1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Two Good Sports would like to acknowledge the traditional owners 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: of the land on which we record this podcast that 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: will rundery people. This land was never seated, always was, 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: always will be. Hello and welcome to two Good Sports 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: sports news told differently. 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: I'm Georgie Tunney and I'm maybe Jelmy, and I'm about 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 2: to watch Georgie have one of the moments of her life. 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: I honestly may never feel this again. We should bottle 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: this because two teams from Brisbane are in the Grand Finals, 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: both the AFL and the NRL, including my beloved Brisbane Broncos. 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: Regular listeners will know that Georgie's been having to wear 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: her beanies on the plight until the Broncos win a premiership. Well, 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: the beanies are on, the lids are off. And I'll 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 2: be the first to say I'm a casual observer of 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: NRL as a girl that grew up in Perth. When 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: I was interviewed at Fox Sports saying what do you 17 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: think of NRL, I said, you know what, I love 18 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: the Wallabies. That's genuinely what happened. Since then I went 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: on to cover Origin. I got into it, but I 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: do not have the passion that you do. But I'm 21 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: excited to watch this Grand Final on Sunday because it 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: is the best two teams all year. And George, you're 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: gonna tell me why it's so interesting and why we're excited. 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: From spoon to boom. Tell me how did the Brisbane 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: Broncos go from dead last to NRL Grand finalists in 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: just two years? Spoiler alert? It involves a evolution of 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: the coaching staff. Yes I've used that term. It's technical. 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: We'll get to it, and. 29 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: The recruitment of a whole bunch of rock stars. But 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: the million dollar question is, and it's actually a million 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: dollar question because if keV Walters does win on the weekend, 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: the Brisbane Broncos win, he gets a million dollars. That's 33 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: part of a clause in his contract. That's quite the bonus. 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: It's quite a bonus. 35 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: I'd be like, listen here, you jumps. 36 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: You know what we do. 37 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: We we win. 38 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: But what is standing in their way is the Penrith Parade. 39 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: The Panthers through to their fourth straight Grand Final on 40 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: the hunt for their third straight premiership. Yadi da dy 41 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: da all of that. So what does the Brisbane Broncos 42 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: need to do to win this is your objective, God. 43 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: Objective has an asterisk. This is a small one, but 44 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: you can't see it. And there's also the AFL Granny 45 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: happening this week, so we better get to the headlines. 46 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: Headline number one lines. 47 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: Hip, what's been good? Picked up that valley and it's 48 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: the Brisbane lines who make the Magpies. 49 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: In the twenty three the Gavasium interraptures. That was the 50 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: game that decided who we were going to see in 51 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three AFL Grand Final. And it is 52 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: a clash of the Titans, the two best teams that 53 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 2: we've seen all year. It is the Collingwood Magpies taking 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: on the Brisbane Lines and it happened in prelims for 55 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 2: the ages. You would if you were going to advertise 56 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: AFL to any audience and show them two games. The 57 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: weekend was just an incredible example. The Pies sneaking home 58 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: by one point one point? How do they do that 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: again and again and again? Yeah? 60 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: Over gw Wes who I have to say, surprise packets 61 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: for me this final series. I mean I guess for 62 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: the season as well, but they just overperformed. I would 63 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: say it may not be a fair adjudication of what 64 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: they were able to do this season, but they came 65 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: so close, so close against the team that has been 66 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: largely tipped for the entire season to be the Premier. 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: It's like the champions. 68 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: We love the Orange Tsunami more the point I love 69 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: their social media team, however, is doing this. Instagram needs 70 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: a raise. That's going to happen. But Collingwood being in 71 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: a Granny just brings a level of villain because you 72 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: either support them or you don't. And the way they've 73 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: been playing recently, people have been getting on board. But 74 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: classically in Australian rules football, if you don't love Collingwood, 75 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: you only wish them poor things. 76 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: Yes, it's really interesting to me to come into that 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: dynamic being from Brisbane moving to Melbourne and having people 78 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: just either love or loathe this team. But the twenty 79 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: twenty three Magpies, the way that they play, the players 80 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: that they they're so. 81 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: Likable, they're so likable, Darcymore after his speech, the ANZAC 82 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: Day game could have run for Prime Minister and one 83 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: how overwhelmingly. 84 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: Yes, would have one like that. There is something about 85 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: this team. They'll be taking on the Lions, who defeated 86 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: Carlton on the weekend after a come from behind performance 87 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: and look, we were really on the blue Baggers badwagon 88 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: last year. Was down in the most Carlton of Carlton 89 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: things to do. They lost me. 90 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: Going da da da da da. I was like, well, 91 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: aren't we oracles? Literally they're going to do the unthinkable? 92 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: And then I have had tickets from my girlfriend here 93 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: and it was sent at five thirteen nine. I've timestamped 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: at five thirty nine pm on Saturday evening and there 95 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: was six minutes to go in the first quarter of 96 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: the Carlton Lions games. And she says, how can I 97 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: get GF tickets? Oh no, so she Carlton fans. If 98 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: you're looking for someone to blame, yeah, that was the Moles. 99 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: That was it. That was it, because they did, as 100 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: I said, overcome a five gold deficit to Carlton who 101 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: just shot out of the blocks to storm home to 102 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: a sixteen point win. So confidence would be high with 103 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: the Lions. However, there's the curse of the g Brisbane 104 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: had lost fourteen of their last fifteen games at the 105 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: home of football. 106 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: Not a great stat not a great stack. It's not 107 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: a great one. 108 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: Slightly different to the fact they didn't lose at the 109 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 2: gap of this year, so they liked playing at home. 110 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: The forecast is twenty eight degrees. That's good for them, 111 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: that is good for Brisbane, so it's a balmie g. 112 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 2: I don't know if temperature makes them feel differently about 113 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: going out there. Recent history was the Lions actually beat 114 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: Collingwood one hundred and twenty four to one hundred. That's good, 115 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: but that was at Marvel. Oh, so that was round 116 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: twenty three. Lions have a significant lack of Grand Final experience. 117 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: Unless Formerhawk Jack Gunston has recalled for the Granny, Josh 118 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 2: Dunkley will be the only Premiership player in the Lions squad. 119 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: It's the lions first Grand Final in nineteen years. 120 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: I remember at two thousand and four. I remember that game. 121 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: How old are you? 122 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, where's my mask? For thirteen? It's it's unbelievable 123 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: what's happening in Brisbane? And I mean it's my hometown. 124 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: So I might be slightly biased, but I'm just so 125 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: excited for what's ahead of them, and I hope that 126 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: they can enjoy this week. But the Lions, what they 127 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: need to do is figure out how to not get 128 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: stage fright because you can't have the scaredy line. It's 129 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: the Wizard of Old storyline. We can't have that, which 130 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: is what we saw in the first quarter against Carlton. 131 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: You cannot give the Collingwood Magpies five goals a five 132 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: goal hitster. 133 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: The wonderful thing and the exciting thing is you have 134 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: the two best teams all season and on their best day, 135 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: either could win, which is what you want? Which is 136 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: what you want? I genuinely don't know, and there's something 137 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: so exciting about that. It's Queensland versus Melbourne. 138 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: We are the pride. 139 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: Of Headline to Headland, they. 140 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: Twist enough and Catlan's men. 141 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 3: Complete an absolute humiliation? 142 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: Are the Aussies? 143 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: One of the more distressing things that you'll see in 144 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 2: Australian sport for a long time. It is the Allaby's 145 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: out of the World Cup in the group stages. For 146 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: the first time in tournament history. The word humiliation was 147 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: used there George, and it's accurate. The final score forty 148 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: to six against Wales. Now that comes after last week's 149 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: lost to Fiji for the first time in sixty nine years. 150 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: There are so many questions being asked of Eddie Jones 151 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: and his selection calls. He has very clearly gone for 152 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: a younger, less experience side and former Wallaby Drew Mitchell 153 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: had this to say on his podcast, and I think 154 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: it echoes what a lot of Wallaby's fans are thinking 155 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: right now. 156 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: Eddie Sincere and goes, yeah, it's my fault. I take 157 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: full response. Really, what does that mean though, Like he 158 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: doesn't get dropped this week, he's not not coaching next week, 159 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: Like it's just like an empty line in a press conference. Yeah, 160 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: I take full response. Really, Like what does that equate to, 161 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: like nothing? Why have you not selected Michael Hooper Quayed Cooper, Like, 162 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: come out and actually tell us as fans, why have 163 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: you not picked these guys? Because now we're seeing the result. 164 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: If you're not picking some of these guys. 165 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: I think we just lost our g rating. 166 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: More the point, I love that his voice is horse 167 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: because he's clearly been. 168 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: Screaming, screaming at the TV watching his beloved Wallabies. I 169 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: mean that is one of the most capped Wallabies. I 170 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: think he scored the most tries for the Wallabies in 171 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: a World Cup. Like this is a figure in Australian 172 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: rugby that's super respected and he is giving it to 173 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: the current wallerbes coach. 174 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: And in that clip that was recorded via podcast, because 175 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: I think you can only be that candid in a podcastcast, 176 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: he was wearing a Wallabies strip and you can tell 177 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: how much pain he's in watching his beloved team supposedly rebuild. 178 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: But we're not in a rebuild phase. 179 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: We're not in a rebuild phase. There's also you don't 180 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: rebuild going into a World Cup. You've had four years 181 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: to rebuild. This should be where you're built. You are 182 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: ready to go. You have a fully constructed team. And 183 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: what he is calling for there when it comes to 184 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: transparency is Eddie Jones. You know, he is a larger 185 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: than life figure. Love him, hate him. He is divisive, 186 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: but he was brought into this team to take them 187 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: to a World Cup, to steer them to a good performance. 188 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: And now we're going to have our worst performance ever 189 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: at this tournament. 190 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 2: Last week, Georgie, you said that rugby in Australia was 191 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: at a crossroads. Yes, they were standing at the crossroads 192 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: and just got hit by a bus. 193 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: They did, And the headlines are backing that up. Well, 194 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: there was one headline I saw this morning that literally 195 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: said the day Australian rugby was broken. This is it's 196 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: a failure. It's a huge, huge failure. 197 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: As Drew Mitchell said, where is Quaid? Where is Hooper? 198 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 2: Where are those experienced figures that can be like, come 199 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: on kids, like we've got a pulling together here. But 200 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: it is for me when I think about the Wallabies 201 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: growing up, I think of George Gregan I know, and 202 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: John Hills and household names in this country. And when 203 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: the Wallabies played, the pubs were full, and we want 204 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: to see it get back to that. But it looks 205 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: like a very very long road. 206 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 4: Headline three, it's the first time that Oscar Piastric picks 207 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: up a trophy, first rookie since lave strolled him back 208 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 4: you in twenty seventeen to finish up the podium. 209 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: Is it just me? 210 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: Or do commentators even in F one sound like aristocrats? 211 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: He sounded wealthy that like, didn't he? But that is 212 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: not our headline. 213 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: I had a cigar in one hand and a Kangnak 214 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: in the other. 215 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he and why wouldn't Oscar py Astri as well? 216 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: Though he's twenty two, so I don't know if Kgnak 217 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: is his thing. But the Aussie rookie has secured his 218 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: first podium in Formula one, finishing third at the Japanese 219 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: Grand Prix. Go you, Melbourne, and this. 220 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: Is huge, Like, this is massive. I mean Formula one 221 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: has just I mean we talk about resurgences. This is 222 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: the biggest growth in any sport I think in the world, 223 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: maybe bar the Matilda's that we've seen in the last 224 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: five years. 225 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: Drive to survive, Drive to survive. Yes, and the numbers 226 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: and the change in demographic that we've seen in the 227 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: Australian Grand Prix alone in terms of young women going, 228 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, they want to go watch Lando Norris 229 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: like it's just a different demographic and I must admit 230 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: I binged it ye hard. I was obsessed. 231 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: And hats off to the sport for letting that happen 232 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: because they're seeing the results now and to be able 233 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: to watch Oscar Piastre, you know, this baby faced kid 234 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: from Melbourne, and see him become kind of like the 235 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: new Daniel Ricardo, the new Mark Webber and have this 236 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: success in his first proper season in a car is 237 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: just is just huge. 238 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 2: You mentioned that he's a new Dan Riccardo who literally 239 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: replaced Riccardo at mccaren so. That works. He qualified second fastest, 240 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: ahead of his teammate Lando Norris. This is the part 241 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: of F one that I just couldn't do. Got the 242 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: call from Master Control saying let up to your teammate. 243 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: Let Lando through. So he was actually coming second behind 244 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: Maxrestappan and you met. 245 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: You couldn't do that. No, no, knock me down with 246 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: a feather. 247 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 2: Lando Norris had fresher tires, et cetera, et cetera. There's 248 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: a lot going on there. But just imagine being like, guys, guys, guys, 249 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: I'm doing it. I'm gonna get second. Can you please 250 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: just let Lando pass? 251 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: Mate? That wouldn't go down to Mario out with us. 252 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: You would turn around and ran me banana. What's a 253 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 2: ban I think we're done now? 254 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: Yes. Exactly three years ago to the day, Brisbane Bronco 255 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: staff arrived at their HQ and Redhill and were welcomed 256 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: by a unique site, something never seen in the club's 257 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: decorated history. Not one or two, or three or four, 258 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: but dozens of wooden spoons scattered haphazardly across their perfectly 259 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: manicured training ground. In video footage that I would not 260 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: have believed if I hadn't seen it myself. A man 261 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: in a blue T shirt hurries between the kitchen utensils, 262 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: struggling to hold them in all of his hands and 263 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: failing to erase the existence of them before anyone else sees. 264 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: The entire Brisbane media pack saw this cutlery. The night before, 265 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: the Brisbane Broncos had sealed the Wooden Spoon, last place 266 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: on the NRL Ladder for the first time ever in 267 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: their history. They'd been around since nineteen eighty eight, and 268 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: they lost to the North Queensland Cowboys that night, demoralizing 269 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: the hypothesis being that disgruntled fans came straight from lang 270 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: Park to Redhill threw the cutlery over the fence and 271 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: onto the field in revolt. Brisbane had only won three 272 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: games in twenty twenty, their coach Anthony Sebold, was sacked, 273 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: their players were despondent, the culture was broken and in 274 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: a one team town that is unforgivable. But jelmy, you 275 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: can't start a rebirth without a death, and September twenty five, 276 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty was, for all intents and purposes, the lowest 277 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: the Broncos. My Bronchos had ever been. The only way 278 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: was up. It wasn't a linear up. There were peaks 279 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: and troughs. The Glamour Club tried and failed to leure 280 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: champion coach Craig Bellamy away from the storm. 281 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: That was tough. 282 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: That was tough for Good as well. We settled. That's 283 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: really what it did feel like at the time for 284 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: a former great player, a premiership winning captain, a Broncos legend, 285 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Walters. We love Kevy, great guy, can maybe coach. 286 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: He'd done most of his apprenticeships over in the Super League, 287 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: but was also the Queensland coach from twenty sixteen to 288 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Four series, two series wins, two series losses, 289 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: so a pass mark. With Kevy in charge at Brisbane, 290 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: they went okay but not really, finishing fourteenth in twenty 291 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: twenty one. They then scooped up playmaker Adam Reynolds in 292 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: the off season, who'd been discarded by his beloved South 293 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: Sydney Lo Lo lo lo lol. How'd that work out? 294 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: Rabbit Os and got to work rebuilding properly. Younger players 295 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: were recruited and blooded, and the team finished ninth in 296 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. But twenty twenty three, it may be 297 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: the year of the Rabbit, but I'll tell you right 298 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: now it's actually the year of Reese Walsh Ezra man As. 299 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: I could have sworn you about to say the year 300 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: at the Bronco. 301 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: That would be too simple. And indeed, the man who 302 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: brought them all together, Kevin Walters, because they are in 303 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: their first Grand Final since twenty fifteen, as clear as 304 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: day as this beanie on the top of my head. 305 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: And if the Broncos can win against the Panthers next Sunday, 306 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: the kevolution will be complete. So how do they do it? 307 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: On a scale of one to ten? Yep, give me 308 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: your level of just is anxiety? Is it excitement? What 309 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: are you feeling this week? Because, dear listener, when Georgie 310 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: watches the Broncos, there is an alter ego. Yes, it 311 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: comes out, yes, and this sweet, kind, caring human being 312 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: becomes borderline feral. 313 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: That's right, That's right. I was full feral. Yeah this weekend. Yep, 314 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: if you bleed Maron I do, I do so for context, 315 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: dear listener, I growing up was Brisbane Bronco's member for 316 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: thirteen years. I would go to the games every single 317 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: weekend with my dad and this team. I have grown 318 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: up with them. It's been so hard the last five 319 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: years to find anything to get excited about, to cling 320 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: to the hope. It just has been non existent. We 321 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: have been When I say the players were despondent, that's 322 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: like a reflection of the fans, because the fans booed them. 323 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: The fans wood and spoons Wooden spoons at the class. 324 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: And again this was in twenty twenty. 325 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only three years ago that this all happened, 326 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Like Wooden Spooner is in twenty twenty to fourteenth to 327 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: ninth to finish second and now hopefully win the whole thing. 328 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: So from your perspective, what has changed in that. 329 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: Growth it literally is the evolution. So it is a 330 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: complete cleaning out of what was going on behind the scenes. 331 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: So new coach, new CEO. And that's not saying necessarily 332 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: anything was wrong with the old one, but it had 333 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: been in place for a long time. Like when you 334 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: talk about Glamor Clas in the NRL, the Brisbane Broncos 335 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: is the Collingwood of the NRL. Got you like, they 336 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: have that much gravitas and when they are winning, nothing 337 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: else matters when they are losing. Nothing else matters, okay, 338 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: because it's just that is how intrinsically they are linked 339 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: with people's feelings there And. 340 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 2: When you talk about glamour clubs, we know across all 341 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: codes there tends to be one player above all others 342 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 2: that he's elevated to a demi god like status. Yes, 343 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: and that is the Harry Styles of the NRL in 344 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: Reese Walsh. Yes, how good is he? 345 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: He is the best player I have seen in ten years, 346 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: with no exaggeration, and I include Nathan Cleary in that. 347 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: Wow. 348 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: He is the most exciting player I have seen probably 349 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: in more than ten years. He is the fastest player 350 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: I have seen in the last decade. He is the 351 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: type of player that you cannot coach. Reese Walsh has 352 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: this next level of He's got anticipation, he can read 353 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: the game. He is just his blistering speed that is 354 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: unlike you cannot beat speed, you cannot, you can't be replicated. 355 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: And all of that is packaged in a bloke that 356 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 2: looks like he could be in one direction. 357 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: He honestly is a pop star, like he is a 358 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: rock star of the NRL. And that was I actually 359 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: got emotional watching on the weekend. It was the Billy 360 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: Walters try who will get to the whole father son 361 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: dynamic coming up? But it was Billy Walter's scoring, but 362 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: it came from a Reswalsh break and I can only 363 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: say that he would have clocked like some usane bolt 364 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: speeds to get this line break and he passed it 365 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: back on the inside Billy Walter's scores and it was 366 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: the slow mo replay because they're kids, They're just kid. 367 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: Reswolsh is twenty one, Billy Walter's is you know, twenty something, 368 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: and Ezra Mam I think is twenty who's the five eighth? 369 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: And it was the three of them just like standing 370 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: up and it was all in slow mo and they 371 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: were just like God's and the crowd was just going wild, 372 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: and I was like, these are just kids having. 373 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: Fun, but are you also going sign them? Sign them? Now, 374 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 2: sign them for ten years. 375 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: I am for Reswolsh because he actually fun fact is 376 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: on a bar a bargain contract, so he was with 377 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: the Warriors last year. I think we got him on 378 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: a two year deal for about four hundred grand, which 379 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: you know. 380 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: Is about a dollar for every Instagram follower. 381 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: He honestly, honestly though, so like the Broncos are there 382 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: just counting their pennies getting the advocates out, and. 383 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: He saw the player. He's the future. Everyone has his 384 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 2: number on the back of their guns. 385 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: Oh, there are fans that are lying down in front 386 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: of the team. Buses stop because they don't want the 387 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: bus to move, because they want to see Reese Welsh. 388 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: There are thousands of fans going to their training sessions 389 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: because they want to see Reese Welsh. Roads are being 390 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: closed so that fans can get into, like access the facility, 391 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: so they can see Rees Welsh. Over the weekend. They 392 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: put up letter boxes outside the stadium so that you 393 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: could write, like a little note to your favorite player, like. 394 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: Getting weathers. At this point, it's I've not seen anything 395 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 2: like it, and. 396 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's because, you know, I didn't 397 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: grow up with Instagram, I didn't grow up with the 398 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: social media. But now that that exists, he is. There's 399 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: no better way to say it, Harry. Styles of the. 400 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 2: NRL, Well, the only comparison I can to afl is 401 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: Nick Dakos had a book signing this week or didn't 402 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 2: appearance this week, and there was five hundred people that 403 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: lined up to get his signature. Yeah, but that's nothing 404 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 2: on someone lying down in front of a bus. Imagine going, 405 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: I'm willing to sacrifice my life unless you give me walshit. 406 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: But think think Nick Dakos, but think he had a 407 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: bit of you know, Jordan to go edge to him. 408 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: That's Reese Welsh. Like Reese Walsh. You can love him 409 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: and hate him, but everyone would want him on their team, 410 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: got you. Like he has been suspended for swearing at referees. 411 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: He has been and missed an Origin game for doing that. 412 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 2: Well, teen girls hate a bad boy exactly lying in 413 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: front of a bus. 414 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: Exactly Like he's the tattered up, beautiful green eyes, the 415 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: fastest thing you've ever seen, and he is who the 416 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: club needs to build everything on. And honestly, it's made 417 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: me excited about footy again. So I'm just thrilled. I'm 418 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: trying to enjoy the week. I've had fourteen different personality 419 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: changes in the space of forty eight hours, where I'll 420 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: be like, oh my gosh, let's enjoy Grand Final week. 421 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: It's hard to get here, you know, we haven't been 422 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: in one since twenty fifteen. Let's just enjoy it, and 423 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: then like the next second, I'll be like, Okay, but seriously, 424 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: what happens if we lose? No, we can't lose. We 425 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: must win. We'll have to win. We're definitely not losing, 426 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: We're winning, and then it'll be like this, just enjoy 427 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: it is. 428 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 2: The push and pull of every fan when their team 429 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: makes it to the big dance. You want to be 430 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: elated that you got there, and then it's so close, 431 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: the ecstasy and the agony. 432 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I can't enjoy it. It's like this is all 433 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: that I've wanted and now I'm like, who wants this pain? 434 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: Who wants this terror? Who wants this anticipation? Like it's 435 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: I guess is why you play sport and why you 436 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: watch sport. 437 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: But honestly, you can honestly draw parallels as to people 438 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 2: being like why would you fall in love? Honestly your 439 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 2: heart can be broken, but oh the highs Like that 440 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 2: is what sport means to Australians, and particularly this week 441 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 2: because as the siren sounds on both Saturday and Sunday 442 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: and their respective codes, there are going to be grown 443 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: adults crying. Yes, it'll simultaneously, and that will be from 444 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 2: extreme joy or from it extreme pain. And I think 445 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: we've established it. The Broncos are playing in the Grand Park. 446 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: The Broncs are playing. They plays a little known team 447 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: they've got set up. 448 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: Do we have time? And this is the headline that 449 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: really got me and I mention it to you and 450 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: you said, that's perfect. The Brisbane Penrith NRL Grand Final 451 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: is a clash meeting between the unstoppable force and the 452 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 2: immovable object. Correct, the Broncos being the unstoppable force, youthful 453 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: enthusiasm stars, they're just rock stars. They're young kids. They're 454 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 2: having a crack. It's a evolution. But they come up 455 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: against the Panthers. They have gone back to back to 456 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: now they are undisputedly the best team in the competition. 457 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Yes they are, and I say that with a Broncos 458 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: spanie on top my head. They are the best team 459 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: in the competition and they have been for the last 460 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: four years. 461 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: And they don't look like slowing down. They have young 462 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: talent coming through. It's not like when you see dynasties 463 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 2: in the AFL and you're like, yeah, but I can 464 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 2: see you know, this is their era and that will 465 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: pass and these players are going they've just got young 466 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: talent coming through. Sorry, George, I feel like I feel 467 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: like I had to do this because you were being 468 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 2: capable this week. But the only again, according to this article, 469 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 2: the only team in the NRL with a prayer of 470 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: breaking down Penroy's iron will and suffocating defense is Brisbane again. 471 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: Correct, It is because the Panthers are such a well 472 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: oiled machine. They know their systems, they have trained for 473 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: it to the nth degree. Ivan Cleary, their coach, is 474 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: a mastermind. Each completely revolutionized that club and put it 475 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: into the stratosphere when it comes to achievements in the game, 476 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: and made them the team to beat. His son, Nathan Cleary, 477 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: is the playmaker. 478 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: Can you imagine being coached by your dad? Yeah? 479 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're not talking it. 480 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: I was kick Can you imagine being missus Cleary and 481 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 2: being like Ivan and Nathan had a tough day at work. 482 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 2: Better call my son than called like It's It's just 483 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: it's rare. I can't think of when have you ever 484 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 2: been coached by your dad and not had other players 485 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: be like, well, there's some preferential treatment. I know. 486 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: And the best thing is that we're seeing it for 487 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: both the Broncos and the Panthers because keV and his 488 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: son Billy are playing, and then Ivan and then Nathan 489 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: of course, but this is something we don't usually see 490 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: in league. We see it all the time, do we 491 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: see it all the time? The father's son see we see. 492 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 2: Father's son as in you after your dad has played 493 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: one hundred games and I think in AFLW it's twenty games. 494 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: You qualify then to be able to select that you 495 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: would like to go to that club. So that's father's 496 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: son rules. So that's where you see the day Cosses 497 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: opt in Silvanni. There's a lot of things and it 498 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 2: means a lot to a lot of people. I cannot 499 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: think of how bizarre it would be to have a 500 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: Grand Final where there's a family tree of a dad 501 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 2: and a son on both sides. 502 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember so the two thousand Grand Final, which 503 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: was the last, oh second last premiership. We wont in 504 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: two thousand and six as well, but was the first 505 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: premiership that I saw as a kid. I was nine, 506 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: I started watching rugby league and nine so it was 507 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: my first year in league and we won the company. 508 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: I's like, gosh, this is easy, this winning premierships thing. 509 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: And I remember seeing Kevin Walters he was playing for 510 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: the Broncos at the time, and I remember him holding 511 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: his son Bill. So there is footage of that. And 512 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: now they're going into a Grand Final twenty three years 513 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: later with Billy at hooker number nine and Kevy is 514 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: the coach. Like it's wild, it's wild that this is happening. 515 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: And we need to discuss Nathan Cleary. Oh yeah, okay, 516 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: because if not for Reese Walsh, he is the rock 517 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 2: star of the league. 518 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: He is he one thousand percent is Before Reese Walsh, 519 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: he was on every single billboard that you could possibly get. 520 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean he still is. 521 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: He's on all of them, just not in Queensland. 522 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: Just not in Queensland. Not in Queensland. He is one 523 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: of the most marketable people in the game because he 524 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: is that good. He was from the get go. 525 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: I'm the best player in the competition and he performs 526 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 2: in origin as well. Yes, yes, and so on the 527 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 2: big stage he always delivers. 528 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: And so this is the thing when it comes to 529 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: the two teams, the experience of Penrith, like they're going 530 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: into their fourth straight Grand Final. 531 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, versus they don't book holidays in September versus the Broncos, 532 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: who haven't been in a finals series for the last 533 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 2: three or four years. Okay, that doesn't sound as long 534 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: as what we're just talking about Brisbane when it was 535 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: a little bit different, when it's nearly two decades for 536 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: the Lions. Yeah. 537 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just I mean, the Penrith Panthers are 538 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: the best team in the competition because they can attack 539 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: and they can defend the iron wall of defense. But 540 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: I stand by what you said in that article. Brisbane 541 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: is the only team that could beat them because they 542 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: can pull off magic that you cannot defend. 543 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: And you cannot coach. 544 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: And you cannot coach, you just need like Keevy this week, 545 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: I want to know what he's doing because he's probably 546 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: just like, guys, you got this, go forth be you. 547 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean, people would say it's arrogance, because I'm a 548 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: Broncos fan. I think it's endearing confidence around the players 549 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: where they are just like they invite the attention, They 550 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: invite everyone talking about them, like Reese Walsh plays to 551 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: the crowd. They all do because they want that. They 552 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: feed eat off it. The thing that impressed me on 553 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: the weekend was they're inviting all of that attention. They're 554 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: inviting all of that scrutiny, and when they make a mistake, 555 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: they're like goldfish. Honestly, they like forget. And it's this 556 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: exuberance of youth and that's what's got me on the 557 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: train instead of Yeah, they're literally they're not like, oh God, 558 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: thinking about it as I would for like the next 559 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 1: fourteen years, fourteen seconds ago. 560 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 2: That's what's defined as a sports psychiatrist dream. All they're 561 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 2: trying to do is get their players to be in 562 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: the moment, and they do it just because they're young. Yeah. 563 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing. You've got one of the 564 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: best football brains in the game, Nathan Cleary, going up 565 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: against the goldfish of the NRL. 566 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 2: Can you explain to me again, I'm going to draw 567 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: parallels to AFL, particularly because it's the Grand Final this week. 568 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 2: We have Collingwood, the biggest club, the glamour club. Yes, 569 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: incredibly successful, powerful, wealthy, all of those things. Yes, but 570 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 2: Collingwood is in the Grand Final this week against Brisbane 571 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: and a lot of Melbournians will adopt Brisbane hoping to 572 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 2: see Collingwood lose. Yes. When we then take that to 573 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: the NRL will Cowboys fans will other Queenslanders that don't 574 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 2: support the Broncos get on board? Do they encapsulate the 575 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 2: whole state? Or is it you either love them or 576 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 2: you hate them. It's the latter, Okay. 577 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: I would like to say it was the former, and 578 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: that the state of Queensland will get around them like 579 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: an Origin series. 580 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: It's not the case. 581 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: It's not really the case. Like Cowboys fans can hate 582 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: Brisbane Broncos fans and so same with the Gold Coast Titans. 583 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: But but a caveat, I think that they're all united 584 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,239 Speaker 1: in their hatred of Penrith. More so they might by 585 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: default just want Brisbane to win because they don't want 586 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: Brisbane to win, they want the Panthers to lose. 587 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: Got you. 588 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's like the Collingwood in the NRL in 589 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: terms of just like, you know, you just hate them 590 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: as a team is manly or has traditionally been manly. 591 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: So that's like the most hated team in the NL 592 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: unless you're a Manley fan. So Penrith don't engender that 593 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: kind of dislike. But because they've had such prolonged success 594 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: for such a long period of time, people are like 595 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: is it changing of. 596 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 2: The girl or at all poppy. Well, it's like it's 597 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: like in recent memory, it's like Richmond, they win their 598 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: first lag, around's like that's exciting. They get to like 599 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: their third and it's like, ohf love God. Like, yeah, 600 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: if you're not with them, you're against them. 601 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so I will be watching this weekend. I 602 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: actually don't know how I'm going to co like I honestly, 603 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: you've watched a game with me? 604 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: No, I have, and but never never to this gravity 605 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: and yeah, so just dear listener. Georgie currently has a 606 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 2: beanie and a suitcase in the room because for her 607 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: other side job, this is our main job, but for 608 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: her other side job they are sending her up to 609 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: Queensland to be the Queensland Correspondence, so this has basically 610 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 2: been research for the rest of her week. 611 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: That's right. 612 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: I love that you get to do what you love 613 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 2: for a job. Some people get to say that and 614 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: they don't really mean it. I know, I get to 615 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: go to Brisbane and covers. 616 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: And literally and then and then go cover the lions 617 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: and just feed off all the energy that is because 618 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: in all seriousness, this is wild, Like will we ever 619 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: see two Brisbane teams in the Grand Final. There's a 620 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: chance that they could neither could win, but we're not 621 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: focusing on that. 622 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: We jokingly but also not to say, is Brisbane the 623 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 2: sporting capital of the world right now? 624 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: I actually. 625 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: NRL And then they've got the games coming up. 626 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a strong chance. 627 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: I think Paris, who currently have the Rugby World Cup 628 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: and the next Olympics, would be like, hold my beer. 629 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: But but never let the truth get in the way 630 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: of a our own exaggeration. Not that we do in 631 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: this room. But and again we know, we know that 632 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: this has been very Brisbane skewed. But this is the 633 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 2: thing that blows my mind about rugby league is that 634 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: I grew up in a big state that are obsessed 635 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: with sport, do not have a rugby league team. 636 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't. 637 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: It's weird. 638 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: The literacy doesn't go national. 639 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 2: It'sat is a weird fraction, not a position in a 640 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 2: sporting car like and again I love watching Origin mostly 641 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: because you can see how insane the fans. It's tribalism, yeah, 642 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: it is tribalism, and tribalism that you usually see in 643 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: football in Europe. Yes, is the only thing that you 644 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: can apply that to Australian sport is state of origin 645 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 2: and yet it's two states. When I moved to Sydney, 646 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: someone said let's try it out football and I went, yeah, great. 647 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 2: Went to the pub and it was Raiders Titans and 648 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 2: I went pardon. I remember watching Sunrise as a kid 649 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: and they would be like, who are the Cowboys? This 650 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 2: looks exotic because it's just it doesn't permeate. And that's 651 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,959 Speaker 2: why I've fully taken a back seat in this one 652 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: and been like, tell me what I care about, because 653 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: while I don't watch the home and away season, it 654 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 2: does come to the Grand Final and I want to 655 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 2: know what are the storylines. And I feel that you 656 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 2: have very aptly, with some further dejectivity to the Broncos, 657 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 2: given us a picture of what we're looking to see. 658 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: The Broncos who have had the evolution yes from Wooden 659 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 2: Spooners in twenty twenty to Penrith who have a chance 660 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: to go back to back to back and have no 661 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 2: sign of stopping. And like in the AFL, we are 662 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: seeing the two best sides all season go head to head. 663 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: But the rock Stars that you need to look at 664 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 2: Cleary Walsh father so father son. Yes, Georgie crying ideally 665 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: with security around her. 666 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: So she came in crying up.
