S1: Hi everyone. Welcome to our Monday edition of Mark My
S1: Words Story Time. We love a Monday because these two
S1: share stories and answer your questions. Hello m g.
S2: Hello, Mark lovey and hello Piglet m g Levi. Great
S2: to be here.
S1: Nice to see you boys. Another big weekend of footy
S1: and another pause.
S2: No I didn't did I? Hello boys. Great to be here.
S1: Could have driven a truck through that gap.
S2: Oh, I love it.
S1: I want to float the topic boys. Float the topic
S1: and you guys can give us something. Okay, so last
S1: week and they were very popular according to the, um,
S1: analytics of podcasting, whatever that means. Um, last week I
S1: asked you about your worst ever game this week. You
S1: wouldn't believe it. We've been up thinking about the topic
S1: all night, the greatest game you played. And how often
S1: did those games happen in your rugby league career? Gentlemen,
S1: story time go.
S2: Well, firstly, not often. Not often at all. Oh, turn
S2: it up. No, the ten out of ten games or
S2: nine out of ten games. Maybe 4 or 5 in
S2: my career. Yeah. Really? Yeah, yeah. Um, a lot of
S2: nine out of ten, but not ten out of ten. Yeah. Okay. Um,
S2: I'm going back to the late 80s. So I do
S2: say so myself.
S1: So humble.
S2: I was going to say before I was about seven
S2: out of ten. Sometimes I got an eight. All right. No,
S2: we're not on the same. That's not a level playing.
S1: Eight and a half.
S2: Okay. Thanks. There was a time between maybe 80, 88
S2: and 91 where I was kind of at the peak
S2: of my powers. Oh, yeah. And I came back from
S2: in 1989, I came back from England, um, because I
S2: got suspended in the last game of 80, 88. And
S2: it was back then when they had like a bit
S2: of a, a dodgy setup where you go over there
S2: and play. I got suspended for six weeks and you
S2: could get claim the game. It was the last game.
S2: So I had to go over there, sit out six
S2: weeks at Sheffield Eagles. Then I had to play six games. Right.
S2: So I was there for 12 weeks, three months. But
S2: I come back and my suspension was abolished. So my
S2: first game of the year, I'd come back.
S3: And you were ready to go.
S2: Ready to go. It was against the bears at Penrith Park.
S2: And I'd come back, um, and just went berserk just,
S2: you know, went out the line shoulder charging every forward
S2: they had and um, offloading at will. We went pretty
S2: easily about 26 nil. But that, that, that game was
S2: the first time I ever felt in first grade that
S2: I couldn't have played any better. I just wasn't peaking
S2: my powers. And yeah, I felt like I was, I
S2: was 21. I had my 21st in England playing for
S2: Sheffield and I made over there. So, um, and then
S2: you search for that, that same type of feeling because
S2: you go, if I can do that now, what can
S2: I do in every game? But it just doesn't work
S2: that way because the stars have got to be aligned.
S1: Did you ever come off the park thinking that's a
S1: ten out of ten? And then the coach got India?
S2: Yeah, yeah, a lot of games. I see my dad
S2: was my biggest barometer that my dad's probably the biggest critic.
S2: I've got my I come off the field and go.
S2: If I had a good, good, bad or ugly game,
S2: I would go. Oh, babe, you're so good. And I'd say, yeah,
S2: but you're biased. And then dad wouldn't talk to me
S2: if I. Yeah, he just.
S3: When you're playing NRL. Yep. Really? Even to that level.
S2: I'd go, so where's dad? He goes, oh, I didn't
S2: think you played it, mate.
S3: It's it's funny you say. Yeah. We fuck my dad
S3: was the same similar. Yeah. I, I can remember this
S3: is I don't want to jump in here and steal
S3: your story, but no. Um, I played my, my NRL
S3: playing career and my dad would give me the Russell
S3: Crowe thumb up or thumb down.
S1: Oh stop it.
S2: No way.
S3: Swear to God.
S2: When you come off.
S3: At half time.
S1: Where do you stand.
S2: When you're walking off the field?
S3: Yeah. When I was walking off the field like you, you,
S3: you know, you know, your family's in the crowd. You look,
S3: you know where they are. I'd look and he'd be like,
S3: you know, great work. Or he'd be like, come on, mate.
S3: And I'd be like, yeah, well, at the end of
S3: the day, when you're a kid, who do you want
S3: to impress your.
S2: Mum and dad? Yeah, they're.
S3: The ones, you know.
S2: Yeah, they're the ones.
S3: But that same thing. Silent treatment. I like it. I
S3: bring it up today because obviously I've got boys now.
S3: My mum and dad are at every game and my boys,
S3: they're always watching, you know, like they did for our
S3: our career. Me and my.
S2: Brother. Did they go to a young bloke that.
S3: No, no, no, none of that now is it when
S3: your grandparents.
S2: Your.
S3: Grandparents. Oh they played great. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. And
S3: then they're like, if I'm hard on my boys, they're like, oh,
S3: don't be like that. You know, they play good. I'm like, ah,
S3: excuse me. Sandy al you're not. Do you remember driving
S3: in the car after games and not even talking to me?
S2: Oh, man.
S3: This is your six year old son.
S2: But even like.
S3: Your seven year old son.
S2: That was me.
S3: Just played local league. That was me.
S2: Yeah, that was me. So that must have all been
S2: the same back then. They were because my dad, like
S2: I'd come home from games in the back crying for like,
S2: if I played for North Mount Druitt or someone, I'd say, dad,
S2: how do you think I go? He goes, he wouldn't
S2: say anything.
S3: Just wouldn't talk. But that would probably upset you more
S3: that he didn't say anything. True. Yeah.
S2: Of course. Mum was. Mum was Kevin. It's a bloody
S2: game of rugby league.
S3: But you know what. You appreciate it now, I reckon.
S2: Well maybe the player I was.
S3: Yeah.
S2: Maybe if he's got this all the time to me. Yeah.
S2: And I wasn't I wasn't like mum was. That's that's
S2: good cop bad cop like in 1990 in the kangaroo
S2: tour that was I was in beast mode on the
S2: kangaroo tour. You know, I missed out the first game
S2: against Wakefield. I had tonsillitis and then they unshackled me
S2: at the Cumbria and I just was just, you know,
S2: I thought I got man of the match in the
S2: 91 origin game with Wally, because all this media came
S2: in towards me after the game. I'm thinking of my
S2: dad who's next to me. I said, I think I
S2: got me the match. He goes, I don't think so.
S1: Thank you.
S3: Thanks, dad.
S2: Next minute they all come towards me. The media camera,
S2: 20 camera crews. I'm going, oh, I've got me in
S2: the match. I stand up and talk to Billy Woods,
S2: who was with channel ten on the telecast. On the sideline.
S2: He goes, Mark, how's it feel to be sited on
S2: six different occasions. Oh, man. The match. Yes, my Queensland jail.
S2: But yeah, there's, um. There's something in that that you
S2: aspire to, to always get that feeling of being so
S2: dominant in a game of rugby league. But you know what?
S2: Now I look back on my career and you know,
S2: probably at the time that it's going to be so
S2: hard to do what you did again or that that well,
S2: you can be close to it. Um, but like I
S2: look back at my career and there's probably, yeah, not
S2: even five occasions where I was at my, the peak
S2: of my powers and no one could tackle me and
S2: no one would run at me.
S1: Just on the, um, Wally thing. Right. I've always wanted
S1: to know this. Right. And I reckon the viewers and
S1: the listeners would too. So you mentioned the cameras come
S1: in and you think you've won man of the match,
S1: and you're standing there with your dad. When the cameras disappear,
S1: you have a shower, you get changed and you're leaving
S1: the ground, and then you're at the airport and you're
S1: flying home the next day.
S2: Is that Sydney footy stadium?
S1: It was. Of course it.
S2: Was. So what happened was they did a hastily convened
S2: judiciary hearing the next day, right at the. So this
S2: was the.
S1: Third everywhere you went. Were you just. Were people staring
S1: at you? Were people coming to have a go at
S1: you or.
S2: Oh, no, no, not here. They all pat me on
S2: the back.
S3: They loved him.
S2: Yeah yeah.
S3: Yeah.
S2: You crazy fucker. Because I was told to do the
S2: job like I was. I was, you know, 21. I
S2: was told to go out there and run amok. 21
S2: and not many people, not many people can get told
S2: at that age to go and run amuck against Queensland.
S3: And hold on 21 and be playing for New South
S3: Wales to begin with. That's unbelievable.
S2: Like while he was there talking about me while he
S2: was ten years old, he was 31. Yeah, like he
S2: was at the end of his career. I was the
S2: start of mine. So yeah, if two well known selectors
S2: are telling me to run out there and do what
S2: I tried.
S3: To do.
S2: In the first game, guess what? I'm going to do
S2: whatever they tell me to do 100%. Yeah. And I
S2: do it all again.
S1: It's just it's a side of the game that I
S1: don't think people appreciate that we see the 80 minutes
S1: on TV, and then you might see a clip in
S1: the press conference. But what happens in the days after
S1: that when there's a scandal? What happens in behind closed doors?
S1: What happens at home? You hide like the the Sydney
S1: Swans scandal and we won't go into it. But the
S1: players that are allegedly involved in that jumped in a
S1: car and drove back to Sydney to avoid the scrutiny
S1: at the airport. Yeah, you just sort of you go
S1: into shut down mode, don't you?
S3: Yeah you do. Been there, been there myself on a
S3: few occasions.
S2: Well, what was the worst?
S3: I never did much wrong. Oh my worst. Not bad stuff.
S2: My worst one was this one that affected me most.
S3: I'm a bad, bad stuff anyway.
S1: Hang on. What did you. Come on. You got to
S1: tell us.
S3: What? Look, I got into fights at nightclubs with bikies.
S2: Yeah, same.
S3: Nothing bad.
S1: But out of all the people that fight, why bikies?
S3: Long story.
S1: Okay.
S3: Long story. I was actually sticking up for Benji Marshall.
S1: Oh.
S3: Yeah.
S2: Won't be the first. Won't be.
S3: The last. Tony. Peyton. I'm trying to think who else
S3: was there. There's a few other Tigers boys.
S2: Were there Hells Angels or nomads?
S1: Oh, was that the one where they shot the door?
S3: No no no no no no, it was all fine
S3: because I got invited out with him the next night.
S1: But the biggie.
S3: Yeah.
S2: Yeah. Did you? In the nightclub in the cross?
S3: Uh, it was in Bondi Junction, mate. This was. This
S3: was 20.
S2: Who are you?
S3: This was 20.
S1: You wouldn't. You wouldn't believe it. He looked at the
S1: bike and he went. Oh.
S3: Long story long.
S1: Alright. So did you nominate a couple of good games?
S2: Couple?
S3: No, we didn't sort of even get even. I wanted
S3: to know.
S2: It's kind of. I think the best thing about doing
S2: these podcasts right is you've got a topic and wherever
S2: that topic takes you. Yeah. And how we ended up
S2: like with bikies at Bondi. Yeah, that's, that's what I
S2: love watching. That's what I listen to. If I sit,
S2: you know, and we don't know what you're gonna ask
S2: us until you asked us. And you got to quickly
S2: think about the times you've been man of the match
S2: in the game. And it's, it's so hard. It's yeah.
S2: But then all of a sudden that triggers something and
S2: you go, wow. And then he feeds off it and
S2: I'm going, fucking. Who are you? Who are you? Mark
S2: Rydell like I'm the I'm the crazy one on this panel.
S2: I think he's I think he's even crazier. Like, deep down.
S1: I think there might be a new podcast in this
S1: for piggy, the crime files. No no no.
S3: I'm a clean skin.
S1: Today we introduce you to the sergeant at arms of
S1: the Comancheros.
S2: So the worst you say about hiding, right? I 1991,
S2: after the grand final that I. I tested pre-season training.
S2: I tested positive for marijuana. Mhm. And they only just
S2: brought in testing for marijuana and um, I, Gus Gould
S2: was at training. He said the testers, he I said
S2: he said, have you had any. I said, yeah, I have.
S2: On the weekend. So I jogged back to the training
S2: and the testers met me there. So they were after me. Yeah.
S2: So about six weeks later, I got a call from
S2: Buzz Rothfield and he goes, mate, we've heard it's you
S2: who's tested positive. He said, But I'm not going to
S2: write anything. And then Roy Masters didn't ring me. But
S2: in the Herald on the. About the sixth week on
S2: the front page of the Herald was where there's smoke,
S2: there's guy.
S3: Did you tip your hat to the headline?
S2: Not the time.
S3: Not at the time. You fucker. Yeah, but now.
S2: I'm trying.
S3: To.
S2: I'm taking the phone out of the wall so no
S2: one can. I was at mum's house hiding. My leg
S2: was in a cast because I had my ankle reconstruction.
S3: Oh, no.
S2: So when buzz rang me, I went, oh, because he got.
S2: He phoned me at my mum's house. Where did you
S2: get this number? He goes, I found it. And then
S2: he said, no, we're not going to do it. He said,
S2: you know, um. I said, damn mate. Mum and dad,
S2: you know. Fucking rock him. Yeah. And then we go
S2: to the paper shop and I'd say mum um I'll
S2: go in. She goes wouldn't you. Crutches. I said yeah
S2: and I'll just make sure it wasn't in the papers.
S2: If it was I was going to buy every one.
S2: And then yeah, one day she was taking me up
S2: to the, the doctor's um to get my leg looked at.
S2: And in the waiting room was the paper.
S3: And you're on the front page.
S2: I was on the front page where there's smoke, there's fire.
S1: What was the reaction?
S2: Not good. Mhm. Not Mark. what are you doing? I
S2: said I was only a fleeting moment, but that was
S2: back then. Like, that's 1991. Yeah, that's 35 years ago.
S3: Like bloody.
S2: Hell. And now there's that that stomach thing. You get
S2: that you don't want to get too often in your life. Yeah,
S2: I got that probably 6 or 7 times in that
S2: six months.
S3: Oh, right.
S2: Yeah. You know, it was just a bad time for me.
S3: Yeah.
S2: All right. Yeah.
S1: Jeez. We've got deep today.
S2: Yeah, well, it's not deep. It's just. It's just. Piggy
S2: said something about hiding from the media, and I went, ah.
S2: That straight away triggered my memory of when I hid
S2: from the media on that time that mum and dad's house.
S1: Because it's it's funny, um, I heard a rumour about piggy,
S1: you know, the last last week's podcast.
S3: Here we go.
S1: I heard a rumour about piggy that, um, let's just
S1: say South threw everything at him to try and get
S1: him over the line at South Sydney.
S3: Is it true? Well, I can I can talk about that. Yeah.
S3: Can you. Yeah. Well, not all of it. Who, who much.
S2: Who was trying to get Langer's.
S3: Langer's was the coach at the time and I was
S3: off contract and I was talking to a number of clubs,
S3: and Souths happened to be one of those.
S2: Did you go out for dinner with them or something?
S3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, obviously you just, um, got to
S3: meet the coach and the, uh, fans and, uh, you
S3: go out and.
S2: You get a manicure or pedicure.
S3: Fortunately, yeah, all of the above. And unfortunately, Langer's got sacked.
S2: Oh, he did too. He did too.
S3: Yeah.
S2: And so he actually we're going to try and play
S2: with Souths in what potentially. Yeah.
S3: 2000 2004.
S2: Okay.
S3: Yeah. Yeah.
S1: The deal fell through and so did the belt in
S1: his pants.
S3: Excuse me. That was we had a big feed that night. Yeah.
S3: Belt buckle was a bit. How you going? But anyway,
S3: we won't go into that, but, uh. Yeah.
S1: How close were you to signing to South?
S2: Oh. Very close.
S3: I was very close. Very close. That would have. I might.
S1: Imagine if you did, that would have been huge news
S1: if you saw him.
S3: Back then. But I ended up signing a Parramatta, right? Okay,
S3: so that was the time I was talking to Cronulla.
S1: Parramatta must have offered a good deal.
S3: I was talking to Souths, I was talking to Parramatta.
S2: Who's that on your phone?
S1: And you wouldn't believe it. You're talking about me.
S2: That's a podcast, mate.
S3: Are they sending tips?
S1: So any good games quickly mate.
S3: Good game. Like MJ says, like those games where you go, oh,
S3: like I absolutely nailed everything. I reckon only a few.
S2: How many times do you reckon you got um three
S2: points in Dally M?
S3: Oh I don't know. I wouldn't have a clue, but
S3: I've got two games for me that I can sort
S3: of go, oh okay. I really nailed it that day.
S3: There's an Anzac Day game we played obviously played Roosters
S3: in oh three I think it was. I scored a try,
S3: set up a try, kicked a 4020 and blew the
S3: Roosters away 18 nil in the first 20 minutes of
S3: the game.
S2: That's why the Rabbitohs wanted you next year.
S3: Yeah, and that's one I remember. So I sort of
S3: go okay. Like I remember that I really nailed it
S3: that day. And then that game where I kicked the goal.
S1: Oh. Suncorp.
S3: Suncorp Stadium against the Broncos. Everyone was out. I scored
S3: two tries, kicked five goals and then kicked that goal
S3: at the end. So sort of that game I go,
S3: oh yeah, well, I was pretty good that day. Like
S3: I nailed it you know. But there's not many. There's
S3: not many.
S2: How these bastards do it every week.
S1: Yeah.
S3: Yeah. I'm not the, uh, Cameron Smith or Johnathan Thurston
S3: every week.
S1: The other question I've got here in front of me,
S1: what was the absolute worst or most ridiculous nutrition advice
S1: or supplement a club forced you to take?
S2: Uh, see what kind of pre pre supplements the the
S2: stuff's come in like Masashi that come in like towards
S2: the end of my career. But before then it wasn't much.
S2: We someone said to us that a vitamin B injection
S2: would help you out. Yeah. But after a game like
S2: the recovery after a game.
S3: So I used to get one every now and then.
S2: So we got every game. We'd get one before a game. Yeah.
S2: So that would help you recover was the.
S3: Right.
S2: The motive behind it.
S3: Right.
S1: Mate, I've got one for you. MM. I reckon the
S1: worst and most ridiculous nutrition advice was to suck on
S1: the sponge.
S2: Oh, that was the magic.
S3: What they did.
S2: We all did that. But yeah.
S1: Could you imagine, like in the current day, if someone
S1: ran out and said, suck on this?
S2: No, I wasn't, I didn't never done that in first
S2: grade or 23 or reserve grade. It was all junior footy. Yeah.
S2: Like the sponge would suck on the sponge. You can't.
S2: I think Neil Pringle, um Bing was the bloke who
S2: got crook from it in like the late 70s or
S2: early 80s. So they stopped doing it, obviously. Yeah.
S3: But I remember the dads had the bucket with the sponge.
S2: The same when they rub your fucking knees off of
S2: having dirt on it.
S3: Yeah. And then wipe you in the face when you get.
S1: Toughened you.
S3: Up, knock you back out. Yeah.
S2: There's some, there's some truth to that because the bit
S2: of dirt on you. And as long as you can't
S2: die from it.
S1: Mate. I used to sit in the sandpit at play
S1: school and, you know, kids had dropped a log in
S1: the sandpit and everything else, mate. No germaphobes back then
S1: I wouldn't eat it. But you know.
S2: What?
S1: I might talk to your mum and dad. It happened
S1: to preschool.
S3: He's sitting in. And who remembers that?
S2: Obviously, you didn't see.
S3: That last week.
S2: And that was selling papers.
S1: Righto. Move on. Piggy. Most ridiculous. Oh, this would be
S1: good from pig.
S3: Well, look, obviously nutrition wasn't my forte. No, I'll put
S3: my hand up.
S2: Look, what about when they first started bringing in? Um,
S2: what do they call the dieticians and stuff? They did
S2: the skin check, mate.
S3: Did I tell you? What about those ones? They'd get
S3: the calipers, you know, they got for me barbecue tongs.
S3: The bastards, they used to get the calipers and they go, oh, yeah,
S3: that's this measurement that won me the big barbecue.
S1: Come here, big boy.
S3: Give me some of that. Oh my God.
S1: There's your clip for social media, ladies and gentlemen.
S3: Oh my goodness.
S1: All right. Let's get into that. Let's get into the questions. Adam.
S1: Teams relying too heavily on structured block plays instead of
S1: playing what's in front of them.
S3: Adam oh, this is a football question.
S2: Yes yes yes yes. Bring back offloading in the especially
S2: in the especially in the the opposing 20 we're seeing
S2: a lot of left and right. And then it happened
S2: to us in origin in game two in Melbourne where
S2: we went one way, then come back the other. And
S2: that was evident because I was on the ground watching
S2: it from your vantage point. And you can see so
S2: much down there. Where was I RSVP?
S3: Be come back two weeks later.
S2: And say it's real.
S3: Jesus is real. It it knocks you.
S2: But I think so.
S3: You're right. Are we good or what? And I will
S3: just carry the show.
S2: Oh.
S1: Mhm. Just got a tip for a story. Anyway, I'll
S1: chase that tomorrow.
S3: Yes. Have you got an exclusive?
S1: No, not for this. You can't go off without. Can't
S1: go off without getting it.
S2: Substantial. Substantial.
S3: Right.
S2: Okay. But, um. Yes. That's a. And piggy would know
S2: more because he's more connected to a rugby league team
S2: at the moment, albeit the girls team. But I suppose
S2: the coach's main problem is to try and get that
S2: spontaneity in their game, but also by playing measured tactics
S2: as well. Because every if you're if they're doing it
S2: to you, you might as well do it back to
S2: them because it works. Yeah. You know, they're not doing
S2: it because it doesn't work.
S3: No. That's right. Yeah. Look, I to to answer the question,
S3: like there's plenty of that these days isn't there. But
S3: there's a right place and right time and there's a
S3: right place and right time for exactly what you're saying
S3: as well. You can find a good offload out the
S3: back because what's that that that does these days is
S3: pulls teams out of their defensive structures and their defensive systems.
S3: And all of a sudden everything they've trained for, well,
S3: it's different. It's gone. And it's a different look that
S3: the defence gets.
S2: We've seen some great some fantastic like.
S3: Obviously six again. Yeah it's coming to that you know
S3: ad lib football a little bit more. But now we're
S3: not seeing any many six agains Tim are we like no.
S2: That's that's so good.
S1: That I'm going to answer this question for you from Tim.
S1: Should rugby league introduce a captain's challenge specifically for forward passes?
S1: No no no no.
S2: No no.
S1: No. Could you imagine.
S2: It'd be every second.
S1: Yeah. Sorry, Tim, but no.
S2: But I still don't know why soccer can do a
S2: VAR with that line. Why? We can't just say quickly
S2: your line.
S1: But. But I'll tell. Can I answer this? I'll tell
S1: you why. Well, this is what. We can't go down
S1: this path because the rule is the ball is to
S1: leave the hands going backwards. Right. It's not a matter
S1: of whether the ball has been thrown forward.
S2: No, no, no.
S1: But if the ball leaves the hands going backwards and
S1: then floats forward, that's fine. So if you're just ruling
S1: a line, there's too many variables that it won't work.
S3: Okay. So why can't video referees rule on blatant forward passes?
S3: Because my answer would be that obviously it gets to
S3: a point where there's a gray area with passes. Yeah,
S3: but we still see them. When they go up in
S3: the bunker. They say we're going to stick with the
S3: on field Decision because we can't get an angle or whatever.
S3: So why couldn't they do. Exactly the same thing. If
S3: there's a blatant forward pass, they can say, hey. Let's
S3: pull this try up, Mark guy's throwing a blatant forward pass.
S3: You can see it coming. And everyone can see it. Yeah,
S3: no dramas, but if there's a close one and people
S3: are going, oh. Why didn't they call it? They go, well, look,
S3: with the camera angles available and with everything that's going on,
S3: we can't make a decision. So we're going to go
S3: with the referee.
S1: Because there's no common sense.
S2: So wouldn't you have it just in try scoring opportunities. Agreed.
S2: So if if I can if they can tell in
S2: the video in the bunker that I've gone a millimetre
S2: over past the kicker in my chase, that makes me passive.
S2: I can't go in ten meters. Yep. Why can't they
S2: say that that pass was forward in a try scoring movement?
S1: We need to go back to what Wally Lewis said
S1: a number of years ago. Why are we trying to
S1: perfect a game that's not perfect?
S3: Yeah, I know.
S1: That's the best thing I've heard.
S2: But we are improving the game and and with so
S2: many cameras and so much scrutiny under the game.
S1: But do we want we don't want everything right.
S2: But we don't see a game like Stephen Crichton when
S2: the referee. That could have been a grand final. Yeah,
S2: that could have been a grand final. And critter got
S2: away with that.
S1: Yeah, but how many games have grand finals have we
S1: seen with like, sport is built on controversy.
S2: The biggest was.
S1: We'd have nothing to talk.
S2: About. Storm over Dragons in 99. Yeah, that was massive
S2: penalty try.
S1: You didn't think it was penalty try.
S2: Yeah of course it was.
S3: Yeah it was.
S2: Yeah. Ainscough and Smith. Yep.
S3: Craig Smith. Yep.
S1: Try try try. Who was the video ref.
S2: Might have been.
S1: Bill Harrigan set it up to.
S2: Was it Martin Weeks.
S1: No no. Anyway look it up Tim Mander. Jill. What
S1: is the funniest or most bizarre on field moment you
S1: can remember?
S3: Oh.
S1: You know, the most the the weirdest, the most bizarre one.
S1: Remember at Penrith when the black Cat ran on?
S2: Yep.
S3: I remember that.
S1: That was a bit weird mate.
S3: I had remember the guy, the pest. Yep. That used
S3: to run on and cause all drama. He ran on
S3: in a game in Newcastle.
S2: I was wanting to have rats around his neck.
S3: He had all cats and everything in his pockets and everything.
S3: He ran on the field one night. I still remember
S3: that up up there in Newcastle.
S1: Oh, did you get a champion? Nice to see.
S3: You know, I think we all just stood there and
S3: were like, what the what the fuck's going on here?
S3: What the fuck's this doing here?
S1: Actually, there's there's another one. Remember the remember the big
S1: fat dude that ran onto the in the origin.
S2: Uh.
S1: Yeah.
S3: Uh, Moody.
S1: Like I'm a, I'm a big I'm a big bloke.
S2: With with joggers on.
S1: I'm a big bloke. I wouldn't have done that.
S2: Well, you've got.
S1: What do you achieve out of doing that?
S3: Not with the size of his sword.
S2: No.
S1: If you didn't have.
S2: A if you had the binoculars on it.
S1: Not working with much.
S2: If he was John Holmes, you'd get on there and go.
S2: Come and catch me, mate. It was in slow motion.
S1: It was origins. It would have been the middle of winter.
S3: Yeah. That's right. It was.
S2: It was. Yeah. That's um but being a second row,
S2: um over all my life, always the front row would
S2: one of them like every 6 or 7 months would have,
S2: you know, shat their pants. You could see stains on
S2: their white because we were, we were chocolate soldiers. So we,
S2: we had white shorts.
S1: You prepared to name names?
S2: No.
S3: Come on.
S2: Well, look who I played. Who was in front.
S3: In the front row with you? Yeah. Big man.
S2: Big man was 87 grand. Seven grand.
S3: For you. That's right. He doesn't make. The big man
S3: shit his pants.

S1: to transition into an elite head coach in ten years,
