Speaker 4: it off. Yeah, yep, yep.

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: So look, I've got to remain optimistic, which is really

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: hard to do this morning, really hard to do.

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 3: Well, We've got the wonderful Ryan Hoffman joining us later

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: in the app to break it all down for you.

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: And if you are just a casual observer of origin,

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: we'll catch you up. That's what Georgie does with me

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: all the time. Lets me know what I need to know.

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: And there might be a few expletives, but we'll see

22
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: what happens. But George, my goodness, do I have a

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: good sport because this three minute clip made me cry. Okay,

24
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: that's that's right. It's a reflection of my emotional stability. Sure,

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: but have you seen the footage of Leo Lombard when

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: he's told that he will be getting a debut for

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: the Gold Coast song. So what they've done, God bless him,

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: is they've brought in his mum and he's there.

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 4: It is so we don't have tissues. Mom, I kin'd of.

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 4: I still can't look at it.

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 5: Mom.

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: Mom is sitting in the boardroom and she basically is saying,

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: I remember from preschool he was like footy footy, and

34
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: I went, nah, I'm not sitting in the side of

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: a paddock. I'm not having a bar of it. And

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: she just says it's worth it all, It's worth all

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: of it. And then he comes into the room and

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: she hands over the number thirty jumper and says you

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: deserve it. And then Dimmer says, you know what, I'll

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: just let him say it because this, I mean, appreciate what.

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: She's Yeah, so it's a journey.

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a reason.

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 5: The Academy's part of it.

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 6: But the fact matter is, this is what people give her,

45
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 6: but that's it should be incredibly prayers Hudan, and.

46
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: We are so honored that you're gonna play the first

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: game for the girl. Couldn't heard it.

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: We love it. Why why do you think we wanted

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: mum here? A grown man, knowing he's being filmed in

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: a football club, says, because she's literally my everything.

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: Just for context, deal, isn't it?

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 4: Those five words.

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: Have set Jelmy off. She Esus is crying.

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: He's in front of his senior coach.

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: He's a young man, he's ripped to the nines because

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: he's an athlete, and he's cuddling his mum's sobbing, and

57
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 3: they say, why do you want mom here?

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 4: And he goes, she's literally my everything.

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: Now, well, good luck to your few, your wife, because she's.

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: Not getting a look in. Mum's gonna be the number

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: one forever.

62
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Sorry, there is a reality in my mind where Mamma Lombard,

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: bless you, is there with Leo significant other and.

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: She just they have an argument.

65
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: She just leaves that, just leaves that on the table

66
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: and says good luck, babe.

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: But Dimmer then cries. He cries, cries, everyone cries. It's

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: just so the.

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: AFL shared that as well as a Gold Coast And

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 3: sometimes we get caught up in some peanut.

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: Behavior that we see by AFL players.

72
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: So it's so nice sometimes to see just a good

73
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: emotional hug with mum and how much it means I

74
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: loved it.

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: This is like one of those videos where dogs welcome

76
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: military people. This is in your feet immediately and then

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: you just start bawling and then you're down a rabbit

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: hole and.

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: It's a great time. It's a tearful time, but a great.

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: Time, just just the sob in.

81
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: But you can hear that, all right, I thought that

82
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: was you you were watching.

83
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: Love it, Love it, Love it.

84
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of potentially peanut behavior, I'm a bad sport peanut

85
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: the best non offensive offensive work. It's really good. Also, bulb,

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: like where do you go from that? You know someone

87
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: calls you a bulb? I'd be like, what of a tulip.

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: Or a light? How not described?

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: You know?

90
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: I digress, So peanut behavior.

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: One of our favorite topics on this podcast, dear listeners

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: you would know is the Tazzy Devils and this will

93
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: they won't they? Will they won't they relationship. It's practically

94
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: the coalition, Will they or won't they build this bloody

95
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: stadium for the new team. And there was a news

96
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: article that came out this week on the ABC with

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: the headline.

98
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: I'm a phrasing and maybe making it up.

99
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: Oh no, how could we have foreseen that the cost

100
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: of this stadium with roof may blow out.

101
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: To more than a billion dollars?

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: I'm trying not to swear. Trying not to.

103
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: Swear, obviously obviously, so concerns while who could have predicted it?

104
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Are us here at two good sports multiple times that

105
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: potentially the building costs are going to cripple the.

106
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: Team before they even begin. Is it the team or

107
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: the government that's going to be crippled?

108
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: Well, and this is the thing, it's both of them,

109
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: right because we, as we've discussed on this podcast before,

110
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: they're going hand in hand in this joint venture. And

111
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: Brendan Gale, who you know personally, who's a genius really

112
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: in the game, but even he's had to admit, yeah,

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: it's not it's not great.

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 2: It's not a great thing to happen.

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, there's debate this week being like, you know, Nathan

116
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 3: Buckley has been approached. Yes, I've had the conversation. I'm like,

117
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: bro needs a stadium to play.

118
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 4: This is going to be a senior coming. What are

119
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 4: we doing anyone have.

120
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Gigantic backyards in Hobart because we might need.

121
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: Also, just the amount of trades they're going to have

122
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: to fly to jazz because there's actually exactly not that

123
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: many people.

124
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 4: There's not enough worker ants to put it together.

125
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

126
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: Like, I'm not saying that I am a mass savant,

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: but even me with my abacus could be like, now,

128
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: hold on a second, might be slightly more than the

129
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions you already thought.

130
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: I'm so confident with the only sports podcast that casually

131
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: uses the word abacus vant.

132
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 4: For that matter, I promise we're about to speak opringing

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: welcome back.

134
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 3: No, but in all seriousness, we desperately hope that Tazzy

135
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: get a team.

136
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 4: Yes, we really hope that.

137
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: And I am the biggest advocate for the fact it

138
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 3: does need a roof. Petty about the fact they're like

139
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: stadium caveat with a roof.

140
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 4: It needs a roof. It's bloody, freezing, it's freezing and windy, and.

141
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: Peopleians hate it when you say that because they're like,

142
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,119
Speaker 3: it's beautiful sorry, have done boundary during the cricket season,

143
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: which is summer, and have wore four jackets.

144
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and probably you're meaning at this.

145
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Well, you're welcome to it, maybe if it's a whitewash.

146
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: But tazzy fans deserve it. We know that startups i e.

147
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: The jack Jumpers, startups, startups.

148
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: Silicon Valley down there on Valley. Yeah yeah, it's actually

149
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: the Silicon.

150
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: Same salomecon Markets. What is it.

151
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: We know that new teams do so well and embraced

152
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: by the tazzy public.

153
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: They deserve it, they do give it to them.

154
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: And we're just seeing across the board the building stadiums

155
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: isn't viable at the moment.

156
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know, So watch this space. It's

157
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: to watch this space. I will stay here with the

158
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: calculator and we will keep totaling.

159
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: But it's not looking good.

160
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: Not lease, don't google the ABC article that starts with.

161
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: Oh no, because it doesn't exist. Ryan Hoffman coming up next.

162
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: Now, tell me it is absolutely no secret that my

163
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: favorite time of year, nay, in any time of any

164
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: ear in any world isn't Christmas.

165
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: It's not my birthday.

166
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: It is state of origin, namely game one, namely Game

167
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: one in Queensland.

168
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Over the years, I've had a lot of success.

169
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: And I say I because I have been a part

170
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: of many Queensland victories, many series wins. The only times

171
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: that I wasn't really there would always be a new

172
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: South Welshman that would haunt my Dad and I as

173
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: we sat around the television trying to hold back our.

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: Tears because we've got so used to winning. And that

175
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: man is called Ryan Hoffland.

176
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: We always cheered him at the Melbourne Storm, our second team,

177
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know everyone, you know that everyone.

178
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: Was second and we thought, my god, he's good.

179
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: Then whenever we watched Origin and whenever the Blues were

180
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: doing annoying things for me, but magical things on the field,

181
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: this man was a part of it, so much so

182
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: that Dad and I would say to ourselves, you cannot

183
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: give this man any space.

184
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 4: He's too good. Do good.

185
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: And I even as a one eyed Queenslander with a

186
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: sad little beanie on my head today just licking my wounds.

187
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: After the game opening game in twenty twenty five, I

188
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: am thrilled to welcome the Ryan Hoffman to two Good.

189
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 5: Spots, Riot.

190
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 6: Ladies.

191
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 5: That was a hell of it intot thank you.

192
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 4: She has a reputation for those.

193
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 7: Ryan.

194
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: Firstly, how are you?

195
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: We'll start with that, but we also just want to

196
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: get into you're one of the very few people that

197
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: know what it's like to run out to Suncorp as

198
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: a Blue and what that feeling is and whether it

199
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: verberates through your chest.

200
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: So what is it like and how are you after

201
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: watching last night's game?

202
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 5: Thank you? Well, yeah, I'm good.

203
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 6: I'm certainly great after after a fantastic performance by the

204
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 6: Blues last night.

205
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 5: There is nothing like running out of some uncle.

206
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 6: Whether you're in a Maroon's jersey or a Blues jersey,

207
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 6: there is no feeling like it. Because when you play

208
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 6: there for the Blues, you're the first team that runs out,

209
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 6: So you're the first team that the crowd sees and they.

210
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 5: Give you a hell of a serve. But you like it.

211
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 5: You want that.

212
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 6: You want that energy. You want the energy that the

213
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 6: Queensland crowd brings. You've been copying abuse walking down the street,

214
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 6: going for your team walk that morning around Queen Street

215
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 6: Mall and everything like that. You're walking around there a

216
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 6: copy of abuse, so it just builds up that bit

217
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 6: of emotion.

218
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 5: Inn't you.

219
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 6: And then whilst you're out there, then the Queensland team

220
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 6: comes out, see but all the booze and then all

221
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 6: that she is and then it just sort of brings

222
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 6: it to it. And it's great that you run out

223
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: first because you actually get to look around. You actually

224
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 6: get that an opportunity to look around, soaking the crowd,

225
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 6: see your family, give them, give them a bit of

226
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 6: a wave and then get ready to play probably the

227
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 6: toughest game at rugby league you'll ever play in your life.

228
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 6: And there's not too many times I misplaying rugby league,

229
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 6: but State of Origin night is one night that I

230
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 6: certainly miss it.

231
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: Well, it is just special for one of a better word,

232
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: and you would have seen a young Georgie throwing something

233
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: at you at some.

234
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: Station going out there is love with love with love.

235
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 3: But we talk about general sport, you and I on

236
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: off siders, and we're lucky to be commentators where we

237
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: talk about all sport. Just how far is the gaping

238
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: chasm between Origin and everything else that we do sport

239
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: wise in this country in terms of the rivalry, because

240
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: there is no comparison in any other league.

241
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 4: It simply is the biggest.

242
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 6: You're going to camp and you're brainwashed. You are brain

243
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 6: washed into hating these people. Yes, you don't hate the person,

244
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 6: you hate the jersey.

245
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: That's right.

246
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 5: So guys like Billy.

247
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 6: Slader, Cameron Smith that there were groomsmen at my wedding,

248
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 6: a very very good friend of mine. I've playing against

249
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 6: all these guys. I hated them for three games, but

250
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 6: I hated the jersey.

251
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 5: They were wearing. And the greatest thing about Origin is.

252
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 6: That you will belt this not out of these blokes

253
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 6: because you've never got another opportunity, because you've played with

254
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 6: them in the same team, You've never got another opportunity

255
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 6: hit them. Say they do it in Origin. But as

256
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 6: soon as the game is done, you shake hands, you

257
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 6: move on. I mean, you cats in a plane home

258
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 6: with these guys the next day and nothing's really mentioned

259
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 6: about Origin.

260
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 5: You're just back to bend your regular teammates.

261
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 6: And it's that concept that a lot of people find

262
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 6: it hard to understand that you could go from trying

263
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 6: to kill the opposition because you hate the jersey they're

264
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 6: wearing into just being best mates the next day.

265
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 5: But that's what makes Origin so special.

266
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 6: And I think what's great about it too, is that

267
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 6: the clubs buy it.

268
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 5: It's the best thirty four players in the country. Remove

269
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 5: them from your competition, give them.

270
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 6: The hardest build up in the toughest game that you

271
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 6: could do in the clubs and say no worries, take them.

272
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 6: And I think that's that's why it's so special. And

273
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 6: unfortunately for the AFL. Why have the state of origin

274
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 6: dropped the ways because the clubs wanted to protect their players.

275
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 6: It's not then in rugby league, Hey, you want your

276
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 6: players playing standard origin.

277
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 3: I just can't fathom the level of propaganda needed to

278
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: make anyone hate Billy Slater. Oh that's gotta be I mean,

279
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: the man can ride horseback.

280
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

281
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: I grew up loathing and I mean loathing Joey John's

282
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: you know how good he was as a player, And

283
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: I grew up hating the man.

284
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,359
Speaker 2: Like no, it was like when I didn't like because.

285
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 4: You were in camp. Georgie speaks like she played for

286
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: the Maroons there, right, I did.

287
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 5: I have no idea the brainwashing that goes on this stuff.

288
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 6: Then little incidents they find in the game just to

289
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 6: highlight say look at this flake, look what he did

290
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 6: in this game.

291
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: And like, as I said, they're talking about your best mates?

292
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 5: Are you akay? Because if we're in our own Jersey.

293
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 5: But that's that's what Origin is about.

294
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: This is a perfect tie in Ryan because I think,

295
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: and I will, I'm so interested to get your thoughts.

296
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: But my overall review from the Queenslanders was that they

297
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: were incredibly uninspiring and really could use a wee bit

298
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: more piss, a lot, a bit more mongrel. So I

299
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: want those video sessions. I want that Billy to be like.

300
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: Look at that there he looked at you sideways and.

301
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: Then for that to really build that I think that

302
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: we're missing, We're missing a little bit of that edge.

303
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, look that there was a bit of a missing

304
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 6: from a hard edge from Queensland. But to be honest,

305
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 6: Queensland didn't help themselves, and I think Bill was first

306
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 6: to admit their discipline was horrific. They just picked up

307
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 6: New south Wales and held their hand and walked them

308
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 6: down the field through penalties and you can't do that,

309
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 6: and I think that's the most disappointed. I think that's

310
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 6: what Bill would have been most disappointed about last night's game,

311
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 6: is that they just invited New South Wales into their

312
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 6: art and look, I thought I still think New South

313
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 6: Wales have a superior team on paper, but I've seen

314
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 6: it too many times that the best team doesn't always

315
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 6: it doesn't necessarily get the best get the win. But

316
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 6: Queensland certainly didn't help themselves last night, and that's going

317
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 6: to be the major focus for Bill going into game too.

318
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 5: Well.

319
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: Run, we'll get on to the fact that you're an

320
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: oracle because you've made some amazing and also been on

321
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: air and said there should be these decisions that made

322
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: that weren't. But I'm going to give you an idea

323
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: to the sort of text messages I was receiving in

324
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: one sentence passe from Georgie last night. We're a disaster.

325
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: This is killing me. I mean, I agree, he's one

326
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: hundred and four. I won't tell you what player we're

327
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: referring to his age there. We're so shit, our attack

328
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: is terrible. The ref is also killing us. This is

329
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: absolutely grim. They're all individual texts, sents sporadically at me.

330
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 4: Oh, she's at a pub screaming so this Ryan? Do

331
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: you do you agree?

332
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: But I've alluded, I've alluded to a particular selection there

333
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: which you're on air saying that Tommy Diardan should get

334
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: an opportunity, and they went with DC. They went with

335
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: the incumbent. Do you think there needs to be a

336
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: change before game two?

337
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 5: I think Bill will make a change in the spine

338
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 5: where it is.

339
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: I'm not sure would full back half five eight, I'm

340
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 6: really not sure.

341
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 5: But two their attack last night it was uninspired.

342
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 6: It really was that they didn't really ask him many

343
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 6: questions on this South Wales, even the score, even the

344
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 6: try they did get came off for New south Wales

345
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 6: era which went through two quick EANs and got out

346
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 6: to the wings, so they didn't really break apart the

347
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 6: New south Wales defense. So they need a change there.

348
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 6: And I think Tommy diden is a great competitor for

349
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 6: me personally, I'm not a selector or anything like I

350
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 6: would have put.

351
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: Tom didn't over Dally Cherry Evans.

352
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: And said that publicly, so he looks it looks good.

353
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 5: Now and as nothing is.

354
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 6: Dally Daly has been a fantastic player for Queensland, but

355
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 6: no one beats father time.

356
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 5: No one beats father time.

357
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: And I just think he looked his age last night.

358
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 6: But it would be a very tough call for Bill

359
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 6: to make, seeing as he is captain. Dropping your captain

360
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 6: midway through a series would be a huge call.

361
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: So you've just said foreseeing that Bill might make a change.

362
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: This is him after the game, addressing whether or not

363
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: he thinks he has the right squad.

364
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: He's a listen.

365
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 7: I definitely don't think it's a personal thing, Like I

366
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 7: know what this team's capable of, and that's why I'm

367
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 7: you can probably see I'm disappointed because they haven't played

368
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 7: their best footing and I feel responsible to try and

369
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 7: help them get there. So yeah, it's definitely not a

370
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 7: personnel thing, to be honest. They've had a great attitude

371
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 7: as well, but to the discipline side of the game,

372
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 7: the attitude wasn't.

373
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 5: As good it was.

374
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm i, as a Queenslander, Ryan am concerned because I

375
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: think that that may have been their best footing, do

376
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

377
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 4: And if that doesn't sound like a man who's going

378
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: to make that much, no not.

379
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: I said, like, we don't have any game breakers in

380
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 2: that team.

381
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: In that team, that was my thought before heading into

382
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: last night, and last night it was proven. I'm with

383
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: you in that. I mean, I said to Jellmy that

384
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: he was one hundred and four daily Cherry Evans. You know,

385
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: love you love your work. You got older as the

386
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: game progressed, I.

387
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: Was like, he's four thousand, why.

388
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: Is he on the field?

389
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 4: Like you know?

390
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: So I just think that how hard is it?

391
00:17:59,840 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 5: Right?

392
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: And when you are a player and you've got all

393
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: this outside noise from and it's never loud, but it's

394
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: never louder than state of origin, it is it is

395
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: and they're calling for like your head.

396
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, look it's it's especially after a loss.

397
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 5: I mean, no one's jobs secure. Bill is a very

398
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 5: loyal person.

399
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 6: He is very very loyal and sometimes that loyalty can

400
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 6: come through and we'll get the best out of players

401
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 6: knowing that they have the trust from the coach. I

402
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 6: think the problem for Queensland is a lot of that

403
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 6: players aren't in a good club form either.

404
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

405
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 6: The club that he draws most of his players from

406
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 6: is normally the North Queensland Cowboys, and they are only

407
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 6: in great form.

408
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 5: They're really up, up and down team.

409
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 6: I think Tom Diden's been the standout for them head

410
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 6: and shoulders above any other player that they've had on

411
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 6: the paddock. So he may be forced to make changes Bill,

412
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 6: I'm not sure, but look, as I said, he is

413
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 6: a loyal person. He won't make changes for the sake

414
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 6: of changes, but for the individuals. And I've been there,

415
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 6: you know. You lose the first game, you think Jesus

416
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 6: my head on the chopping and it is quite a

417
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 6: stressful situation. But all those players can do is go

418
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 6: back to clubland and put their best foot forward. And

419
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 6: I think a lot of those Queens lads have gone

420
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 6: to back up and play this weekend because they want

421
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 6: to prove to build the our orige and quality players

422
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 6: and they want to go back and play well for

423
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 6: their club side.

424
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: Let's turn to New South Wales because as the oracle,

425
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: I have a big question for you, Ryan, did someone

426
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: put a hex on Nathan Cleary?

427
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: Because why couldn't he kick anything?

428
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 5: He couldn't kick as well himself out of a wet

429
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 5: paper ban last night? Right?

430
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 6: He even gave Zach Lomac's a chance too and he

431
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 6: shaped a big time And they are probably two of

432
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 6: the best goalkickers in the competition.

433
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what was and they still smacked him,

434
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: I know, I.

435
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 5: Know, And that's the scary part. It could have been

436
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: twenty four nil.

437
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, really could if we've kicked those goals and

438
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 6: there was a mistake from you.

439
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: I was coming out of their own end. It could

440
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 5: have been twenty four nil.

441
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 6: So I don't think the school one actually show just

442
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 6: how dominant New South Wales was. But one thing I

443
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 6: always said, you're never blaming goalkickers because they'll win your game,

444
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 6: but they'll never lose your game because you shouldn't put

445
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 6: yourself in a position where the goalkicker's got to kick

446
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 6: a goal to wiz.

447
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you ever play in Perth?

448
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: Right? I did?

449
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 6: I actually played in the first first game at off

450
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 6: the stadium, first game one has ever used. It was

451
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 6: a double header in twenty eighteen, the NRL open that

452
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 6: season over there and Melbourne Storm played the Bulldogs and

453
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 6: the Warriors played the Bunnies.

454
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 5: I think the double header that was the first game

455
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 5: I've ever played.

456
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: Well, you can give us some insight into what it's

457
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 3: like taking NRL over to the West because that's where

458
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: we're seeing State of Origin next and I think there'll

459
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: be some Bears, some fresh bears, guernsies going around.

460
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 6: Surely I actually played it. I would have played in

461
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 6: Perth at least half a dozen times. A lot of

462
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 6: times Sydney teams took the Melbourne Storm and when I

463
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 6: was at the Warriors, I mean merely would take us

464
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 6: to Perth for a home game every single year. So

465
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 6: can you imagine that flight from Auckland to Perth. That's

466
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: eight hours. But they looked after us. They put us

467
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 6: up the pointing end, so we all looked after there.

468
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 4: You take the points too, you take.

469
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, you worry. I got I've got to

470
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 5: goal with a new zilla very quickly. But look, that's

471
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 5: it's a funny stadium because when when I used.

472
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 6: To play club football before of the stadium was built,

473
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: we played at HATESBF Stadium where the Force played, and

474
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 6: that's that's a purpose built rectangular stadium. This is obviously

475
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 6: an oval so massive. It is a huge grand I

476
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 6: never forget. It was the first time I've seen those

477
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 6: digital lights. So we scored a try and it was

478
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 6: a night game and all of a sudden, all the

479
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 6: lights went out.

480
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: With what's going on here?

481
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 6: And there's been a power series and then they flicked

482
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 6: on and they're flicking on and off of We're in

483
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 6: the middlefield, go, what the hell's going on here?

484
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: So they've got these fancy digital.

485
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: Lights, especially if you were the first to play like

486
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: the exhibition sort of match there. Do you know, Ryan,

487
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: they actually made them pull that back for broadcast because

488
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 3: it was setting people off at home that might have

489
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: epilepsy really because of just how much it was flash.

490
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 4: And going off.

491
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: Wow, because at the Freo game it used to be

492
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: like you were at Diplo. It was it was like

493
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 3: I remember thinking like, if I'm a player, I'm wondering,

494
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: like is this going to end?

495
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: Like scrilex here?

496
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, An Harris, so like it was. It was

497
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 4: just like this.

498
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: It's like they had a rave in between every score,

499
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: like they wanted to show off what it could do,

500
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: and the broadcasters have been like, you need to calm down.

501
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

502
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 6: It was really bizarre, as I said, but sort of

503
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 6: in the adultal Great try boys, blah blah and then the

504
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 6: lights start flashing off.

505
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: Great try Boys, blah blah blah.

506
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: That's a peep behind the curtain if you've ever heard it.

507
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: Well on that on that now, Ryan, this is something

508
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: that you, I'm going to say, may have never done

509
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: in your life, certainly your playing career. If you were

510
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: to give a pep talk to the Queensland Morones ahead of.

511
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 3: Its given a pep talk to the Morons. I'm guessing

512
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: he's never given a pep.

513
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: Talk famously listens to this podcast. So mate, what would

514
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: you tell them?

515
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: Like?

516
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 4: What what?

517
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: What do they need to do? You are currently like

518
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: one hundred percent in all predictions.

519
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 6: Okay, so peptal the turning up it Starnes, New South

520
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 6: Files are better than you. Guys you've had You've had

521
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 6: a good chance. But I wouldn't bother showing up tomorrow.

522
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, Georgie, you had a good run.

523
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 4: You've had a good time.

524
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 3: I mean not recently, but in general, in general terms,

525
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 3: I feel like you've enjoyed the joy.

526
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 5: Actually no, I will do it.

527
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 6: Serious, okay, serious, serious marid On, Okay, right, stop giving

528
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 6: my penalties. You're literally taking the twelve guys to your

529
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 6: foot pulling the trigger.

530
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 5: So that's the first thing they need to sort out.

531
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 6: Number two. They need to ask more questions. They're way

532
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 6: too pedestrian. And you know they need to ask a

533
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 6: questions of the New South Files defense. They didn't do

534
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 6: it and New South Wales defense was too good.

535
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 5: So I need to be.

536
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 6: Disciplined and they need to ask more questions.

537
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: Very good. I could run through a brick wall. I

538
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 4: could run.

539
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: We're ready, we are ready, We're ready. I'm going to

540
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: print that on posters and be like, C see.

541
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 3: Everyone and you have predicted on ABC saying that you

542
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: might see a whitewashing this series. And to be fair,

543
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 3: if they hit the Blues kick straight.

544
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's if there's no personnel changes. Honestly, after

545
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: what we saw in game one, I can't see us scoring.

546
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: We only scored because it was thirteen v twelve.

547
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: I kept yelling at the screen.

548
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: It was another message finally we might do something.

549
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 4: I lost a man.

550
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 6: That's only they've scored one trying two games against New

551
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 6: South Wales.

552
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: That's some call.

553
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 4: Wow at Suncl's.

554
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: Scary like that is Honestly, as a Queensland I'm like,

555
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: what are we doing?

556
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 2: Like there has to be some changes.

557
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: I understand it sounds on Queensland alike of me because

558
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: you know we're all about loyalty.

559
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: But it's come on, that's the start.

560
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: It talks of it for itself, well right, and we

561
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: do fun facts on this podcast and you let us

562
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: know a little fun fact before we started recording and

563
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 3: you talk about personnel changes, you could have been a

564
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 3: Marone and Georgie nearly fell off her chair. Can you

565
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: tell us a little bit about the fact that you

566
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 3: could have been playing for Queensland.

567
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

568
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 6: I am the son of two Queenslanders. My mum and

569
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 6: dad were Queenslanders. Grew up in Queensland, grew up on

570
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 6: the Gold Coast. My dad actually played for Queensland. He

571
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 6: played played three games for Queensland for the Maroons. And

572
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: when I was playing, I played low grade, so I

573
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 6: played in New South Wales Under seventeen so I played

574
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 6: New South Wales under nineties. But back then when I

575
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 6: was at the Melbourne Storm, the feeder club was Brisbane North,

576
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: so I was playing some games in Brisbane more So

577
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 6: whilst there was for Queensland nineteens Ross Livermore. The boss

578
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 6: of the q r L actually went to put in

579
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 6: a dispensation for me to be eligible for Queensland under

580
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 6: a father son rule.

581
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: The GI rule, and I actually knocked it back. I

582
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 5: had never lived in English, would never never lived in Queensland.

583
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 5: I didn't consider myself a Queenslander. I'd always lived in

584
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 5: New South Wales. I was a blues man.

585
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 6: I appreciated that to what he wanted to do, and

586
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 6: like all kids all, I just wanted to follow her

587
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 6: dad did.

588
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 5: But he was a moron. I'm a blue.

589
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: This will be the ultimate test. Can you say the

590
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: word p double o l Pool? There he's a Queensland.

591
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: Queenslander.

592
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: We had Harry grant On. He was talking about recovery.

593
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: He's like, so I went to the peal Queenslander.

594
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,440

595
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

596
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Fun fact from now One of mine.

597
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: Fun fact Ryan that when I started in media and

598
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: I had to get voice coaching because everyone at that

599
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: time did. They wanted me to sound more authoritative. And

600
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: I was like, I can read. Don't you worry about this.

601
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to freaking nail it. And I was like,

602
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: read the lines and then I was like waiting for

603
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: all of the praise to just fall upon me, and

604
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: my voice coach goes, oh, you've got a really annoying

605
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: sing song pattern in your voice, like it sounds like

606
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: you're from Brisbane.

607
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 4: I was like, I am a prisman.

608
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 3: Hey, but love to both your parents, Ryan, love, We

609
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: love Queenslanders.

610
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: But Georgia, who did they go for?

611
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 5: Now?

612
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: Hold on hold on, hold on, are your parents still

613
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: Maroons or do they go for the Blue.

614
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 4: That's a wonderful question.

615
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 5: All about the Blues when I was playing for the Blues.

616
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 6: But the problem is my mum actually sent me a

617
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 6: text last night and she's gone, I don't know who

618
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 6: to go for.

619
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 5: There's just too many people I love on both teams.

620
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 6: They love Course, and we've obviously been friends with Bill

621
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 6: a long time. Bill actually when they were starting to

622
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 6: so and so and Coach bobbed around to to see

623
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 6: my dad to say goody.

624
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 5: So they're very close friends there.

625
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 6: But we also love Craig and obviously Matt King and

626
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 6: Brett White. We know Laura Dale, so that will Coach on.

627
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 6: So it was quite strong for them. But their Queenslanders.

628
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 6: Unless I'm playing, I just.

629
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: Love the idea of mum sitting at home being like,

630
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: I just hope no one gets hurt, like it's such

631
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 3: a mum thing, being like, oh, I just hope everyone's happy,

632
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,600
