I've heard 19 00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:04,850 S1: some great yarns about this, mate. 20 00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:06,850 S2: The first one that comes to mind for me was 21 00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:10,770 S2: the Newcastle Knights. Same milligram holes in the roof hose, 22 00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:13,089 S2: everything in the shed. So you'd walk in and they. 23 00:01:13,330 --> 00:01:15,289 S2: You'd walk in the shed and there was a room. 24 00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:17,330 S2: And then there was a strapping room, and then the 25 00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:20,209 S2: showers and everything was sort of over here. Yeah. And, 26 00:01:20,209 --> 00:01:22,610 S2: and you'd go and get strapped and then you'd have 27 00:01:22,610 --> 00:01:23,770 S2: to tippy toe back to. 28 00:01:23,770 --> 00:01:24,050 S1: Your. 29 00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:26,850 S2: Like, where you had your gear.

Really. So we knew that we 35 00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:42,250 S3: knew they were going to wet wet the ceiling. Like 36 00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:44,290 S3: water was dripping from the ceiling as you were getting 37 00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:47,810 S3: your massage. Yeah. Like and then Canberra was another one.

I don't know, 184 00:07:15,380 --> 00:07:18,780 S2: but all I can remember the window similar to sort 185 00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:22,500 S2: of like the windows were for the dressing room, were 186 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:24,540 S2: up high, and that was sort of where the fans 187 00:07:24,540 --> 00:07:27,860 S2: could walk behind the grandstand. Every one of the Kiwi 188 00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:32,740 S2: fans kicked the window in, landed on Mark Gasnier's head 189 00:07:32,780 --> 00:07:36,900 S2: smashed and head and what? Yeah. Fucking kicked it in 190 00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:39,500 S2: and it landed. We I think it was after the 191 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:42,620 S2: game and we'd just beaten him and someone kicked the 192 00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:44,860 S2: fucking window in and it landed on us. 193 00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:45,340 S4: Wow. 194 00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:49,300 S2: It was like a fucking full window. Yeah, yeah. Kicked 195 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:52,380 S2: it in and cutting and cutting. Cutting what? Jesus. I 196 00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:55,180 S2: think he had to have some stitches. Didn't. Wasn't bad cuts. Yeah, yeah. 197 00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:58,660 S2: But like superficial. But nothing. Stitches wound in the head. Well, 198 00:07:58,660 --> 00:08:00,620 S2: before you'd even run out. No. After the game. After 199 00:08:00,620 --> 00:08:02,860 S2: the game. After we beat him. Yeah. Eden Park. I'll 200 00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:06,060 S2: never forget it. Yeah. I just England, England was just. 201 00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:07,820 S2: When you look back on it now, you look back 202 00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:10,700 S2: on fondness because it's such a great part of your life. 203 00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:12,900 S2: But the dressing rooms are small. Oh, mate. Well, the 204 00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:14,740 S2: team I played for, Wigan, we had the you had 205 00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:17,460 S2: the big one. You had beautiful facilities. We had the grounds. Yeah. 206 00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,380 S2: Did you used to do anything to other teams coming 207 00:08:19,380 --> 00:08:21,220 S2: in though? Like, would you play with them a bit? 208 00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:23,420 S2: I wouldn't even think of doing anything like that to 209 00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:25,900 S2: the other teams sheds. No, that's a good ploy. But 210 00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:27,900 S2: I'll tell you the one I love, though I'm disappointed 211 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:30,900 S2: in myself. I know, I know, like I should have 212 00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:32,580 S2: done like you. I should have like a couple of. 213 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:37,700 S2: People doing the doing Edgar on the on the toilet 214 00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,380 S2: in there. Like the best one to go actually look 215 00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:43,540 S2: like someone did that. I know, I know, but you 216 00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:45,980 S2: cannot or you can't like I can I, I can't 217 00:08:45,980 --> 00:08:48,180 S2: believe that they've gone. Oh yeah. Yeah. But just because 218 00:08:48,179 --> 00:08:49,870 S2: they probably did their last training run, they weren't, away. 219 00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:51,390 S2: You know what? Let's give him a little. Hey, lads, 220 00:08:51,790 --> 00:08:54,589 S2: let's give him a little welcome party, huh? You can 221 00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:56,429 S2: imagine the whole team just laughing their head off at 222 00:08:56,429 --> 00:08:58,070 S2: the dude that's doing it as well. Because we laughed 223 00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:59,710 S2: in the end. We went all the way back in 224 00:08:59,710 --> 00:09:02,030 S2: the bus. We were going. How good was that? Like that? Yeah. 225 00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:04,790 S2: How many of the boys on tour left on other 226 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:06,750 S2: things now as well? I saw this over in England. 227 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:09,910 S2: This was a great idea. Um, I love also guys, 228 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:13,070 S2: Brookvale Oval. He's still got to run through that tunnel with. 229 00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:16,589 S2: And you got a little cage into the cage. The the. 230 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:18,910 S2: Oh yeah. The cage in the cage. But even their 231 00:09:18,910 --> 00:09:22,430 S2: sheds are shit. Yeah, they're still shit. Yeah they are. 232 00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:24,990 S2: They were shit like when I played, when I played 233 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:27,990 S2: like they were just that long corridor. That's what yours was. Yeah. 234 00:09:28,030 --> 00:09:31,910 S2: With all benches and showers were opposite. Yeah, that was it. 235 00:09:32,270 --> 00:09:33,590 S2: Because the first thing you do when you go to 236 00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:36,070 S2: an away game is check the showers to see if 237 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:38,469 S2: they got you after the game. You need a hot shower. Yeah, 238 00:09:38,510 --> 00:09:40,430 S2: that just gets all the shit away from you. And 239 00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:44,150 S2: and yeah, yeah, some have just got crap ones. Yeah. 240 00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:45,750 S2: I think Melbourne's Olympic Park would. 241 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:47,710 S5: Be terrible as well. On a cold. 242 00:09:47,710 --> 00:09:49,240 S2: Wet. Yeah, I can't remember. 243 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,560 S5: That would be terrible. Great story time, boys. We're going 244 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,080 S5: to take a break and come back with your listener questions. 245 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,760 S5: Don't you go anywhere. Righty o. Welcome back to Mark 246 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,640 S5: my words. First question here from Dom Boyce. If you're 247 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240 S5: in charge of the rule book for a day, which 248 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,120 S5: current rugby league rule would you completely scrap or change? 249 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,400 S2: Oh, Jesus. Um, it's got to be the obvious one, 250 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,040 S2: doesn't it? It's the six to go. I'll just refine it. 251 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120 S2: I just I just think at the moment actually no, 252 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,360 S2: because of late they've they've ruled it back in. So 253 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,199 S2: I've haven't really got much to complain about. 254 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,800 S5: I think the I think they've got the balance right 255 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,280 S5: at the moment. 256 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,800 S2: I think so too. I think the. 257 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,880 S6: Seven tackle sets. 258 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,160 S5: So. 259 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,880 S6: Yeah. Okay. So the seven tackle sets were brought in 260 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,640 S6: because everyone was kicking the ball dead to nullify fullbacks 261 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,800 S6: carrying the ball. They have changed. They've they've adjusted the 262 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,160 S6: rules this year with the seven tackle sets going back. Uh, 263 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,439 S6: they've changed that a little bit. But I still think 264 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,360 S6: that if you kick a ball in the end goal, 265 00:10:47,450 --> 00:10:49,850 S6: you shouldn't get penalized with a seven tackle set. You know, 266 00:10:49,890 --> 00:10:51,770 S6: if you're trying to put a nice grubber in or 267 00:10:51,770 --> 00:10:53,809 S6: anything like that, I don't think, and I don't think 268 00:10:53,809 --> 00:10:55,850 S6: you should get penalized with seven tackles. I just think 269 00:10:55,850 --> 00:10:57,809 S6: it should be if you're in your own half and 270 00:10:57,809 --> 00:11:00,530 S6: you kick the ball dead. Yep. It's a seven tackle set. 271 00:11:00,570 --> 00:11:03,250 S6: But if you're if you're attacking and you're kicking there, yeah, 272 00:11:03,290 --> 00:11:05,010 S6: you're attacking kicks. There shouldn't be a penalty. 273 00:11:05,050 --> 00:11:06,970 S2: Okay, I've got one too. I think that I think 274 00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:10,410 S2: with the obstruction when it's when we see obstruction, we 275 00:11:10,450 --> 00:11:12,850 S2: kind of as players we know it when they go, 276 00:11:12,890 --> 00:11:15,450 S2: oh he should have went to. But when when it's 277 00:11:15,490 --> 00:11:18,170 S2: if I'm making my if if I'm going through as 278 00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:21,050 S2: a decoy runner and it's right near the goalpost and 279 00:11:21,050 --> 00:11:25,130 S2: the try scored in the corner, and I had nothing 280 00:11:25,130 --> 00:11:26,450 S2: to do with it. And they still come back and 281 00:11:26,450 --> 00:11:28,210 S2: go by the letter of the law. I've stopped you 282 00:11:28,210 --> 00:11:30,130 S2: from getting there. Come on. Common sense is going to 283 00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:32,770 S2: prevail on the obstruction. Cause like, it's just gotta, it's 284 00:11:32,770 --> 00:11:33,329 S2: just gotta. 285 00:11:33,370 --> 00:11:35,930 S5: What about no consequences for the drop outs, boys? 286 00:11:36,490 --> 00:11:36,810 S6: I hate. 287 00:11:36,809 --> 00:11:40,010 S2: It. Yeah. That's that's a that's a bugbear. That's a bugbear. 288 00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:43,130 S2: It's it's kind of just like a it makes you look. 289 00:11:43,130 --> 00:11:46,620 S2: It makes our game looks sloppy. Yeah. You know, like 290 00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:48,339 S2: they kick it as far as they want into the 291 00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:50,780 S2: grandstand and nothing and no, no. 292 00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:51,980 S6: No, I just I play the ball. 293 00:11:52,020 --> 00:11:54,620 S5: Yeah. But Peggy, I'm with you. The seven tackle set, 294 00:11:54,620 --> 00:11:59,059 S5: when you're attacking you get done for. But yet they 295 00:11:59,059 --> 00:12:01,300 S5: can get tackled in their end goal. So they're actually 296 00:12:01,340 --> 00:12:03,420 S5: like it's a defensive play for them. But they're getting 297 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:05,700 S5: no consequences when they're trying to do an attacking kick. 298 00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:08,260 S5: I don't I don't see that one uh there as 299 00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:09,980 S5: well guys. Righty oh this is a good one as 300 00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:13,340 S5: well from Vinny who's currently the most underrated player in 301 00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:14,380 S5: the game right now. 302 00:12:14,420 --> 00:12:15,699 S6: Oh bloody hell. 303 00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:19,380 S2: Well I kind of I equate uh underrated with improved 304 00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:22,140 S2: as well. Uh, because I think that those, I think 305 00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:25,300 S2: the white from roosters is one of them. Oh yeah. 306 00:12:25,380 --> 00:12:29,140 S2: He's he's improved plus underrated. Yeah. And I think Nick 307 00:12:29,140 --> 00:12:32,380 S2: arena from the Dolphins is so improved. 308 00:12:32,780 --> 00:12:34,500 S6: Well I was about to say boss doc but he's 309 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:37,260 S6: playing for New South Wales now. Yeah but boss Doc's 310 00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:42,380 S6: Sam Walker. Sammy Walker yeah. But he's on the on the. Yeah. 311 00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:44,100 S6: Pinnacle now isn't he. He's at the pinnacle. 312 00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:46,980 S5: What do you guys think of Jesse Calhoun from the sharks? Right? 313 00:12:47,020 --> 00:12:48,300 S5: I think he's an enormous player. 314 00:12:48,340 --> 00:12:50,660 S6: I'll tell you a story about Jesse Calhoun. His dad's 315 00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:52,900 S6: a primary school principal that I had a little bit 316 00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:55,860 S6: to do with a few years ago. Down our way down. But, um, 317 00:12:56,380 --> 00:13:00,420 S6: I was coaching Fitz's son, Eamon, who's a great young 318 00:13:00,460 --> 00:13:02,700 S6: footy player. I think he's at the Bulldogs now. Eamon. 319 00:13:02,860 --> 00:13:05,300 S6: And um, I was talking to Fitzy after a trial 320 00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:07,420 S6: and I said to him it was it was preseason 321 00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:11,020 S6: probably two years ago I reckon. And um I said 322 00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:13,060 S6: to him oh you know has anyone stood out for you. 323 00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:15,579 S6: He goes, mate, you should see this kid, Jesse Calhoun. 324 00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:15,980 S2: Okay. 325 00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:18,300 S6: He goes and he goes and he goes, you should 326 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:20,179 S6: keep an eye on him. I'm like, oh, wow. I said, oh, 327 00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:22,700 S6: who's he? Like? He goes, oh, like Dale Finucane style. 328 00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:24,060 S6: Very true. And then. 329 00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:24,420 S2: He is. 330 00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:27,260 S6: Unfortunately for him, I think he's got his injury after injury. 331 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:27,660 S2: He did. 332 00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:29,500 S6: Yeah. For two years and I never got to see him. 333 00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,700 S6: And then now finally he's just coming back into the 334 00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:33,620 S6: scene and I'm like oh, this is what he was 335 00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:34,060 S6: talking about. 336 00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:34,579 S2: Great player. 337 00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:34,940 S6: Yeah. 338 00:13:35,179 --> 00:13:37,740 S5: He runs a great line doesn't he?

Uh, 367 00:14:33,710 --> 00:14:35,190 S2: try at the at the end. 368 00:14:35,230 --> 00:14:36,470 S6: I was on the sideline and I. 369 00:14:36,630 --> 00:14:39,030 S2: I come I remember they remember they ran out from the. 370 00:14:39,310 --> 00:14:41,310 S6: Yeah. From the where the walk is and that. 371 00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:45,200 S2: And it was um, uh, it was, uh, NSA man 372 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,040 S2: from Metallica. I went. 373 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,080 S6: By captain and then, yeah. 374 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,720 S2: It was just. I got goosebumps thinking about it. Yeah. Mitch. 375 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,200 S2: Mitch Pearce, much maligned through the Passover. 376 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,320 S6: That's right. They shifted it. 377 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:55,920 S2: Virgo. 378 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,600 S5: Virgo. 379 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,880 S2: Back into Teddy. Right. 380 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,480 S5: Virgo. Through the worst pass back into Tedesco. But he 381 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,240 S5: seemed to hold it. 382 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,160 S2: And of course the other one is uh. That's what 383 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,240 S2: I try. That's a miracle from Queensland. That's that that 384 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560 S2: that that was like 13 sets of hands. 385 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,520 S5: What a try. 386 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720 S2: Them two I think are the best moments that I've seen. 387 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,240 S6: Yeah I loved milligrams fight. So did I. No one 388 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,200 S6: can go past m g I'm g. 389 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,560 S5: Question. Yes, I should have probably done my research before 390 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,800 S5: we did it. Your fight game was one of the 391 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,600 S5: first memories of Origin of Me was Michael O'Connor kicking the. Yeah. 392 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,040 S5: Was that the same game. 393 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,000 S6: Goal from the touchline? 394 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,360 S2: Yeah. 395 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:28,640 S5: Yeah. 396 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,600 S2: Same game with a leather ball in torrential rain. And 397 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,920 S2: I reckon the probability would have been around 15% 12, 12%. 398 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,880 S2: Um it was 12 all when he kicked that and 399 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,280 S2: he made it 14, 12 and I remember sitting in 400 00:15:41,330 --> 00:15:43,730 S2: the dressing room after the game and I thought I 401 00:15:43,730 --> 00:15:45,730 S2: played pretty well, and I'm there with my dad, and 402 00:15:45,730 --> 00:15:49,210 S2: all these camera crew were coming towards me about, I reckon, 403 00:15:49,250 --> 00:15:53,010 S2: 30 like reporters and camera crew, and they've come straight 404 00:15:53,010 --> 00:15:54,290 S2: towards me. And I went, I said to my dad, 405 00:15:54,290 --> 00:15:55,650 S2: I said, I think I've got man of the match. 406 00:15:56,210 --> 00:15:59,890 S2: He goes, I don't think so. Yeah. Fucking boom. Bill woods, 407 00:15:59,890 --> 00:16:01,970 S2: who was working here today, and he goes, how do 408 00:16:01,970 --> 00:16:05,730 S2: you feel to be signed on six different occasions? I said. 409 00:16:08,570 --> 00:16:09,170 S5: But what a game. 410 00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:11,250 S6: What? They did it straight after the game. You got 411 00:16:11,250 --> 00:16:15,410 S6: sided straight away and done hurriedly convened. Um like a meeting. 412 00:16:15,970 --> 00:16:16,530 S2: The next day. 413 00:16:16,690 --> 00:16:18,730 S5: Oh mate, they would have been onto him straight like, 414 00:16:18,930 --> 00:16:20,130 S5: have you seen the carnage that. 415 00:16:20,490 --> 00:16:23,450 S2: They wanted to put me in jail? Queenslanders, they said 416 00:16:23,450 --> 00:16:24,810 S2: you should be in jail. That prick. 417 00:16:24,810 --> 00:16:27,370 S5: Or I should get off. Absolutely. 418 00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:29,170 S2: But I had a green light. 419 00:16:29,210 --> 00:16:31,530 S5: The piggy. What a game that you're bringing up the 420 00:16:31,530 --> 00:16:33,770 S5: fight and I'm bringing up the. The good thing that 421 00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:37,050 S5: happened at the end, it's. It's my first ever memory. 422 00:16:37,810 --> 00:16:39,890 S2: I used to hate playing in rain like. And the 423 00:16:39,930 --> 00:16:41,050 S2: jerseys back then were down here. 424 00:16:41,090 --> 00:16:41,530 S5: Yeah. 425 00:16:41,570 --> 00:16:43,090 S2: Heavy. And so as soon as it rained, you feel 426 00:16:43,090 --> 00:16:45,810 S2: like you had like someone piggybacking you and then the 427 00:16:45,810 --> 00:16:48,330 S2: water on the ground. And yeah, but when I got 428 00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:53,010 S2: the green light from the selectors, I didn't. It's amazing 429 00:16:53,010 --> 00:16:55,010 S2: when you go into a game without any worries. Yeah. 430 00:16:55,050 --> 00:16:56,610 S2: And that's how I ended that game in 91. I 431 00:16:56,610 --> 00:17:00,250 S2: didn't have any worries about um fitness or, or going 432 00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:03,010 S2: in a little bit over aggressive or overzealous because I 433 00:17:03,010 --> 00:17:04,370 S2: knew I had the backing of the New South Wales 434 00:17:04,369 --> 00:17:06,209 S2: selectors to do what I wanted to do. Yeah. And 435 00:17:06,210 --> 00:17:07,490 S2: as soon as I done it, I got six week 436 00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:10,850 S2: suspension and never played again. 437 00:17:10,890 --> 00:17:13,090 S6: Oh bullshit. Oh my God. 438 00:17:13,810 --> 00:17:17,609 S5: Never played again. No. Surprised you played NRL again after that. 439 00:17:17,650 --> 00:17:19,090 S5: Oh yeah mate. 440 00:17:19,130 --> 00:17:21,129 S2: I, um I settled down a lot after that. 441 00:17:21,530 --> 00:17:23,730 S5: It was so good. Who ran it up at half time. 442 00:17:23,730 --> 00:17:25,130 S5: Who was the, uh. I was. 443 00:17:25,170 --> 00:17:25,969 S2: Steve Walters. 444 00:17:26,290 --> 00:17:27,330 S5: Steve Walters. That's right. 445 00:17:27,369 --> 00:17:29,490 S2: Yeah. Did a voluntary tackle. Yeah. Yeah. 446 00:17:30,290 --> 00:17:33,730 S6: And then you went again. Rabbit, rabbit chop on the head. 447 00:17:34,369 --> 00:17:34,970 S2: As you do. 448 00:17:35,490 --> 00:17:38,980 S6: As you. Who was the referee. Manson. Yes. David Manson. Yeah, 449 00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:40,340 S6: because he got up in between. 450 00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:42,060 S2: He goes, Betty. Betty. 451 00:17:42,180 --> 00:17:42,500 S6: Yeah. 452 00:17:42,660 --> 00:17:47,100 S2: Say a word. Get him. He's got what? What? Benny! 453 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:48,820 S2: Set him down or he's going to set off and 454 00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:51,459 S2: Benny goes m g. Settle down! Fucking hit him! Yeah. 455 00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:54,340 S6: That was the one as well when that fight broke out. 456 00:17:54,980 --> 00:17:56,980 S6: They didn't have anything to do with each other. But Benny, 457 00:17:56,980 --> 00:17:59,100 S6: Elias and Walters ended up just punching. 458 00:17:59,140 --> 00:18:02,540 S2: And Ricky Stuart punching into Gary Cohn, his team mate. 459 00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:03,900 S6: It was two. 460 00:18:04,060 --> 00:18:05,540 S2: Ian Robertson's going ballistic. 461 00:18:05,580 --> 00:18:05,939 S6: Oh. 462 00:18:06,260 --> 00:18:06,620 S2: Oh wow. 463 00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:10,619 S6: I saw some highlights of Ian Robertson. He's he's hits 464 00:18:10,619 --> 00:18:11,340 S6: back in the day. 465 00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:12,300 S2: He was a machine. 466 00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:14,500 S6: He's sickening the way that he he had some. 467 00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,379 S2: Weird cement in there in the second row. 468 00:18:16,740 --> 00:18:18,859 S6: That was a good one there. Thanks for that one, Hank. Uh, 469 00:18:18,859 --> 00:18:21,619 S6: from John. Should the game bring back a five minute 470 00:18:21,619 --> 00:18:24,260 S6: sin bin for minor professional fouls, or does the ten 471 00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:26,580 S6: minute bin serve its purpose, boys? 472 00:18:26,859 --> 00:18:29,300 S2: I love the five minute bin for the little things. 473 00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:29,860 S2: I'd love to. 474 00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,899 S6: I'd love to. Especially now. Okay, here's one for you. 475 00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:35,220 S6: Start of the year, I said. We're $1 billion game. 476 00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:37,379 S6: When we start bringing in rule changes, we need to 477 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:40,669 S6: put them in another grade, another level, so they get 478 00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:41,510 S6: to see how they go. 479 00:18:41,550 --> 00:18:42,510 S2: I remember you saying it. 480 00:18:43,109 --> 00:18:45,390 S6: Why don't we? I don't understand why we don't do 481 00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:47,230 S6: I like the idea of the five minute. 482 00:18:47,230 --> 00:18:48,070 S2: But put it in. 483 00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:49,710 S6: Put it in New South Wales Cup. Yeah. Put it 484 00:18:49,710 --> 00:18:51,150 S6: in Queensland Cup. Yep. Watch it happen. 485 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:51,990 S2: For 12 months. 486 00:18:52,030 --> 00:18:55,710 S6: And just go. Okay. Yeah. It works well for these infringements. 487 00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:58,429 S6: Works great. You know only five minutes and then we 488 00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,070 S6: can go yeah, let's put it in our game. I 489 00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:01,950 S6: just see now, but I like it. I like it 490 00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:05,070 S6: with m g. I think it's the speed of the game. Yeah. 491 00:19:05,230 --> 00:19:07,470 S6: Five minutes. Now you can score two tries. 492 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:10,030 S2: Well well ten minutes you can. Well ten minutes seems 493 00:19:10,030 --> 00:19:12,830 S2: too harsh for for a minor incident. Yeah. Ten minutes 494 00:19:13,109 --> 00:19:16,150 S2: then it's. But then it's an interpretation. What's a minor incident. Yeah. 495 00:19:16,190 --> 00:19:17,830 S2: Then then that's where you get the argue. You go 496 00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:21,430 S2: well that's you know, but I definitely think for um 497 00:19:21,470 --> 00:19:24,070 S2: professional fouls. Yeah. Five minutes. 498 00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:24,830 S6: Yeah. 499 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:26,070 S2: For to start with. Yeah. 500 00:19:26,109 --> 00:19:28,030 S6: And ten minutes would be for like hitting someone in 501 00:19:28,030 --> 00:19:30,030 S6: the head. I don't know, I don't know. It would 502 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:31,870 S6: be something up for discussion. Like do you get rid 503 00:19:31,910 --> 00:19:33,910 S6: of the ten minute because the game is so quick 504 00:19:33,950 --> 00:19:34,550 S6: and just say, hey. 505 00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:35,070 S2: Well there we. 506 00:19:35,070 --> 00:19:35,350 S6: Go. 507 00:19:35,670 --> 00:19:36,960 S2: See, Mark my words. 508 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,000 S6: Five minutes is a long time, isn't it? 509 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,840 S2: That's three sets. So you're defending three sets? Yeah, maybe. 510 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,960 S6: Yeah. Which. 511 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,879 S2: What about the trend lately of teams? Who gets, uh, 512 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,359 S2: someone who could soon be. They take two points. I 513 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,560 S2: don't understand that. When you've got. You're on the line. 514 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,480 S2: Happened twice on the weekend. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Someone 515 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,639 S2: gets in and straight away you get you're taking a 516 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,320 S2: shot at goal when you're right on the line. 517 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,240 S6: It's amazing. 518 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:00,800 S2: The modern. 519 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,720 S6: Day. It's amazing how many teams are down one as well. 520 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,080 S6: And then they score. I find that that. 521 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,760 S2: Was at Penrith. Happened with Penrith. Did they? 522 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,560 S6: Yeah. It's like they get a bit complacent having 13 523 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,080 S6: on the on the. That's the ultimate sin isn't it. 524 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,440 S6: To concede a try when you've got 13 there. 525 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,719 S2: Okay there we go. What's the the ultimate sin in 526 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,040 S2: rugby league. There's two of them kicking dead off the 527 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,480 S2: kick off putting the dead. 528 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:21,920 S6: Oh yeah. 529 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,640 S2: You just. Oh. Not finding touch. 530 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,040 S6: Oh. 531 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,360 S2: Oh. What about that. 532 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,399 S6: Oh and your kicker does that and you just you're going. 533 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,410 S2: It's alright do you fuckwit. That's the other one. No, 534 00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:37,690 S2: you go off and give him a pat. Yeah. You're right. 535 00:20:37,850 --> 00:20:40,690 S2: Kick your fucking ass off this game. My worst one. 536 00:20:40,690 --> 00:20:42,570 S2: I've said this a hundred times and I'll say it 537 00:20:42,570 --> 00:20:45,730 S2: a hundred more. Wingers go in for Carey. They drop 538 00:20:45,730 --> 00:20:47,850 S2: the ball, the ball and then they'll run out of it. 539 00:20:47,850 --> 00:20:51,730 S2: Going just one step. One step, one fucking. It's fucking 540 00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:53,490 S2: all right for you. You're on the wing. You don't 541 00:20:53,490 --> 00:20:56,450 S2: have to fucking tackle. I can tackle in there. Oh. 542 00:20:56,490 --> 00:21:02,770 S2: These days. Okay. Yeah. Challenge it. No! Don't you fucking dare! 543 00:21:03,770 --> 00:21:10,129 S2: Get on your wing! Challenges. That's true. As soon as 544 00:21:10,130 --> 00:21:12,729 S2: you see a winger challenge, know it's all over. Know 545 00:21:12,770 --> 00:21:15,209 S2: that challenge is. Don't be a bastard. Oh, that's the 546 00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:17,969 S2: best one coming through. Come in for a hard carry 547 00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:20,490 S2: and drop it. Yeah. And then challenge it and then 548 00:21:20,490 --> 00:21:23,369 S2: say to everyone. Yeah. Only one. Yeah. You're on your 549 00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:26,609 S2: fucking wing. I hate tackle, I hate it. I've got 550 00:21:26,609 --> 00:21:28,530 S2: to make them all in here. I'm with you as well. 551 00:21:28,570 --> 00:21:31,330 S2: Hate the pat on the back. Yeah. I prefer someone 552 00:21:31,330 --> 00:21:35,490 S2: just to absolutely give it some. Yeah Yeah, that's the worst. 553 00:21:35,490 --> 00:21:38,410 S2: Great question there. One from Sally here. Which current NRL 554 00:21:38,450 --> 00:21:41,369 S2: club is sitting on the Premiership window that is rapidly 555 00:21:41,369 --> 00:21:44,609 S2: slamming shut. Oh it's the sharks. It's got to be 556 00:21:44,650 --> 00:21:49,010 S2: doesn't it. Oh well he's Penrith's. Oh did you hear about. 557 00:21:49,650 --> 00:21:53,490 S2: Yeah I was, I was I was dumbfounded but I 558 00:21:53,530 --> 00:21:57,250 S2: also agree with it because what do you think Liam Henry. 559 00:21:57,530 --> 00:22:00,090 S2: They've got who've I got. Lindsay Smith. Okay. They've got. 560 00:22:00,410 --> 00:22:03,609 S2: So these are the names of in 27 they've got Cleary, 561 00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:10,129 S2: Joe Liotta, Martin blades. Taulagi, uh, Brian Tore Papalii, Mitch Kenny, 562 00:22:10,170 --> 00:22:14,810 S2: Alan Modi and Billy Scott. John Finau, Tom ehl. So 563 00:22:14,810 --> 00:22:18,570 S2: you've got to say the Cleary, Joe Martin and Kenny 564 00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:22,609 S2: are priorities. Mhm. And unfortunately for some reason, like he's 565 00:22:22,609 --> 00:22:25,970 S2: played he's played he's played 11 seasons. Moses saying to him, mate, 566 00:22:25,970 --> 00:22:27,690 S2: thank you for your service. Go and get a bit 567 00:22:27,690 --> 00:22:30,010 S2: of a payday to finish your career. That's what Matt 568 00:22:30,010 --> 00:22:31,930 S2: Kim will be saying to him. And, and we've got 569 00:22:31,930 --> 00:22:36,379 S2: Lindsay Smith. we've got Liam Henry. Did you say Liam? Liam. 570 00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:39,500 S2: Henry's going to Perth. Oh, he's gone, is he? Right. 571 00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:41,900 S2: So they're going to be a little bit light up front. Yeah. 572 00:22:41,940 --> 00:22:44,260 S2: They'll find someone though, mate. Yeah I know. They always 573 00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:47,820 S2: find something. But then the New South Wales premierships. But 574 00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:50,340 S2: I tend to agree. I think I think what how 575 00:22:50,340 --> 00:22:51,980 S2: can you say a club has won four out of 576 00:22:51,980 --> 00:22:55,220 S2: six they've been in or the last six years that 577 00:22:55,220 --> 00:22:58,540 S2: their window is closing. But I suppose in actual. When 578 00:22:58,780 --> 00:23:00,780 S2: Ivan announced that he was leaving, that was when the 579 00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:03,660 S2: window started to close. Yeah, that's a fair point too. Yeah. 580 00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:04,220 S2: Do you guys. 581 00:23:04,220 --> 00:23:07,260 S7: Think that, uh, Cleary will stay at Penrith? Who knows? 582 00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:08,700 S2: Yeah, I honestly don't know. 583 00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:11,260 S7: Don't worry about Leo. You've got guys that are coming 584 00:23:11,260 --> 00:23:13,139 S7: off contract that are a lot like you know they've 585 00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:14,020 S7: got that's probably. 586 00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:15,379 S2: Why they're doing what they're doing because. 587 00:23:15,380 --> 00:23:16,780 S7: They understand the situation. 588 00:23:16,780 --> 00:23:17,300 S2: They're in. 589 00:23:18,220 --> 00:23:19,859 S7: I just have a feeling Cleary is going to look 590 00:23:19,859 --> 00:23:21,900 S7: for another challenge or something. I don't know. But just. 591 00:23:21,940 --> 00:23:22,540 S2: Where. 592 00:23:23,060 --> 00:23:23,340 S7: Where. 593 00:23:23,619 --> 00:23:25,500 S2: I can't imagine, I can't imagine him playing. 594 00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:25,900 S7: Now. 595 00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:28,820 S2: They're talking about an $18 million salary cap now. So 596 00:23:28,820 --> 00:23:30,860 S2: he's going to get they'll get paid well. He'll get 597 00:23:30,859 --> 00:23:32,830 S2: two mil to mil to mil. He'll get two mil. Well, 598 00:23:32,869 --> 00:23:35,230 S2: he's been offered two mil pounds to go to Warrington, 599 00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:40,189 S2: has he. Yeah. What. Yeah. He's like he's just he 600 00:23:40,190 --> 00:23:42,710 S2: he would he would he go. Well he'll play another 601 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:44,949 S2: three years if he if he's there. Yeah. That's what 602 00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:47,710 S2: I mean. He's misses two. £2 million. That's what. That's 603 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:52,190 S2: 4 million. Yeah. That's what he's. That's probably what he's 604 00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:54,149 S2: worth though to be honest. Well he's the best player 605 00:23:54,150 --> 00:23:55,790 S2: in the world in the Super League. He is. Yeah 606 00:23:55,790 --> 00:23:58,990 S2: yeah yeah. Warrington did that years ago with Joey. They did. Yeah. 607 00:23:59,030 --> 00:24:00,990 S2: And he went over. At the time it was like 608 00:24:01,030 --> 00:24:03,990 S2: uh for ten games, 120 grand or something like getting 609 00:24:04,030 --> 00:24:05,990 S2: 12 grand a game. Yeah. And we all went, what? 610 00:24:06,590 --> 00:24:08,470 S2: We're on two grand a game. Did you see. 611 00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:09,790 S8: His first match over there as well? 612 00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:10,310 S2: Oh, he was. 613 00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:11,510 S8: Just like, just. 614 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:12,670 S2: On fire. 615 00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:14,510 S8: Like nothing. I think he had. 616 00:24:15,230 --> 00:24:18,270 S2: Him and him and his best was kind of just, um, 617 00:24:18,910 --> 00:24:19,750 S2: so good to watch. 618 00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:21,510 S8: That's another one as well. Is there for the, uh, 619 00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:24,830 S8: 2005 origin when he got brought back, when. 620 00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:25,230 S2: He came back. 621 00:24:25,790 --> 00:24:26,510 S8: Like the club. 622 00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:27,109 S2: Masterclass. 623 00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:27,430 S8: It was. 624 00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:28,150 S2: Just yeah. 625 00:24:28,550 --> 00:24:30,480 S8: Yeah. Even in Newcastle we used to go because I 626 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,240 S8: lived on the Central Coast. Uh, where you went and 627 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,000 S8: finished your career? 628 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,520 S2: Yeah. Yeah. 629 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,040 S8: And we used to, uh, we used to travel to 630 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,200 S8: Newcastle just to watch the Johns Brothers, of course. Marathon stadium. 631 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,000 S8: It was just. 632 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,120 S2: That team in mid 90s was like we went there 633 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,520 S2: as the Western Reds. And it was just I because 634 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,920 S2: I've been there in the late 80s and I hadn't 635 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,160 S2: been back there for a few years. And I went, wow, 636 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,960 S2: look at this place. It's just the marathon stadium packed 637 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,360 S2: to the rafters and, and a really good rugby league 638 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:56,960 S2: team in their hands. 639 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,640 S8: So much fun. Yeah. Uh, last one, guys from Luke. 640 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,360 S8: If you had to assemble a four by 100 meter 641 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,320 S8: relay team using the absolute fastest players in rugby league history, 642 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,719 S8: who makes your four man squad? What a great question. 643 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:16,240 S8: Let's build it together. Okay. I'm going to nominate one. Yep. Saab. Yep. Jason. 644 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,040 S8: He's got to be in it by 100. 645 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,920 S2: Okay. In history. 646 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,600 S8: In history. 647 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,440 S2: Martin Offiah. 648 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,760 S8: Yeah well he was going to be one of my 649 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:27,639 S8: next ones, I reckon. Go for it. Uh, Darren. Albert. Shane. Wherrett. 650 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,240 S2: What about Darren. 651 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,690 S8: Clarke? Where it was so quick you didn't didn't shine 652 00:25:31,690 --> 00:25:32,810 S8: where it beat Martin Offiah. 653 00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:33,810 S2: What about Ryan? 654 00:25:34,130 --> 00:25:36,449 S8: Ryan? Oh, that was him. Sorry. Ryan beat him in 655 00:25:36,490 --> 00:25:37,170 S8: that sprint. Brett. 656 00:25:37,170 --> 00:25:38,210 S2: Dallas. Wow. 657 00:25:39,210 --> 00:25:40,770 S8: Yeah, they're my 4 or 5. 658 00:25:41,130 --> 00:25:45,889 S2: So you'd have a fire up where it. 659 00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:46,810 S8: Saab. 660 00:25:46,850 --> 00:25:49,970 S2: Saab. And he represents modern day yeah. 661 00:25:50,010 --> 00:25:51,169 S8: Darren. Darren Clarke. 662 00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:53,370 S2: Darren Clarke. Well yeah he probably played 2 or 3. 663 00:25:53,410 --> 00:25:55,090 S8: I know but he wasn't was he 100 or. I 664 00:25:55,090 --> 00:25:56,010 S8: thought he was longer than. 665 00:25:56,369 --> 00:25:59,010 S2: 400 I think Tigers. Yeah. So. 666 00:25:59,050 --> 00:25:59,689 S8: Darren Clarke. 667 00:25:59,730 --> 00:26:00,210 S2: Yeah. 668 00:26:00,570 --> 00:26:05,050 S8: Mate. I go past Saab. Did we say where it 669 00:26:05,090 --> 00:26:05,730 S8: where it. 670 00:26:05,850 --> 00:26:07,369 S2: Odin. Ryan and a fire. 671 00:26:07,570 --> 00:26:08,650 S8: Fire. Yeah that's a fair. 672 00:26:08,690 --> 00:26:11,129 S2: Because remember Paris Stadium that time they had a race. Yeah. 673 00:26:11,210 --> 00:26:15,129 S2: And Ryan beat him. Beat him. Mhm, mhm. So there you. 674 00:26:15,130 --> 00:26:17,290 S8: Go. Any other. Is there anyone else? I'm trying. Well, 675 00:26:17,290 --> 00:26:19,290 S8: the only reason I say Darren Albert is remember when 676 00:26:19,290 --> 00:26:21,530 S8: he chased down Matty Sears? Yeah. Well. 677 00:26:22,090 --> 00:26:23,210 S2: But the fox on his day. 678 00:26:23,290 --> 00:26:23,889 S8: Yeah. The fox. 679 00:26:24,170 --> 00:26:26,890 S2: The fox when he was at his best. Just brutal. 680 00:26:27,090 --> 00:26:27,970 S2: Like Look, I'm. 681 00:26:27,970 --> 00:26:30,050 S8: Just trying to think, who are some of the other. 682 00:26:30,090 --> 00:26:32,490 S8: I reckon I reckon we've pretty much nailed it. 683 00:26:33,050 --> 00:26:35,530 S2: Mullins was always fast. Brett Dallas was fast. 684 00:26:35,570 --> 00:26:37,290 S8: Yeah, Dallas was lightning, wasn't he? 685 00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:39,929 S2: Dallas was like, uh. But I think when you're talking 686 00:26:39,930 --> 00:26:40,930 S2: high speed and. 687 00:26:40,970 --> 00:26:43,370 S8: Four by 100 meter relay.
