1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 2: Well for the last time this year on our show 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: we're in Mole and High. 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: I know it's quite emotional, isn't it? But also not you. 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 3: Did camera forget to sharp to the game on last week? 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: See I love that you open with that. My last time. 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: We're kind of getting a little bit emotional feelings of 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: being spoken about. You open with what happened to Cambra? 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: What happened? 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 3: Are you gutted? Did they forget to play? 11 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: Not? Really, to be honest, I was really disappointed and 12 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: an upset as a Canberra fan. But I think when 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: you make the Grand Final the year before, unless you're 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: a team like the Roosters, you got to expect that 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: you're probably not going to do it again the next year. 16 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: It's highly unlikely, particularly when you lose your hooker. And 17 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses, but early on in the year 18 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: and the travel Cammebra and I promise it sounds like 19 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm making a whole hell of a lot of excuses. 20 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: But the travel that Camberra had to do this year 21 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: was worse than any other club, So even the Sydney, 22 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Melbourne and Brisbane teams originally in Queensland teams could stay 23 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: in their own place because they had COVID set up 24 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: at the different stadiums COVID safety checks. Canberra had to 25 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: travel every single week at least three or four hours 26 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: down the highway, so they have had a it's been 27 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: a torrid year. And then on the day of the 28 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: match it's hard. Look, I was incredibly proud, more than disappointed. 29 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: It's not at that performance, but of the year there well. 30 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: Jones and I both said when our teams got out 31 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: there was a slight liberation of Oh the anxiety is over. 32 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: Do you know what? 33 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 3: That is? 34 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely so, and I have enough to be anxious about 35 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: in my life. 36 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: Let me tell you, I don't need another. 37 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: Football team in there to be worrying about that. So, 38 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: to be honest, you always have a sense of relief. 39 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: Now I can just watch the ground final and enjoy 40 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: it as a contest, whereas last year I just felt 41 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: physically ill for the entire time because I was so 42 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: nervous about it. So it's a great point you make. 43 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 4: There's a great weight of responsibility. Although I always envy 44 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 4: Melbourne Storm fans, I often think I wish my side 45 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 4: would play like the Melbourne Storm, because when you watch 46 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: the Melbourne Storm play, you just know what you're going 47 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 4: to get. 48 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: They are a successful person's football side. 49 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: They're phenomenal and the word clinical gets used over and 50 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: over and over and there's a reason for that because 51 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: they are just so in court. It was a great 52 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: piece this morning and I can't think who it was by, 53 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: but it was talking about how to shut down Cameron 54 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: Smith and that is the key to beating the Melbourne Storm. 55 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: And you look at Cronulla, who did it incredibly well. 56 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: They essentially just ran all their traffic at him. I 57 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: think he made sixty seven tackles, more than he'd ever 58 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: made before and he was absolutely stuffed and that was 59 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: one way to beat him. So you've got to be 60 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: so clever and so tactical to beat a team like 61 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: the Melbourne Storm, particularly when they led by Cameron Smith, 62 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: came fourth in the Delhian Medal at bloody forty nine 63 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: years old or whatever he is thirty eight years old. 64 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: It is phenomenal and he's a huge part of why 65 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: they do so well, as is Craig Bellamy. 66 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 3: And what about Ryan Pappenhouse. Not since Andrew wending Housen 67 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: have we had another housing on the field. 68 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: Isn't it a great name. 69 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: That's the best name in the world. 70 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: Warren loves that name and so but he's a superstar. 71 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: What you'll get called into the Origin side. I think 72 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: there's seven spaces left to come out of this game 73 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: of positions and he is an absolute superstar. 74 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: Well let's talk about Penris well. 75 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: Also, that's the thing this year is that if you 76 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: if your team's not in, I think a lot of 77 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: city siders will go for Penrith. 78 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: Well I wouldn't have be late. Yeah, I think we 79 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: just want to content. Yes, but look at all the 80 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: finals matches we've had so far, apart from say Canberra's 81 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: match wasn't particularly good, all like Grand finals starting from 82 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: week one. You know Rooster's Penrith that was a phenomenal game. 83 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: They've all been edgy, a seat, thrillers, just brilliant matches 84 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: of rugby league. So I just want to see a 85 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: great contest and I'd love to see Penrith break a 86 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: seventeen year drought. That'd be amazing. They're young, they got 87 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: so much fire in their bellies. I just don't know 88 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: how can you keep going at the level they are 89 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: at the level of success without fallue, without dropping a game, 90 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: not saying that there's a game and a loss they 91 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: need to have because I hate that saying. But how 92 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: much longer we can they go? Can they beat a 93 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: team that is probably the best in the modern era 94 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: at winning Grand finals? And that's see I don't think so, 95 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: I think the Melbourne Storm. But let's just take a 96 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: look at my results so far in this tipping competition 97 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: before anyone. 98 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: As any wait or well you've. 99 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: But anyway, I think I've done really well. Then if 100 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: we don't have the. 101 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: Josh Man, what about him? I forgot that he had 102 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,279 Speaker 3: all that met his face. 103 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: Isn't that unbelievable? A very beautiful wife and gorgeous kids 104 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: as well. But more importantly, as I said, he's risking 105 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: his life essentially to play. That's just phenomenal what he's 106 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: done this year. I've never seen him better, maybe apart 107 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: from the year where he was playing State of Origin, 108 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: but against wingers, and the game has changed so much 109 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: so much now is high kicks and these big wingers 110 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: who jump up like AFL players taking marks. Josh Manziell 111 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: is fairly small in that realm, not wide, and physically 112 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: he's mustly but he's fairly small, and he's still competing 113 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: with the best of them. He is phenomenal, you know, 114 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: And you're right, you know, for that reason alone, people like. 115 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: Him, and he's a genuinely good blow. It'd be wonderful 116 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 3: clearly as well. It's easy to make jokes about what 117 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: happened with the TikTok thing at. 118 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: The start of it, doesn't it. 119 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 4: But that really weighed on him, and he's a young 120 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 4: I think a lot of us forget that these guys 121 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,559 Speaker 4: are just kids. 122 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: Can I tell you that there were headlines even maybe 123 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: three months ago disgraced. 124 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: And I just think he with a bunch of girls. 125 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and he's young, and look, we all had to 126 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: take COVID very seriously. We still do there with restrictions 127 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: in place, and absolutely he did the wrong thing. But 128 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that disgraces him on any level. I 129 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: don't think that tarnishes the legacy that he will leave 130 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: down the track. He's he was twenty one years old. 131 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: Like mate, I think back to when I was twenty 132 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: one years old. 133 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: We're not pretty left one to dance with a bunch 134 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 4: of girls when I was one. 135 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that that there were no cameras when 136 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: you were twenty one? 137 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 5: Leftye, which left one? 138 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 3: So what are you saying, so Penrith not to win? 139 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying, parents, Look, I think the Melbourne Storm will 140 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: just be too good. Look, everyone said this will be 141 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: the start of the lessening of dominance by Melbourne and 142 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: Billy Slater gone all all their supers as Cooper Kronk. 143 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: No such thing has occurred. Jerome Hughes was phenomenal last 144 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: week filling it half. He's the first one that's really 145 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: gone in and actually dominated in that position. Poppenhausen is 146 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: amazing cam Munster. And then you've got the older blokes. 147 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: You've got the Forwards tell Fanouk and they are just 148 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: a superstar team with the great greatest mix of experience 149 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: and youth, whereas Penrith very young. So I just think 150 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: the Melbourne Storm have a better chance. 151 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: Are I so want Penrith to win, But I'm scared. 152 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 3: That store you got to pick one. 153 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: Well, I think Storm will be I don't want them. 154 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: To fill in my waters. 155 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Leftney. 156 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: What about the gas and rab show? 157 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 4: Are we going to see the It is my favorite 158 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 4: highlight of the year was this exchange between Gus and Rabs. 159 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 5: So Lane's in front of him, who's up past the ball? 160 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 5: I don't know where Lane is supposed to go? Seawan, 161 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 5: Lane passes the ball? Where do they want him to go? 162 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 5: Where do they want him to go? Where does he go? 163 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 5: Where does this lane go? 164 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 4: Now? 165 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 5: What's he supposed to do? Where is he supposed to go? 166 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 5: And where is he supposed to go?
