The old pig star. We 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.000 can't talk about that. Otherwise we might end up in 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:39.800 some strife, although it couldn't be any worse than another 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.680 coat at the moment. But that's a story for another day. 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.320 Speaking of before the show, um, you've come in blowing 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.199 up today. Yes, about television's night of nights. And I'm 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.120 waiting on our invitation to the podcast Night of Nights. 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:52.920 You've got a drama with the Logies. 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:54.960 Oh, I'm not so much the Logies, not so much 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.280 anyone individually, but it's they come up with the top 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.540 30 shows on Australian TV of all time. And look, 0:01:02.540 --> 0:01:04.580 I like Kath and Kim, but it's probably top ten 0:01:04.580 --> 0:01:06.540 but not number one. Um. 0:01:06.860 --> 0:01:08.220 Number one really. 0:01:08.260 --> 0:01:09.900 I should have the list with me. But it was, 0:01:09.940 --> 0:01:13.100 I thought to myself driving in today, what was, what's 0:01:13.100 --> 0:01:16.779 been your top maybe 2 or 3 shows of Australian TV. 0:01:16.819 --> 0:01:19.140 Oh well, home and away neighbours that have to be 0:01:19.140 --> 0:01:19.940 up there wouldn't they. 0:01:19.980 --> 0:01:22.420 They'd have to be. So you're you're too young to 0:01:22.459 --> 0:01:25.300 see police rescue. Oh, sweetie. 0:01:25.340 --> 0:01:27.460 Oh, Gary. Sweet. Sonya. 0:01:27.500 --> 0:01:28.620 I never got into it, mate. 0:01:28.620 --> 0:01:31.860 They have sold off the centre point tower. Yeah. The best. 0:01:32.020 --> 0:01:33.220 Um, look, I. 0:01:33.260 --> 0:01:34.580 Well, what's your number then? 0:01:34.819 --> 0:01:37.300 So when I was about 13, the show come on 0:01:37.300 --> 0:01:43.140 TV called prisoner with with be Smith. Doreen. Vinegar tits. 0:01:44.300 --> 0:01:45.419 Who's. Vinegar tits. 0:01:45.500 --> 0:01:47.540 That was. That's what they called the, uh, the guards. 0:01:50.220 --> 0:01:51.900 I need to watch this. Honestly. 0:01:52.180 --> 0:01:55.380 I went, what? They can't say that on TV. So prisoners. 0:01:55.380 --> 0:01:58.100 My favourite, I think because a lot of my viewing 0:01:58.190 --> 0:01:59.950 was from overseas, like The Brady Bunch and. 0:01:59.990 --> 0:02:00.670 The yeah. 0:02:00.710 --> 0:02:01.309 Happy days. 0:02:01.390 --> 0:02:02.029 Happy days. 0:02:02.070 --> 0:02:04.990 You know, all that stuff Gomer Pyle. But back home, 0:02:04.990 --> 0:02:07.470 I suppose, um, I was used to being the game 0:02:07.510 --> 0:02:10.109 shows used to be a show called Blankety Blanks with 0:02:10.110 --> 0:02:13.510 Graham Kennedy. And that was kind of up after or 0:02:13.550 --> 0:02:17.670 before that was Celebrity Squares where they'd sit in these squares, 0:02:17.669 --> 0:02:19.549 all the celebrities, and they'd have someone ask him a 0:02:19.550 --> 0:02:23.269 question and they'd they'd say if they were right or wrong. Um, 0:02:23.270 --> 0:02:24.070 but I think, I think. 0:02:24.110 --> 0:02:26.950 I've got one for you. What? It's a knockout. 0:02:26.990 --> 0:02:28.709 That's the name of the game. 0:02:28.710 --> 0:02:31.709 It's a knockout. Was that in the top 30? I 0:02:31.710 --> 0:02:32.110 think so. 0:02:32.150 --> 0:02:33.470 I don't think it was in the top 100. 0:02:33.510 --> 0:02:36.870 No, I loved it's a knockout. Yeah. Um. Four teams. 0:02:37.150 --> 0:02:38.790 It was good. How sad they. 0:02:38.830 --> 0:02:41.070 Are. That have to be in the top. 0:02:41.110 --> 0:02:41.829 It was top ten. 0:02:41.910 --> 0:02:43.030 No it wasn't in the top ten. 0:02:43.070 --> 0:02:43.430 Wasn't. 0:02:43.430 --> 0:02:46.670 It. Nope. No, it wasn't in the top ten. You 0:02:46.669 --> 0:02:48.669 know what it was in French. All right. 0:02:49.990 --> 0:02:50.910 Well that's all. 0:02:51.590 --> 0:02:52.350 I never got into it. 0:02:52.389 --> 0:02:53.190 I never got into it. 0:02:53.230 --> 0:02:53.510 Yeah. 0:02:53.550 --> 0:02:53.950 Country. 0:02:53.990 --> 0:02:55.590 Practice, practice. Practice was awesome. 0:02:55.630 --> 0:02:56.109 Yeah. 0:02:56.150 --> 0:02:56.510 Fatso. 0:02:56.510 --> 0:02:57.810 The wombat is. 0:02:57.810 --> 0:03:01.010 Made. I think they're better than neighbours. And home and away, 0:03:01.010 --> 0:03:01.930 a country practice. 0:03:01.970 --> 0:03:04.609 Yeah. I was very young with country practice, but I 0:03:04.610 --> 0:03:05.530 still remember it. 0:03:05.930 --> 0:03:09.170 Do me before you do. Um, do me a favor 0:03:09.330 --> 0:03:13.930 when you get home today. YouTube number 96 and the box. Oh, 0:03:14.130 --> 0:03:16.489 these were shows that I weren't allowed to watch as, like, eight, 0:03:16.530 --> 0:03:18.450 nine year old go to bed and I'd be in 0:03:18.450 --> 0:03:19.130 the hallway going. 0:03:19.610 --> 0:03:19.890 Whew! 0:03:22.130 --> 0:03:24.090 Now I know why he sent me to bed. You bastards. 0:03:24.130 --> 0:03:26.730 Well, boys, let's get into the rugby league component. There 0:03:26.730 --> 0:03:29.049 hasn't there hasn't been a lot of huge issues this week. 0:03:29.050 --> 0:03:31.730 I think the, uh, the Swans drama sort of taken 0:03:31.730 --> 0:03:33.930 the shine away from everything else that's happening on in 0:03:33.930 --> 0:03:35.330 the world. And we're not going to we're not going 0:03:35.330 --> 0:03:38.410 to comment about that because it's, um, it's before a 0:03:38.450 --> 0:03:41.090 police and there's an investigation and players have been stood down. 0:03:41.090 --> 0:03:43.650 But I wanted to start today, boys. I was just 0:03:43.650 --> 0:03:45.530 going to have a look at the, the ladder here quickly. Right. 0:03:45.530 --> 0:03:47.650 So we've got a couple of weeks left until finals. 0:03:48.090 --> 0:03:51.050 And I reckon the the positions in the top eight 0:03:51.610 --> 0:03:53.690 are really, really interesting. So you've got the Roosters on 0:03:53.690 --> 0:03:56.820 top after their win over the weekend. Panthers a second 0:03:56.860 --> 0:03:59.220 same points as the Warriors in third. You got the 0:03:59.220 --> 0:04:02.100 Dolphins two points behind them. That's the top four. The 0:04:02.100 --> 0:04:04.180 sharks are two points behind them. After the loss on 0:04:04.180 --> 0:04:06.780 the weekend. And the loss to the Dragons, Knights are 0:04:06.780 --> 0:04:10.060 also on 32. Missing some players which is an incredible story. 0:04:10.180 --> 0:04:13.540 Rabbitohs on 30 points in seventh. Cowboys in eighth spot 0:04:13.580 --> 0:04:17.020 on 28. You've got the Bulldogs in ninth on 26. 0:04:17.060 --> 0:04:20.860 The Sea Eagles storm Raiders on 24 points. Does the 0:04:21.300 --> 0:04:24.940 top eight stay that way? What changes if any, happens 0:04:24.940 --> 0:04:26.020 to that top eight boys. 0:04:26.020 --> 0:04:29.060 Your thoughts are it stays stays for mine only because 0:04:29.060 --> 0:04:32.140 the Cowboys have got to buy. And there's a guaranteed 0:04:32.180 --> 0:04:34.460 two points in this competition. I think the doggies needed 0:04:34.460 --> 0:04:36.420 to beat Souths last week. Yeah agreed. And we've kind 0:04:36.460 --> 0:04:38.980 of said that um last week on the on the 0:04:39.020 --> 0:04:43.620 continuous call team as well. But um look the Newcastle 0:04:43.620 --> 0:04:47.180 Knights and while I'm on that uh the sharkies could 0:04:47.180 --> 0:04:49.620 be held to pay as well. We're looking at a 0:04:49.620 --> 0:04:52.180 top two, top two spot for the sharks a month ago. 0:04:52.220 --> 0:04:52.620 Yeah. 0:04:52.779 --> 0:04:55.000 Now a top four looks out of sight as well 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.320 because they've lost back to back against the Raiders. It 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.840 was the Raiders Dragons Dragons and then yeah um on 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.919 the weekend. So yeah look I um I think Newcastle 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.880 Knights are the story. But after getting the wooden spoon 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.080 last year, uh, now to have them where they are, 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.880 I think guys like, um, Trey Mooney's been fantastic for them. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.640 I think Shannon Smith has been great great signing. But 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.159 the coach is the biggest signing. Um Holbrook he's just 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.320 been I know him pretty well because he played one 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.280 year with me, um at Penrith while I was there 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.799 in my second stint. He's a great bloke. Just a real, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.000 real good bloke, you know. He's just got a smile 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.040 on his face all the time. He knows stuff tactically. Um, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.920 and the fact that they win games without their best 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.200 players proves they're a good team. Because pong was out 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.640 for a while. They were winning. Now the two Dylan's 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.080 out injured. They're winning Bradman best was out there winning. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:46.040 So that means the coaching um at the Knights is 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:46.640 top notch. 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.279 Yeah. It's interesting you say that I, I never met 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.040 Justin Holbrook until Vegas and we ran into him a 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.090 fair bit while we're over there. You're right. He's a really. 0:05:54.089 --> 0:05:54.610 Good, great. 0:05:54.610 --> 0:05:57.330 Bloke. And I can see, like I was talking to 0:05:57.330 --> 0:05:59.090 a few of the Knights players in Vegas and then 0:05:59.089 --> 0:06:00.690 what he sort of instilled in the club and all 0:06:00.690 --> 0:06:04.130 that sort of thing. He gives them enough leeway, but 0:06:04.130 --> 0:06:06.250 he's also given them some standards that they need to 0:06:06.290 --> 0:06:10.090 go by. So he hasn't restrained the playing group. It shows, 0:06:10.089 --> 0:06:12.650 but he has put some structures in place, which clearly 0:06:12.650 --> 0:06:13.130 is working. 0:06:13.170 --> 0:06:16.210 Yeah, he's done a great job, a tremendous job. They've 0:06:16.210 --> 0:06:18.850 got a bye as well. Knights still got to buy 0:06:18.850 --> 0:06:22.650 up their sleeve, so they have done an unbelievable job 0:06:22.650 --> 0:06:25.250 for every reason, Milligan said. I don't need to go 0:06:25.250 --> 0:06:27.530 over it, but all those injuries and to still get 0:06:27.529 --> 0:06:30.450 them up, you know, there's that time, the period there 0:06:30.450 --> 0:06:33.409 where the two Dylans went down and you went there, 0:06:33.410 --> 0:06:36.050 done that, guys, you're right. And respectfully, I think a 0:06:36.050 --> 0:06:38.450 lot of people went, oh, they're done. Yeah. And the 0:06:38.450 --> 0:06:41.450 fact that he has been able to keep them together, oh, 0:06:41.650 --> 0:06:45.010 this is bad. But who's the young back rower McEwan. No, 0:06:45.050 --> 0:06:45.570 the other one. 0:06:45.610 --> 0:06:47.170 Oh. Uh no. 0:06:47.330 --> 0:06:48.810 Something. Layla. Is it. 0:06:48.810 --> 0:06:50.810 From Penrith? He couldn't make Jersey Flegg at Penrith. 0:06:50.810 --> 0:06:55.110 Really know the way he's playing at the moment. He's unbelievable. 0:06:55.150 --> 0:06:57.710 Yeah both back rowers are from Penrith right. 0:06:57.750 --> 0:06:58.310 Oh there you. 0:06:58.310 --> 0:06:58.510 Go. 0:06:58.550 --> 0:07:00.670 And done a great job with those sort of players 0:07:00.670 --> 0:07:02.510 as well hasn't he. Like he's unearthed some. 0:07:02.550 --> 0:07:05.110 Yep. And so I thought he's been out for a month. Yeah. 0:07:05.550 --> 0:07:06.670 Like far out. 0:07:06.710 --> 0:07:10.510 They are like we talk about teams like Souths who 0:07:10.550 --> 0:07:13.110 maybe with the trail back could win the comp. But 0:07:13.110 --> 0:07:15.670 someone like Knights could have the that could be the 0:07:15.670 --> 0:07:16.670 real big fairy tale. Yeah. 0:07:16.750 --> 0:07:18.390 Alright. I'm gonna put you on the spot here. Right. 0:07:18.430 --> 0:07:20.950 Because I think people are interested and will be interested 0:07:20.950 --> 0:07:23.270 in your thoughts. So I want you to rule a 0:07:23.270 --> 0:07:26.870 line through the team just by saying yes in terms 0:07:26.870 --> 0:07:28.790 of winning the comp when I say the name. Right. 0:07:28.790 --> 0:07:29.390 So so if. 0:07:29.390 --> 0:07:31.070 You say if I say the name and they can't 0:07:31.070 --> 0:07:33.830 win the comp, I want you to say no chance, 0:07:33.830 --> 0:07:35.830 no chance. All right. Roosters. 0:07:35.950 --> 0:07:36.870 Yes. Yes. 0:07:36.910 --> 0:07:37.430 Panthers. 0:07:37.470 --> 0:07:37.710 Yep. 0:07:37.750 --> 0:07:39.910 Yes. Warriors. Yes. Dolphins. 0:07:40.070 --> 0:07:40.630 No. 0:07:40.670 --> 0:07:41.310 Yes. 0:07:41.390 --> 0:07:44.550 All right then we go to the bottom for sharks. 0:07:44.590 --> 0:07:45.510 No. No. 0:07:45.550 --> 0:07:46.270 Knights. 0:07:46.470 --> 0:07:47.310 No. No. 0:07:47.350 --> 0:07:48.070 Rabbitohs. 0:07:48.110 --> 0:07:48.430 No. 0:07:48.470 --> 0:07:49.190 Cowboys. 0:07:49.610 --> 0:07:50.010 Nights. 0:07:50.770 --> 0:07:51.210 Rabbit eyes. 0:07:51.210 --> 0:07:52.650 Can. Rabbit eyes can with Latrell back. 0:07:52.690 --> 0:07:53.490 Okay, well, that. 0:07:54.170 --> 0:07:56.490 Wasn't there last year. Yeah, they missed him so much. 0:07:56.490 --> 0:07:58.210 And Taylor Duncan. 0:07:58.930 --> 0:08:01.170 Cody Walker playing Taylor. Duncan. 0:08:01.210 --> 0:08:02.010 Matt Duffy. 0:08:02.330 --> 0:08:03.370 Duffy was on fire. 0:08:03.690 --> 0:08:05.970 They weren't banking on these guys being like scouts weren't 0:08:05.970 --> 0:08:08.970 banking like the Roosters weren't banking on Hugo Zavala and 0:08:09.570 --> 0:08:14.010 Wyatt and, um, for Katie. Yep. Katie for coming. Forget 0:08:14.010 --> 0:08:15.450 about him. Forget him. Forget it. 0:08:15.850 --> 0:08:16.210 Yeah. 0:08:16.930 --> 0:08:18.170 He's. He's so good. 0:08:18.210 --> 0:08:20.490 So who's your grand finalist at this point? 0:08:20.530 --> 0:08:22.130 Oh, you gotta go. The top two teams at the moment, 0:08:22.130 --> 0:08:25.330 I think you can't go past. Look, I, I still 0:08:25.330 --> 0:08:28.250 think Roosters and Penrith um I'm going to watch closely. 0:08:28.250 --> 0:08:32.130 But because there's a there's some rumblings going on obviously 0:08:32.130 --> 0:08:36.650 that um you get the feeling that this indecision from 0:08:36.650 --> 0:08:39.330 Nathan about signing going to November 1st for the first 0:08:39.330 --> 0:08:42.050 time has sent shivers down the spines of the hierarchy 0:08:42.050 --> 0:08:43.610 at Penrith, which is, you know. 0:08:43.650 --> 0:08:44.290 As it would as. 0:08:44.290 --> 0:08:45.809 It would same as Walker at Roosters. 0:08:45.809 --> 0:08:47.689 Can I tell you the rumour that will not go 0:08:47.730 --> 0:08:50.380 away This. This, huh? 0:08:50.500 --> 0:08:50.900 Oh! 0:08:52.300 --> 0:08:52.940 Come on. 0:08:53.059 --> 0:08:53.579 Yes! 0:08:53.740 --> 0:08:56.220 Do it. Honestly, I have not. And I hate the 0:08:56.220 --> 0:08:59.860 rugby league rumour mill. But I've had so many people 0:09:00.340 --> 0:09:02.500 say that this is going to happen. And I haven't 0:09:02.500 --> 0:09:04.700 made any phone calls. And I want to stress. I 0:09:04.700 --> 0:09:06.620 don't know whether this is true. I don't know where 0:09:06.620 --> 0:09:09.620 it's come from. Ivan and Nathan to the roosters. 0:09:10.140 --> 0:09:12.060 Ivan. Nathan to the roosters. Wow. 0:09:12.100 --> 0:09:15.020 I keep I have heard it non-stop. I don't know 0:09:15.020 --> 0:09:17.780 whether it's true. It's the rugby league rumour mill that 0:09:17.780 --> 0:09:19.980 does my head in. I get emails, I get phone calls, 0:09:19.980 --> 0:09:22.740 I get text messages, and it just won't go away. 0:09:23.100 --> 0:09:25.100 Well, there's been a couple of announcements this year that 0:09:25.100 --> 0:09:28.459 have kind of made you go, what? Ivan's was one 0:09:28.460 --> 0:09:30.500 of them at Penrith when he said his last year 0:09:30.500 --> 0:09:32.220 would be his last. Next year would be his last. 0:09:32.660 --> 0:09:35.179 Payne Haas at Broncos has been another one. Mhm. Um 0:09:35.220 --> 0:09:37.660 Jarome Luai was one at the Chiefs. But I think 0:09:37.660 --> 0:09:41.100 that the Ivan one with Penrith that sent shivers down 0:09:41.100 --> 0:09:45.339 the whole hierarchy at Penrith. And now that Nathan's indecision 0:09:45.340 --> 0:09:48.640 is his own prerogative. You know, he's got every right 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.199 to do what he's doing. But for the first time 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.320 in his career, he's going to sit with the. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:52.960 See the market. 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.920 But again, I want to say this though, when every 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.760 time people tell me that, I'm like, surely not like 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.520 Trent Robinson looks like he's got a job for life. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:07.840 Well, Trent Robinson, um. Holbrook and what Webster coaches of 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.840 the year this year and Ivan's always in the in 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.080 that that chat. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.080 What do you think when you hear that rumor. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.120 I just think why. Why. Well and would it fly 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.360 in the face of what? Everything. Everything that Ivan sort 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.080 of said about why he's leaving Penrith like isn't it? 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.959 So he can relax and enjoy himself and yeah, spend 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.719 more time doing what he wants to do. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.760 Again, I want to stress I'm throwing this out there because. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:29.720 I'm never. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:30.679 That's all that's all. 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:31.000 You. 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.680 Never you never bring up rumors. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.880 And you know I'm probably get hammered by people that 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:35.559 are you know. 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.120 Ivan was at the Roosters many, many years ago. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:38.600 He played for. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:39.480 Them. It's just a rumor. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.720 We keep hearing the Herbie Farnworth going there as well. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:42.600 So anyway. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:43.839 You never know. 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:44.600 Anyway, you. 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.170 Know what I'm standing and saying it now. I never did, 0:10:48.210 --> 0:10:50.730 I never delve into the rugby league rumour mill because seriously, 0:10:50.730 --> 0:10:51.250 it does my head. 0:10:51.370 --> 0:10:54.610 But you gave yourself a qualifier. Yeah, I heard. 0:10:54.610 --> 0:10:55.530 A rumour. 0:10:55.690 --> 0:10:56.330 Spreading. 0:10:56.530 --> 0:10:58.290 You had a broken heart, Ivan. 0:10:58.290 --> 0:10:59.890 Nathan. I'm sorry, I know. 0:11:00.130 --> 0:11:02.969 Look, now that young Jets coming back to Penrith for the. 0:11:03.010 --> 0:11:04.890 He wants to play under his dad and with his 0:11:04.890 --> 0:11:09.890 brother for a year. Obviously next year. Um. Where does 0:11:09.929 --> 0:11:12.370 Nathan sit amongst that. Does Nathan think. Well if my 0:11:12.370 --> 0:11:14.770 brother's coming back to Penrith, why should I leave when 0:11:14.770 --> 0:11:17.610 he's coming back. Probably to play five eight if he 0:11:17.610 --> 0:11:18.010 moves on. 0:11:18.050 --> 0:11:18.530 Yeah. 0:11:18.929 --> 0:11:21.410 So all these things that there's all these things that 0:11:21.410 --> 0:11:22.650 you don't know much about. 0:11:22.650 --> 0:11:24.890 But I look at Nathan Cleary and I look at Penrith, 0:11:24.890 --> 0:11:27.330 I'm thinking, well why would I stay at Penrith when 0:11:27.330 --> 0:11:29.330 I've achieved everything I need to? A lot of the 0:11:29.330 --> 0:11:31.770 blokes that I really get along with have left my 0:11:31.809 --> 0:11:34.369 my dad isn't going to coach me anymore. What's what's 0:11:34.410 --> 0:11:35.770 keeping me at the foot of the mountains. 0:11:35.770 --> 0:11:38.809 And go, and I'm with you. But and then go 0:11:38.850 --> 0:11:40.770 figure on that. For the last five years, most of 0:11:40.770 --> 0:11:44.150 that Penrith team have taken pay cuts to stay to 0:11:44.150 --> 0:11:46.710 win four games, to win four comps. It's worked. Now 0:11:46.710 --> 0:11:48.510 it's starting to break away a bit with Liam Martin 0:11:48.550 --> 0:11:51.309 the latest to say I'm waiting till November 1st. Yeah. 0:11:51.350 --> 0:11:54.670 After Brian Tuttle went and um, you know the year 0:11:54.670 --> 0:11:55.470 before and. 0:11:55.870 --> 0:11:58.710 Well they, they almost lost their CEO recently as well. 0:11:58.750 --> 0:12:02.070 Matty Cameron who did, who nearly signed with. 0:12:02.110 --> 0:12:02.750 Parramatta. 0:12:02.990 --> 0:12:06.550 Did he nearly or was he. Oh he's almost done 0:12:06.550 --> 0:12:08.070 this one. He's almost done. 0:12:08.110 --> 0:12:08.910 Is this nine. 0:12:08.950 --> 0:12:11.630 No it's not known. It's been another rumor. 0:12:11.670 --> 0:12:14.630 It's been out in public. I'm I'm pretty sure it's 0:12:14.630 --> 0:12:17.510 been out in public. You see they went they went really, 0:12:17.510 --> 0:12:19.630 really hard. I haven't even spoken to camo. I'll tell 0:12:19.630 --> 0:12:21.710 you now. I haven't spoken to chemo. It's been out 0:12:21.710 --> 0:12:24.190 in the media. But I think contracts were drawn up 0:12:24.190 --> 0:12:24.750 and everything. 0:12:24.790 --> 0:12:26.670 Wow. Good operator. 0:12:27.910 --> 0:12:30.110 He's a great operator and he often doesn't get the 0:12:30.110 --> 0:12:33.710 reps he deserves for that Penrith dynasty. Um, he is 0:12:33.710 --> 0:12:34.910 such a good operator. 0:12:34.950 --> 0:12:37.910 Um what's going on at Penrith. Everyone's jumping ship. 0:12:37.910 --> 0:12:39.430 Well I think I think they've kind of got to 0:12:39.470 --> 0:12:41.510 their like especially if they make the grand final this year. 0:12:41.510 --> 0:12:43.600 I think it's at the end of an era. Yeah. Um, 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.040 and what a, what a freaking good era it's been like, 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:47.920 we're never going to see, we're never going to see 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.760 a team win four cups in our lifetime again, because 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.559 the the other two two new teams in the competition. 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:54.280 Third one. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.480 Talent. Talent spreads. Yep. 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.920 Juniors everywhere. It's gonna be hard to keep your juniors. Yeah. 0:12:59.960 --> 0:13:03.400 That's out of everything they do in the game. If 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.520 they want to reward anyone, they should reward clubs for 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.640 bringing in juniors. I agree. And nurturing them. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.160 Development. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:13.480 They should be like a 1,520% salary cap exemption for 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.320 all them guys who are happy with you. If you've 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.480 blooded a bloke in your lower grades and for seven years, 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.760 he stays with you. Once he hits that seven years, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.439 that's when he's he gets the exemption. 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.840 Well, he should get dispensation on your salary cap, shouldn't you? 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.760 Surely if you develop a kid, bring him right through 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.640 your system, then he spends seven years there. He should 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.320 be salary cap exempt. Yep. Why shouldn't he? I agree. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.600 The other. That's the incentive to develop kids and bring 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.760 them through. Keep them at your club. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.800 The other thing that I've heard recently was actually floated 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.100 by Paul Gallen on. 0:13:41.580 --> 0:13:42.740 You're hearing a lot of things. 0:13:42.900 --> 0:13:44.780 No, no, no, but it's something that was floated and 0:13:44.780 --> 0:13:47.900 it's a genuinely good idea. I think um Gao floated 0:13:47.900 --> 0:13:49.780 this on 100% footy a few weeks ago, and I 0:13:49.780 --> 0:13:51.540 asked him about it on the weekend, and I'd love 0:13:51.540 --> 0:13:54.740 to get your thoughts, especially, um, having played in sort 0:13:54.740 --> 0:13:58.380 of local footy. He suggested the NRL rather than just 0:13:58.380 --> 0:14:01.459 investing money into local leagues. He used the example of 0:14:01.460 --> 0:14:05.220 Jeremy Latimore and Chad Townsend and Andrew Fifita playing for 0:14:05.220 --> 0:14:07.579 one of the junior clubs in the A grade competition 0:14:07.580 --> 0:14:10.420 in the Shire for feeder, for feeder, and he said 0:14:10.420 --> 0:14:12.700 there were 4000 people there watching it. So you think 0:14:12.700 --> 0:14:15.500 about the money that's made at the canteen, the money 0:14:15.500 --> 0:14:18.100 that's made over the bar. It's that's how you're putting 0:14:18.100 --> 0:14:21.220 money back into junior clubs. Is there merit in the 0:14:21.220 --> 0:14:24.300 idea of the NRL paying former players? Not a huge 0:14:24.300 --> 0:14:27.420 amount of money, but to go and play local park footy? 0:14:27.460 --> 0:14:30.380 100%, of course there is, because I've experienced it. When 0:14:30.380 --> 0:14:32.460 I was in my peak of my powers playing a 0:14:32.460 --> 0:14:35.140 few minor. I was 25, you know, right in the 0:14:35.140 --> 0:14:37.100 middle of my career and I was playing there and 0:14:37.620 --> 0:14:40.720 just to have one bloke from the NRL New South 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.680 Wales Rugby league back then. Go to a club like that. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.760 I think their gates were up by like 2028 or something. Yeah, 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.480 it was just amazing. When they see someone that they 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.360 see on TV and they and all, mostly all they 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.560 seem like get your head bashed in. But yeah. Um, yeah, 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.520 it works, but it's working on the Shire. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.120 Well, the, the, the angle that sort of gal went 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.120 with and, and I'm not suggesting there's any corruption or 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.560 bad things that are done, but if you hand money 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.680 over to a club, right. Just a grant from the 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.840 NRL or whatever, can you be confident it's going to 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:13.200 be used? 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.240 Well then you've got so many people who have access 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:15.920 to that same money. 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:16.440 Exactly. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:17.200 Yeah, I. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.440 So if you're investing in a former player to go 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.040 and play for a club that is bringing people through 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.920 the gates, spending money over the bar and through the club, 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.200 is that a better way of doing it? 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.280 100% it's a great idea. I think it's unreal. I 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.560 think the fact that you allocate an X amount of dollars, 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.160 those former players apply. Yep. Along with their club, you're 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.410 only allowed one at each club, so it spreads the 0:15:38.410 --> 0:15:40.490 talent around and doesn't, you know, you don't get these 0:15:40.490 --> 0:15:44.690 super teams with all boys all playing 30 grand or whatever. 0:15:44.690 --> 0:15:47.090 You get 30 grand, you apply to the NRL, the 0:15:47.090 --> 0:15:48.810 NRL say, yep, we want you to go and play 0:15:48.810 --> 0:15:51.090 for this club. Yep. We approve that club that you 0:15:51.090 --> 0:15:53.410 want to play for. Bang. See you later. 0:15:53.450 --> 0:15:53.850 That's a great. 0:15:53.850 --> 0:15:55.450 Idea. But the other one that gal brought up, which 0:15:55.450 --> 0:15:57.330 I thought that was going to be, he brought up 0:15:57.330 --> 0:15:59.170 to me the other day. I'm sure he did. I'm 0:15:59.170 --> 0:16:05.210 sure it was gal paying junior referees more money, like 0:16:05.210 --> 0:16:10.410 good money to try and get more referees refereeing our game. Yep. 0:16:10.450 --> 0:16:12.610 Get more refs in because they actually go, okay, well 0:16:12.610 --> 0:16:15.810 I'm getting a decent earn here. Hey to then bring 0:16:15.810 --> 0:16:18.850 them all through into into developing more referees for a game. 0:16:18.890 --> 0:16:20.130 Were you saying it the other day? We're going to 0:16:20.130 --> 0:16:20.650 need more. 0:16:21.010 --> 0:16:23.130 I would take that one step further. I would. Every 0:16:23.130 --> 0:16:26.570 club's getting a centre of excellence. Yeah every club gets one. 0:16:26.610 --> 0:16:28.610 Why not put that aside for referees, for young kids 0:16:28.610 --> 0:16:29.130 coming through. 0:16:29.170 --> 0:16:29.410 Coming. 0:16:29.410 --> 0:16:32.250 Through like those who can't play our game, who want 0:16:32.290 --> 0:16:32.690 to play it. 0:16:32.810 --> 0:16:33.369 Referee. 0:16:33.490 --> 0:16:35.210 There's a centre of excellence where you go and then 0:16:35.210 --> 0:16:37.670 they get more respect. If they've got a centre of excellence, 0:16:37.670 --> 0:16:40.190 we go, oh, what the referees now? Yeah. And you 0:16:40.190 --> 0:16:43.310 get you get first graders visiting them and talking. And 0:16:43.590 --> 0:16:46.750 that whole caveat of us versus them has got to 0:16:46.750 --> 0:16:48.910 change because it's, you know. 0:16:49.150 --> 0:16:51.470 Well, just on that, MJ and, and I'd say this 0:16:51.470 --> 0:16:53.990 to any parent that might be listening or any, you know, 0:16:54.030 --> 0:16:56.630 younger person who might be listening that this might shock you. 0:16:56.630 --> 0:16:59.630 But when I was at school, I, and I actually 0:16:59.630 --> 0:17:01.710 said this to you in your podcast, I, I didn't 0:17:01.710 --> 0:17:04.630 like the contact sports like I'd, I'd play footy in 0:17:04.630 --> 0:17:06.669 the park, but I didn't. And I was a bit 0:17:06.670 --> 0:17:08.909 of a sook right back when I was young. Timid kid, 0:17:08.910 --> 0:17:11.590 believe it or not. Very shy considering what I do now. 0:17:12.030 --> 0:17:14.149 But as soon as I. Because I love rugby league 0:17:14.150 --> 0:17:16.350 and I'm like, how can I get involved? And I 0:17:16.390 --> 0:17:19.070 saw this thing. It was become a referee. The best 0:17:19.070 --> 0:17:21.110 thing I ever did was become a referee. It got 0:17:21.109 --> 0:17:22.949 me out of my shell. It taught me how to 0:17:22.990 --> 0:17:26.030 manage things. It it brought confidence out in me and 0:17:26.030 --> 0:17:28.510 made me a stronger person. So if there's a timid 0:17:28.510 --> 0:17:30.430 kid listening or a mum or dad that thinks, look, 0:17:30.470 --> 0:17:33.670 my son or daughter loves rugby league but doesn't like 0:17:33.670 --> 0:17:36.320 the contact, become a referee. You can get involved and 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.359 might come the end of the season, I'd get like five, six, 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:39.240 7000 bucks. 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:39.600 Far. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.159 Out just from the accruing the money throughout that junior 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.240 rugby league season. So there's a nice little, um, gold 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:46.159 mine at the end of it as well. 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:47.439 You put that with your paper run, you get a 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:47.840 lot of money. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:49.639 Oh yeah. I was a paper boy. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.440 Dude. Do you have. 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.119 The milk crate on the front and the back of 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:53.680 the pushy? 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.919 What about Sunday mornings? But you can imagine, like, these days. 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.639 I used to take the big pouch around. 0:17:58.720 --> 0:17:59.240 Yeah, bum. 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.480 Bag and have notes everywhere. On Sundays I get both 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.200 the Telegraph and the Herald, and Sunday was like, you 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:07.440 couldn't do it. These days you get robbed. 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.040 Yeah, I know, that's why they stopped it. 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:10.640 I don't know whether I should share the story, but 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:11.000 I will. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:12.560 It's not story time. 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.560 Well, you guys do story time, but just. I was 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.159 a paper boy, right? And I practiced my whistle technique 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.560 when I was growing up. But I used to stand 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.960 at the five ways at Rockdale. And across the road 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.359 is an establishment called the Black Garter, which let's just 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.560 say is frequented by lonely men. 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:30.040 Okay. 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.399 And the girls used to come out and buy the 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.940 paper off me to make sure that their ads were 0:18:35.940 --> 0:18:38.940 in the personal section in the paper. So I used 0:18:38.940 --> 0:18:42.060 to get handsome tips from, let's just say, the lovely 0:18:42.060 --> 0:18:42.939 ladies that would come. 0:18:42.980 --> 0:18:44.540 And say tips, give me a. 0:18:44.940 --> 0:18:47.100 Give me a $20 note and get me to the 0:18:47.100 --> 0:18:48.300 papers back then. Or $1.20. 0:18:48.340 --> 0:18:50.060 So now when you go back in, they say, remember me? 0:18:50.100 --> 0:18:50.500 Yeah. 0:18:53.820 --> 0:18:55.740 So that's all I remember me. 0:18:55.780 --> 0:18:57.540 Here's all those tips I remember. 0:18:57.540 --> 0:18:59.500 I remember Steve and Mark Waugh stopping at the lights 0:18:59.500 --> 0:19:00.540 and selling them papers. 0:19:00.859 --> 0:19:01.340 Like that's. 0:19:01.340 --> 0:19:03.740 Great. So cool. Yeah. Anyway, that's just story telling me 0:19:03.740 --> 0:19:04.300 that no one cares. 0:19:04.619 --> 0:19:05.620 No. Fantastic. 0:19:05.660 --> 0:19:09.140 Um, Billy Slater's quit Queensland. Who's going to take over? 0:19:09.140 --> 0:19:10.660 I see Darius Boyd's put up his hand. 0:19:10.700 --> 0:19:13.100 I said that on Saturday. Everyone said. Everyone goes. What? 0:19:13.140 --> 0:19:13.900 Darius Boyd. 0:19:14.260 --> 0:19:15.660 Yeah, he's coach Queensland. 0:19:16.619 --> 0:19:18.139 And he's had a good like he's he's won the 0:19:18.140 --> 0:19:18.820 last two series. 0:19:18.820 --> 0:19:20.220 It'd be interesting to see that he's. 0:19:20.260 --> 0:19:21.660 I hope he's ready to do media and not give 0:19:21.660 --> 0:19:21.940 one word. 0:19:22.020 --> 0:19:22.700 Well, he's gotta be better. 0:19:22.740 --> 0:19:23.020 He's better. 0:19:23.020 --> 0:19:24.380 Now. He's gotta be better than that. And I've seen 0:19:24.380 --> 0:19:26.379 him recently on a few things. And that's why I 0:19:26.380 --> 0:19:28.859 threw his name up, because out of all the the 0:19:28.900 --> 0:19:32.140 nominations and all the candidates, I thought, well, you've got 0:19:32.140 --> 0:19:34.199 to have some inkling of the game. Unless you're like, 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.000 Billy Slater is the best fullback we've ever seen. He 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.560 knows everything about everything. But Darius Boyd has a really, 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.040 really good origin record. He's got actually got a good 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.800 record in rugby league. Yeah. Um, you know, I I'm 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.240 not telling Queensland to suck eggs because I don't care 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.959 who they get. But I thought Darius Boyd would be 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.439 Theo's name pops up as well. I think he'd be 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.159 probably good as well. Um, but yeah. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:57.520 They're running out of candidates. 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.919 Ken Smith Both not done. Billy Walters not Billy Walters. 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.520 Kevin Walters Billy Walters should be coaching. Uh, Kevin knocked 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.960 it back. Yeah. And I, I thought he would be 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.199 feverish and getting it back. But the the obviously the 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:11.560 Australian jobs enough for him. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.560 Yeah. Yeah. No Smithy. I thought Smithy might have. Yeah. 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:16.440 It's a big it's a big. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.560 Smithy's uh, committed to the family. I'd love to. Down 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:20.040 on the Goldie. 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.479 I'd love to see Johnathan Thurston do it knowing what 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:23.840 he's like down on the sideline with you. 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.000 Oh, could you imagine JT in the box? 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:26.920 That'd be great. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:27.359 I watch. 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:28.320 His heart rate would get. 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.959 Up. Oh, mate, he's up and down all on the sidelines. 0:20:31.050 --> 0:20:31.930 Big decision. Yeah. 0:20:32.450 --> 0:20:35.370 Um, few other, uh, dramas. Reece Walsh, he's out for 0:20:35.369 --> 0:20:38.650 the season. Um, a bit of hip drop drama. Yeah. Uh, 0:20:38.650 --> 0:20:41.930 Madge's fate at the Broncos is a story out today. Um, 0:20:41.970 --> 0:20:44.330 Martin to Powell has spoken out about how he nearly 0:20:44.330 --> 0:20:47.410 died in an ice bath after pre-season training. Look, there's 0:20:47.410 --> 0:20:48.890 an axe to grind there because he got sacked for 0:20:48.890 --> 0:20:51.530 liking a photo about that was critical of Michael Maguire. 0:20:51.730 --> 0:20:53.650 Stephen Crichton touching the ref. 0:20:53.730 --> 0:20:55.930 MM. I reckon I nearly died a few times. 0:20:57.010 --> 0:20:57.490 Training. 0:20:58.050 --> 0:20:59.170 With Madge. 0:20:59.210 --> 0:21:00.810 I thought you're talking about the Knights in the cross? 0:21:00.850 --> 0:21:04.250 Oh, no, that too. But, uh. Oh my God. Anyway, 0:21:04.290 --> 0:21:05.170 it's not story time. 0:21:05.250 --> 0:21:06.490 No, but he's my trainer. 0:21:06.609 --> 0:21:08.090 G'day, Madge. I love you, mate. 0:21:09.210 --> 0:21:10.370 Get her to give me 20. 0:21:10.410 --> 0:21:12.889 Um, there has been, like, uh, enough is enough type 0:21:12.930 --> 0:21:15.810 attitude from him. You got the thought, uh, after last 0:21:15.810 --> 0:21:18.010 weekend's game, when he kind of did the first time 0:21:18.010 --> 0:21:20.050 this year, he's gone hard on his players. Yeah, he's 0:21:20.050 --> 0:21:20.970 predicted them all year. 0:21:21.010 --> 0:21:21.810 Backed him all year. 0:21:21.970 --> 0:21:23.649 Yeah. But he said, no, I can't do it anymore. 0:21:23.890 --> 0:21:25.729 So you know that there have had a shit year. 0:21:25.770 --> 0:21:26.250 When he says. 0:21:26.250 --> 0:21:26.450 That. 0:21:26.490 --> 0:21:29.129 Is he what he he sprays like he sprays like unbelievable. 0:21:29.170 --> 0:21:32.270 Well mate, I coached me 15 or 16 years ago, 0:21:32.270 --> 0:21:33.629 so it's a long time ago and I'm sure he 0:21:33.630 --> 0:21:33.869 may have. 0:21:33.910 --> 0:21:35.430 As the start of his his voyage. 0:21:36.350 --> 0:21:37.990 It was the first head coaching job he ever got 0:21:37.990 --> 0:21:39.030 and he won the comp with us. 0:21:39.070 --> 0:21:39.470 Yeah. Okay. 0:21:39.510 --> 0:21:42.149 Well, um, he he can spray. Well, he sprayed me. 0:21:42.430 --> 0:21:44.590 I must admit, I'm surprised Stephen Crichton didn't get cited 0:21:44.590 --> 0:21:45.429 by the match review. 0:21:45.470 --> 0:21:48.910 Well, I, I saw it and I thought, um. 0:21:49.350 --> 0:21:49.990 What he was doing. 0:21:50.150 --> 0:21:50.710 Of course he did. 0:21:50.750 --> 0:21:51.430 He's too smart. 0:21:51.430 --> 0:21:53.389 And there should have been a try to Hubner. It 0:21:53.390 --> 0:21:56.830 should have been a try. Um, it's not his first rodeo, 0:21:56.910 --> 0:21:57.389 put it that way. 0:21:57.430 --> 0:21:58.030 He knew what he's doing. 0:21:58.030 --> 0:21:58.670 He knew he was doing. 0:21:58.710 --> 0:22:00.310 I thought maybe a little fine or something. 0:22:00.350 --> 0:22:01.670 Yeah. We're going to get new games. 0:22:01.710 --> 0:22:03.710 Clint Gutherson. He's out for the season, too. 0:22:03.750 --> 0:22:04.030 Yeah. 0:22:04.030 --> 0:22:05.830 What? What's what's happened with Gutho? 0:22:05.990 --> 0:22:08.790 I know you're telling me you're dragons. 0:22:08.830 --> 0:22:10.870 You tell me. Just before he came, we came in. Oh. 0:22:11.190 --> 0:22:11.910 It's already come out. 0:22:11.910 --> 0:22:12.790 So what is it? What's he. 0:22:12.790 --> 0:22:14.909 Done? I think he went and saw a surgeon and 0:22:14.910 --> 0:22:17.149 then had to have surgery. Yeah. So he missed the 0:22:17.150 --> 0:22:17.710 last three games. 0:22:17.790 --> 0:22:19.229 Usually what happens when you go to a surgeon? 0:22:19.270 --> 0:22:22.310 Well not necessarily. He went with his results to see 0:22:22.310 --> 0:22:23.070 what he'd have to do. 0:22:23.109 --> 0:22:24.070 Yeah, but what's he done? 0:22:24.430 --> 0:22:25.150 Oh, I've got no idea. 0:22:25.190 --> 0:22:25.710 Okay. Fair enough. 0:22:25.750 --> 0:22:27.870 That's a good sign, mate. You know what, Daniel Atkinson, 0:22:27.869 --> 0:22:30.520 a fullback last week, was great. Unbelievable. 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.880 Yeah, it could be. That could be sport. 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:35.520 Let's get into the games we do that for better. 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.720 Stay ahead of the game with better download the better app. 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.320 What are you really gambling with?

Especially with Harry Grant back. Yeah it's 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:06.479 obviously that's a really good sign. I mean that's he 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:08.960 could have said they can't play finals footy this year. 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.359 The storm and the fact that he's coming back. That's 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:14.640 that's a that's a team man.
