Hopefully, you know, 29 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 3: get through this one one session. But yeah, I reckon 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: they're going to be a top four team. Goldie. 31 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: Well, I looked pretty good on the weekend. 32 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: And they've got they've got stars and telling everywhere, that's 33 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: for sure. So yeah, I think they're going to be 34 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 3: a very good team. I think they're going to go 35 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: deep into the finals this year, and it'd be a 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: good udit for us to see we're at. 37 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: Where will we most likely see you playing this season? 38 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: Probably everywhere, to be honest, hopefully playing happy, healthy, just 39 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 3: enjoying being out there helping the young kids get through. 40 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: And just going to say, because obviously you you know, 41 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: it's such a young team at the Eagles, they're going 42 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: to need you in various places, just as mental really. 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, I think that's that's probably the aime 44 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: really so yeah as much. Yeah, yeah, that's that's my job. Now, 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: that's my role. A bit of a bit of a 46 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: wise old head even though I'm thirty two going on thirteen, 47 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 3: But it's still Yeah, it's still fun to be out 48 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: there and as much as I can help, that's that's 49 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: basically my role. 50 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Oscar Allen of course left at the end of 51 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: the year. And there are two two captains co captains 52 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: and they're both Liams, Liam Duggan and Liam Baker. Is 53 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: that is that two Liams or a Liam I or what? 54 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: What? How do we. 55 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Plural of two Liams? 56 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 57 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: Wow, well liams? 58 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. You could make it sound like 59 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: a law firm, Liam and Liam. 60 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Liam, there's a few that sound like law firms. 61 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: Your new recruits sound like a law firm. 62 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: Cooper, Yeah, there's a few. There's a few in there. 63 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: Yes, no other recruits. 64 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: They're good. Yeah, there's some good talent come through this year, 65 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: which is really good. Desmo. I think it's going to 66 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: play a fair few games early on, and then from 67 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: that point on, I think he's feel like he's got 68 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 3: some very good talent that can, you know, make him 69 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: get to the point where we'll play two hundred games. 70 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: So that's my sort of perception. I think Coop as 71 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 3: well is he's going to be a very good ruckman, 72 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: and obviously he needs a little bit of time, like 73 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 3: they all do. But then Josh Lindsay as well is 74 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: very silky with his skills. So yeah, we've got some 75 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: really good recruits. For Eddie Rodriguez, I feel like he's 76 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: going to be a good player as well, hard at 77 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: it in an under type. So he's just coming back 78 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: from injury, but I think, you know, he'll show some 79 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: people as well what he's got. 80 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: So we lost Oscar to queenslamb but we're getting someone 81 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: back because two time Brisbane Premiership player Brandon Brandon Startsvich's back. 82 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: I know, playing first up now. 83 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: Very good player himself, a bit of an injury, but 84 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: like you he'll be a great mentor for that young. 85 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: Team absolutely, and then as well the experience that he 86 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: brings as well for the back line, what he be 87 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: able to see for the game, to be able to 88 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: help the younger kids and everyone on the team in 89 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: general as well. It's going to be so so helpful 90 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: for us going forward. So yeah, great great acquisition by 91 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: the football club. 92 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: In a nutshell, if you can, what is the realistic 93 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: goal for the Eagles this season. 94 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: To win more games than last year? How many last year? 95 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: Just the one, just the one, all right, So we're 96 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: going for two or more. Plenty more, yeah, plenty more. Look, Yeah, 97 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: it'd be great to get a fair few games under 98 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: the belt and win a few as well. I think 99 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 3: that that will help give us some confidence going forward. 100 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 3: And I feel like we're on the right track as well, 101 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 3: So it'll give us a good amount of confidence knowing 102 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: that we're on the right track going forward, and the 103 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 3: younger group as well. 104 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: And just to get those commentators going. I think they've 105 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: turned the corner. They're on their way up. If you 106 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: can have people saying that at the end of the season. 107 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, just to be competitive and in games of football, 108 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, that's all that we sort 109 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: of asked. There was a few games last year where 110 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: we weren't doing that, and that's that's very hard and 111 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: that's also a hard watch for the fans as well. 112 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: So as long as we're competitive, putting our best forward 113 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 3: every week and keeping the fans proud, that's all the manus. 114 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: Well, it kicks off or bounces down, off, throws up, 115 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: throwing up at three ten three ten is a bounced 116 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: down slash throw up on the Gold Coast. Good luck, comment. 117 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: Cheers, We're all counting on you. Sorry mate, I get 118 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: through that training session today.
