Speaker 1: Hello, he Francis, how are you?

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 3: I'm well, thanks, Matta, how are.

23
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: You very well? I know you're not competing obviously. They

24
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: started kicking off today, but you are common to I

25
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: stand sport. But do you get a little do you

26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: get some butterflies?

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: I'm just watching the opening ceremony this morning. The butterflies

28
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: were out again. It is It is just sensational. Every

29
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: four years, I just always get so excited. I've now

30
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: been retired for more games than I was actually competing in,

31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's still so exciting every time at Paralympics

32
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: comes around.

33
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: But when you were running, a lot of people would say, oh,

34
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: you're only missing an arm, How hard is that?

35
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 4: But missing an arm just takes away all that counterweight

36
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: that you had in your body. Isn't that true?

37
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely, so Yeah, if you're sort of wondering how

38
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 3: much your arms are important when sprinting, especially, then try

39
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: going out and run and keeping your arms by your side.

40
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: You're when you try to run, and you'll see how

41
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: how hard it is actually really starts to generate any

42
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: seed there. So yeah, absolutely arms are incredibly important when

43
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: running as well.

44
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: What happened to your arm?

45
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: I had an accident as a kid, So grew up

46
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: on a farm and involved in a farming accident. So

47
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: of dangerous places farms for the kids sometimes, So yeah,

48
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: farming accident as a seven year old, right.

49
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: So I imagine being a Paralympian turned your life around

50
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: for you.

51
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: Look, the whole Paralympic movement was just incredible for me.

52
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: I was incredibly self conscious about my disability going up

53
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: and just being around such an amazing group of people.

54
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: It was just a really amazing experience for me. So

55
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: I'm so grateful for that. I was involved from about

56
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: the age of sixteen, so I was very fortunate to

57
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: get selected in a team when I was sixteen, And

58
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: probably more important even than the sport, was just the

59
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: impact that that had on me psychologically and emotionally to

60
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: be able to sort of be comfortable in my own skin,

61
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: which was really amazing. And I put that totally down

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: to just being around amazing Paralympic athletes.

63
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

64
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 4: Well, well let's see how good you go As a

65
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 4: footy tip.

66
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the Cowboys versus the Storm tonight playing

67
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

68
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to go with the home team, and

69
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: even though Melbourne's got the minor premiership, I think that

70
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are going to get it done on their

71
00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: home turf.

72
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: Okay, then Friday, we've got the Bulldogs having a ripper

73
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: of a year versus the Sea Eagles.

74
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I'm gonna have the cast in so they're

75
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 3: going to actually play out in two of my kIPS today.

76
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 3: So I hate Manly so as a result of that

77
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: then so so yeah, so the Bulldogs and yeah, that

78
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: was that was pretty easy that one.

79
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: Okay, Panthers rabbit O's yes, so so even even.

80
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: With potentially clearly not playing, I still think the Panthers

81
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: are going to have enough.

82
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Okay. Then on Saturday, we've got Eels and the Dragons.

83
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is going to be an interesting one. I

84
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: think the I think I'm saying to lean towards the Dragons.

85
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: I think they've got attle bit more to pay for.

86
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Dolphins, Broncos, Broncens.

87
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: I think the Broncs, that's their new name.

88
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the local derby there. Even though one of

89
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: my best mates he loves the Dolphins and is sort

90
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: of a died in the wool Dolphins. Then I'm going

91
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: to lean towards the Broncos.

92
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Okay, just to rat him. I think that's very good motivation.

93
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Jones's teams, the Sharks, You're taking on the Warriors.

94
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think I think you're you're backing the

95
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: right horse on this one, so yeah, I think the

96
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: shark Sharks are going to have it on this one

97
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: as well.

98
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: All right, well I think you've outed your allegiances for

99
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the Knights and the Titans.

100
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so I've Yeah, that's that's even Heart and

101
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: Head are actually going this way as well both, So

102
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: to be fair, I think that the Knights are going

103
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: to do it, yeah, absolutely.

104
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 4: And wrapping up the round, Amanda's side, Roosters take on

105
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: the Raiders.

106
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Amanda, not that IM just trying to get favoritism

107
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: with both of you with picking the same teams as yourself,

108
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: but yeah, I think the I think they're going to

109
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: do it as well, so yeah, yeah, Roosters as well.

110
