We are soft cocks because 0:01:30.370 --> 0:01:32.890 we just are. We just make it like we. We 0:01:32.890 --> 0:01:34.850 just drag it out. It's like the end of the world, 0:01:34.890 --> 0:01:37.850 isn't it? You're gone. I know you're gone. Should I like, 0:01:37.890 --> 0:01:39.369 should I do a video for the kids and say 0:01:39.370 --> 0:01:40.290 goodbye to him? Like. 0:01:42.690 --> 0:01:44.250 Where's the will? Let me take it. 0:01:45.650 --> 0:01:48.170 But, um, for three days. But I was just on 0:01:48.170 --> 0:01:49.290 my back and I thought, you know, I had the 0:01:49.290 --> 0:01:52.290 tonsils up. I had the chest infection. And, and ironically, 0:01:52.290 --> 0:01:54.810 they said you've had a bout a bout of RSV. 0:01:54.850 --> 0:01:56.690 And I said, well, that's what I bagged one of 0:01:56.690 --> 0:01:58.650 my colleagues for having that. I've never I've never heard 0:01:58.650 --> 0:02:00.980 of it until that. But apparently there's a massive outbreak 0:02:01.020 --> 0:02:03.020 of it this winter. Everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. 0:02:03.060 --> 0:02:04.100 Well, Jesus. Good to have you back. 0:02:04.180 --> 0:02:05.580 It's great to be back. Great to be. 0:02:05.580 --> 0:02:07.060 Back.

Um, 0:03:14.820 --> 0:03:17.820 I suppose the the big stories have revolved around the 0:03:17.820 --> 0:03:22.579 injuries Tommy Turbo and now Latrell Mitchell, Cam Murray. Gee whiz, 0:03:22.820 --> 0:03:24.859 I know it's a long season, but they're dropping like flies. 0:03:24.900 --> 0:03:28.419 What about poor old turbo? Oh. Oh, how bad do 0:03:28.419 --> 0:03:30.900 you feel for him? AM I right in saying five 0:03:30.900 --> 0:03:34.260 on one and four on the other in his hamstrings? Yeah. 0:03:34.300 --> 0:03:37.100 I I I, I just can't believe it. Every, every 0:03:37.100 --> 0:03:40.460 person rugby league that I know shakes their head and 0:03:40.660 --> 0:03:42.860 feel so sorry for him. Yeah. It's just one of 0:03:42.860 --> 0:03:45.340 them guys who he's so endearing to. You know, he 0:03:45.340 --> 0:03:47.140 was when he spoke to us at Magic Round. We 0:03:47.140 --> 0:03:49.820 just you look at him go. I love that kid. Yeah, yeah. 0:03:49.860 --> 0:03:54.380 You know him and his brother. Just this. They're so manly. And, um, I, 0:03:54.620 --> 0:03:58.270 I think there's got to be some serious conversations going 0:03:58.270 --> 0:04:01.590 forward about obviously fallback. I think the fallback days are done. 0:04:01.990 --> 0:04:04.150 I think he's got to be either five, eight or center, 0:04:04.390 --> 0:04:07.310 you know, a big bodied five eight. I think that 0:04:07.310 --> 0:04:11.950 explosive running that he's so renowned for. I think he 0:04:11.950 --> 0:04:15.110 knows it's not there anymore. And watching him play is 0:04:15.110 --> 0:04:19.230 kind of awkward sometimes because there's a gap and the 0:04:19.230 --> 0:04:20.830 old turbo would have went through it. 0:04:20.870 --> 0:04:21.230 Bang! 0:04:21.270 --> 0:04:24.710 Yeah. But now it's not happening. And I feel that 0:04:24.750 --> 0:04:28.550 manly are kind of indicative of the way turbo is feeling. 0:04:29.190 --> 0:04:33.349 Turbos apprehension about hitting a gap and hitting top speed 0:04:33.350 --> 0:04:36.230 is kind of like manly. Uh, over the last eight weeks, 0:04:36.230 --> 0:04:39.190 they just don't have that, like where they were before. 0:04:39.230 --> 0:04:42.150 Jesus dropped off, hasn't it hasn't manly. It has. Yeah. 0:04:42.350 --> 0:04:43.950 But I think there's no excuses now because I know 0:04:43.990 --> 0:04:47.029 turbos out. Yeah. Now they've got Lehigh full back. He's 0:04:47.029 --> 0:04:50.990 he's fantastic. I love the way he plays on the wing. 0:04:51.270 --> 0:04:54.550 I like that as well. So um obviously you need 0:04:54.589 --> 0:04:58.000 turbo you know, but they've got no excuses now. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.919 Question for you, piggy, because you're sort of in a 0:04:59.920 --> 0:05:03.000 club setup, right? So someone like Tom Trbojevic and Latrell, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.960 they suffer these injuries. Yeah. Are they in at the 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.760 club all the time? Yeah. And what sort of supports 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.600 around someone like turbo. Because like, I'm assuming as much 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.479 as it's physical it must be tough up here. Yeah. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.440 And the the clubs these days have a lot more 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.400 capability around um being able to help players like that. 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.560 So obviously they'll go into a rehab group and that's, 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.080 that's been forever and a day. That's what happens. But 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.360 they'll be managed separately from the playing group. Um, they'll 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.279 be there all the time. But obviously when the team's 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.360 out on the field, they're obviously doing their rehab, their physio, 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.400 everything that they can do to get themselves back onto 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.440 the field. And then the mental part of it as well, 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.920 there's wellbeing people at clubs now, uh, welfare people, they'd 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.520 be all always touching base with those injured players just 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.440 to make sure that they're okay. Like we have that, uh, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.880 in the female space at the Dragons and it'd be 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.240 no different. Every club would have those wellbeing people just 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.250 checking on them, making sure that they're okay and getting 0:05:56.250 --> 0:05:57.610 through their injury and their rehab. 0:05:57.650 --> 0:05:59.250 I know you spent a lot of time off the 0:05:59.250 --> 0:06:01.730 field through suspension. Did you suffer any bad injuries throughout 0:06:01.730 --> 0:06:02.050 your career? 0:06:02.210 --> 0:06:04.089 Oh, look, there was a couple of years ago I 0:06:04.089 --> 0:06:05.810 had a groin injury, a back injury, which put me 0:06:05.810 --> 0:06:09.529 out for maybe eight and ten weeks respectively. Um, I 0:06:09.529 --> 0:06:13.570 think when you're in the rehab group, the idle time 0:06:13.570 --> 0:06:16.130 is what hurts you most when you. Of course, they'd 0:06:16.130 --> 0:06:18.970 send you home because I had nothing like they've got now. 0:06:19.010 --> 0:06:21.610 They put you in the pool or they do something 0:06:21.610 --> 0:06:24.570 some non non-resistant running. 0:06:24.570 --> 0:06:25.210 Yeah yeah. 0:06:25.250 --> 0:06:26.850 Yeah. They had nothing like that back in my day. 0:06:26.850 --> 0:06:28.930 So they'd say, um get your physio then go home. 0:06:28.930 --> 0:06:30.970 And so you had 4 or 5 hours of nothing. 0:06:30.970 --> 0:06:34.409 So you'd say well who's home. Do they want to 0:06:34.410 --> 0:06:34.810 go to the pub. 0:06:36.930 --> 0:06:38.210 Do you have any bad ones mate. 0:06:38.210 --> 0:06:41.210 I was pretty lucky. Um. Oh I don't really need 0:06:41.210 --> 0:06:44.010 to touch wood because I'm not playing anymore. But, um. Look, 0:06:44.010 --> 0:06:46.810 I had a few injuries, like your knees and an ankle. 0:06:46.850 --> 0:06:48.690 I tore all the ligaments in my ankle, but that 0:06:48.690 --> 0:06:50.930 was during the preseason spewing. 0:06:53.170 --> 0:06:55.849 Great timing. Great timing for a trap. 0:06:55.890 --> 0:06:57.409 Came back round two as well. 0:06:57.810 --> 0:07:00.730 Yes. Have you told the story? So piggy went and played. 0:07:00.730 --> 0:07:01.930 You were playing tag or something? 0:07:02.130 --> 0:07:03.570 No. That's how I did the angle. 0:07:03.610 --> 0:07:04.090 That was it. 0:07:04.130 --> 0:07:04.610 Yeah. 0:07:04.650 --> 0:07:06.330 I told Porkies to the car. 0:07:06.370 --> 0:07:08.290 So I was playing at Parramatta. We just come off 0:07:08.290 --> 0:07:10.570 the back of a good season in oh five. We 0:07:10.610 --> 0:07:14.570 made the prelim final, got dusted in that. Anyway, I 0:07:14.570 --> 0:07:17.250 was playing tag with all my local mates and they 0:07:17.290 --> 0:07:19.650 were a bit older, so playing over 30s, you know, 0:07:19.690 --> 0:07:22.809 the whole. Oh yeah yeah. Bringing bringing a car into 0:07:22.850 --> 0:07:26.170 the thing. We're on the drink, you know, after it. Well, 0:07:26.170 --> 0:07:30.570 I've done my ankle like bad where I had to like, 0:07:30.610 --> 0:07:33.490 couldn't even walk on it. Drove home lucky it was 0:07:33.490 --> 0:07:38.650 just around the corner. Iced it up, rang the physio, said, mate, 0:07:38.690 --> 0:07:41.210 I've done my ankle. Got to come in. So I 0:07:41.210 --> 0:07:43.650 went in. The next morning. They're like, I'm like, fuck, 0:07:43.650 --> 0:07:45.250 what am I going? What am I going to do? Like, 0:07:45.450 --> 0:07:48.570 what am I going to tell the smithies? Brian oh, Jesus. 0:07:48.570 --> 0:07:54.380 So I said, mate, you wouldn't believe it. I took 0:07:54.380 --> 0:07:57.420 my dog for a walk with my girlfriend. I'll throw 0:07:57.460 --> 0:08:00.260 on the tennis ball, I said and threw the tennis 0:08:00.260 --> 0:08:02.940 ball and the dog came charging back. Knocked me off 0:08:02.940 --> 0:08:05.140 my feet. I did my ankle. 0:08:05.540 --> 0:08:09.540 You're a liar. Why did he believe it? 0:08:09.580 --> 0:08:10.500 Oh. Who knows? 0:08:10.780 --> 0:08:11.540 Who knows? 0:08:11.980 --> 0:08:14.540 Surely he gave me credit for the story, though. 0:08:15.380 --> 0:08:18.140 What about. What about Latrell Mitchell? Um, he's spending more 0:08:18.140 --> 0:08:19.860 time off the field than on it at the moment, 0:08:19.860 --> 0:08:21.900 isn't he? Which is becoming a bit of a problem 0:08:21.900 --> 0:08:22.140 for him. 0:08:22.180 --> 0:08:24.900 Yeah. It is. Well, especially his pay packet. Yeah. Um. 0:08:24.940 --> 0:08:27.260 And the bunnies want bang for buck and probably say 0:08:27.260 --> 0:08:28.740 they're not getting it at the moment because he's the 0:08:28.740 --> 0:08:31.420 most one of the most destructive players in the game 0:08:31.420 --> 0:08:35.180 when he's, when he's playing. So um yeah obviously South 0:08:35.179 --> 0:08:36.940 Sydney want to get him fit and firing. But at 0:08:36.940 --> 0:08:38.699 the moment they just can't get him on the field. 0:08:38.740 --> 0:08:41.179 Well they need him to win comps. They need him 0:08:41.179 --> 0:08:44.260 and Cam Murray to win comps. And uh unfortunately Cam 0:08:44.260 --> 0:08:46.939 Murray's out for a month with an ankle injury. Uh 0:08:46.940 --> 0:08:47.660 Taylor's Duncan. 0:08:47.660 --> 0:08:48.540 He's gone with the hammy. 0:08:48.580 --> 0:08:51.470 He's done the hammy. Um, and now fafita with that. 0:08:51.750 --> 0:08:54.710 That's silly. Silly. 0:08:54.990 --> 0:08:55.829 Oh the judiciary. 0:08:55.870 --> 0:08:57.230 Oh come on man. That was a. 0:08:57.429 --> 0:08:58.870 Not. Not many go there and win. 0:08:59.150 --> 0:09:02.069 No. Like what was that? You can't challenge that silly challenge. 0:09:02.510 --> 0:09:04.270 Um that was a that was a bicycle kick. The 0:09:04.309 --> 0:09:07.390 soccer bicycle kick. Like it was just so overt that 0:09:07.429 --> 0:09:09.390 I don't know why they challenged it because it kicked 0:09:09.390 --> 0:09:12.710 him straight in the head. Um, look, I don't know, I. 0:09:13.470 --> 0:09:17.150 Soft tissue injuries. They more and more prevalent aren't they? 0:09:17.670 --> 0:09:19.150 Is the game so fast? 0:09:19.190 --> 0:09:21.110 Is it because of the game so fast is because 0:09:21.110 --> 0:09:23.630 of how we're training. Is it because of the grounds 0:09:23.630 --> 0:09:24.230 we train on? 0:09:24.270 --> 0:09:26.430 I think it might be a combination of everything. You know, 0:09:26.470 --> 0:09:28.790 a combination of all of that, the training methods these 0:09:28.790 --> 0:09:32.949 days and then the physicality and the speed of the games, obviously, 0:09:32.950 --> 0:09:35.790 the fatigue factor that kicks into the games this year 0:09:35.790 --> 0:09:38.829 in particular with, um, how fast it is with the, 0:09:38.870 --> 0:09:42.390 the 60 games, obviously the six games have been reined 0:09:42.390 --> 0:09:44.670 back big time haven't they. When we first. 0:09:44.710 --> 0:09:45.230 Yes. 0:09:45.350 --> 0:09:48.589 Um got got started this year in the competition. But 0:09:48.590 --> 0:09:51.160 I reckon all of it's a contributing factor to why 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:51.960 we're getting the injuries. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.359 Let me ask you this. Rabbitohs are seventh on 24 points. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.320 Behind them are the Cowboys on 24. Sea Eagles 22, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:02.480 Bulldogs 22. Storm Raiders on 20. Is this like rule 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.200 a line through the Rabbitohs time yet or not? 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.120 Oh not yet. No not yet for me. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:07.040 But where are they coming? 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:08.720 At the moment they're in seventh. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.480 So you've got to think the Cowboys. I think the 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:11.480 Cowboys will make the eight. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:12.640 Sea Eagles. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:13.960 No probably not. 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:15.200 They're gonna have to turn it around quick. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.760 It opens the door for the Bulldogs storm and Raiders. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:18.199 Yeah. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.520 Storm. I think storm Bulldogs. 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.880 It's hard isn't it. Because storm you look and you 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.240 go no monster. Yeah, he's out for a while. 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.720 Um, they play this week with all their injuries. 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.680 Yeah. And Canberra. No. Hudson. Young. Achilles. What about that? 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.280 There's the heartbeat of their storm. 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:35.840 Warbrick goes for the storm. 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.040 Jahrome Hughes is back this week. 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:38.920 He comes back, doesn't he? Yeah. Yep. Yep. 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.600 So he's just on the Bulldogs elephant in the room. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.640 How much better do they look with Sean O'Sullivan in 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:44.160 the halves. 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.240 Hello hello. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.400 How better much better did they. Yeah. But then the 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.120 team comes out this week. Stephen Crichton. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.240 That's all that, um, Toby Sexton was doing last year. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.120 But what O'Sullivan was doing, that's all Toby Sexton was doing. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:57.640 He was steering. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.200 Him around, straightening him up. Yeah. He was getting their 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.120 forwards to run lines. He's getting decoys. There was no 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:09.520 confusion about who was who in the zoo. Yep. I 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.840 don't know. Beggars belief. We wouldn't have him at number seven. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.840 Crazy. We'll get into the preview coming up a little 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.920 bit later. Um, boys, I'm reliably told that the board 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.560 members of the Saint George-illawarra Dragons listen to this podcast, 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.520 and that's what swayed their decision. Um, so Dean young, 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.240 have you ever brushes for an interview? We will remember. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:26.720 Yes. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.240 Congratulations. In all seriousness. Um, everyone says what a wonderful 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.360 job he's doing down there. He's a mate of yours. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.680 You work pretty closely with him. Um, I think the 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:35.720 right call has been made, hasn't it? 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.520 Yeah. Really, really happy for Deano. Um, when we found 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.760 out the other day, um, mate, he's done a he's 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.480 done a really good job and, and I am a 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.839 little bit biased because I'm really good mates with him. Um, 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.290 but you could see as soon as he took over. Uh, 0:11:49.530 --> 0:11:52.090 everyone knew what he stood for. You know, everyone knew 0:11:52.090 --> 0:11:56.210 where they stood in terms of the players. And, um, 0:11:56.250 --> 0:11:59.250 he's made changes there that he believed needed to be made. 0:11:59.250 --> 0:12:03.170 And all the players are being held accountable. And you 0:12:03.170 --> 0:12:06.090 can see that like that, you know, they took the 0:12:06.130 --> 0:12:08.770 Warriors to the death and probably had a few calls going. Well, 0:12:08.770 --> 0:12:12.290 we called that game didn't we. The, the um forward. 0:12:12.770 --> 0:12:15.210 Well the forward pass was an out and out forward pass. 0:12:15.210 --> 0:12:17.850 And then the, the um escort on Val Holmes was 0:12:17.850 --> 0:12:21.970 just ridiculous. And it's been proven that um but anyway I'm, 0:12:21.970 --> 0:12:24.449 I'm stoked for him. Um, you know, he'll, he'll want 0:12:24.450 --> 0:12:28.449 to finish off this season really strongly before the cavalry arrive, 0:12:28.450 --> 0:12:31.730 I suppose you would say all those signings and you 0:12:31.730 --> 0:12:34.569 had those guys into the mix of what they've already 0:12:34.570 --> 0:12:37.890 got with all those young guys. You know hopefully there's 0:12:37.890 --> 0:12:39.730 some good times ahead. Hopefully you can turn them around 0:12:39.770 --> 0:12:41.890 pretty quick and get them going for 2020. 0:12:42.050 --> 0:12:43.890 I like what he said to me this week. He 0:12:43.890 --> 0:12:46.330 didn't put any expectations around next year because it's easy 0:12:46.330 --> 0:12:47.940 to fall into that trap. Oh yeah, we're going to 0:12:47.940 --> 0:12:50.260 play finals. All he said is I want the fans 0:12:50.260 --> 0:12:51.860 to be proud of their football team. I like that. 0:12:51.900 --> 0:12:54.700 Yeah, well, I'll put expectations on them because they'll they'll 0:12:54.700 --> 0:12:56.340 make the eight. Yeah I reckon they will with that 0:12:56.340 --> 0:12:56.820 team I think. 0:12:56.860 --> 0:12:57.699 Oh they're gone. 0:12:57.740 --> 0:13:00.300 I think, I think they've got the best young forwards 0:13:00.300 --> 0:13:02.900 in the game in their forward pack who we're speaking 0:13:02.900 --> 0:13:05.380 about the couch and uh Egan and Hamish. 0:13:05.420 --> 0:13:06.459 Well they've signed some good players. 0:13:06.620 --> 0:13:09.460 And they've signed the guys who've signed, you know, especially 0:13:09.460 --> 0:13:12.100 I'm really excited about Metcalfe and and Drinkwater in the 0:13:12.100 --> 0:13:13.220 back line. They've got the forwards. 0:13:13.220 --> 0:13:14.540 Might not be finished yet either. 0:13:14.580 --> 0:13:16.020 Yeah. Oh whoa whoa whoa. 0:13:18.420 --> 0:13:19.260 You can't hold. 0:13:19.460 --> 0:13:20.980 You dropped a bomb on me. 0:13:21.540 --> 0:13:22.180 Who you got? 0:13:22.980 --> 0:13:25.340 No. No one. Who's coming. I know nothing. 0:13:25.380 --> 0:13:26.500 I know nothing. 0:13:26.540 --> 0:13:28.420 I just thought I'd throw that out there. 0:13:28.900 --> 0:13:29.220 No, but. 0:13:29.940 --> 0:13:32.100 I'm in the bad books anyway with Dina at the moment. 0:13:32.100 --> 0:13:34.859 I borrowed his whiteboard out of his office last night 0:13:34.900 --> 0:13:36.059 and I forgot to return it. 0:13:36.780 --> 0:13:38.340 So who are they? Who's coming? 0:13:38.380 --> 0:13:40.860 I text him last night. I'm like, oh, mate, I left. 0:13:41.540 --> 0:13:42.140 Him a tangy. 0:13:42.340 --> 0:13:42.660 Drink. 0:13:42.660 --> 0:13:43.300 Drinkwater. 0:13:43.340 --> 0:13:43.980 Metcalfe. 0:13:44.020 --> 0:13:44.300 Connor. 0:13:44.300 --> 0:13:48.270 Watson, Connor. Watson. Phillip. Sami. Phillip. Sami. Wow. There's five 0:13:48.950 --> 0:13:52.190 like above average first graders. Yeah, he's in there. 0:13:52.390 --> 0:13:54.510 I wouldn't be surprised if there might be one on 0:13:54.510 --> 0:13:56.070 1 or 2 more to add to. 0:13:56.110 --> 0:13:57.070 That dummy half. 0:13:57.670 --> 0:13:58.589 We'll have to wait and see. 0:13:58.750 --> 0:14:01.309 Yeah, I know we got Watson to play number nine. 0:14:01.309 --> 0:14:03.870 He could with little but yeah. 0:14:04.190 --> 0:14:04.990 Come on, tell us. 0:14:05.030 --> 0:14:06.110 I don't know anything. 0:14:06.150 --> 0:14:06.990 Oh you do. 0:14:07.190 --> 0:14:07.989 I don't. 0:14:08.270 --> 0:14:08.790 You don't. 0:14:08.870 --> 0:14:10.390 Know enough to say that. There's more coming. 0:14:10.390 --> 0:14:13.429 I just said I wouldn't be surprised if there was 0:14:13.550 --> 0:14:14.630 1 or 2 more signings. 0:14:14.670 --> 0:14:16.070 So would you say it's a four door or a back? 0:14:16.110 --> 0:14:16.670 I don't know. 0:14:18.630 --> 0:14:20.110 Well, why don't we just do what everyone else does 0:14:20.110 --> 0:14:21.430 in rugby league? Let's make it up. 0:14:21.470 --> 0:14:22.670 Make it up anyway. 0:14:22.950 --> 0:14:24.910 Making it a name out there. 0:14:25.630 --> 0:14:26.590 Um, a couple of names. 0:14:26.750 --> 0:14:32.150 Who's going there? Moseley. Otto. Nathan Cleary. The next year. 0:14:33.470 --> 0:14:36.550 I spotted Nathan Cleary down in Wollongong with Mary. I 0:14:36.550 --> 0:14:38.110 think they were just down there having a look at Wollongong, 0:14:38.110 --> 0:14:39.150 but they were close to the stadium. 0:14:39.150 --> 0:14:40.190 I thought he meant McGregor. 0:14:40.550 --> 0:14:41.070 No, no. 0:14:41.990 --> 0:14:43.790 What's he doing with Mary McGregor in Wollongong? 0:14:43.830 --> 0:14:47.550 What do you call him? The eagle. The eagle. The eagle? Yeah. Anyway. Congratulations, Dean. 0:14:47.590 --> 0:14:47.910 Well done. 0:14:47.950 --> 0:14:48.230 Dean. 0:14:49.190 --> 0:14:51.270 And just on that, I think, um, his dad, um. 0:14:51.310 --> 0:14:54.550 Albert legend of the Dragon's legend of our game. Um, um, 0:14:54.590 --> 0:14:58.710 made a very selfless act, um, by removing himself from the, 0:14:59.150 --> 0:15:01.190 the leagues club. Yeah. Just to say that. 0:15:01.190 --> 0:15:01.950 The chairman role. 0:15:01.950 --> 0:15:03.870 Yeah, the chairman's role. Just say I don't want any 0:15:03.870 --> 0:15:06.950 innuendo to come my way because I'm here and he's there. Yeah. 0:15:06.990 --> 0:15:07.950 So smart. 0:15:07.950 --> 0:15:09.070 Move. Takes a brave man to do that. 0:15:09.390 --> 0:15:10.150 Great man. Albert. 0:15:10.270 --> 0:15:11.150 Fantastic bloke. 0:15:11.190 --> 0:15:11.550 Yeah. 0:15:11.590 --> 0:15:13.910 He's an old police officer. Every time. 0:15:15.910 --> 0:15:16.150 Ever. 0:15:16.470 --> 0:15:18.350 Every time I've interviewed him or spoken to him or 0:15:18.350 --> 0:15:19.870 met him, I still get scared. 0:15:21.110 --> 0:15:22.150 So he should, he said. 0:15:22.230 --> 0:15:23.710 I remember I was I was at a conference on 0:15:23.710 --> 0:15:26.270 the Gold Coast last year that I emcee and I 0:15:26.270 --> 0:15:28.430 was I was I'm dropping names here, but I was 0:15:28.430 --> 0:15:31.110 out the front waiting for an Uber for Dawn Fraser 0:15:31.190 --> 0:15:33.990 because she was going back to wherever she was going. And, uh, 0:15:33.990 --> 0:15:35.750 Albert was sitting over in the corner and I just 0:15:35.750 --> 0:15:39.470 heard this, Mr. Levy, I need to see you. And 0:15:39.470 --> 0:15:41.910 I thought, oh, no, what have I done? But he's 0:15:41.910 --> 0:15:42.710 just got that presence. 0:15:42.910 --> 0:15:43.920 Yeah. He yeah, yeah. 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:44.640 He's a great. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.880 Man. Very good man. Um, the other one we need 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.000 to touch on is the P and G Chiefs. Um 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.440 Joey Manu um Anthony Seibold to work under Willie Peters. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.200 Joey Manu uh potentially another marquee signing and all this 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.040 sort of Zac Lomax speculation as well. Uh, he might 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.880 be going to the Chiefs after his stint in rugby. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:02.800 M g thoughts. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.280 I think what it does, if they get these calibre 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.320 of players, it accelerates their anticipation and where they should 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.600 be finishing in the first couple of years. I think 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.720 if they keep getting the players they keep getting, they're 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.400 going to win a comp like Melbourne in the first 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.360 two years of being in the comp, like they are 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.680 assembling something very special. And because they can afford to, 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.720 you know all this, but the sustainability is going to 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.080 be the question we'll ask. Uh, as for Sebald, I 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.680 think that's his perfect role. Um, the irony of this 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:33.240 is that in 2018, Willie Peters was the assistant and 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.760 Sebald was a head coach at Souths. Um, I, I 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.760 love the fact that he's going, I hope he takes 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.640 the role because I think Anthony Sebald is a fantastic 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.130 assistant coach. I think he's got one of the smartest 0:16:44.130 --> 0:16:46.450 footy brains that. I've spoken to him a lot about 0:16:46.450 --> 0:16:48.730 footy and he he sees things that not other people 0:16:48.730 --> 0:16:52.210 can do. I think he just has trouble articulating and 0:16:52.210 --> 0:16:54.370 to throw up your league players too much information is 0:16:54.370 --> 0:16:57.010 exactly that. We want to hear basic stuff. You want 0:16:57.010 --> 0:16:59.610 to hear that run. They're great tackle. They're not this. 0:16:59.650 --> 0:17:00.370 Simplify. 0:17:00.410 --> 0:17:03.330 Simplify everything. I think I think with Willie Peters at 0:17:03.330 --> 0:17:06.010 the helm and they're building well PNG there's no two 0:17:06.010 --> 0:17:08.090 ways about it. I mean if they get Joey, Manu, 0:17:08.490 --> 0:17:12.369 Mike and Zac Lomax in that backline with Jarome Luai who. 0:17:12.650 --> 0:17:12.850 I'm. 0:17:13.130 --> 0:17:14.530 And and Alex Johnson. 0:17:15.369 --> 0:17:16.889 Can I I'm anti-climax. 0:17:17.250 --> 0:17:17.609 Yeah. 0:17:17.609 --> 0:17:20.370 Well and let me explain why and I and I'll 0:17:20.369 --> 0:17:23.490 get your thoughts. I look at Zac Lomax right. And 0:17:23.490 --> 0:17:25.889 the trail of destruction that he's left behind him. Like 0:17:25.890 --> 0:17:28.170 don't get me wrong. I think he's a wonderfully gifted, 0:17:28.210 --> 0:17:31.770 talented player, an athlete. Good luck to him. He made 0:17:31.770 --> 0:17:33.570 a choice to leave rugby league to sign with a 0:17:33.570 --> 0:17:36.810 competition that hadn't yet established itself. He put himself and thought, 0:17:36.810 --> 0:17:38.530 oh crap, what am I going to do? Yeah, he 0:17:38.530 --> 0:17:40.770 reached out. Well, rugby reached out to him. They gave 0:17:40.770 --> 0:17:43.700 him a lifeline before he's even really had a crack 0:17:43.740 --> 0:17:46.859 at rugby. He's already thinking what's next? So he goes 0:17:46.859 --> 0:17:50.100 on to potentially sign with the PNG Chiefs. If I'm 0:17:50.100 --> 0:17:52.900 Willie Peters and if I'm Anthony Seibold and if I'm 0:17:52.900 --> 0:17:56.620 Michael Chalmers, I'm thinking to myself is this guy going 0:17:56.660 --> 0:17:58.780 to be good for my playing group and you know, 0:17:58.820 --> 0:18:01.780 team harmony, everything else. Because as an outsider looking in 0:18:01.780 --> 0:18:03.379 and I don't know Zac Lomax and I want to 0:18:03.380 --> 0:18:06.460 preface this by saying it, um, it just looks to 0:18:06.460 --> 0:18:08.500 me like it's all about Zac Lomax and it always 0:18:08.500 --> 0:18:10.580 has been about Zac Lomax. Is that fair or unfair? 0:18:10.619 --> 0:18:12.700 Well, I don't know him either. Personally, I don't know. 0:18:12.740 --> 0:18:16.660 I haven't I haven't heard any players or coaches talk 0:18:16.700 --> 0:18:18.980 about him um in that way. I know what he's 0:18:18.980 --> 0:18:22.139 like as a footballer. He's fantastic. But he seems to 0:18:22.140 --> 0:18:25.139 get restless really quick. Um and he seems to be 0:18:25.180 --> 0:18:28.939 in a hurry to, to do to find the next 0:18:29.140 --> 0:18:32.460 high as far as footy goes. Let's, let's face facts. 0:18:32.460 --> 0:18:34.780 We're in this game for hopefully ten years if you're lucky. 0:18:35.100 --> 0:18:38.619 Um I don't I think I think he fits the 0:18:38.660 --> 0:18:41.939 the PNG chief's mantra perfectly. They're in a hurry to 0:18:41.940 --> 0:18:44.580 get somewhere quick. So is Jack Lomax. He's always in 0:18:44.580 --> 0:18:47.740 a hurry to go somewhere. P and G are as well. PA, 0:18:47.740 --> 0:18:49.139 want to hit the ground running? If you want to 0:18:49.140 --> 0:18:50.899 hit the ground running. You got. You got to have 0:18:50.900 --> 0:18:52.460 a player like Jack Lomax in your back line. 0:18:53.619 --> 0:18:56.100 Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Um, it's going to 0:18:56.100 --> 0:18:57.340 be really interesting. 0:18:57.660 --> 0:18:58.859 Willie Peters is your mate. 0:18:58.900 --> 0:19:03.260 Well. Well look, without um. No, actually, how do I 0:19:03.300 --> 0:19:07.300 frame this with trying to be as respectful as I can? 0:19:07.859 --> 0:19:10.859 It's going to take Willie and the coaching staff to 0:19:10.900 --> 0:19:14.699 manage Zach and the playing group from, you know what 0:19:14.700 --> 0:19:18.619 I've heard previously from other coaches and other clubs and whatnot. 0:19:19.060 --> 0:19:21.220 Zach on his day, he's an unbelievable player. I, I 0:19:21.380 --> 0:19:23.460 do know Zach. I know him well. He's down my way. 0:19:23.500 --> 0:19:25.580 I see him bump into him every now and then, 0:19:25.580 --> 0:19:28.699 not even for a fair while now. And you know, 0:19:28.740 --> 0:19:31.700 I understand your comments leave you about about Zach, but 0:19:31.700 --> 0:19:34.180 I just think that Willie's going to have to, you know, 0:19:34.340 --> 0:19:35.859 manage Zach. 0:19:35.859 --> 0:19:37.540 And is he a good man? Manager Willie? 0:19:37.780 --> 0:19:41.429 Uh, well, I'm assuming so. He's done a really good job. And, 0:19:41.470 --> 0:19:44.510 you know, the conversations I've had with Willie, he's probably 0:19:44.510 --> 0:19:46.950 been tested over there at Hull KR with a number 0:19:46.950 --> 0:19:48.869 of his signings over there. And he believes that he 0:19:48.869 --> 0:19:51.830 can get the best out of Zak because he comes to. 0:19:51.869 --> 0:19:53.550 Let me throw the other curveball in here. Right. And 0:19:53.550 --> 0:19:56.550 I'm sorry to interject there. The other really interesting part 0:19:56.550 --> 0:19:57.869 for mine is, and I was thinking about this the 0:19:57.869 --> 0:20:02.990 other day when Zac Lomax is at clubland in Sydney. Mhm. 0:20:03.030 --> 0:20:05.270 He goes home to the south coast. So you've got 0:20:05.270 --> 0:20:07.270 your alone time. You're away from Zac Lomax if he's 0:20:07.270 --> 0:20:09.149 if he's hard to handle. Again, I don't know how 0:20:09.750 --> 0:20:11.790 they're going to be living in a compound together. Yeah. 0:20:11.830 --> 0:20:15.149 So if he gets on people's nerves. Yep. If he 0:20:15.190 --> 0:20:17.990 wants to sort of run his own race. How's that 0:20:17.990 --> 0:20:21.510 going to go? That. That's my question mark. I'm just putting. 0:20:21.510 --> 0:20:23.350 It out again. That's that's going to that's going to 0:20:23.350 --> 0:20:25.669 be on Willie and Michael Chalmers. And and they believe 0:20:25.670 --> 0:20:27.230 they can get the best out of him. And it 0:20:27.230 --> 0:20:29.790 seems like I, I don't think Willie will mind me 0:20:29.790 --> 0:20:31.950 saying this, but Willie and I have had conversations about it. 0:20:31.950 --> 0:20:33.910 And they believe that they can get the best out 0:20:33.950 --> 0:20:37.030 of us, out of Zac when he gets there, and 0:20:37.030 --> 0:20:39.600 they believe they can manage him. And you know, they've got, 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.880 they've got some, some um profiles there don't they like 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:44.159 already with Jerome and. 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:45.520 Well they got some big personalities. 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.919 But one thing I will say about PNG is I 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.560 want to see him sign some very good forwards. Yes. 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.520 They got you know they're talking low um Manu Lomax 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.800 you know Lou I Alex Johnston you know they've got 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:01.120 Connor Watson for 28. But they need some. They need 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:02.879 some steal up front. 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:06.720 Although although Cooper buy would have been a no brainer like. 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:07.800 He resigned it. 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:07.919 The. 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:08.720 Titans Titans. 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:10.479 Against the wishes of his. 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.359 Dad dad. Yeah yeah. But I reckon they need some 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.600 key forwards. Yeah. One of the things the Dolphins did 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.200 really good. They went and got the Bromwich brothers. They 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:22.199 got uh Kaufusi and there's some real steal in their pack. Yep. 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.639 Um they need to go and get some, some of 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:25.119 those sorts of. 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:26.640 Because you can have the flashy flashy. 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:28.919 That's right. I just think they need, they need. And 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.800 you know I'm sure that they're working on that. Yeah. I'm. Yeah. 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.520 I'm sure. Willie and, uh, and I think it's Liam 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.330 who's the recruitment guy there? I think I think they're 0:21:38.330 --> 0:21:40.850 working on that, but they've got to get some good forwards. 0:21:41.570 --> 0:21:43.330 Michael James came in to see us in the commentary 0:21:43.330 --> 0:21:45.690 box recently with his two little boys and his little 0:21:45.730 --> 0:21:48.410 boy's excited about PNG. We turned around and said to him, 0:21:48.410 --> 0:21:50.970 are you excited about PNG? They said, nah, we're not going. 0:21:53.650 --> 0:21:54.490 Good luck Chevy. 0:21:54.530 --> 0:21:56.330 Oh, great. Advertisement. That is. 0:21:57.650 --> 0:21:59.649 Let's get into the preview.

Uh, 0:22:15.770 --> 0:22:18.609 Mitch Moses is back to go head to head with 0:22:18.609 --> 0:22:21.370 his origin halves partner at the Panthers, Nathan Cleary M 0:22:21.369 --> 0:22:22.250 g who are you tipping? 0:22:22.290 --> 0:22:26.130 Uh, Penrith after last week's loss to the Broncos. Um, 0:22:26.170 --> 0:22:28.290 and Milky didn't get across the line. I'm saying Penrith 0:22:28.290 --> 0:22:31.010 into Milky to score a hat trick. 0:22:31.330 --> 0:22:31.850 Piglet. 0:22:32.130 --> 0:22:34.250 Yeah. Look, I can't go with the eels this week. 0:22:34.250 --> 0:22:36.930 I've got to go. The Panthers. Panthers to win March 2nd. 0:22:37.170 --> 0:22:41.050 20 outsiders the Roosters favored here at $1.67. Look they. 0:22:41.570 --> 0:22:43.810 They weren't at their best last week. The. The Roosters. 0:22:43.810 --> 0:22:47.010 I reckon that $2.20. The better. Odds are a little juicy. 0:22:47.130 --> 0:22:47.930 Thoughts questions. 0:22:48.090 --> 0:22:50.970 Let's go back to. This goes back into the team. 0:22:50.970 --> 0:22:54.450 Knights haven't defeated the Roosters in Newcastle since 2019. Levy. 0:22:54.490 --> 0:22:56.090 Yeah and you know what? If this game was on 0:22:56.090 --> 0:22:59.450 a Sunday afternoon at 2:00 or 4:00, I'd be leaning 0:22:59.450 --> 0:23:03.330 more towards the Knights. At the moment. I think that 0:23:03.369 --> 0:23:07.450 the Roosters are a better night time footballers. Um. I 0:23:07.570 --> 0:23:08.690 could not go against the Roosters. 0:23:09.090 --> 0:23:11.890 Roosters just on your stat, piggy. The Knights haven't won. 0:23:11.970 --> 0:23:14.689 They haven't beaten the Roosters in Newcastle since 2019. The 0:23:14.690 --> 0:23:17.530 Knights have won their last five games at McDonald Jones Stadium. 0:23:17.570 --> 0:23:19.810 Roosters have won nine of their last ten games against 0:23:19.810 --> 0:23:20.170 the Knights. 0:23:20.170 --> 0:23:20.850 Thank you very much. 0:23:21.050 --> 0:23:23.250 Dylan Lewis has scored nine tries in the last nine games. 0:23:23.410 --> 0:23:26.650 I did a big. I did a big man sniff. Then, uh, 0:23:26.650 --> 0:23:28.610 we go to the Friday night game. We're off to 0:23:28.609 --> 0:23:31.690 a core stadium. Uh, piggy. South Sydney in the storm. 0:23:31.730 --> 0:23:36.300 Storm dollar 80, South Sydney $2 for obvious reasons, without the. 0:23:36.300 --> 0:23:39.740 The key players. Souths Care and Dementia Training Australia teaming 0:23:39.740 --> 0:23:42.140 up to tackle dementia, which is now the leading cause 0:23:42.140 --> 0:23:44.340 of death in Australia. Their partnership will be in the 0:23:44.340 --> 0:23:47.379 spotlight at a core when Dementia Training Australia will be 0:23:47.380 --> 0:23:50.980 the Rabbitohs game day partner for their clash. Dtas Remi 0:23:50.980 --> 0:23:53.540 the Wombat will join Reggie the Rabbit on field during 0:23:53.540 --> 0:23:55.900 the game and the lead a stadium wide dance off 0:23:55.900 --> 0:23:58.860 at half time. So there's a great opportunity. Fantastic sideline. 0:23:58.859 --> 0:23:59.980 I Josh Murray to get involved. 0:24:00.020 --> 0:24:01.859 Yeah he should get involved in that shouldn't he on 0:24:01.900 --> 0:24:04.900 Friday night that'd be great. Uh as in I need 0:24:04.900 --> 0:24:07.180 to toss a coin in this one because I've got 0:24:07.180 --> 0:24:07.699 no idea. 0:24:07.740 --> 0:24:08.220 Yeah. 0:24:08.260 --> 0:24:08.939 I don't know. 0:24:09.460 --> 0:24:12.260 I was, I was, I was, I was, I was 0:24:12.260 --> 0:24:14.540 Souths until I heard Duncan was out as well. 0:24:14.580 --> 0:24:15.100 Yeah. 0:24:15.140 --> 0:24:16.379 Cameron, Murray and Duncan. 0:24:17.220 --> 0:24:20.180 Still got a decent pack.

Look, um, after the judiciary last night, um, we 0:24:46.670 --> 0:24:51.670 saw that, uh, you got three weeks for that? Yeah. 0:24:51.710 --> 0:24:53.429 Funny looking tackle, wasn't it? It was like a. 0:24:53.470 --> 0:24:54.350 Grade three contact. 0:24:54.350 --> 0:24:55.590 Yeah. It was, it was like it was like a 0:24:55.590 --> 0:24:59.190 speed hump, but had his back towards the player. Thompson. And, uh, 0:24:59.190 --> 0:25:01.430 the young Javon Andrews, if he gets if he gets 0:25:01.430 --> 0:25:02.230 a run at half. 0:25:02.350 --> 0:25:04.390 Um, is he the first Javon to ever play? 0:25:04.710 --> 0:25:07.909 For sure. He is a ironically, he's out of the 0:25:07.910 --> 0:25:11.510 exact same mold as Lucky Galvin. Wow. 6364. 0:25:11.550 --> 0:25:12.750 Big big running. 0:25:12.950 --> 0:25:15.030 Really sleek.

Um. Warriors. 0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:28.679 Not those ones. 0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:29.480 Warriors. 0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:35.280 Warriors. Right. Uh. Cowboys. Broncos. Queensland. Derby. Broncos, Broncos. 0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:38.240 Here come the Broncos. 0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:43.400 Dollar 62 Cowboys $2.30. Outside the better odds in Townsville cracker. 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:47.560 This is an absolute cracker. I'm going the Broncos Maggi 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.440 boy's going to wind them up and let him go. 0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.560 Yeah I'm with you. I think we're going to witness 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:53.800 something pretty special. I don't think they're going to make it, 0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:55.399 but they're going to cause a lot a lot of 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.359 drama in the process. I think that what we saw 0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:00.439 from against Penrith last week was when they got the 0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.240 whole team on the field at once. They are the 0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:05.919 most dangerous team in the competition, bar none. Mhm. Um 0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:08.639 so I think this is what a game this is. 0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:10.600 It's a that's good odds but for Cowboys. 230. 0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.479 That's what I'm thinking. Townsville. Yeah. Mhm. Um we go 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:16.960 to the blockbuster at 2:00 on Sunday. Saint George Illawarra 0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:19.159 and the Gold Coast. The battle for the wooden spoon 0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:21.960 dollar 90 Dragons dollar 90 the Titans. Even the punters 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:22.400 don't care. 0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:24.359 Well I'm going the Dragons if they can get a 0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.480 few decent refereeing decisions this week. 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.520 Well, you know what? Both. You know what the irony 0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:31.689 of that both of these two teams have copped it 0:27:31.690 --> 0:27:32.250 most this year? 0:27:32.290 --> 0:27:32.730 Oh haven't. 0:27:33.490 --> 0:27:35.489 You? I think that's indicative of where you are in 0:27:35.490 --> 0:27:37.890 the ladder. Yep. They are. It's just the psyche. Yeah. 0:27:37.930 --> 0:27:40.169 You go oh that's. Yeah. No let them have it. 0:27:40.210 --> 0:27:41.770 Is there anyone who's played for both clubs that we 0:27:41.770 --> 0:27:42.930 can make it their cup. 0:27:43.090 --> 0:27:44.889 Well it's Clint Gutherson 250th. 0:27:44.930 --> 0:27:45.889 Yeah. He's got 250. 0:27:46.050 --> 0:27:47.250 He didn't play for the Titans. But did. 0:27:47.250 --> 0:27:48.889 He. No. He hasn't played for the Titans. 0:27:49.170 --> 0:27:50.850 Uh, no. No one no one there I can. 0:27:50.890 --> 0:27:53.890 There's no current players I don't think is there that 0:27:53.890 --> 0:27:54.649 have played for. 0:27:54.690 --> 0:27:58.129 Oh look I think the dollar 90 each. I think 0:27:58.170 --> 0:28:02.930 um this is going to be a fantastic game. Uh dragons. 0:28:03.210 --> 0:28:04.450 Dragons. 0:28:04.490 --> 0:28:05.730 Dragons dragons. 0:28:05.770 --> 0:28:08.489 Dragons and then the game to wrap up the round. Uh, 0:28:08.490 --> 0:28:10.850 the better odds. How good's having a betting sponsor in 0:28:10.850 --> 0:28:15.409 our podcast sponsorship? You know, manly, manly and Sharky's at 0:28:15.410 --> 0:28:18.730 Four Pines Park. Sharks, dollar 62. Manly $2.30. 0:28:19.530 --> 0:28:22.410 The battle of the beaches. I will say that, um, 0:28:22.410 --> 0:28:25.770 I think they've got the hippy hippy shakes, the seagulls. Um, 0:28:25.810 --> 0:28:27.570 I'm liking the shark. He seemed to have turned a 0:28:27.570 --> 0:28:30.980 corner and I don't know who it is, but they've 0:28:30.980 --> 0:28:32.260 got a new assistant coach. 0:28:32.859 --> 0:28:34.939 Oh, the French play the French. French rugby bloke. 0:28:34.980 --> 0:28:38.100 What's his what's his role? Because ever since he's arrived, 0:28:38.460 --> 0:28:40.620 they look different. Sharkies. I don't know what his role is. 0:28:40.620 --> 0:28:43.300 I'd like to find out more about this Pierre Bourdieu, 0:28:43.700 --> 0:28:44.540 if that's his name. 0:28:45.540 --> 0:28:45.979 Not his name. 0:28:46.020 --> 0:28:48.700 No, he said he's French. 0:28:49.100 --> 0:28:51.660 I'm pretty sure he's French. French rugby. Yeah, but. 0:28:52.220 --> 0:28:54.940 Look, I think, um. Look, they they look good. The 0:28:54.940 --> 0:28:58.060 sharkies at the moment. They're welcoming back Raymond this week 0:28:58.060 --> 0:29:00.540 and hadn't been named. I think he had a neck 0:29:00.540 --> 0:29:04.540 injury so. But anyway, um yeah for mine the shock is. 0:29:04.620 --> 0:29:05.979 I'm going to go the sharkies as well.
