1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Nine podcasts, Great to be with You for six Tackles

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: with Gus for another week, looking at round fourteen of

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: the competition, the year pretty much halfway over, Believe it

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: or Not?

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: And an action packed episode today Locky Galvin's officially a Bulldog.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: Could Tom Traboy bitch head to the English Super League?

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: Surely not? Could Brat Fitler be back in the coaches

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: box as Kangaroo's boss this year? The Broncos continue to struggle.

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: We've got a whole host of ask Gus questions, including

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: the latest viral trend. I'm going to ask Gus who

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: are his sporting goats across a whole different range of

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: sports because he is an all rounder with thanks to

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: the tab. Welcome Gus.

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: Matthew Thompson. How are you doing?

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: Going well?

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: You're good, I'm excellent. Much happening? No, Pretty quiet at

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: the moment, Pretty quiet at the moment.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: Wh I don't I believe that?

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: Got a big week this week? Hoping to fill a

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: Core stadium on Monday for the big.

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: Clash the Bulldog versus the Eel.

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: Got forty five thousand to that game last year, but

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: both teams going well should get a lot more.

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 2: This year, both going very well. That game on Sunday

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: was a cracking game, and could you believe it was

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: seventeenth versus fifteenth Penrith versus Para. It was like a.

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: Final incredible standard. I mean, the way Paramatter has improved

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: this year is a credit to all of them. A

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: new coach, Jason Rolls, and we sort of said it

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: earlier of the year when they were struggling. You know,

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: you get Mitchell Moses back, things are going to look

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: a hell of a lot different, and they have. But

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: there's no doubt that Jason Roles has really made a

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: big difference there and they're improving with every week. And

35
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: the game on the weekend against the Panthers, I mean,

36
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: we know how desperate the Panthers are at the moment,

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: and we know what they can produce when they're at

38
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: their best, and they had to pull out all stops

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: to get the Eels on the weekend, I thought it

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: was a terrific round of football. Actually, the games on

41
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: Sunday in particular were really good. I mean the round

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: started on Friday night. Dragon versus Night was months of

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: a game. Dragons were professional and got it done. The

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: Storm and the Titans. Well that was sort of in

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: the balance for a while. What about Cowboy versus West Tiger.

46
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what a game that. It was shades

47
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: of a few years back. Didn't the Tigers come rollicking

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: back up there.

49
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: In the Buntsville.

50
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: They've done that a few times. Yeah, And there was

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: some controversy on the kickoff.

52
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: It was a penalty. It was all time bill.

53
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: It was thirty two six, and I thought, well, I'll

54
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: go and buy some dinner before I watched the seven

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: thirty game. I went up the raid to get something

56
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: to me. By the time I got there was thirty

57
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: two twenty twenty four or something.

58
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: So I was in We record this at two GB

59
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: in Sydney. I was actually in here because I call

60
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: one of the Saturday games for the Continuous Call team.

61
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: I was doing the nighttime game and Daryl Browman and

62
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: Goal do the five thirty game though with Mark Levy

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: this week, and Gal said at thirty two to six,

64
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: if the Tigers come back, I'll eat Darryl's underpants.

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: Oh I heard yeah.

66
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: And so they just scored and scored and scored and scored,

67
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: and Gow was getting very very scared, and Daryl was

68
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: farting in his underas and trying to make it as

69
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: unsafe for as possible. That'd be big for Daryl's underpants.

70
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: The big results Seagle versus Bronco thirty four to six.

71
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: We tipped manly, but I didn't see that scoreline. I've

72
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: got to be honest. That was great performance from Manley,

73
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: disappointing from the Broncos. The Rabbits and Warriors similar to

74
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: the Tigers and Cowboys. Warriors got out to a big

75
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: league but the Rabbit Oz you can never write them off.

76
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: Alex Johnson getting closer to his record Panthers and Earls

77
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 3: was a cracking game. Cracking game, and then if you

78
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: thought it couldn't get any better, I thought the Roosters

79
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: versus Raiders was an outstanding game. Was absolutely brilliant, absolutely brilliant,

80
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: and they're going so good, the Raiders and the Roosters.

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: He's coming back in New South Wales Cup this week,

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: so he won't be far away from the NRL and

83
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: that's going to make a big difference to them too.

84
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: They've got some great young talent coming through. We've been

85
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: talking about that all year and they're not far away

86
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: from putting some games together, So this competition, it could

87
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: flip on its head. We just don't know where it's

88
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: going to go over the next twelve weeks. As you say,

89
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: we're halfway through the year, but a long long way

90
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: to go.

91
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: You mentioned the Broncos. We might as well deal with

92
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: this now. That was the game I called on the weekend.

93
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: I was just scratching my head. There just looks to

94
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: be the lack of care. Yeah, look, a lack of urgency.

95
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: I don't believe that. I don't see that.

96
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: And I know that was the commentary during the game

97
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: and since the game, and it tends to all feed

98
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: on each other. And this is what happens with our media.

99
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: I'm watching the game and I'm not seeing lack of

100
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: effort and I'm not seeing lack of care. Right. The

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: scoreboard influences people's opinions. The scoreboard makes it. They must

102
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 3: feel like that, and I think people get influenced by

103
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: the scoreboard a lot when they critique these performances. Interestingly,

104
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: after the AIM, they interviewed Adam Reynolds, and we interviewed

105
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: him again at one hundred percent fourty. He said there

106
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: were some real positives to take out of the performance.

107
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: So I went back and watched the game again, and

108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: I saw a lot of individual effort. I saw a

109
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: lot of care, and I saw a lot of frustration.

110
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 3: And the body language of the players is not so

111
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: much despondent, and it's not so much we don't care

112
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: about what's happening. Is that they look a little bit

113
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 3: helpless at the moment as to why it's going the

114
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: way it is. It's I see individual effort. I don't

115
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: see lack of care at all, and I certainly can't

116
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: label them with that. I don't see lack of effort

117
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: at all. In fact, I think sometimes they're their own

118
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: worst enemy because they're overtrying. There's a fine line between

119
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: that and then getting your win and getting a little

120
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: bit of confidence back. But right at the moment, they're

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: playing without confidence, without cohesion, and without without direction. And

122
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: I don't that's not a slight on the leaders of

123
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: the team and giving them direction. It's just that they're

124
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 3: too frantic in what they're doing. They're trying to solve

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: problems instantly rather than taking a longer term approach to it,

126
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: and it kind of spirals out of control for them.

127
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: Add to the fact that mainly were very good. Mainly

128
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: were bouncing back from a disappointing performance a week before,

129
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: I mean a week earlier. Mainly got routed by paramatter

130
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: at PARAMOUNTA Stadium, got absolutely embarrassed. Cherry Evans came back

131
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: from Origin where he was roundly criticized because Queensland had

132
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: beaten beat and I think unfairly criticized, and had a

133
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: stormer of a game, and they scored some freaky manly

134
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: tries too that you know you're not going to score

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: against anyone. So what happens is the scoreboard runs against them.

136
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: Everyone who tipped Brisbane Broncos gets disappointed. Everyone thinks the

137
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: Brisbane Broncos should be doing this and that, and the

138
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: scoreboard runs against them, and all of a sudden they

139
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: start saying lack of care and lacking and.

140
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't say, I don't see that. Well, I was

141
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, And this is my observation. It's

142
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: not I'm not echoing other people in the media are

143
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: saying it was the f You talk about effort areas,

144
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: and that's sort of something that you know, when you

145
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: sort of watch the game a lot, you kind of

146
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: you look out for that stuff like the kickchase was poor.

147
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: They didn't contest any kicks like I was just I

148
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: was mystified watching those sorts of things, just urgency, Blake's

149
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: looking at each other when the ball was rolling into

150
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: the goal, off for manly attacking kick and stuff like that.

151
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe, as you say that manifests itself in

152
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: lack of confidence. Perhaps so, maybe it's not a lack

153
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: of care, but certainly in some of those areas, I

154
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: didn't appear to be up to scratch.

155
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: That's what I call cohesion. I don't see a lack

156
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: of individual effort. I thought there were some players that

157
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: really tried hard, really tried hard. I mean, who could

158
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: fault the performance of paying Hearts and what he did

159
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: backing up from enormous the Origin game. And he had

160
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: plenty He had plenty of teammates too, that were really

161
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: trying hard. There are others, you know, like football, that's

162
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: a funny game. You get dragged along with momentum. When

163
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: the side is going good players can rise to the

164
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: occasion and they can be a part of the effort.

165
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: You get shrinkers and you get growers. There are some

166
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: that shrink under pressure, and there are some that grow

167
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: under pressure. There are some that are really good when

168
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 3: the going is good, and there are some that kind

169
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: of fade back into the background a little bit when

170
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: things aren't going good. They become small targets. They don't

171
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: want to be the problem with the side. It's up

172
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: to someone else to solve it. And I'm not saying

173
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 3: that's rife in the broncos I'm just saying that there

174
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: are growers and shrinkers are there when the game is

175
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: not going for them, and when the game is going,

176
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: when the game is going good for them, they're awesome.

177
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: And that's what everybody sees. So they expect that to

178
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 3: happen all the time. But when things go against them,

179
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: they just don't know how to handle the setback. They

180
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: don't know how to handle the difficulty in the game.

181
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: They don't know how to handle the scoreboard. That's what

182
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 3: they don't know how to handle. Because the further the

183
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: scoreboard run against them, the worse it got for them

184
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: in their execution. And in those areas, Adam Reynolds is

185
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: out there, it's mental. Adam Reynolds is out there on

186
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: the field, and Adam Reynolds is not a deal. He's

187
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: not going to he's not going to come hold after

188
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: the thing and make a fool of himself. He said,

189
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: I saw some really positive signs. There are things we

190
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: can take out of that, so he's feeling it during

191
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: the game. I think the problems with them mainly are mentally,

192
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: and I think that these are things that they just

193
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: need to settle down. And it's not going to be

194
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: sold overnight. But I think there are some simple fixes

195
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: mentally that can get them back on track and help

196
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: them deal with their difficulties a little bit better than

197
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: what they're dealing with it at the moment, because when

198
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: they get on the front foot, they're an awesome football team.

199
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: They've got great talent. Now, I'm not writing them off

200
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: at all. I'm not writing them off at all, nor

201
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: am I nor am I being overly critical of them either.

202
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: I'm certainly not going to label them with lack of

203
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: effort or lack of care. I'm not going to I'm

204
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: not going to label them with that. When you see us,

205
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: i'd like that. And whether they want one of their

206
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: last seven or something or other. All of a sudden,

207
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: oh you know, the players are off with the coach.

208
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: Where the coaches lost the dressing room or players. Aren't

209
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: you happy here? That's rubbish. I don't see that at all.

210
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: I just don't see that. But right at the moment,

211
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 3: they just need to take a breath of fresh air.

212
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: They need to sit and relax, and they need to

213
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: get in that room full of mirrors. Whether they can

214
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: all take accountability for what's going wrong and what's not

215
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: going right and sort it out. You can only sort

216
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: it out amongst yourselves. No one else is going to

217
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: come and help them. There's no cavalry coming over the hill.

218
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: No one's going to come and provide the solution for them.

219
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: They have to find it for themselves, and the answers

220
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: are in the dirt, mate.

221
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: You've got to dig it out. They can't seriously be

222
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: talking about attributing any of this to the coaching methods,

223
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: can they. I mean, you hear these whispers about Brisbane

224
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: and coaching.

225
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: But those sort of rumors come when results aren't what

226
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: everybody expected.

227
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: They brought the coach into be a disciplinarian, and now

228
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: there's stuff leaking out or allegedly leaking out, saying he's

229
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: too tough.

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't win, But I don't believe that well.

231
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: I don't believe that either. I don't believe that. I

232
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: just don't believe that. Yeah, but that's what people say

233
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: about any club that's struggling where people expected better. So

234
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think that's an issue.

235
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, all right. Alex Johnston will break

236
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: the record this year, Gus.

237
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: Well, Cadie Walker's back, they get Latrell back full time

238
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: after the Origin. What did the score on the weekend three?

239
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 3: They got Jack White and to come back, they may

240
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: get Cameron Murray back. Campbell Graham's got to get some

241
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: footy under his belt. But I think if you and

242
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: I played on the left wing for South Sydney would

243
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: be a chance of scoring triese every week. Anyone to

244
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: be a little stretch. Anyone who plays on the left

245
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: wing there seems to score tries. I've made this point

246
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: a few times. What's he on now? Two hundred?

247
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: Is it two hundred?

248
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: I think he had a whole season off there where

249
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 3: Robert Jennings scored twenty tries on the left wing. I

250
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: think whoever's played on the left wing for Sow Sydney

251
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: in recent times it'scored plenty of tries, So he could

252
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: rack it up in the next month if he keeps

253
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: going the way he's going and sow Sydney. I mean

254
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: Cadie Walker's back now left side Latrell Mental, left side

255
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: Jack White and left side Kracky. You and I could

256
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: score tries on that wing.

257
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they can win the comp but

258
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: they're a dark horse. South at full strength.

259
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: There's a few dark horses who can win the comp.

260
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 3: You tell me who his favorite to win this premiership.

261
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 3: I think the winners well hidden. You know, everyone assumes

262
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: that Melbourne will get it right at the right time,

263
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: and they're short priced favorites, but that's only because people

264
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: can't work the rest of the competition out. And how

265
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 3: it looks the Broncos have got people missed. The Sharks,

266
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: we can't decide whether they're in or out. And the

267
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: Warriors are up there and the Raiders up there. You've

268
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: got to start believing what your eyes are telling you.

269
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, with those sides, you've also got to start believing

270
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: what the ladder's telling And you've left the Bulldogs out.

271
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, fly long way to go there, But I'm

272
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: just saying.

273
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: That it's around fourteen.

274
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a long way to go. I'm just saying,

275
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: you know, and the Panthers, I mean, I know, don't

276
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: write the Panthers off. Just don't write them off. You know,

277
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: a team like the Dolphins could make a run, really

278
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: manly could make a run. You win half a dozen

279
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 3: games in a row in this camp, you leap frog everybody,

280
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: you just do. You know, we're halfway through the competition.

281
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: Where's the ladder at the moment? Let me shave them?

282
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: So we're halfway. What I hate is the buys. Why

283
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: do we get two points per buy? It just confuses it,

284
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: It just confuses everything.

285
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: Everything.

286
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: But the team running eighth right at the moment on

287
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: the team running eighth is the Dragons, who have had

288
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: two buyers and five wins, so they're not really running eight.

289
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: The Rabbits are running eighth with a six and six record,

290
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: So fifty percent looks like it will get you in,

291
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: all right, But there are there.

292
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: Are Sixteenth is on four wins.

293
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so sixteenth is on four wins, so they're not

294
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: that far away.

295
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: Eight is on five.

296
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: Like you could easily see the Panthers winning four or

297
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: five in a row, you know, at some stage, and

298
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: they're going to leave Frog a lot of sides, even

299
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: the Eels. I mean, don't you know the way they're

300
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: playing at the moment. Mitchell mases back with football unders

301
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: built after the Origin, they could put a string of

302
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: wins together. Now the Storm, the Storm has lost four

303
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: games now, No one expected that. Warriors and Raiders. That

304
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: was a great game a fortnight ago, and both of

305
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: them backed it up with big wins again on the weekend. Yeah,

306
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: it's a it's a funny comp It's a funny game

307
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: rugby league.

308
00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: So I've been told DC will be picked for Origin too. Well.

309
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: I hope so, and I believe he should be. And

310
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm not critical of his Origin one performance. It would

311
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: be very, very hard at that level to play behind

312
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: a pack that was beaten the way it was. I

313
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: don't think he had the possession or the field position

314
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: to make his mark in the game as a rebelt.

315
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Well.

316
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: Both he and Munster were underpression. Neither of them really

317
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: did much in the game, to be honest, none of

318
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: their playmakers did. Harry Grant didn't do much and Calm

319
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: Ponger didn't do much. He was well contained, but they

320
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: were beaten up in the forwards and forwards win games.

321
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: The backs just decide by how many and unfortunately the

322
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: Queensland Fords just didn't get it done on the night.

323
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: New South Wales were too dominant. They just well they

324
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: dominated them. It was as simple as that, and it

325
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: was a very very good win. I've expressed what I

326
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: think the changes Queensland should make. I think they need

327
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: to help Harry Grant. I think they need to turn

328
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: Harry Grant into an asset and his best origin football

329
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: is coming up off the bench. They need a hooker

330
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: to start the game. They need someone to start the

331
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: game for the first twenty minutes to keep him out

332
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: of the physical barrage that he gets so that when

333
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: he comes on to the field he's a weapon and

334
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: he can do something really good for Queensland. I think

335
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: they need the leadership of Cherry Evans. They need his

336
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: kicking game. He showed his class on the weekend. He

337
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: destroyed the Broncos with his kicking game and he's passing game.

338
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be dropping the half back because there is

339
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: no ready made replacement for him. I know Tommy didn''

340
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: is probably origin half back in waiting. He doesn't even

341
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: play half back for his club. He came on the field,

342
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: you know, well into the contests the other night, and

343
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: he was sharp and danced around and jumped around there.

344
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 3: One said, well, that's exciting. Let's put him in well,

345
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: put him out there at the start and let New

346
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: south Wales bang thirty tackles into him and see if

347
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: he's still so sprightly after thirty minutes when he comes on.

348
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: It's a different thing coming off the bench to starting

349
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: a game, particularly when you're playing the class of the

350
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: New South Wales side. This is a very very good

351
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: New south Wales side. It's a good Queensline side. You know,

352
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: I was surprised how dominant was, but New South Wales's

353
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: had a lot of ball early there. Forwards rumbled forward.

354
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: New South Wales played it really smart on clearing and

355
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: Moses played it smart and they were just too good

356
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 3: for them on the night. Game two could be completely

357
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 3: different if Queensland can get the jump on them and

358
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: handle the first twenty minutes better and keep themselves in

359
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: the contest, and you know, Cherry Evans and Monster can

360
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 3: get a little bit more feel position. Who knows what

361
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 3: might happen. So I still think the Blues will be

362
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 3: too strong, but you know, it's origin.

363
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 2: Anything can happen. So Queens that have been pumped in

364
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: their two games in Perth, but both times they've been

365
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 2: out there of one game one, so they've never been

366
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: there before trying to keep the series alive and that's

367
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: a very different dynamic, very.

368
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: Very different for them, but very different for them.

369
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: Brad Fieler will be the new Australian coach.

370
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: Why not? Why not? We spoke about Cameron Smith the

371
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: other night. I think with the Australian job, it's very

372
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: very handy if you have experience in and around the

373
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: Australian camps. Situation tours, short preparations, end of season preparations,

374
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: mid season preparations, lengthy tours and you know, and where

375
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 3: are they going to get the end of the year

376
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: the kangaroo to it? Are they going to win? Is

377
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: Mel going to do that? Or is he going to

378
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 3: start with?

379
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: The understanding is is to be named as the new

380
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: coach of Perth this week and you'll have to stand

381
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: down immediately, Okay, And the AARL Commission wants to appoint

382
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: a new Australian coach pretty much straight away.

383
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I think I think Brad Fittler is the

384
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 3: right choice in waiting. I think he's done his time.

385
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: He's he's worked at all levels of representative football, from

386
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: under sixteens and under eighteings and forming the pathways for

387
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: the new South Wales origin coach at the Origin level,

388
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: played at the Origin level, played at the Test level.

389
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: He's the one with experience of those camps. Cameron Smith

390
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 3: down the track. Obviously, he's got a legends record, is

391
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 3: the greatest player number of games played as any player,

392
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: and he'll get his turn as well. But I think

393
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: if you go in order of qualification, then Brad Feitdler's

394
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 3: well qualified to do the job if he wants. I

395
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: don't know if he wants it. I don't know if

396
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 3: he wants it. There's anyone well.

397
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: I think he was asked on Sunday on Sports Sunday

398
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 2: and his comment was well, I haven't had any direct discussions,

399
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: but you know, I think it's a job that i'd

400
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: be interested.

401
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: I think it's a job if someone asked you to

402
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: do it, you'd probably say yeah, oh for sure. I

403
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: think he's I think he yeah.

404
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: And Camp said the same thing on Monday night.

405
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think Cameron's got any ambition to coach,

406
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 3: but he said the Australian side would be something that

407
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: he would consider because it's a bit different and I

408
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 3: think for those players that make that level of football,

409
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: particularly with a kangaroo tour or end of season, you know,

410
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: when they've played a hard and long, hard season and

411
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: they need to go in and get ready for a

412
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: try series or you know a three match Test series

413
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: against England or New Zealand or mid mid season tests.

414
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: I just think that to have have been in and

415
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 3: around and experience what the Australian camp looks like and

416
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: feels like and how it should be run and sort

417
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: of how they bring their football together, I think that's

418
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 3: that's hugely advantageous. So yeah, well you know, if he

419
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: wants it, I hope he gets it.

420
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: Do you think they've been any blowback about Brad's track

421
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: record with exploiting people's bar tabs on kangaroo tours?

422
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: Well, that's another story. That's another story, many many years ago.

423
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: Brad Fiddler. I can tell you a lot of stories

424
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: about young Brad Fitdler. Young Brad Fidler was very different

425
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: to old Brad Fittler. I don't know.

426
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's still there.

427
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: Any I'm hearing talk that there's been he's let his

428
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: hair down.

429
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 3: Now there's a little glimpse you can see that as

430
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: he's entitled to many many many years ago. When he

431
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: was young, he was we're out of Panthers and he

432
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: was coming off contract. And I said to him, said, well,

433
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: I can't remember the exact figures. I don't know what

434
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: they were. He said, I said, i'll pay. I said,

435
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: I'll pay you this. Let's say it was one hundred thousand.

436
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 3: I'll pay a hundred thousand. He said no, no, he

437
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: said I want one hundred and twenty thousand. I said no, no, no,

438
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: too much. I said one hundred thousand. I said, that's there.

439
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: I said, I'll tell you what i'll do. I said

440
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 3: that every time you go into rep Camp. And then

441
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: I said, i'll pay you. I'll pay your room. You know,

442
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: your room service bill. I had a better better off

443
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: painting three hundred thousand. The room service bill was.

444
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 2: So, what was the story about the nine to ninety

445
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 2: Kangaroo too? Did he eat the club covered his bill?

446
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: Is it this is what you're talking about?

447
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no not.

448
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 3: Then it was the ninety ninety Kangaroo Tour was very,

449
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: very funny because he was young, like he was a teenager,

450
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: and he was a bit of a sensation. He was

451
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: playing in the centers and he was having a good

452
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 3: year and Bob Fulton was the coach, and Bob Fulton

453
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: rang me late in the season. He said, I'm thinking

454
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: about taking young Brad fit on the Kangaroo tour.

455
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: Now.

456
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 3: Was he one of the young I know Jeff Starling

457
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: was the youngest one to ever be a Kangaroo tourist,

458
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 3: but Brad Fitlan might have been one of these. It

459
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: was only a kid. Yeah, I said, I'd be good

460
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: for experience, he said. He said, I wouldn't. I'm not

461
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: going to play him in any of his test matches.

462
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: He said, I'll just take him along for the experience

463
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: because he's going to be a Test player of the future.

464
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: He said, I think they took twenty six players away

465
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 3: on those days, you know. And he said, he said, so,

466
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: you know. I said, well, don't tell him. I said,

467
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: we're running into the semi finals, you know. I said,

468
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 3: I'll let him know later on. So we're getting towards

469
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: the back end of the finals, and I pulled him aside.

470
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 3: I said, listen, I said, when this Grand Finals, we

471
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: made the Grand Final, we're playing Camera in the greend Final.

472
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: So the Grand Final was over and I said, listen,

473
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: I said, you're probably going to get a call in

474
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 3: the next forty eight hours. I said, Bob Fulton spoke

475
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: to me a few weeks ago about going on the

476
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 3: Kangaroo Tour. I said, now, it's for experience. It's just

477
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: for life experience and football experience. I said, it's a

478
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: great honor. I said, you're going to be going on

479
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: the Kangaroo Tour and I said, this is the thing

480
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 3: that all players aspire to. And I said, you know,

481
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: you're very young. You're not going to play in any

482
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: of the test matches. You're probably playing a few of

483
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 3: the other games I used to play against club sides

484
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 3: and all that sort of thing. So you're there to learn.

485
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: You're there to learn off all the other players, and

486
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: learn off Bob Fulton, he's a great coach, and have

487
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: a good time and see a bit of the world

488
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: and enjoy yourself. I said, but you know you handle

489
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: yourself professionally and he said yeah, Gussie, Yeah, Gussie. I said,

490
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, So anyway, so sure.

491
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: Did you leave a discussion thinking it had sunk? H No,

492
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: I still have concerns. I still have.

493
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: But and my concerns were well found. So yeah, So

494
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: he forty eight hours later or twenty four hours later,

495
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 3: he gets named to go on the Kangaroo tour, and

496
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 3: so we get him all these gear and get him

497
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: set up and where he goes, and I'll give him

498
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: his final warning and.

499
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: Off he goes.

500
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: Well, all that fell on death is because yeah, he

501
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: came back from the tour with the reputation as the greatest.

502
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: Party in the world.

503
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: He was into everything, everything, whatever was going, Freddy was in.

504
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: He was a star of the tour from here to Mars.

505
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he didn't have to pay for his room

506
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: service bill or drink spill. Didn't the club have to

507
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: pay for it? Yeah? Yeah, we need to pay for

508
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: his room service. But it was it was a fortune,

509
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: wasn't it.

510
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: He shouted everyone, He shouted all of England, he shouted everyone. Oh,

511
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: it was just hilarious. We were better off painting three.

512
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, your new Australian coach got on your

513
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: Freddy Lucky Galvin's officially at Belmore has been named in

514
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: jumping number twenty three for the Long Weekend, the King's

515
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: birth Day Long Weekend. It's Michael Jordan's.

516
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: Number twenty three, Shane WARN's number.

517
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: Shane Warne's number. Well Jordan started at all. Yeah, when

518
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: Luckie Galvin's ended up with it. That isn't that poetic?

519
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of poetry and all that he's

520
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: going to play. I honestly don't know. I don't know.

521
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: There's still a fair way to go. We don't play

522
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: till Monday. Bulldogs haven't played since two Thursdays ago, so

523
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 3: it's a huge break. Eighteen days off in the middle

524
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: of the season. Rep players went away, coach gave him

525
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 3: six days off, so they won't really only come back

526
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: in this week. And they've got still got three sessions

527
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: three fourth session. What do they've got today? Wednesday? They

528
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: train Thursday, they train day off, Friday, train Friday, Saturday,

529
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: Sunday and play Monday. So there's a few more sessions

530
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: to go there. I think that the one thing as

531
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 3: a coaching staff, and in any discussions they've had with me,

532
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: is that there's no need to rush this. We're signing

533
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: for three years, not three weeks and we need to

534
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: make sure the team is confident in Stettle going into

535
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: Monday's game. He has been training with him the last

536
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: couple of days and fitted in really well from a

537
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: personality point of view and all of that, and he's

538
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: been very, very good with the other players. But the

539
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 3: coaching staff will make a decision between now and Monday

540
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: as to whether or not he plays a role Monday,

541
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 3: or he may even go around. In the New South

542
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 3: Wales Cup, they play on the same day, so they

543
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: play on Monday afternoon, expecting or hoping for a big crowd.

544
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 3: You know, we've got sixty five thousand to the good

545
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: Friday crashing class against Sourth Sydney. We think we can

546
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: break that down. I think the ten dollar tickets are

547
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: back on for Level six up there for people that

548
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: want to come out and have an afternoon's entertainment. Big

549
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 3: following paramounta big following Bulldogs. We've got forty five thousand

550
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: of this game last year and I think we can

551
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: do better this year. So really hoping their big crowd

552
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 3: turns up and that'll be a great experience for for

553
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: our reserve grade young reserve grade side too. Mitch Woods

554
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: is going to have his first game Mitch Woods. People

555
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 3: have seen him on the horizon for a while. He's

556
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: going to have his first start in New South Wales

557
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: Cup on the weekend because we wanted him to experience

558
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 3: a course stadium with.

559
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: A good crowd there.

560
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: They're probably thirty or forty thousand what's the reserve grade

561
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: in the afternoon. Make a day's entertainment out of it

562
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: and come out and watch the football where Lachland Galvin

563
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: plays on the weekend.

564
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. Have you sort of sat down and

565
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: met him yet?

566
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I've seen him around. Nice kid, lovely kid.

567
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 4: Do you think he's been rattled by what's happened?

568
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: Certainly doesn't show signs of that. He's been very determined.

569
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: I think he's I was talking to Danny Whidler the

570
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: other night because they interviewed him one hundred percent footy.

571
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: Danny went and interviewed him. I didn't know that interview

572
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: was taking place. It was worked out with his manager,

573
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: good start. Well. I think his manager gave a couple

574
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: of sides of media an opportunity to talk to him

575
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: just because of how the sort of things had transpired.

576
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 3: Danny said he'd never met a more mature kid, and

577
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 3: he really handled the quest as well. When they sat down,

578
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: there was nothing was off limits he could talk to him.

579
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: There were a few things legally they had to pull

580
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: out of the interview and he wouldn't talk beat because

581
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: there are some other matters around his termination with the Tigers,

582
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: But he just did that. He stride virtually. He said

583
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 3: that everything has been he's under his control. He's run

584
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: the race here. His manager works for him. He doesn't

585
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 3: work for his manager. He's the one that told his

586
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: manager what he wanted and where he wanted to go

587
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: and what he wanted to do. And the things escalated

588
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: pretty quickly because his first intention was just to let

589
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: West Tigers know he wasn't going to continue after the

590
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: end of the twenty sixth season, and he was happy

591
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: to play out his contract there. How things escalated and

592
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: from there, well, it's been played out in the media.

593
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: But how I thought, I thought his interview gave a

594
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: more measured description of exactly what's gone on if you

595
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: take all the media fluff out of it and all

596
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: the other agenda driven stuff. He was fairly direct, very honest,

597
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: and as he said, you know, all the criticism that

598
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: comes his way or whatever people think or what the

599
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: media says. He said, I've got to copy that on

600
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: the chin. Very mature. I don't I don't know too

601
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: many nineteen year olds that would actually have done the interview,

602
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: to be honest, But to have handled it as well

603
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: as he did, I thought was exceptional. But he's been

604
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: he's virtually been in there all day every day. He's

605
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: been around the coaches in the video room, and he's

606
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: he won't go home. They can't get him to go home.

607
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: He's he's on the training field for an hour after

608
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: everyone's finished. He's just he's keen to get back into it.

609
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: And you know, as I say, we've invested in the player.

610
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: We believe he's going to be. We believe, you know,

611
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: over the next three years he can develop into well,

612
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 3: we have our opinions where we think he'll get to.

613
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: And that's what we've bought. That's why we've invested in him.

614
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: And as I said, with the coaches, there's no there's

615
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 3: no hurry to find the solution in the next in

616
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: the next two or three weeks. And we've got him

617
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: for forgot.

618
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: Him for three years.

619
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: It was just a great opportunity to get him into

620
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: the system now so that we can get a running

621
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 3: start on what his future is going to look like.

622
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: How much of a role he plays this week or

623
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 3: even this year, I don't know, so that's really up

624
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: to the coaching staff and Lachlan Galvin. I'm not saying

625
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: you won't play Monday, but that's far from decided at

626
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: the moment. At the moment, he's on the extended bench.

627
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: He's training with the team, and he'll train with the

628
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: team every day and there's a good chance he might

629
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: play New Southwelles Cup on the weekend. If not, i'd

630
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: imagine you'll come off the bench. But he certainly won't

631
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: be starting in the team.

632
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I suppose he'd be hoping that the immediate

633
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: saga of all that stuff's been put to bed. But

634
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: Manly have started negotiating with Jake and Tom Traboyevitch about

635
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: extending their respective careers on the Northern Beaches. So they're

636
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: both off at the end of twenty twenty six. But

637
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: that means come November one, there on the open market,

638
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: as it were, neither would ever want to play against many.

639
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: They've made that known publicly Jake, it would appear at

640
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: the moment wants to stay. There's talk that Tom. Now

641
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: you'll remember, let's put some context around if Tom wanted

642
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: to refund some of his some of his wage to

643
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: the club because he's been injured so much. And now

644
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: he's saying, if me taking up big money being here

645
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: hinders the progress of Lehi, Hoppawte and others at the club,

646
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: I'll even go to England.

647
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: He's a bit too good for England. I would hate

648
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: to seem lost to the UK. I can understand those

649
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: Trebovitch boys wanting to see out there playing days with

650
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: the manly Seagulls, but you know where that lands, I

651
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: don't know.

652
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: It says a lot about him that he'd be prepared

653
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: to walk away from the NRL to try and help

654
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 2: the club develop.

655
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 3: He's a lovely kid. Honestly, he's a lovely human being.

656
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: Tom Trabovitch is a lovely human being, and he would

657
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: be frustrated more than anyone that you know at times

658
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: his body hasn't allowed him to give the service that

659
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 3: he would need. But there is no doubting that at

660
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: his best he is one of the games, one of

661
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: the all time great players and all time great fullbacks

662
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 3: that have ever played the game. It's just physically he

663
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: hasn't had a lot of luck and a lot of

664
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: joy and I hope that improves for him so he

665
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: can have more confidence to go forward and back himself

666
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: going forward. Yeah, I think it would be. It would be.

667
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: It wouldn't be nice that either of those players ever

668
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: have to play against Manly and can't finish their career

669
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: at Mainly. And it's one of the things, you know,

670
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: salary cap wise, the game needs to look at so

671
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 3: that long serving players don't cost younger players their opportunities

672
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: in the salary cap, and that something else that can

673
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: be negotiated with those sort of players. I think one

674
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: club players is something.

675
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: That's my pet, right with the salary cap.

676
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: The players, you know, the fans love that. Yeah, So

677
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: you know, hopefully hopefully something like that can be designed

678
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: down the track. But I can understand where Tom's coming from,

679
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: and I can understand probably the frustration with Mainly, who

680
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: would be paying him a lot of money and they

681
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: don't get a lot of football out of him, and

682
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: you know, they have got other young players coming through.

683
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: If they were if they were to lose a cooler

684
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 3: or they were to lose a Hopawati or for Waalah

685
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: and all these good kids that are sort of hovering

686
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: around that position. Because Tom was taking up so much

687
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: money but wasn't playing, then that's that's a difficult that's

688
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 3: the difficulty under our salary cap that we have.

689
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: So that's what he said that he's told close to him,

690
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: top people close to him he'd be open to a

691
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: move to the Super League in twenty twenty seven if

692
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: it was in the seagulls best interest for him to

693
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: leave the club. He'd previously applied to the NRL but

694
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: had a request rejected for him to take seven hundred

695
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars out of his contract. Yeah, and

696
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: have it taken out of Manly's salary cap over the

697
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: next two years.

698
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: Once you have registered a contract for a play, you

699
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: can't reduce that amount. It can't be reduced. They're just

700
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: the rules of the salary cap. I think everyone everything

701
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: should be negotiated on appeal. I think there should be

702
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 3: an appeals tribune or where you can go in and

703
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: appeal things, and I've done it with the salary cap

704
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: order there a number of times over the years with players,

705
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: particularly with players with serious injury and long term injury.

706
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: If you are looking to develop talent, and we're going

707
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: to the competition is going to expand. The clubs are

708
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: the ones that have to absorb the burden of developing

709
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: talent for the game. They should be provided with dispensation.

710
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 2: That's an incentive to develop.

711
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 3: But the frustrating argument is the frustrating argument. They come back, oh,

712
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: well that's why I got a thirty man squad to

713
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: put up with injuries. Well that's not the answer that

714
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: that's not satisfactory. And I'm I'm not publicly campaigning here

715
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 3: on behalf of the Balldogs or anyone else. I'm just

716
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 3: saying that the game needs to have greater flexibility around

717
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: that because you know, we've got clubs signing ten year deals.

718
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Dylan Brown signed for ten years at massive money.

719
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: Now what if Dylan Brown ran into a series of

720
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 3: injuries over the next you know, period of time and

721
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: missed a lot of football, you know, and was unable

722
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: to get back to the level that they expected, or

723
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: he's playing out at the moment, you know. I mean,

724
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: there are certain there are there are certain risks that

725
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 3: you have with these contracts, whether it's a three year

726
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 3: contract or a ten year contract or what have you

727
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 3: signing them at a young age or signing them at

728
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: an older age. But it's kind of like, well, the

729
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: club's got to wear the lot. There's no there's no comeback.

730
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: And I don't think that the I don't think that

731
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 3: the discounts for development, we're not encouraging. We don't encourage.

732
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 3: There's no incentive and there's no reward for development because

733
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: it's capped at a certain level. The discounts in your

734
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 3: cap for long serving players or developed players is capped

735
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: at a certain level, so you know, you might have

736
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: you might have a few, a handful of players, and

737
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 3: then a club like Penrith that might have twenty.

738
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: Players that should be entitled to a huge.

739
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: Discount and reward for all the effort that they put

740
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: into the money they spent developing those players, and it

741
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: would incentivize other clubs to do the same.

742
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: It would incentivize other clubs to develop.

743
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: Which then you know, if we go to twenty teams,

744
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 3: we've got players.

745
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 2: That's how you solve your talent is.

746
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: It seems logical, doesn't it?

747
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, But instead clubs are being punished for development.

748
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 3: If someone had that foresight twenty years ago, we wouldn't

749
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 3: be having this conversation today. Mind you, we were saying

750
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 3: this twenty years ago as well.

751
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: But it could be changed pretty quickly. They could chat. Well,

752
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: the emphasis of them, no of the salary cap could

753
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 2: change quickly.

754
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it will because I just I don't.

755
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 3: I think they've come this far with it. And don't

756
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,479
Speaker 3: get me wrong, I work with the salary cap blacks

757
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 3: all the time. They're great blacks. They understand it, they

758
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: get it, they sympathize with it, but they're reluctant to

759
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 3: change the rule for fear other people will walk through

760
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 3: the precedent and argue the precedent, and then it'll be

761
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: you know, oh they got it, why can't we And

762
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: we did it, you know, we can retire this player

763
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: and blah blah. And then they worry about blocks getting

764
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 3: paid on the side, or getting paid outside the cap

765
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 3: and all these sorts. They're not worried about doing it.

766
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: They're worried about the accusations that you know, people in

767
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: the media will make or whatever they're doing.

768
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 2: And they do anyway, well that's what they do.

769
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, as soon as you signed three players. They saying

770
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 3: you're treating the salary cap.

771
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: Could I ask it? Can I direct this more to

772
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:07,400

775
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: your accountant.

776
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 3: Is every accountant in the world a nerdy?

777
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: All of them? My account My account's a knock about,

778
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: knock about. But I think at the heart of it,

779
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: you're a nerd.

780
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,799

782
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,080

00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: different forms, doesn't it. Wally Lewis the king for you,

841
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: Chack Cameron Smith, hardest man.

842
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 3: The hardest man, hardest man.

843
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:30,640

00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: Criky uh Bruiser Clark.

848
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 3: I think I've told you this story before, back in

849
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 3: the old days where they used to have big leads

850
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 3: in rugular league weeks and that they used to player interviews,

851
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: you know, and they always to say, who's the hardest

852
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 3: tackle you've ever had? They all said there was a

853
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: bloke plane for Norseyn. He called Keith Harris. Oh yes,

854
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 3: that's right, backgrower, and it was like three out of

855
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 3: the very before would say Keith Harris, Keith Harris, Keith Harris,

856
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 3: and I said he must anyway, he hit me at

857
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 3: North Sydney over one day. I never did one of

858
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: those interviews, but if they said he's the hardest tackle,

859
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 3: I would say, Keith Harris, Yeah, Bunny right, he knocked

860
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: my teeth out?

861
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: What is it? What is it that makes a bloke

862
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: a hard hitter? But how but how like like Trevor Gillmeister, right,

863
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 2: not a big guy, and he used to whack blakes.

864
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: How do they do it?

865
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 3: He had a great technique. Yeah, great, Liam Martin, Liam Matt,

866
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 3: he's out of the old book. He's got a great technique. Yeah,

867
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 3: it's just in a great technique and some some likes

868
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 3: are just bony and raw power and you know, really

869
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 3: hit hard. Yeah. Back in the early days there was

870
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 3: swinging arms and elbows and knees and you know, there

871
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 3: was all the legal stuff that went in it as well.

872
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: But when you got rocked by a really hard ball

873
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 3: and all tackle, like you run on the black hard

874
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: and he absolutely crunches you, you know that's they're they're

875
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 3: blocks with the technique that you know becausework yeah balance, Yeah,

876
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: like famous not famous box, but the boxing cakes that

877
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 3: I had. You said you never get knocked out by

878
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 3: the punch.

879
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: You see, that's true.

880
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 3: If you see it coming, you won't get knocked out

881
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 3: by it. That's you know. So you've got to keep

882
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 3: your eyes on your target and what you're doing. It's

883
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 3: it's the one you don't see coming that knocks you out.

884
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: Or it's pretty much the same with the tackle, and

885
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 3: it's the one you don't see coming that hits you,

886
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: but when you see it coming, when you actually invite it,

887
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 3: because you run hard at it, and then they go

888
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 3: crack and it knocks the wind out of you and

889
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 3: you can just feel it in every bone in your body.

890
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 3: You know you've been hit. And some some blokes were

891
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 3: really good, you know, like now all the swinging arms

892
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 3: and knees and take. There were plenty of brutal blokes,

893
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 3: you know, you know, there were plenty of brutal people,

894
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 3: vicious people, but the really good technique ball and all

895
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 3: crunch you type tackles. When they get you, they get

896
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 3: you good.

897
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: I tell you, He's always been a great defender. But

898
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 2: I've noticed the last few weeks, just a call a

899
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 2: few of the games. Jack de Bellen, Jack.

900
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack's got a great, great defensive technique. He's a

901
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 3: good defender. I don't know he's a great hitter, but

902
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 3: he's a good defender. Yeah, we don't have as much

903
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 3: hitting in the game these days because you've got to

904
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: be careful. But most of the most of the defense

905
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: that they've got you've really got to catch and grab

906
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: in the day these days, you know, there are very

907
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 3: few hitters like Victor Radley tries to be a hitter.

908
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: Not anymore, he's reformed.

909
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he tries to be a hitter to his

910
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 3: own detriment most of the time. Liam Martin still does

911
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 3: it particularly well. A few of those wingers that come in,

912
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: you know and blindside players and hit him before they

913
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 3: get the hit the ball, and they've got great technique. Yeah,

914
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, I got hit by Keith Harris one day.

915
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: Crunch rocks in your BACKI has I think the feelings

916
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 3: fell out.

917
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 2: He look tough. Can he have you got a receiving him?

918
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 2: Find a fight with Keith Harris.

919
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 3: It wasn't an overly big man, too tallish if I

920
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 3: remember rightly, and some blacks just tired. I saw a

921

923
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: Face he does, doesn't He looks so innocent?

924
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 3: I saw, I saw Rex must have been interviewed Blake

925
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 3: one day. Charlie Frith, Remember Charlie Frith, I remember the name.

926
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 3: Charlie Fred played for South Sydney and Rex. Rex used

927
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 3: to love giving the man of the match to the

928
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,959

00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 3: was going to interview was man of the match. And

932
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 3: this is way back years and years and years ago.

933
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 3: I mean, a dressing room interview was a rarity. And

934
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 3: you know, so there's Rex with his microphone and he's

935
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: talking to Charlie Frith and Charlie Frith was a big boy.

936
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 3: You know, Rex's standing and Rex was a big man too,

937
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 3: and Rex is standing alongside him. He said, well, Charlie said,

938
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 3: you went great that. He said, you got my man

939
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 3: of the match. And Charlie said, thanks for that. He said,

940
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: you're a big fellow, Charlie.

941
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: He said yeah. He said you look.

942
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 3: Like you can fight. Can you fight?

943
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 2: Nah? But I shocked the feeler thought they could.

944
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: Nice, Oh, very nut.

945
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 2: But I shocked the feel you thought they could. This

946
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 2: has six tackles with Gas on the other side. We'll

947
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 2: have a look at round fourteen of the NRL GUS

948
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 2: before we get into our tips. Thanks to the tab

949
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: I'm not a bit of a social media blitz this week.

950
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 2: I don't engage a lot in social media because genuinely speaking,

951
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: it's a seth pit of garbage, but every now and

952
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 2: then you see a little bit of gold. I found

953
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 2: this combining a man who has appeared multiple times on

954
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: our podcast in recent week, Donald Trump on one of

955
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: his rants, and your favorite chess, Seinfelder. I thought this

956
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: was very funny.

957
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 3: They want a band straw.

958
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 2: Has anybody ever tried those paper straws?

959
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 3: They're not working to right?

960
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: Has anybody ever tried, seriously, the news.

961
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 3: Short's made out of paper, right, it disintegrates as you're drinking.

962
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 3: If you have a nice tie like this time, this

963
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 3: would have no chance.

964
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: By the time you get finished, the straw is totally disintegrated.

965
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: Does anybody walk around with a plastic straw? Because it's

966
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: not bad?

967
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: You know, you whipping out form. You never had to

968
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: do that.

969
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 2: So they want to band straws?

970
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: They said, oh really, what about the cart? What about

971
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: the plate?

972
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: What about the knives and the spoons and a plastic

973
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 2: Oh they're okay, But the straws. We got a band.

974
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 2: I hae praws too. I hate paper. Is it funny?

975
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 2: You put that music to anything, it becomes immediately funny.

976
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: He's funny, he is really fun I hate paper straw.

977
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 2: I like getting it beld chocolate thick shake from Meccas,

978
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 2: and the paper straw is no good.

979
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: Well, if I get it for a slurpy, if I

980
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 3: get a chocolate thick shake for Macas, I don't want

981
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 3: a straw.

982
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 2: I'd like to drink it out of the cup. Yeah,

983
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: I have to try that.

984
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 3: But if I'm having I love a chocolate milkshake, but

985
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 3: I've got to have a plastic straw. Absolutely, paper straws

986
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 3: and everything else. Papers, plastic straws are going to save

987
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 3: the paper straws are going to save the planet.

988
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: Give me a break. I had one of the best

989
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 2: chocolate milkshakes I've ever had.

990
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to get rid of my social media. I think, yeah,

991
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 3: I've got off Twitter. I think it's gone. I think

992
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 3: I think it's run a thrace.

993
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 2: I got off Twitter months ago because it's.

994
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 3: Just Twitter is handy, like when you're working in the

995
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: when you're working for clubs and that sort of handy

996
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 3: to put news out there and do all that sort

997
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 3: of thing. But a lot of rubbish out there, A

998
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 3: lot of rubbish.

999
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 2: Tell me about it.

1000
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 3: I don't have Facebook, I don't have Instagram anymore. What

1001
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 3: are the other ones? I don't think. I never had

1002
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 3: TikTok and I don't have TikTok.

1003
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 2: I never had. It's a Chinese spying platform.

1004
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: What's the other one? Snapped? I never had a Snapchat?

1005
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 3: I've sort of had.

1006
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 2: Have you got only fans?

1007
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: I should have had? No, I've sort have had. I've

1008
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 3: had Twitter for a number of years, mainly just around

1009
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 3: promotion and the allans, And I think I'm going to

1010
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 3: get rid of it.

1011
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: What do you think people like your Twitter? As I said,

1012
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 2: I didn't even have it anymore. You should keep it.

1013
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 3: Well, it's not really informative anymore. Well, media is not

1014
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 3: informative anymore. I don't read mainstream media. I haven't done

1015
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 3: for twenty years. I couldn't be bothered. I think, I

1016
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 3: don't know.

1017
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: We could start an only fans page for you where

1018
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 2: you just talk about footy tactics and get people to

1019
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 2: subscribe and pay money. No fully clothed, but you just

1020
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 2: just pay for your opinions and tactical analysis. We can

1021
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 2: make a fortune.

1022
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone would be paying for that.

1023
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: Only if you're clothed. Okay, let's prove you around for

Speaker 3: the halves again.

1033
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: Jack Cogger's back at half back. Brady Jones starts in

1034
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 2: the front row, with Leo Thompson serving a four game

1035
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: band for a crusher tackle. Young back Elijah Salissa. Leo

1036
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 2: Moana will make his NLDEVO off the bench, and Greg

1037
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 2: marsh is in the extended's cord so might come in.

1038
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 2: Jake der Boyvich is back from concussion, Tabanga to the bench,

1039
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 2: Lodge out and Alloy ahard his shoulder again last week,

1040
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 2: so top Sipley will come into the manly team.

1041
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the night's a couple of weeks ago

1042
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 3: at bathists were really good, weren't they. I know the

1043
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 3: Panthers had a lot of players missing, but you know

1044
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 3: they they got their win and you thought, well, maybe

1045
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 3: that'll lead to something. I thought they were awful. Oh man,

1046
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 3: last week again that was hard to watch. It was

1047
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: hard to watch. I mean, Dragons were never under any

1048
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 3: threat and didn't have to do much to win. But

1049
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 3: they did it. They did it as well as they could.

1050
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 3: But that would have been disappointing. Well again, you're going

1051
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 3: to have to wait for Knights to show something before

1052
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 3: you can tip. Manly were good. They belded the Broncos.

1053
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 3: You can't possibly tip against them. I suppose so Manly

1054
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 3: to be.

1055
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: Night, I'm reminded. Actually, Cogga played last week. I think

1056
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 2: he was named on the bench but came in. Gamble

1057
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: missed the game. I think did he know he was out?

1058
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 2: Someone missed last week, but Coga played anyhow. He was

1059
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 2: wearing eighteen last week. He wears seven this week. Early

1060
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: game Friday down at Amy Park in Melbourne. The Storm

1061
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: versus the Cows, Xavier Coats and Harry Grant arrested last week,

1062
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 2: they come back in. Todd Payton's got the same seventeen

1063
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 2: that got the money against the West Tigers. Well just

1064
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: got the money. I led thirty two six that he

1065
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: got run down.

1066
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, It was an uneasy lead too, And I mean

1067
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,479
Speaker 3: West Tigers had Cindy on two or three occasions during

1068
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 3: the game and all the points were scored when the

1069
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 3: sin bins were on. Sinbins are such a punish. We

1070
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 3: have way too many sinbins. But yeah, Cowboys. You know,

1071
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 3: if Cowboys were going to win this, they're going to

1072
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: have to win at forty to thirty eight or something.

1073
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 3: It's just they're just one of those sort of teams,

1074
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 3: aren't they. Yeah, I can't tip against Melbourne in Melbourne. Yeah, Cowboys.

1075
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 3: Cowboys have got the points in them. They got the

1076
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 3: points in them. But you know, Harry Grant back zab

1077
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 3: A cache back, I'll go with Storm.

1078
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 2: Friday Night footy. This one is coming to you on

1079
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: nine from seven to thirty pm. It's at sun Corps Stadium.

1080
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 2: It's the Dolphins versus the Dragons. The Hammers back at

1081
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 2: fullback after missing the win over the Bulldogs and origin

1082
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 2: Judy so Jake Avarille goes back to the centers. Jeremy

1083
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 2: Marshall King and Max Plater both on the extended bench

1084
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 2: and could both come into the team, which would be

1085
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 2: massive for them. For the Dragons, Lucian Lailua comes into

1086
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: the starting team for Jaden Sewer, who's out because of

1087
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: an act, which is a shame because I reckon he

1088
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 2: was in Billy's thinking. Jaden self. Raymond for Taalamaran is

1089
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: on the bench. Toy Polato's back, but the young Rugby

1090
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: will not say young. He's twenty six. Nathan Lawson, who

1091
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 2: de booted last week, the Rugby seven star, keeps his

1092
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 2: place in the team. Gus and Tyrol Sloan's gone to

1093
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: the reserves.

1094
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 3: Yep, important game for both clubs. I mean this is

1095
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 3: two points you get and two points someone else doesn't get.

1096
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 3: You know, they all sort to congregate around the eight,

1097
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 3: and that's really important. I think Marshall, King and Plath

1098
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 3: will probably play if they're going to be named on

1099
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 3: the extended bench like that coming back from injury. I

1100
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: like the Dolphins as a team and I think the

1101
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: Dragons are capable of beating anyone too. But I just

1102
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 3: feel like there's more points in the Dolphin at this

1103
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 3: stage and I'll back them to win at sun Court.

1104
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 2: All right, this is a very interesting game at five

1105
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 2: point thirty on Saturday. It's down in Cronullah, a Shark's

1106
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 2: favorite in this Sharks are heavy favorites in this game.

1107
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 2: I'll go through the odds when you do your round up.

1108
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: At the end, they're up against the Warriors. Ronaldo's out,

1109
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 2: but Sionnikatara comes back from a shoulder recach his first

1110
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: game of the year. Tig Wilton's back from a shoulder

1111
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: as well. Billy Burns has been terrific for them, goes

1112
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 2: to odenth Man.

1113
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 3: Never drops the cats. Billy never drops the cat.

1114
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 2: I think he might have dropped one in the last game.

1115
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 3: He doesn't.

1116
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 2: Jackson Ford will start at prop for Mitch Barnett Leka

1117
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 2: Halasima into the starting team. Kate Well goes to the

1118
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: centers because Rockoe Berry is out. He's a big loss.

1119
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 2: Rocke Beerry, isn't he good? Play? Rock a Berry? Jacob

1120
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: Laban and Tanner Stower's Smith of the new faces on

1121
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 2: the bench. Sharks at home to the Warriors. High flying Warriors.

1122
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Warriors keep winning. They've won their last few very narrowly,

1123
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 3: but they keep grinding out those close finishes. Shark's a

1124
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 3: favorite Shark Park Bermuda Triangle. You just keep waiting for

1125
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 3: them to snap into that sort of finals looking form,

1126
00:54:59,400 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 3: don't you.

1127
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: They pretty good before the buy.

1128
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were good against Melbourne, going good the Warrior,

1129
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 3: No Mitch Barnett excellent. Ford comes in. I love this

1130
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 3: second hour. Hello, seem Ye's a good player. Eron Clark's

1131
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 3: a very good player. I'm going to be swayed by

1132
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 3: the market here. I don't like being swayed by the market.

1133
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 3: But Sharks at the Bermuda Triangle.

1134
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,240
Speaker 2: All right, what a game. This is crunch time for Brisbane.

1135
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 2: They take on the Titans seven point thirty on Saturday night. Wow,

1136
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: this is just absolutely huge for them. They're at home

1137
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 2: at Suncorp Stadium and i'd imagine they've still get a

1138
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 2: big crowd despite their plight. They do get Reese Walsh

1139
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 2: back for his first game since Round seven. So when

1140
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 2: Cobe stays on the wing, Mariner drops out of the team,

1141
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 2: Corey Jensen comes into prop, Carriyan goes back to Locke,

1142
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 2: Kobe Heatherington to the bench. Peter Kerr has been named

1143
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 2: to start with Willison to the bench. So for the Titans,

1144
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 2: Aj Brimson suffered a concussion at the captain's run before

1145
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 2: last week. He's been named as eighteenth man. But I

1146
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 2: suppose could come in Alan Fitzgibbon recalled on the wing,

1147
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 2: Sami to the centers for feeder out with a broken hand.

1148
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 2: That's Jojo for feeder and Sam Verrels is going to

1149
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 2: have surgery on a broken hand, so he wretched run

1150
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 2: of injury continues in Sean Mulaney will be the hooker.

1151
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 2: Broncos Titans. Titans are pretty good actually all been a

1152
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 2: losing team against Melbourne.

1153
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 3: Well you know what I think of them. They've got

1154
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,280
Speaker 3: that game in them and they do trouble the Broncos

1155
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 3: every time they played them, beating them every now and

1156
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 3: then Reese Walsh back and the disappointment of last week

1157
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 3: back at home, I go Bronco to turn of the round.

1158
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 2: If they don't respond this week, this should be what

1159
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 2: did Jeff TV say? There's got to be an investigation,

1160
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 2: an investigation to a clock on Sunday the raid in

1161
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 2: the Rabbit as Josh PARPERLETTI will become the most cap

1162
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 2: raider ever, which is a huge effort for a front rower.

1163
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 2: Incredible three hundred and nineteen NRL games. What a servant,

1164
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 2: absolute beauty. I saw Jason Craker was there at training yesterday.

1165
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 3: They should get him out for one game of origin.

1166
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 3: He's just exactly what they need that first twenty minutes.

1167
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll send the sos. Wouldn't be the first time.

1168
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what they can do a lot worse.

1169
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, pardon me it. She's three hundred nineteenth game for

1170
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 2: the Green Machine, not three hundred nineteenth NRL game for

1171
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 2: one club. That's incredible for the Buddies. As we've already

1172
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 2: talked about throughout the podcast, Jack Whiteen and Cody Walker

1173
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: both come back. So it's a pretty strong looking South

1174
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 2: Sydney team, but heading down to Camber to play on

1175
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 2: a milestone afternoon.

1176
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've had a lot of hard football the

1177
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 3: Raiders a lot of hard football. They've had a lot

1178
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 3: of travel. The only team in the complin hasn't had

1179
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 3: a buy yet. I think they've played every single round

1180
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,919
Speaker 3: they haven't had a buyers yet. Remembering too that they've

1181
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: traveled to Las Vegas, they've traveled to Council, they've traveled

1182
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 3: to Darwin, New Zealand. They've had a lot of travel.

1183
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 3: They haven't had a buy and they haven't missed a beat.

1184
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 3: I don't think they've put in a bad performance all year.

1185
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 3: If you look at every other team in the comp

1186
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 3: they've had, there's been one or two bad performances. Even

1187
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 3: if they've been winning a few games. Every team sort

1188
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 3: of has a bad day some days. Raiders just don't

1189
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 3: have a bad.

1190
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 2: Day except for the second half against the Bulldogs. Yeah,

1191
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 2: that wasn't so good, But that's the only blip on

1192
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 2: the Raider Yeah.

1193
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 3: But it Yeah, they've just been up for so long

1194
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 3: and you just wonder what can they keep doing it?

1195
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 3: Last week they won without their halfback Fogginy didn't play.

1196
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 3: He comes back this week, they can they do it

1197
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 3: again against what I think will be a pretty good

1198
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 3: rabbit Oa team, Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker's back, Jamie Humphries,

1199
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 3: Lama Tongue and tongue Gee. Was a good game this one.

1200
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 2: They get a rest next week. Can they do it

1201
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 2: one more time before they get a buy?

1202
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 3: And sometimes you know team knowing they've got the buy

1203
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 3: the following week, that mentally can be a bit of

1204
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 3: a challenge too. You're kind of looking forward to the

1205
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 3: buy and think what you're going to be doing and

1206
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,919
Speaker 3: just get through this one. There's a lot of little

1207
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 3: challenges there.

1208
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 2: But he couldn't lose Popper's game.

1209
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 3: Could they he's going, he's got them going good. Ricky, Well,

1210
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 3: the occasion won't get your home. I've seen that come

1211
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 3: Acropper with teams as well. There are some times that

1212
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 3: are really good with it, but sometimes you think the

1213
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 3: occasion is going to get your home and it doesn't.

1214
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 3: I'll go with Radar Raider.

1215
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 2: Yes, m that wasn't very committal. West Tigers versus the

1216
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 2: Panthers Lartufe, who's coming back for his first game since

1217
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 2: round five, or Old Skelton's also back. They've lost Alex

1218
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 2: twil So safe after lock Toney Suker comes in to

1219
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 2: start the game, Madman stains out. Kit Laliy joins the

1220
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 2: bench for his first game of twenty twenty five, and

1221
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 2: Charlie Murray makes he's going to well to do from

1222
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 2: the bench, and Ivan's named the same seventeen but Isaiah

1223
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 2: Papali former Tiger, and Luke Garner are on the extended

1224
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: reserves bench and I would imagine they'll come in.

1225
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 3: Wouldn't have that have been incredible if the Tiger's got

1226
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 3: out of that last week? Well, they're down thirty two

1227
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 3: to six, six twenty six points and they very nearly

1228
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 3: did it? Didn't they?

1229
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 2: If the game was much longer, they probably would have won.

1230
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 3: And that's away from home in Townsville. And what do

1231
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 3: they have three sin bins during the game?

1232
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 2: Have three?

1233
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 3: I think they had three?

1234
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Yep?

1235
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,520

Speaker 3: a Sunday Panther.

1239
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: Do you know the Panthers have won eighteen of their

1240
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 2: last twenty one day games? For what it's worth, Bulldogs

1241
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 2: versus Els Monday, four o'clock at a core. We know

1242
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Lockie Garvin's on the extended bench. Oh, Steve Crotton's playing. Yeah,

1243
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: he's a tough because he had a bad elbow, didn't

1244
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 2: he Well he's back.

1245
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:08,720

1246
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 3: off after the last Wednesday night. I think I think

1247
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 3: Credit went. He might have gone to Fiji for a

1248
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 3: couple of days.

1249
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 2: That's a good idea.

1250
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I think he's told them his elbow

1251
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 3: is fine. But until the doctors actually get a look

1252
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 3: at it, then I probably won't know a.

1257
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 3: But I'll go.

1258

1262
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,120

1263
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 3: the prices, but I'll go Shark.

1264

Speaker 2: be a dollar thirty two against anyone at the moment.

1267
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 3: I couldn't back them with you money.

1268
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 2: The Titans are three forty at a dollar thirty two.

1269
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Did you back the Titans at three forty mm? That's

1270
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 2: a no bet game.

1271
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,800
