We love a Monday because these two 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.560 share stories and answer your questions. Hello m g. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.080 Hello, Mark lovey and hello Piglet m g Levi. Great 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:22.560 to be here. 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.720 Nice to see you boys. Another big weekend of footy 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:26.239 and another pause. 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.920 No I didn't did I? Hello boys. Great to be here. 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:32.920 Could have driven a truck through that gap. 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:33.760 Oh, I love it. 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.560 I want to float the topic boys. Float the topic 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.640 and you guys can give us something. Okay, so last 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.080 week and they were very popular according to the, um, 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.040 analytics of podcasting, whatever that means. Um, last week I 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.479 asked you about your worst ever game this week. You 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.840 wouldn't believe it. We've been up thinking about the topic 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:54.320 all night, the greatest game you played. And how often 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.000 did those games happen in your rugby league career? Gentlemen, 0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:59.240 story time go. 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.970 Well, firstly, not often. Not often at all. Oh, turn 0:01:01.970 --> 0:01:03.730 it up. No, the ten out of ten games or 0:01:03.730 --> 0:01:05.730 nine out of ten games. Maybe 4 or 5 in 0:01:05.730 --> 0:01:08.930 my career. Yeah. Really? Yeah, yeah. Um, a lot of 0:01:08.930 --> 0:01:11.850 nine out of ten, but not ten out of ten. Yeah. Okay. Um, 0:01:12.330 --> 0:01:16.170 I'm going back to the late 80s. So I do 0:01:16.170 --> 0:01:16.690 say so myself. 0:01:16.730 --> 0:01:17.290 So humble. 0:01:17.450 --> 0:01:19.929 I was going to say before I was about seven 0:01:19.930 --> 0:01:22.929 out of ten. Sometimes I got an eight. All right. No, 0:01:23.290 --> 0:01:25.290 we're not on the same. That's not a level playing. 0:01:26.050 --> 0:01:26.610 Eight and a half. 0:01:26.650 --> 0:01:30.890 Okay. Thanks. There was a time between maybe 80, 88 0:01:30.890 --> 0:01:32.850 and 91 where I was kind of at the peak 0:01:32.850 --> 0:01:35.890 of my powers. Oh, yeah. And I came back from 0:01:35.930 --> 0:01:41.090 in 1989, I came back from England, um, because I 0:01:41.130 --> 0:01:44.450 got suspended in the last game of 80, 88. And 0:01:44.450 --> 0:01:45.810 it was back then when they had like a bit 0:01:45.810 --> 0:01:48.650 of a, a dodgy setup where you go over there 0:01:48.650 --> 0:01:51.250 and play. I got suspended for six weeks and you 0:01:51.250 --> 0:01:52.890 could get claim the game. It was the last game. 0:01:52.890 --> 0:01:54.450 So I had to go over there, sit out six 0:01:54.450 --> 0:01:59.530 weeks at Sheffield Eagles. Then I had to play six games. Right. 0:01:59.570 --> 0:02:01.690 So I was there for 12 weeks, three months. But 0:02:01.690 --> 0:02:04.170 I come back and my suspension was abolished. So my 0:02:04.170 --> 0:02:05.370 first game of the year, I'd come back. 0:02:05.370 --> 0:02:06.130 And you were ready to go. 0:02:06.170 --> 0:02:08.370 Ready to go. It was against the bears at Penrith Park. 0:02:08.370 --> 0:02:12.770 And I'd come back, um, and just went berserk just, 0:02:12.810 --> 0:02:15.370 you know, went out the line shoulder charging every forward 0:02:15.370 --> 0:02:18.930 they had and um, offloading at will. We went pretty 0:02:18.930 --> 0:02:22.010 easily about 26 nil. But that, that, that game was 0:02:22.330 --> 0:02:24.730 the first time I ever felt in first grade that 0:02:24.730 --> 0:02:27.250 I couldn't have played any better. I just wasn't peaking 0:02:27.250 --> 0:02:30.450 my powers. And yeah, I felt like I was, I 0:02:30.450 --> 0:02:34.130 was 21. I had my 21st in England playing for 0:02:34.130 --> 0:02:37.850 Sheffield and I made over there. So, um, and then 0:02:38.450 --> 0:02:40.850 you search for that, that same type of feeling because 0:02:40.850 --> 0:02:42.650 you go, if I can do that now, what can 0:02:42.650 --> 0:02:44.370 I do in every game? But it just doesn't work 0:02:44.370 --> 0:02:46.490 that way because the stars have got to be aligned. 0:02:46.530 --> 0:02:48.330 Did you ever come off the park thinking that's a 0:02:48.330 --> 0:02:50.050 ten out of ten? And then the coach got India? 0:02:50.930 --> 0:02:53.850 Yeah, yeah, a lot of games. I see my dad 0:02:53.850 --> 0:02:57.850 was my biggest barometer that my dad's probably the biggest critic. 0:02:57.850 --> 0:02:59.820 I've got my I come off the field and go. 0:02:59.860 --> 0:03:02.220 If I had a good, good, bad or ugly game, 0:03:02.220 --> 0:03:04.500 I would go. Oh, babe, you're so good. And I'd say, yeah, 0:03:04.500 --> 0:03:06.140 but you're biased. And then dad wouldn't talk to me 0:03:06.139 --> 0:03:07.900 if I. Yeah, he just. 0:03:08.100 --> 0:03:11.580 When you're playing NRL. Yep. Really? Even to that level. 0:03:11.580 --> 0:03:13.019 I'd go, so where's dad? He goes, oh, I didn't 0:03:13.020 --> 0:03:13.899 think you played it, mate. 0:03:13.940 --> 0:03:17.540 It's it's funny you say. Yeah. We fuck my dad 0:03:17.540 --> 0:03:21.299 was the same similar. Yeah. I, I can remember this 0:03:21.300 --> 0:03:23.060 is I don't want to jump in here and steal 0:03:23.060 --> 0:03:27.100 your story, but no. Um, I played my, my NRL 0:03:27.100 --> 0:03:30.100 playing career and my dad would give me the Russell 0:03:30.100 --> 0:03:32.540 Crowe thumb up or thumb down. 0:03:32.580 --> 0:03:33.540 Oh stop it. 0:03:34.100 --> 0:03:34.740 No way. 0:03:34.980 --> 0:03:35.940 Swear to God. 0:03:36.020 --> 0:03:36.940 When you come off. 0:03:37.100 --> 0:03:37.780 At half time. 0:03:37.780 --> 0:03:38.380 Where do you stand. 0:03:38.420 --> 0:03:39.260 When you're walking off the field? 0:03:39.300 --> 0:03:41.300 Yeah. When I was walking off the field like you, you, 0:03:41.340 --> 0:03:43.300 you know, you know, your family's in the crowd. You look, 0:03:43.340 --> 0:03:45.700 you know where they are. I'd look and he'd be like, 0:03:45.740 --> 0:03:48.860 you know, great work. Or he'd be like, come on, mate. 0:03:49.140 --> 0:03:52.780 And I'd be like, yeah, well, at the end of 0:03:52.780 --> 0:03:54.020 the day, when you're a kid, who do you want 0:03:54.020 --> 0:03:55.380 to impress your. 0:03:55.380 --> 0:03:56.300 Mum and dad? Yeah, they're. 0:03:56.300 --> 0:03:57.180 The ones, you know. 0:03:57.300 --> 0:03:58.220 Yeah, they're the ones. 0:03:58.260 --> 0:04:01.310 But that same thing. Silent treatment. I like it. I 0:04:01.350 --> 0:04:03.870 bring it up today because obviously I've got boys now. 0:04:03.910 --> 0:04:05.990 My mum and dad are at every game and my boys, 0:04:05.990 --> 0:04:08.150 they're always watching, you know, like they did for our 0:04:08.390 --> 0:04:09.230 our career. Me and my. 0:04:09.230 --> 0:04:10.790 Brother. Did they go to a young bloke that. 0:04:10.790 --> 0:04:13.830 No, no, no, none of that now is it when 0:04:13.870 --> 0:04:14.630 your grandparents. 0:04:14.750 --> 0:04:14.870 Your. 0:04:14.870 --> 0:04:19.789 Grandparents. Oh they played great. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. And 0:04:19.790 --> 0:04:23.030 then they're like, if I'm hard on my boys, they're like, oh, 0:04:23.070 --> 0:04:25.830 don't be like that. You know, they play good. I'm like, ah, 0:04:26.150 --> 0:04:30.430 excuse me. Sandy al you're not. Do you remember driving 0:04:30.430 --> 0:04:32.750 in the car after games and not even talking to me? 0:04:32.790 --> 0:04:33.310 Oh, man. 0:04:33.990 --> 0:04:35.310 This is your six year old son. 0:04:35.350 --> 0:04:35.990 But even like. 0:04:36.510 --> 0:04:37.910 Your seven year old son. 0:04:38.510 --> 0:04:38.990 That was me. 0:04:39.029 --> 0:04:40.870 Just played local league. That was me. 0:04:41.070 --> 0:04:43.190 Yeah, that was me. So that must have all been 0:04:43.190 --> 0:04:45.270 the same back then. They were because my dad, like 0:04:45.550 --> 0:04:48.150 I'd come home from games in the back crying for like, 0:04:48.150 --> 0:04:50.670 if I played for North Mount Druitt or someone, I'd say, dad, 0:04:51.029 --> 0:04:52.310 how do you think I go? He goes, he wouldn't 0:04:52.310 --> 0:04:52.870 say anything. 0:04:53.310 --> 0:04:56.349 Just wouldn't talk. But that would probably upset you more 0:04:56.390 --> 0:04:57.910 that he didn't say anything. True. Yeah. 0:04:57.950 --> 0:05:01.349 Of course. Mum was. Mum was Kevin. It's a bloody 0:05:01.350 --> 0:05:02.430 game of rugby league. 0:05:05.190 --> 0:05:07.670 But you know what. You appreciate it now, I reckon. 0:05:07.710 --> 0:05:09.229 Well maybe the player I was. 0:05:09.270 --> 0:05:09.750 Yeah. 0:05:09.830 --> 0:05:12.270 Maybe if he's got this all the time to me. Yeah. 0:05:12.310 --> 0:05:14.670 And I wasn't I wasn't like mum was. That's that's 0:05:14.670 --> 0:05:17.190 good cop bad cop like in 1990 in the kangaroo 0:05:17.190 --> 0:05:19.070 tour that was I was in beast mode on the 0:05:19.070 --> 0:05:20.910 kangaroo tour. You know, I missed out the first game 0:05:20.910 --> 0:05:24.950 against Wakefield. I had tonsillitis and then they unshackled me 0:05:25.350 --> 0:05:28.630 at the Cumbria and I just was just, you know, 0:05:28.910 --> 0:05:30.109 I thought I got man of the match in the 0:05:30.110 --> 0:05:33.710 91 origin game with Wally, because all this media came 0:05:33.710 --> 0:05:35.950 in towards me after the game. I'm thinking of my 0:05:35.950 --> 0:05:37.430 dad who's next to me. I said, I think I 0:05:37.430 --> 0:05:39.750 got me the match. He goes, I don't think so. 0:05:41.670 --> 0:05:42.070 Thank you. 0:05:42.589 --> 0:05:43.190 Thanks, dad. 0:05:44.029 --> 0:05:47.470 Next minute they all come towards me. The media camera, 0:05:47.510 --> 0:05:49.870 20 camera crews. I'm going, oh, I've got me in 0:05:49.870 --> 0:05:51.909 the match. I stand up and talk to Billy Woods, 0:05:51.910 --> 0:05:54.430 who was with channel ten on the telecast. On the sideline. 0:05:54.710 --> 0:05:56.390 He goes, Mark, how's it feel to be sited on 0:05:56.390 --> 0:06:05.880 six different occasions. Oh, man. The match. Yes, my Queensland jail. 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:12.560 But yeah, there's, um. There's something in that that you 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.080 aspire to, to always get that feeling of being so 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.320 dominant in a game of rugby league. But you know what? 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.520 Now I look back on my career and you know, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.320 probably at the time that it's going to be so 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.880 hard to do what you did again or that that well, 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.599 you can be close to it. Um, but like I 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.760 look back at my career and there's probably, yeah, not 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.880 even five occasions where I was at my, the peak 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.719 of my powers and no one could tackle me and 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:36.800 no one would run at me. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.440 Just on the, um, Wally thing. Right. I've always wanted 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.120 to know this. Right. And I reckon the viewers and 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.719 the listeners would too. So you mentioned the cameras come 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.000 in and you think you've won man of the match, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.440 and you're standing there with your dad. When the cameras disappear, 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.840 you have a shower, you get changed and you're leaving 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.320 the ground, and then you're at the airport and you're 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:53.400 flying home the next day. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:54.400 Is that Sydney footy stadium? 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:55.159 It was. Of course it. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.450 Was. So what happened was they did a hastily convened 0:06:58.490 --> 0:07:01.770 judiciary hearing the next day, right at the. So this 0:07:01.770 --> 0:07:01.969 was the. 0:07:01.970 --> 0:07:04.529 Third everywhere you went. Were you just. Were people staring 0:07:04.529 --> 0:07:06.250 at you? Were people coming to have a go at 0:07:06.250 --> 0:07:06.650 you or. 0:07:06.690 --> 0:07:08.529 Oh, no, no, not here. They all pat me on 0:07:08.529 --> 0:07:08.770 the back. 0:07:08.810 --> 0:07:09.250 They loved him. 0:07:09.290 --> 0:07:10.050 Yeah yeah. 0:07:10.530 --> 0:07:10.809 Yeah. 0:07:10.850 --> 0:07:14.850 You crazy fucker. Because I was told to do the 0:07:14.850 --> 0:07:17.330 job like I was. I was, you know, 21. I 0:07:17.330 --> 0:07:19.450 was told to go out there and run amok. 21 0:07:19.490 --> 0:07:21.650 and not many people, not many people can get told 0:07:21.650 --> 0:07:23.730 at that age to go and run amuck against Queensland. 0:07:23.770 --> 0:07:26.370 And hold on 21 and be playing for New South 0:07:26.370 --> 0:07:28.650 Wales to begin with. That's unbelievable. 0:07:28.730 --> 0:07:30.490 Like while he was there talking about me while he 0:07:30.490 --> 0:07:33.650 was ten years old, he was 31. Yeah, like he 0:07:33.650 --> 0:07:34.890 was at the end of his career. I was the 0:07:34.890 --> 0:07:38.170 start of mine. So yeah, if two well known selectors 0:07:38.170 --> 0:07:39.730 are telling me to run out there and do what 0:07:39.730 --> 0:07:40.770 I tried. 0:07:40.770 --> 0:07:41.010 To do. 0:07:41.410 --> 0:07:43.210 In the first game, guess what? I'm going to do 0:07:43.450 --> 0:07:45.170 whatever they tell me to do 100%. Yeah. And I 0:07:45.170 --> 0:07:45.930 do it all again. 0:07:46.090 --> 0:07:47.650 It's just it's a side of the game that I 0:07:47.650 --> 0:07:50.650 don't think people appreciate that we see the 80 minutes 0:07:50.650 --> 0:07:52.610 on TV, and then you might see a clip in 0:07:52.610 --> 0:07:55.090 the press conference. But what happens in the days after 0:07:55.090 --> 0:07:57.820 that when there's a scandal? What happens in behind closed doors? 0:07:57.860 --> 0:08:00.420 What happens at home? You hide like the the Sydney 0:08:00.460 --> 0:08:02.700 Swans scandal and we won't go into it. But the 0:08:02.700 --> 0:08:05.100 players that are allegedly involved in that jumped in a 0:08:05.100 --> 0:08:07.180 car and drove back to Sydney to avoid the scrutiny 0:08:07.220 --> 0:08:09.460 at the airport. Yeah, you just sort of you go 0:08:09.460 --> 0:08:10.940 into shut down mode, don't you? 0:08:11.140 --> 0:08:14.380 Yeah you do. Been there, been there myself on a 0:08:14.380 --> 0:08:15.580 few occasions. 0:08:15.620 --> 0:08:16.700 Well, what was the worst? 0:08:16.940 --> 0:08:20.180 I never did much wrong. Oh my worst. Not bad stuff. 0:08:20.220 --> 0:08:22.340 My worst one was this one that affected me most. 0:08:22.380 --> 0:08:24.220 I'm a bad, bad stuff anyway. 0:08:24.380 --> 0:08:25.700 Hang on. What did you. Come on. You got to 0:08:25.700 --> 0:08:25.940 tell us. 0:08:25.980 --> 0:08:29.940 What? Look, I got into fights at nightclubs with bikies. 0:08:29.980 --> 0:08:30.620 Yeah, same. 0:08:31.140 --> 0:08:31.580 Nothing bad. 0:08:31.740 --> 0:08:33.540 But out of all the people that fight, why bikies? 0:08:33.900 --> 0:08:34.540 Long story. 0:08:34.580 --> 0:08:34.780 Okay. 0:08:35.420 --> 0:08:38.380 Long story. I was actually sticking up for Benji Marshall. 0:08:38.420 --> 0:08:38.620 Oh. 0:08:38.980 --> 0:08:39.420 Yeah. 0:08:40.580 --> 0:08:42.100 Won't be the first. Won't be. 0:08:42.100 --> 0:08:44.420 The last. Tony. Peyton. I'm trying to think who else 0:08:44.420 --> 0:08:46.060 was there. There's a few other Tigers boys. 0:08:46.100 --> 0:08:47.460 Were there Hells Angels or nomads? 0:08:47.500 --> 0:08:49.620 Oh, was that the one where they shot the door? 0:08:50.059 --> 0:08:53.260 No no no no no no, it was all fine 0:08:53.260 --> 0:08:55.540 because I got invited out with him the next night. 0:08:55.900 --> 0:08:56.540 But the biggie. 0:08:56.580 --> 0:08:56.900 Yeah. 0:08:56.940 --> 0:08:59.179 Yeah. Did you? In the nightclub in the cross? 0:08:59.500 --> 0:09:03.140 Uh, it was in Bondi Junction, mate. This was. This 0:09:03.140 --> 0:09:03.980 was 20. 0:09:04.020 --> 0:09:04.780 Who are you? 0:09:04.940 --> 0:09:07.220 This was 20. 0:09:08.620 --> 0:09:10.180 You wouldn't. You wouldn't believe it. He looked at the 0:09:10.179 --> 0:09:17.700 bike and he went. Oh. 0:09:18.540 --> 0:09:19.540 Long story long. 0:09:19.580 --> 0:09:22.340 Alright. So did you nominate a couple of good games? 0:09:22.380 --> 0:09:22.780 Couple? 0:09:23.179 --> 0:09:25.420 No, we didn't sort of even get even. I wanted 0:09:25.420 --> 0:09:25.780 to know. 0:09:26.020 --> 0:09:28.260 It's kind of. I think the best thing about doing 0:09:28.260 --> 0:09:31.260 these podcasts right is you've got a topic and wherever 0:09:31.260 --> 0:09:33.500 that topic takes you. Yeah. And how we ended up 0:09:33.500 --> 0:09:36.420 like with bikies at Bondi. Yeah, that's, that's what I 0:09:36.420 --> 0:09:39.260 love watching. That's what I listen to. If I sit, 0:09:39.300 --> 0:09:41.420 you know, and we don't know what you're gonna ask 0:09:41.500 --> 0:09:43.699 us until you asked us. And you got to quickly 0:09:43.700 --> 0:09:45.459 think about the times you've been man of the match 0:09:45.460 --> 0:09:47.660 in the game. And it's, it's so hard. It's yeah. 0:09:47.700 --> 0:09:49.220 But then all of a sudden that triggers something and 0:09:49.220 --> 0:09:51.059 you go, wow. And then he feeds off it and 0:09:51.059 --> 0:09:55.310 I'm going, fucking. Who are you? Who are you? Mark 0:09:55.309 --> 0:09:58.189 Rydell like I'm the I'm the crazy one on this panel. 0:09:58.630 --> 0:10:01.190 I think he's I think he's even crazier. Like, deep down. 0:10:01.710 --> 0:10:03.350 I think there might be a new podcast in this 0:10:03.350 --> 0:10:05.950 for piggy, the crime files. No no no. 0:10:07.350 --> 0:10:08.630 I'm a clean skin. 0:10:08.710 --> 0:10:10.670 Today we introduce you to the sergeant at arms of 0:10:10.670 --> 0:10:11.750 the Comancheros. 0:10:12.190 --> 0:10:16.430 So the worst you say about hiding, right? I 1991, 0:10:16.429 --> 0:10:19.750 after the grand final that I. I tested pre-season training. 0:10:19.750 --> 0:10:23.270 I tested positive for marijuana. Mhm. And they only just 0:10:23.270 --> 0:10:27.270 brought in testing for marijuana and um, I, Gus Gould 0:10:27.270 --> 0:10:29.510 was at training. He said the testers, he I said 0:10:29.510 --> 0:10:31.390 he said, have you had any. I said, yeah, I have. 0:10:31.470 --> 0:10:35.030 On the weekend. So I jogged back to the training 0:10:35.030 --> 0:10:38.670 and the testers met me there. So they were after me. Yeah. 0:10:39.590 --> 0:10:41.750 So about six weeks later, I got a call from 0:10:41.750 --> 0:10:44.550 Buzz Rothfield and he goes, mate, we've heard it's you 0:10:44.590 --> 0:10:47.510 who's tested positive. He said, But I'm not going to 0:10:47.510 --> 0:10:52.150 write anything. And then Roy Masters didn't ring me. But 0:10:52.190 --> 0:10:54.800 in the Herald on the. About the sixth week on 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.040 the front page of the Herald was where there's smoke, 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:58.640 there's guy. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.600 Did you tip your hat to the headline? 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:03.280 Not the time. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.000 Not at the time. You fucker. Yeah, but now. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:07.040 I'm trying. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:07.240 To. 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.120 I'm taking the phone out of the wall so no 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.520 one can. I was at mum's house hiding.

Where did you 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.880 get this number? He goes, I found it. And then 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.320 he said, no, we're not going to do it. He said, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.199 you know, um. I said, damn mate. Mum and dad, 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.959 you know. Fucking rock him. Yeah. And then we go 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.080 to the paper shop and I'd say mum um I'll 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.640 go in. She goes wouldn't you. Crutches. I said yeah 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.000 and I'll just make sure it wasn't in the papers. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.319 If it was I was going to buy every one. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.280 And then yeah, one day she was taking me up 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.560 to the, the doctor's um to get my leg looked at. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.960 And in the waiting room was the paper. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:48.360 And you're on the front page. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.560 I was on the front page where there's smoke, there's fire. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:51.640 What was the reaction? 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:56.200 Not good. Mhm. Not Mark. what are you doing? I 0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:00.199 said I was only a fleeting moment, but that was 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.040 back then. Like, that's 1991. Yeah, that's 35 years ago. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.040 Like bloody. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.040 Hell. And now there's that that stomach thing. You get 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.840 that you don't want to get too often in your life. Yeah, 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.200 I got that probably 6 or 7 times in that 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:14.880 six months. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:15.600 Oh, right. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.839 Yeah. You know, it was just a bad time for me. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:18.080 Yeah. 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:19.079 All right. Yeah. 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:20.560 Jeez. We've got deep today. 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.160 Yeah, well, it's not deep. It's just. It's just. Piggy 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.040 said something about hiding from the media, and I went, ah. 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.360 That straight away triggered my memory of when I hid 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.439 from the media on that time that mum and dad's house. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.720 Because it's it's funny, um, I heard a rumour about piggy, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.439 you know, the last last week's podcast. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:37.240 Here we go. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.880 I heard a rumour about piggy that, um, let's just 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.800 say South threw everything at him to try and get 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:43.920 him over the line at South Sydney. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.520 Is it true? Well, I can I can talk about that. Yeah. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.679 Can you. Yeah. Well, not all of it. Who, who much. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:50.920 Who was trying to get Langer's. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.290 Langer's was the coach at the time and I was 0:12:54.290 --> 0:12:57.370 off contract and I was talking to a number of clubs, 0:12:57.610 --> 0:12:59.610 and Souths happened to be one of those. 0:12:59.650 --> 0:13:00.890 Did you go out for dinner with them or something? 0:13:01.050 --> 0:13:04.450 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, obviously you just, um, got to 0:13:04.490 --> 0:13:10.809 meet the coach and the, uh, fans and, uh, you 0:13:10.809 --> 0:13:11.970 go out and. 0:13:12.610 --> 0:13:13.850 You get a manicure or pedicure. 0:13:13.929 --> 0:13:19.330 Fortunately, yeah, all of the above. And unfortunately, Langer's got sacked. 0:13:19.490 --> 0:13:21.170 Oh, he did too. He did too. 0:13:21.290 --> 0:13:21.809 Yeah. 0:13:22.050 --> 0:13:23.850 And so he actually we're going to try and play 0:13:23.850 --> 0:13:25.970 with Souths in what potentially. Yeah. 0:13:26.050 --> 0:13:27.810 2000 2004. 0:13:27.929 --> 0:13:28.370 Okay. 0:13:28.410 --> 0:13:29.530 Yeah. Yeah. 0:13:29.570 --> 0:13:31.050 The deal fell through and so did the belt in 0:13:31.050 --> 0:13:31.610 his pants. 0:13:32.690 --> 0:13:36.809 Excuse me. That was we had a big feed that night. Yeah. 0:13:37.090 --> 0:13:39.329 Belt buckle was a bit. How you going? But anyway, 0:13:39.850 --> 0:13:42.570 we won't go into that, but, uh. Yeah. 0:13:43.050 --> 0:13:44.610 How close were you to signing to South? 0:13:44.650 --> 0:13:45.530 Oh. Very close. 0:13:45.570 --> 0:13:50.850 I was very close. Very close. That would have. I might. 0:13:51.410 --> 0:13:53.220 Imagine if you did, that would have been huge news 0:13:53.220 --> 0:13:53.660 if you saw him. 0:13:53.780 --> 0:13:56.540 Back then. But I ended up signing a Parramatta, right? Okay, 0:13:56.580 --> 0:13:59.260 so that was the time I was talking to Cronulla. 0:13:59.620 --> 0:14:01.179 Parramatta must have offered a good deal. 0:14:01.220 --> 0:14:03.939 I was talking to Souths, I was talking to Parramatta. 0:14:04.460 --> 0:14:05.420 Who's that on your phone? 0:14:05.460 --> 0:14:08.940 And you wouldn't believe it. You're talking about me. 0:14:08.980 --> 0:14:09.939 That's a podcast, mate. 0:14:10.140 --> 0:14:11.420 Are they sending tips? 0:14:12.460 --> 0:14:14.460 So any good games quickly mate. 0:14:14.500 --> 0:14:18.180 Good game. Like MJ says, like those games where you go, oh, 0:14:18.380 --> 0:14:21.300 like I absolutely nailed everything. I reckon only a few. 0:14:21.340 --> 0:14:23.180 How many times do you reckon you got um three 0:14:23.180 --> 0:14:24.140 points in Dally M? 0:14:24.180 --> 0:14:26.500 Oh I don't know. I wouldn't have a clue, but 0:14:26.500 --> 0:14:28.500 I've got two games for me that I can sort 0:14:28.540 --> 0:14:31.540 of go, oh okay. I really nailed it that day. 0:14:31.980 --> 0:14:35.300 There's an Anzac Day game we played obviously played Roosters 0:14:35.300 --> 0:14:39.900 in oh three I think it was. I scored a try, 0:14:39.940 --> 0:14:44.220 set up a try, kicked a 4020 and blew the 0:14:44.220 --> 0:14:46.500 Roosters away 18 nil in the first 20 minutes of 0:14:46.500 --> 0:14:46.740 the game. 0:14:46.740 --> 0:14:48.620 That's why the Rabbitohs wanted you next year. 0:14:48.740 --> 0:14:51.780 Yeah, and that's one I remember. So I sort of 0:14:51.820 --> 0:14:53.820 go okay. Like I remember that I really nailed it 0:14:53.820 --> 0:14:56.540 that day. And then that game where I kicked the goal. 0:14:56.580 --> 0:14:57.220 Oh. Suncorp. 0:14:57.260 --> 0:15:00.460 Suncorp Stadium against the Broncos. Everyone was out. I scored 0:15:00.460 --> 0:15:03.420 two tries, kicked five goals and then kicked that goal 0:15:03.420 --> 0:15:05.660 at the end. So sort of that game I go, 0:15:05.660 --> 0:15:08.020 oh yeah, well, I was pretty good that day. Like 0:15:08.060 --> 0:15:10.900 I nailed it you know. But there's not many. There's 0:15:10.900 --> 0:15:11.220 not many. 0:15:11.260 --> 0:15:12.620 How these bastards do it every week. 0:15:12.780 --> 0:15:13.060 Yeah. 0:15:13.940 --> 0:15:16.980 Yeah. I'm not the, uh, Cameron Smith or Johnathan Thurston 0:15:16.980 --> 0:15:17.420 every week. 0:15:17.460 --> 0:15:19.100 The other question I've got here in front of me, 0:15:19.140 --> 0:15:22.420 what was the absolute worst or most ridiculous nutrition advice 0:15:22.580 --> 0:15:24.700 or supplement a club forced you to take? 0:15:24.740 --> 0:15:29.700 Uh, see what kind of pre pre supplements the the 0:15:29.740 --> 0:15:31.940 stuff's come in like Masashi that come in like towards 0:15:31.940 --> 0:15:34.740 the end of my career. But before then it wasn't much. 0:15:34.780 --> 0:15:38.780 We someone said to us that a vitamin B injection 0:15:38.780 --> 0:15:41.380 would help you out. Yeah. But after a game like 0:15:41.380 --> 0:15:42.260 the recovery after a game. 0:15:42.300 --> 0:15:43.700 So I used to get one every now and then. 0:15:43.700 --> 0:15:45.780 So we got every game. We'd get one before a game. Yeah. 0:15:45.820 --> 0:15:48.060 So that would help you recover was the. 0:15:48.300 --> 0:15:48.780 Right. 0:15:48.820 --> 0:15:50.980 The motive behind it. 0:15:51.020 --> 0:15:51.340 Right. 0:15:51.430 --> 0:15:53.550 Mate, I've got one for you. MM. I reckon the 0:15:53.550 --> 0:15:56.670 worst and most ridiculous nutrition advice was to suck on 0:15:56.670 --> 0:15:57.270 the sponge. 0:15:57.550 --> 0:15:58.910 Oh, that was the magic. 0:15:59.070 --> 0:15:59.510 What they did. 0:15:59.670 --> 0:16:00.790 We all did that. But yeah. 0:16:01.150 --> 0:16:03.270 Could you imagine, like in the current day, if someone 0:16:03.270 --> 0:16:04.350 ran out and said, suck on this? 0:16:04.510 --> 0:16:06.590 No, I wasn't, I didn't never done that in first 0:16:06.590 --> 0:16:10.630 grade or 23 or reserve grade. It was all junior footy. Yeah. 0:16:10.670 --> 0:16:15.790 Like the sponge would suck on the sponge. You can't. 0:16:15.870 --> 0:16:19.670 I think Neil Pringle, um Bing was the bloke who 0:16:19.670 --> 0:16:21.830 got crook from it in like the late 70s or 0:16:21.830 --> 0:16:23.950 early 80s. So they stopped doing it, obviously. Yeah. 0:16:23.950 --> 0:16:27.430 But I remember the dads had the bucket with the sponge. 0:16:27.750 --> 0:16:29.350 The same when they rub your fucking knees off of 0:16:29.350 --> 0:16:29.990 having dirt on it. 0:16:30.430 --> 0:16:32.190 Yeah. And then wipe you in the face when you get. 0:16:32.270 --> 0:16:32.790 Toughened you. 0:16:32.790 --> 0:16:33.830 Up, knock you back out. Yeah. 0:16:34.630 --> 0:16:37.950 There's some, there's some truth to that because the bit 0:16:37.950 --> 0:16:40.110 of dirt on you. And as long as you can't 0:16:40.110 --> 0:16:40.550 die from it. 0:16:40.590 --> 0:16:42.390 Mate. I used to sit in the sandpit at play 0:16:42.390 --> 0:16:44.270 school and, you know, kids had dropped a log in 0:16:44.270 --> 0:16:47.430 the sandpit and everything else, mate. No germaphobes back then 0:16:47.630 --> 0:16:49.670 I wouldn't eat it. But you know. 0:16:50.550 --> 0:16:50.790 What? 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.560 I might talk to your mum and dad. It happened 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:56.120 to preschool. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:00.400 He's sitting in. And who remembers that? 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.480 Obviously, you didn't see. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:03.480 That last week. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.480 And that was selling papers. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.000 Righto. Move on. Piggy. Most ridiculous. Oh, this would be 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:12.639 good from pig. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.679 Well, look, obviously nutrition wasn't my forte. No, I'll put 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:17.119 my hand up. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.240 Look, what about when they first started bringing in? Um, 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.159 what do they call the dieticians and stuff? They did 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.040 the skin check, mate. 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.240 Did I tell you? What about those ones? They'd get 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.800 the calipers, you know, they got for me barbecue tongs. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.400 The bastards, they used to get the calipers and they go, oh, yeah, 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.200 that's this measurement that won me the big barbecue. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:39.480 Come here, big boy. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:45.000 Give me some of that. Oh my God. 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.199 There's your clip for social media, ladies and gentlemen. 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:48.040 Oh my goodness. 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.320 All right. Let's get into that. Let's get into the questions. Adam. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.359 Teams relying too heavily on structured block plays instead of 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.840 playing what's in front of them. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:58.800 Adam oh, this is a football question. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:03.160 Yes yes yes yes. Bring back offloading in the especially 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.320 in the especially in the the opposing 20 we're seeing 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.160 a lot of left and right. And then it happened 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.040 to us in origin in game two in Melbourne where 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.040 we went one way, then come back the other. And 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:14.760 that was evident because I was on the ground watching 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.000 it from your vantage point. And you can see so 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.320 much down there. Where was I RSVP? 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.480 Be come back two weeks later. 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.040 And say it's real. 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.080 Jesus is real. It it knocks you. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:29.760 But I think so. 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.080 You're right. Are we good or what? And I will 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:33.840 just carry the show. 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:34.240 Oh. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.320 Mhm. Just got a tip for a story. Anyway, I'll 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:37.920 chase that tomorrow. 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.840 Yes. Have you got an exclusive? 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.840 No, not for this. You can't go off without. Can't 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.160 go off without getting it. 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.840 Substantial. Substantial. 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:46.280 Right. 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.280 Okay. But, um. Yes. That's a. And piggy would know 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.050 more because he's more connected to a rugby league team 0:18:51.050 --> 0:18:54.570 at the moment, albeit the girls team. But I suppose 0:18:54.570 --> 0:18:59.850 the coach's main problem is to try and get that 0:18:59.850 --> 0:19:04.330 spontaneity in their game, but also by playing measured tactics 0:19:04.330 --> 0:19:07.250 as well. Because every if you're if they're doing it 0:19:07.250 --> 0:19:08.489 to you, you might as well do it back to 0:19:08.490 --> 0:19:12.410 them because it works. Yeah. You know, they're not doing 0:19:12.410 --> 0:19:13.250 it because it doesn't work. 0:19:13.290 --> 0:19:16.530 No. That's right. Yeah. Look, I to to answer the question, 0:19:16.530 --> 0:19:19.290 like there's plenty of that these days isn't there. But 0:19:19.330 --> 0:19:20.929 there's a right place and right time and there's a 0:19:20.930 --> 0:19:23.410 right place and right time for exactly what you're saying 0:19:23.410 --> 0:19:25.570 as well. You can find a good offload out the 0:19:25.570 --> 0:19:27.810 back because what's that that that does these days is 0:19:27.850 --> 0:19:31.409 pulls teams out of their defensive structures and their defensive systems. 0:19:31.410 --> 0:19:33.730 And all of a sudden everything they've trained for, well, 0:19:33.730 --> 0:19:35.650 it's different. It's gone. And it's a different look that 0:19:35.650 --> 0:19:36.330 the defence gets. 0:19:36.330 --> 0:19:38.970 We've seen some great some fantastic like. 0:19:38.970 --> 0:19:41.930 Obviously six again. Yeah it's coming to that you know 0:19:42.130 --> 0:19:44.330 ad lib football a little bit more. But now we're 0:19:44.330 --> 0:19:47.570 not seeing any many six agains Tim are we like no. 0:19:48.090 --> 0:19:49.130 That's that's so good. 0:19:49.260 --> 0:19:51.899 That I'm going to answer this question for you from Tim. 0:19:52.220 --> 0:19:55.860 Should rugby league introduce a captain's challenge specifically for forward passes? 0:19:55.900 --> 0:19:58.220 No no no no. 0:19:58.300 --> 0:19:58.820 No no. 0:19:59.340 --> 0:20:00.260 No. Could you imagine. 0:20:00.300 --> 0:20:01.020 It'd be every second. 0:20:01.060 --> 0:20:02.100 Yeah. Sorry, Tim, but no. 0:20:02.140 --> 0:20:04.660 But I still don't know why soccer can do a 0:20:04.700 --> 0:20:07.780 VAR with that line. Why? We can't just say quickly 0:20:07.780 --> 0:20:08.340 your line. 0:20:08.340 --> 0:20:10.460 But. But I'll tell. Can I answer this? I'll tell 0:20:10.460 --> 0:20:13.420 you why. Well, this is what. We can't go down 0:20:13.420 --> 0:20:16.740 this path because the rule is the ball is to 0:20:16.780 --> 0:20:20.180 leave the hands going backwards. Right. It's not a matter 0:20:20.180 --> 0:20:22.420 of whether the ball has been thrown forward. 0:20:22.460 --> 0:20:22.820 No, no, no. 0:20:22.820 --> 0:20:24.780 But if the ball leaves the hands going backwards and 0:20:24.780 --> 0:20:28.340 then floats forward, that's fine. So if you're just ruling 0:20:28.340 --> 0:20:31.340 a line, there's too many variables that it won't work. 0:20:31.380 --> 0:20:37.219 Okay. So why can't video referees rule on blatant forward passes? 0:20:37.220 --> 0:20:41.139 Because my answer would be that obviously it gets to 0:20:41.140 --> 0:20:43.500 a point where there's a gray area with passes. Yeah, 0:20:43.540 --> 0:20:45.540 but we still see them. When they go up in 0:20:45.540 --> 0:20:47.219 the bunker. They say we're going to stick with the 0:20:47.220 --> 0:20:51.149 on field Decision because we can't get an angle or whatever. 0:20:51.150 --> 0:20:53.390 So why couldn't they do. Exactly the same thing. If 0:20:53.390 --> 0:20:55.629 there's a blatant forward pass, they can say, hey. Let's 0:20:55.630 --> 0:20:58.990 pull this try up, Mark guy's throwing a blatant forward pass. 0:20:58.990 --> 0:21:01.310 You can see it coming. And everyone can see it. Yeah, 0:21:01.350 --> 0:21:03.870 no dramas, but if there's a close one and people 0:21:03.869 --> 0:21:06.030 are going, oh. Why didn't they call it? They go, well, look, 0:21:06.310 --> 0:21:09.389 with the camera angles available and with everything that's going on, 0:21:09.430 --> 0:21:11.710 we can't make a decision. So we're going to go 0:21:11.750 --> 0:21:12.270 with the referee. 0:21:12.310 --> 0:21:13.470 Because there's no common sense. 0:21:13.470 --> 0:21:16.430 So wouldn't you have it just in try scoring opportunities. Agreed. 0:21:16.470 --> 0:21:19.230 So if if I can if they can tell in 0:21:19.230 --> 0:21:22.030 the video in the bunker that I've gone a millimetre 0:21:22.070 --> 0:21:25.070 over past the kicker in my chase, that makes me passive. 0:21:25.230 --> 0:21:27.429 I can't go in ten meters. Yep. Why can't they 0:21:27.470 --> 0:21:30.230 say that that pass was forward in a try scoring movement? 0:21:30.270 --> 0:21:32.109 We need to go back to what Wally Lewis said 0:21:32.150 --> 0:21:34.110 a number of years ago. Why are we trying to 0:21:34.109 --> 0:21:35.629 perfect a game that's not perfect? 0:21:35.630 --> 0:21:36.310 Yeah, I know. 0:21:36.470 --> 0:21:37.590 That's the best thing I've heard. 0:21:37.830 --> 0:21:40.470 But we are improving the game and and with so 0:21:40.470 --> 0:21:42.470 many cameras and so much scrutiny under the game. 0:21:42.470 --> 0:21:44.110 But do we want we don't want everything right. 0:21:44.150 --> 0:21:46.110 But we don't see a game like Stephen Crichton when 0:21:46.109 --> 0:21:48.710 the referee. That could have been a grand final. Yeah, 0:21:48.750 --> 0:21:50.429 that could have been a grand final. And critter got 0:21:50.430 --> 0:21:50.950 away with that. 0:21:50.990 --> 0:21:52.990 Yeah, but how many games have grand finals have we 0:21:53.030 --> 0:21:55.590 seen with like, sport is built on controversy. 0:21:55.590 --> 0:21:56.429 The biggest was. 0:21:56.510 --> 0:21:57.350 We'd have nothing to talk. 0:21:57.350 --> 0:22:00.230 About. Storm over Dragons in 99. Yeah, that was massive 0:22:00.750 --> 0:22:01.270 penalty try. 0:22:01.510 --> 0:22:02.550 You didn't think it was penalty try. 0:22:02.550 --> 0:22:03.150 Yeah of course it was. 0:22:03.190 --> 0:22:03.990 Yeah it was. 0:22:04.030 --> 0:22:05.950 Yeah. Ainscough and Smith. Yep. 0:22:05.990 --> 0:22:07.310 Craig Smith. Yep. 0:22:07.350 --> 0:22:09.230 Try try try. Who was the video ref. 0:22:10.070 --> 0:22:10.710 Might have been. 0:22:10.750 --> 0:22:12.190 Bill Harrigan set it up to. 0:22:12.750 --> 0:22:13.590 Was it Martin Weeks. 0:22:14.310 --> 0:22:18.350 No no. Anyway look it up Tim Mander. Jill. What 0:22:18.350 --> 0:22:20.709 is the funniest or most bizarre on field moment you 0:22:20.710 --> 0:22:21.430 can remember? 0:22:21.710 --> 0:22:21.990 Oh. 0:22:22.350 --> 0:22:24.830 You know, the most the the weirdest, the most bizarre one. 0:22:24.830 --> 0:22:26.950 Remember at Penrith when the black Cat ran on? 0:22:26.990 --> 0:22:27.390 Yep. 0:22:27.590 --> 0:22:28.230 I remember that. 0:22:28.230 --> 0:22:29.110 That was a bit weird mate. 0:22:29.109 --> 0:22:31.830 I had remember the guy, the pest. Yep. That used 0:22:31.830 --> 0:22:34.390 to run on and cause all drama. He ran on 0:22:34.390 --> 0:22:35.350 in a game in Newcastle. 0:22:35.350 --> 0:22:36.790 I was wanting to have rats around his neck. 0:22:36.790 --> 0:22:40.149 He had all cats and everything in his pockets and everything. 0:22:40.150 --> 0:22:42.790 He ran on the field one night. I still remember 0:22:42.790 --> 0:22:44.270 that up up there in Newcastle. 0:22:44.310 --> 0:22:45.790 Oh, did you get a champion?

I wouldn't have done that. 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:04.520 Well, you've got. 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:05.639 What do you achieve out of doing that? 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.000 Not with the size of his sword. 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:07.520 No. 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:08.719 If you didn't have. 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:11.359 A if you had the binoculars on it. 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:12.200 Not working with much. 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.359 If he was John Holmes, you'd get on there and go. 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.000 Come and catch me, mate.

That's um but being a second row, 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:27.200 um over all my life, always the front row would 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.600 one of them like every 6 or 7 months would have, 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:35.280 you know, shat their pants.
