it as well. 179 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 5: Before I came to the Worries, so I've experienced it 180 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 5: on both fans, and I much preferred to be on 181 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 5: this end. 182 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 183 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 3: How is it with the pressure though, Like, because obviously 184 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: the year is not panning out exactly how you would 185 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: have thought at the beginning, it must you must feel 186 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: an odd pressure though, like going the fans are all here, 187 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: We've got to go hard out But then sometimes the 188 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: harder you try, the worst city ends up going for it. 189 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 5: No, for sure, I think for us it's more frustrating. 190 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 5: I think it's more than in pressure that we expect 191 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 5: so much from ourselves and we work so hard and 192 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 5: we expect the best from ourselves, especially what we did 193 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 5: last year. And you know that, and we know what 194 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 5: we're capable of when we put our best team out 195 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 5: there and when we're playing our best. However, at times 196 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 5: this year just hasn't clicked, and it's it's frustrating for us, 197 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 5: you know. And like you said about the fans, they 198 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 5: just come out and they just turned up for us 199 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 5: week in, week out, and that gives us a bit 200 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 5: more drive. We don't feel the pressure more so for them, 201 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 5: but it's more the internal pressure because we know what 202 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 5: we're capable of as a team, as a club as well, 203 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 5: and it's been disappointing at times this year, to be honest. 204 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean for myself, I always say it. 205 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 5: I reckon we've got the best fan base in the 206 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 5: whole NRL and I seen that out at Magic Round 207 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 5: as well. They turned up, bro, and it was just 208 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 5: crazy the support we got. I think it was one 209 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 5: side of the grands of the of the stadium was 210 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: just going off and that was an awesome experience. 211 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: He talks about not looking too far ahead before. 212 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: Are you guys already starting to talk about the Tigers 213 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: game this weekend or you just focusing on what you 214 00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: guys are going to do? 215 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. 216 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: Are you know we are? 217 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 5: The boys came in today and then we did some 218 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 5: review from the game against other Raiders, had to look 219 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 5: at that and then went out and trained and today 220 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 5: was more so about us to fix what we did 221 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 5: on the weekend, and then I think when we're coming 222 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 5: on Wednesday, that'll be more so prep against Tigers and 223 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 5: and then get some get some some defensive movements down 224 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 5: pat as well against them, because you know, seeing their 225 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 5: game on the weekend, they can score some points, but 226 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 5: similar to us at the moment, they can make make 227 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 5: some errors at at times, stupid air as at time. 228 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 5: So I think it's going to be a game that 229 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 5: we want to win, but it's going to be a 230 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 5: tough one as well. 231 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: But we're it's looking like the way that Tigers are 232 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: shaping up, and then where we are with injury.

At 346 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: Lincoln Park fifty. 347 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: Gang? But I'm not do you get given like a 348 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: specific game plan just before you're going to go out 349 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 3: or is it you vibing the game and what needs 350 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 3: to happen. 351 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 6: My role is pretty simple. It's just run hard, tagle hard. 352 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 6: I feel like the bench has got to offer a 353 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 6: lot of energy. So when I come on on my 354 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 6: smaller body in the middle, there off a bit more 355 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 6: leg speed, and yeah, just go hard for as long 356 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 6: as I can and then when I'm to put my 357 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 6: hand up and bring Adam back on. Is it different 358 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 6: when you start, Yeah, one hundred percent. When you start, 359 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 6: you've got to sort of like pace yourself. You obviously 360 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 6: want to get a good start, but that first twenty minutes, 361 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 6: that grind, it's different. It's a different beast age. I'll 362 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 6: come on when everyone's after that twenty minutes, when everyone's left, 363 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 6: then I can come on and I look a bit 364 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 6: faster than everyone else. But yeah, that first twenty minutes 365 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 6: is pretty hard. 366 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: And your combination with Walker coming off the bench there, 367 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: do you like getting fired up with him coming out together? 368 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, we had a good thing going the board brods. Yeah, 369 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 6: but he's he's grown his air back, so that's gone 370 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 6: down the drain and he's starting he's taking over toy, 371 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 6: So yeah, no more board broads this thinkfall. 372 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 3: What's it like when you get into a rhythm of 373 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: playing then due to injuries in that thing shuffle round 374 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: and you're playing a different role, he's playing a different role. 375 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: Does it take a mental toll or is it just 376 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: switching places around? 377 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 6: I wouldn't say it takes a mental toll. Sometimes it does, 378 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 6: especially when your key players are out. It's a bit deflating. 379 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 6: But we're like a next man, not mentality. We have 380 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 6: full confidence with whoever comes in. But it does suck 381 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 6: when when of your goes down. But yeah, just everyone's 382 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 6: got a job to do, so try and get it. 383 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 3: But then it must be so awesome when you're down 384 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: on troops and I think back to like that Penrith game, 385 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: major ground. Then when the young boys like contained steps up. 386 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 6: And yeah, one hundred, when the young followers come come 387 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 6: through and shine, it's a good feeling. I'm so happy 388 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 6: for them. And the club's in a good spot, Like 389 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 6: we've got a lot of good young fellows coming through, 390 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 6: and I think in a couple of years, like you'll 391 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 6: start to see the fruits of all these young fellows. 392 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 3: What do you reckon? The biggest step up is for 393 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 3: those boys going from New South Wales Cup to playing 394 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 3: first grade is the game day preparation must be different 395 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: and it's just a whole other scale. 396 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, when they step up, like we try and not 397 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 6: make them feel like it's a big jump because we 398 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 6: want them to be confident and even though it is 399 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 6: a big jump with the intensity and you've got to 400 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 6: be on twenty four to seven otherwise there's too many 401 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 6: guys that are too smart these days that will if 402 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 6: you're not on, they'll they'll exploit you and pull your 403 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 6: pants down. So not like that, not like that, but yeah, 404 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 6: you've got to be on, and we just try and 405 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 6: make them feel confident, but obviously when they start becoming 406 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 6: a regular first grader, yeah, they're prep certainly changes and 407 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 6: they find out for themselves, like you know, they either 408 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 6: learn the hard way or or they don't. So yeah, there's. 409 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: Get a bit competitive at training when there's because like 410 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: there's so much talent on the roster at the moment 411 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: and dudes competing for you know, just one or two 412 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: jerseys here and there. 413 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: Does it get a bit competitive? 414 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 6: Sometimes everything is competitive every every training. When we do 415 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 6: our G two, which is like a big day, our 416 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 6: coupleoys replicate who are in vescing. So this week we've 417 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 6: got the Tigers, they will look at all the Tigers 418 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 6: shapes and run it against us. And those battles, man, 419 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 6: they're like full on, full on. And then even in 420 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 6: pre season when everyone's fighting, you don't know who's seminted 421 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 6: their spots apart from you know, the stuff was like 422 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 6: ads seaning all those guys. The battles are out there 423 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 6: are pretty solid, like sometimes bigger than the ones you 424 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 6: face on the weekend. So everyone's fighting for a spot. 425 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 6: But there's no we don't take a personal we know 426 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 6: it's a business and everyone's fighting for the same position. 427 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, gets a bit like that. At the a SEC. 428 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: I feel like people are often coming from my spot, 429 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: you know, and asking how the rehab was going. Is 430 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: probably not helped my cast week. In my defense, I 431 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: was blind drunk. We did the commentary on the weekend, 432 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: so I don't remember. 433 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 6: That sounds fun, It must be. 434 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 3: It must be awesome though, being like part of the club, 435 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 3: especially now when you're looking at it's not just New 436 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 3: South Wales Cup. We've actually got a whole guys coming 437 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: through from the right of the younger grades, all under 438 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 3: the Warriors banner, and they're really turning up and performing. 439 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, well keepie, can we be Robbo?

We played the Broncos and then we won 489 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 6: and then they got caught on the It was either 490 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 6: Saturday night or Sunday morning that they met then the 491 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 6: squad and so we didn't see them before they left. 492 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 6: I don't think Bunnie was going to go to the 493 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 6: camp unless he was in the team. So since he 494 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 6: was in the team, we knew that he was playing, 495 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 6: which was you know, Bunnie's been our best player all year. 496 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 6: He's been a terrific leader and I'm so happy for 497 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 6: him because he's been knocking on their door for one 498 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 6: now and I was happy that he especially over Capes too. 499 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 6: It would have been a hard week for Capes. Lost 500 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 6: on the Wednesday and then went down to the Raiders 501 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 6: just on the Sunday. 502 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, tough week. 503 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: Hey, just before we were talking to Marcello and we 504 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: were talking to him about what like if you. 505 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: Had to go to the Olympics, what sport do you 506 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: reckon you be good at? I reckon you'd be quite 507 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: good at rhythm. 508 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon you'd be good at the flips and 509 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: sort of stuff. I'm not flexible doing some bat cartwheels 510 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 3: on the beam, you know, like give me sort of 511 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 3: Simone Biles type. 512 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 6: What are you asking? Why would be good at? Or 513 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 6: what I want to play? 514 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 2: What would you want to do if you had to 515 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: go to the Olympics. What sport would you pack? 516 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 4: Box? 517 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, be a boxer. 518 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: But the weight divisions are funny in the Olympics. They're 519 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: like lighter, so you'd probably have to fight thirds that Yeah, 520 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: because David Nukan, now that he's pro, he's had to 521 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: go oh down and wait up the weight division. You 522 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: probably have to fight thirds who are like six foot three. 523 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, well I'm looking at the middleweight like as he 524 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 6: is my weight yeah, and he looks yeah, Oh I 525 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 6: might have to cut some weight on the sauna. 526 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: Yeah wait, bully brilliant.

Huge honor and privilege to have Luke 530 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: Metcalfe on the couch opposite us. Look obviously played on 531 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: the week in three tries. How did you find that experience? 532 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good. 533 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 7: Obviously I didn't get the win, but the three tries 534 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 7: obviously helps. 535 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, helps because you go. 536 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: I genuinely had questions written down for you in front 537 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: of me. Jesse sits down And how's rehab? You heard 538 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: it from all that? 539 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 7: Yes, yes I did heard it through the wall. But 540 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 7: I went to the question if you just asked me 541 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 7: that will forget it. 542 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 2: How was the rehab going? 543 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 7: Oh, yes, good question. Now it's it's going good. It's 544 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 7: been seventeen weeks now it's been it's gone. It's actually 545 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 7: gone pretty quick for me anyway. But yeah, it's obviously 546 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 7: frustrating to hurt itself four rounds into the season. You 547 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 7: do the whole preseason just waiting to play and then yeah, 548 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 7: but it's going good. I'm hopefully only a few more 549 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 7: weeks away. 550 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: Where I reckon, I'll freak out with the rehabbers getting 551 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 3: to the point we're almost better and then pushing it 552 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: too hard. 553 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's sort of it. You can be like that, 554 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 7: but you're taking care of so good, like by the 555 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 7: physios and stuff like that, so you trust them and 556 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 7: you know that like when you're that close, which I'm 557 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 7: probably in that stage right now that I'm so close. 558 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 7: I'm back training with the team, but i just can't 559 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 7: play just yet. So I'm at that stage now. But 560 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 7: you just you just got to trust the physios and 561 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 7: the doctors and all that that they've got the right 562 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 7: plan in place, and you just follow that and just 563 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 7: you know. 564 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 3: So do you do like no contact like train but yeah, yeah, 565 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 3: yeah yeah smash yeah. 566 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 6: No. 567 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 7: So today was my first day of just like shackles 568 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 7: off you just trained the whole do the whole session. 569 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 570 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 7: So the first couple of times it was like that, 571 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 7: it was like always doing, but today was my first 572 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 7: day of proper Nuh, that's all right. You can tackle, 573 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 7: you can get tackled. Everything's fine. 574 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, all fans have just loved having it 575 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 3: at the club. You enjoying being a warrior? 576 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's awesome. I've was.

I'm only 579 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 7: twenty five and other Yeah, it's been awesome, just even 580 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 7: away from football as well. It's been awesome to live 581 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 7: in a new country. I've got my fiance over here 582 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 7: and where loving going next one, going to wahikol and 583 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 7: going to Queens Sound. Just things like that. It's me 584 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 7: and everyone's so friendly to in New Zealand. So the 585 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 7: football has been good, but away from it couldn't be 586 00:24:59,440 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 7: better too. 587 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 2: Has Freddy Lass given you any tips on mon wave. 588 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 7: If there's one person not taking tips from it? No, 589 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 7: he actually doesn't. He was loving himself after that though, 590 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 7: he was yeah, yeah he needs to take some lessons 591 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 7: from the Broncos. That Xavier will listen was awesome. 592 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 3: He is mad. But you've got two ends of the spectrum. 593 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 3: Is Zabier Willison and we're very different people. 594 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, they've got similar games. Yeah, they're big, they're strong, 595 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 7: powerful runners of the ball. 596 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: Well, Freddy Well didn't they play in the middle of 597 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. 598 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: Powerful stuff you're heating over the Las Vegas. I was 599 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: talking to Marcelo before about who as you're getting off 600 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 1: the plane, who's the one player that the coaches are 601 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: going to pull the sidnes? 602 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 2: But just you keep a little on it this weekend. 603 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 2: It didn't say you you'll be relieved today? Yeah, yeah, 604 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: not me. 605 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 7: I'm good like that. 606 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 2: Or do you think he did say? 607 00:25:52,400 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 7: I think he would say, did you say Mitch Barnett? Yeah, yeah, 608 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 7: no missus the father and now two kids, two boys, 609 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 7: so he's all right. Yeah, I think rock o'berry because 610 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 7: he's I don't want to comment on his status, but yeah, 611 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 7: but yeah, he was young, he's got no responsibilities young. Yeah, 612 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 7: I feel like he could have a good time. 613 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be. 614 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 3: Quite hard because I imagine you'll have pretty big train tracks 615 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 3: because it's the beginning of a season. You want to 616 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 3: hit the ground running, so it'll be hard not to 617 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 3: get distracted, ain't. 618 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 7: Yeah Yeah, obviously, Yeah, it's going to be awesome, like 619 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 7: everyone's going to go, we want to have a look 620 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 7: around and do everything like that. But yeah, I feel 621 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 7: like at the end of the day we know that 622 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 7: we're there to play Round one's, but it's probably just 623 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 7: a lot more hype and a lot more It's almost 624 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 7: like you playing a finals game or something like that. 625 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 7: That's the only way I can sort of think about it. 626 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 7: But I think it's going to be good that we 627 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 7: think the teams this year went over about ten days earlier, 628 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 7: so they sort of got to do it and see 629 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 7: it all. So then by the time the game comes around, 630 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 7: you've sort of done most things. 631 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, is that what you guys done? We don't know yet. 632 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 7: I have no idea. Yeah, we haven't even really spoke 633 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 7: about it too much. I think they want to speak 634 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 7: about it just too yet. 635 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 3: I think Sam George said the view that one of 636 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: the keys is just to be based in Vegas the 637 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: whole time, so you're not in other teams. Did San 638 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 3: Diego for a bit desensitized? 639 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, straight away, get there, do whatever you want. 640 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: I think because we're going over all, the a SEC 641 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: is sending people over, We're having massive scraps internally to 642 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: see who gets to go. 643 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 3: Imagine you're nailing it with a question. 644 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: So I've just scratched myself in the last fifteen minutes 645 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: but I think the plan for us is to land 646 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: on the day the game is because we're horrific for 647 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: first night fever.

So it's and yeah, 694 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 7: it's literally the same years, not too like animated or 695 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 7: spraying too much, but he gets his message across in 696 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 7: a way. That makes sure you understand it and you've 697 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 7: heard it and like you're respected in that way. You know, 698 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 7: he doesn't need to shout at you and yell at 699 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 7: you for to get the point across. 700 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 3: He also seems like that is really good at bringing 701 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: people together, like getting a real sort of family vibe 702 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 3: amongst the team. 703 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I feel like as well him probably being 704 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 7: from Australia probably creates that too, because he probably because 705 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 7: I think he was assistant coach a few years ago, 706 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 7: so he probably knows what the club needs and what 707 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 7: players need because I don't think too not even half 708 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 7: the squad would probably be from Auckland, Like I'd say, 709 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 7: there's boys who are from down South or from Australia whatever, 710 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 7: So I think he understands to create that sort of 711 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 7: environment what it does for boys away from football too 712 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 7: and make their partners feel comfortable and their kids feel comfortable. 713 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: Is it almost worse that he doesn't come in and 714 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: give you a spray sometimes, like when you're expecting it 715 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: and then he's just like it more like the I'm 716 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: not angry, I'm just disappointed it could. 717 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 3: Be like that. 718 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 7: But yeah, No, I've had a couple of coaches in 719 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 7: the past. You love to give a spray. But yeah, 720 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 7: I like where he's version. He's not nice and calm 721 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 7: comes across good and like I said, he he says 722 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 7: in a way that you make sure you get the 723 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 7: point and it's like he tells you what it is 724 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 7: and you and you understand and you know what you've 725 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 7: got to do. 726 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: So I like it. 727 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 3: And I suppose a lot of times if something has 728 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 3: gone really wrong on the field, you know that. Yeah, 729 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 3: you don't need someone to again, I'm well aware I 730 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 3: dropped the ball on the try line. 731 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 2: Bro. 732 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah exactly. 733 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 734 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: Well, so when we walk out of here and you 735 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: beerate me for asking Jas how the reheabs go. Yeah, 736 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: he's going to rub me right into the door. But 737 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: how are the preparations going for the next few weeks? 738 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: You said you might be like a couple of weeks away. 739 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: I suppose you can't tell too much, but like, what 740 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: what does that look like as you start to approach 741 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: playing again? 742 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's yeah, like I said before, today, it 743 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 7: was my first day of actually fully in everything. So 744 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 7: I've probably got another three weeks of that, I would say, 745 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 7: of like actually being in every drill, doing every every 746 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 7: single thing, doing all the tackling. There's probably a three 747 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,959 Speaker 7: week block of that, and just like some little things 748 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,239 Speaker 7: in the gym that I've probably got to tick off 749 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 7: to just around some like just minute like musical things 750 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 7: that you'd think probably wouldn't be as big as a deal, 751 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 7: but like it actually is. So yeah, it's probably more 752 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 7: just that now it's a time thing, just like getting 753 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 7: the time of my legs, doing like thirteen v. Thirteen 754 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 7: against the Boys, actually getting tackled, tackling people. So yeah, 755 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 7: so it's hopefully it's only only three weeks. 756 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and how are the boys sort of looking at 757 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: was I suppose you've just got to take it week 758 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: by a week, But how are they looking at the 759 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: rest of the season now? 760 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like everyone's real positive. Obviously the result 761 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 7: last two weeks didn't go away, and such close games 762 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 7: that it's easy to sort of think off, we only 763 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 7: just one of those two games. You can look at 764 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 7: the ladder and all our stuff. But I feel everyone's 765 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 7: real confident and knows that where it's not like we're 766 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 7: playing horrendous and we're losing the game and getting beat 767 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 7: every week by thirty points. It's we know that what 768 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 7: when we're on, we're on, and we can beat any 769 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 7: team in the comp Like you've seen this year where 770 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 7: we have put it together and we have played good, 771 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 7: we can beat the good team. So everyone knows what 772 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 7: we have to know what our standard is. But it's 773 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 7: just more or less implementing and going out there and 774 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 7: doing it for eighty minutes. 775 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: There's also such an even season. I think, like when 776 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: you look at the ladder, we're only like a couple 777 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: of points away from sort of nine and then yeah, 778 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: under the top top eight. 779 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 3: I reckon could even be on points differentially. Yeah, yeah, 780 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 3: I was looking at it like this year compared to 781 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 3: last year, it feels like it's the fifty to fifties. 782 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 3: Last year went the Warriors way. This year they didn't, 783 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 3: and they could be the difference. Fifty to fifties go 784 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 3: our way. In three games we're seventh. 785 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, and we look at like the Melbourne game at 786 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 7: sart of the year, like you can go through you 787 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 7: can go through the year and sort of just pick 788 00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 7: out a couple of games if you win those, but 789 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 7: it's always behind. It's always like funny go back and 790 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 7: pick a game. Yeah, you just got to go we've 791 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 7: got six games. Let's try and win every single take 792 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 7: a week by week, but you're thinking we can win 793 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 7: every game, like to give ourselves the best shot. 794 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 795 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: We were saying before to Marcella over there in Canberra 796 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: when they were blowing the horn, blowing the background, ripping 797 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: a can cone, and I asked him, what's one of 798 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: the weirdest things that he's seen in the stands. Is 799 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: there anything you've seen in the in the stands? 800 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 7: Nothing, nothing like that. Yeah, I feel like that just 801 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 7: takes a cake. Like I haven't seen anything too. I 802 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 7: haven't seen anything too, but I've heard some mad sprays 803 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 7: on the some good sprays. 804 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Obviously you can't repeat what I can't repeat. 805 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't repeat that. 806 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: Do they get up here for?
