Speaker 1: Coming up on a massive one hundred percent foot As
Speaker 1: we recover from Origin one, we turn our attention to Perth,
Speaker 1: a big blow for the Blues, that dce dilemma for
Speaker 1: the Queenslanders and live in the studio tonight Angus Crichton,
Speaker 1: we catch up with Adam Reynolds in the interview. We've
Speaker 1: been waiting for Deddy Wider one on one with Lockey
Speaker 1: Gal and this game's ready to go. Fire up.
Speaker 2: Seeing a moment on dred percent.
Speaker 3: It's New South.
Speaker 1: Yes, great to have your company here on one hundred
Speaker 1: percent massive show. We're about to turn into the second
Speaker 1: half of season twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: We've already had a full.
Speaker 1: Season worth of stories and we've got a bit to
Speaker 1: two through Tonight evening.
Speaker 5: Paul Gallen, Race, Kevin Smith, James Top Dog, James Bracy,
Speaker 5: how are you doing very well? Still on top? It's
Speaker 5: only halfway through the year. Halfway through the thought not
Speaker 5: a sprinkle plate.
Speaker 1: Well said, all right, what do we learned from the round?
Speaker 1: That was, let's go through it tonight. But he got
Speaker 1: for us, Guss, what do I have on the mindset
Speaker 1: of a champion? I want to look at Nathan Cleary's
Speaker 1: goal kicking from Wednesday night where he had a terrible
Speaker 1: night with the boot, totally unfamiliar to him, and.
Speaker 5: He was really worried about it.
Speaker 1: You could see he couldn't work out exactly what was
Speaker 1: going wrong. Andrew John's blamed the footballs everything, All sorts
Speaker 1: of theories were coming out. Yet he turns out three
Speaker 1: nights later and bang, bang bangs, three straight from the sideline.
Speaker 1: Have a look at these, hit them as sweet as
Speaker 1: you like. Now I want to go to the game's
Speaker 1: greatest ever.
Speaker 5: Points scorer and Cameron Smith, did you ever have a
Speaker 5: bad day with the boot and you couldn't really work
Speaker 5: out what happened? And how mentally does that affect you
Speaker 5: when you go back to practice and start.
Speaker 6: To get it.
Speaker 7: Of course, yeah, I had plenty of off days with
Speaker 7: the boot and you're sort of trying to work out
Speaker 7: what's going wrong. At the time, you sort of got
Speaker 7: to put it aside and worry about your main role
Speaker 7: and let's go and play football. But I'm sure Nathan
Speaker 7: after Wednesday night he would have kicked a thousand footballs
Speaker 7: to fix up and come out and kick the way
Speaker 7: you did on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Case and gives it to low backs that laid backs
Speaker 1: got too good?
Speaker 5: Should I told you it was the Bulls.
Speaker 1: That's right, Kevin, What did you learn from the latest?
Speaker 7: I learned the Penrith Panthers they are not a spent force.
Speaker 7: A lot being said about their season so far, running
Speaker 7: seventeenth in the competition on Wednesday, sorry on Sunday before
Speaker 7: this game.
Speaker 6: They win this match. It was a lot like the
Speaker 6: Panther of old, high.
Speaker 7: Completion rate, kicking long the corners, making Paramatta come out
Speaker 7: of their own end for pretty much the entire second half.
Speaker 6: And they were a little bit ill disciplined early.
Speaker 7: Which that was an aspect of their game that that
Speaker 7: Ivan clearly wanted them to fix from last week. But
Speaker 7: the ice man Nathan clear ege two huge plays at
Speaker 7: the end of the game, come up with a forty
Speaker 7: twenty and then managed to score those points and kick
Speaker 7: a goal and.
Speaker 6: Just really put them ahead. And they're back. What are
Speaker 6: they now?
Speaker 2: Three points outside the eighth but Para give it to
Speaker 2: made a good crack.
Speaker 6: It's cold game.
Speaker 1: The footage start around in last and then be three
Speaker 1: points outside the eight in the back of one win gal.
Speaker 2: For you, mister Alex Johnson. Two hundred tries scores himself
Speaker 2: a hat trick on the weekend, the second man in
Speaker 2: history to hit two hundred tries and congratulations, what an effort.
Speaker 2: I've never been the biggest fan of winners, but they
Speaker 2: are such an important miss plays is an absolute frick.
Speaker 2: Some of the tries he scored, I mean, I know
Speaker 2: some have been easiest catch and putting them down, but
Speaker 2: some of the tries he scored have been absolutely amazing.
Speaker 2: And he was unreal the other day, sort of hat trick.
Speaker 2: Patrol inside and helped him out a couple of times,
Speaker 2: but it was fantastic. So two hundred tries make congratulations.
Speaker 2: I hope you're going to break the record. All the best.
Speaker 5: He's actually had a few injuries and missed a lot
Speaker 5: of games in his career. He had a whole season
Speaker 5: off where Robert Jennings scored twenty on the left wing
Speaker 5: for South Sydney. He was one of the leading tries scores.
Speaker 5: He could be on two hundred and thirty already if
Speaker 5: he hadn't had the injuries.
Speaker 2: He had twelve twelve to applydroze for last week too.
Speaker 2: You guys actually left with the flyworks started so out
Speaker 2: and that song. Very very sorry, thanks for covering for me.
Speaker 2: But on positive, normal, positive news. We've got another undercard
Speaker 2: for my fight night first Shamous as well as James
Speaker 2: Bracy and Carlos Stephanos. It's all coming together on comfort
Speaker 2: that's been around for ages.
Speaker 6: That one what he wants in his job.
Speaker 2: I'm very happy he's all coming again, all coming again
Speaker 2: out of you.
Speaker 1: I don't mind the other fight though, have a good
Speaker 1: round two coming your way to a screen very soon
Speaker 1: when Gal's getting a big girn. Now let's get back
Speaker 1: onto the footy. Back to back wins at some Corps
Speaker 1: Stadium for the Blues for the first time since ninety
Speaker 1: seven ninety eight, and now they're eyeing off back to
Speaker 1: back series wins. As we head from Brisbane to Perth.
Speaker 7: It is a spine tingling atmosphere here at sun Corp
Speaker 7: is packed to capacity.
Speaker 2: You can feel the electricity.
Speaker 8: And load up us pinging your shame suits. Fine to
Speaker 8: lose two for Turnus full time.
Speaker 9: He out weals one mill i over Queensland queens Lams.
Speaker 10: I feel pretty flat, to be honest about our performance.
Speaker 10: Now we didn't see the best of this Queensland team
Speaker 10: and that's what I'm most disappointed.
Speaker 6: About Harry Grant.
Speaker 3: I spilled it like many of our players.
Speaker 10: Harry wasn't at his best tonight, unfortunately and unfortunately well.
Speaker 7: I'm sure Billy Slater he'll have some stern words for
Speaker 7: his team members us.
Speaker 3: Rumbling back Payne's injury.
Speaker 6: We weren't sure with that either.
Speaker 5: He hadn't really trained, and then to push out the
Speaker 5: minutes and be strong the way he was was inspiration.
Speaker 11: Mine with our man of the match at paynhas congratulations.
Speaker 12: He goes to Wetwoods, he fires at the Crchton Crichton.
Speaker 6: For the corner Acrosta zach Lomax.
Speaker 1: Donnie, you're hoping that Billy shows faking you and that
Speaker 1: you would attorney surround.
Speaker 13: Yeah, definitely. I guess with losing comes the question. So
Speaker 13: we've opened ourselves up to these sorts of questions.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I love the opportunity to come back and
Speaker 7: correct your corrective.
Speaker 6: Cleary Moses brilliant hands.
Speaker 9: Fuck first time they've played together.
Speaker 1: I thought that terrific.
Speaker 2: We bet Robin Tyner and Billion it was a bit
Speaker 2: of a bride spot.
Speaker 6: What did you make an easter bo?
Speaker 10: I actually expected him to play like that but that's
Speaker 10: why he's in this position. And I thought his debut
Speaker 10: was great, so he can hold his head up by it.
Speaker 2: And the score is eighteen six.
Speaker 10: It's a series of three and that's still alive, so
Speaker 10: we'll be going after it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got no doubt about that, the determined Billy Slater,
Speaker 1: speaking after his side opening loss on their own turf.
Speaker 2: Gus, you've come away.
Speaker 1: From that opening match pretty confident about the way it
Speaker 1: sits for the Blues at the moment, I imagine your
Speaker 1: mind hasn't changed since Wednesday.
Speaker 5: No one thing. Origin taught me that it is a
Speaker 5: three game series and you need to improve in every
Speaker 5: moment of that right through the series. It gets by
Speaker 5: the third game and by the second half of the
Speaker 5: third game you should beat your peak. And I think
Speaker 5: there's a lot of improvement in this new South Wales side.
Speaker 5: I thought their performance the other night, whilst most people
Speaker 5: are calling a dominant, I thought it was really controlled.
Speaker 5: It was physical and it was conservative. I think there
Speaker 5: are a lot more opportunities for them in that game
Speaker 5: than they even explored. They didn't try to move the
Speaker 5: ball all that much, so Queensland have got a lot
Speaker 5: of improving to match what New South Wales did in
Speaker 5: game one. But it's where New South Wales get two
Speaker 5: in games two and three that should have them a
Speaker 5: little more worried. And I don't think the answers are
Speaker 5: alreadily there Origin's Origin, though we know Queensland will bounce
Speaker 5: back and we know that there'll be a different conflict.
Speaker 5: This game started really well for New South Wales. They
Speaker 5: got a flood of possession, They've got some penalties early,
Speaker 5: their forwards were able to get their domination and once
Speaker 5: they got to the front they really didn't let Queensland
Speaker 5: back into it. Now the next game could start completely
Speaker 5: different and queens they could dominate early, jump out to
Speaker 5: a twelve mier lead, and we know they've got the
Speaker 5: spirit and the tenacity to hang on. So nothing's decided.
Speaker 5: But I think if New South Wales can learn from winning,
Speaker 5: which is you learn more from your defeats, but in
Speaker 5: Origin you've also got to learn from your wins. If
Speaker 5: they can improve some more, they're going to make it
Speaker 5: very very difficult for Queensland.
Speaker 7: Well that's the concerning part for Queensland and for Queensland
Speaker 7: as Gus is that I agree with you I think
Speaker 7: there's a lot more improvement in the Blues, and I
Speaker 7: agree with you as well with your comments saying that
Speaker 7: they did play a fairly conservative for the most part
Speaker 7: of that game. So for queens not only do they
Speaker 7: have to bridge that gap from game one to come
Speaker 7: up to the Blues where they are, the Blues are
Speaker 7: going to get better again. So that's the big question
Speaker 7: for Billy, his coaches and the selectors.
Speaker 6: I guess before game two, Gal is.
Speaker 7: That side from game one have they got have they
Speaker 7: got it in on to match what the Blues had
Speaker 7: in game one plus more in game two, or is
Speaker 7: it going to have to be changed?
Speaker 2: Well, as you noticed, I think it's going to be changes.
Speaker 2: To me, then you you're probably the black one ask
Speaker 2: about how the changes because that that to me the
Speaker 2: other night wasn't a Queensland performance that I've certainly played
Speaker 2: against Anyway. Yes, the Blues were conservative, they yes that
Speaker 2: expectation of a high completion rate. But one thing that
Speaker 2: the Maroons weren't they weren't tough. They never defend like
Speaker 2: they've missed fourteen nine tackles forty nine tackles is hohod.
Speaker 2: But they'll dominate in the meter's game, the post contact meters. Now,
Speaker 2: a lot of backlashes fallen on cherry evans, which, as
Speaker 2: we know, those positions are generally under the most amount
Speaker 2: of pressure. But it's very, very hard for half back
Speaker 2: to have any sort of impact on the game when
Speaker 2: your forwards getting tally trampled, and they were for the
Speaker 2: entire match. There was probably a ten minute period where
Speaker 2: the Blues were down to twelve men where Quinland showed
Speaker 2: a bit of energy and a bit of fight, but
Speaker 2: the Blues took a straight back off. So where do
Speaker 2: you do you think they need to make change? So
Speaker 2: at the end of the day they can't go and
Speaker 2: make seven or eight changes, then they're starting all over again.
Speaker 2: There's probably only two, maybe three changes that most that'll
Speaker 2: be made. Now, where do you think they need to
Speaker 2: be made?
Speaker 7: Well, look, I haven't spoken to Billy about what his
Speaker 7: thoughts are.
Speaker 6: Going into game two.
Speaker 7: I know he's bitterly disappointed with the performance.
Speaker 6: Of his team in game one.
Speaker 7: But I'd like to think all if he makes changes,
Speaker 7: it's going to be minimal.
Speaker 6: It'll be one or two.
Speaker 7: I don't think he'll make wholesale changes. That's a huge
Speaker 7: gamble going into game two, given that you're already down
Speaker 7: one nill playing at a neutral venue as well, you've
Speaker 7: got to be fairly certain of the players that you
Speaker 7: pick and you can understand what they're going to bring
Speaker 7: to that game.
Speaker 6: A lot of talk is obviously around DC.
Speaker 1: It's the fact that he's the skipper to influenced the decision.
Speaker 7: Well, I guess it'd have some bearing. It's a big decision,
Speaker 7: isn't it to leave the current captain out, Because then
Speaker 7: that's a big decision to leave out Dally Joe Evans
Speaker 7: the captain of the Queensland.
Speaker 6: Then you've got to find the next captain. How's that?
Speaker 6: How's that player going to.
Speaker 7: Handle that that extra pressure that comes along with having
Speaker 7: to see next to the name leading their state series
Speaker 7: on the line. So there's a lot, there's a lot
Speaker 7: to consider for Billy, But you know he's he's all over.
Speaker 2: It was the greatest Queensland ever. What was your you are?
Speaker 2: But what was your perception about not kicking the spencerl
Speaker 2: and you Because at the end of the day, I
Speaker 2: know your mentality. I know's mentality when you go out there,
Speaker 2: when you go out there, the mouth told me you
Speaker 2: attack the leaders. You would take the head off the snake,
Speaker 2: the wrestle, crumble around it. Now he was out there.
Speaker 2: It was it was in the paper the day before
Speaker 2: smash this blues grub. He went away from him.
Speaker 6: Well, those journals weren't out there kicking.
Speaker 2: To be fair company South Welsh Corey Parker when you
Speaker 2: were great teammates. He said the same thing.
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I don't know what the mindset is
Speaker 7: of this current footage. Side the teams that I played in,
Speaker 7: I reckon we would have kicked off at Spencer.
Speaker 2: Reckon and gone after him a little bit, would.
Speaker 6: Just to send a message.
Speaker 7: But you know, I think at the time, I think
Speaker 7: Billy he spoke on Sunday Footy Show around the reasoning
Speaker 7: behind that.
Speaker 6: There was some sort of tactical decision behind it. But yeah,
Speaker 6: there was a bit of anticipation, wasn't there. Really?
Speaker 7: When Spencer come on the field, he come on the field,
Speaker 7: he is on the back fence down that northern end
Speaker 7: of some carb stadium. I think everyone in the stadium
Speaker 7: wanted queens on the kick off to him, but they
Speaker 7: opted to go the other way.
Speaker 6: So is what it is.
Speaker 7: I didn't think it was a big issue is what
Speaker 7: a lot of people made it. But I guess you know,
Speaker 7: in the teams that I played him, we probably would
Speaker 7: have kicked at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gus like's the idea of Red Barney the Dogies
Speaker 1: nine into the Queensland team. That's an option maybe Harry Grant,
Speaker 1: which we've seen before, back to the bench is do
Speaker 1: you see that working in somebody that could help him?
Speaker 14: Well?
Speaker 7: Well, historically right, if you look over the Harry Grant's
Speaker 7: career instat of origin, he's played the best football off
Speaker 7: the bench, I believe, and I've seen a stat which
Speaker 7: I wasn't aware of. He's had four stars now for
Speaker 7: Queensland and four losses of it.
Speaker 5: I think at that level of football, they've got to
Speaker 5: keep him out of the early battle. Yeah, because if
Speaker 5: New South Wales get out there and have possession and
Speaker 5: punch twenty tackles into him in the first fifteen minutes,
Speaker 5: it's got to take some juice out of it. Remembering
Speaker 5: it had fifty eight minutes of football in four weeks
Speaker 5: leading into that game. Lindsay Collins had only had one
Speaker 5: game back leading into that game as well. They were
Speaker 5: going to be found wanting around the middle. I think
Speaker 5: the changes in personnel needs to be minimal. I think
Speaker 5: the changes in attitude needs to be significant. I think
Speaker 5: that you can help Harry Grant and make him a
Speaker 5: weapon by keeping him out of the early fray, which
Speaker 5: brings in someone like Reedmarte who can go out there
Speaker 5: and bust himself for twenty twenty five minutes until he
Speaker 5: can't walk again, and then put Harry on. There can
Speaker 5: be an effect, and I think they need one more
Speaker 5: energetic middle to absorb a fair bit of that bulk
Speaker 5: in the early part of the game where Yo and
Speaker 5: Crichton and these fellows are just punching away at their
Speaker 5: middle trying to wear them down. Other than that, you
Speaker 5: thought that that was the best side going in. You've
Speaker 5: got a great spine, You've got athletic outside backs. If
Speaker 5: they can just hold their own in the middle a
Speaker 5: little bit, be a little bit more disciplined, not give
Speaker 5: up as much in the play the ball, not give
Speaker 5: up as many penalties. Possession of manum are a funny
Speaker 5: thing in rugby league. You know, all of a sudden
Speaker 5: you bring Dca mons terround it. I wouldn't drop Terry Evans,
Speaker 5: I really wouldn't. I know the other kid did and
Speaker 5: is close. And I know he came off the bench
Speaker 5: and look great, but he came off the bench later
Speaker 5: in the game. Let's say he goes out and starts
Speaker 5: and they punched twenty eight ahaps into him. Is he
Speaker 5: going to be able to do that after twenty five
Speaker 5: to thirty minutes now he doesn't have the experience. I
Speaker 5: think you've got to go with your skipper and go
Speaker 5: with Cherry Evans. I think they need a hooker to
Speaker 5: help Harry Grant, and I think they need just someone
Speaker 5: one more that can go out and blow himself out
Speaker 5: for twenty minutes in the middle, absorb a bit of
Speaker 5: the defense and the hit ups and get them into
Speaker 5: the contest so they're not so radid.
Speaker 2: Can Man fit into that fold, well.
Speaker 7: He could because he's got great versatility. He's played pretty
Speaker 7: much every position in the back line. He can play
Speaker 7: in the middle. He plays in the middle of the
Speaker 7: field for the Bulldogs and does a fantastic job. Talk
Speaker 7: about physicality, he hasn't got the biggest frame in the competition,
Speaker 7: but he loves it.
Speaker 6: He hits in defense as hard as anyone in the
Speaker 6: comit So he could he could fill that role.
Speaker 7: I was going to say, that's the challenge about putting
Speaker 7: another number nine in the lineup is that you couldn't
Speaker 7: have two nines plus a smaller utility.
Speaker 2: You've got to bring Hawsebury in down. I mean a
Speaker 2: bit of a motion, a bit of passion back into.
Speaker 7: The I had Cory Hawsbro in my lineup for the
Speaker 7: Billy opted to go. Trently Erro was on the bench,
Speaker 7: so it'd be interested to see if he goes for
Speaker 7: that bigger body.
Speaker 6: He's in great form at the moment. And the other
Speaker 6: thing too with Cory Hawsbro, he's a part of a
Speaker 6: side that are going really well at the moment.
Speaker 1: While we're talking big bodies, big blow today for the Blues. Barnett,
Speaker 1: who had a belter of a game in that first origin,
Speaker 1: ruptured a cl playing for the Warriors out of the
Speaker 1: weekend goal that's stick.
Speaker 2: So when he did, you can see the way buckles
Speaker 2: in there. Whenever you see someone do that, when they
Speaker 2: enjoy tackling, it's never gonna end well. So poor boy,
Speaker 2: I thought he was absolutely brilliant. Game one that there
Speaker 2: was a tackling made on the right end side the
Speaker 2: field where someone almost made a break. He just got
Speaker 2: over it and clipped him up and made the tackle.
Speaker 2: I thought he was brilliant. He's going to be a
Speaker 2: big loss. He lost to the Warriors. Two glassic player
Speaker 2: look brings Jake to Blovich names back into it by
Speaker 2: big Steph Fano was in the entire camp for game one,
Speaker 2: So you imagine I'd imagine, I'd imagine I just go
Speaker 2: straight for Stephan unless unless he gets hopefully for him,
Speaker 2: he gets pulls up. Okay, but I suppose I got
Speaker 2: to bring Jake's name back into as well. He was
Speaker 2: the former captain. But I reckon, I go stuff.
Speaker 6: Could Maxican start?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mexican start, No no risk in the world. I
Speaker 5: think key On Kala mc tonguey has been outstanding. He's
Speaker 5: on the Origin game. He was terrific and he's been
Speaker 5: doing a terrific job this house in he this year.
Speaker 5: He can play middle or edge. He can get through
Speaker 5: a lot of work. Now they've got a few options,
Speaker 5: but again, we're going to through another round of football.
Speaker 5: We're going to get to that next Monday night. Mitch
Speaker 5: Barnett might not be the only one from either side
Speaker 5: that's unavailable, so we're kind of.
Speaker 2: Picking team without I think it's definely just sure. I
Speaker 2: think he's probably gets the job. He was in camp,
Speaker 2: won the entire time, So imas pick your team.
Speaker 1: We're talking a lot of Broncho with Adam Reynolds later on.
Speaker 1: But Payne, hass gust you throw the kitchen sinking him
Speaker 1: to keep.
Speaker 5: Him at the club, don't you. Phenomenal? Absolutely phenomenal, What
Speaker 5: a what an athlete given the week that he had
Speaker 5: under the injury cloud that he had, but he does
Speaker 5: this week in week out for the Broncos as well.
Speaker 5: These numbers are just extraordinary.
Speaker 1: It's statistically the greatest front rows that's ever played the game.
Speaker 1: The body of work that he produces every week athletic.
Speaker 1: He's just he's a cover of fender. He makes breaks
Speaker 1: out wide.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I look at this play here for a front row.
Speaker 6: Get him back on all.
Speaker 5: This was late in the game. This is late in
Speaker 5: the game after he's already played on Wednesday night and
Speaker 5: he backed up for his club a couple of nights again.
Speaker 2: Smashed the perth might throw the whole house at him there.
Speaker 2: That's the problem.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: They should have to get back to the government on that.
Speaker 15: You're not trying to recruit, you get yourself commedia on speed, though,
Speaker 15: don't court play stay with us.
Speaker 5: You're watching one hundred percent Footy.
Speaker 1: Another blue superstar about to join us, Eggs Kricht, and
Speaker 1: he's in the house.
Speaker 2: I love to talk about.
Speaker 1: From origin to the Rooster's rise in twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: and then it's Deady Widler and Locklin Galvin one on one.
Speaker 1: The interview we've been waiting for is he puts on
Speaker 1: the Blue and White for the very first time to
Speaker 1: stay with us.
Speaker 6: Lucky.
Speaker 11: Your manager, Isaac Moses is despised by some people in
Speaker 11: the game and they're saying that he puts you up
Speaker 11: to this was this whole thing your decision or Isaac's decision.
Speaker 13: This whole thing was my decision.
Speaker 16: I told Isaac what I wanted and he says yes,
Speaker 16: and that's that's basically it.
Speaker 13: I've run this thing. I've backed myself.
Speaker 16: And I'm a pretty confident kid in that way. I've
Speaker 16: chosen what I've wanted and obviously we've got all this
Speaker 16: backlash from it, and I'll take that on the chin
Speaker 16: because it's something I've driven.
Speaker 12: Sh They say, before we leave this world, life flashes
Speaker 12: before our eyes. The moments that matter, those defining seconds,
Speaker 12: the origen Like life.
Speaker 4: It comes and flashes.
Speaker 14: Every step, every sacrifice.
Speaker 4: Culminating in this arena, a fleeting glimpse, a blinking moment,
Speaker 4: immortalized forever. But this is the end.
Speaker 14: This is state of horror chulogy, where the game comes alive.
Speaker 14: When it's time to thrill, life will flash before their eyes.
Speaker 1: We'll get to origin shortly, but of course we're twenty
Speaker 1: four hours after the fact. The Rooster's playing host to
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Everyone's been talking about the unexpected rise of
Speaker 1: the Rooster in season twenty twenty five, but the rise
Speaker 1: of the Raider is something that's called everyone by surprise,
Speaker 1: and you've got to witness that first hand. Last night,
Speaker 1: there's some thing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was solo, man. I think I was disappointing
Speaker 9: with sort of being really good for sixty minutes all
Speaker 9: year and apart from that round one blowout. But this
Speaker 9: that last twenty minutes I've been able to get done.
Speaker 1: It was the ultimate match in terms of entertainment factor.
Speaker 1: Tries galore, But what is it about that side that
Speaker 1: has got them to where they're sitting now on the
Speaker 1: Laddin second spot with three buys up their sleeve, my
Speaker 1: dear as well.
Speaker 9: I feel it's the experienced sort of got underrated a
Speaker 9: bit like Taipan. It does such a big job from
Speaker 9: their big pauper as well. Corey Housberg has been good
Speaker 9: as well. Inn't it the Englishman that they brought in. Yeah,
Speaker 9: they've been unreal So I think their full pack is
Speaker 9: really solid and less guys like Hudson on the back
Speaker 9: of it, and they're exciting obs. It's going to be freaks.
Speaker 2: And I want to ask about Mark Normonga need to.
Speaker 2: He's an amazing chant. I'm seeing him op closer person.
Speaker 2: He's an amazing beast. He's a big body. He had
Speaker 2: some of the most amazing things on a football field
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. And then he comes up with a
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of errors. He had made four
Speaker 2: last night. He made four when he scored that amazing
Speaker 2: try a few weeks ago. As a senior player. How
Speaker 2: do you keep his confidence up to make sure he's
Speaker 2: still able to do those amazing things, but you've got
Speaker 2: to limit some of those errors.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think he's still learning. That's a hard thing.
Speaker 9: You see such a freak like that, and he's playing
Speaker 9: so well and doing all these crazy things. But he's
Speaker 9: played probably five or six games a league in his
Speaker 9: whole life. So I think he's just a little a
Speaker 9: little bit of focus. That sort of the story of
Speaker 9: our team at the minute. I've never seen anything that
Speaker 9: was when.
Speaker 2: Better get out here too.
Speaker 13: What he brings it about.
Speaker 2: He's one of the most amazing.
Speaker 6: Things that we called upon.
Speaker 9: All of his gene. That's a full rugby sevens clip right,
Speaker 9: but no, he's a freaking it's such a it's such
Speaker 9: a great guy as well. He's fitting really well at
Speaker 9: the club and love love playing with monkey.
Speaker 6: Hey younger, tell us about this skipper, James Tedesco.
Speaker 7: He seems like he's got a new found energy this year.
Speaker 9: He's the peak of his powers this year. Ted. I
Speaker 9: think he's just so consistent. We forget, but I've never
Speaker 9: seen him play a game that's under a seven. You
Speaker 9: know what I mean. Is his best game and his
Speaker 9: worst game is so close together. And I think it's
Speaker 9: the work that he puts in during the week. It's
Speaker 9: such a pro throughout his whole preparation and just works
Speaker 9: so hard, does all little things right and leads by
Speaker 9: his actions. It's good playing under.
Speaker 5: Him Angus last year, Joey Marnu, Suwa Lee, Jared Hargreaves,
Speaker 5: Luke Keary, Brandon Smith, Sam Walker, Sattilli Tuperneur. It's a
Speaker 5: big drain on senior experience talent, isn't.
Speaker 13: I know?
Speaker 9: Somehow we still don't have any cash as well, and
Speaker 9: you guys keep signing everyone, so I don't know what
Speaker 9: I've got there. There's gonna be an investigation, investigation.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to be nice.
Speaker 2: Tone.
Speaker 5: It's a big drain, is it is?
Speaker 9: I think it's taken a while with us.
Speaker 5: I can't manage a recamp for you have been pretty good.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we've invested heavily in our youngers and
Speaker 9: they've been doing a great job for us.
Speaker 5: I think who's really impressed you're in those young ones.
Speaker 9: I think Blake Steve has been huge for us, slshly
Speaker 9: for Kenny and now seeing Beniah come through with Young Hooker.
Speaker 9: He's really crafty out to nine and Robert Toyer, Bobby Toy. Yeah,
Speaker 9: he's been great. I'm so so happy he got his
Speaker 9: opportunity in Origin as well. Like we're talking off there before,
Speaker 9: he's just a baller and just goes out there and
Speaker 9: kills her.
Speaker 2: How about your half back and see he's going. Obviously
Speaker 2: you bought Chad Townsend for a bit of experience and
Speaker 2: I suppose to help bring players on. But Young has
Speaker 2: been playing pretty well the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, both of them. Sander has been great, but Hugo's
Speaker 9: kick is what sort of I don't know, sort of
Speaker 9: unlocked that team a bit, being able to kick along
Speaker 9: and sort of get into those grinds of those games.
Speaker 9: Because as you guys all know, you've been around a
Speaker 9: rugby longing long enough. You just play simple and kicked
Speaker 9: the corner. It's halfway do you winning a game?
Speaker 7: Talking about half backs, how's Sammy Walker young mate? Is
Speaker 7: any close he's been back?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Good, really close. I think I think he might have
Speaker 9: been having a little trot in the couple of weeks,
Speaker 9: maybe like forty minutes in reserve grade soon. So I
Speaker 9: don't know if that's a scoop for you guys or not.
Speaker 9: I'm talking out of time, but scoops.
Speaker 2: So where does DC you fit into all this?
Speaker 9: Yeah? I don't know, man, I don't know, and I
Speaker 9: think you guys probably know more than me. I haven't
Speaker 9: heard anything, but obviously is a great player and adds
Speaker 9: value wherever he goes. I'll just be disappointed if we'll
Speaker 9: lose any of our young guys that are doing such
Speaker 9: a great job for us. Yeah, Sat and Hugo have
Speaker 9: been huge for us this year, and yeah, hopefully we
Speaker 9: can make sure everyone can stay.
Speaker 5: I think Sammy Walker makes a big difference. I mean
Speaker 5: a number of the games this year, you've kind of
Speaker 5: been in front of that hour mark and you just
Speaker 5: haven't now to quite finish it off. Like the game
Speaker 5: against the Raiders, you were so so much in that contest.
Speaker 5: They just got a little better of your late.
Speaker 9: I don't know how we were in that contest, to
Speaker 9: be fair. We were dropping balls all over the park
Speaker 9: and we were acting like we didn't want to win
Speaker 9: the game. So the fact that we were up at
Speaker 9: half fun was wild. But I think the Bones are
Speaker 9: a good strong teams there, and putting Sammy and will
Speaker 9: definitely help boost that. I think his scores tries, I
Speaker 9: don't know where points to sort of flow off him.
Speaker 9: With his short kicks, He's got the best short kick
Speaker 9: I've ever seen. You can kick it, lifts his foot
Speaker 9: up to hit the ball out of his hand pretty
Speaker 9: much so you can't defend it, so it would be
Speaker 9: good to having.
Speaker 1: But I know Jolly Man who has been doing some
Speaker 1: workouts in your gym, like he's back for a fortnight.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Have you seen him around?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Yes, I saw him minute training Captain's Run and
Speaker 9: he obviously came to the game as well.
Speaker 3: Get in his ear.
Speaker 9: Good to see Joe Bakna. I. I think he's back
Speaker 9: for France.
Speaker 1: So did he enjoy it?
Speaker 9: He's loving and I think I said to him, that's
Speaker 9: the body feeling, said, you make three tackles the game,
Speaker 9: take five runs.
Speaker 1: So the dream half his luck there, he is living
Speaker 1: it up and you'd be welcomed back the open arms.
Speaker 5: All right, Origin, What was your take on the game?
Speaker 5: In game one, I.
Speaker 9: Filled the start of the game. It didn't feel like
Speaker 9: a regular Origin game. It felt like it was stopped
Speaker 9: start and there penalties and errors as well, which is
Speaker 9: like some of the games I've played in the it's
Speaker 9: end to end in years, just the opposite of game
Speaker 9: last year, literally literally, but it was still that fierce
Speaker 9: sort of contest in that battle that we have. I
Speaker 9: feel like we were just a super connected team and
Speaker 9: like you guys were talking earlier. He was stuck to
Speaker 9: the process and the sort of ground them down. But
Speaker 9: they're a champion side. We know that they'll be back.
Speaker 5: Mitch Mas has played five eight on the left. He
Speaker 5: was your partner across there. How did you find working
Speaker 5: with him?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I love running off him. I think he's so fast,
Speaker 9: He's running games super underrated and I think when he
Speaker 9: takes off. It took me a while earlier in the
Speaker 9: weeks were training in the wet and then when we
Speaker 9: had our first session on like a fast deck out
Speaker 9: at Penwrith that day, he was getting too far ahead
Speaker 9: of me. I didn't realize how quick he was. So yeah,
Speaker 9: I just got to try and be nice and flat
Speaker 9: with him and take off and be ready for the
Speaker 9: ball at any time. He doesn't even think. He just
Speaker 9: grabs it and rips it to you.
Speaker 13: So what about it?
Speaker 2: What about your time with Laurie Daly? I love planning
Speaker 2: a lawyer. I could feel his emotion and his connection
Speaker 2: to the Jersey when he spoke about it. Did you
Speaker 2: feel that and did you enjoy playing under him?
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, I loved it. I think he's obviously
Speaker 9: a legend of the blues himself as a player, and yeah,
Speaker 9: he's coached a lot of games as also. He's no,
Speaker 9: he's been in the arena a lot of times before.
Speaker 9: So to see his passion and his drive and the
Speaker 9: way he loves a jersey is pretty special play. I've
Speaker 9: seen highlights, Yeah, but I would have been that's his
Speaker 9: favorite of all time. Yeah, I've heard that from a
Speaker 9: few people. But seeing these pictures him in the box
Speaker 9: flowing up, I love that kind of stuff. Actually, that game,
Speaker 9: that's the passion.
Speaker 1: Now from here to Perth, that's the big challenge to
Speaker 1: back it up and do what you've got to do.
Speaker 1: Is there another year? Is there more of that from
Speaker 1: this Blue Side?
Speaker 9: I think definitely. I think yeah that was that game
Speaker 9: was just off one sort of week of training and
Speaker 9: half of it was underwater. So we've got plenty of
Speaker 9: of work we need to do. We definitely won't be
Speaker 9: relying on what we've done in game one. I think
Speaker 9: we've got to go and recreate it. You've got to
Speaker 9: go and build those combinations again and keep working with
Speaker 9: it because we've got a really good core group there.
Speaker 9: The more we can build on that, the better we
Speaker 9: will be.
Speaker 7: You're part of the Blues forward pack who comes in
Speaker 7: for Midge but.
Speaker 9: Unfortunate injury to him. Yeah, send him my sending I
Speaker 9: love to Midge Barnie. Yeah, it's such a big part
Speaker 9: of our team and seem go down like that. We
Speaker 9: love your mate and the rest of them get right.
Speaker 9: But I don't know who comes in. I think there's
Speaker 9: a few names.
Speaker 5: Maybe he's a Queensland.
Speaker 7: Him.
Speaker 6: Don't worry, don't worry. I won't tell you.
Speaker 15: It's just a curious part of the media becoming.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I don't know, but you guys are floating keyon. No,
Speaker 9: he's got plenty of We've got plenty of so anyone
Speaker 9: could any of those guys who're.
Speaker 1: Talking about adoptions great depth it amongst all, this is
Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary doing what Nathan Cleary does a lot of
Speaker 1: scuttle around in the rugby union world lately. Gus about
Speaker 1: Nathan maybe being interested in heading over to the fifteen
Speaker 1: man Corid rugby Union where you obviously piled your trade,
Speaker 1: and I know it's always there on the horizon as
Speaker 1: a potential option for you later on. Could you see
Speaker 1: Nathan playing a role of a ten in for sure?
Speaker 9: I think he is suited down to a tea, but
Speaker 9: I don't know if you'll ever leave Penrith. I think, yeah,
Speaker 9: what they've achieved there and his legacy there is something
Speaker 9: that I'm sure that he thinks about. But also yeah,
Speaker 9: he would kill it in union if.
Speaker 5: He goes to the Union. Off flight to Mars.
Speaker 9: Much, Yeah, make sure he eclipsed this, Make sure he do.
Speaker 5: You want me to go to Mars imagine imagine the
Speaker 5: first Channel.
Speaker 17: And I want me to go to ma Tweets Imagine
Speaker 17: the tweets.
Speaker 2: Field, No doubt about that.
Speaker 6: What about you though?
Speaker 2: Rugby union? Is it still in there?
Speaker 9: I've learnt my lessons. I don't talk about any union.
Speaker 2: As Bracey wants to know when you're off contract.
Speaker 18: He's doing a bit of recruitment for the Bears.
Speaker 9: Sign I'm signed next year. I don't know what I'm
Speaker 9: doing the gaxt year, but I love the club and
Speaker 9: I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Speaker 6: I can see he'll be over there in a couple
Speaker 6: of weeks. You'll check out the check out the sites.
Speaker 9: Have a coffee mate? Yeah?
Speaker 5: What's the weather in Perth? Todays?
Speaker 9: Always?
Speaker 2: Always, every single day.
Speaker 1: Great to have you in here I was watching what unfolded,
Speaker 1: particularly for you're a Blues fan out there last Wednesday
Speaker 1: and bring on Perth.
Speaker 9: No worries, thanks lads.
Speaker 2: Angus Crichton join us here on one hundred foot. He
Speaker 2: stayed with us in just the moment.
Speaker 1: One of those players that gusts sized up and the
Speaker 1: Doggie's got yes one on one.
Speaker 9: We've been waiting for this.
Speaker 1: Lucky Galvin with Denny Wider and Danny joins us too.
Speaker 2: For all us got all surrounding it. That's next year on.
Speaker 3: Lucky.
Speaker 11: First of all, how are you mentally physically now?
Speaker 13: I'm going good.
Speaker 16: Obviously, it's probably been a big couple of months for me.
Speaker 16: I think I handle it alright. It's probably the worst
Speaker 16: thing for me is probably it affects your family more
Speaker 16: than myself. I think they've done nothing. It's all me
Speaker 16: really doing it, and they're getting a bit of the
Speaker 16: blame for that. So that's probably the hardest thing, seeing
Speaker 16: them struggle a bit.
Speaker 11: The day he knocked back six million dollars or say
Speaker 11: from the West Tigers, that must be a bizarre day
Speaker 11: in your life because that's not going to happen too often.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 16: Money was really never never like a thing of playing
Speaker 16: that was never really me. I just played because I
Speaker 16: loved the game, played with my brothers in the backyard
Speaker 16: and that. So people were going to see that and think, oh,
Speaker 16: that's stupid. You could have set your life up or whatever.
Speaker 11: You told the Tigers early because you want to at
Speaker 11: least give them the chance to rebuild.
Speaker 3: But that's been criticized.
Speaker 16: It probably come out in probably a bad way. I
Speaker 16: just they kind of asked, obviously Isaac and us, if
Speaker 16: we want to look at the deal and that, and
Speaker 16: we just thought telling them early and then letting them
Speaker 16: know that I wasn't going to hang around, and we
Speaker 16: obviously didn't ask for a release or nothing back then,
Speaker 16: and we probably won't be here at the end of
Speaker 16: my contract and like happy days, move on, and you know,
Speaker 16: I'll play the rest of the couple of years out
Speaker 16: for the Tigers.
Speaker 13: But obviously went a bit different.
Speaker 11: The most controversial part of all of that was that
Speaker 11: the reason you gave was because you felt you wanted
Speaker 11: to be coached differently or you could develop elsewhere.
Speaker 3: Is that fair to say.
Speaker 16: It wasn't coaching, It was more just developing. And that
Speaker 16: was all on me. I just felt like to improve myself.
Speaker 16: I wanted a change and a move and wasn't because
Speaker 16: of Benji. It wasn't because of a ritual or none
Speaker 16: of that. It was nothing because of them. It was
Speaker 16: because I just felt a change would get me out
Speaker 16: of my comfort zone would probably be the best thing
Speaker 16: for me. And I'm not usually the kid that would
Speaker 16: really want to do that. I think I like staying
Speaker 16: around and I've got some of my best mates of
Speaker 16: the Tigers, and for me to develop as a player,
Speaker 16: I think moving and meeting new people and understanding new
Speaker 16: systems that was probably the best thing for my.
Speaker 3: Rouguy crew, do you feel Benji's a reasonable coach?
Speaker 16: I'm so grateful for Benji giving me my debut and
Speaker 16: you know, put putting faith in me to play my
Speaker 16: skill and play my footy.
Speaker 13: He's a great fellow.
Speaker 16: He's actually a great bloke and yeah, nothing bad towards Benji.
Speaker 3: Did you feel that was misinterpreted?
Speaker 16: Yeah, I thought it was misinterpreted of it. But at
Speaker 16: the end of the day, people are going to have
Speaker 16: their opinion and they're allowed to have that.
Speaker 6: Lucky.
Speaker 11: The Instagram posts from a couple of players from Jerome
Speaker 11: Luite do you get impacted by those Instagram posts.
Speaker 16: That's probably something I can't really talk about at the moment.
Speaker 13: Leaving the club.
Speaker 16: We obviously had an agreement where there's some things that
Speaker 16: we probably can't talk about, and that's probably obviously one
Speaker 16: of the things we can't talk about.
Speaker 3: So I believe that you and Jerome not get along.
Speaker 16: People like to think we don't we do we? Me
Speaker 16: and Drome got on. We got on fine. We were
Speaker 16: probably weren't going over each other's houses having sleepovers than that.
Speaker 13: Because not every Geena makes like like we.
Speaker 16: Were only together for a short period of time.
Speaker 13: But we always got on.
Speaker 16: We always spoke, we always talked, and people like to
Speaker 16: think that we never got on.
Speaker 11: What was being said was that you were jealous of
Speaker 11: Jerome because he came into the side and got to
Speaker 11: be the big dog. Did you feel jilted or slighted?
Speaker 16: I never walked in once into Concord thinking oh stuff here,
Speaker 16: miss coming here and taking.
Speaker 13: All the all the reins and all that. I never
Speaker 13: thought that once.
Speaker 16: And yeah, people obviously can assume that, and obviously, like
Speaker 16: I said, they can have their opinions.
Speaker 11: When you were telling the Tigers players about what was
Speaker 11: going on.
Speaker 3: Is it true they mocked you or turning their back
Speaker 3: when you were No, that never happened.
Speaker 13: Wow, that surprised me, Like, yeah, happened.
Speaker 16: I got up in front of him twice, and because
Speaker 16: we had a full team meeting with coaches and then
Speaker 16: we had a just a players meeting, and I got
Speaker 16: up and I spoke to him and they all got
Speaker 16: behind me. That was never the truth. I've seen that,
Speaker 16: and a lot of them were supportive.
Speaker 11: Lucky, your manager, Isaac moses he's despised by some people
Speaker 11: in the game and they're saying that he puts you
Speaker 11: up to. This was this whole thing your decision or
Speaker 11: Isaac's decision.
Speaker 13: This whole thing was my decision.
Speaker 16: I told Isaac what I wanted and he says yes,
Speaker 16: And that's basically I've read this thing. I've backed myself
Speaker 16: and I'm a pretty confident kid in that way. I've
Speaker 16: chose what I've wanted and obviously we've got all this
Speaker 16: backlash from it. And I'll take that on the chin
Speaker 16: because it's something I've driven.
Speaker 11: You say that with confidence, but people may not believe you,
Speaker 11: but it's genuinely what happened.
Speaker 16: Obviously, here's my manager and he has a big role
Speaker 16: to do in my career, and obviously my parents do
Speaker 16: as well. I can say wholehearted that this was all
Speaker 16: driven by me.
Speaker 11: Were the Bulldogs always going to be your destination?
Speaker 16: No, we spoke to Para as well. I obviously met
Speaker 16: Rosey and he was a great guy. And I obviously
Speaker 16: met Siro as well, and you know, we spoke to
Speaker 16: both of them. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 16: obviously I've.
Speaker 3: Chose the dog is why are the Bulldogs?
Speaker 16: I think meeting Siro, I think the way he spoke
Speaker 16: to me and how he has this club running at
Speaker 16: the moment, obviously it's something I want.
Speaker 13: To be a part of.
Speaker 16: Just watching them the last couple of months and seeing
Speaker 16: what they're building is obviously pretty cool too.
Speaker 13: You know they're coming first and ladder.
Speaker 16: That's pretty weird to go into a side that's obviously
Speaker 16: going so good, And I'm pretty grateful that they were
Speaker 16: one of.
Speaker 13: The clubs after me.
Speaker 16: Were you close to Paramount Rosie obviously such a great guy.
Speaker 16: I wouldn't say either either role. I feel pretty close
Speaker 16: to both of them, and but at the end of
Speaker 16: the day, we obviously, as me and my family and
Speaker 16: Isaac and Adam and that we all ow had our
Speaker 16: chats and obviously it's my decision what club I'm going
Speaker 16: to go through to the next three years, And yeah,
Speaker 16: I chose the Dogs.
Speaker 3: How many chide you d you mind? You reckon?
Speaker 5: I don't reckon.
Speaker 16: I changed my mind. It was just thinks of the
Speaker 16: positives for this club. Think of the positives, put them
Speaker 16: all together and at the end of the day.
Speaker 13: The Dogs.
Speaker 11: I sit on a panel with Gus Gould and he's
Speaker 11: been heavily criticized for trying to use his media position
Speaker 11: and by saying, you're the best young player you've seen.
Speaker 11: Did Gus play a big role in signing you? Who
Speaker 11: led the charge little Dogs?
Speaker 16: I was obviously Cameron Serrado. I'm honestly what Gust was saying,
Speaker 16: I didn't mean Gus till yesterday.
Speaker 3: You have to earn your jersey. Would you care if
Speaker 3: you started in reserve grade or off the bench.
Speaker 16: Now where I already spoke to sir about that. We've
Speaker 16: had long talks about reserve grade and coming off the
Speaker 16: bench and I'm all for it. It's whatever the best
Speaker 16: for that team. And obviously they are coming first and
Speaker 16: they're going good. I don't expect to walk into that
Speaker 16: team straight away.
Speaker 11: Lucky, could you play half back? You feel confident you
Speaker 11: could guide a team. Is there any indication from Cameron
Speaker 11: Serrato where you told we're signing you to play a
Speaker 11: certain position.
Speaker 16: He threw up a number of positions. Actually it was
Speaker 16: quite surprising. So yeah, I'm going there practicing all the
Speaker 16: crafts for a lot of positions.
Speaker 11: The Bulldogs love your utility. They're on a real path
Speaker 11: the Bulldogs, aren't they They seem to be. You know,
Speaker 11: they've got they've got to steal about them that they
Speaker 11: want to be, not just a good side this year,
Speaker 11: but a good side for a long time.
Speaker 16: As Mansuro probably have spoken about, we're not there for
Speaker 16: a couple of weeks. We're there for three years or
Speaker 16: three and a half years on the contract. We're not
Speaker 16: going to We're not here to just win next week.
Speaker 16: We're here to win the next three three and a
Speaker 16: half years.
Speaker 3: Probably a tough question.
Speaker 11: There's a lot of Tigers fans who are really going
Speaker 11: to dislike you and will never forgive you.
Speaker 3: What do you say, jam No.
Speaker 13: I understand where they're coming from.
Speaker 16: I think they can have their opinion and they can
Speaker 16: have their obviously hatred and that against me, and I
Speaker 16: understand that, and I think the main thing is I
Speaker 16: never wanted to disrespect the club.
Speaker 13: I never wanted to hurt the club or whatever.
Speaker 16: And I'm just doing it for my best interest, I think,
Speaker 16: and I hope the best success for the whole club
Speaker 16: and the whole organization.
Speaker 5: So young, so confidence.
Speaker 1: What an intriguing conversation, Lucky Galvin one on one with
Speaker 1: Danny Weidler there in a wide ranging interview.
Speaker 5: We've heard so much spoken about him, Daddy, Your biggest
Speaker 5: takeaway from actually hearing from the man himself.
Speaker 11: Impressive kid, so young, like you said, but highly impressive.
Speaker 3: I all day, every day I interview.
Speaker 11: Football players and all ages, and I have to say
Speaker 11: I was blown away by how composed, how calm, how
Speaker 11: well thought out. So when we sat down for the interview,
Speaker 11: he didn't say to me there are no questions off limits.
Speaker 11: He didn't ask me what I was going to ask.
Speaker 11: He just sat down and wanted to face the music,
Speaker 11: and he wanted to tell his story and he got
Speaker 11: the chance to do that. And I was really really impressed.
Speaker 11: And I can see why clubs would want to have
Speaker 11: him he's young. He's still young like he's That's what
Speaker 11: struck me. He's got the baby face.
Speaker 1: And what about the dream Chase of shirt.
Speaker 11: He said someone sent it to him and he say
Speaker 11: he wore it.
Speaker 6: So I don't know how much I.
Speaker 3: Don't have the dogs to be happy.
Speaker 11: He wasn't in the Bulldogs outfit, but the dogs didn't
Speaker 11: the dogs didn't actually know we're doing it. It wasn't
Speaker 11: organized through Canterbury and we did the interview and I
Speaker 11: was just impressed with the young man that he is.
Speaker 11: He owned a lot of things. I think my biggest
Speaker 11: takeaway was, I mean, there's been a hell of a
Speaker 11: lot of criticism that Isaac Moses is this puppet master
Speaker 11: who's made him suddenly leave the Tigers for his own
Speaker 11: purposes because he doesn't like Benji Marshall. He saw then
Speaker 11: Lachlan Galvin came out and said it's all on him.
Speaker 11: He orchestrated it, he wanted it to happen. He made
Speaker 11: it happen. There are things he couldn't talk about, obviously
Speaker 11: bullying because that was part of his settlement to leave.
Speaker 11: And Gus, I think you've got a good one in
Speaker 11: terms of a human and Yeah, he's got a lot
Speaker 11: of I think he's got more developing to do. As
Speaker 11: a footballer, you'd know that better than I would. But
Speaker 11: as a human being, he seems like a good kid.
Speaker 5: He certainly does. I think that interview as much as
Speaker 5: you learned about Lachland Galvin, I think it teaches us
Speaker 5: just as much about our media, our rugby league media,
Speaker 5: and everything we've been in what we've been reading over
Speaker 5: the last few months, about relationships with Tigers players, about
Speaker 5: relationships with the club itself, about who instigated the move,
Speaker 5: to him coming to the Bulldogs, about who he's met
Speaker 5: and who he hasn't met. That's from the horse's mouth, yep, right.
Speaker 5: Yet that's completely different to the narrative that's been tried
Speaker 5: to be created.
Speaker 1: Over the last few weeks with a couple of things shocking.
Speaker 5: For a kid like that, you know, And it's one
Speaker 5: of the things I tried to points I've been trying
Speaker 5: to make through all this. You don't understand what the
Speaker 5: media does to family. He was more worried about his
Speaker 5: family than himself. He said he brought this on himself.
Speaker 5: He did this himself, and it was his decision to
Speaker 5: do all this. But here are the facts, here's my
Speaker 5: relationship with the West Tigers. This is why I've made
Speaker 5: the decison, and this is why I went to the Bulldogs. Now,
Speaker 5: that's completely different to the narrative that we've had to
Speaker 5: put up with in the media that all brushes off us.
Speaker 5: I just don't know how brushes off a twenty year
Speaker 5: old kid like that, How he could be so direct
Speaker 5: and so composed and even do the interview like ninety
Speaker 5: nine percent of kids would avoid that interview yep, Like
Speaker 5: they would say no, their club wouldn't let them, or
Speaker 5: you didn't tell us you were doing the interview, which
Speaker 5: we'll talk about later. But the effects that all of
Speaker 5: that media has on their family is incredible, incredible. But
Speaker 5: what he showed you there is obviously his class and
Speaker 5: his maturity and for one so young, and the really
Speaker 5: good point he made there. We've signed for three and
Speaker 5: a half years, not for three weeks, and that's a
Speaker 5: message we've given our coaching staff and everybody else. This
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be done in the next three weeks.
Speaker 5: It's about the player we're The player we're buying is
Speaker 5: the player we're expecting to be in three years time.
Speaker 2: So I think for the put of the backlash, I
Speaker 2: think you've got to understand some of the backlash. So
Speaker 2: he did have a contract to the West Tigers he's
Speaker 2: walked out on. So I think you got under stand
Speaker 2: why people, why West Tiger's fans in particular, just.
Speaker 5: On that, just on that point. And he made that
Speaker 5: point he said, I'm not extending my contract when it's over.
Speaker 5: I understand that I'm quite happy to play here for
Speaker 5: the next day.
Speaker 2: I understand that I would love to see him finish
Speaker 2: this year out and then and then gather dogs. I
Speaker 2: think it was untenable when the stories come out that
Speaker 2: he's wanted to be caged by someone else. He obviously
Speaker 2: said that wasn't true, which is fair enough. But I
Speaker 2: think you got to understand West Tiger's fans. It's fair enough.
Speaker 2: They're upset about what's happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hate I hate players. You go back to
Speaker 5: my podpast I said two or three times in the
Speaker 5: last two or three years. I hope the West Tigers
Speaker 5: keep hold on to him, but I don't like clubs
Speaker 5: using tellon love young players. But you listen to Lachlan
Speaker 5: Galvin there, it's his decision, he's made it for certain reasons,
Speaker 5: and this is how it went down, as simple as that.
Speaker 1: The intense scrutiny doesn't end here. If anything, it only intensifies.
Speaker 1: Then he particularly leading into the first game that he'll
Speaker 1: be playing.
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, we're sitting here with the top dog and
Speaker 11: he's like going to tell me if he's playing or not.
Speaker 11: But I'd imagine that Cameron's sdo has got a big
Speaker 11: decision to make. I think he'll be named somewhere in
Speaker 11: the Bulldogs squad to play the game. I reckon they
Speaker 11: might name more than twenty players and he'll be a
Speaker 11: part of that, and then they'll.
Speaker 1: It's against the.
Speaker 11: Which makes it even spicey, and there could be seventy
Speaker 11: thousand or whatever because it would ten dollar tickets, you know.
Speaker 11: But yeah, I think he'll be named somewhere in that squad.
Speaker 11: And whether he comes straight in or if he's a
Speaker 11: bench player, I don't know. But I think Cameron Seruado
Speaker 11: has had him for a couple of training sessions already
Speaker 11: and he'll wanted to see how he fits into that dog.
Speaker 2: I think it's said so there's a bit of pressure
Speaker 2: on him. He's twenty years of age, he's played thirty
Speaker 2: one games of first grade. He's an amazing TN as
Speaker 2: we know. But if he come into this dog side
Speaker 2: somewhere and all of a sudden you start on the
Speaker 2: slippery slope, it's going to fall back on it. Gus,
Speaker 2: you're gonna give u a scoop.
Speaker 11: You're going to tell us if he's playing or not.
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's playing.
Speaker 1: Well, what I do know is, and we've had this
Speaker 1: discussion amongst the coaching stuff, or they've had the discussion
Speaker 1: while I was there, and I just said, Tom, the
Speaker 1: one thing I said to him is three years, not
Speaker 1: three weeks.
Speaker 5: You don't have him a little bit. You don't have
Speaker 5: a bit. He'll tell us when he's going to play.
Speaker 2: He'll tell me. What I'm asking is, do you pretend
Speaker 2: to me a bit and keep him reserve?
Speaker 5: Now, I haven't got one for you. I don't know,
Speaker 5: and I don't think the coach will know till later
Speaker 5: this week, until he's had a few sessions with them.
Speaker 5: But at the moment, my message is we're signing for
Speaker 5: three years, not three weeks. We don't have to solve
Speaker 5: this problem now. The site is sitting on top of
Speaker 5: the competition you had one nine out of the left.
Speaker 2: Understand, if you're a Bulldogs fan, you bring this blake
Speaker 2: and you change a side and you start losing a
Speaker 2: few games, well they're not going to be.
Speaker 5: That sort of stuff doesn't scare us at all. Losing
Speaker 5: doesn't scare us, and it won't be because of Lachlan
Speaker 5: Galvin that we lose games. He went, you know, it's
Speaker 5: not part of what we are.
Speaker 1: We don't care any news yet on Toby Sexton and
Speaker 1: his future at the club, because evening changed.
Speaker 9: This last month.
Speaker 5: Toby's the training training told me out his best training
Speaker 5: session of the year today. He was absolutely outsteanding. You
Speaker 5: don't know what goes on in our club. What you
Speaker 5: hear from the media. You don't know what goes on
Speaker 5: in our club, and nor are we obliged to tell you.
Speaker 5: Nor are we obliged to tell you what goes on
Speaker 5: in our club. We just get on with our stuff.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: If he missed out on the famous Phil goold Chinese meal,
Speaker 1: can you take him out from can get the opportunity
Speaker 1: caught him privately?
Speaker 5: If and when he wins a game for.
Speaker 3: Us, he don't care about winning or losing.
Speaker 5: He gets one, well, We're in it for the long haul,
Speaker 5: three years, not three weeks. We're bought him for the player.
Speaker 5: He's going to be great to hear from him regardless.
Speaker 3: Yeah, credit to him. He really handled himself well.
Speaker 2: As a spectator now and as a fan, I just
Speaker 2: want to see him play good footy. He's nineteen, he's
Speaker 2: of as been. They have a lot of fuss made
Speaker 2: over at nineteen, and I just want to see him go
Speaker 2: play good footy, play the way he thinks he goes.
Speaker 2: He's very confident. You can't you can't doubt his confidence
Speaker 2: is going to be so I can see him being
Speaker 2: a halfway, but I just want to se him play
Speaker 2: good footy, play good footing and live up to some
Speaker 2: of the expectation.
Speaker 1: Just needs to learn to wear a beanie properly and
Speaker 1: do something about that hair. That's that's the genuine the
Speaker 1: Lord Christmas Bowl cut.
Speaker 5: It's brilliant.
Speaker 2: That's all I know.
Speaker 5: Talking about handoos, pretty boy, I'm clicking on the mind
Speaker 5: some great scattle.
Speaker 18: Stay with us, save me Ovam Reynolds Gers he's standing by.
Speaker 18: We're going to have a chat with a great renod
Speaker 18: been doing it the Broncos. That'll the first time of
Speaker 18: the attention stay with us, hundred percent footing with that
Speaker 18: man right after the buck.
Speaker 2: American.
Speaker 17: The pleasure today to introduce the head coach of the
Speaker 17: Prison Broncos.
Speaker 6: I'm a different coach now.
Speaker 3: I believe I'm a way better coach because of everything
Speaker 3: that I'll be through.
Speaker 2: Come home speech is way over. Take huge opening round wind.
Speaker 1: It was a demolition job at Alion Stadium.
Speaker 6: And the half century no be there towards the end
Speaker 6: of the year.
Speaker 3: Every organization is different.
Speaker 2: My goodness, that sports and stunding Rice tonight.
Speaker 1: We know the Broncos can win brilliantly depending on that
Speaker 1: time and in the group and the outcomes you get
Speaker 1: each week.
Speaker 10: It's the tough grinding side of the Broncos that I'm
Speaker 10: sure Mads that we're looking to implement into the team
Speaker 10: of us. Absolutely con Broncos Ford Martin top All liking
Speaker 10: an Instagram post critical Maguire's coaching methods.
Speaker 3: I think Madge would have been.
Speaker 6: Happy with two words that I don't hear much. Mad
Speaker 6: shouldn't happy.
Speaker 9: What a night what a poile over wuld be like
Speaker 9: a bit of a jackle on hunting.
Speaker 6: Really go to point underway here, Yeah, we showed.
Speaker 9: Such great stuff and then we sort of go the
Speaker 9: other way?
Speaker 5: Is he over conds?
Speaker 2: He has a nice You losing like that?
Speaker 7: Are they making me?
Speaker 1: They've lost six of their last seven.
Speaker 5: Now you can see the frustration. They don't work hard
Speaker 5: for each other at all.
Speaker 6: They look flat and uninterested at times.
Speaker 7: Oh well, they want to trick shop their way to victory.
Speaker 13: They don't want to do it with hard work.
Speaker 6: You hear the story is coming out.
Speaker 9: It's that Mad is training them too hard.
Speaker 6: That has to work that way at every single plot,
Speaker 6: doesn't it.
Speaker 2: We're the biggest club in the comps. If you're the
Speaker 2: biggest and the best, you need to tack like that.
Speaker 6: Brisbane's in all sorts and absolute all sorts.
Speaker 1: Yes, they come on to scrutiny like no other club,
Speaker 1: the Brisbane Broncos. And with four straight losses on the
Speaker 1: card too, the Paurners are on full blast at the
Speaker 1: moment as they struggle to find their way through an
Speaker 1: NRL season that showed so much promise pre season.
Speaker 5: That he's been good enough to join us tonight. The
Speaker 5: number seven the.
Speaker 1: General for this Brisbon Broncos side Adam Reynolds and are
Speaker 1: always great to catch up. You've seen it all in
Speaker 1: this game, and you're a competitor to say the least.
Speaker 1: Where the team sits right now, five wins, seven losses,
Speaker 1: How did it get to this point?
Speaker 5: Mate?
Speaker 17: It obviously started the year the way we'd liked, but
Speaker 17: obviously as of late things haven't been quite the way
Speaker 17: we want it. But I can tell you that we're
Speaker 17: a tight bunch of boys. We're working extremely hard to
Speaker 17: turn things around, and we're showing glimpses in matches at
Speaker 17: the moment, we're just not constantly doing it for eighty minutes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So obviously you.
Speaker 17: Get back to the drawing board and you know, I've
Speaker 17: got a good opportunity again this that they br I know.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of talk about the coach, Michael Maguire
Speaker 7: that is too tough and the players aren't quite liking
Speaker 7: his style of coaching.
Speaker 6: Can you knock that on the head right now?
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's easy for the outside noise to obviously try
Speaker 17: and tear the team apart and the coaching staff.
Speaker 2: Look, we're working hard.
Speaker 17: We're just like any other team who trained hard. Obviously,
Speaker 17: everyone can write what they want to write, but internally,
Speaker 17: you know, we know we're capable of doing some great
Speaker 17: things here and you know, matches the right man leading
Speaker 17: us forward.
Speaker 2: Now, the talent in your side is absolutely unquestionable. It's
Speaker 2: probably one of the best rosters in the competition. But
Speaker 2: you said to yourself, you played good for patches of matches.
Speaker 2: How do you do you make sure you play well
Speaker 2: for eighty minutes and you work hard for each other,
Speaker 2: which to me from an outside of looking in, seems
Speaker 2: individually you're doing your job, but you're not working together
Speaker 2: as a team.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think, and that's where the frustration comes. You know,
Speaker 17: we're good in patches, then we come up with you know,
Speaker 17: one or two bad mistakes, and I think internally we
Speaker 17: sort of turned to ourselves a little bit. Something we've
Speaker 17: spoken about. Obviously, errors and whatnot happened in games. It's
Speaker 17: just about getting on with it and you know, getting
Speaker 17: back into our groove and that's.
Speaker 6: An area that we spoke about.
Speaker 17: We need to be better and you know, I thought
Speaker 17: for large parts of the game on the weekend we
Speaker 17: were the better team. Obviously didn't get the points on
Speaker 17: the board, but you know a lot of positives to
Speaker 17: take out of that.
Speaker 5: Also, some things to work on Adam. I heard you
Speaker 5: say that after the game on against brook mainly a
Speaker 5: Brookvale the other night. You were actually interviewed after the
Speaker 5: game on the field, straight after the contest and said
Speaker 5: there were positives out of that part of the game,
Speaker 5: and there were parts of the game where you felt
Speaker 5: like you're on top, yet the scoreboard ran against you
Speaker 5: by a long way. What were those positives that you
Speaker 5: were feeling during the contest.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think the second half, you know, the start
Speaker 17: of that, we really wanted to get out there and
Speaker 17: make it an arm wrestle, kick the corners, just build pressure.
Speaker 17: I thought in the first half defensively were quite poor.
Speaker 17: You know, we won't move in the footy, or when
Speaker 17: we did we made some errors, so we probably went
Speaker 17: internally a bit again there.
Speaker 6: But in the second half.
Speaker 17: It was about a twenty minute arm wrestle or twenty
Speaker 17: minute period there where we thought we were right on top.
Speaker 17: Unfortunately we come up with an error and let all
Speaker 17: the pressure off. But you know, if we can stick
Speaker 17: in moments a lot longer like that, we know we
Speaker 17: can come out the other end.
Speaker 5: Do you think the major issues are in the physical
Speaker 5: parts of the game. On the mental part of the
Speaker 5: game because in a lot of the games that I've
Speaker 5: seen you play, they don't seem to handle setbacks well.
Speaker 5: When something goes against them, it usually costs them points.
Speaker 5: Does it feel like that when you're out there? Here
Speaker 5: we go again.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 17: I think mentally we need to be a lot more resilient.
Speaker 17: Like you said there, obviously the erarors an execution when
Speaker 17: they're not great. I think sometimes we can go internally
Speaker 17: and become individuals. That's not the way we want to be.
Speaker 17: We want to be united and do it together as
Speaker 17: a team. Everyone goes out there, you know, to play
Speaker 17: their best football. Unfortunately we do make errors and it's
Speaker 17: a part of the game and it's just about moving
Speaker 17: on and you know, getting back to the game plan
Speaker 17: as quick as possible.
Speaker 1: There's been speculation about your future. I believe you're a
Speaker 1: contract at the end of the year and now. A
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, when you first went to the Broncos,
Speaker 1: I was talking to you up in Brisbane and you
Speaker 1: said you were loving life up there. It was a
Speaker 1: big change, breath of fresh air from moving away from Sydney.
Speaker 1: In that conversation, I could never see you coming back
Speaker 1: to Sydney.
Speaker 5: To play NRL football. Is that still the case with you.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's obviously been dealt with in the background the family,
Speaker 17: we all love it up here. It's such a great place.
Speaker 17: Everyone's pretty mard and a bit different to Sydney, but yeah,
Speaker 17: we're loving our time up here. Obviously, it's not my
Speaker 17: focus at the moment. It's trying to get a win
Speaker 17: for the Broncos and you know, quiet in this noise
Speaker 17: a little bit and then obviously that will handle itself.
Speaker 9: In the background.
Speaker 2: Your highest partner, Ezra Man has come back into the
Speaker 2: side after you have some offfield issues. How's he going,
Speaker 2: how's he handling the pressure, particularly face the other night.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm really proud of Oz. I think you know,
Speaker 17: the way he's handled himself. He's he's copped a lot
Speaker 17: of criticism and you know, rightfully so he made a
Speaker 17: mistake as a young man. He's he's worked extremely hard
Speaker 17: on himself to get himself back to where he is
Speaker 17: and he's done a lot of you know, work in
Speaker 17: the background that not a lot of people see. And
Speaker 17: obviously he's copping the brunt of it, you know from
Speaker 17: away fans and whatnot, which you know, everyone's entitled to
Speaker 17: their opinions, but you know, I thought he's handled himself excellently.
Speaker 17: He's come back and he's probably been, you know, our
Speaker 17: best player out of those two games. So it's good
Speaker 17: to have a little follow back in the team. And
Speaker 17: you know, I'm sure we'll know click again and get
Speaker 17: the ball on.
Speaker 1: Other than sorting out your next year at the club,
Speaker 1: priority number one does have to be securing Painhass's services.
Speaker 1: And are you worried that this lean patch could get
Speaker 1: him to start eyeing off other suitors.
Speaker 6: I look, Pain is a big part of our team.
Speaker 7: He's a big part of the club and has been
Speaker 7: his whole life, So no doubt he's a major priority
Speaker 7: for the club to get locked up. But I think
Speaker 7: with losing games and whatnot, you know, the outside noise
Speaker 7: can you know, create whatever headlines they want to create.
Speaker 7: But once again, internally, we're pretty confident that Pain will
Speaker 7: be a Bronco. No, huge congratulations from everyone here. Three
Speaker 7: hundred games this weekend. Firstly, huge milestone. What does that
Speaker 7: mean to you and the family. And you've got a
Speaker 7: couple of highlights from those three hundred.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's obviously a privilege to play one game in
Speaker 17: the NRL. Let alone, three hundred, It's certainly a milestone
Speaker 17: that I never thought i'd reach.
Speaker 13: I would have been happy with one.
Speaker 17: First grade game kid from Red Fern who just loves
Speaker 17: the game continually, you know, striving to get better each.
Speaker 13: And every day.
Speaker 17: And I got a lot of people to think over
Speaker 17: my time, you know, friends, family, coaches. I think my
Speaker 17: wife deserves a lot of the credit. She's been the
Speaker 17: backbone to everything I've done. You know, they ride the
Speaker 17: roller coaster as much as the players do.
Speaker 6: So yeah, big thank you guys to her.
Speaker 17: But I think you know, your debut when in a
Speaker 17: Grand Final and playing for your state, you know, those
Speaker 17: will be the highlights of the crew and.
Speaker 2: Great to see those.
Speaker 1: Black jersey's been rolled out in support of the Black
Speaker 1: Dog Institute and mental health awareness for that big milestone.
Speaker 1: Game mate, Congratulations on the big three hundred this Saturday
Speaker 1: against the Gold Coast at sun Corpse Stadium. Another three
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty, mate, You'll still be second. Thank you
Speaker 1: to good hon you mate. Congratulations Adam Reynolds. In the
Speaker 1: face of adversity at the moment with the Brisbane Broncos
Speaker 1: joining us, A Cameron off the back of that. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of that scuttle rounding perhaps the future
Speaker 1: of pain, whether or not that's Perth or somewhere else,
Speaker 1: and he might go. The talk is that Melviniger is
Speaker 1: going to be announcestairs the Perth Bears coach as soon
Speaker 1: as this week. That leaves a vacancy for the Kangaroo's
Speaker 1: coaching job. Upsets Kevin Smith, one of the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time.
Speaker 9: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 6: No one, no one. No one's asked me, no one,
Speaker 6: no one's approached me brace I'll say that much. No
Speaker 6: one's spoken to me about it.
Speaker 7: I have seen a few articles out there and my
Speaker 7: name tossed up there.
Speaker 6: But which is pretty good up for it? There's some
Speaker 6: pretty good candidates out there. Freddy's wanting to be fair.
Speaker 2: To be fair, you are one of the greats, You're modest,
Speaker 2: But would you be handed for it?
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people have asked me, you know,
Speaker 7: at the back end of my career, when I when
Speaker 7: I was recently retired.
Speaker 6: Would you have a coach? I emphatically said no.
Speaker 7: But if there was one team out there that it
Speaker 7: would gain my interest to coach, it would be the Kangaroos. Absolutely,
Speaker 7: you're dealing with the best of the best as far
Speaker 7: as the calendar is concerned. When those commitments occurres at
Speaker 7: the end of the year, so that works in with
Speaker 7: my commitments with commentary. But yeah, there's been no sort
Speaker 7: of discussion at all with anyone.
Speaker 5: I think you'd be sort of perfect because you've been
Speaker 5: on tours. You know what tours should look like, you
Speaker 5: know what short term preparations look like, you know what
Speaker 5: postseason test matches look like and how challenging they could be.
Speaker 5: So I think someone who had the experience, and I
Speaker 5: think because we're Mal's been so good for Australia because
Speaker 5: he's been through that himself. It's it's not an easy
Speaker 5: level to coach, but it's best if you've had some experience.
Speaker 5: You've had more experience than anyone. How many tests did
Speaker 5: you play? Forty fifty fifty six, fifty six. That's a career,
Speaker 5: isn't it. That's what That's what I do.
Speaker 1: It's got the CV if anyone does, coy surely it's
Speaker 1: just a offering.
Speaker 5: I like how we knew the number.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: We'll watch with interest to see how that all unfolds.
Speaker 1: You're about to feature in our next segment to our
Speaker 1: Cash Converters Conversion of the Week, because obviously, how can
Speaker 1: you go past the one the only from the weekend,
Speaker 1: Zach Lomax, Because look, it's always a battle when you've
Speaker 1: got a slippery pitch and you're on the sideline. We've
Speaker 1: seen it many times before.
Speaker 2: But the best thing about this is hits the deck
Speaker 2: a lot and you're when you're hot, you're hot. And
Speaker 2: she missed his gone Wednesday, didn't he? He made up
Speaker 2: for it there, But that.
Speaker 1: Just reminds us of some of the great margets in
Speaker 1: the past.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I only did that because I had about three hundred
Speaker 7: roosters fans is absolutely giving it to me.
Speaker 5: Probably forty in front too.
Speaker 6: So we were a couple.
Speaker 9: Should we go there?
Speaker 13: Should we go there?
Speaker 1: With another kangaroos legend?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 1: Lucky Lucky missed it.
Speaker 6: That's a commaker, isn't.
Speaker 1: William was always going to We could all see it coming.
Speaker 1: It's so slippery and the nice nuchinos doing.
Speaker 6: The tanchinosh.
Speaker 2: Oh go, good brilliant stuff.
Speaker 1: There you go, Cash convert this conversion of the Week,
Speaker 1: and you've got to feature Cameron stay with us. We're
Speaker 1: back with our tap top three right after this break.
Speaker 1: You're watching a hundred percents.
Speaker 18: Welcome back to one hundred and seven Footy our tab
Speaker 18: top three.
Speaker 1: We're going for our leading try scorers of all time.
Speaker 2: You know why the.
Speaker 1: First You've got to go back into history the great Delly.
Speaker 5: Slater and Bill.
Speaker 1: Seriously, he's arguably, if not the greatest fullback of all time.
Speaker 6: And Gay got to play.
Speaker 2: With him against him, he was a genius. Chemistry is
Speaker 2: the best. I played with her against, but he was
Speaker 2: the best fullback. He was unbelievable. Played Minicelli, he was outstanding,
Speaker 2: But this guy was unbelievable. I've never seen anybody prepare
Speaker 2: for a game better than what this guy did. He
Speaker 2: knew everything about every play in the opposition. There was
Speaker 2: an absolute super staying. Remember, he missed at least I
Speaker 2: reckon thirty maybe forty games a footy ever a couple
Speaker 2: of year period with those shoulder issues. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be honest. I think if he played every game he
Speaker 2: could have, he breaks the record easily, but unfortunately, injuries
Speaker 2: are part of life and never but he was an
Speaker 2: absolute superstar. Billis later pleasure to play with and now
Speaker 2: works obviously, but he's a great guy.
Speaker 1: Well, it's all about our leading try scorers of all
Speaker 1: time because of what unfolded out of the weekend. Alex
Speaker 1: Johnston out there for the South Sidney Rabbit Oz reaching
Speaker 1: that two hundred milestone. Gus with a hat trick in
Speaker 1: this clash.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, if you play on the end of this
Speaker 5: South Sydney back line, you're going to score plenty of tries.
Speaker 5: Alex Johnson coming through was actually a standout fullback in
Speaker 5: the junior Repsom School program. He was probably the best
Speaker 5: fullback of his age group. Got his start on the
Speaker 5: wing because of South Sydney. I think he might have
Speaker 5: come into the time when Greg English was playing for them,
Speaker 5: and now he's got the t or Mitchell. He never
Speaker 5: really got the opportunity to cement down the fullback spot,
Speaker 5: and thankfully he didn't because now on the wing now
Speaker 5: he looks like setting the longest standing record ever in
Speaker 5: the game. Had he played every season, like you're saying
Speaker 5: with Billy Slater, he would have scored a lot more
Speaker 5: by now. But you's got to think too, like back
Speaker 5: in the old days, Kenathan didn't play as many games
Speaker 5: either like there was only so many games in a season.
Speaker 5: The other side of that is they didn't have a
Speaker 5: bunker back in the field.
Speaker 1: It would have just allowed a lot of He should
Speaker 1: have got as many as he did.
Speaker 5: Why the bunker would have taken him off him? The
Speaker 5: fun police would have got him. That two hundred and
Speaker 5: twelve would have been about eighty eight. You know, let's
Speaker 5: have they had a bunker back then.
Speaker 2: Of course the.
Speaker 1: One he imagine the bunker back then technology, but of
Speaker 1: course Ken Evine, the greatest of all time, the body
Speaker 1: in all Sydney Bears two hundred and.
Speaker 5: Twelve, bunker would have said, that was enough.
Speaker 2: You should have taken that one off the triscree.
Speaker 5: Not on the bunker would have said, yeah, great ball.
Speaker 5: I don't know how many bobbled in the end goal
Speaker 5: or you know, so how would that work with the
Speaker 5: film too? They got I think he was a Commonwealth
Speaker 5: games plants run. It wasn't. He was a sprinter. I
Speaker 5: think had a good.
Speaker 1: Head of hair.
Speaker 2: And two hundred how many games? Reckon they play a
Speaker 2: season back there more than twenty nah, so two hundred
Speaker 2: two tries. That's an amazing effort back.
Speaker 1: Then, far out there you go out tap top three
Speaker 1: greatest triscorers of all time. Well on, Alex Johnston, Kenny,
