1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680 S1: It's unprecedented what we've seen of late with Adam, do 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,960 S1: you think? Look, I had a blow up with Gus Gould. 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,080 S1: I walked out of training once, but then I played 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,119 S1: that weekend because I thought I can't let my teammates down. 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,200 S2: Hey, there. Welcome to the Continuous Call Team daily podcast. 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,840 S2: My name is Adam Haws, and I just gave a 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,720 S2: shock to my cohost, M G Mark Geier. Welcome. 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,759 S1: Is this on? Are we here? Are we here yet? Dad, welcome. 9 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,240 S1: I'm here for a, uh, a great discussion today because 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,920 S1: it's been a quiet week in rugby league. Not much 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,560 S1: to talk about. Very snoozy the game that always it 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,519 S1: just never sleeps, does it? 13 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,920 S2: Never sleeps. Especially at Tiger Town. Today though, Benji, Marshall 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,560 S2: and Adam do. We have come forward and spoken of 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,479 S2: mistakes they have made in this rift, which they are 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,720 S2: putting together because Benji has named Adam Dewi back at 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,200 S2: halfback for his team to take on the Eagles this Sunday. 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,640 S2: So they're hoping that's the end of this dispute. After 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,520 S2: Adam walked out, of course, last week, m g uh, 20 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,840 S2: you heard the press conference. Do you think this is 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,080 S2: all hunky dory now? It's in the past. We can 22 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,600 S2: all move on and hold hands. 23 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,510 S1: We'd like to hope so, horsie. You'd like to hope 24 00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:05,750 S1: so for the Tigers fans sake. You know, there's there's 25 00:01:05,790 --> 00:01:08,350 S1: not just one set of fans. We've got the fans 26 00:01:08,350 --> 00:01:11,509 S1: of the the Tigers per se, who have been fans 27 00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:14,709 S1: of the joint venture since 1999. But you've also got 28 00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:18,550 S1: old Balmain fans. You've got old Western suburbs, Magpies fans, 29 00:01:19,150 --> 00:01:21,910 S1: and they're the ones who keep. We keep asking. All 30 00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:24,709 S1: the Tigers keep asking to come to the three grounds 31 00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:27,390 S1: we've got and keep buying the jerseys, and then there 32 00:01:27,390 --> 00:01:29,190 S1: doesn't seem to be a year go by that the 33 00:01:29,230 --> 00:01:33,750 S1: Tigers don't have drama. Mhm. And I think it's unprecedented 34 00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:35,870 S1: what we've seen of late with Adam. Do you think. 35 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:38,910 S1: I look I had a blow up with Gus Gould. 36 00:01:38,910 --> 00:01:41,030 S1: I walked out of training once, but then I played 37 00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:43,990 S1: that weekend because I thought I can't let my teammates down. 38 00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:45,990 S1: I just can't do it. It's not in my it's 39 00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:48,990 S1: not in my DNA. But the Monday rugby league players 40 00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:50,990 S1: are a lot different to what we were yesterday. You know, 41 00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:54,550 S1: you get dropped these days back to reserve grade. You're 42 00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:55,870 S1: in the phone of your manager saying, I want out 43 00:01:55,870 --> 00:01:58,590 S1: of this place. I don't think I'm any good. There 44 00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:02,070 S1: is no intestinal fortitude in the modern day rugby league player, 45 00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:05,660 S1: And that's across everyone, not just I'm not saying Adam 46 00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:08,220 S1: is in that basket. He might love the club too much. 47 00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:10,900 S1: I don't know, but I'm glad they've put a bow 48 00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:13,139 S1: on it because what we need now is a Tigers fan. 49 00:02:13,139 --> 00:02:15,380 S1: If you are one, is is to finish the season 50 00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:17,300 S1: with 3 or 4 wins. Yeah. And the only thing 51 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:21,140 S1: that will get this will flush. This drama is a victory. 52 00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:24,700 S2: Yeah. Well look Adam Dewey, he definitely did show some 53 00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,740 S2: backbone today. He could have hidden a lot of players 54 00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:29,300 S2: in this instance would have hidden behind, uh, media managers. 55 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,500 S2: But he came forward and he admitted he got things wrong. 56 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:34,660 S2: He said, I'm a I'm an overthinker, I'm an overthinker. 57 00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:36,940 S2: There was a miscommunication, which obviously goes back to the 58 00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:39,500 S2: judiciary hearing when he got off last week and he 59 00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:41,540 S2: had no word from Benji Marshall. Benji said today, well, 60 00:02:41,540 --> 00:02:43,020 S2: I had sick kids. They were on the verge of 61 00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:44,660 S2: going to hospital, so I was a bit tied up. Sorry. 62 00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:46,420 S1: You see all these we don't know. We don't hear 63 00:02:46,419 --> 00:02:46,820 S1: all this. 64 00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:50,940 S2: Yeah. So? So Adam's overthought things. He feels undervalued. He 65 00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:52,900 S2: has a blow up. He walks out. He had no 66 00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,579 S2: idea it was going to cause the shitstorm that we 67 00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:57,740 S2: saw over the weekend. When he pulled out of that, 68 00:02:58,060 --> 00:03:00,340 S2: that team that got thumped by the Raiders. So credit 69 00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:02,860 S2: to him. He admits now he should have played. His 70 00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:05,360 S2: manager was telling him to play, but he's stubborn, he admitted. 71 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,680 S2: He's stubborn, Adam. Do he? And he dug his heels 72 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,480 S2: in and didn't play. But he regrets that now. 73 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:09,919 S1: Yeah, that's. 74 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,920 S2: Well, I'll give him credit for that. 75 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,480 S1: I'm glad he's. Come on. I'm glad he said that. 76 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,000 S1: Because you could just play that the victim card for 77 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,760 S1: as long as you want. And I don't think Adam did. 78 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,760 S1: He thinks he's a victim. I think you know, that 79 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,440 S1: makes sense. You know that Benji didn't get back to 80 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,240 S1: him because he's got his own dramas and. Yeah, um, 81 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,399 S1: I do in all of this feel sorry for one bloke. 82 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,520 S1: And that's Javon Andrews who made his debut. Yeah. Um, 83 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,720 S1: last week against the Raiders and the poor kid was 84 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,840 S1: just in a, in a thunderstorm. You know, he's kind 85 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920 S1: of trying to get his first grade game together and 86 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440 S1: all this peripheral stuff's going on in the background. I, 87 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,600 S1: I hope he's not too discouraged. I know he's back 88 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520 S1: on in New South Wales Cup this week. Um, but 89 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,240 S1: I hope he doesn't get too discouraged because the kid 90 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,080 S1: can play. I've seen a lot of him this year 91 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,760 S1: and he's got a really nice temperament. Um, he's a, 92 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,280 S1: he's a big bodied halfback, but uh, look Tigers fans 93 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,960 S1: hold on hopefully hopefully this weekend against your eels they 94 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,480 S1: can get. Oh that's right. Your eels are playing him 95 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,200 S1: this weekend. 96 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,510 S2: The timing's amazing, isn't it? You watched that today and 97 00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:07,390 S2: you think, oh, they're all happy families again. Oh, who 98 00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:09,710 S2: are they playing? Parramatta. You wouldn't believe it, would you? 99 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,790 S2: But look for Tigers fans going forward because there has 100 00:04:11,790 --> 00:04:13,750 S2: been reports that Adam is off to Perth Bears. He's 101 00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:15,510 S2: not going to stick around. But he was adamant today. 102 00:04:15,510 --> 00:04:18,190 S2: I love this club, I love Benji, I love the badge. 103 00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:19,870 S2: I'm not going anywhere. I've got a three year deal. 104 00:04:19,870 --> 00:04:22,589 S2: I don't walk out on contracts. So he's adamant he's 105 00:04:22,589 --> 00:04:24,469 S2: not walking out of the Tigers. 106 00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:27,190 S1: It's the 29th of July today and that's the first 107 00:04:27,190 --> 00:04:30,270 S1: I've heard of that. If he does that, he'll erase 108 00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:32,710 S1: all the dramas. He'll erase all the dramas. If he 109 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:35,270 S1: sticks solid to his three year deal with the Tigers 110 00:04:35,550 --> 00:04:37,990 S1: and sees it out. And I think he will if 111 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:40,349 S1: he said that. I haven't heard him say that. And 112 00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:43,870 S1: as we're recording this podcast, you're giving me news that 113 00:04:43,870 --> 00:04:46,349 S1: I haven't heard. But if he's saying that, well done. 114 00:04:46,350 --> 00:04:47,909 S1: I think it's the best thing he's said in the 115 00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:48,510 S1: last week. 116 00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:50,790 S2: Well, he's apologizing for letting down the fans. So he's 117 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:53,349 S2: not he wouldn't do that again because walking out would 118 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:54,830 S2: let the fans down again. So he's not going to 119 00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:56,430 S2: do that again. So I'm going to take Adam Dewey 120 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:57,430 S2: at his word. 121 00:04:57,470 --> 00:04:59,150 S1: I think so, yeah. I'm with you. 122 00:04:59,190 --> 00:05:01,630 S2: Yeah. So we'll see what happens. Benji Marshall also admitted 123 00:05:01,630 --> 00:05:04,820 S2: that he he got things wrong on reflection, including moving 124 00:05:05,140 --> 00:05:07,020 S2: him from half back to lock because he has been 125 00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:09,140 S2: their best player. He's been playing half back. Jerome Lewis 126 00:05:09,140 --> 00:05:11,460 S2: is leaving the Tigers, so why wouldn't you have dropped 127 00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:13,420 S2: him to the bench? That's the question I asked anyway. 128 00:05:13,460 --> 00:05:16,779 S2: So he's admitted. Yeah. On reflection I got that wrong. Uh, 129 00:05:16,779 --> 00:05:19,300 S2: and he's also Benji admitted that yes, I probably do 130 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,380 S2: need some help above me, which is what we've been 131 00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:23,659 S2: calling for. Uh, it's time for him to have a 132 00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:26,420 S2: senior head over him, sort of saying, hey, Benji, maybe 133 00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:27,940 S2: do this. Maybe that was. 134 00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:32,380 S1: What about the irony in this? If this happens, we've 135 00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:35,620 S1: seen that, um, Ivan Cleary is leaving the Panthers next year, 136 00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:38,260 S1: last year, next year. What if he went over back 137 00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:41,779 S1: to where he was as a as an advisory capacity 138 00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:42,900 S1: for Benji Marshall. 139 00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:45,020 S2: He got back in the bus and took the bus back. 140 00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:48,740 S1: Hey, you never, never, ever say no in this game. 141 00:05:48,779 --> 00:05:50,820 S1: It could happen. We know he's going to coach New 142 00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:52,860 S1: South Wales Ivan Cleary. He's going to have time up 143 00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:55,260 S1: his sleeve. It's only for six weeks a year. So 144 00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:59,700 S1: imagine him going back and helping out the club. I've seen. No, 145 00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:01,460 S1: I haven't seen. Do you remember. 146 00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:04,820 S2: Do you remember when the Tigers played the Panthers and 147 00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:06,810 S2: the Tigers fans now he was waving. 148 00:06:06,850 --> 00:06:08,089 S1: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, mate. 149 00:06:08,130 --> 00:06:10,290 S2: Man. There's some water. There's some water. 150 00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:12,810 S1: Imagine it, imagine it. There'd be the biggest story of 151 00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:14,489 S1: the year in rugby league if it happened. 152 00:06:14,529 --> 00:06:17,210 S2: It makes sense, mate. Now you mention it. It actually 153 00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:18,290 S2: makes sense. He's a perfect. 154 00:06:18,290 --> 00:06:20,050 S1: Guy. He's the perfect guy for them. 155 00:06:20,089 --> 00:06:20,969 S2: And he could do his origin. 156 00:06:21,210 --> 00:06:22,370 S1: Yes, yes. 157 00:06:22,410 --> 00:06:22,850 S2: Wow. 158 00:06:23,170 --> 00:06:24,890 S1: Talk to each other. Get into bed with each other. 159 00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:25,450 S1: Why not? 160 00:06:26,130 --> 00:06:27,210 S2: Will you stop saying that expression? 161 00:06:27,210 --> 00:06:27,890 S1: Get into bed. 162 00:06:29,610 --> 00:06:32,810 S2: Uh. Anyway. So. Yeah. Look. Parramatta, do you think Parramatta 163 00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:34,730 S2: players will be watching this going, oh, geez, what do. 164 00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:38,369 S1: We look like? Their fans? Oh shit. Why us? Why 165 00:06:38,370 --> 00:06:40,530 S1: can't they be playing the Warriors or the Panthers this week? 166 00:06:40,810 --> 00:06:43,370 S2: Oh dear. Anyway, so we'll see. Hopefully that's all done 167 00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:45,570 S2: and dusted. There was. I did get worried. I was 168 00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:47,969 S2: worried by one thing Adam did. He said. He said 169 00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:50,330 S2: I'm all in. And then we heard Jerome. Do I 170 00:06:50,330 --> 00:06:51,930 S2: say that? Didn't we? And we saw how that ended. 171 00:06:51,930 --> 00:06:55,410 S1: Yeah. Look, it's it's it's the modern day. We we 172 00:06:56,010 --> 00:07:00,570 S1: we allow clauses. We allow guys to, you know, back 173 00:07:00,570 --> 00:07:02,570 S1: in the day. And I'm not, I hope saying back 174 00:07:02,570 --> 00:07:04,890 S1: in the day because straight away you sound like a dinosaur. 175 00:07:04,890 --> 00:07:08,520 S1: But If a player would even dare speak to another 176 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,640 S1: club while they're under contract. Back in our day. Yeah, 177 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,680 S1: like like AFL. One good thing they really have that. 178 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,400 S1: We don't. But when I was on radio with Mick Molloy, 179 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,320 S1: he used to say, I can't believe this thing that 180 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,280 S1: you guys. He signed with Penrith now, but he signed 181 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,760 S1: with the dogs next year. He goes, if that was 182 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,400 S1: one of my players at Richmond who signed with the 183 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640 S1: Essendon Bombers for next year, guess what we'd do? Mhm. 184 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,680 S1: Out you go. Right now. Right now that like they 185 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,120 S1: got a point. 186 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,000 S2: Well, you've got you've got Connor Watson playing for the Roosters. 187 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,720 S2: Dragons Chiefs Jarome Luai Tigers, eels chiefs. This is all 188 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,000 S2: going to play out. It's just crazy. The system needs changing. 189 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,640 S2: That's a whole other. 190 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,680 S1: I think it does. Yeah it is another episode. But 191 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,480 S1: I think you're right. 192 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,440 S2: Um just just finally on that. The man who could 193 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,120 S2: have actually brought this all together, the Tigers together is 194 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,679 S2: Danny Abdallah, who lost his family. 195 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,120 S1: Well, my young bloke was there um, at training through 196 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,200 S1: the week and he said, dad, um, Danny, who's who 197 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,060 S1: lost his kids in that car accident, horrific, horrific. He 198 00:08:07,060 --> 00:08:09,620 S1: came to training because apparently he's a good mate of 199 00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:13,620 S1: Adam Davies. And he spoke to us and he said 200 00:08:13,620 --> 00:08:17,220 S1: that it was almost tears to every kid at training. 201 00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:19,540 S1: I went, oh man, I know Danny. I met Danny 202 00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:22,060 S1: many times in the last 5 or 6 years and 203 00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:24,700 S1: what he's gone through, I suppose if he can say 204 00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:28,140 S1: anything to a rugby league team to inspire them. The 205 00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:30,060 S1: Tigers at the moment need something like that. They need 206 00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:33,500 S1: something that says, you know what? There's bigger. There's bigger 207 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,339 S1: dramas outside of the world than what we're going through 208 00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:40,939 S1: at the moment, because it's perspective. It's perspective. It's perspective personified. 209 00:08:41,179 --> 00:08:44,179 S1: Like this guy lost his kids and by a drink 210 00:08:44,179 --> 00:08:49,500 S1: driver and he's still preaching to the world that forgive, forgive, forgive. Like, 211 00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:52,860 S1: come on, come on. Let's put things in perspective. And 212 00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:55,460 S1: I'm glad you brought that up because I've forgotten all 213 00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:57,780 S1: about that. When my young black two days ago said 214 00:08:57,780 --> 00:08:59,900 S1: that he'd been at training, I went, wow, how powerful 215 00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:00,500 S1: is that? 216 00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:02,820 S2: Adam Dewey would listen to that and go, hey, jeez, 217 00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:05,020 S2: I've been moved from halfback to lock. You know, blokes 218 00:09:05,020 --> 00:09:06,340 S2: are vaping at training, you know. 219 00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:08,970 S1: Well, that's that's that's bullshit. The vaping at training, like 220 00:09:08,970 --> 00:09:10,610 S1: I said to me, I'm like, what's this vaping at 221 00:09:10,610 --> 00:09:14,370 S1: training shit. He goes as if as if anyone would 222 00:09:14,650 --> 00:09:17,010 S1: have a vape at training, and as if someone wouldn't say, hey, 223 00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:19,130 S1: what are you doing? Like, just it's. 224 00:09:19,450 --> 00:09:20,410 S2: Just a bit of clickbait. 225 00:09:20,850 --> 00:09:21,209 S1: It doesn't. 226 00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:25,130 S2: Happen. Alright. Uh, dragons are sniffing around Kodi Nikorima or 227 00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:26,970 S2: more than they've got him around. Is it official? 228 00:09:27,010 --> 00:09:27,770 S1: I think it's a done deal. 229 00:09:27,809 --> 00:09:30,890 S2: It's over the line. Amazing. Yeah. So, what are you, mate? 230 00:09:30,929 --> 00:09:32,450 S2: How do they fit all these blokes in? Uh, they've 231 00:09:32,450 --> 00:09:34,770 S2: got about six new signings now. What? Drinkwater. 232 00:09:34,809 --> 00:09:37,010 S1: Yep. They've got Drinkwater. Callum. Matangi. 233 00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:38,010 S2: Koloamatangi. 234 00:09:38,210 --> 00:09:42,570 S1: Uh uh, Nick you mentioned um John. John Morris is 235 00:09:42,570 --> 00:09:43,690 S1: going there from the Tigers. 236 00:09:43,730 --> 00:09:44,450 S2: Is he coming back? 237 00:09:44,450 --> 00:09:45,210 S1: He's going back. 238 00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:46,089 S2: No, he's assistant coach. 239 00:09:46,130 --> 00:09:49,090 S1: An assistant coach. He's trying to expand upon his 300 games. 240 00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:52,770 S1: He's going to play interchange. Um look I think now 241 00:09:52,809 --> 00:09:54,890 S1: if right now I think the Dragons make the eight 242 00:09:54,890 --> 00:09:58,490 S1: next year. Lock it in lock it in. That's my bold. 243 00:09:58,650 --> 00:10:01,210 S1: My bold prediction for next year is that the dragons 244 00:10:01,570 --> 00:10:03,689 S1: not just will make it. They definitely will make the eight. 245 00:10:03,850 --> 00:10:05,650 S2: Wooden spooners to finalist. 246 00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:08,130 S1: Yes. When's the last time that happened? I don't know, it. 247 00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:11,880 S2: Could be this year. Newcastle will drop. 248 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,080 S1: Oh! Oh, bastard. Bastard I know. Um. Look, you put 249 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,240 S1: them names. You mentioned horsey with the Kautzman twins with 250 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,880 S1: Dylan Egan, Hamish Stuart throwing, Val Holmes and Gutho. I 251 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,000 S1: just hope the Dragons have enough speed to keep up 252 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,960 S1: with this spine. You know, they need to. They need 253 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,680 S1: some because Terrell Sloan's gone and he's the fastest player 254 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,520 S1: by a mile at the moment. They're lacking that guy 255 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,760 S1: who can run 100m like the Titans the other day 256 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,839 S1: against them showed how you can score a try from 257 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,840 S1: 50m out. The Dragons can't score many tries from 50m out, 258 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,920 S1: but with these new guys coming, they can certainly make 259 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,080 S1: the breaks that will lead to 50 meter tries. 260 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,400 S2: You mentioned Clint Gutherson. Where does he fit in next year? 261 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,160 S2: The veteran just played his 250 game. 262 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,040 S1: I think he's too slow for a centre or wing 263 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,440 S1: and I think he's not. I think he's. 264 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,440 S2: Because Drinkwater is fullback obviously. 265 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,520 S1: Yeah well Nick arena and McCaffrey halves. I think Gutho 266 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,720 S1: has a perfect 14. Just come on and be a 267 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,520 S1: you know a bit of a filler. 268 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,910 S2: Or there could be a tough conversation. 269 00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:11,870 S1: Like, you know, you can go with Locke, play second row. 270 00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:13,990 S1: He can play center like at a pinch. But I 271 00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:17,230 S1: think his days at starting maybe over next year, once 272 00:11:17,230 --> 00:11:18,630 S1: all the cavalry arrives. 273 00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:22,310 S2: Laurie Daley has spoken about these reports. He's stepping down 274 00:11:22,309 --> 00:11:25,390 S2: as blues coach, which we we figure he will do. 275 00:11:25,429 --> 00:11:27,510 S2: We know that. But he's still holding off on an announcement. 276 00:11:27,510 --> 00:11:29,270 S2: But it's more the health side of things. He's come 277 00:11:29,270 --> 00:11:32,310 S2: out and clarified that, hey, what did he say? 278 00:11:32,309 --> 00:11:34,630 S1: There's nothing nothing wrong with me. Yeah. So I sent 279 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:36,350 S1: him a text last night, you know, wishing him all 280 00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:39,230 S1: the best because we broke it. I spoke to Clint 281 00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:41,750 S1: Maynard yesterday, and as I was about to sign off, 282 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:45,070 S1: he said, wait there. There's breaking news that Laurie Daley 283 00:11:45,070 --> 00:11:47,230 S1: has stepped down from New South Wales coach because of 284 00:11:47,230 --> 00:11:50,150 S1: health reasons. So I got straight on my on my 285 00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:52,350 S1: phone to Loz and said, mate, just heard the news. 286 00:11:52,390 --> 00:11:54,550 S1: Hope it's okay. And is there anything we can do, 287 00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:56,870 S1: you know, to help? And he said, mate, I'm fine. 288 00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:59,350 S1: He said there's no health issues. He said it's. 289 00:11:59,390 --> 00:12:00,230 S2: Well, that is good news. 290 00:12:00,270 --> 00:12:02,790 S1: Well it's great news. Um, but now I suppose everything 291 00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:06,510 S1: goes towards who's going to replace him. Um I know 292 00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:09,630 S1: Joey Jones won't be. He's, he's already said no he's not. 293 00:12:09,630 --> 00:12:12,089 S1: He's going to, you know, stop the speculation. So we 294 00:12:12,090 --> 00:12:15,050 S1: will I think it's got to be Boyd Cordner with that. 295 00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:19,810 S1: Matt King Brett White set up if not left left 296 00:12:19,809 --> 00:12:21,810 S1: of field or right of field whatever you want it. 297 00:12:22,170 --> 00:12:23,370 S1: John Strange. 298 00:12:23,730 --> 00:12:24,130 S2: Oh yeah. 299 00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:28,530 S1: Women's coach John Strange for you. I don't know. It's 300 00:12:28,530 --> 00:12:31,050 S1: like I think I like the I like I like 301 00:12:31,090 --> 00:12:33,090 S1: the beat of his drum. Yep. I just like what 302 00:12:33,090 --> 00:12:35,770 S1: he does. I think I think he's a very hard 303 00:12:35,809 --> 00:12:39,130 S1: for a man to coach in a girl's game and 304 00:12:39,130 --> 00:12:42,370 S1: have authority without being too bombastic. Yeah. And I like 305 00:12:42,410 --> 00:12:46,610 S1: the way he massages his ego into the girl's game 306 00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:49,450 S1: without being too over the top. Um, so I think 307 00:12:49,450 --> 00:12:52,290 S1: he'd be fantastic for the blokes game. I think he's look, he's, 308 00:12:52,330 --> 00:12:54,730 S1: he's got a son and daughter both playing. They, you 309 00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:57,730 S1: know they look like great kids. John Strange you could 310 00:12:57,730 --> 00:12:58,970 S1: do worse than him for a year just to give 311 00:12:58,970 --> 00:13:01,410 S1: it a go. Interesting because Ivan will be the coach 312 00:13:01,650 --> 00:13:02,290 S1: after that. 313 00:13:02,690 --> 00:13:05,090 S2: Ivan. Yeah. I still think that could make a a 314 00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:07,370 S2: bending of the rules and bring Ivan in next year 315 00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:10,130 S2: because the transition is underway. Penrith anyway, with Peter Wallace 316 00:13:10,130 --> 00:13:14,240 S2: they bring Ivan in. Uh. Yeah. 317 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,840 S1: Didn't see that coming. Did you see it coming? 318 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,280 S2: Sort of. Well, well. Still a bit cool, but there's 319 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,400 S2: been some defensive issues on the left, hasn't there? So 320 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,560 S2: he's made he's pulled the pins. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. That's 321 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,800 S2: the sign of a good coach m g great job. 322 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,360 S2: Finished already? Yeah. Gotta move on, mate. 323 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:28,720 S1: Let's keep. 324 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,480 S2: Going. You got. 325 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,080 S1: Another day. Let's do a marathon. The daily marathon. 326 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,040 S2: Gotta keep it short. 327 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:34,960 S1: And punchy. 328 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,040 S2: Mate. Like how you used to play for the Panthers, mate. 329 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,680 S1: Off the bench. 330 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,520 S2: Off the bench. Hit him hard and get out of there. 331 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,280 S1: What about when I first come back? My first year 332 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,520 S1: back in 98, I was on the bench for every 333 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,920 S1: game that year and I averaged like in the first half. 334 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,719 S1: I'd come on after ten minutes, then go off in 335 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,520 S1: ten minutes because unlimited, unlimited to change back in them days. 336 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,280 S1: No more of them days. 337 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,000 S2: Good old days. 338 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,120 S1: You were good. Did I. 339 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,079 S2: Was I.
