Speaker 1: Welcome one hundred percent footy.
Speaker 2: What about the NURL ladder every team in with the
Speaker 2: chance of playing finals footy, we dissect it in just
Speaker 2: a moment.
Speaker 1: There's a bit doing it manly.
Speaker 2: So what better to do than get Tommy Turbo to
Speaker 2: join auber gang or ready to go tonight and we're
Speaker 2: off join the side in Sydney for State of Origin
Speaker 2: in game three.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it there, Harry.
Speaker 3: Grand spreading, he gets to the mat stuff first, just
Speaker 3: got over queen where a dominating.
Speaker 2: Yes, Allo, welcome one hundred percent footy. Things really starting
Speaker 2: to rampart, both in rep footy and the season proper
Speaker 2: as well. Looking forward to having I look at the
Speaker 2: moving and the shaking of the ladder at the moment,
Speaker 2: because one or two wins and you go flying up
Speaker 2: and the.
Speaker 1: Other way if you're losing.
Speaker 2: Good evening, Kevin Smith, get a brace here going Nice
Speaker 2: to see you there mate, floating in the ether.
Speaker 1: Hello, Paul Gallon, get a brace. That's always a pleasure
Speaker 1: to sit alongside your top dog. James Bracy, how you doing? Other?
Speaker 1: Two points? We had to buy it's two.
Speaker 2: Points gets two points for the well you love the
Speaker 2: buyers sitting pretty at the top and more to come
Speaker 2: as well. One way to go, yeah, no doubt, before
Speaker 2: we get stuck into a jam packed menu here tonight,
Speaker 2: what did we learn from the weekend that was?
Speaker 1: Starting with you, top dog, starting with me? Okay, I've
Speaker 1: been saying for a long time that Zach Lomax is
Speaker 1: the best kick chaser in the rugby league. He might
Speaker 1: be the best kick chaser of all time. Just to
Speaker 1: remind you of his talents. This is exceptional. I mean
Speaker 1: to raise that speech, catch the ball like that and
Speaker 1: then get a pace away love was just incredible.
Speaker 2: At that point of the game. He is a real
Speaker 2: attacking weapon. I hate tries from kicks.
Speaker 1: I reckon they should be worth two points, not four.
Speaker 1: But I'll give you four for that one. Yes with
Speaker 1: you on that. What did you say about him when
Speaker 1: you shook his head in here that night? Big hands
Speaker 1: got hands like baseball mines, a big man. He doesn't
Speaker 1: drop him. It's the first thing I noticed when I
Speaker 1: meet a player, I shake hands, and I test the
Speaker 1: size of the.
Speaker 2: Endmits big mis and he uses them well out in
Speaker 2: that pitch for you, mister Smith.
Speaker 4: Yes, Bracewell, seldomly does the great man get it wrong.
Speaker 4: But can we please rewind back to last week and
Speaker 4: here are a few of Guss's predictions for State of
Speaker 4: Origin two.
Speaker 1: I don't think they can win with the team that
Speaker 1: they've picked as it looks on paper. I think there's
Speaker 1: got to be another strategy behind it. If they go
Speaker 1: out with that first seventeen I as on paper, I
Speaker 1: just can't see them changing it. On what happened in
Speaker 1: game one. I can find four or five tries for
Speaker 1: New South Wales. I'm struggling to find two tries for
Speaker 1: Queens or one or two. I think it's four or
Speaker 1: five tries to one or two. So if they all
Speaker 1: kick the goals thirty to twelve, I don't think it'll
Speaker 1: be close.
Speaker 5: Do you reckon?
Speaker 6: It'll be a sorry.
Speaker 1: I know you all wanted to side, but I don't
Speaker 1: think it's going to happen. She's they're chirpy. They're chirpy.
Speaker 1: Well were We'll discuss this later because I was one
Speaker 1: hundred percent right with all of that. Let the scoreboard
Speaker 1: fool you, Let the scoreboard fool you. I was one
Speaker 1: hundred percent right with that. They haven't solved their issues
Speaker 1: at all, Queens, anything that had there Cameron or should
Speaker 1: we keep your powder dry?
Speaker 5: No? No one all happy to go to.
Speaker 2: A double less goal less Well I learned, I reckon.
Speaker 2: Regie the Rabbit is intimidating certain players. Now kemera months
Speaker 2: on the weekend ran out passed reader towards Reggie record.
Speaker 1: Reggie had to chat him forever and now you know
Speaker 1: where to go. Look at him. He's absolutely lost. This
Speaker 1: is not this is not the first time. Look at him.
Speaker 2: This is not the first time Regil the Rabbit has
Speaker 2: done this. I have a seven of fun go in
Speaker 2: the game I was involved in many years ago. I
Speaker 2: think Reggie got a hold of him at half time.
Speaker 2: When he ran back out of the second half, he
Speaker 2: ran to the wrong end. He ran to the wronger.
Speaker 2: There he realizes he had to run one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten minutes all the way down down the end.
Speaker 1: I remember. The funny about this was they didn't kick
Speaker 1: to him, as if.
Speaker 5: You wouldn't kick to him.
Speaker 2: We just had to run one hundred meters back the
Speaker 2: other role, and they kicked the other way.
Speaker 1: I have a goal.
Speaker 2: How good that Reggie, Reggie the Rabbit leave him alone.
Speaker 2: Set britiant stuff, all right, we're often flying here on one
Speaker 2: hundred percent footy.
Speaker 1: Let's get stuck into it. Of course they don't call
Speaker 1: it the wild West Forward nothing. It had absolutely everything.
Speaker 2: And as you heard, we are off to a decider, exclusive,
Speaker 2: live and free. Of course you'll catch it right here
Speaker 2: on your home of Rugby League. The Blues Game one,
Speaker 2: Queensland Game two over there in Perth. And didn't it
Speaker 2: all click in particular in that opening half West Who
Speaker 2: knows they're the words from the top dog. But we
Speaker 2: can't wait to be there And what is it two
Speaker 2: weeks three days time where the State of Origin series
Speaker 2: will finally be decide of the biggest talking points between
Speaker 2: now and then coming out of all that, cam our
Speaker 2: first chance to actually sink our teeth in the State
Speaker 2: of Origin since the Queensland win the key decisions from
Speaker 2: the coach, Camra Munster's captain dce out did and then
Speaker 2: Kirk Caple comes in a thirty two year old debutane
Speaker 2: in kirk Man and you get the reserve.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I think the first four that you mentioned there, Brace,
Speaker 4: I think you know, they repaid the coach with their
Speaker 4: selections and the announcements. I think with their performances, particularly
Speaker 4: Cameron Munster. He picked up the man of the match
Speaker 4: in Game two and was highly involved throughout the entire
Speaker 4: eighty minutes. I think he finished the game with something
Speaker 4: like seventeen runs and one hundred and thirty meters.
Speaker 5: So I think that was really.
Speaker 4: The reason why Billy Slater chose to give Cameron Munster
Speaker 4: the captaincy was to say, listen, camp, this is now
Speaker 4: your time to run this footy side. Dally Cherry Evans,
Speaker 4: He's done it the entire time that Cam much has
Speaker 4: been playing, but this was the time he needed to
Speaker 4: spark this footy side and they really needed to respond
Speaker 4: from that game one performance. So look outstanding effort by him.
Speaker 4: I think Kirk Capell.
Speaker 5: Was outstanding in his return to State of Origin football.
Speaker 5: There was a lot of critics.
Speaker 4: Leading into that game game two in Perth around Kurt's
Speaker 4: performances for the Warriors this year. There were some stats
Speaker 4: run around that he missed the most tackles in the
Speaker 4: competition out of any player. But I thought it defensively
Speaker 4: in particular, he was strong, Tommy did and was outstead.
Speaker 5: He took the line on plenty of times, set up.
Speaker 4: That nice try out wide foot Tabi Baie today with
Speaker 4: a lovely kick, hats and nice touches.
Speaker 5: Kurt Man was heavily involved as well. I was a
Speaker 5: little bit surprised with the lack of minutes that Carrigan
Speaker 5: and then I got off the bench. I thought Billy
Speaker 5: was going to use them a bit more.
Speaker 4: But I think this way, the way the game panned out,
Speaker 4: how strong the Queensland team had in the first half,
Speaker 4: I think that's why he just kept them on the
Speaker 4: bench a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: Guss the Blues.
Speaker 2: Those two halves couldn't have been more stark. Yeah, out
Speaker 2: of it in the first back to what people who
Speaker 2: expected in the second.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I analyzed it a lot on the night
Speaker 1: and I've analyzed it since. I think the New South
Speaker 1: Wales blew that game. I think that's a game they'd
Speaker 1: love to have over again. The first half was extraordinary
Speaker 1: and I think what happened was they were expecting so
Speaker 1: much from Queensland. Then it went out and started exactly
Speaker 1: the same way as the game one win. Queensland were
Speaker 1: dropping the ball. New South Wales took up to the
Speaker 1: field position, got a soft cry and led six nil.
Speaker 1: What they didn't see coming then was a nine nail
Speaker 1: penalty barage and Queensland having all ball on their own
Speaker 1: line at that point, it was quite obvious that New
Speaker 1: South Wales hadn't put a lot of thought into their
Speaker 1: goal line defense and what they're going to be up against,
Speaker 1: because they were torn apart pretty easily, mostly through Munster
Speaker 1: and his extra involvement in the game. Harry Grant got
Speaker 1: a lot more care attacking opportunities and got in game
Speaker 1: one and New South Wales were just totally unprepared for it.
Speaker 1: It was actually quite awful the way that they defended
Speaker 1: that first half. They go into half time and they
Speaker 1: rethink it and the second half just looked like a
Speaker 1: procession the way that I thought the game would go anywhere.
Speaker 1: They scored four tries in the wet, they had a
Speaker 1: fair try to clearly disallowed for this stupid obsession with obstruction,
Speaker 1: and they didn't kick a goal otherwise they still win
Speaker 1: the game after having played so badly. So it's one
Speaker 1: of those mysteries of rugby league that the football grows
Speaker 1: just said we need a decider in because that's the
Speaker 1: only conclusion that I could come up with as to
Speaker 1: why we are going off to tam two and a
Speaker 1: decider because nothing, nothing from that game convinced me that
Speaker 1: Queensland should have been winning that game.
Speaker 2: I think neither coach would be happy with their side
Speaker 2: of the honest. I mean, the Blues were ordinary, really
Speaker 2: re ordering the first half obviously, the compleature route was terrible,
Speaker 2: that Tilly penalties they gave away weren't great, and Quinn
Speaker 2: in the second half ordinary. I'm as blue as they come,
Speaker 2: but I'm not with you on the clear trye Gus.
Speaker 2: I think it was an obstruction. Obsessed with abstruction because
Speaker 2: it was an obstruction.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately it's not abstruction.
Speaker 1: It's not because it wasn't real to try. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the referee ruled it a try. He said play on.
Speaker 1: Then something black in the box wants to protect perpretation Smith.
Speaker 1: What's the referee? He says, play on this.
Speaker 5: Obstruction?
Speaker 1: Look at all you young fellows just finished his head.
Speaker 1: As far as the coaches go, I just think that
Speaker 1: neither would be happy.
Speaker 2: It's too much been made to the penalties your first half.
Speaker 2: Then they got to nine, he'll finish ten two. That's
Speaker 2: a lot a lot of the penalties that gave. I
Speaker 2: think penalties what frustrates me with the sixty games. That's
Speaker 2: what frustrates me with the sixty guys. I don't think
Speaker 2: the referee would blow the penalties stopped the entire game,
Speaker 2: So why do they rule the sixty game for That's
Speaker 2: what gets me. Else, New souths had six sixty guys,
Speaker 2: Quentsland had only two, So that's sixteen discretions for New
Speaker 2: South I was alone, So what do you blow on
Speaker 2: sixteen pennies against use of I was? I doubt it,
Speaker 2: So that that's what annoys me at the sixty gues.
Speaker 1: That's what gets me.
Speaker 2: A lot of the penalties I thought were justified and silly,
Speaker 2: and the Blues need to be more disciplined. So I
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of issue with the penalties, but
Speaker 2: the sixty guys for me are the ones that sort
Speaker 2: of frustrate me.
Speaker 1: Forget this game. Six agains have become a fast right.
Speaker 1: They're an add on. They're not a penalty. They're an
Speaker 1: add on. They're a different type of penalty than either
Speaker 1: ones that they would have blown. When you get a
Speaker 1: lopside of penalty count like that in any game we
Speaker 1: get a long sided penalty count on that. It's not
Speaker 1: so much that they can't justify the penalties that they blew.
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at all those penalties,
Speaker 1: you're half justified in giving them more. It's just that
Speaker 1: the other team wasn't put under the same scrutiny. I
Speaker 1: know where you were offside or you mean to tell me,
Speaker 1: And all that time they couldn't find penalties against absolutely
Speaker 1: they could have absolutely, and that's where we get frustrated
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 4: I think it was a similar situation in Game two
Speaker 4: last year in Melbourne where I think New South Wales
Speaker 4: received I think it was like five penalties or six
Speaker 4: penalties and five set restarts in thirty five minutes. So
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a trend, but yeah, we've
Speaker 4: seen a similar situation in Game two last year in
Speaker 4: Melbourne where New South Wales just went on that onslought
Speaker 4: it was the best half of football in Origin that
Speaker 4: we'd seen, you know, I think since its inception.
Speaker 5: They scored thirty four points I think in the forty minutes.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know if it's something that we
Speaker 4: need to look at, but certainly it's. Yeah, it happened
Speaker 4: again in Perth in Game two. I agree with Gail,
Speaker 4: you know, I think a lot of that discipline that
Speaker 4: New so Wales needs to look at. Certainly the fifty
Speaker 4: to fifties they all went Queensland's way.
Speaker 2: Cam we'll get onto the Blues shortly in the injury
Speaker 2: concerns surrounding then what changes might need to be made.
Speaker 2: But from Queensland's perspective the score of second half, what
Speaker 2: needs to change if they're because they're going to have
Speaker 2: to go to another level decider in Sydney.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they just they got a bit sloppy, didn't they.
Speaker 4: And I was from the commentary box. I remember watching
Speaker 4: the first set of six, so Queensland kicked off and
Speaker 4: the first set of six that just it looked as
Speaker 4: though we dropped our intensity. It was almost like in
Speaker 4: the back of their minds, the players' minds, that they thought, well,
Speaker 4: we've got this one wrapped up, where we've got twenty
Speaker 4: six points on the board. You know we can defend
Speaker 4: our way to a victory here. But history has shown
Speaker 4: you can't stop playing. You can't just think that you're
Speaker 4: going to be able to defend your way through forty
Speaker 4: minutes of football at this level against the quality opposition
Speaker 4: like the Blues have got this year like they have
Speaker 4: every year, and think that.
Speaker 5: You're going to win a game of football. That comeback
Speaker 5: was always on the cards.
Speaker 4: Do you think you so wells are just going to
Speaker 4: lay down and not play better football than what they
Speaker 4: did in the first forty minutes.
Speaker 5: They hardly touched the ball, they had very little field position,
Speaker 5: so that game was always going to change around.
Speaker 4: The momentum was going to swing and I just don't
Speaker 4: think Queensland handled it the right way. And I reckon
Speaker 4: and like Giol spoke about before, how both coaches won't
Speaker 4: be happy. Did you see Billy Slater in the second half?
Speaker 4: Did you see him after the game?
Speaker 5: He was happy that the.
Speaker 4: Team got the victory and kept the series alive, but
Speaker 4: he was pretty disappointed with their second forty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had one of those belly ache moments right
Speaker 2: on full time. He was looking down at the ground
Speaker 2: and I saw what he mouthed and you could tell
Speaker 2: you what he wasn't happy with it. While we're on
Speaker 2: the topic of you mate, it was good to see
Speaker 2: him back of work on the weekend as well.
Speaker 1: How is he after? Was what was a hell of
Speaker 1: a week away from the footy pitch for him as well?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Brace it was a pretty tough week for
Speaker 4: himself and his family, and you know, for the Queensland
Speaker 4: team of course. You know, they all respect Billy Slater
Speaker 4: a lot and we've all seen the quotes and the
Speaker 4: press conferences that he had.
Speaker 5: It was a tough week.
Speaker 4: He got beat up a little bit personally, but you know,
Speaker 4: he's a tough character. He showed that throughout his playing career.
Speaker 4: He showed that through his coaching career over the last
Speaker 4: couple of years.
Speaker 5: I think with the result the other night, I think
Speaker 5: it was just a huge relief. You see him there
Speaker 5: giving his wife Nicola a huge hug.
Speaker 4: From a coach's point of view, I think it was
Speaker 4: a huge relief because there was so much pressure on
Speaker 4: him as coach to try and get that victory and
Speaker 4: try and help his footy side get a victory to
Speaker 4: keep the series alive. They didn't want to go back
Speaker 4: to back series losses. So now we go to a decider.
Speaker 1: From the Blues perspective, Gus, would you have let Nathan
Speaker 1: Cleary play? Oh, well, you've got to trust the medical
Speaker 1: team in there. I mean it was pretty late in
Speaker 1: the procession and yeah, Nathan clear is not a rookie,
Speaker 1: he's been around for a fair wire. He knew he
Speaker 1: was right to play, he right to play well. I
Speaker 1: think he was right to play. I didn't think he
Speaker 1: went too bad. I mean, obviously the kicking was a
Speaker 1: struggle for him. They didn't accommodate themselves too well with that.
Speaker 1: But now that late in the week, that would have
Speaker 1: been a big change to Actually, I don't know what
Speaker 1: they would have done with it. I suppose I'd have
Speaker 1: played lew Iron Burton in the haarms, but yeah, it
Speaker 1: was disappointing from their perspective. Look, you South Wales couldn't
Speaker 1: have played any worse in that first forty minutes. Just
Speaker 1: couldn't have played any worse and as the game turned
Speaker 1: out good five tries to four, couldn't kick a goal
Speaker 1: and should have won anyway, and had a fair tribe
Speaker 1: just fill out.
Speaker 2: I don't know where they've sold any gal. If Nathan's
Speaker 2: not fit, what her options for the heart well don't
Speaker 2: I can't look at Isaiah Cato has been mentioned Joey's mention.
Speaker 2: A few people mentioned he's a fantastic down player. It's
Speaker 2: going to be an absolute superstar. I got no doubt
Speaker 2: about that, but he's a kid twenty or twenty one
Speaker 2: years of age. To put him into the cider through
Speaker 2: the city. I think it's unfair when you've had Matt
Speaker 2: Burton there and mean, he's been what four or five
Speaker 2: games eighteenth man? He plays five A for his club,
Speaker 2: So that's leaving the competition. You got Jerome the way,
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you just put Matt Burton there while they
Speaker 2: goes down in game one? If we bring Jerome lew
Speaker 2: and don't give Matt Burton a go now, now, another
Speaker 2: one we're.
Speaker 1: Talking about might be out, might be out.
Speaker 2: We're talking and we don't want to give Matt Burton
Speaker 2: a gal. I don't understand why he's there, is that
Speaker 2: eighth man if we're not willing to give the bike
Speaker 2: a gay.
Speaker 1: For a start, they're both left foot and they're both
Speaker 1: left sided players, and neither of them demand the book.
Speaker 1: Like Honestly, if it were me, if Cleary wasn't out
Speaker 1: and you're gonna you might even laugh at this, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I'd be picking Adam Reynolds and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: even hesitate. I wouldn't even blink to come out and
Speaker 1: run at seven for New South Wales. I wouldn't even blink,
Speaker 1: wouldn't even blink to do it, because you know what
Speaker 1: you're going to get. I know exactly what you're going
Speaker 1: to get. You're going to get gags, man, you're going
Speaker 1: to get kicking game, You're going to get gold kicking,
Speaker 1: whatever you want. He's the one that should be doing
Speaker 1: the job. Trust me. That's just a little bit of
Speaker 1: free advice. That's nothing against Jerome and Matt Burton, but
Speaker 1: that's not their role, not for Origin three and a decider,
Speaker 1: bring the kid back? Would you be happy for Burton's
Speaker 1: eighteenth man again, I'm always happy for him to be
Speaker 1: eighteenth man. I'm always happy for him to go into
Speaker 1: camp and not get a run and not be available
Speaker 1: for the Bulldogs.
Speaker 5: So that.
Speaker 1: That's just how the system works at the moment. You
Speaker 1: know we're going to put up with that. But you know,
Speaker 1: Matt Burton, one day I'll be the new South Wales
Speaker 1: five eight. That's what he's aiming to do and he's
Speaker 1: just going to keep working until that happens. What's this face?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't even hesitate. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what everyone's talking about. I've haven't heard his name mentioned.
Speaker 1: Do you expect Cleary to play though? From what you
Speaker 1: you play Thursday night, I'm not let alone in the origin.
Speaker 2: He finished the game. Whenever you finish the game, that's
Speaker 2: that's generally a pretty good sign. I'm sorry with you
Speaker 2: guys and everyone. I don't think he was sent on
Speaker 2: the night here. He wasn't bad. I don't think he
Speaker 2: let anyone down, but he wasn't greater that he wasn't
Speaker 2: the Nathan Clear. We normally know, we're expecting the big
Speaker 2: Gang to play the way we know he can play,
Speaker 2: so that was probably.
Speaker 1: The issue for him. But he finished the game, so
Speaker 1: hopefully's okay. All right? That's I don't even hesitate little
Speaker 1: Bronco number.
Speaker 2: I get a feeling it might sneak its way back
Speaker 2: in some stage during the show. Stay with us where
Speaker 2: shifting ears and just the moment, tell me Turboive is
Speaker 2: in the house a lot doing it.
Speaker 1: Manley, the club, the coach him.
Speaker 2: Himself, all that and so much more with the man
Speaker 2: right here on sets right after this your.
Speaker 3: Break, bo boys, have a look where you are immediately
Speaker 3: we got this place. How good is a playing for
Speaker 3: your local area? You can stay home and play.
Speaker 7: It's good. You know, we really love it obviously growing
Speaker 7: up here. It's a big part of our life and
Speaker 7: you know, to get played for Seagulls. We both really
Speaker 7: love it and that's really enjoyable.
Speaker 3: We're you're both from Barnavar, which is about half an
Speaker 3: hour without traffic down the road. He's always wanted to
Speaker 3: play for Vanley.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, you know obviously growing up around the area
Speaker 8: and you know you go watch the men and team
Speaker 8: on the hill every every weekend and used to love
Speaker 8: watching them. So there's always a germ of house to
Speaker 8: play for this great club. And if yeah, now that
Speaker 8: we're doing it's pretty special.
Speaker 3: My little boy played for Martival Raiders Bath to junior club.
Speaker 3: I used to notice, especially you Jake, you played in
Speaker 3: first grade with the next day you'd be down for
Speaker 3: junior footy all day working in the chaos, coaching a
Speaker 3: team or running the line and being alignsman, giving back
Speaker 3: to the local club. Where does that come from, Wall
Speaker 3: or why.
Speaker 9: Did you do it?
Speaker 7: Well? Obviously enjoyed coaching the kids and that sort of thing,
Speaker 7: getting down and watching them on the SAT day. So yeah,
Speaker 7: I guess we grew up doing it. And it was
Speaker 7: this a big part of our life growing up, so
Speaker 7: just kept doing that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's Troup perfect tropects. Next quote away, I'm just
Speaker 10: talking of Travoy Evis and he was absolutely magnificent.
Speaker 3: Most brothers have little quirks and me know, secrets about
Speaker 3: each I know, I've got a lot of secrets about
Speaker 3: my brother. Uh, tell us something about Tom.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 7: I think you know, he's very book smart, genius when
Speaker 7: it comes to school in university and all that sort
Speaker 7: of stuff.
Speaker 5: He does economics, it's just horrible. But yeah, but when it.
Speaker 7: Comes to common sense in life and following schedules, her
Speaker 7: struggles affair.
Speaker 3: But you you have to look after him.
Speaker 5: You got to look after him.
Speaker 9: Okay, Tom, tell us something about Jake. No one knows
Speaker 9: now that e been sits off. I'm getting back to know.
Speaker 9: One thing I don't think anyone really knows. This is
Speaker 9: addicted to his hair.
Speaker 8: Like we're trying to leave to go to training and
Speaker 8: stuff and to doing his hair. Yeah, he gels it
Speaker 8: up and gets every product in the book.
Speaker 3: We always play together.
Speaker 7: Hopefully we can stay playing together at mainly that'd be ideal,
Speaker 7: but you never know what happens. In football, and it's
Speaker 7: a funny game and.
Speaker 8: Except we grow up here, we love it here and
Speaker 8: you know we want to play together that we really
Speaker 8: enjoy it.
Speaker 11: It's a boy a bit.
Speaker 1: And he got in.
Speaker 2: Seven years ago Jemmo went to having the chin wag
Speaker 2: with the eighth of Mortel of the course Alien Manly
Speaker 2: or to treated is, tell me here tonight, hell mate
Speaker 2: and hello Michael Jimmins, Tell James, what do you think?
Speaker 8: What's your's tough watch? I don't know you did my
Speaker 8: media training when I was younger, but that was a
Speaker 8: tough watch.
Speaker 1: Eight years ago eighteen was looking any different thought that
Speaker 1: was this week.
Speaker 9: I got better with that, just to say, I don't.
Speaker 2: Think it's been a pretty fun ride for you guys
Speaker 2: up to that point, but from from that point onwards,
Speaker 2: a lot's happened.
Speaker 9: Yeah it has.
Speaker 8: It's on a rugby leagu's given us a great life
Speaker 8: and you know we've lucky that the opportunities we've gotten. Yeah,
Speaker 8: this club has been been great to us. And yeah
Speaker 8: it's funny you look back and it doesn't feel like
Speaker 8: that long ago, but you kind of see how young
Speaker 8: you look there, and yeah, it's been good journey.
Speaker 1: And you got Ben in the meex now too, that
Speaker 1: makes even more special.
Speaker 8: Well, that's the good kind of thing. We me and
Speaker 8: Jake both speak about it, but we don't. Probably didn't
Speaker 8: realize how special it was to be playing together until
Speaker 8: Ben come along. And I still remember when Ben debuted
Speaker 8: up in Newcastle and had a bit of a tear
Speaker 8: in my eye, and like, I've been playing for Jake
Speaker 8: for so long and it wasn't until Ben come along
Speaker 8: you kind of realize how special it was.
Speaker 1: That golf prank too, pushing into there.
Speaker 9: That's still one of the funniest moments.
Speaker 1: In history. Now I know that Blake next year's die.
Speaker 1: Now ask you a few questions. Question, I've got that before.
Speaker 11: Now it's good to have me here.
Speaker 1: Tom.
Speaker 11: Appreciate you making yourself available. And it's been a difficult
Speaker 11: couple of weeks of difficult year for manly in yourself.
Speaker 11: Just first of the question that you get asked by everyone,
Speaker 11: how how is the body? I know you're sick of it,
Speaker 11: but a lot of people talking about your body more
Speaker 11: than most would talk about others.
Speaker 8: Yeah, unfortunately that's kind of been the case for me.
Speaker 8: But no, feeling really good, So I come back bad
Speaker 8: bye this week. We come back last week against the Titans,
Speaker 8: and you know, felt really good out there. Obviously, probably
Speaker 8: didn't play the footage that I wanted to, We didn't
Speaker 8: play the foot as a team that we wanted to,
Speaker 8: but you know, I felt really good. And yeah, like
Speaker 8: I said, give me a bit of confidence going to
Speaker 8: the next week.
Speaker 11: Well, you then go back to training and then apparently
Speaker 11: you met with Anthony sea Bowl and you've been told
Speaker 11: since that you're moving from fullback to centerp How have
Speaker 11: you taken that news? Was that a decision that you
Speaker 11: made together? How did that sit with you?
Speaker 8: Look, it was a siasion that I guess the coaching
Speaker 8: staff made and inform me of. And yeah, look, i'd
Speaker 8: relyind you say if it wasn't disappointing at the start
Speaker 8: to hear that. Obviously, you know, played fullback for a
Speaker 8: long time in this club and I love playing that position.
Speaker 8: But yeah, look, for now, I guess I've come to
Speaker 8: terms where I understand. I completely get where the decisions
Speaker 8: come from and whatnot. You know, having someone like leut
Speaker 8: there who's playing exceptional foota this year, so I completely understand,
Speaker 8: and you know, I'm really excited for the new opportunity
Speaker 8: playing center this week?
Speaker 2: So was it more because as a fallback, you're doing
Speaker 2: a hell of a case during the week of training
Speaker 2: and then obviously on the field as well. Is that
Speaker 2: more of accasion than the amount of cas you have
Speaker 2: to run?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's part of the decision why they've
Speaker 8: come up with it. But yeah, look, it's you know,
Speaker 8: they obviously thought about it and talked about it as
Speaker 8: a coaching staff and a group, and that's what they
Speaker 8: feel like. It's best for the team. And I'm happy
Speaker 8: to do what's best for the team, you know. I
Speaker 8: want to just be back out there playing good footy,
Speaker 8: winning footy games and playing it back end of the
Speaker 8: year the team.
Speaker 2: Why are they struggling so much in this this midpoint
Speaker 2: of the season. All looks so promising earlier in the year.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we just struggled to find consistency. You know, when
Speaker 8: we're on, I feel like we can match it with
Speaker 8: any you know, some of the top sides in the camp.
Speaker 8: But we haven't been on consistently enough. And yeah, that's
Speaker 8: been a real struggle for us over the past couple
Speaker 8: of years, I think, and I think it's just something
Speaker 8: that you know, we've got ten games to go now,
Speaker 8: and you know it's now and ever, you know.
Speaker 1: No one's out of it, mate.
Speaker 2: You look, we're going to look at the ladder a
Speaker 2: bit more later on two wins and you're all a
Speaker 2: suddenly in the eight thing.
Speaker 8: You've got to start winning footay games and playing playing consistently,
Speaker 8: and you know you can't lose too many of the
Speaker 8: positions we should in now. So you know, the Tylers
Speaker 8: this Friday night at home. So it's a great, great
Speaker 8: opportunity for us.
Speaker 1: But what about the DC decision.
Speaker 2: Obviously when he made it, he's won a game and
Speaker 2: then he's one of the lose three or four in
Speaker 2: a row. Did that impact the club and certain players
Speaker 2: within the club, do you think or he's getting on with.
Speaker 8: It nothing to do with our performance. Obviously, I played
Speaker 8: with chairs was a long time and you know a
Speaker 8: lot of people have at our club. And when I
Speaker 8: guess you're formed us that he's not going to be there,
Speaker 8: it was, you know, it was a little bit, a
Speaker 8: little bit sad, a little bit disappointing because you know,
Speaker 8: we love having Chased at our club, but it's none
Speaker 8: of the reason is why we're playing this way is
Speaker 8: because of that decision, you know, everyone's moved on. I
Speaker 8: think we're signing you half back, and we're you know,
Speaker 8: really focused on winning footay games. I know it probably
Speaker 8: doesn't look at the way we're playing, but it's certainly
Speaker 8: not a thing for us.
Speaker 1: Tommy, with all the with the the last few years,
Speaker 1: I mean, you've sort of been treading water and coming
Speaker 1: back from injury, getting injured, coming back from injury. When
Speaker 1: was the last time you actually felt a million percent
Speaker 1: like you were really ready to go.
Speaker 8: I think the back end of last year I felt
Speaker 8: really good. I was I felt like I was playing
Speaker 8: some of the back playing some of the best footall
Speaker 8: I played for a while. Obviously I kind of Miami
Speaker 8: midway through the year, but I feel like I'd come
Speaker 8: back from that really well and played consistently, and you know,
Speaker 8: played a bit of finals as well, which was nice,
Speaker 8: and played the eusy stuff. But this year's just been
Speaker 8: a real challenge. I've had a few different things that
Speaker 8: have been keeping me off the field, and I just
Speaker 8: haven't been able to find that consistency and get really
Speaker 8: confidence in the way does a.
Speaker 1: Get harder mentally to come back every time? Every time
Speaker 1: you get a set back, is a get harder to
Speaker 1: get back into the grind and go again?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say it does you just I don't
Speaker 8: know it, just not self self doubts one way and
Speaker 8: putting it. But you did you start the question?
Speaker 1: I guess what you do if you ever had that thought,
Speaker 1: maybe this is all too much.
Speaker 9: Every now and again.
Speaker 8: But you know, I still love playing footy and that's
Speaker 8: what keeps me motivated and I want to be successful.
Speaker 9: So yeah, but you definitely have those thoughts.
Speaker 1: So how long do you think you've got when you
Speaker 1: when you sort of look at what your career is
Speaker 1: going to do? Now, how long do you think you
Speaker 1: can play for?
Speaker 9: I'd like to think I've got a few more years
Speaker 9: in me.
Speaker 1: That's a few Oh holy now? How holy?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 9: Twenty nine in October?
Speaker 1: All right, you should have six or seven years left
Speaker 1: in you? How does that feel? If I say six
Speaker 1: or so?
Speaker 8: I would absolutely love to play six or seven more years,
Speaker 8: Absolutely love that, But I understand that I haven't been
Speaker 8: on the field enough to probably want saying that at
Speaker 8: the moment. So look, although you're looking far ahead, I'm
Speaker 8: not really focused on I guess that right now, I
Speaker 8: just want to get back play footy.
Speaker 1: And then what I'm saying, I mean there's better days ahead.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can just get past this bit,
Speaker 1: there's still a long future in front of it.
Speaker 9: I think.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think, and I think that'll be the
Speaker 1: part that people remember. As good as you've been up
Speaker 1: until now, that can be the part people remember.
Speaker 9: I appreciate that guy game.
Speaker 2: Like we say, like a few weeksgo, for example, and
Speaker 2: then you had a two on one down down a
Speaker 2: short side and you just didn't seem to be going
Speaker 2: the way we know you can go when you're in
Speaker 2: the game and you're in that moment where you feel
Speaker 2: like you can open up. Is that when you have
Speaker 2: any self doubts or at that point in time you're
Speaker 2: not thinking about it.
Speaker 9: No, I'm not thinking about it.
Speaker 8: I feel like it's got to a point where if
Speaker 8: I don't play well, it's because I'm look injured or whatnot.
Speaker 8: I feel like, unfortunately, that's where it's got to where
Speaker 8: it's not the case. I think we're referring to the
Speaker 8: last time I played against the Titans. But yeah, look
Speaker 8: I actually felt really good physically out there, So it's
Speaker 8: just about me playing good footing and I guess that
Speaker 8: will deal with with itself and the background to.
Speaker 11: Mean, gu've touched on your future. I know you do
Speaker 11: want to look six or seven years along, but there's
Speaker 11: talk about manly meeting of your manager about your future.
Speaker 11: Both you and Jake off contract at the end of
Speaker 11: next season free agents November one. What's your view on it? Like,
Speaker 11: I imagine the club doesn't know where you're going to
Speaker 11: be playing, and you're playing one, you're playing six, you're
Speaker 11: playing center.
Speaker 1: Who knows?
Speaker 11: How do you handle this next period and what does
Speaker 11: the future look like? When your manager sits down with
Speaker 11: you and says, what do we do now?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Look, I feel like you journal really talk about this
Speaker 8: November one date like it's the be all and end all.
Speaker 11: Sounded like Gus, Now I give you one compliment, now
Speaker 11: you want to start out, But.
Speaker 8: The reality is I'm mainly for another eighteen months since
Speaker 8: it's not really a concern for me right now. I
Speaker 8: need to play good footy and consistent footy and then
Speaker 8: we'll talk about it. It hasn't really cosst my mind
Speaker 8: to too deeply.
Speaker 11: That's six conversation though it's been had. Right, what's the
Speaker 11: conversation's been with at the club about you playing six
Speaker 11: it's something you want to do.
Speaker 9: Oh, that was something that was tossed out. I spoke
Speaker 9: to see.
Speaker 8: It's a bit about it last yearly Bay through last year,
Speaker 8: but haven't really spoken about him as much late, and
Speaker 8: I know that we've signed to over there, so I'm
Speaker 8: not too sure exactly what the plans and how it
Speaker 8: look like in the future, but that's something that we
Speaker 8: can sit down and work out later.
Speaker 2: The coach you mentioned him, ethne while there. Are the
Speaker 2: players happy for him to stay on as head coach?
Speaker 9: Yeah, we are.
Speaker 8: Look, I think all that stuff that's coming on at
Speaker 8: the moment is just external noise and it's because we're
Speaker 8: not winning footy games. And the reality is we start
Speaker 8: winning some footy games, that all go away. So that's
Speaker 8: what we're all focused on as the club. We just
Speaker 8: need to go out there and put our best foot
Speaker 8: forward this weekend and win some games.
Speaker 2: Your CEO, Tony Mestrov spoke earlier today that there has
Speaker 2: been a discussion of eventually Michael Ennis might be playing
Speaker 2: a role and obviously Zia as an assistant if he wants.
Speaker 1: To become a head coach in the NRL. What is
Speaker 1: Mick Brein.
Speaker 8: Oh, look, Nick's a very smart footy brain, very good talker,
Speaker 8: and you'd be a very good coach one day. But
Speaker 8: I'm not too sure what the succession plan looks like
Speaker 8: at how it will evolve. But right now seats to
Speaker 8: our coach and we're just focused on it now and
Speaker 8: that's winning footy games.
Speaker 11: Price Tom, I want to ask about the meetings that
Speaker 11: you had with Seeds last week. There was my understanding
Speaker 11: was there was a feeling a little bit of unrest
Speaker 11: after that conversation with some of the players. What was
Speaker 11: the moon like, what did you gather from the players
Speaker 11: after what went down? Sound like a pretty honor session
Speaker 11: with the players last week.
Speaker 8: I think after any on a session like that, there's
Speaker 8: going to be people not feeling too great about themselves,
Speaker 8: Like I'm included in that. You know, you don't some
Speaker 8: things you hear from a coach you don't love hearing,
Speaker 8: but you need to hear them. So I think everyone's
Speaker 8: I guess, you know, come to terms of what the
Speaker 8: men told and now it's about doing. Actually, you know,
Speaker 8: that's all we need to do. We get judges on
Speaker 8: the eighty minutes we pay each weekend and we've just
Speaker 8: got to go in action everything.
Speaker 1: Tigers are the early kickoff on Friday.
Speaker 9: Ready for them, very ready, very ready.
Speaker 11: Got some scuttle for you on the Tigers. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 11: he's not breaking on his promoting one that he might
Speaker 11: have before we let you go. If you got another
Speaker 11: one for he does touched on early about the eighteenth man.
Speaker 11: I know he's mucking around, but I told in game
Speaker 11: one you were after be eighteenth man for the Blues
Speaker 11: and at the time, mainly we're losing. You decided that
Speaker 11: you wanted to focus on mainly from what I understand,
Speaker 11: What is your take on the eighteenth man situation? In
Speaker 11: your view, you had to choose club between state. Is
Speaker 11: that fair to put players in that situation?
Speaker 8: Look, this is isn't it that I shouldn't rest on me?
Speaker 8: But I personally don't love missing a game to be
Speaker 8: a man. I don't feel that's right by the fans
Speaker 8: and the player itself. So that's my view.
Speaker 2: But yeah, interesting, I think it's one of them we
Speaker 2: looked at a little bit more down the track. Well,
Speaker 2: they should, to be honest with you, great to have
Speaker 2: you here, Turbo all the best against the Tigers for
Speaker 2: the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: Thanks having mate, You'll be flying.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's a plan fighting fit. He's eyeing you off down
Speaker 1: the end there, mate, he wants to see him blue
Speaker 1: and white. Yes, he's eign enough as well. Bears bears
Speaker 1: recruitment off, so expect to call from big Mouth sometimes
Speaker 1: they no, just kidding. Stay with us. Thanks for coming.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Tell me here in the studio tonight after the break.
Speaker 2: Ricky Stewart our special feature on a bloke that's got
Speaker 2: the Green Machine Humming Chevy goes one on one.
Speaker 1: With the Raiders coach right after his show.
Speaker 11: Rick, you've achieved so much in the game, and from
Speaker 11: the outside looking in, Coach, it looks all consuming and
Speaker 11: you have to sacrifice a lot. You never switch off,
Speaker 11: and you miss out on a lot. When you get
Speaker 11: to the point in your life and you've done so much,
Speaker 11: how hard is it to find that motivation to keep going?
Speaker 11: What is it that drives you?
Speaker 12: You know, that feeling at the eightieth minute when you
Speaker 12: win win a game of football that honestly it's I
Speaker 12: haven't taken drugs before, but if that's a drug I
Speaker 12: would be addicted.
Speaker 6: That's what keeps me going.
Speaker 12: The relationships and the mats you I've made with players
Speaker 12: that players that have left now, and not just from
Speaker 12: this club, you know, from Cronulla and the Roosters.
Speaker 6: I'm still so close.
Speaker 12: To say many of those players, and even the players
Speaker 12: that you have to tap on the shoulder of, even
Speaker 12: the players that you mightn't gotong with.
Speaker 11: Have you ever had times year or you thought you
Speaker 11: know what, because it really it feels like another You
Speaker 11: had a good team, had a premiership window there that
Speaker 11: closed and you're resetting again and you've got a great
Speaker 11: young players coming through. Have you ever felt I haven't
Speaker 11: got another rebuilding me.
Speaker 12: I've never felt I haven't got another rebuilding me. I
Speaker 12: know I haven't had the privilege of having two or
Speaker 12: three market players and on my doorstep.
Speaker 6: We've got to build those careers.
Speaker 12: And we're a lot different club to a lot of
Speaker 12: other clubs that coaches get handed these marquee players.
Speaker 11: Have you ever wondered or thought about what you've given
Speaker 11: up as a result of this life? Has that crossed
Speaker 11: your mind?
Speaker 12: And it's more what the game has given me. My
Speaker 12: family have had to give up a lot for me
Speaker 12: to do this job. The camera Raiders have given me
Speaker 12: a life as a player, the opportunity to come back
Speaker 12: here and coach. They've given me a lot more than
Speaker 12: what I've given them.
Speaker 11: Do you think your family would if you just packed
Speaker 11: up and finished up? Would they be happy? Would they
Speaker 11: be sad that's over?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: I don't think Kaylie had handled me at home for
Speaker 6: more than two or three days.
Speaker 11: You told by the boys that they needed you to
Speaker 11: be a lot more level with emotion. How have you
Speaker 11: found that this season?
Speaker 12: For them to come to their head coach and talk
Speaker 12: to them about areas that they need to see me improving,
Speaker 12: A lot of it is emotion. I think that's a
Speaker 12: part of the relationship. Was that's been builty?
Speaker 11: What was that like for you when they came to you?
Speaker 11: Did you know what they were coming to you about?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: No, no, I didn't.
Speaker 12: But yeah, it's it's criticism that's going to help you,
Speaker 12: if it's if it's going to help them, I've got
Speaker 12: a I haven't got a choice, But I actually haven't
Speaker 12: got a choice on the emotion either. It just comes out.
Speaker 12: But I've got to be better and better at times.
Speaker 12: But there's also motion that will never change. That's the
Speaker 12: top of blake I am, and they ain't going to change.
Speaker 11: So from what I heard that they came to you
Speaker 11: and said, need to be better when you lose, better
Speaker 11: when you win. Like is that the gist of the conversation.
Speaker 6: It was more better when you lose.
Speaker 12: You know, that's if you can't enjoy yourself after a win,
Speaker 12: I don't want to do the job. And that doesn't
Speaker 12: mean you have two or three days off work. There's
Speaker 12: areas there that after you win. There was times there
Speaker 12: where I mightn't be as hard on them after a
Speaker 12: winn as I was after a loss. So I've had
Speaker 12: to balance that and that's helped me this year because
Speaker 12: you know, we've had winds this year and I've ripped
Speaker 12: a noodle the next day. You also got to understand
Speaker 12: there's a lot of personalities that can't handle that. There's
Speaker 12: a lot of there's a lot of personalities that couldn't
Speaker 12: handle my emotions are for a loss.
Speaker 6: I've had to change that.
Speaker 11: You touched on what players can handle. How much has
Speaker 11: that changed over the years?
Speaker 6: Massive?
Speaker 12: What's the main difference oh self and toilerment? Sometimes the
Speaker 12: blacks you look after mostly you're down the most.
Speaker 6: And that's not just me.
Speaker 12: There'll be a lot of coaches, you know, if it's
Speaker 12: appreciated what you're doing for them, you keep working for them.
Speaker 12: And it's the guys that feels that you should be
Speaker 12: they're the ones I soon lose patients with what were
Speaker 12: you like after a loss?
Speaker 6: I'm better now on getting better.
Speaker 1: I just see Sticky having a laugh at himself. And
Speaker 1: isn't he having a wow season?
Speaker 2: Always so entertaining and watching him run up and down
Speaker 2: that sideline.
Speaker 1: He's had plenty of cheer about this year.
Speaker 2: That passion Gus, you know, well, that's one thing, as
Speaker 2: he really admits, will then be able to knock out
Speaker 2: of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're never going to change the fact that he's
Speaker 1: a fierce competitor. That will that will never ever change
Speaker 1: how he reacts to those emotions as something he's learned
Speaker 1: to do. They say he's mellowed. I wouldn't say he's mellowed.
Speaker 1: He's probably controlled it until a later time in the day.
Speaker 1: I love watching him with his son Jed getting that debut,
Speaker 1: and that was especially because he would have been really
Speaker 1: nervous about that game. He wouldn't have given him that
Speaker 1: game easily. You know, Jed really had to earn it,
Speaker 1: but he would have been a real dad on the sideline.
Speaker 1: They're hoping everything went good, and it did. Jed was
Speaker 1: really good, played real strong, scored a good try and
Speaker 1: did his job. Jef was that another club I he
Speaker 1: would have played the first ground already. Probably, there's no
Speaker 1: doubt the world. Ricky Stiel would not be a kiss
Speaker 1: of epotism. He would player.
Speaker 2: He's ready, mate, we need to give him a game.
Speaker 2: So stick is an amazing girl's touch point. For a
Speaker 2: few years had a lot to do with him, and
Speaker 2: I loved him as a characterfic fellow and I'm can
Speaker 2: say he's a very very hard man, but he's very
Speaker 2: very fair. You can you can go blah with him,
Speaker 2: have an aargument with him and will be forgiven later on.
Speaker 1: But I think the thing that's changed with him fair.
Speaker 1: I think he's become patient with talent, and patient with
Speaker 1: developing talent, and patient with his team. Where earlier in
Speaker 1: his career could be impatient with that sort of thing,
Speaker 1: He's become very patient with the younger blokes. He's very
Speaker 1: good from these days.
Speaker 2: All right, great chat, Jimmy, you and Ricky Stewart one
Speaker 2: on one there. But it is that time of the
Speaker 2: night for scuttle but Central and as always, you've got
Speaker 2: a fair bit you want to get through, so let's
Speaker 2: rip into it. Selwyn Cobbo at the Broncos, a lot
Speaker 2: of chat about his future.
Speaker 1: Where does it sit as we sit here tonight?
Speaker 11: Well, a bit of breaking news tonight that the Broncos
Speaker 11: are re signing Josiah carat Party on a two year deal.
Speaker 11: They've got Grant Anderson coming to the club from Melbourne
Speaker 11: next year. That speaks to the fact that Selwyn Cobbo
Speaker 11: is unlikely to be at the club beyond this year now.
Speaker 11: The Dragons met with him in Wollongong last week, he
Speaker 11: flew to Sydney met with the Dragons. They're waiting to
Speaker 11: see what the Broncos do. They want to make sure
Speaker 11: that he wants he's ready to leave Brisbane before they
Speaker 11: make him an offer. The Cowboys showed interest as well.
Speaker 11: They're talking about a short term deal if it was
Speaker 11: to become available the rest of this season, whereas the
Speaker 11: Dragons are looking at maybe eighteen months now. They do
Speaker 11: have the roster spot for this year. The Dragons they
Speaker 11: have had Ben Hunt and Francis Molo leave the club,
Speaker 11: so they got the money as well. They In a
Speaker 11: perfect world, the Dragons would get Shelwyn Cobo for this year,
Speaker 11: not to play fullback, to play center or wing. The Broncos, however,
Speaker 11: unlikely to entertain that before June thirty.
Speaker 1: At this stage, it's going to.
Speaker 11: Depend on what Selwyn Cobo does and how happy he is,
Speaker 11: because the mail out of Brisbane is that perhaps he
Speaker 11: isn't at the moment really happy with the way he's
Speaker 11: being treated by Michael maguire. Some of the things that
Speaker 11: have transpired with him playing reserve go to have the
Speaker 11: last year.
Speaker 1: So that's the issue.
Speaker 2: He doesn't like manages a hard tach as we know,
Speaker 2: he doesn't like that, or Madge doesn't like his training
Speaker 2: ability or.
Speaker 11: What's what's the whole well, I think he's been dropped
Speaker 11: because Madge doesn't see his performance as being warranting his
Speaker 11: selection right. But also he's off contract and the Broncos
Speaker 11: have clearly not made him a priority. I'm not saying
Speaker 11: that's right or wrong, but they've obviously resigned other players
Speaker 11: signing j like Caraparni, Graan Anderson as well. So that
Speaker 11: leaves him in a situation where his future looks like
Speaker 11: it's not going to be a Brisbane and the Dragons
Speaker 11: are ready to pounce. Whether or not that Madge is
Speaker 11: willing to let your injuries can happen at any time.
Speaker 11: If you're a Brisbane and you think you're a chance
Speaker 11: at winning a title, then do you let him.
Speaker 5: Go this year?
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to happen. Cameron Selwyn Cobbo.
Speaker 1: Is he a fullback, winger or a center?
Speaker 5: Well, he's done pretty good things on the wing.
Speaker 4: Hasn't he to start his career brace But like most players,
Speaker 4: most quality fullbacks, they tend to start their career.
Speaker 5: On the wing, play a bit of time in the centers.
Speaker 4: And you know, we've seen Selwyn spend a bit of
Speaker 4: time at fullback when Reese Walls has been off the
Speaker 4: field with some injuries, and he's done a fantastic job.
Speaker 4: He's a big body, he's built a lot like you know,
Speaker 4: sort of Greg Gingliss. I know that we've had a
Speaker 4: few players playing our game that have been likened to
Speaker 4: Greg Ingliss, but look at he is a wonderful player.
Speaker 4: I've actually worked with Selwyn a few years back when
Speaker 4: I was involved in the Maroons camp.
Speaker 5: But wonderfully talented player.
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate at the moment that he's just he's not
Speaker 4: in favor or not in form at the Broncos and
Speaker 4: he's playing reserve grades. So I think, you know, to
Speaker 4: Michael's point, I don't think Madge will let.
Speaker 5: Him go this year. There's no way. There's no way,
Speaker 5: because you've seen on the weekend.
Speaker 4: You know, when they hit some good form, they're as
Speaker 4: good as any team of the competition.
Speaker 5: So they're as good a chance as.
Speaker 4: Anyone in the comp right now to take out you know,
Speaker 4: this year's premiership. And Selwyn Cobbo, you know, you just
Speaker 4: don't know if Reese Walsh goes down. He was hobbling
Speaker 4: on the weekend pretty hand. He played to have there
Speaker 4: to come in and play fullback.
Speaker 1: Yep. Well more than that.
Speaker 2: Bronco has come back a little later in the show
Speaker 2: as well. Terrell Sloan another one whose futures up in
Speaker 2: the air at the moment.
Speaker 11: Yeah, played reserve grade on the weekend. I think he's
Speaker 11: got a double trell for the Dragons. Now his future
Speaker 11: at the club is uncertain. It's my understanding that in
Speaker 11: the next week or two the Dragons are gonna have
Speaker 11: a chat with him and his manager about him potentially
Speaker 11: exploring options elsewhere he's contracted and through to the end
Speaker 11: of next year on a dial around. I think it's
Speaker 11: five hundred plus. Terrell Sloan, who was signed under Anthony
Speaker 11: Griffin as the club's long term fullback Cuthas' is there
Speaker 11: at the moment. Obviously, we mentioned that they're looking at
Speaker 11: Selwyn Cobbo, so Tyrrell Sloane could be someone who falls
Speaker 11: out of the Dragon system. It's all about value for money,
Speaker 11: isn't it. So we talk about Cobbo. His manager was
Speaker 11: chasing seven figures for Sellon at the start of the season.
Speaker 11: Now what are the Dragons think he's worth? What the
Speaker 11: Dragons wanted to play center a wing? Do they get
Speaker 11: the same amount of value for five or six hundred
Speaker 11: thousand they would get at a Terrell Sloane. Well, the
Speaker 11: club feels as though potentially they get more out of Cobbo.
Speaker 11: So it's a juggling act. And unfortunately for toyre L Sloane,
Speaker 11: he hasn't been able to really so many spot in
Speaker 11: first grade under Shane flannagain.
Speaker 1: We know this talent there though.
Speaker 2: Now in amongst all the fuss surrounding the Purse Bears
Speaker 2: and a lot of over there during origin forgotten, this
Speaker 2: is the team that's coming in the following year P
Speaker 2: and G. But things are about to ramp up.
Speaker 11: Yeah, big announcement expected tomorrow and Andrew Abdo, Peter Blandy's
Speaker 11: they heading to P and G tomorrow. They're taking over
Speaker 11: the new chairman and they're going to announce the board
Speaker 11: tomorrow and the new chairman will be unveiled that his
Speaker 11: former Bulldogs chairman Ray Dib. He will take control of
Speaker 11: the P and G team alongside Andrew Hill. Is the
Speaker 11: CEO at P and G.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 11: Andrew Hill's actually the man that Ray Dib appointed to
Speaker 11: be CEO at the Bulldogs before his time at the
Speaker 11: club came to an and he's obviously had a successful
Speaker 11: run at the Bulldogs, got the club to a couple
Speaker 11: of Grand finals. Did a lot for the club, is it.
Speaker 11: Peter Blandy's always talks about can do man well if
Speaker 11: people get things done. That's someone like Ray Dip. He
Speaker 11: likes to get things done and get things done pretty quickly.
Speaker 11: So he'll head over and head up the P and
Speaker 11: G franchise. They have a lot to do new coach players,
Speaker 11: so it's going to be a lot to do. A
Speaker 11: general manager. Maybe they'll come after Gus Well, you worked
Speaker 11: with Ray Dibb. Well, didn't work with him directly. But
Speaker 11: at the same time, what is regae as an administrator
Speaker 11: in the game. What do you think you'll add to
Speaker 11: P and G.
Speaker 1: Experience? As you say, he's got a can do attitude.
Speaker 1: He's very very passionate, very well connected, very well connected.
Speaker 1: Ray did, very well connected. Okay, he'll be able to
Speaker 1: do things and make things happen. That's what they need.
Speaker 1: These expansion teams back on. Some teams scuttle.
Speaker 2: The Tigers, as we mentioned earlier, they've got manly this
Speaker 2: Friday night at the early.
Speaker 1: Game, but going to be without one of their best.
Speaker 11: Yes, Jerrem Bulla unfortunately picked up a hamstring injury in
Speaker 11: the last play of the game against the Raiders on
Speaker 11: the weekend. They're chasing this kick here from Jerome Loui.
Speaker 11: I don't know it's seen in the background. Bully pulls
Speaker 11: up a little bit lame there. Jerrem just on the
Speaker 11: inside there, so it doesn't look good.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 11: It's four weeks at this point for Jerrem, could be six.
Speaker 11: They're looking at that at the moment. So that's going
Speaker 11: to force a reshuffle in the West Tigers lineup for
Speaker 11: that game against Many this week. Heath Mason has been
Speaker 11: playing in the six, will probably move to fullback and
Speaker 11: gives a lot to finally a chance to play in
Speaker 11: the number six, which is exciting given the way he
Speaker 11: played in that second half of the Tigers. So unfortunate
Speaker 11: news for the Tigers has been a wretched run over
Speaker 11: the last week left, last month or so.
Speaker 2: So many plays in that squad. Tell him to silver
Speaker 2: one of them? Any clearer on his future?
Speaker 11: No, well, he's been given permission to look around. Tell
Speaker 11: him to silver. The club were made aware that if
Speaker 11: they re signed Appy Chorus Hour or if a happy
Speaker 11: was a priority, that he would like to move on.
Speaker 11: That's the indication that Appy Chorus, how has got such
Speaker 11: a close relationship with Benji's been great for the Tigers
Speaker 11: that he's going to be their priority and talent has
Speaker 11: been given permission to look around. The Cowboys have expressed interest,
Speaker 11: the Eels and the Knights. This is where it all started.
Speaker 11: The Knights were looking at him potentially to bring him
Speaker 11: across this year to help them out at the club.
Speaker 11: So inentually, what happens with this is a massive decision.
Speaker 11: You've got a guy who's got a ten twelve year
Speaker 11: future in the game and someone who's probably done it
Speaker 11: all in Happy, but he hasn't got long left. You know,
Speaker 11: You've probably got a couple more years after this contract
Speaker 11: at best for Happy. So I'm not sure what they
Speaker 11: do in this situation. Smithy, you were in this situation
Speaker 11: a few years back when you were playing. Brandon Smith
Speaker 11: was looking for an opportunity. The Storm had to work
Speaker 11: out whether they keep a veteran like you or someone young.
Speaker 11: What's your advice to the Melbourne Storm.
Speaker 5: To the Melbourne Storm on the west.
Speaker 11: He gave you advice In the Melbourne Storm they got
Speaker 11: rid of Brandon Smith.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got rid of me.
Speaker 4: It's look at it's purely individual circumstance, isn't it, Michael.
Speaker 4: You know with the Tigers at the moment, where how
Speaker 4: long does Appy have left? I'm not too sure, you know,
Speaker 4: without knowing precisely how happy he is feeling about his future,
Speaker 4: how long he's got left physically? Is he feeling great? Mentally,
Speaker 4: does he still want to compete and turn up to
Speaker 4: training and play on the weekends. It looks that way
Speaker 4: to me watching him play on the weekends. You know,
Speaker 4: he's been in their top handful of players for the
Speaker 4: entire year. So it's it's always a bit of a gamble, right,
Speaker 4: you know, banking your future on a young player, a
Speaker 4: player that's untried on the most part. But you know,
Speaker 4: I think, you know, they got some smart people operating,
Speaker 4: you know, the West Tigers at the moment tick with
Speaker 4: Benji heading.
Speaker 5: Up as head coach of that footage side.
Speaker 4: So we'll wait and see, maybe Abby plays out another
Speaker 4: few years there and they find that the Tigers find
Speaker 4: themselves in finance Contentionent.
Speaker 2: Cameron, were you ever on the front cover of Game
Speaker 2: an NRL game PlayStation.
Speaker 5: Yes, I was just more than once.
Speaker 2: I reckon you would have been, But you think I
Speaker 2: was just that just the once, just the once. I
Speaker 2: didn't know they put referees on the front.
Speaker 5: When I'm in studio.
Speaker 2: That one was for Gus Earlier. I asked, because your
Speaker 2: last night and the scuttle involves the.
Speaker 1: New NRL game.
Speaker 11: Ye, a bit of fun, the new n OL game.
Speaker 1: I think it's coming out in July.
Speaker 11: The n r L will give them the opportunity to
Speaker 11: select who would be on the front page. And I
Speaker 11: can tell you this, man, I don't think. I think
Speaker 11: it was a no brainer. Nate looks Cleary will be
Speaker 11: on the front cover of the NRL newest game. No surprise,
Speaker 11: it's their look. It is no surprise, but it's I
Speaker 11: guess it reflects how he has been in the competition
Speaker 11: over the last few years. He's the face of the game,
Speaker 11: and I think the NRAL didn't take long in making
Speaker 11: that decision.
Speaker 1: Scored a fair trying.
Speaker 5: O is the other night.
Speaker 2: Chip paper now before we wrap up the Sculler Art Central,
Speaker 2: our cash Converters conversion of the week, and this one
Speaker 2: it's Guss's man actually the one he wants to go
Speaker 2: in if, of course, Nathan might be there for Game three,
Speaker 2: but it sounds like he's a certainty.
Speaker 1: Adam Reynolds, no brainer for me. You were all sitting
Speaker 1: in shocked silence because you hadn't even thought of it.
Speaker 1: No one had even thought of it. But he's the
Speaker 1: number seven, clear, he's not avail, little general.
Speaker 5: It's a beautiful kill.
Speaker 1: Bring him in for one little Alfie Langer moment right there?
Speaker 1: Could he used his goal kick in the other night too?
Speaker 11: Just quietly, yes, Michael, let's cuddle is that Nathan will
Speaker 11: be fine to play the Bulldogs this week.
Speaker 1: He's good to go. He'll be there Thursday night. What
Speaker 1: to blop us says one the eight and one is
Speaker 1: the Dogs, It is the Panther. It's Anny Early James,
Speaker 1: stay with us, just call me up here.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent forty after the break, god Father and
Speaker 2: the goat Plascal you're watching ahead of percent back after this.
Speaker 10: See they come Brisbane somewhere afternoon at home.
Speaker 11: Promised to pretty plan and were good put aside short
Speaker 11: sad Tamaki score for another.
Speaker 1: Stroke me, don't we pretty ordinary?
Speaker 11: Subnicola?
Speaker 5: We support.
Speaker 11: And I get a bit of confidence out of that.
Speaker 1: When we're down, we know we can fight back.
Speaker 5: Here great.
Speaker 1: Buck is up and run it.
Speaker 2: How discipline that is a dumb play, the discipline with
Speaker 2: the ball decision making, it's been poor their.
Speaker 11: Little space. What about this crowd who's got the front
Speaker 11: for the first time today?
Speaker 5: Why this is so?
Speaker 11: That's good? Pots, don't you. I'm going to address a
Speaker 11: discipline and at the moment we're not doing now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should be smiling.
Speaker 2: Madage twenty to twelve Down at the break and the
Speaker 2: Broncos at home on a Sunday, A go bang bang
Speaker 2: bang and not so.
Speaker 1: Much needed victory.
Speaker 2: Let's get stuck into that and plenty more right here, Footy,
Speaker 2: the Godfather and the Goat plus cow.
Speaker 1: Originally, when I saw that sign, I thought Gal was
Speaker 1: the goat. Oh, but then we've got a real goat.
Speaker 9: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't have the greatest of all Time? And I
Speaker 1: thought Cameron's on the panel that when it said goat,
Speaker 1: I thought this, man, Gal, are you stupid? You've ever
Speaker 1: seen what's that that? You're a goat? Yeah? Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: Cameron Smithier.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean greatest of all time? I mean goat.
Speaker 2: Okay, of course, God I love this show sometimes, Kemern,
Speaker 2: you kind.
Speaker 1: Of had to see it to believe it.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, this is the Broncos getting out of jail. Needed
Speaker 2: that one so so badly, and then a Shark's side
Speaker 2: that is just But you talk about preseason expectations of
Speaker 2: just under delivered in some particularly this middle Patch.
Speaker 4: Thing, Yeah, they have, and really it's just it's it's
Speaker 4: hard to comprehend where the Sharks are at at the moment,
Speaker 4: and particularly when you look at their footage side and there's.
Speaker 5: So much expectation.
Speaker 4: As you said, Brace, they just they can't put together
Speaker 4: eighty minutes at the moment. Either it's the first half
Speaker 4: blitz like they had on the weekend against the Broncos
Speaker 4: or the previous this week where it actually took them
Speaker 4: forty or fifty minutes to get going against the Dragons
Speaker 4: at Shark Park, and they put the Dragons to the
Speaker 4: sword in the second half.
Speaker 5: But what a turnaround it was in the second half.
Speaker 4: At one stage, what was it, twenty eight to twelve,
Speaker 4: thirty minutes to go in this game, the Sharks were leading,
Speaker 4: and then the Broncos they scored twenty four points in
Speaker 4: the last twenty five minutes. Of course, you Adam Reynolds
Speaker 4: was heavily involved. We've seen a bit of his goalkicking
Speaker 4: earlier on in the show. But amazing turnaround. If you
Speaker 4: create Fitz Gibbon and your Shark supporters, I'd be really
Speaker 4: concerned right now.
Speaker 2: Gal fifty summed up pretty well. The second half. The
Speaker 2: disciline was terrible, their ball control was terrible, But I
Speaker 2: don't think it just started from the weekend before. I
Speaker 2: think it's been going on for four or five weeks now.
Speaker 2: I don't think they've played with much intensity at all.
Speaker 2: I remember a game against a very young Ruster's side
Speaker 2: four or five weeks ago, with the Risks for forty
Speaker 2: one points against them. They played the Warriors at home,
Speaker 2: no intent. I was out of the game, no intensity whatsoever.
Speaker 2: There was no aggression, particularly offensively. The Warriors with thirty
Speaker 2: or forty on them first half against the Dragons, as
Speaker 2: we know, it was terrible. They probably got away with
Speaker 2: the under a little bit lucky the second half and
Speaker 2: got the win there, and then I gain on the weekend.
Speaker 2: There wasn't a lot of intensity in that match for
Speaker 2: me at all, even in the first half the start
Speaker 2: of setting out they led twenty eight points to twelve.
Speaker 1: They're still for me, wasn't as.
Speaker 2: Much aggression as I've come to know on the Shark
Speaker 2: side to produce. And I think when the Broncos got
Speaker 2: a bit of a stiff and the Sharks start making
Speaker 2: some errors and giving them penalties away, you know that
Speaker 2: they got a stiff and grew a leg and obviously
Speaker 2: scored twenty two one incoient points, so disappointing.
Speaker 1: If you're a sharky, how do they turn around?
Speaker 5: For me?
Speaker 2: They've got to find some energy and some aggression their defense.
Speaker 2: I just find they're not aggressive enough defensively. I haven't
Speaker 2: been around the club lot at the moment that this
Speaker 2: fight going on, so I haven't been around as much
Speaker 2: I want to be. I want to say, I can't
Speaker 2: wait to get back down there. But I just feel
Speaker 2: their intensity and matches at the moment is lucky. And again,
Speaker 2: as Fitzy said, did their discipline remarkably gast the Broncos
Speaker 2: at fifth?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's a crazy competition, yeah and crazy set that ladder
Speaker 1: a minute, But where are they on their day? Can
Speaker 1: they beat anyone in this competition? Absolutely? Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone can beat anyone in this competition.
Speaker 1: I think it's far from decider at the moment.
Speaker 2: I mean I made a point the other day to say,
Speaker 2: at the start of the season, if you said to
Speaker 2: someone this is what the ladder is going to look
Speaker 2: like after round fifteen, and they'd a laughed at you,
Speaker 2: all right, So who's to say? Who can predict what
Speaker 2: the ladd is going to look like in another ten weeks,
Speaker 2: twelve weeks, you know, I could flip on its head,
Speaker 2: the whole thing. And we're seeing some of the teams
Speaker 2: emerge from the bottom now and showing really good form,
Speaker 2: the Sharks and the Broncos. I mean, that was a
Speaker 2: beautiful Sunday Sunday afternoon. Both teams are great attacking teams.
Speaker 2: They could throw the ball around. It seems like they
Speaker 2: reserved all their energy for when they're in possession. Neither
Speaker 2: team was reserving a lot for when they didn't have
Speaker 2: the ball, and it just seemed like a little bit
Speaker 2: of a shootout. I think they'll both get a lot
Speaker 2: out of that game going forward, even though the Sharks
Speaker 2: would be disappointed in the result, and I don't think
Speaker 2: the Broncos will be that enamored with their defense either,
Speaker 2: So I think both sides will know that they've got
Speaker 2: to improve that.
Speaker 1: All right now.
Speaker 2: Gus, you mentioned the ladder, so we're gonna have a
Speaker 2: squizze at it for this origin period so far from
Speaker 2: round Why are you looking at the ladder because it's
Speaker 2: fun to round sixteen. You know, I love talking about
Speaker 2: two points now here. It is ahead of the origin period,
Speaker 2: stay in particular, Look at the Panthers. They've gone from
Speaker 2: last to fourteenth after one round. Roosters on the march,
Speaker 2: another round goes Seagulls starting this slip, Cowboys out of
Speaker 2: the eight. Now Panthers on the cusp of it. Roosters
Speaker 2: are in and this latest round done and dusted, and
Speaker 2: there you go. Year four almost looks.
Speaker 1: Set Bronco Shark rooster, Panther in the eight. Did you
Speaker 1: arrange all that fancy stuff? It's one text message this
Speaker 1: morning right now. Tell me what we've just learned from
Speaker 1: that last two minutes. Well, the things change really quickly.
Speaker 1: Nothing from all of that.
Speaker 11: Penrith was seventeenth, now their eighth, and it was four
Speaker 11: rounds of footing.
Speaker 2: I told you, as soon as you win a couple
Speaker 2: of games, you leap frog everyone, and there's buys and
Speaker 2: two pointers and everything in there. I mean, Dolphins have
Speaker 2: won more games than Penrith at the moment, but they'll
Speaker 2: behlow and on the ladder.
Speaker 1: So you just can't be looking at the ladder all
Speaker 1: the time. You've got to look at form, how they're going,
Speaker 1: who they've got to play for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: We're still going to get through this little Origin period.
Speaker 1: You've got to settle down, James.
Speaker 2: It looks right if you win through it for in
Speaker 2: a row, you'll let frog everyone frog. Every's a great
Speaker 2: exemple exactly. But with Gus as they throw buyers in
Speaker 2: that you got to go to games one. That's what
Speaker 2: we're going to look at games one, and you got
Speaker 2: to be around twelve games won by.
Speaker 1: The end of the season. I think they had the
Speaker 1: top eight somewhere around there. I reckon this this match
Speaker 1: the other night.
Speaker 2: I think everyone just expected it would be a Warrior
Speaker 2: a win, with all those players that were in Origin
Speaker 2: camp from Perth missing out, and yet there they are,
Speaker 2: the Pink Panthers doing what we know they can do,
Speaker 2: particularly the way.
Speaker 5: They were out standing Brace.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were outstanding Brace, particularly the halves I thought
Speaker 4: Ta Lungey and Schneider I thought really stood up in
Speaker 4: the absence of Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 5: I had the Warriors well and truly winning this game.
Speaker 4: You know, they've been in great form, sitting in the
Speaker 4: sort of top two or three for the last month
Speaker 4: and sell our crowds.
Speaker 5: I was always going to be a difficult.
Speaker 4: Game on the road for the Panthers, they couldn't get
Speaker 4: their Origin stars over there. You know, we heard a
Speaker 4: little bit about that news last week. But impressive, impressive
Speaker 4: victory by the Panthers. Moses Leo to stop up front
Speaker 4: against his old mate James Fisher Harris, So that was
Speaker 4: a great battle in the two props, but really impressive.
Speaker 5: I thought, I thought the injury or you know, the setback.
Speaker 4: You could see Luke Metcalfe is carrying some sort of
Speaker 4: leg injury, you know, for the most part of that
Speaker 4: second half. I really thought that hurt the chances of
Speaker 4: the Warriors. He's been in dynamic form for the most
Speaker 4: part of this year. Set up another couple of tries
Speaker 4: on the weekend, but I think just when that when
Speaker 4: that leg injury or that issue arose, it really took
Speaker 4: him out of the game and really took the attack
Speaker 4: really away from what the Warriors had shown in the
Speaker 4: first half.
Speaker 5: But boy, it's a great competition. I was just looking
Speaker 5: out the ladder before.
Speaker 4: There's only one team well outside of the Titans, every
Speaker 4: other team are only two wins out of the eight.
Speaker 5: So the Bunnies on the weekend nearly got home against
Speaker 5: a storm.
Speaker 4: They'd be sitting close to the top eight now if
Speaker 4: they would have got that win, so it's a close.
Speaker 2: Comp I understand why the Pans be living upset with
Speaker 2: the scheduling. Two for this one, the Shock they play
Speaker 2: an Origin game O. They're in Perth and they've got
Speaker 2: to go travel in New Zealand, and then they played
Speaker 2: Thursday night against the Dog so their margin players.
Speaker 1: We've got to play three games in eight days.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of footy, sol I do understand why
Speaker 2: some clubs have a little bit of an issue.
Speaker 1: With some of the scheduling. Three points between eighth and sixteenth.
Speaker 1: I know I'm obsessed. We're so excited and I'm.
Speaker 2: So excited, but what are those other teams to move
Speaker 2: entertainment plus yesterday afternoon. I know it's against the Cowboy
Speaker 2: side that's battling at the moment, Gus, but just how
Speaker 2: far can the Roosters go this year?
Speaker 1: Said right from the start of the season. The Roosters
Speaker 1: have got a plethora of really good young talent there
Speaker 1: and they just need time at the crease. They need
Speaker 1: time in the top grade to keep getting better. And
Speaker 1: you can see it now. You know, I don't know
Speaker 1: what this said more about the Cowboys or the Roosters
Speaker 1: where they are at the moment. But the Roosters show
Speaker 1: they've got their own special brand of football. They score
Speaker 1: tries other clubs just can't score by the way they
Speaker 1: think about the game and the way they act. And
Speaker 1: they've got some outstanding young talent here. Forget about what
Speaker 1: they doing now, as I said earlier in the year,
Speaker 1: think about what these kids are going to be doing
Speaker 1: in three or four years time. This is the building
Speaker 1: of another premiership window here. They are really really talented
Speaker 1: young players.
Speaker 2: Daily chair Evans and be licking his lips at the
Speaker 2: caliber of player who's going to get to play with.
Speaker 2: And this is without Semmi Walker coming back after another
Speaker 2: month on the sideline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got crazy talent, no risk in the world,
Speaker 1: all right, find a lot of them. The agenda.
Speaker 2: We've got our decider. But it all came from the
Speaker 2: origin over in Perth. You were all there the Rugby
Speaker 2: League support cam. We had fifty seven thousand over there.
Speaker 2: Big melmoun Ingram was going around spooking the Bears doing
Speaker 2: his thing. Is there enough support there for the NRL's
Speaker 2: newest franchise to be success?
Speaker 5: Yeah, brace I think so, definitely. You know, I was
Speaker 5: over there on the Monday. We had one hundred percent
Speaker 5: footy from the stadium and getting around town speaking with
Speaker 5: all the locals. That's all they kept talking about was
Speaker 5: how excited.
Speaker 4: They were about the Bears coming over to Perth and
Speaker 4: not far away from entering the NFL competition only a
Speaker 4: couple of years. Big Mal he was over there spreading
Speaker 4: the word of rugby league with the new CEO as well.
Speaker 4: I think I think YouTube brace you had a few
Speaker 4: functions of couple of cashi's. I reckon, it's a loose coin.
Speaker 4: I reckon, we're over there too, mate. But look, yeah,
Speaker 4: look it was fantastic. You know that they loved the
Speaker 4: game of rugby league. I think that showed with how
Speaker 4: many people turned up to watch State of Origin. They
Speaker 4: loved the event, they loved the sport, and on top
Speaker 4: of saying how excited they were about the team coming
Speaker 4: across the Perth, you know, having the Bears and having
Speaker 4: a team of their own, was that they were just
Speaker 4: great that rugby league was back in w A. You know,
Speaker 4: they're hungry for the sport and they want to see
Speaker 4: it grow, you know, tremendously over the next few years.
Speaker 2: I got the same opinion. I thought the same thing,
Speaker 2: But I still think they're going to have to have success.
Speaker 2: If they're losing week in week out, absolutely struggle. But
Speaker 2: I think everyone loves a winner. If they're winning games,
Speaker 2: they'll be okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm all for it. I was sad that they
Speaker 1: got dropped out in the Australian rag Vy League thirty
Speaker 1: odd years ago. I've done a lot of work in
Speaker 1: building Perth and building a base there and eventually put
Speaker 1: a team there in nineteen ninety five and the game was,
Speaker 1: as we know, hijacked at that time and Super League
Speaker 1: came in and there was a whole lot of doing
Speaker 1: and throwing and they threw it out. When we got
Speaker 1: down with the two competitions come back together, it was very,
Speaker 1: very sad. We should have Curse and Beard. God knows
Speaker 1: where Western Australia where that team would be nowadays, if
Speaker 1: they're still there, but we got rid of them. It's
Speaker 1: a little bit late to be going back there. But
Speaker 1: let's hope in the next thirty years we're not saying
Speaker 1: the same thing.
Speaker 2: They're never baby, all right. Moving on from the good
Speaker 2: Father the Goat and gal Onto our amphole power surge podium,
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what, We've got some good moments
Speaker 2: from the weekend that was.
Speaker 9: To have a look at.
Speaker 2: There's always great highlights coming out of a Raiders game.
Speaker 2: This one not with the ball, but rather the defense.
Speaker 2: Kayo Weeks here, Cam brilliant. That's desperation. How did he
Speaker 2: not get that over Cameron?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I still don't know. He's a special
Speaker 5: for scoring tries from their dream buller. But I'll tell
Speaker 5: you what good teams, the best teams, their defense is
Speaker 5: as good as their attack.
Speaker 2: It's all about the d as they say these days.
Speaker 2: The next one was the match winner for the Newcastle Knights.
Speaker 2: Brody Jones goals yeah, Jesse, okay does me got the
Speaker 2: bench for them?
Speaker 1: But their big winning the back end of the game
Speaker 1: for them. The hammer. The hammer.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say, I haven't seen him playing many
Speaker 2: bad games of hammer. I thought there was two or
Speaker 2: three tries, but he's a fullback. They want to totally
Speaker 2: blame him, but I thought he could have covered a
Speaker 2: little bit harder with his attacking the ball on a
Speaker 2: couple of kicks and that tried to dry there probably
Speaker 2: caught the bombs so anyway is what it is.
Speaker 1: They had a good win.
Speaker 2: The night's worn on top of the party in Cargo
Speaker 2: Pass Alex Johnston, he's an hour on record watch to
Speaker 2: meet the great Kennervine.
Speaker 1: He picked up four gus. Yeah, well if he keeps
Speaker 1: going to the current place and score three hundred, absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: Latrell Mitchell just kept putting it on a platter for him.
Speaker 1: Fancy scoring four tries and losing the game.
Speaker 5: That's that's the crime.
Speaker 1: It was hard to celebrate once you lose the game.
Speaker 1: But amazing performance by South Sidy. They should have won.
Speaker 1: If they should have won, it's almost like score more
Speaker 1: tries and still losing like Orange, It's like it's like
Speaker 1: scoring a fair trying. How you get this up? You
Speaker 1: put that one with us out town Top three coming
Speaker 1: up right after this shore Welcome back tam Top three
Speaker 1: time and we're going for the tries of the round.
Speaker 2: Plenty of goodies, Cam first cap off the rag sewer fun.
Speaker 1: How long ago I know how good he is cracking?
Speaker 5: How good is he he's put it.
Speaker 4: He's put a couple of these efforts on this year,
Speaker 4: coming from the wing, coming from fullback.
Speaker 5: That's on there he tips all.
Speaker 4: Wishy over but just out and out superstar can break
Speaker 4: the line from anywhere and very dangerous.
Speaker 5: From his own end.
Speaker 1: So it's really important. Melbourn Weekend's still Melbourne.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Melbourne boy, yeah.
Speaker 2: Us Latrell you mentioned it before putting this one on
Speaker 2: a platter too.
Speaker 1: Brilliant absolutely brilliant vision, wonderful execution. Look at that great
Speaker 1: work by the wing and to get there and if
Speaker 1: he kicks the goal, they win. Oh he missed the goal.
Speaker 1: Let's read brilliant vision there by the trail. That's a
Speaker 1: great great shot there.
Speaker 2: Well, monay with the try and then the Roosters Harlem
Speaker 2: globe trot the rest of this stuff.
Speaker 1: Yesterday against the Cows.
Speaker 2: Lord, we'll just out of before they just score tries
Speaker 2: the other's cars that bats it back in. Think of that,
Speaker 2: what a try gets over in the corner. But Gus
Speaker 2: said before they scored try, the other team just can't score.
Speaker 2: They had a lot of ability and they're going really
Speaker 2: well at the moment.
Speaker 1: They're surprising me. I've got to say that not only
Speaker 1: did he score the try when he got tackled up field,
Speaker 1: he was put in the third row of the grand
Speaker 1: stand he had to get back into the field to play.
Speaker 1: He saw the jogging down be and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden the ball ends up in his hands. Again. He's
Speaker 1: phenomenal this play. He is absolutely phenomenal.
