26
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: to be this strange hill at this end. It was

27
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: like a It was like a rock formation basically, and

28
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: the people are just sit on and stand on it.

29
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: I remember my first game. There was these two blokes,

30
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: the only two people in the whole stadium. They had

31
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: blue on and they had this massive New South Wales

32
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: banner and they walked across the front of it. The

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: whole hill just threw kens at them. By the time

34
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: they got there in there, they're just pouring out of

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: blood and the coppers grabbed him and just threw them

00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 2: The best memories are the ones you don't remember.

113
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: All right, well, let's talk a little bit of state

114
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: of origin. What have you made of the build up

115
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: the week? It doesn't feel like there has been a lot.

116
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: Of someone like no fuse few, there was a drone.

117
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: It was too late on.

118
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 5: The New South Wales camp. When Stephen Crichton went.

119
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: On in the Queensland team, who can you hate?

120
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: There's no one you can't hate him.

121
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: Nah, you've gotten too soft in your older years.

122
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: I've got to say the preparation of Queensland has been

123
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: a lot more fluid than the New South Wales teams.

124
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: They come into Sydney, had the blue ball, then they

125
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: went to katoomber It rained for a couple of days

126
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: and they come back to city to train. They come

127
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: up here injuries, painhasted in train all week. Stephen Crichton

128
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: went down. So it'd be interesting if we see that

129
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 2: while Queensland just plotted along thirty.

130
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: Agrees every day when water's sunshine coast, enjoying everything Queensland

131
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: has to offer.

132
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 8: I'm trying to pick in there who you'd love to

133
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 8: see get smashed. There's no real villains, there's no King Wally.

134
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Who else was the vi.

135
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: Moje just split it all over his lip?

136
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: Anyone else?

137
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 9: No?

138
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: Not really.

139
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 8: Harrys to like Calin's plays for Newcastle, so please don't

140
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 8: touch them. Yeah, and you said I've got Spencer, but

141
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 8: Spencer's not talking.

142
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: Spencer and the Troil they probably the two villains aren't talking.

143
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, that's why there has spe.

144
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: About sixty seconds into the game, it will'll be.

145
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 5: Plenty of spies. Well, what did you make of Stephen Crichton.

146
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 4: He went off injured in their training session yesterday with

147
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: that quad injury.

148
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: You can see just how it's not chaf.

149
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Do you walk back from the beach, You've got that

150
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: much stand up.

151
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: So they've got Stephen Crichton obviously in the squad. He's

152
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: been in and around state of origin for a number

153
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: of years. He's just been really unfortunate to miss out

154
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: due to different injuries and whatnot.

155
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 5: And then there's talk.

156
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: That Matt Burton that was Monday, that was yesterday.

157
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: Yesterday, Yes, so it's a bad cook.

158
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: You can't play with them hurt. They really hurt.

159
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: But I heard you train today. So he did captain's

160
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: run So that's normally a good sign and that he

161
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: will play.

162
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: Is it a positive thing for New South Wales that

163
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: they do if God forbid? Sephn Crichton is ruled out?

164
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: That they do have Kempbell Graham Who's that's his position.

165
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: He's been in and around, very defensive center too. He'll

166
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: slot in.

167
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: Well, that's why they call him stretch too, because.

168
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: He's sure about it.

169
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 5: That's what I assumed. It looks like he's been stretched

170
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: because he's got I.

171
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: Don't say Stephen Crichton would be a big loss.

172
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Stop you're digging a hole at Danka. Stephen Crichton. He'll play,

173
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: he'll play for sure.

174
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, that's good news for New South Wales. What

175
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: about the game plans for New South Wales Queensland. How

176
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 4: do you think it's going to sort of play out

177
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: on the field.

178
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 8: Well, I think New South Wales has got an advantage on

179
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 8: the edge with the back rowers and centers, so but

180
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 8: you can't go there until you've done the hard work

181
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 8: in the middle. I think the back five for New

182
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 8: South Wales are important, the fullback, the wingers and the

183
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 8: outside backs getting out of dummy half and getting.

184
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: Forward to help their forwards.

185
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 8: I think if New South Wales have greater share of

186
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 8: possession and field position, there's too many points in New

187
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 8: South Wales.

188
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: I think they'll both be very similar. The think what

189
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: they want to do is get to Harry or get

190
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: to our hookers, then get to they're right, so that'll

191
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: be getting at Munster and getting his tackle count up,

192
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: and they'll be getting at Moses and he's tackle count up.

193
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: Well they'll do is then leave Dce isolated against with

194
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: Robert Toyer and then also Nathan Nathan he could be

195
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: slow on leads sometimes so he'll be a real target

196
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: and that'll be I reckon, that'll be both their game plans.

197
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: Get to the right to open up the left.

198
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 8: And talking about Nathan getting off, that's Kaylon's favorite side.

199
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: Kayle he runs, he runs to that left side.

200
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: Hammer and Vale Holmes. There's some real athletes here, so

201
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: I think that decision making with those blokes on our

202
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: ride is going to be crucial.

203
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 8: I haven't seen a team. I'm sure every team talks

204
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 8: about it. Isolating Bryant to oh under the high ball.

205
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 8: I haven't ever seen it happen. Now Xavier Coates will

206
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 8: be on that side. Yeah, so surely that they're going

207
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 8: to come up with a plan to try to get him.

208
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: You're right, for a small bloke, no one's ever gone

209
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: out of the top of him.

210
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: What about for the makeup of the benches and the

211
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 4: run on sides, because we've seen Billy mate changes last minute?

212
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 5: Was it late late last year?

213
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 8: I think New South Wales's bench is far far superior.

214
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 8: Didn'ts at fourteen? I've never seen Tommy didn't play in

215
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 8: the middle.

216
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: Well that's the thing. What position they.

217
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: Got danutants there? Well, you don't know.

218
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: We'll cover the hearts and then he'll have to cover

219
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: hooker and maybe in lock forward. A lot of the

220
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 2: time they'll bring those smaller blokes in when the sort

221
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: of heats out of the game and try to use

222
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: speed through the middle. Batley Haywood does it for Canterbury

223
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: a bit different. The other one is Lindsay Collins. Lindsay

224
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: Collins played the other the other day. The Roosters good

225
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: for two pretty quick, played one game in five weeks,

226
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: so having him come off the bench means that he's

227
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 2: going to risk that he's going to blow out. So

228
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: maybe they might start him and then bring Moe or

229
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: someone off the bench.

230
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So we could see some late changes

231
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: from the Queensland side when Team Lisser released one album

232
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 4: for playoffs, So of course we will be all across that,

233
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 4: all right, sick around because we've got so much more

234
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: coming your way here on Fredd in the Eighth, we're

235
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 4: only just getting warmed up. But he sure knows as

236
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: well who he is now, but he didn't in nineteen

237
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 4: ninety five. And ben Iken joins us very shortly here on.

238
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 5: Fredd in the eight.

239
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: So let's hear from Queensland legend ben Iken coming up

240
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: very shortly.

241
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 9: While a serious bonding say last night, forced New South

242
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 9: Wales to cancel training this morning. As for the Queenslanders,

243
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 9: they spent the day just getting to know each other. Funny,

244
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 9: I got out of the lift and I've just looked

245
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 9: at this kid and he looked like something we walked

246
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 9: off the street, you know, from the Gold Case somewhere,

247
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 9: and I said, yes he went, Oh, ben Iiken Iken

248
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 9: and his teammates had a run with Vaughton this afternoon.

249
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 9: Now at least they know who he is, Clinton Fletcher

250
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 9: National nine.

251
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 4: Years Oh that this great year from the fat and

252
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: tomorrow and I looking forward to this in free game

253
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 4: of State of Origin. He's going to be talking to

254
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: us all about nineteen ninety five through his eyes as well,

255
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: So apparently it's a very good piece.

256
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: Must tune in for that.

257
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 4: But I'm pleased to say that the QURL CEO Ben

258
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: Iken joins this on at Freddy the eight is now

259
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: good to see you.

260
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 5: What's it like looking back at that? And also to

261
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 5: the fact that that was suity.

262
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 10: Ye oh no, look Fatty clearly looked much younger as

263
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 10: did I. He's been a few pictures circulating this week

264
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 10: of a side by so I and a whole lot

265
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 10: of commentary that have come with the text messages.

266
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 11: But it was it was an incredible time.

267
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 10: Like I was first you out of high school and

268
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 10: had played three first grade games at a club that

269
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 10: wasn't renowned for success, the Gold Coast Seagulls. They literally

270
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 10: ran out of players to pick and I'd played in

271
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 10: a coins that under seventeen side the year before. Arthur

272
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 10: Bootsen was there watching and said, there's this kid down

273
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 10: the Gold Coast. He's just made a stabut if you

274
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 10: need someone, why not give him a run? And no

275
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 10: one knew who I was. I didn't know half the team,

276
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 10: so I think we went on to win that series

277
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 10: three nil.

278
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,119
Speaker 11: Is quite remarkable.

279
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 4: I always thought to Freddy about this about just being

280
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: so young, and that it's actually you say that it's

281
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 4: actually quite beneficial because you're just so full of confidence.

282
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 10: What was it like for Yeah, I think I broke

283
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 10: your record at Yeah, so he was like one hundred

284
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 10: and fourteen days into his eighteenth year and I was

285
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 10: eighty three, so it wasn't by much.

286
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 11: And you're right, you know, let's be honest.

287
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 10: I was eighteen, I was male, and I was rguy

288
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 10: league for a living, so I wasn't thinking too deeply

289
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 10: about life and that helped certainly. Look the thing that

290
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 10: didn't get me going, the penny, didn't really drop what

291
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 10: I was part of until I got to Sydney for

292
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 10: Game one and it was game day. Still nothing speech,

293
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 10: still nothing hopped on the team bus and the police

294
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 10: escort fired up and I went, wow, this game on,

295
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 10: this is important.

296
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: And there's no noise on the bus seat. No quite

297
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah?

298
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 10: And so like I've only burned to Sydney once before,

299
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 10: so I'm driving through the streets of Sydney in peak hour.

300
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 11: You know Copp was in front of the bus. That

301
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 11: it all started to slightly overwhelm me. But you know

302
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 11: we ended up winning.

303
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's Fatty like during that ninety.

304
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 10: Five he look, you both know him, well, he's he's

305
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 10: a pretty intelligent guy, thinks deeply about the game. And

306
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 10: the thing that I Reckon helped him enormously is that

307
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 10: he coached a game plan that he himself.

308
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 11: Used as a player.

309
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 10: It was a very simple game for Fatty rugby league,

310
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 10: particularly at the Origin level, and so he gave us

311
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 10: a game plan that we could all bite down on

312
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 10: under pressure and fatigue and just kept reinforcing it over

313
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 10: and over.

314
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 11: But we were never going to win on talent.

315
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 10: It was all going to be about character and so

316
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 10: the plan he ended up giving us was simple, it

317
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 10: was repeatable, and it was made to order for a

318
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 10: group of blokes like that.

319
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 8: So do you think any other coach could have got

320
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 8: used to win three nil.

321
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 10: I don't think so, you know, because he knows and

322
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 10: understands Origin history. He knows what it means to the

323
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 10: people of Coinsland when this team is winning, like you've

324
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 10: experienced it, you know where we got a bit silly

325
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 10: up here north of the border around Origin time. And

326
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 10: when this team wins, the whole state walks taller. And

327
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 10: he tapped into that. And he's always been out to

328
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 10: articulate his point very well. So he knew and he

329
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 10: said what we were going to have to do to

330
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 10: beat new so Wale's a team full of eleven internationals,

331
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 10: and he just kept repeating it, enforcing it, and in

332
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 10: the end it worked.

333
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: The other one is always standing next to occasions, Chris Close.

334
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: What does Chris Close mean to Coinslanders?

335
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 10: He's he was the second coming of Dick Toss, a

336
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 10: turner who's labeled the godfather of the Fogs.

337
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 11: And Origin up here. He bleeds my own choppy.

338
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 10: You know, started his career playing the same position as

339
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 10: this Blake Brett Dallas. He was Man of the match

340
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 10: in Origin one and two way back in nineteen eighty

341
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 10: and eighty one, and you know, famous for the slap

342
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 10: on Eric growth, you know, the finger to feel goold it.

343
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 10: It meant the world to him, and in fact that

344
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 10: on the first day in the first camp sat Fatty

345
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 10: sat us down and spoke to us for about twenty

346
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 10: minutes as a team, and he sort of helped us

347
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 10: understand the enormity of what was in front of us,

348
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 10: how much he believed in us, and how we were

349
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 10: going to do it, how we're going.

350
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 11: To beat New South Wales.

351
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 10: He turned and gave the floor to Choppy, and Choppy

352
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 10: tried to speak and ended up just crying.

353
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 11: That was all that he could muster.

354
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 10: And so after Fatty's speech and Choppies tears, the team

355
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 10: was ready to rock and roll.

356
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: How much weight did you put on during that series?

357
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 11: Approximately fourteen kilos.

358
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: It's six weeks.

359
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 10: I started nineteen ninety five at the Gold Coast Seagals

360
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 10: at eighty four kilos and I finished at ninety eight kilos, right,

361
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 10: and where I ended up getting picked for the Junior

362
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 10: Kangaroo sup. Yeah, they kept growing after this series. I

363
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 10: went back to the Gold Coast and there's that I

364
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 10: made the Junior Kangaroos at the end of the year.

365
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 10: And you know those old seam photos were you all

366
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 10: stand in the line one line and I must have thought.

367
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 11: That I still fit size thirty two shorts. This photo,

368
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 11: you can the shorts are cutting into my size. Hockey

369
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 11: wouldn't believe it.

370
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: Well, there has been so much discussion.

371
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: We were talking about it when you first came on,

372
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: about the fact that you made your set of Origin

373
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: debu after playing four games, and Robert Toyer he's making

374
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 4: his state of Origin deboo after ten games. You can't

375
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: even imagine what he is going through because I feel

376
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: like it's such a different time for you know, thirty

377
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 4: years ago state of Origin to now have you had

378
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: much to do with the team through the week, and

379
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: Robert Toyer at all.

380
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 10: Have nothing to do with the team. I kind of

381
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 10: meet with Billy at the start of his contract and

382
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 10: try and extend him for as long as we can,

383
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 10: and then once that's done, the rains are handed over.

384
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 11: I trust Billy deeply.

385
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 10: He talks you through his philosophy about being head coach

386
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 10: of this team, and I just know that Robert Toyer

387
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 10: stepping into this environment is going to get well supported.

388
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 10: It's these kids these days, they're in systems, high performance

389
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 10: systems from about the age of fifteen. He's come out

390
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 10: of one of the most consistently high performing clubs in

391
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 10: our competition over the last twenty years, in the Sydney Roosters.

392
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 10: Trent Robinson, I dare say, would have been on the

393
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 10: phone win this week. He would no one understanding Trent Robinson,

394
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 10: you know, would have been someone that regularly chatted with

395
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 10: Billy Slater or vice versa. So Billy has been clear

396
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 10: since Robert was selected that he looked for habits in

397
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 10: his game that he knew were going to send him

398
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 10: in good stead come Wednesday night.

399
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 11: You know, call him origin habits or whatever they might be.

400
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 10: But Billy would not have picked him if he didn't

401
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 10: think he could get the job done.

402
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: And he's been there for a couple of years, like

403
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: he's been injured, he's been around the club, so you

404
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: know he's conditioned to training. He's not a kid like

405
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 2: when you look at a Ben when he came through

406
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: like he was a kid. The other thing is at

407
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: a moment meet you're a CEO, yes of Queensland, you're

408
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: a player. You went through the media. What's it like

409
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Burner ceo? And you know how different is it to

410
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: the other two jobs?

411
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 10: Governance is not easy. Some days it feels like you're

412
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 10: hurting cats. Like here in Queensland, we've got the two

413
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 10: Origin teams. We don't touch the NRL clubs, but they

414
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 10: sit in our jurisdiction. Underneath that, we've got our fifteen

415
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 10: Queensland Cup clubs that each runs six teams, and then

416
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 10: the big beast that sort of fools the machine up

417
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 10: the top in community rugby league is three hundred and

418
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 10: fifty six clubs across thirty four fourteen referees associations and

419
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 10: all run by people who work for nothing, twenty zerousand

420
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 10: volunteers yep. And you know the really pleasing thing for

421
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 10: me today was we had our Volunteers of the Year

422
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 10: come down. So they get nominated at the back end

423
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 10: of last season and I get the pleasure of calling

424
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 10: them up and thanking them for their service, and then

425
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 10: tell them that they're going to be flown in to

426
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 10: watch Origin at some court startium. So they hang around

427
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 10: the QRL for a couple of days. We remind them

428
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 10: just how thankful we are as a game, and that

429
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 10: this thing we're going to watch, you know, six times over.

430
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 10: Now that we've got the women's series, those people that

431
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 10: participate in that thing. They do not get that opportunity

432
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 10: without the good work of the volunteers.

433
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 11: It's so very important.

434
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 10: It's probably the thing that keeps me up at night

435
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 10: because volunteerism is getting harder. So, as the CEO of

436
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 10: the QRL support of our by a board, our job

437
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 10: is to make sure that those people get the support

438
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 10: they need so the game keeps growing and getting better.

439
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 5: It is such an important job that they do.

440
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: They need so much recognition for it because they are Yeah,

441
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: not a lot of people have a life to spare

442
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: time these days.

443
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 5: Good to see.

444
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: Well the game is grown because we just passed last

445
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 2: year's number, so we're at numbers that we've never been

446
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: a before and we've still had a month ago of participation.

00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: As soon as I heard that you were on, I

484
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: thought this is going to be a dynamic duo.

485
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 12: I just fee attle a bit of a stitch up

486

491
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: How good?

492
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 5: What are your memories of state of origin? What does

493
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 5: it mean to you?

494
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? You heard that there.

495
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 12: It's the best end of the year. I got to

496
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 12: play with these guys some memories, probably twenty years ago

497
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 12: the two thousand and five series, and Fred come back

498
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 12: for the two thousand and four series as well. But

499
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 12: this game here, game one, I think we're nine a

500
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 12: nailed down, this one, this is a phonic one birds, Yeah,

501
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 12: ninety nail down and we come back twenty all and

502
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 12: I think went to Golden Point.

503
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: One thing stands out.

504
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 8: I don't know what year two thousand and three, maybe

505
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 8: the opening and I kicked off and the ball actually

506
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 8: leaneded and when Shane Weepy gets the ball underneath the

507
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 8: post after about first one, there is bit mate.

508
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: You give him everything I reckon.

509
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 12: I had about eight stitches in my ear and I

510
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 12: had to tape it up, and I looked ridiculous, and

511
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 12: I just remember looking at himself, have a go at yourself,

512
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 12: and I just knew that I had to do something.

513
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 12: I'm looking ridiculous as I was. So that kick went

514
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 12: off and I just ran down there fast I could,

515
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 12: and the bounce around and the biggest man to pick

516
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 12: it up with the shame web here and I did my best.

517
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 12: That's all I could do.

518
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: What about playing here, what's it like? Give us an

519
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: idea of the atmosphere.

520
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, you're so close for it. It ain't you from dressing

521
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 12: shed to sidelines. So the feelings just you know, usually

522
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 12: you can run out and just sell yourself a little bit,

523
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 12: but it's just bang, it's in your face, so you

524
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 12: feel like you can run through the other side of

525
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 12: the grand stand and keep running. It's such an adrenaline hit.

526
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 12: But yeah, it's a special place. It's a holy graph

527
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 12: for a lot of people to play up here, and

528
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 12: you know it's in Coinsland, so it's an amazing opportunity

529
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 12: for everyone to play up here.

530
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: What about the Captain of State?

531
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, you know you were injured that year and

532
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 12: got thrust into that in two thousand and four and

533
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 12: super privileged. I had the doubt straight away and I

534
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 12: had two games there and fred Game came back for

535
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 12: the second game, I think it was, and the third game.

536
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: So did do you captain? Freddie? Did captain? Both?

537
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: Tell us a story?

538
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 12: First training session, Well, we sort of were there to

539
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 12: set some stand or fred was to set some stands

540
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 12: around my leadership, and we're just on a simple warm up,

541
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 12: past past past handoff, past past past hand off. And

542
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 12: Freddie looked at me as if to say, what are

543
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 12: you doing, mate, what are you doing? And I'm just

544
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 12: sort of getting my past past past and he said

545
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 12: what are you doing?

546
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: After training?

547
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: Anyway?

548
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 12: He grabbed up to the training say that is that your standard?

549
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 12: Is that what you're willing to accept? And I said, well,

550
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 12: aren't we just warming up? And he said there's no

551
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 12: warm ups in origin. I got your friend horrified. Yeah,

552
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 12: it was initiation and fred was out to teach me

553
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 12: a few things around what it means to be a

554
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 12: Blues player.

555
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 4: All right, talking about initiation, you're probably one of the

556
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: nicest guys in rugby league. We have spoken here on

557
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 4: the show about when people have alter egos. Darren Lockier

558
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: he has, Darryl, do you have an alter ego that's

559
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 4: ever come out? Maybe in a state of origin?

560
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 12: Camp Well, I'm a bit of a follower, so I

561
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 12: used to follow this man a fair bitch. So I've

562
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 12: got it in trouble. There's a couple of photos at

563
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 12: a time. I can see myself contemplating should I shouldn't

564
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 12: I go with him?

565
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 8: And while we were in the gutter, sit in the

566
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 8: gut and we fly back into new and I ring

567
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 8: the Brian saw come and pick us up. Come pick

568
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 8: me and Bensy so bring me when you're two minutes away,

569
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 8: she rings me. We had a taxi waiting. We jump

570
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 8: into the taxi where I so mean Bensy's bags there.

571
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 8: We'll be home maybe tomorrow, Bensy maybe do it.

572
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, No, we had some dog so Blovesy was my nickname.

573
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 12: I'd probably lose my neck muscles.

574
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: A little bit.

575
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 8: I guess when he gets full of it, that's become

576
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 8: him Blobbsy, because.

577
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: And he gets ruthless on people.

578
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 13: Was a bit high and you got roofless on John Laws, John,

579
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 13: you made so much money on the speaking circa just

580
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 13: stitching up on this, but I remember it.

581
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: He shared lords of his belt buckle. He loved.

582
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 3: It was an interesting afternoon, not that I can.

583
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 12: And I remember waking up in Andrew's son's bed about

584
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 12: three o'clock in Newcastle.

585
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: Gun.

586
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: Did we got to Sydney yesterday?

587
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: We definitely did.

588
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 4: You have to tell him that he may have or

589
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 4: may not have gotten naked at the at the lunch,

590
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 4: I had a spoon him.

591
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: What was emotional?

592
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: Very much?

593
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: What about being coached by Gus? Yeah, Gus.

594
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 12: For me having all those coaches during your origin career,

595
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 12: it's one of the great things is you see different

596
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 12: ways that coaches set up the week. And for Gus,

597
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 12: I reckon the first first time we got with Gus.

598
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 12: He went took us up into his room. The whole

599
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 12: team was just like this around the room and he

600
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 12: was sort of challenging you without challenging you, like you

601
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 12: look at you and it's the eye contact and he

602
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 12: looked away. This what I thought anyway, if you looked away,

603
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 12: that was a way of seeing it as a sign

604
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 12: of weakness. But he kept on just going out and

605
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 12: when he looked away, you just go freeze.

606
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: You know, that's just the way.

607
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 12: The way he set the week up and in always

608
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 12: about an ambush. And one good memory here is the

609
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 12: fogs usually have their lunch and on over there, and

610
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 12: we probably had six scent use of the field that

611
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 12: had it roped off, and he knew what was going on.

612
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 12: There'd be people watching, and he goes, right, when we

613
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 12: go out, we're going to chip, and we're going to

614
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 12: chip and chase forty meter line every time. We did

615
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 12: about five sets and I think one of the boys

616
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 12: kicked it fullback chased it and that was us.

617
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: We went back in.

618
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 12: So he just said, as up goes, this is going

619
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 12: to be the you know, they think we're going to

620
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 12: play this way, but we're not going.

621
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: To play this way.

622
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 12: We obviously we don't need to train today. We've got

623
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 12: to understanding how we're going to play. We went out

624
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 12: and do it.

625
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: Another party of life mate, Mark Hughes, one of your

626
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 2: good mates obviously had had an illness and he's attacking

627
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,480

684
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: The eighty five.

685
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: Series Wow as the first year. Yeah, I watched. The

686
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: first one I went and watched was eighty four. But

687
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: Benny Ellis was a big addition. I thought he changed

688
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: out of Roge. I don't think he changed the way

689
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: Hawker's played. He was briening. He got in ducked into

690
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame the last Monday.

691
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 8: Probably the most iconic image for New South Wales is

692
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 8: after they win the series.

693
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: I hope we see it.

694
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 8: Turvy gets down on his knees and you can see

695
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 8: just what it meant to him. And by all accounts

696
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 8: this this camp and this I hope we see it.

697
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: It see that that sort of stuff.

698
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 8: It's just he took hold of the camp pretty much

699
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 8: and just drove all the players and got the belief

700
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 8: in the blue jersey.

701
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: Well, the story is when they got to Brisbane, so

702
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: he got on the bus and he got everyone to

703
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: pull their blinds and he stood at the front. He

704
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: just said everyone, he hates you. Every single person up

705
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: here hates you. The bus driver hates you. So we're

706
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: just gonna stick together the whole trip, and that's when

707
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: they come up in one.

708
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: Howd it is?

709
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 11: Yep?

710
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 4: All right, So the Blues meal has landed at Macas.

711
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 4: There's six legendary cups to collect, so go in store

712
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 4: and collect at yours today so you can get all six.

713
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: That's a lot of maccas as well, So no doubt

714
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 4: there'll be a lot of Macas after the State of

715
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: Orage at night. Betsy, great to have you on. We've

716
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 4: got plenty more coming up here on Fred in the eight.

717
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 4: It's good stick around. We'll be back just after this.

718
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: Well what a sunkleed stadium is this seasoning. We cannot

719
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 4: wait to see it in action in all its glory tomorrow.

720
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 4: But we have a huge week of State of Origin

721
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 4: action coming up on nine's Wide World of Sports. To

722
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 4: meet Upton joins us now because after Men's Origin tomorrow night,

723
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 4: the women are back in action. Unfortunately, though for yourself

724
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: you have a part of it. Talk us through the injury.

725
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: It's a glute injury, but it's one that you did

726
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: actually prior to game two.

727
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, So got into camp day one and unfortunately just

728
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 6: sort of went on me but had a really good rehab,

729
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 6: got myself back in time, but unfortunately couldn't last out

730
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 6: the game and it just went, which is unfortunate, a

731
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 6: little bit bittersweet obviously get to see Haley Maddick make

732
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 6: her debut, but it's not what you want with such

733
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 6: a short turnaround. But yeah, I'm really excited to get

734
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 6: in with the girls.

735
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: So what do you do? How do you fix a

736
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: glut injury?

737
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 6: I actually don't know if you know, just let me know.

738
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: But you have a lot of messaging. No, actually, leimate question.

739
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 6: It's not it's my rest rehab so much booty band work.

740
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 6: I don't know if you've seen that. It's a bit

741
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 6: like Pilate's so it's definitely not my strong hearts. So

742
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 6: many parts of the glute.

743
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: There are actually a number of different parts of the glute,

744
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: so it's strengthening all the other parts as well.

745
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: Andrew'st more than what are you talking about?

746
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 5: Glue?

747
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 8: You grew up in Rocky and you're a connection with

748
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 8: Harry Grant. Harry Grant's mum coached you. But you also

749
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 8: played touch footy with the one on Landy Cameron Munster

750
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 8: growing up there. What was footy like?

751
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 6: Oh, it's the heartland of footy. We always say in

752
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 6: Central Queensland everyone's into footy. I grew up playing it

753
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 6: against all the boys. But I was fortunate enough to

754
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 6: sort of come through. And Margie Grant. Everyone who's in

755
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 6: Central Queensland knows who she is. She's very she's dedicated,

756
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 6: gives so much of her time up and just coached

757
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 6: us to help the women's team out. So I was

758
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 6: very fortunate the cross pass with her. And yeah, fortunate

759
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 6: enough to play a game or two with Camera Munster

760
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 6: and Mixed and he was honestly the most freakish talent

761
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 6: you ever see. Bit annoying, Yeah, and he told him

762
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 6: to He made sure they will know, but he was

763
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 6: very good.

764
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: What was a log playing against this new South Wales

765
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: team though very well prepared. I believe you your team

766
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: had a lot less sessions. But what they liked her

767
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: play against.

768
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 6: Oh, they're pretty much a juggernaut's side. If you look

769
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 6: at their outside back just the size on them purely,

770
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 6: and then you go into their forwards. They're obviously fit,

771
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 6: fast and strong and very connected as a team. And

772
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 6: spoken heaps about liv Kernick, but she is the connector

773
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 6: for that team and she gets the ball through the

774
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 6: middle and then out to the edges where they.

775
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: Do a lot of damage.

776
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 6: So it was obviously hard playing on the back foot

777
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 6: against them all game, but you know they were just

778
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 6: firing across all pums.

779
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 4: We're going to have a look at the team lists

780
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 4: as well, because obviously with yourself out it does bring

781
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 4: a lot of change to the Queensland side a favorit

782
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 4: of reef shuffling. But you can see Alie Brigginshaw on

783
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 4: the screen there. She was quite emotional following the loss

784
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 4: in game two, the series.

785
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 5: Loss as well. Do you think.

786
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 4: That maybe this could be the last series that she's

787
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: a part of and if it is, does it just

788
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: sort of inspire the girls to go out on a high.

789
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 6: I actually have no idea. I haven't spoken Allie about it.

790
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 6: I think you know, at the end of the day,

791
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 6: it's her call and she'll keep fighting for the jersey

792
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 6: if she wants to. But you know, we've seen where

793
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 6: the game has gone, We've seen the young ones come through.

794
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 6: New South Wales has such a young side at the moment.

795
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 6: What she'll do on Thursday night, particularly with the injuries

796
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 6: that we do have and the people that we have

797
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 6: missing is bring a lot of calm to the girls,

798
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 6: which would be needed.

799
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 8: You run a couple of comps in Newcastle with Jesse Southwell.

800
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 8: Must have been a bittersweet watching Jess carve up.

801
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

802
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 6: Obviously she missed out last year of the new South

803
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 6: Wales team, which was pretty unfortunate, and you know she

804
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 6: went back. She had a bit of a rough year

805
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 6: last year and she worked on aircraft and you can

806
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 6: obviously see that she's a million miles an hour and

807
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 6: now her kicking game was unbelievable and sort of had

808
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 6: us on the back foot the whole time. And I

809
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 6: think she played her role so perfectly and just complimented

810
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 6: through the midfield.

811
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: Hey, LEVI in Newcastle come back to Brisbane. How hell

812
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: was that decision?

813
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: It was a really tough decision, something that I sort

814
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 6: of sat on for ages and it's still actually quite

815
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 6: sad to think about. You know, you can still be

816
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 6: sad and have to make the right decision. But I

817
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 6: have a lot of friends. I love Newcastle as a place.

818
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 6: I actually missed it as a place, you know, waking up,

819
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 6: going to the beach in the morning, getting a coffee.

820
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 6: But I just think, you know, here I've been surrounded

821
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 6: by family. I've been pretty fortunate that my family come

822
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 6: visit me most weekends or I'm up back in Rocky,

823
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 6: so it's the right move for me.

824
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 4: Well, we wish you were going to be in action

825
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 4: tomorrow Thursday night rather but unfortunately not. I'm sure you

832
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 4: but having a crack moment for this week because there's

833
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 4: been a few highlights. We're going to start off with

834
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 4: ray Stone. What an effort this was. He put his

835
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: body on the line as well. His arm was hanging

836
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 4: half off his body and he just continued to make.

837
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 5: Tackle after tackle.

838
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 8: I don't think he understands what pain is, and I

839
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 8: actually think he probably enjoys pun I think so. Yeah,

840
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 8: there's something about Ray that scares me, really scares me.

841
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: Flag Ray. They call him the girls a turn on one.

842
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 1: He would be.

843
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: He's just mad he is so tough.

844
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: And then what about you would have enjoyed seeing this

845
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 4: one Paul Bryan on debut.

846
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: What a tough effort, shoulder.

847
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 8: Out, pops his shoulder out, there goes out and then

848
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 8: he pops it back in himself, but then stays out,

849
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 8: and then during that time he pops it out a

850
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 8: second time and pops it back in and ends up

851
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 8: playing a fair chunk of the game. Now for a

852
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 8: young player to come and do this on debout, all

853
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 8: the sooner players now without a doubt of so put

854
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 8: him in. Put him in because we can trust him.

855
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 4: So huge effort, the adrenaline that would have been running

856
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 4: through his body as well, there you go.

857
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine doing it.

858
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: That don't feel pain right, certainly having a crack al

859
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 4: ideas trying to check him with the sports bed.

860
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 5: It's over to Joel Caine.

861
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 7: Just have a look at these absolute guns. This is

862
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 7: our state of origin bingo. You go to the State

863
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 7: of Origin hub. What we need is any three of

864
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 7: these six tri scoring machines to pick up a try

865
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 7: in State of origin one, or you can pick up

866
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 7: any four if you want to go a little bit

867
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 7: more chucky on the price here, state of origin and

868
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 7: bring it on.

869
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: Imagine what you could be buying instead for free and

870
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: confidential support called the number on the screen, or visit

871
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: the website.

872
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Freddi and Nyank. Here we are inside

873
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: the visitors changed. You remember looking at those pictures butterflies.

874
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: I actually feel it. The blokes would have went out there.

875
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: When you come off the bus, you actually go outside

876
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: just to try to get an experience your atmosphere and

877
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 2: what it could be like. But normally there's a game

878
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: on before and that's sort of calms and nerves down

879
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: a little bit. But once you get in here there's

880
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 2: a massive attitude adjustin you warming up.

881
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: And you warm up and joggers, which is totally different.

882
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 8: You leave your boots in, but you all your sprints

883
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 8: and then the last thing you rip into these storen't

884
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 8: made to hit it.

885
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: Neck.

886
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: Now, these are the last things you do. You do

887
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: three of them, meach, and that's when everyone's got their

888
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 2: head on.

889
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 8: And then you come back in the room here and

890
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 8: this is where you start before you go and warm up.

891
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 8: You come off the bus and you get in first

892
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 8: for you go out and watch the other games and

893
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 8: you find your place and in your place. Remember they

894
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 8: always had the magazines.

895
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: Had the magazine and you go through and so everyone

896
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: that played Start of Origin and go through and go

897
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: all the records and the wins and losses, and you'd

898
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: always check out where you sat at the time.

899
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 8: The ones that stand out is we'd warm up and

900
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 8: then we'd get back into here and we'd sit here,

901
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 8: and then Gus or Ricky would start and just go

902
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 8: on their rent and just rev you up, and then

903
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 8: you'd hear the bell and the coaches generally leave, and

904
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 8: then everyone would be just in here.

905
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: You screaming, just screaming at us.

906
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 2: This gets so emotional, tears coming at your eyes.

907
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 13: You screw.

908
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 2: I just couldn't wait this moment now, the one as

909
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: you're about to leave, and really you're just you're not

910
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: even thinking, you're just looking at the ground. You're ready

911
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 2: for this smash in the face of this atmosphere.

912
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 8: This this bit here when you're walking out here and

913
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 8: you just about to turn the corner and then you

914
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 8: can just see the top.

915
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: But as you get further, you see the whole lot.

916
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 8: And it's the only place where I've felt it because

917
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 8: at a core, they're so far so long, but here

918
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 8: they're so close. It literally hitch in the face. And

919
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 8: when you hit here, you just sprint as fast as

920
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 8: you can't.

921
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: Just absolutely sprinting.

922
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 8: And then you get out here and then you tried

923
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 8: to fire your family and your friends and the Oh

924
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 8: it's so good.

925
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 2: I still love coming out because when you're inside, you're

926
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: thinking so much, and you're sort of going through your

927
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: game plan and what you want to do. But the

928
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 2: moment you start walking, you stop thinking and you just

929
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: sort of fell in the air. The atmosphere. They started

930
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: to line you up for the anthem.

931
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 8: When we used to do the anthem, would you pick

932
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 8: out your mom and the crowd?

933
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: I remember seeing mom and wemble Emberley spodding the crowd

934
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: and just seeing the national anthem. We still love seeing

935
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 2: the n I know.

936
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: We're doing the anthem the first one. Looking at there, Mom,

937
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: Hey mom, where's dad?

938
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: Wh He's at the bar.

939
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: It's got to settle his nerves. Hey guys, how are

00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: you but playing rugby league? Playing Origin?

941
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,839
