But George, my goodness, do I have a 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:05.640 good sport because this three minute clip made me cry. Okay, 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:10.520 that's that's right. It's a reflection of my emotional stability. Sure, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.960 but have you seen the footage of Leo Lombard when 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.200 he's told that he will be getting a debut for 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.039 the Gold Coast song. So what they've done, God bless him, 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.720 is they've brought in his mum and he's there. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:29.240 It is so we don't have tissues. Mom, I kin'd of. 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:30.240 I still can't look at it. 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:30.559 Mom. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.759 Mom is sitting in the boardroom and she basically is saying, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.160 I remember from preschool he was like footy footy, and 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.160 I went, nah, I'm not sitting in the side of 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:41.840 a paddock. I'm not having a bar of it. And 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.720 she just says it's worth it all, It's worth all 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.720 of it. And then he comes into the room and 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.160 she hands over the number thirty jumper and says you 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.200 deserve it. And then Dimmer says, you know what, I'll 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.240 just let him say it because this, I mean, appreciate what. 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.160 She's Yeah, so it's a journey. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:03.160 Yeah, it's a reason. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.000 The Academy's part of it. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.240 But the fact matter is, this is what people give her, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.480 but that's it should be incredibly prayers Hudan, and. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.600 We are so honored that you're gonna play the first 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.680 game for the girl. Couldn't heard it. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:29.200 We love it. Why why do you think we wanted 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.000 mum here? A grown man, knowing he's being filmed in 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.760 a football club, says, because she's literally my everything. 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.359 Just for context, deal, isn't it? 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.240 Those five words. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:44.639 Have set Jelmy off. She Esus is crying. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.799 He's in front of his senior coach. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.760 He's a young man, he's ripped to the nines because 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.520 he's an athlete, and he's cuddling his mum's sobbing, and 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.679 they say, why do you want mom here? 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.840 And he goes, she's literally my everything. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.400 Now, well, good luck to your few, your wife, because she's. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.040 Not getting a look in. Mum's gonna be the number 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.160 one forever. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.040 Sorry, there is a reality in my mind where Mamma Lombard, 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.760 bless you, is there with Leo significant other and. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.400 She just they have an argument. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.639 She just leaves that, just leaves that on the table 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.639 and says good luck, babe. 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.440 But Dimmer then cries. He cries, cries, everyone cries. It's 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:29.280 just so the. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.040 AFL shared that as well as a Gold Coast And 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.639 sometimes we get caught up in some peanut. 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.240 Behavior that we see by AFL players. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.600 So it's so nice sometimes to see just a good 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.720 emotional hug with mum and how much it means I 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:43.280 loved it. 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.520 This is like one of those videos where dogs welcome 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:51.720 military people. This is in your feet immediately and then 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.080 you just start bawling and then you're down a rabbit 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:54.720 hole and. 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.920 It's a great time. It's a tearful time, but a great. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.840 Time, just just the sob in. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.280 But you can hear that, all right, I thought that 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.520 was you you were watching. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:07.960 Love it, Love it, Love it. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:14.400 Speaking of potentially peanut behavior, I'm a bad sport peanut 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.360 the best non offensive offensive work. It's really good. Also, bulb, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.799 like where do you go from that? You know someone 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:28.480 calls you a bulb? I'd be like, what of a tulip. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.760 Or a light? How not described? 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:33.000 You know? 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.080 I digress, So peanut behavior. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.760 One of our favorite topics on this podcast, dear listeners 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.479 you would know is the Tazzy Devils and this will 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.839 they won't they? Will they won't they relationship. It's practically 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.760 the coalition, Will they or won't they build this bloody 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.719 stadium for the new team. And there was a news 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.320 article that came out this week on the ABC with 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.560 the headline. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.880 I'm a phrasing and maybe making it up. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:06.799 Oh no, how could we have foreseen that the cost 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.880 of this stadium with roof may blow out. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.520 To more than a billion dollars? 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.520 I'm trying not to swear. Trying not to. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:21.760 Swear, obviously obviously, so concerns while who could have predicted it? 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.880 Are us here at two good sports multiple times that 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.520 potentially the building costs are going to cripple the. 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.159 Team before they even begin. Is it the team or 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.640 the government that's going to be crippled? 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.320 Well, and this is the thing, it's both of them, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.880 right because we, as we've discussed on this podcast before, 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.760 they're going hand in hand in this joint venture. And 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.920 Brendan Gale, who you know personally, who's a genius really 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.200 in the game, but even he's had to admit, yeah, 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:48.520 it's not it's not great. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.679 It's not a great thing to happen. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.400 Meanwhile, there's debate this week being like, you know, Nathan 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.919 Buckley has been approached. Yes, I've had the conversation. I'm like, 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:57.760 bro needs a stadium to play. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.920 This is going to be a senior coming. What are 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.359 we doing anyone have. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.440 Gigantic backyards in Hobart because we might need. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.320 Also, just the amount of trades they're going to have 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.080 to fly to jazz because there's actually exactly not that 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:10.680 many people. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.719 There's not enough worker ants to put it together. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:13.400 Yeah. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.360 Like, I'm not saying that I am a mass savant, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.880 but even me with my abacus could be like, now, 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.200 hold on a second, might be slightly more than the 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:24.760 hundreds of millions you already thought. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.800 I'm so confident with the only sports podcast that casually 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.400 uses the word abacus vant. 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:36.600 For that matter, I promise we're about to speak opringing 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:37.920 welcome back. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.679 No, but in all seriousness, we desperately hope that Tazzy 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:44.280 get a team. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.080 Yes, we really hope that. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.120 And I am the biggest advocate for the fact it 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.359 does need a roof. Petty about the fact they're like 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.279 stadium caveat with a roof. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.919 It needs a roof. It's bloody, freezing, it's freezing and windy, and. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.880 Peopleians hate it when you say that because they're like, 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.119 it's beautiful sorry, have done boundary during the cricket season, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.440 which is summer, and have wore four jackets. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.360 Yeah yeah, and probably you're meaning at this. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:15.640 Well, you're welcome to it, maybe if it's a whitewash. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.320 But tazzy fans deserve it. We know that startups i e. 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.160 The jack Jumpers, startups, startups. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.880 Silicon Valley down there on Valley. Yeah yeah, it's actually 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:24.720 the Silicon. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.360 Same salomecon Markets. What is it. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.880 We know that new teams do so well and embraced 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:30.760 by the tazzy public. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.320 They deserve it, they do give it to them. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.880 And we're just seeing across the board the building stadiums 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.120 isn't viable at the moment. 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.320 Yeah, I know, I know, So watch this space. It's 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.240 to watch this space. I will stay here with the 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.480 calculator and we will keep totaling. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:47.480 But it's not looking good. 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.000 Not lease, don't google the ABC article that starts with. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:57.160 Oh no, because it doesn't exist. Ryan Hoffman coming up next. 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.760 Now, tell me it is absolutely no secret that my 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.400 favorite time of year, nay, in any time of any 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.240 ear in any world isn't Christmas. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:19.640 It's not my birthday. 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.679 It is state of origin, namely game one, namely Game 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.080 one in Queensland. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.720 Over the years, I've had a lot of success. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.440 And I say I because I have been a part 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:36.160 of many Queensland victories, many series wins. The only times 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.839 that I wasn't really there would always be a new 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.079 South Welshman that would haunt my Dad and I as 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:47.520 we sat around the television trying to hold back our. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.040 Tears because we've got so used to winning. And that 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.000 man is called Ryan Hoffland. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.400 We always cheered him at the Melbourne Storm, our second team, 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.640 you know, you know everyone, you know that everyone. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.040 Was second and we thought, my god, he's good. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.839 Then whenever we watched Origin and whenever the Blues were 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.400 doing annoying things for me, but magical things on the field, 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.160 this man was a part of it, so much so 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.160 that Dad and I would say to ourselves, you cannot 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.320 give this man any space. 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:18.440 He's too good. Do good. 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.680 And I even as a one eyed Queenslander with a 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.840 sad little beanie on my head today just licking my wounds. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.080 After the game opening game in twenty twenty five, I 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:35.480 am thrilled to welcome the Ryan Hoffman to two Good. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:36.559 Spots, Riot. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:38.680 Ladies. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.319 That was a hell of it intot thank you. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.320 She has a reputation for those. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:43.680 Ryan. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.080 Firstly, how are you? 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.920 We'll start with that, but we also just want to 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.320 get into you're one of the very few people that 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.000 know what it's like to run out to Suncorp as 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.640 a Blue and what that feeling is and whether it 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.200 verberates through your chest. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.880 So what is it like and how are you after 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.040 watching last night's game? 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.320 Thank you?

Because when you play 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.959 there for the Blues, you're the first team that runs out, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.040 So you're the first team that the crowd sees and they. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.439 Give you a hell of a serve.

You've been copying abuse walking down the street, 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.480 going for your team walk that morning around Queen Street 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.360 Mall and everything like that. You're walking around there a 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.600 copy of abuse, so it just builds up that bit 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:40.120 of emotion. 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:40.600 Inn't you. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.320 And then whilst you're out there, then the Queensland team 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.600 comes out, see but all the booze and then all 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.959 that she is and then it just sort of brings 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.640 it to it. And it's great that you run out 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.040 first because you actually get to look around. You actually 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.600 get that an opportunity to look around, soaking the crowd, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.640 see your family, give them, give them a bit of 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.640 a wave and then get ready to play probably the 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.360 toughest game at rugby league you'll ever play in your life. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.120 And there's not too many times I misplaying rugby league, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.559 but State of Origin night is one night that I 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:09.360 certainly miss it. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.400 Well, it is just special for one of a better word, 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.360 and you would have seen a young Georgie throwing something 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:15.520 at you at some. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.440 Station going out there is love with love with love. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.959 But we talk about general sport, you and I on 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:22.920 off siders, and we're lucky to be commentators where we 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.120 talk about all sport. Just how far is the gaping 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.560 chasm between Origin and everything else that we do sport 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.240 wise in this country in terms of the rivalry, because 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.600 there is no comparison in any other league. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.200 It simply is the biggest. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.200 You're going to camp and you're brainwashed. You are brain 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.160 washed into hating these people. Yes, you don't hate the person, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:43.200 you hate the jersey. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:43.920 That's right. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.480 So guys like Billy. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.959 Slader, Cameron Smith that there were groomsmen at my wedding, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.760 a very very good friend of mine. I've playing against 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.560 all these guys. I hated them for three games, but 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:57.760 I hated the jersey. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.079 They were wearing. And the greatest thing about Origin is. 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.880 That you will belt this not out of these blokes 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.319 because you've never got another opportunity, because you've played with 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.120 them in the same team, You've never got another opportunity 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.840 hit them. Say they do it in Origin. But as 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.480 soon as the game is done, you shake hands, you 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.240 move on. I mean, you cats in a plane home 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.920 with these guys the next day and nothing's really mentioned 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:21.480 about Origin. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.040 You're just back to bend your regular teammates. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.040 And it's that concept that a lot of people find 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.360 it hard to understand that you could go from trying 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.800 to kill the opposition because you hate the jersey they're 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.920 wearing into just being best mates the next day. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.760 But that's what makes Origin so special. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:39.920 And I think what's great about it too, is that 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.520 the clubs buy it. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.240 It's the best thirty four players in the country. Remove 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.920 them from your competition, give them. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.600 The hardest build up in the toughest game that you 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.000 could do in the clubs and say no worries, take them. 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.280 And I think that's that's why it's so special. And 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.000 unfortunately for the AFL. Why have the state of origin 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.360 dropped the ways because the clubs wanted to protect their players. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.360 It's not then in rugby league, Hey, you want your 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.600 players playing standard origin. 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.559 I just can't fathom the level of propaganda needed to 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.360 make anyone hate Billy Slater. Oh that's gotta be I mean, 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:13.480 the man can ride horseback. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:13.760 Yeah. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.120 I grew up loathing and I mean loathing Joey John's 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:18.840 you know how good he was as a player, And 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:20.040 I grew up hating the man. 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.359 Like no, it was like when I didn't like because. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.920 You were in camp. Georgie speaks like she played for 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.240 the Maroons there, right, I did. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.880 I have no idea the brainwashing that goes on this stuff. 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.600 Then little incidents they find in the game just to 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.719 highlight say look at this flake, look what he did 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:37.320 in this game. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.480 And like, as I said, they're talking about your best mates? 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.600 Are you akay? Because if we're in our own Jersey. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.400 But that's that's what Origin is about. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:49.240 This is a perfect tie in Ryan because I think, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.520 and I will, I'm so interested to get your thoughts. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.640 But my overall review from the Queenslanders was that they 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:59.400 were incredibly uninspiring and really could use a wee bit 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.080 more piss, a lot, a bit more mongrel. So I 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.839 want those video sessions. I want that Billy to be like. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.120 Look at that there he looked at you sideways and. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.440 Then for that to really build that I think that 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.320 we're missing, We're missing a little bit of that edge. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.760 Yeah, look that there was a bit of a missing 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.160 from a hard edge from Queensland. But to be honest, 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.800 Queensland didn't help themselves, and I think Bill was first 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.600 to admit their discipline was horrific. They just picked up 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.880 New south Wales and held their hand and walked them 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.160 down the field through penalties and you can't do that, 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.440 and I think that's the most disappointed. I think that's 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.920 what Bill would have been most disappointed about last night's game, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.560 is that they just invited New South Wales into their 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.480 art and look, I thought I still think New South 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.360 Wales have a superior team on paper, but I've seen 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.360 it too many times that the best team doesn't always 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.520 it doesn't necessarily get the best get the win. But 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.320 Queensland certainly didn't help themselves last night, and that's going 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.800 to be the major focus for Bill going into game too. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:56.360 Well. 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:57.720 Run, we'll get on to the fact that you're an 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.120 oracle because you've made some amazing and also been on 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.280 air and said there should be these decisions that made 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:04.640 that weren't. But I'm going to give you an idea 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.200 to the sort of text messages I was receiving in 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.800 one sentence passe from Georgie last night. We're a disaster. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.960 This is killing me. I mean, I agree, he's one 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.000 hundred and four. I won't tell you what player we're 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.120 referring to his age there. We're so shit, our attack 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.480 is terrible. The ref is also killing us. This is 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:27.240 absolutely grim. They're all individual texts, sents sporadically at me. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.480 Oh, she's at a pub screaming so this Ryan? Do 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:31.800 you do you agree? 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.680 But I've alluded, I've alluded to a particular selection there 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.680 which you're on air saying that Tommy Diardan should get 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.560 an opportunity, and they went with DC. They went with 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.440 the incumbent. Do you think there needs to be a 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:44.640 change before game two? 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.160 I think Bill will make a change in the spine 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:47.760 where it is. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.520 I'm not sure would full back half five eight, I'm 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:53.280 really not sure. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.800 But two their attack last night it was uninspired. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.280 It really was that they didn't really ask him many 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.440 questions on this South Wales, even the score, even the 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.080 try they did get came off for New south Wales 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.440 era which went through two quick EANs and got out 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.960 to the wings, so they didn't really break apart the 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.120 New south Wales defense. So they need a change there. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.520 And I think Tommy diden is a great competitor for 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.080 me personally, I'm not a selector or anything like I 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:21.600 would have put. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.960 Tom didn't over Dally Cherry Evans. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.760 And said that publicly, so he looks it looks good. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.400 Now and as nothing is. 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.920 Dally Daly has been a fantastic player for Queensland, but 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.640 no one beats father time. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:36.320 No one beats father time. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.920 And I just think he looked his age last night. 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.160 But it would be a very tough call for Bill 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.640 to make, seeing as he is captain. Dropping your captain 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.560 midway through a series would be a huge call. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:53.000 So you've just said foreseeing that Bill might make a change. 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.360 This is him after the game, addressing whether or not 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.920 he thinks he has the right squad. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:57.560 He's a listen. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.640 I definitely don't think it's a personal thing, Like I 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:06.119 know what this team's capable of, and that's why I'm 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.240 you can probably see I'm disappointed because they haven't played 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:13.520 their best footing and I feel responsible to try and 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:18.600 help them get there. So yeah, it's definitely not a 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.880 personnel thing, to be honest. They've had a great attitude 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.240 as well, but to the discipline side of the game, 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:26.240 the attitude wasn't. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:26.679 As good it was. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:32.720 I'm i, as a Queenslander, Ryan am concerned because I 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.639 think that that may have been their best footing, do 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:35.200 you know what I mean? 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:36.879 And if that doesn't sound like a man who's going 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.280 to make that much, no not. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.840 I said, like, we don't have any game breakers in 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:41.479 that team. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.560 In that team, that was my thought before heading into 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.000 last night, and last night it was proven. I'm with 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.600 you in that. I mean, I said to Jellmy that 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:50.720 he was one hundred and four daily Cherry Evans. You know, 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.399 love you love your work. You got older as the 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:54.280 game progressed, I. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.320 Was like, he's four thousand, why. 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:56.920 Is he on the field? 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:57.320 Like you know? 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.760 So I just think that how hard is it? 0:17:59.840 --> 0:17:59.919 Right? 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.520 And when you are a player and you've got all 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.920 this outside noise from and it's never loud, but it's 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.760 never louder than state of origin, it is it is 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:09.680 and they're calling for like your head. 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.000 Yeah, yeah, look it's it's especially after a loss. 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.520 I mean, no one's jobs secure. Bill is a very 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:18.399 loyal person. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:22.480 He is very very loyal and sometimes that loyalty can 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.760 come through and we'll get the best out of players 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.399
