00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: you know, all around sort of different rugby union teams.

45
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: We all came together and there's so much support for

46
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: the game here which is fantastic and we you know,

47
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: as former Wallaby players and I now commentate on TV

48
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 4: for the rugby and we need to try and find

49
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: that next Curtly Bill great indigenous boy went to Saint

50
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: Joseph's College in Sydney and there's plenty of talent here.

51
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: We're just believe we've just got to be able to

52
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: try and nurture the talent and bring them through then

53
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: also take them back to whether it's the East Coast

54
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: of Australia, put them be in program so it gives

55
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: them that platform.

56
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so how did the training clinic go yesterday?

57
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: And what else have you got on with the school kids?

58
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great.

59
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: So I went to Harlemburry yesterday the school we went

60
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: to and spoke to the kids there out of the

61
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: different programs, the Stars program and the and what what

62
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: that was great for it was be able to sort

63
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: of talk to the kids about the opportunity that they

64
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: have at the school and to be able to grow that.

65
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: And I think that, you know, you're so much talent

66
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: up here at the school. So doing that, you know,

67
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 4: I went and spoke to the Santos team this morning.

68
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 4: So it's just more of going to different schools and

69
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 4: going to Casualina High this afternoon. So just about to

70
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 4: go and talk to the kids about leadership. What I

71
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 4: found in leadership and I was probably just trying to

72
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: spread that word of who the Wallabies are, rebunion team,

73
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: what rugby is about, and team sport, and I just.

74
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: Reckon it's so important too for you know, for kids

75
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: that are that way inclined when it comes to sport,

76
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: sort of teaching them what sport, what opportunities arise from

77
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: sport in different ways, you know, whether you're talking about

78
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: it sort of being on a grassroots.

79
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Level where you meeting.

80
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: New people, learning what it's like to be part of

81
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: a team, or then you know, for those who actually

82
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: go away and get to represent the territory or get

83
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: to represent different you know, different teams, how exciting it

84
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: is and how you get to meet new people and

85
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: have different opportunities.

86
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I spoke, you know, as I said,

87
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 4: the Stars Foundation and the Clontar Foundation yesterday at the

88
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: school was and all the Indigenous kids that were there,

89
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: fantastic kids got you know, their eyes are just wide

90
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: open about the opportunities that they have. And I'm saying

91
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: to them, I don't be shy. I go and go

92
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: and play teen sports, going you know and being from

93
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: put your hand up to speak in front of people

94
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: so they get more confidence in their life.

95
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: And then that's the same in team sport.

96
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: If you're a team sport, you have to turn up

97
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: the training otherwise you're letting other people down. So you know,

98
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: I played for the Wallabies for about twelve years, traveled

99
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: the world, you know, went to Buckingham Palace, met the Queen,

100
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: all those things, men Nelson Mandela in South Africa, all

101
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: those leaders that you come across in time. You had

102
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: the great opportunity to have a chat to Princess Diana

103
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: many years ago when she sort of presented our jerseys

104
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: prior to a Test in Wales.

105
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: So I've ever imagined, like when you're a young kid,

106
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: could you have ever imagined that you'd get to have

107
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: those kind of opportunities through playing sport?

108
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Not? Not really, No, I mean I grew up in

109
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: a place called Timba, so familiar with.

110
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

111
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: So I grew up in timber and going to school there,

112
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden then you move to the

113
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 4: Big Smoke in Brisbane and virtually a year out of

114
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 4: school on playing, you know, as a nineteen year old

115
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: playing against a side called the All Blacks and they're

116
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: doing this harker in front of you and you're don't

117
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: really know what's going on. All of a sudden, you're

118
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: traveling the world representing your country. Not just I find

119
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 4: it was great, but you were representing not just the

120
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: people and friends and family or past players you've played with,

121
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 4: but you're representing people who would one love to play

122
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 4: in an Australian team, but two don't get the opportunity

123
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: and they maybe on a tractor in Longridge or they

124
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 4: maybe somewhere in Roma or and you know, listen to

125
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: the radio or watch the TV when the Wallabies play.

126
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 4: So that's that's the great feeling we get at it

127
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: when we used to play the game.

128
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what's really fantas tastic, you know, as

129
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: the years progress here in the territory is whether you're

130
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 2: talking about rugby union, whether you're talking about league or AFL,

131
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: that there's those pathways that are being built now for

132
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: kids that do have the talent to be able to

133
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: sort of travel away if they need to, or stay

134
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: here and try to pursue those sports.

135
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

136
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 4: I think Ozzie RULs has been great, but that the footage,

137
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: those footy codes have done a great jobs. There's so

138
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: much talent here and rugby union. You know, we need

139
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: to do better. We need to find those you know,

140
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: Curtly Bill played HEAPO test matches for the Wallabies, and

141
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: I think there's not many. There's probably only been I

142
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: think ten or twelve indigenous players that have played for

143
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: the Wallaby So we need to find more and find

144
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: them around that Orden territory, bring them and put them

145
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: in decent programs and give them those opportunities because as

146
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 4: I said, there's a lot of talent. So and then

147
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: they get the chance to travel the world. You look

148
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: at you know, the Olympics. Hopefully the Olympics are going

149
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: to be on later this year. And the Australian women's

150
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: sevens team won the gold medal at the last Olympics,

151
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: so that the massive expansion of girls playing rugby huge

152
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: in other sports in AFL as well, and I was

153
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 4: kicking things, but rugby union women's sevens. I think it's

154
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: a third or fourth fastest growing sport in the world

155
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 4: now there's so many kids playing it.

156
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's.

157
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: Wonderful see the girls out there. You know, when I

158
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: was a kid, I was only allowed to play touch football.

159
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 3: I wasn't I.

160
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: Cringe sometimes when they get tackled, and I wouldn't better

161
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: take that to the hit. It's great because mums and

162
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: dads now get the option. There's so many sports that

163
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 4: they can put their boil girl into. And even last

164
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 4: night at training there was a heap of girls. There's

165
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 4: probably a third that's all sound that was there with girls.

166
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: Fantastic and great to see. Yeah, yeah, hey, I know

167
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: that you. You always enjoy getting to the territory. You're

168
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: saying to me all fair that you are very keen

169
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: next time you're here to try and catch a barra.

170
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: Do you know we've got the one million.

171
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: Dollar I saw the sign when I came in. So

172
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: I love my barrow fishing. I go all the time,

173
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: and I usually goatas at a weeper and bameager and

174
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 4: those sort of places at the top of coinsland. But

175
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: I've never fished up here and dar and so I

176
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: should have stayed this weekend, but I probably wouldn't have

177
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 4: had a wife. After he came back on the Sunday.

178
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: I've been here before days, but I'll have to organize

179
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: it next. I want to catch a one meter bart.

180
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: I've caught three around ninety two to ninety three centimators.

181
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: So I need to catch that one meter bat.

182
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: He's the place to do it.

183
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: About the million dollars, I just want one.

184
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: Meter bar one. You've got a busy year this year.

185
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: You've just signed on as I understand what you've been

Speaker 2: doing work with Fox Sports and Channel nine now as

187
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: well as that.

188
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: So Fox Sports used to have the rights to the

189
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: broadcast rugby Union and now Channel nine will broadcast rugby

190
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: Union and also what's called STAN Sports. So a lot

191
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: of people at home, have you Netflix and have you

192
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: stand so Stan it's about ten dollars a month and

193
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: now Stand Sports and extra ten dollars a month for

194
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: people to one watch all these different rugby Union games

Speaker 1: Sports as well through Stan Sports.

197
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 4: So so Channel line through probably a nine gem will

198
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: show a rugby game three to Wear on a Saturday

199
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 4: night of Super Rugby and all the other test matches.

200
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: And the great thing about that is it's going to

201
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: put more eyeballs on the game, more people watch Free

202
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: to Wear, and hopefully more boys and girls you know,

203
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: start picking up the rugby ball and playing, which is fantastic.

204
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: So that's what we're looking forward to. You know, I

205
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 4: think the game of rugby's growing, but it's sort of

206
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: there's a few people that may have fallen out of

207
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 4: love with the game.

208
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: We've got to get them to fall back in love.

209
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think it's a good idea.
