WEBVTT - Dragons' Revival & Tigers' Turmoil

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.320
<v S1>Hi everyone. Welcome to another edition of the Mark My

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.360
<v S1>Words podcast. Gentlemen, you are here, piggy and m g. Yes,

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.480
<v S1>ladies and gentlemen, we were given one bit of advice

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.680
<v S1>when we started podcasting. Don't wear black because we've got

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.320
<v S1>a black background. What are we wearing wearing black?

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:25.000
<v S2>Black is grey.

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.880
<v S1>But I'm glad we're talking about this piggy because milligrams

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:28.800
<v S1>just let slip.

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:29.360
<v S2>Oh, yes.

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.320
<v S1>That he's wearing an interesting piece of attire at home.

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:33.800
<v S1>M g care to spill the beans?

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.680
<v S3>Good morning. Good afternoon and, uh, good. Good day to

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:37.960
<v S3>everyone watching at home.

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.120
<v S2>Good start. Are we starting with that?

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:40.680
<v S1>We're starting.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:41.879
<v S2>We're gonna start with okay, so.

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.040
<v S3>All my girls, I've got three daughters and a wife, obviously, and, um,

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.720
<v S3>they've all got big dressing gowns. Um, so every time

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.200
<v S3>they wake up in the morning, they don the dressing

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.560
<v S3>gown straight away. So I said to them before winter came,

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.440
<v S3>I said, I'm going to get a robe for this

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.040
<v S3>winter coming up. So I get straight out of bed

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.300
<v S3>now in my boxers. Put my robe on. Yes. Walk out.

0:01:01.340 --> 0:01:04.060
<v S3>Put the kettle on. Beautiful. Have a coffee with a robe.

0:01:04.100 --> 0:01:05.540
<v S3>I feel like Mark Hefner.

0:01:06.260 --> 0:01:08.020
<v S1>Well, Peggy, we're working with Hugh.

0:01:08.060 --> 0:01:08.540
<v S3>Hugh.

0:01:08.819 --> 0:01:10.340
<v S1>You're no longer.

0:01:10.540 --> 0:01:12.700
<v S3>What? Can you give us a description of it? It's

0:01:12.700 --> 0:01:17.179
<v S3>big chocolate. It's chocolate. Yeah. It's thick. Thick. Nice and warm.

0:01:17.300 --> 0:01:21.740
<v S3>Lost in it. Down to the ankles. Down past my knees. Okay.

0:01:22.420 --> 0:01:22.900
<v S1>What about the.

0:01:22.900 --> 0:01:26.580
<v S3>Robe? So I've got to cross my legs.

0:01:28.580 --> 0:01:30.220
<v S1>He's brought back the chocolate soldiers.

0:01:30.260 --> 0:01:32.179
<v S3>I can never get rid of the chocolate soldier.

0:01:32.260 --> 0:01:32.620
<v S1>How good.

0:01:32.620 --> 0:01:35.340
<v S3>Is that? They're so comfortable. Do it. I do it.

0:01:35.540 --> 0:01:37.979
<v S3>It's great. I'm just trying. Instead of putting the pants

0:01:37.980 --> 0:01:40.020
<v S3>on in the hoodie. Well, I just put my t shirt.

0:01:40.060 --> 0:01:41.979
<v S3>I've just got my t shirt and shorts on. You're

0:01:41.980 --> 0:01:43.180
<v S3>warm blooded. Oh.

0:01:44.020 --> 0:01:45.300
<v S1>Not very professional.

0:01:46.580 --> 0:01:47.180
<v S3>Should we answer?

0:01:48.300 --> 0:01:49.500
<v S1>Answer. Sammy Bremner.

0:01:50.460 --> 0:01:51.140
<v S3>Sammy.

0:01:51.620 --> 0:01:52.460
<v S4>G'day, mate.

0:01:52.500 --> 0:01:55.460
<v S3>You're on. You're you're on. You're on the podcast with

0:01:55.500 --> 0:01:57.300
<v S3>Levi and Sammy. Sammy.

0:01:57.340 --> 0:01:59.820
<v S1>Sammy, it's Mark Levi. Can you do me a favor?

0:01:59.960 --> 0:02:02.960
<v S1>Tell the listeners the truth. Does Peggy know anything about

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:04.440
<v S1>recruiting players or not?

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:06.600
<v S4>She doesn't. We don't get him.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.120
<v S3>We get him for his good looks. Can I ring

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.919
<v S3>you back? All right. Sammy.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.680
<v S1>The truth. The truth. Actually, you know what? This is

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.560
<v S1>where we start. Dragons. Big news.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:21.000
<v S3>Oh.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.680
<v S1>You are putting together your club one hell of a

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.840
<v S1>football team next year. Kodi nikorima.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.280
<v S3>Yeah, it's a it's a big one, isn't it? Obviously,

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.480
<v S3>the reports are out that Kodi Nikorima has signed with

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.840
<v S3>the Dragons for two years. Um, another one. Another great signing.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.840
<v S3>I'm stoked. And Levi, I we've spoken about Kodi Nikorima.

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.680
<v S3>I know we have over the last few months, I

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.400
<v S3>know big man has spoken about him just about how

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.399
<v S3>he wasn't signed at the Dolphins. Now obviously they've got

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.959
<v S3>um George Williams. George Williams coming from. Can't believe that

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.639
<v S3>England can't believe that. Uh, and there was an opportunity

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.709
<v S3>for the Dragons to get Katie Nicholl. Nikorima. I just

0:02:59.710 --> 0:03:02.470
<v S3>think it's a great buy. I love the way he plays.

0:03:02.870 --> 0:03:04.950
<v S3>I love what he's done up there at the Dolphins

0:03:05.110 --> 0:03:07.869
<v S3>and the fact that the Dragons will have Drinkwater at fullback.

0:03:07.910 --> 0:03:11.590
<v S3>Metcalfe at half and Nick arena at five eight. Connor

0:03:11.630 --> 0:03:14.950
<v S3>Watson as well in and around the ruck. Keon Koloamatangi.

0:03:14.990 --> 0:03:16.670
<v S3>Phillip Sami out wide.

0:03:17.150 --> 0:03:19.550
<v S5>They throw them in with the couch boys. Yeah. Egan.

0:03:19.590 --> 0:03:20.269
<v S5>Hamish Stuart.

0:03:20.550 --> 0:03:24.230
<v S3>Yeah loco. And then you got Val Holmes still there

0:03:24.389 --> 0:03:25.590
<v S3>like it's.

0:03:25.630 --> 0:03:28.870
<v S5>Who's um is it Daniel Anderson. Who's your recruitment officer Daniel.

0:03:28.870 --> 0:03:30.470
<v S3>And yeah. And who's the head of.

0:03:30.470 --> 0:03:32.910
<v S5>Recruitment at the moment have put together a top eight

0:03:32.950 --> 0:03:35.270
<v S5>team for next year. Wow. I will say right now

0:03:35.390 --> 0:03:40.470
<v S5>it's the 29th of July. My bold statement for next

0:03:40.470 --> 0:03:43.030
<v S5>year was the Dragons will make the eight. Wow will

0:03:43.030 --> 0:03:45.790
<v S5>make the eight. If they don't, I'll walk to Wollongong

0:03:46.150 --> 0:03:47.990
<v S5>backwards nude now.

0:03:48.470 --> 0:03:48.710
<v S3>In the.

0:03:48.710 --> 0:03:48.910
<v S1>Road.

0:03:49.390 --> 0:03:49.790
<v S3>In the road.

0:03:49.830 --> 0:03:51.670
<v S5>I walk in the road. Yeah. Not nude.

0:03:52.990 --> 0:03:53.830
<v S1>No one needs to say that.

0:03:54.150 --> 0:03:54.950
<v S5>Especially winner.

0:03:56.070 --> 0:03:56.910
<v S1>No one can afford that.

0:03:58.190 --> 0:04:00.410
<v S3>What they've done is they've given themselves a chance, haven't they?

0:04:00.450 --> 0:04:04.090
<v S3>Pretty pretty quickly. It's a big turnaround. Um, but the

0:04:04.090 --> 0:04:05.570
<v S3>hard work will start in November.

0:04:05.610 --> 0:04:06.250
<v S1>You're, uh.

0:04:06.450 --> 0:04:08.930
<v S5>That's very diplomatic, isn't it? The hard work will start

0:04:08.930 --> 0:04:09.690
<v S5>in November.

0:04:10.650 --> 0:04:11.250
<v S1>Wow.

0:04:11.410 --> 0:04:12.650
<v S5>You're turning into a coach.

0:04:12.690 --> 0:04:15.089
<v S1>I would say this, though. It's like the. Is there

0:04:15.090 --> 0:04:18.010
<v S1>genuine excitement amongst the Dragons fans? Because I reckon out

0:04:18.010 --> 0:04:20.970
<v S1>of all the supporters in the rugby league, the Dragons

0:04:20.970 --> 0:04:22.409
<v S1>fans are very, very hard to please.

0:04:22.450 --> 0:04:24.729
<v S5>Oh, sorry. What about poor Tigers at the moment?

0:04:24.770 --> 0:04:26.250
<v S1>Yeah. True. We'll get to them in a second.

0:04:26.290 --> 0:04:29.010
<v S3>But um at least there's, there's a, there's some hope

0:04:29.010 --> 0:04:32.089
<v S3>there now isn't there. Very quickly from, from like it's,

0:04:32.089 --> 0:04:35.010
<v S3>it's a disastrous season really. Let's be honest with the Dragons.

0:04:35.010 --> 0:04:37.570
<v S3>They're in last position. I don't think the Dragons St

0:04:37.650 --> 0:04:40.690
<v S3>George Illawarra have never finished last in the 26 years

0:04:40.690 --> 0:04:43.490
<v S3>or 27 years. It is. So this is the first year.

0:04:43.490 --> 0:04:45.410
<v S3>So they had to make changes. They had to do

0:04:45.410 --> 0:04:48.530
<v S3>something drastic. And it looks like they're doing that.

0:04:48.529 --> 0:04:50.130
<v S5>And you know what it was don't you. It was

0:04:50.130 --> 0:04:53.930
<v S5>the helicopter ride that got him over the line. Whoever

0:04:53.930 --> 0:04:54.450
<v S5>got him.

0:04:54.490 --> 0:04:55.690
<v S3>I've asked for a few of those.

0:04:55.690 --> 0:04:56.890
<v S5>Since Mick Cronin.

0:04:56.930 --> 0:04:58.050
<v S3>No God, no joy.

0:04:58.110 --> 0:05:00.630
<v S5>But like, I think that was the that was the

0:05:00.950 --> 0:05:03.310
<v S5>impetus to get everyone else. Once you get a guy

0:05:03.310 --> 0:05:06.470
<v S5>of his standards, and I never thought I'd see him

0:05:06.470 --> 0:05:08.630
<v S5>leave South Sydney. But once he got over the line,

0:05:08.910 --> 0:05:11.349
<v S5>the Dragons. All of a sudden the bull rush come. Yeah.

0:05:11.390 --> 0:05:13.830
<v S5>And you got, you know, Drinkwater and Metcalfe and then

0:05:13.830 --> 0:05:16.390
<v S5>all of us Phil, Sammy, Phil, Sammy the the most

0:05:16.390 --> 0:05:17.710
<v S5>underrated by the Dragons have got.

0:05:17.750 --> 0:05:18.390
<v S3>He's playing.

0:05:18.550 --> 0:05:18.950
<v S5>Very.

0:05:18.950 --> 0:05:21.510
<v S3>Very well. The best footy he's played and he's and

0:05:21.550 --> 0:05:24.270
<v S3>um he's very excited to get down to dragons and

0:05:24.270 --> 0:05:25.870
<v S3>get started. I was talking to someone the other day

0:05:25.870 --> 0:05:26.350
<v S3>about that.

0:05:26.350 --> 0:05:28.310
<v S1>The thing that gets me boys. And again, this is

0:05:28.310 --> 0:05:30.190
<v S1>just from a fan's perspective. I never played the game

0:05:30.190 --> 0:05:32.670
<v S1>at the top level. Like you blokes, when a team

0:05:32.670 --> 0:05:35.350
<v S1>is sitting in last position on the ladder, it must

0:05:35.350 --> 0:05:38.230
<v S1>be extremely difficult. And given all the drama around the Dragons,

0:05:38.230 --> 0:05:40.789
<v S1>it must be extremely difficult to sit a player down

0:05:41.029 --> 0:05:43.150
<v S1>and say to them, we want you to sign with

0:05:43.150 --> 0:05:46.230
<v S1>the Saint George-illawarra Dragons, but they now look like a

0:05:46.230 --> 0:05:48.550
<v S1>club that people want to go to.

0:05:48.589 --> 0:05:49.229
<v S5>That's a good point.

0:05:49.270 --> 0:05:51.190
<v S1>Which I think is a it's it's it's a great

0:05:51.190 --> 0:05:54.870
<v S1>endorsement for what Dean young is now doing, um, for

0:05:54.870 --> 0:05:56.870
<v S1>what the club has created. And I'm talking from the

0:05:56.870 --> 0:05:59.010
<v S1>top down, you know, there's been a lot of criticism

0:05:59.010 --> 0:06:01.250
<v S1>about the board of the Dragons, the way in which

0:06:01.250 --> 0:06:05.210
<v S1>the sacking of Shane Flanagan was was handled. But what

0:06:05.210 --> 0:06:07.929
<v S1>they're doing now is they're making themselves an attractive option

0:06:07.930 --> 0:06:10.650
<v S1>for players to come to Saint George Illawarra. MJ, Neil, Greg.

0:06:10.690 --> 0:06:12.770
<v S5>I couldn't agree more. I think that you've got to

0:06:12.770 --> 0:06:17.370
<v S5>hit rock bottom to realize how the roses smell, if

0:06:17.370 --> 0:06:20.330
<v S5>that makes sense. Newcastle Knights last you've got the wooden spoon.

0:06:20.370 --> 0:06:22.290
<v S5>Unfortunately for them, they might slide out of the eight

0:06:22.290 --> 0:06:24.850
<v S5>this year with the the litany of injuries, but they

0:06:24.850 --> 0:06:27.170
<v S5>were looking fantastic. Dragons will get the wooden spoon this

0:06:27.170 --> 0:06:29.730
<v S5>year and they'll make the eight next year. That's that's

0:06:29.730 --> 0:06:32.450
<v S5>that's just a given. I obviously hard work has to

0:06:32.450 --> 0:06:34.089
<v S5>come down with it and all that, but they've signed

0:06:34.089 --> 0:06:37.650
<v S5>so many great players and they've still got Gutho who's

0:06:37.690 --> 0:06:40.170
<v S5>a you know, probably going to be number 14 next year,

0:06:40.330 --> 0:06:44.169
<v S5>still got Val Holmes who's an origin and Australian player.

0:06:44.370 --> 0:06:46.450
<v S5>And you throw in, as you mentioned, all these forwards.

0:06:46.490 --> 0:06:48.849
<v S1>What does the future hold though for Val Holmes. Like

0:06:49.050 --> 0:06:50.930
<v S1>can we can we address the elephant in the room.

0:06:51.250 --> 0:06:53.010
<v S1>He's he's nowhere near the player.

0:06:53.010 --> 0:06:54.450
<v S3>He used to be. Yeah. But but I think I

0:06:54.450 --> 0:06:56.330
<v S3>think you've got to give him next year because of

0:06:56.330 --> 0:06:58.600
<v S3>course with this, when you put those players that we

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.000
<v S3>just mentioned inside him that can give him, well, not

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.160
<v S3>only can they get more better sorry phrase, he's probably

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:06.800
<v S3>not only can they get on the front foot a

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.560
<v S3>lot easier and a lot better next year with some

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.880
<v S3>of the players they've got, they've got players that can

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.760
<v S3>create for their outside men. And then look, let's call

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.640
<v S3>a spade a spade. The Dragons gets it inside the

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.440
<v S3>20 this year and they can't score points. That's right.

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.720
<v S3>That's their biggest issue. So when you have Metcalf, Nick

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.960
<v S3>and Drinkwater, those blokes feeding the likes of Val Holmes

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.720
<v S3>and Moses Suli, if he gets fit, gets himself back

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.080
<v S3>into contention, then that makes them better players. So when

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.720
<v S3>you get better players, the other players all lift and

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:35.400
<v S3>play better.

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.559
<v S5>My only reservation if I had one, would be um,

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.440
<v S5>speed at at the moment, Tyrell Sloan is the fastest

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:43.400
<v S5>bloke you've got. He's gone.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:43.800
<v S3>He's gone.

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.480
<v S5>Yeah. Um so these guys are going to create you

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.040
<v S5>know that they're going to be gaps everywhere. They're going

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.800
<v S5>to you know quick play the ball. Metcalf and Nick

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.120
<v S5>and Drinkwater sweeping around. Who's going to keep up with

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.460
<v S5>them once they go through. That's what I'd be worried

0:07:56.460 --> 0:07:57.540
<v S5>about if I was a dragon.

0:07:57.900 --> 0:08:01.940
<v S1>Interesting. Uh, shall we out, piggy now for, uh. He's coming,

0:08:01.980 --> 0:08:04.820
<v S1>he's coming, he's coming again this week, folks. Are the

0:08:04.820 --> 0:08:08.260
<v S1>pigs done it again? I played a part in this, gents.

0:08:08.460 --> 0:08:10.980
<v S1>I got drink water over the line. I booked the

0:08:10.980 --> 0:08:15.380
<v S1>helicopter for Kion, and now I've got Cody down for you.

0:08:15.380 --> 0:08:16.100
<v S5>He goes. He goes.

0:08:16.140 --> 0:08:18.180
<v S3>Well, he's not on the Gold Coast. You flip.

0:08:18.540 --> 0:08:19.940
<v S1>The dolphins. You know what I mean?

0:08:19.980 --> 0:08:22.700
<v S5>He goes, Levi magic. I remember I said something about

0:08:22.700 --> 0:08:23.180
<v S5>Nick arena.

0:08:23.220 --> 0:08:28.940
<v S1>Yes. In fact, I'd go back to yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:08:28.980 --> 0:08:31.140
<v S1>Magic round. I think you're right. We're having a nice read.

0:08:31.620 --> 0:08:33.020
<v S3>There's some GST here.

0:08:33.059 --> 0:08:34.020
<v S5>There's some GST.

0:08:34.100 --> 0:08:35.940
<v S1>I remember sitting next to him in commentary this year.

0:08:35.940 --> 0:08:39.580
<v S1>2 p.m. G and piggies. He's leant over during commercial breaks.

0:08:39.580 --> 0:08:41.780
<v S1>And he said keep an eye on Nick arena. I

0:08:41.780 --> 0:08:47.859
<v S1>think there's some big things to come. He's not recruitment.

0:08:47.980 --> 0:08:49.460
<v S1>He's the player whisperer he's become.

0:08:49.500 --> 0:08:50.780
<v S3>I'll tell you what. We might have to start on

0:08:50.780 --> 0:08:51.860
<v S3>the girls team shortly.

0:08:52.580 --> 0:08:52.980
<v S1>Oh yeah.

0:08:53.340 --> 0:08:55.140
<v S3>Same thing anyway.

0:08:55.179 --> 0:08:57.000
<v S1>Oh geez. Have you lost the full support of the

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:57.760
<v S1>board or not yet?

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:58.920
<v S3>No, not at all. Not at all.

0:08:58.960 --> 0:08:59.680
<v S5>The boss's ring.

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.920
<v S3>We're in a rebuild. Rebuild. And as I keep saying,

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.000
<v S3>it's a five year plan.

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.800
<v S1>Righto, Gus. Uh, from the Dragons. We go to the Tigers.

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.560
<v S1>The big story continues. It's Adam Dewey. Um. He's back.

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.600
<v S1>He's back to training. Um, he said he shouldn't have

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.960
<v S1>spat the dummy and stormed off. Um.

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:19.640
<v S5>Yeah.

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:20.679
<v S1>What do you reckon, boys?

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.400
<v S5>Oh, look, I've got a I've got to be, you know,

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.280
<v S5>measured what I say because I've got a young bloke

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.360
<v S5>who plays there and, and he doesn't talk shop with

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.559
<v S5>me and I wouldn't expect him to because same was

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.920
<v S5>when he was at Penrith. I don't want him telling

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.959
<v S5>me stuff because it might slip out that I might

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.120
<v S5>say something in the media. Yeah. But um, from an

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.400
<v S5>outsider looking in, I have never seen anything like this.

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.440
<v S5>It's unprecedented. Um, but that is the sign of the

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.440
<v S5>modern day rugby league player that what we, what we've

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.920
<v S5>seen in the last week. Um there is no intestinal

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.679
<v S5>fortitude amongst them any more. If they get dropped, they

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.040
<v S5>go to their manager and they say, I want to

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.420
<v S5>go to another club because that club doesn't want me.

0:09:55.660 --> 0:09:58.140
<v S5>Instead of going back to New South Wales Cup and going,

0:09:58.140 --> 0:09:59.900
<v S5>you know what? What can I work on to become

0:09:59.900 --> 0:10:02.860
<v S5>a better player? Unfortunately, them days are gone because this

0:10:02.860 --> 0:10:06.260
<v S5>game is such a massive monster. We've just signed a

0:10:06.260 --> 0:10:10.940
<v S5>$5 billion broadcast deal. There's a new team coming in

0:10:10.940 --> 0:10:15.459
<v S5>in 2028 that's paying your tax free dollars. Like there's

0:10:15.500 --> 0:10:17.380
<v S5>options for these guys now that they don't have to

0:10:17.380 --> 0:10:20.620
<v S5>put up with their so-called shit. They can just go

0:10:20.620 --> 0:10:24.179
<v S5>and say, see you later. I will say this, um,

0:10:24.220 --> 0:10:27.900
<v S5>yesterday both Benji and Adam Dewey came out and addressed it,

0:10:27.900 --> 0:10:31.580
<v S5>and Adam Dewey was really positive. And if I was

0:10:31.580 --> 0:10:33.340
<v S5>a Tiger fan, I'm believing what he's saying because he

0:10:33.340 --> 0:10:35.420
<v S5>said for the next three years of my contract, I

0:10:35.420 --> 0:10:38.460
<v S5>will be here and I'll be honoring that contract while

0:10:38.460 --> 0:10:41.100
<v S5>I am here at the Tigers. So that's. And Benji

0:10:41.100 --> 0:10:42.860
<v S5>said like there was a bit of when he got

0:10:42.860 --> 0:10:45.820
<v S5>out of the judiciary the other night, apparently there's a

0:10:45.820 --> 0:10:50.420
<v S5>bit of a breakdown because Benji didn't contact Dewey because he's.

0:10:50.460 --> 0:10:52.780
<v S5>A couple of his kids were crook at home. We

0:10:52.780 --> 0:10:54.620
<v S5>don't see all this happen, you know, we don't see

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:59.400
<v S5>every side of the ledger when there's things going on personally. Um,

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.360
<v S5>I don't know them. I don't know Benji. I know

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.679
<v S5>Benji personally, but not personally. I know him. I don't

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.600
<v S5>know Adam. I've met him twice. They might have other

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.760
<v S5>stuff going on that's contributing to them making rash decisions.

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.600
<v S5>They've come out yesterday and they've got in the front foot,

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.320
<v S5>so all they can do right now is for the

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.199
<v S5>rest of this season. To atone is to win games

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.600
<v S5>for their supporters. That's the first thing they can do

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.040
<v S5>because they're on a six game losing streak or something.

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.480
<v S5>And if they can win a game, this gets washed away.

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:28.199
<v S1>I'm not buying it.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:29.199
<v S3>Huh?

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.040
<v S1>I'm not buying it. I'll tell you why. I'm not buying.

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.520
<v S3>You. Not you think there's more to it?

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.359
<v S1>No no no, I just I if I'm Benji Marshall,

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.520
<v S1>I don't put him in the halves this weekend. I, I,

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.000
<v S1>I make a statement and I say to Adam, do you.

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.080
<v S5>Want to win games? You want to.

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.120
<v S1>Win. But no individual is bigger than the club. If

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.560
<v S1>you're trying to create a culture m g you can't

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.960
<v S1>have a bloke carrying like a pork chop storm off

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.040
<v S1>and spit the dummy because he didn't get his way

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.190
<v S1>and then all of a sudden waltz back into training

0:11:55.190 --> 0:11:57.030
<v S1>as if nothing happens and plays him in the halves,

0:11:57.070 --> 0:11:59.630
<v S1>because there'll be people listening to this podcast right now

0:11:59.670 --> 0:12:01.670
<v S1>that go to work Monday to Friday. The boss tells

0:12:01.670 --> 0:12:03.110
<v S1>them something to do something, and they don't like it.

0:12:03.470 --> 0:12:05.750
<v S1>They don't spit the dummy. They don't go home, they

0:12:05.750 --> 0:12:08.429
<v S1>don't cry, they don't whinge and carry on and say, oh,

0:12:08.550 --> 0:12:10.950
<v S1>poor so-and-so, oh, you've got to look after the manager.

0:12:10.950 --> 0:12:14.070
<v S1>I'm sorry, Adam Dewey, suck it up, do the job.

0:12:14.070 --> 0:12:16.670
<v S1>Otherwise find another club. And I think he's lucky that

0:12:16.670 --> 0:12:18.750
<v S1>he's still got a job because in any other employment,

0:12:18.750 --> 0:12:20.950
<v S1>if I carried on like that, you know what had happened?

0:12:20.990 --> 0:12:22.590
<v S1>They kick me to the curb and say, sorry, you're

0:12:22.590 --> 0:12:23.190
<v S1>not wanted here.

0:12:23.190 --> 0:12:26.310
<v S3>I can't argue with anything. I can't argue with you. I,

0:12:26.670 --> 0:12:28.830
<v S3>I tend to agree to you to a certain extent,

0:12:28.830 --> 0:12:31.590
<v S3>but the issue as well goes back to what milligram

0:12:31.590 --> 0:12:34.190
<v S3>just said in that if Benji did do that with

0:12:34.190 --> 0:12:38.030
<v S3>Adam Dewey, he's hurting his own club by getting rid

0:12:38.070 --> 0:12:41.069
<v S3>of Adam Dewey. That then another club's going to then

0:12:41.070 --> 0:12:44.030
<v S3>benefit from. Yep. Everything else that you said there I

0:12:44.030 --> 0:12:44.950
<v S3>agree with like.

0:12:45.230 --> 0:12:48.150
<v S1>I can't argue Benji was wasn't going to play in

0:12:48.150 --> 0:12:49.670
<v S1>the halves last one. I know they got thumped.

0:12:49.710 --> 0:12:52.030
<v S3>I can't argue with you. I think you've got a

0:12:52.030 --> 0:12:55.130
<v S3>great point because I think you do set standards and

0:12:55.170 --> 0:12:57.170
<v S3>you need to do that. But at the end of

0:12:57.170 --> 0:12:59.209
<v S3>the day, also understand that they've got to win football

0:12:59.210 --> 0:13:01.210
<v S3>games and they're on a 6 or 7 game losing

0:13:01.210 --> 0:13:02.690
<v S3>streak and they've got to play their best players.

0:13:02.690 --> 0:13:03.730
<v S1>But but I'll tell you I'll tell you.

0:13:03.730 --> 0:13:04.490
<v S3>It's a hard one.

0:13:04.770 --> 0:13:07.290
<v S5>It's a really it's unprecedented. I haven't seen I haven't

0:13:07.290 --> 0:13:08.370
<v S5>seen something like this happen before.

0:13:08.410 --> 0:13:09.890
<v S1>But you know what it says boys. It says to

0:13:09.929 --> 0:13:12.890
<v S1>every other player on that roster that if Benji Marshall

0:13:13.090 --> 0:13:15.050
<v S1>drops you to the edges or plays you in a

0:13:15.050 --> 0:13:18.170
<v S1>position you don't want, spit the dummy storm off. Because

0:13:18.210 --> 0:13:20.770
<v S1>next week when you come back and you smoke the

0:13:20.770 --> 0:13:23.250
<v S1>peace pipe and get together and heal the rift, you'll

0:13:23.250 --> 0:13:25.330
<v S1>be back in the position you want to because that's

0:13:25.330 --> 0:13:26.530
<v S1>what's happened with Adam Dooley.

0:13:26.730 --> 0:13:28.970
<v S5>Yeah. Look, I, I, you know, it's I, I feel

0:13:28.970 --> 0:13:31.490
<v S5>for the young Javon Andrews who made his debut last week.

0:13:31.530 --> 0:13:32.490
<v S3>Well, no one heard about it.

0:13:32.530 --> 0:13:32.730
<v S5>Did.

0:13:32.730 --> 0:13:33.890
<v S3>They. Really? Poor bugger.

0:13:33.929 --> 0:13:35.850
<v S5>That's what I feel in all of this. And.

0:13:36.010 --> 0:13:37.450
<v S1>Okay, you got me fired up. Sorry, boys.

0:13:37.490 --> 0:13:40.370
<v S5>They've broken bread and look, it's. You know, I know

0:13:40.410 --> 0:13:43.850
<v S5>one who's producing it. He's a Tigers fan over here

0:13:43.850 --> 0:13:46.730
<v S5>and he's he's ready. He's almost jumping through the screen

0:13:46.770 --> 0:13:49.730
<v S5>at us. But, um. Look I do feel for the

0:13:49.730 --> 0:13:52.530
<v S5>Tigers fans. They they deserve better. They'll come in second

0:13:52.770 --> 0:13:56.150
<v S5>in the competition on Anzac Day. Now the second last. Yeah.

0:13:56.150 --> 0:13:58.510
<v S5>So as I say, there's going to be an investigation.

0:13:58.510 --> 0:14:02.350
<v S5>The investigation happened. Um, Adam Dewey did admit that he's

0:14:02.390 --> 0:14:05.949
<v S5>he's he takes things too literally. And when Benji didn't

0:14:05.950 --> 0:14:09.910
<v S5>contact him, um, he kind of thought the worst, and

0:14:10.190 --> 0:14:12.830
<v S5>he admitted he should have handled it better. We all

0:14:12.830 --> 0:14:15.709
<v S5>admit we should handle things better in hindsight, and I've

0:14:15.710 --> 0:14:17.790
<v S5>done a lot of things that I've embarrassed being embarrassed

0:14:17.790 --> 0:14:19.310
<v S5>about in the game. And I'm sure Adam Dewey will

0:14:19.310 --> 0:14:21.230
<v S5>look back on this and go, I could have handled

0:14:21.230 --> 0:14:21.790
<v S5>that a lot better.

0:14:21.830 --> 0:14:23.550
<v S1>You know what? I'm really intrigued as to what the

0:14:23.550 --> 0:14:25.910
<v S1>listeners and viewers think, so leave a message in the

0:14:25.910 --> 0:14:27.630
<v S1>comments and let us know your thoughts. We might even

0:14:27.630 --> 0:14:29.750
<v S1>read back some next week. Yeah, because it's obviously a

0:14:29.750 --> 0:14:31.310
<v S1>big issue in the game and there'll be people that

0:14:31.310 --> 0:14:33.790
<v S1>vehemently disagree with me. There'll be other people that agree

0:14:33.790 --> 0:14:35.590
<v S1>with me. That's the beauty of the game. Everyone's got

0:14:35.590 --> 0:14:37.910
<v S1>an opinion. Uh, so let us know your thoughts in

0:14:37.910 --> 0:14:41.110
<v S1>the comments section. Can we go to a positive? Um,

0:14:41.150 --> 0:14:43.070
<v S1>two teams that really impressed me last week and I'd

0:14:43.070 --> 0:14:45.310
<v S1>love to get your thoughts on them. I think the

0:14:45.310 --> 0:14:47.110
<v S1>sharks are a team on the rise and the real

0:14:47.110 --> 0:14:49.950
<v S1>deal this year. And I think the Bulldogs they're coming

0:14:49.950 --> 0:14:52.190
<v S1>to get them. They might be the little smoky cheese.

0:14:52.190 --> 0:14:53.330
<v S1>They played well last week.

0:14:53.370 --> 0:14:54.250
<v S3>I'm with you. Yeah.

0:14:54.450 --> 0:14:57.130
<v S5>No, I, um, I say about Sharky's because Nicho Hynes

0:14:57.130 --> 0:14:59.170
<v S5>is running the ball. And why is he running the ball?

0:14:59.450 --> 0:15:01.250
<v S5>Because as a young bloke, not a young bloke. He's

0:15:01.250 --> 0:15:04.490
<v S5>younger than me, but he's an ex French rugby union

0:15:04.490 --> 0:15:08.850
<v S5>player called Frederic Michalak. Michalak, who has who was there

0:15:08.850 --> 0:15:12.290
<v S5>in 2022 when guess what Nicho got Dally M player

0:15:12.290 --> 0:15:14.930
<v S5>of the year. He's back this year. And guess what?

0:15:15.530 --> 0:15:19.570
<v S5>Nicho ran like 19 times last weekend against manly. Run

0:15:19.570 --> 0:15:21.810
<v S5>the ball when he runs. He's such a big body.

0:15:22.210 --> 0:15:24.410
<v S5>He's such a big body. He's such a big body

0:15:24.450 --> 0:15:29.570
<v S5>from France. You know what I mean? Let's run for

0:15:29.570 --> 0:15:32.930
<v S5>the ball and you go with him.

0:15:34.450 --> 0:15:34.930
<v S1>Very good.

0:15:34.970 --> 0:15:38.690
<v S5>It's just. I mean, when I agree with you 100%,

0:15:38.690 --> 0:15:41.610
<v S5>I think in the last few years when they've got

0:15:41.610 --> 0:15:43.770
<v S5>the odd prelim and that they just haven't had, I

0:15:43.890 --> 0:15:46.770
<v S5>thought to myself and even I've said this year, that

0:15:46.770 --> 0:15:49.130
<v S5>type of team, they don't really do anything for me.

0:15:49.130 --> 0:15:52.000
<v S5>But they made a statement last week at Brookvale and

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.640
<v S5>I think they've got to keep that statement going. Their

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.120
<v S5>forwards at the moment are playing a perfect role. Um,

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.120
<v S5>they've got McInnes and Brayley in the middle who are

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.720
<v S5>just dynamic um fast feet. And I just think I

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.480
<v S5>love the way that Trindle has just taken control of

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.360
<v S5>this whole situation. I love the way that Niko gives

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.040
<v S5>him space to take control. Um, Kennedy is one of

0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.160
<v S5>the most under is he signed Kennedy at full back.

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.640
<v S5>Not sure because he's playing good footy.

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.120
<v S3>He's signed till 2020.

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.160
<v S5>Okay. So yeah, look, I'm with you and I think

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:26.440
<v S5>the doggies. Yes. I think the Bulldogs um look we're

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.000
<v S5>lucky Galvin um he's playing great footy. Um I think

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.040
<v S5>that Crichton I didn't, I didn't agree with him being

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.600
<v S5>put at five eight. But I've got to take my

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.840
<v S5>words back. I think he's yeah I think he's a

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.040
<v S5>point of difference at five eight.

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:38.480
<v S1>Yep.

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.560
<v S3>I'm not convinced on the Sharkies.

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:42.880
<v S5>And Preston and I think our back.

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.920
<v S3>I'm not convinced on the Sharkies. Why. Well I just

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.400
<v S3>think every year they promise us so much and they

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:48.640
<v S3>get to.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:49.840
<v S5>But what about Michalak?

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:51.120
<v S3>No, I don't care.

0:16:51.260 --> 0:16:53.900
<v S6>No, no no. You can't do it if you want to.

0:16:55.380 --> 0:16:56.100
<v S1>What are you poo poo.

0:16:56.740 --> 0:16:59.140
<v S3>Poo poo poo on the sharks at all? I've said this.

0:16:59.180 --> 0:17:01.060
<v S1>They're your rivals at the Dragons.

0:17:01.100 --> 0:17:05.460
<v S3>No, I've said this. I've said this for weeks. I've

0:17:05.460 --> 0:17:09.060
<v S3>said it for weeks until they win a preliminary final.

0:17:09.060 --> 0:17:11.220
<v S3>No one. They're not going to convince me.

0:17:11.220 --> 0:17:11.620
<v S1>Are.

0:17:12.300 --> 0:17:14.179
<v S3>They? Always? Well, they've done it for the last how

0:17:14.180 --> 0:17:16.060
<v S3>many years? 3 or 4. 3 or 4 years.

0:17:16.300 --> 0:17:18.100
<v S1>They've been warming up for this year. Right.

0:17:18.140 --> 0:17:21.900
<v S3>And then they'll have the same conversations in the same

0:17:21.900 --> 0:17:26.220
<v S3>room at Shark Park. They're going to be out here.

0:17:26.260 --> 0:17:27.820
<v S1>They go to the old dingy bar. And then Blake

0:17:27.820 --> 0:17:29.139
<v S1>gets up and says, come on, we don't want to

0:17:29.140 --> 0:17:31.100
<v S1>be sitting in here next year. I think, look, we're back.

0:17:31.140 --> 0:17:31.460
<v S3>I'm not.

0:17:31.460 --> 0:17:33.060
<v S5>Convinced. You know what I think the problem with them

0:17:33.060 --> 0:17:34.899
<v S5>is they get each year they get a home semi

0:17:34.900 --> 0:17:37.859
<v S5>first go. And there's so much speculation about playing at Shark.

0:17:37.900 --> 0:17:38.380
<v S3>Park.

0:17:38.420 --> 0:17:41.020
<v S5>That they get caught up in it. If they should

0:17:41.020 --> 0:17:42.420
<v S5>be taken away from it, it's in the rules now.

0:17:42.420 --> 0:17:44.380
<v S5>They can get that opportunity, but it should be taken

0:17:44.380 --> 0:17:46.780
<v S5>away from them. They should be playing it at Allianz.

0:17:47.500 --> 0:17:49.460
<v S5>I agree there's no two ways about it. Their first

0:17:49.460 --> 0:17:51.679
<v S5>semi should be there and that would make them rise

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.960
<v S5>to the occasion, because at the moment it's like another

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.120
<v S5>club game to them. You know, they're playing at Shark

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.840
<v S5>Park in front of 11,000 people. It's a major semi.

0:17:58.880 --> 0:17:59.680
<v S3>You should embrace.

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.880
<v S5>It. It should be getting an allowance with 40,000 going

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.600
<v S5>now we're in the big time now.

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.680
<v S3>But unfortunately their fans don't travel.

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:10.840
<v S5>They might. Get onto him. Shark fans.

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.159
<v S1>Mate. There weren't many at Coachella last week.

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:14.600
<v S3>Yeah. We're coming last.

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.760
<v S1>Mate. Your fans don't turn up. What, mate? The Tigers

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.480
<v S1>fans turn up. They feel like they're going like bastards.

0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:22.720
<v S3>Hello, Campbelltown.

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:23.440
<v S5>Yeah.

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.560
<v S3>Hello. Hello. Good point. Thank you.

0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.880
<v S5>Like, uh, like, uh. Should be their spiritual home game

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.440
<v S5>ground going forward. That should be once. It's once it's renovated,

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:34.359
<v S5>that should be their home ground.

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.879
<v S3>Alright. Hold on, I haven't finished. I'm with you on

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.040
<v S3>the doggies. Yeah. I'm not with you on the sharks. Okay.

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.119
<v S1>Um, I was going to we're going to talk about Laurie,

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.760
<v S1>but I mean, I find it. I find it funny

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.960
<v S1>that the bloke who was writing stuff about Laurie throughout

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.139
<v S1>the origin series, Pete Beadle from the Courier Mail is

0:18:50.140 --> 0:18:52.619
<v S1>now reporting that Laurie's walking away from the coaching job

0:18:52.660 --> 0:18:54.899
<v S1>and he's got health problems. Laurie was on the radio

0:18:54.940 --> 0:18:57.020
<v S1>the other day saying, no, no, health's good, and I

0:18:57.020 --> 0:18:59.260
<v S1>haven't made a decision yet. I think I think most

0:18:59.260 --> 0:19:02.620
<v S1>people are aware that he's he's done. But I think

0:19:02.619 --> 0:19:04.780
<v S1>we need to respect the bloke enough to say when

0:19:04.820 --> 0:19:06.619
<v S1>Laurie's ready, he makes that 100%.

0:19:06.660 --> 0:19:07.260
<v S3>Let him go.

0:19:07.380 --> 0:19:09.740
<v S1>Um just just on Daly Cherry-Evans. That's the other issue

0:19:09.780 --> 0:19:12.580
<v S1>that's been bubbling away this week, weighing up whether to

0:19:12.580 --> 0:19:15.380
<v S1>go on again. Or is he still playing like.

0:19:15.380 --> 0:19:18.100
<v S5>He's I I'm declaring right now he's the buyer of

0:19:18.100 --> 0:19:18.540
<v S5>the year.

0:19:18.580 --> 0:19:18.939
<v S1>Wow.

0:19:19.500 --> 0:19:22.420
<v S5>Who else is there. Who's the guy? I mean, um,

0:19:22.420 --> 0:19:25.180
<v S5>maybe Tanner Boyd was up until he got injured.

0:19:25.300 --> 0:19:26.540
<v S3>To think about it a little bit more.

0:19:26.660 --> 0:19:30.420
<v S5>Robson could be second read. Man, he's up there, I suppose.

0:19:30.900 --> 0:19:32.620
<v S5>But I think if you look at the overall.

0:19:32.660 --> 0:19:33.740
<v S3>Pluck some names out there.

0:19:33.780 --> 0:19:37.620
<v S5>I just I just you know I'm I'm Encyclopedia wee wee.

0:19:37.780 --> 0:19:39.140
<v S3>Britannica. Britannica.

0:19:39.460 --> 0:19:40.220
<v S5>No Atlas.

0:19:45.100 --> 0:19:46.380
<v S1>What would we do without Google?

0:19:46.420 --> 0:19:46.820
<v S3>Uh.

0:19:47.140 --> 0:19:49.220
<v S5>Well, you know what we should look at? I got

0:19:49.220 --> 0:19:49.800
<v S5>to read.

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:50.359
<v S1>All the.

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.360
<v S5>Books. Turn left. Dad. Oh, sorry. It's a tree.

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:54.760
<v S1>Then. Then you'd have to go to the front for

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:55.760
<v S1>the city if you went to the town.

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.760
<v S5>I remember that, I remember. I remember when I was

0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:59.480
<v S5>a young bloke, my dad used to be a truck driver,

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.480
<v S5>and I was about 11 going to work with him,

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.479
<v S5>and he was getting lunch and I went under his

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.520
<v S5>seat with this. I said, dad, what's a what's a rebuild?

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.200
<v S5>He said, that's a ride board.

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:11.200
<v S1>What's that?

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:16.720
<v S5>Look. And not like penthouse.

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:17.160
<v S6>Oh.

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:19.520
<v S1>Wow.

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.679
<v S5>Naughty ace. I see none of these.

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:30.080
<v S1>Just one last one before you get in the preview. Um,

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:31.919
<v S1>did you see the vision of Zac Lomax and the

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.040
<v S1>reception he got when he went to PNG? Like I,

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:35.800
<v S1>I admittedly last week I said, geez.

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:36.680
<v S5>What are we thinking?

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:37.280
<v S1>What are we thinking?

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.520
<v S5>Like, like now we're still 18 months out, but what

0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.760
<v S5>are we thinking right now, if you ask me? They

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.480
<v S5>are building a team of individuals. They're not building a

0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.590
<v S5>team of of guys who are going to graft. And

0:20:49.590 --> 0:20:52.270
<v S5>I'm not saying that because my young blood went to bears. Um,

0:20:52.550 --> 0:20:55.790
<v S5>they they have the bears are looking like being a

0:20:55.790 --> 0:20:58.189
<v S5>team that are full of grafters and they're going to

0:20:58.190 --> 0:20:59.469
<v S5>be a team that's going to be very hard to

0:20:59.470 --> 0:20:59.870
<v S5>beat in Perth.

0:20:59.910 --> 0:21:00.270
<v S3>Just work.

0:21:00.270 --> 0:21:02.389
<v S5>Hard. Gonna be working really hard. But at the moment this.

0:21:02.869 --> 0:21:05.670
<v S5>And there's still a long way out. But I think

0:21:05.710 --> 0:21:10.150
<v S5>at the moment that the the PNG pizazz is is

0:21:10.150 --> 0:21:11.590
<v S5>kind of outweighing there.

0:21:11.710 --> 0:21:13.270
<v S3>I like it PNG pizazz.

0:21:13.310 --> 0:21:15.950
<v S5>Yeah, they can use that. Mickey charmers if you want. Um,

0:21:15.990 --> 0:21:19.909
<v S5>I just think at the moment it's outweighing the how

0:21:19.910 --> 0:21:22.830
<v S5>can I put this soul. Yeah, just it just I

0:21:22.830 --> 0:21:23.230
<v S5>don't know.

0:21:23.270 --> 0:21:24.389
<v S1>I'm working with wordsmiths.

0:21:24.430 --> 0:21:25.870
<v S5>I just don't know if it looks. It looks.

0:21:25.910 --> 0:21:28.350
<v S3>I want to see him sign some tradesmen. Tradesmen. I

0:21:28.350 --> 0:21:32.109
<v S3>want some big forwards tear in and rip in. Yeah,

0:21:32.310 --> 0:21:34.550
<v S3>I know they've got some nice backs and everything, but

0:21:34.550 --> 0:21:37.310
<v S3>where are the where are the forwards? Are they going

0:21:37.310 --> 0:21:40.710
<v S3>to get you forward? I'm gonna have to wait and see. Yeah.

0:21:40.750 --> 0:21:42.390
<v S1>Come on Mick. Lift your game.

0:21:42.430 --> 0:21:45.590
<v S5>But it's it's it's fantastic. Like seeing, um, Lomax up

0:21:45.590 --> 0:21:48.270
<v S5>there mobbed by the the kids of the PNG and

0:21:49.010 --> 0:21:51.290
<v S5>then he had, you know, the speech that he made and,

0:21:51.450 --> 0:21:51.850
<v S5>you know.

0:21:52.410 --> 0:21:53.170
<v S1>Good luck to him.

0:21:53.210 --> 0:21:53.850
<v S5>Yeah. You know.

0:21:54.170 --> 0:21:55.850
<v S1>I wouldn't have signed him. But anyway, that's just me.

0:21:56.010 --> 0:21:58.410
<v S5>He's more clubs than Jack Nicholson, more clubs.

0:21:58.530 --> 0:21:59.050
<v S1>Greg Norman.

0:21:59.090 --> 0:22:00.169
<v S5>Jack Nicholson.

0:22:02.050 --> 0:22:02.530
<v S3>More.

0:22:02.930 --> 0:22:04.050
<v S6>You can't handle the truth.

0:22:04.090 --> 0:22:05.570
<v S3>More movies than Jack Nicholson.

0:22:05.650 --> 0:22:06.409
<v S1>Did he play golf.

0:22:07.650 --> 0:22:08.689
<v S3>Clubs than Jack Nicklaus?

0:22:08.730 --> 0:22:11.850
<v S5>I always get the two mixed up Nicholas Nicholson. Nicholson

0:22:11.850 --> 0:22:13.290
<v S5>and Nicholas always going to mix it up.

0:22:13.650 --> 0:22:15.609
<v S1>Did I? I don't think I've ever told this.

0:22:15.609 --> 0:22:17.369
<v S3>That's why you tune in, ladies and gentlemen.

0:22:17.410 --> 0:22:19.090
<v S1>Well, to make you feel better, we did a show.

0:22:19.130 --> 0:22:21.170
<v S1>We did the ill fated summer show here on two

0:22:21.170 --> 0:22:23.690
<v S1>GB and four BC, and we used to broadcast from

0:22:23.690 --> 0:22:24.850
<v S1>the Australian Open. Golf.

0:22:24.890 --> 0:22:27.170
<v S3>Oh, don't do it to him.

0:22:27.210 --> 0:22:28.330
<v S1>No, I'm going to do it to myself.

0:22:28.650 --> 0:22:29.290
<v S3>Yourself.

0:22:29.330 --> 0:22:32.889
<v S1>So anyway, we're talking talking amongst ourselves, blah blah blah. Anyway,

0:22:32.890 --> 0:22:35.450
<v S1>Clint Newton was coming on to the chat. So Nudo

0:22:35.450 --> 0:22:36.810
<v S1>comes over and we're having a chat to him and

0:22:36.810 --> 0:22:38.290
<v S1>all that sort of thing. And I said, oh jeez,

0:22:38.290 --> 0:22:40.130
<v S1>with a name like Newton, you must be a good golfer.

0:22:40.130 --> 0:22:42.649
<v S1>And then Daryl goes, you know who his daddy is,

0:22:42.650 --> 0:22:44.729
<v S1>don't you? And I'm thinking, oh geez, I've embarrassed myself.

0:22:44.730 --> 0:22:46.729
<v S1>I'll never live that down. Who was the other one?

0:22:46.850 --> 0:22:48.270
<v S3>Jack. Jack Newton And what was he?

0:22:48.550 --> 0:22:50.670
<v S1>I didn't know it was his dad. Oh, I just embarrassed.

0:22:50.710 --> 0:22:53.590
<v S3>No, tell. Tell em. Gee, the thirsty story.

0:22:53.630 --> 0:22:53.990
<v S1>Oh.

0:22:55.470 --> 0:22:57.470
<v S3>At the same Australian Open we're sitting there.

0:22:57.510 --> 0:23:00.510
<v S1>So. Right. So, rod, rod, rod Pampling is leading the

0:23:00.510 --> 0:23:02.469
<v S1>Australian Open golf. I think his course record.

0:23:02.550 --> 0:23:02.710
<v S3>Yeah.

0:23:02.750 --> 0:23:04.470
<v S5>Course record was caddy for him.

0:23:04.510 --> 0:23:04.990
<v S3>Oh, really?

0:23:05.190 --> 0:23:05.869
<v S5>Oh, yeah. Simon.

0:23:06.070 --> 0:23:07.590
<v S3>Years ago. Years ago. Yeah.

0:23:07.630 --> 0:23:10.710
<v S1>So Davy Davy just loved sort of taking control when

0:23:10.710 --> 0:23:12.790
<v S1>he thought he knew someone. So we thought rod, we

0:23:12.790 --> 0:23:14.869
<v S1>got handed. Rod Pampling going to come and have a

0:23:14.869 --> 0:23:17.030
<v S1>chat to you. So we're waiting for Rod Pampling to

0:23:17.030 --> 0:23:18.910
<v S1>come over. In the meantime, a bloke comes and sits

0:23:18.910 --> 0:23:20.629
<v S1>down next to me and I'm about to do the

0:23:20.630 --> 0:23:21.550
<v S1>big introduction.

0:23:21.550 --> 0:23:22.070
<v S3>To was it.

0:23:22.510 --> 0:23:22.710
<v S1>Matt.

0:23:22.710 --> 0:23:23.270
<v S3>Guy?

0:23:23.310 --> 0:23:26.590
<v S1>Matt Guy, the Australian golfer. So I've started introducing him

0:23:26.590 --> 0:23:28.750
<v S1>and then thirsty comes in over the top. Well, this

0:23:28.750 --> 0:23:31.750
<v S1>bloke's just shot a course record. Rod Pampling is here

0:23:31.750 --> 0:23:34.830
<v S1>with the tent with a g'day rod and Matt. Guy said, no,

0:23:34.830 --> 0:23:36.149
<v S1>no I'm not rod, I wish I was.

<v S1>really gambling with? Uh, we start off Thursday night footy

0:24:07.330 --> 0:24:10.890
<v S1>in Townsville. Cowboys and Roosters chooks dollar 53 with better

0:24:10.890 --> 0:24:12.210
<v S1>the Cowboys 250.

0:24:12.609 --> 0:24:16.210
<v S5>Um big big out piggy uh read money for mine.

0:24:16.890 --> 0:24:19.490
<v S5>Concussion massive. Um he's dead and back.

0:24:19.890 --> 0:24:23.090
<v S3>No, no. Dead and dead and may not be back

0:24:23.130 --> 0:24:24.050
<v S3>the rest of this season.

0:24:24.050 --> 0:24:26.609
<v S5>Well they got, they, they got a great win last

0:24:26.609 --> 0:24:28.689
<v S5>week without him against the Broncos. But I don't I

0:24:28.690 --> 0:24:31.650
<v S5>think the Roosters are a different gravy. Um I'm I'm

0:24:31.650 --> 0:24:32.530
<v S5>thinking Roosters.

0:24:32.650 --> 0:24:35.090
<v S3>Yeah I'm with em G here. I'd love to see

0:24:35.410 --> 0:24:37.650
<v S3>the Cowboys win because I've got some friends up there

0:24:37.650 --> 0:24:38.530
<v S3>and I'd love to see him.

0:24:38.570 --> 0:24:39.650
<v S5>Yeah yeah you're good mate.

0:24:39.650 --> 0:24:43.570
<v S3>Hawley Hawley's up there and Tony Peyton good bloke. Tony

0:24:43.570 --> 0:24:46.250
<v S3>Peyton catching up with them in the off season. Um,

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:49.680
<v S3>but I just think the roosters the quality they're. Tedesco.

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:53.239
<v S3>We spoke about Cherry Evans. Sammy Walker can't go. You

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.080
<v S3>know who I love at the Roosters. It's just taken

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:58.400
<v S3>over from Hargreaves Naufahu Whyte. Yeah what he does through.

0:24:58.560 --> 0:24:59.760
<v S5>The middle game in the game.

0:24:59.880 --> 0:25:03.200
<v S3>Like he's modeled his game on JWH. And uh yeah

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:04.639
<v S3>he's doing a great job for him.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.760
<v S1>When Stadium 6:00 Friday night. Uh geez. That wind sock

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:12.280
<v S1>will be active. The dragons and the Dolphins. Dolphins $1.25.

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.280
<v S1>The Dragons $4 milligram. We know who piggy's going to

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:17.600
<v S1>tip here. Dragons.

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:20.560
<v S5>Um, yep. Um, and you know the young stick solid

0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:23.080
<v S5>with the same. 13. I like that because um they

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.080
<v S5>were in that first 20 minutes. They looked really good.

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.040
<v S5>They just in the end just I think the Titans

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.359
<v S5>had too much speed for them. Um and that's what

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:32.879
<v S5>Dolphins have got I think with hammer back and Bostock

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:36.320
<v S5>and Farnworth and Sako. And so and I think they're

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:38.320
<v S5>gonna have too much speed. There is an outside chance

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.879
<v S5>that Katoa is back as well after that um fracture

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:43.600
<v S5>in his arm. So um yeah. Dolphins for mine.

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.080
<v S1>Uh, piggy, I want to throw a stat at you

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.220
<v S1>and then you can explain to me why and how

0:25:47.220 --> 0:25:49.820
<v S1>the dragons are going to win. The Dragons have conceded

0:25:49.820 --> 0:25:54.300
<v S1>158 points in four straight losses at win stadium. Piggy. Riddell. Why?

0:25:54.300 --> 0:25:56.580
<v S1>Why will the Dragons win at win Stadium when they've

0:25:56.580 --> 0:25:58.580
<v S1>conceded 158 in their last four?

0:25:58.700 --> 0:26:00.100
<v S3>Because that's all in the past.

0:26:00.460 --> 0:26:00.980
<v S6>Yes.

0:26:01.540 --> 0:26:02.300
<v S3>That's why.

0:26:02.660 --> 0:26:05.060
<v S5>Yesterday's history. Tomorrow's a mystery.

0:26:05.100 --> 0:26:05.419
<v S3>Thank you.

0:26:05.700 --> 0:26:09.060
<v S5>That's why today is a present. That's why it's a gift.

0:26:09.340 --> 0:26:11.460
<v S1>Today's news is tomorrow's fish and chip wrapper.

0:26:12.060 --> 0:26:12.540
<v S3>I'm Timmy.

0:26:12.540 --> 0:26:15.500
<v S5>The dragons don't do that anymore. Put it in chips

0:26:15.500 --> 0:26:16.540
<v S5>in the newspaper.

0:26:16.619 --> 0:26:18.139
<v S3>I think it's got something to do with the ink

0:26:18.580 --> 0:26:19.260
<v S3>on your chips.

0:26:19.500 --> 0:26:20.740
<v S5>Those chips. Beautiful. Oh.

0:26:21.540 --> 0:26:23.220
<v S1>Yeah, but you know what? Think about all those sand

0:26:23.220 --> 0:26:23.820
<v S1>pits we used to.

0:26:23.820 --> 0:26:24.460
<v S3>Sit in as kids.

0:26:24.580 --> 0:26:26.060
<v S5>I know, I know.

0:26:26.100 --> 0:26:30.100
<v S1>Toughen up. Uh, storm Bulldogs, Friday night footy. The Bulldogs

0:26:30.100 --> 0:26:33.980
<v S1>at Aami Park. $1. 55. The storm $2. 45. Outsiders.

0:26:33.980 --> 0:26:34.420
<v S1>We're better.

0:26:34.820 --> 0:26:36.820
<v S3>Uh, I've got to go. The doggies. We just mentioned

0:26:36.859 --> 0:26:39.260
<v S3>the doggies. And they're probably the team that can make

0:26:39.260 --> 0:26:42.580
<v S3>a run into the finals. Uh, sorry. Into that top eight.

0:26:42.619 --> 0:26:43.700
<v S1>No. Harry Grant, of course.

0:26:43.700 --> 0:26:47.600
<v S3>No Harry Grant. Hamstring injury. Jerome Hughes and Wishart in

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:51.440
<v S3>the halves. Trent Talau takes over from Harry Grant. I'm going.

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:52.400
<v S3>The doggies.

0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:54.280
<v S5>Yeah, I think the doggies are starting to look really

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:58.160
<v S5>well with Kikau and Preston back. Yeah. Um. They're looking

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.760
<v S5>they're looking complete at the moment. Um. Connor Tracey has

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:03.679
<v S5>found some fantastic form and I can't see the doggies

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:05.680
<v S5>going down to a Harry grant.

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.720
<v S1>This Storm Jesus is an in-depth preview from you too.

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:09.399
<v S1>I love it.

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:10.480
<v S3>Well, preparation.

0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:11.360
<v S5>It's everything.

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.320
<v S1>I hope, I hope all of our listeners and viewers

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.240
<v S1>are spreading the word about the Mark My Words podcast.

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:15.480
<v S3>Yeah.

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:17.280
<v S1>Please do. Um, Titans Warriors.

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.400
<v S5>Mark my words shirts or something like, you know.

0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:22.280
<v S1>Maybe we should get photos with ourselves. Maybe we should

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:22.919
<v S1>get a character.

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:25.680
<v S5>We've done that in Vegas. Remember the one we got

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:26.560
<v S5>in Vegas?

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:27.680
<v S3>The one their undies.

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:30.920
<v S5>Women for all seasons.

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:31.320
<v S3>Yeah.

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:32.560
<v S1>Put it. Put that into.

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:33.639
<v S5>A French swing.

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.159
<v S1>Put that into AI and see if you can do

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.159
<v S1>a caricature of, of of us or something.

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:38.920
<v S3>We've done all that. We did. We did.

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.119
<v S5>We said to each other, yeah, in the piece. That

0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:46.500
<v S5>was 22 weeks ago. MM. Mhm. It's been a long year.

0:27:46.780 --> 0:27:50.619
<v S1>Come on. Uh. Titans. Warriors. Cbus super Stadium. Saturday 3:00.

0:27:50.660 --> 0:27:54.340
<v S1>Warriors dollar 58. Titans $2.40. Warriors win this, don't they?

0:27:55.180 --> 0:27:56.180
<v S5>It's a danger game.

0:27:56.220 --> 0:27:58.980
<v S3>It is, isn't it. Because Warriors haven't been playing that well.

0:27:59.020 --> 0:28:03.020
<v S3>No I'm not convinced myself at the moment. Titans are

0:28:03.020 --> 0:28:05.260
<v S3>in in a nice little patch. They had a win

0:28:05.260 --> 0:28:06.780
<v S3>over the Dragons last week.

0:28:06.940 --> 0:28:09.699
<v S5>Are you. Are you doing it? What Titans.

0:28:10.420 --> 0:28:12.980
<v S3>This could be my upset for the weekend. I think.

0:28:13.900 --> 0:28:14.500
<v S1>It's supposed to be an.

0:28:14.500 --> 0:28:17.700
<v S3>Expert. If it was that. If it was that Mount Smart.

0:28:17.740 --> 0:28:20.100
<v S3>No chance. But the fact is. Yeah, Gold Coast and

0:28:20.100 --> 0:28:23.220
<v S3>they're getting a little bit of momentum. I'm going to go.

0:28:23.220 --> 0:28:24.979
<v S3>I'm going to tip the Titans. There you go. I'll

0:28:24.980 --> 0:28:25.780
<v S3>tip the upset.

0:28:26.580 --> 0:28:27.980
<v S5>Uh, Warriors. Warriors.

0:28:28.820 --> 0:28:31.500
<v S1>Thanks very much. I'm glad we have one expert on

0:28:31.500 --> 0:28:32.580
<v S1>the panel. Um.

0:28:33.380 --> 0:28:34.820
<v S5>But I see where you come from.

0:28:34.859 --> 0:28:35.219
<v S3>Just you.

0:28:35.220 --> 0:28:35.740
<v S5>Just, I.

0:28:36.300 --> 0:28:41.060
<v S3>I'm coming, I'm coming last. Yeah. Dragons right edge was

0:28:41.060 --> 0:28:43.620
<v S3>horrendous defensively. It was tell me about it.

0:28:43.660 --> 0:28:45.800
<v S1>You watch Titans are going to win. You know what?

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:48.000
<v S1>Titans gonna win. I'm going to back him. Yeah. Jeez.

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:50.840
<v S1>I got a feeling. Now go to the Titan quick

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:55.040
<v S1>I will, uh, Panthers. Oh, Panthers. We are off to

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.480
<v S1>the Wembley of the West. Shout out to Ken Sutcliffe,

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:01.160
<v S1>Mister wide world of Sports muggy Saturday 530 Panthers dollar

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:02.800
<v S1>32 Raiders 340.

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.120
<v S5>Well, um, I'm going to ask you a question in

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.600
<v S5>a second, um, without notice. So I want to ask

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.640
<v S5>you what's been your moment of the year thus far.

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.680
<v S5>So have a quick thought. Why. MG because last year

0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:15.480
<v S5>the moment of the year was this. We were out

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:19.200
<v S5>at um was it the Willows with. Uh, yeah. At

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:20.120
<v S5>Arthur's Pub.

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:21.520
<v S1>Yep. Twin willows, twin willows.

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:25.480
<v S5>Yeah. Commentating this game the Panthers and the Raiders was the.

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:26.480
<v S3>Oh is that the one where the.

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.120
<v S5>Miracle the miracle of Mudgee when they scored on the

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:30.160
<v S5>bell in Golden.

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:30.360
<v S3>Point.

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:34.720
<v S5>Yeah. Um, I they've dropped, uh, Blake's taulagi.

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:36.880
<v S3>Yeah. To the bench. Yeah. Gone with um.

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:37.400
<v S5>With uh.

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:37.960
<v S3>Cogger.

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.800
<v S5>Yeah. Um, and look, Dylan Edwards is in back. There

0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:43.320
<v S5>is a sniff of an upset here, but I don't

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:46.430
<v S5>think so, I think that I think Panthers could be

0:29:46.430 --> 0:29:49.150
<v S5>too strong, because if any two got Nathan clear in it,

0:29:49.150 --> 0:29:51.790
<v S5>you can't go against Panthers. Um.

0:29:52.110 --> 0:29:54.390
<v S1>Moment of the moment. Oh, actually, I can answer that.

0:29:54.390 --> 0:29:55.230
<v S5>It's gotta be Alex Johnson.

0:29:55.230 --> 0:29:55.950
<v S1>Yeah. Alex Johnson.

0:29:56.310 --> 0:29:56.750
<v S3>Oh yeah.

0:29:57.990 --> 0:29:59.430
<v S5>It's got to be Alex Johnson yeah.

0:29:59.550 --> 0:30:01.870
<v S3>Alex a the New South Wales origin series win.

0:30:01.910 --> 0:30:02.469
<v S5>That's got to be.

0:30:02.510 --> 0:30:03.470
<v S3>That's not far behind.

0:30:03.510 --> 0:30:06.430
<v S5>I think on the podium has been Milky season.

0:30:06.430 --> 0:30:06.950
<v S3>Yeah.

0:30:06.990 --> 0:30:07.950
<v S5>Like breaking.

0:30:07.950 --> 0:30:08.350
<v S3>Your record.

0:30:08.710 --> 0:30:09.030
<v S5>Breaking.

0:30:09.030 --> 0:30:12.110
<v S3>Records. Yeah jeez we just come up with three there.

0:30:12.150 --> 0:30:12.590
<v S5>Yeah. There you.

0:30:12.590 --> 0:30:12.870
<v S3>Go.

0:30:13.070 --> 0:30:16.790
<v S1>Actually I've got a highlight of this season. Magic round

0:30:17.390 --> 0:30:20.550
<v S1>m g walking back into the hotel after running into

0:30:20.550 --> 0:30:25.790
<v S1>a family member and he was inebriated, he looked at

0:30:25.790 --> 0:30:29.830
<v S1>me and he said, he's putting himself to bed. I said,

0:30:29.830 --> 0:30:30.470
<v S1>that was a highlight.

0:30:30.550 --> 0:30:32.510
<v S5>Weren't you speaking of yourself in the third person? You know,

0:30:32.510 --> 0:30:32.950
<v S5>it's time to.

0:30:33.070 --> 0:30:33.510
<v S3>Time to go.

0:30:33.550 --> 0:30:35.430
<v S1>Now. The best the best part about it was there

0:30:35.430 --> 0:30:37.910
<v S1>were two people in the bar area that were waiting

0:30:37.910 --> 0:30:40.150
<v S1>to meet you, because I think you'd organised to see them.

0:30:40.430 --> 0:30:42.110
<v S1>M G walks back in and sits at the table

0:30:42.110 --> 0:30:45.090
<v S1>with me and the continuous call. Team colleagues. Anyway, M.G.

0:30:45.130 --> 0:30:46.970
<v S1>gets up and goes to bed. The people over the

0:30:46.970 --> 0:30:48.969
<v S1>back go. Where did he go? Where did M.G. go?

0:30:49.010 --> 0:30:49.890
<v S1>We're here to meet him.

0:30:52.730 --> 0:30:53.250
<v S5>Sorry.

0:30:53.410 --> 0:30:54.209
<v S1>Anyway, here's what.

0:30:54.210 --> 0:30:54.330
<v S3>It.

0:30:54.330 --> 0:30:59.290
<v S1>Is. Yeah. Uh, Brian, 150 NRL games. Congratulations to Brian.

0:30:59.570 --> 0:31:01.130
<v S5>He has missed many either over that period.

0:31:01.170 --> 0:31:03.410
<v S3>But you know what? I don't know, am I wrong

0:31:03.410 --> 0:31:05.090
<v S3>in saying I probably thought he already would have had

0:31:05.090 --> 0:31:08.130
<v S3>150 under his belt. MM. Thought he'd be more than that.

0:31:08.290 --> 0:31:14.010
<v S1>735 Saturday Broncos night Suncorp Knights. 250 Broncos dollar. 53 favourites.

0:31:14.130 --> 0:31:19.250
<v S5>I think they're two decimated Dylan Edwards, Dylan Edwards, Dillon. Lucas, Dylan, um,

0:31:19.290 --> 0:31:23.690
<v S5>Dylan Brown uh, Ponga still 5050 with that quad injury.

0:31:23.690 --> 0:31:26.850
<v S5>So Broncos Broncos would be they'd be livid. They got

0:31:26.890 --> 0:31:29.090
<v S5>beat by the Cowboys who ended their season last week.

0:31:29.090 --> 0:31:31.170
<v S1>So jeez what what about this? For a start, the

0:31:31.170 --> 0:31:35.010
<v S1>Broncos have scored 199 points in six straight wins over

0:31:35.010 --> 0:31:35.370
<v S1>the night.

0:31:35.370 --> 0:31:36.370
<v S5>That's a lot of points.

0:31:36.370 --> 0:31:37.130
<v S3>That's a lot of points.

0:31:37.370 --> 0:31:37.690
<v S1>Wow.

0:31:37.810 --> 0:31:38.810
<v S5>It's only 30 a game.

0:31:38.930 --> 0:31:39.770
<v S1>Are you tipping piggy?

0:31:40.090 --> 0:31:40.450
<v S3>Yep.

0:31:40.490 --> 0:31:41.450
<v S1>Damn Broncos.

0:31:41.450 --> 0:31:41.810
<v S5>Broncos.

0:31:41.810 --> 0:31:42.170
<v S3>Broncos.

0:31:42.390 --> 0:31:45.989
<v S1>Sharks and South Sydney at Ocean Protect Stadium. Sharks and

0:31:45.990 --> 0:31:50.030
<v S1>the Better market $1.30. My bunnies $3.50. Outsiders.

0:31:50.910 --> 0:31:51.710
<v S3>Sharks.

0:31:52.430 --> 0:31:55.150
<v S5>Yeah I think sharks I think um what are the

0:31:55.150 --> 0:31:56.390
<v S5>injuries like for um.

0:31:56.430 --> 0:31:59.550
<v S3>No Brendan Smith surely he won't play will he. He's named.

0:31:59.550 --> 0:32:01.110
<v S3>But remember he came off, he.

0:32:01.110 --> 0:32:02.150
<v S1>Looked like a bloody sniper.

0:32:03.270 --> 0:32:05.390
<v S5>And look they've still got Cam Murray and they've still

0:32:05.390 --> 0:32:09.230
<v S5>got Duncan out. And last week if Harry Grant stays

0:32:09.230 --> 0:32:11.630
<v S5>on that field they win by 20 points. Yeah. Melbourne.

0:32:11.670 --> 0:32:13.990
<v S1>Yeah. What about Nicho Hynes. I was watching the footy

0:32:14.310 --> 0:32:17.110
<v S1>Sunday wasn't it. Yeah I was watching it on um

0:32:17.230 --> 0:32:20.790
<v S1>channel nine. 26 consecutive attempts at goal. Yeah 26 in

0:32:20.790 --> 0:32:20.950
<v S1>a row.

0:32:20.990 --> 0:32:21.870
<v S3>That's outstanding.

0:32:22.030 --> 0:32:23.990
<v S1>How do you get back in your kicking days.

0:32:24.190 --> 0:32:25.870
<v S3>Not 26 mate I know.

0:32:25.910 --> 0:32:27.350
<v S5>Who would you pick if you had to have someone

0:32:27.350 --> 0:32:28.190
<v S5>kick for your life.

0:32:28.230 --> 0:32:30.430
<v S3>Oh at the moment yeah. Cleary.

0:32:30.470 --> 0:32:30.990
<v S1>Nathan Cleary.

0:32:31.030 --> 0:32:31.350
<v S5>I'd have.

0:32:31.350 --> 0:32:32.830
<v S3>Cleary. Yeah yeah yeah.

0:32:32.870 --> 0:32:34.270
<v S5>What about just the.

0:32:34.950 --> 0:32:35.510
<v S3>Halligan.

0:32:36.310 --> 0:32:36.590
<v S1>Not.

0:32:37.510 --> 0:32:38.030
<v S3>Halligan.

0:32:38.870 --> 0:32:39.790
<v S5>He's got the record hasn't he.

0:32:39.830 --> 0:32:42.650
<v S1>Remember that. Remember that Masri kick in Newcastle. Oh.

0:32:42.970 --> 0:32:46.330
<v S5>Joey under the post. He threw his mouth guard down there. Yeah.

0:32:46.690 --> 0:32:49.890
<v S1>Um. All right. And, uh, Sharky's there. You know what?

0:32:49.890 --> 0:32:53.010
<v S1>I'm going to tip him, I bet. Souse and the Titans. Oh,

0:32:53.050 --> 0:32:55.770
<v S1>and the other two upsets. Okay. Um. Tigers and eels.

0:32:55.770 --> 0:32:58.930
<v S1>Commbank Stadium. Oh, the Jarome Luai cup.

0:32:59.170 --> 0:33:00.090
<v S5>Yep. Oh.

0:33:00.090 --> 0:33:01.770
<v S3>It is. We'll be out there on Sunday.

0:33:01.810 --> 0:33:04.010
<v S1>Dollar 40 eels, 295 tigers.

0:33:04.570 --> 0:33:05.290
<v S3>Eels.

0:33:05.450 --> 0:33:10.010
<v S5>My eels $2.95 is great money for the tigers with the.

0:33:10.490 --> 0:33:14.290
<v S5>Every time there's controversy, Jarome Luai and Adam Dewey will

0:33:14.290 --> 0:33:18.450
<v S5>be on absolute fire. The game has been quiet. He

0:33:18.490 --> 0:33:22.010
<v S5>needs a big game to reel. May likewise and Koroisau.

0:33:22.050 --> 0:33:24.130
<v S5>They all will. And I think they'll be. That's my

0:33:24.170 --> 0:33:27.010
<v S5>bet of the round Tigers to win. Jerome Bulla to score.

0:33:27.810 --> 0:33:28.210
<v S3>MM.

0:33:29.370 --> 0:33:34.690
<v S1>Eels pregnant. Pause. All right. We go to the best bets.

0:33:34.730 --> 0:33:37.010
<v S1>Levees like piggies. Pick em g. Multi. Well I'm going

0:33:37.010 --> 0:33:38.610
<v S1>to do the uh. I'm going to go out there

0:33:38.610 --> 0:33:40.730
<v S1>a bit. I'm going to go Souths and the Titans

0:33:40.730 --> 0:33:41.250
<v S1>head to head.

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.760
<v S3>All right. Well, I already went mine.

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:45.240
<v S1>This is all thanks to better our mates.

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.600
<v S3>We love better. MG, you can go.

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:51.800
<v S5>Yeah. I'm going. Um. Tigers who are $2. $2. 95. Uh,

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:54.720
<v S5>to win plus dream bullet score. That'd be about seven bucks.

0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:57.160
<v S3>All right, I'm going. Titans to win and Keanu Kenny

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.000
<v S3>to score a double. Double.

0:33:59.040 --> 0:33:59.760
<v S1>Isn't he a play?

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:02.080
<v S3>Keanu, Kenny, what a double!

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:04.960
<v S5>You twisted your arm.

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:06.240
<v S3>Why not?

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.680
<v S5>He's a grab. All these little halfbacks are fullbacks. We've

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:10.799
<v S5>got that game at the moment, I love it, I

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:11.400
<v S5>love it.

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.760
<v S1>Here's a question for you. I asked I asked Tony McGowan,

0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:17.160
<v S1>the continuous call team last week, and I said, who

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:20.200
<v S1>was the greatest player he ever saw from a sideline perspective.

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:23.280
<v S1>He said, Steve Rogers. Rogers. Yeah. Who's the greatest player

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:26.120
<v S1>you ever came up against or laid eyes on over

0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:26.600
<v S1>the years?

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:30.520
<v S5>Well, to play in person was probably Bradley Clyde. Like

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:34.319
<v S5>just to play and see how robust he was and

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:36.879
<v S5>how fit he was. And but the speed of Brett

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:39.520
<v S5>Mullins was always something that took me by surprise. Like

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:41.700
<v S5>I was seeing it live. He went, what the f?

0:34:41.739 --> 0:34:44.420
<v S5>How fast is that bloke? And he just was really

0:34:44.460 --> 0:34:46.420
<v S5>laconic when he's run. Yeah. It wasn't.

0:34:46.860 --> 0:34:47.140
<v S3>Easy.

0:34:47.180 --> 0:34:49.540
<v S5>A very easy man. It was so easy for him

0:34:49.540 --> 0:34:49.940
<v S5>to do.

0:34:49.980 --> 0:34:51.540
<v S1>I know it's a random question. I just it just

0:34:51.540 --> 0:34:52.860
<v S1>popped into my head. What about you, pig?

0:34:53.060 --> 0:34:53.780

<v S3>Andrew. Jones.

0:34:55.500 --> 0:34:56.980
<v S1>Did you ever come up against him? Yeah.

0:34:57.020 --> 0:35:00.859
<v S3>Yeah, yeah, lots. I've told the stories. Yeah, well, actually, no,

0:35:00.860 --> 0:35:01.140
<v S3>I haven't.

0:35:01.180 --> 0:35:02.620
<v S5>You've told us after the game.

0:35:02.660 --> 0:35:03.060
<v S3>Yeah.

0:35:03.739 --> 0:35:04.620

0:35:04.739 --> 0:35:06.180

0:35:10.300 --> 0:35:10.700
<v S1>that one.

0:35:10.860 --> 0:35:11.260
<v S6>No.

0:35:11.420 --> 0:35:13.900
<v S1>It involved a sledge to Andrew and it wasn't very nice.

0:35:13.940 --> 0:35:16.620
<v S3>No, no. We've all kissed and made up.

0:35:16.660 --> 0:35:20.100

0:35:24.060 --> 0:35:25.420
