We'll chat to nerl W player for the 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: North Queensland Cowboys, Kira Dib, who was instrumental in the 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: team's win over the Newcastle Knights on the weekend.

It was bloody incredible. Two 36 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: goals to Hailey Razzo. She was just on fire all 37 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: night long, a Mary Fowler goal and then Steph Catley 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: she did it again. She stepped up and drained a 39 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: penalty goal to finish our the win. The Tillies will 40 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: now face either Denmark or England. They're going to play Monday, 41 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: August seventh at Stadium Australia at eight thirty pm AEST. 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: So you're there in football last Thursday night in Brisbane 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: held so much promise, but what should have been a 44 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: celebration of the Matilda's securing their place in the knockout 45 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: stages ended in a shock three two defeat at the 46 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 2: hands of world number forty Nigeria in front of fifty 47 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: thousand people in Brisbane. The Matildas just couldn't convert their 48 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: dominance when it mattered and are now needing a result 49 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: against Olympic champs Canada. 50 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: To progress out of the group stage. 51 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: So that match we played tonight we record on Mondays, 52 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: so hopefully we'll have some awesome news on socials for 53 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: you all at about nine pm this evening. 54 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: I'm stressed the Tillies. It is stressful. 55 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: Attillies took the lead just before halftime when Emily van 56 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: Egman converted some of the relentless press of the team 57 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: and been applying, but that lead was rubbed out when 58 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 2: Nigeria scored only minutes later in the dying stages of 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: stoppage time. That was probably a really kind of disappointing 60 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: aspect of that match that we scored and then let 61 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: them score straight away afterwards. 62 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed to be I don't know if it 63 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: was the home pressure of the tournament or what it 64 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: was that there almost seemed to be a couple of 65 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: moments defensively where we kind of switched off and it 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: really cost us against a very athletic side. 67 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, they Nigeria really stepped up a year in the 68 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 2: second half and they scored two more goals before aln 69 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: of Kennedy clawed one back deep into second half stoppage time. 70 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: So Tony Gus Darsen received a fair wack of criticism 71 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: after the match, with plenty of people suggesting he should 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: have gone to the bench a lot earlier than the 73 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: eighty second minute. I was probably one of those I 74 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: thought he he just didn't. I think we were chasing 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: the game and we probably needed to make a few 76 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: changes earlier than that. He made the first sub at 77 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: that time when the Tillies were down three to one, 78 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: bringing on a clear polkinghorn and moving a lone of 79 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: Kennedy upfront. The move eventually paid off, but ultimately it 80 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: was too little, too late. Poor Matilda's player Amy Chapman 81 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: said on up to Sport chidiac really made a difference. 82 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 2: We really needed that fifteen minutes earlier and as we said, 83 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: with these numbers. 84 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Oh, I just was going to say, Chids brought a 85 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: huge amount of energy out there in a real sense 86 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: of urgency. I felt like Ellie Carpenter also brought that. 87 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: But it was kind of a bit of a weird 88 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: feeling that some of them almost seemed a little bit 89 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: shell shocked about the fact that they were losing. I 90 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: had kind of you could sense it from kids and 91 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: Ellie Carpenter. You kind of wanted everyone to get up 92 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: and about and move faster. 93 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. 94 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: And this is just some numbers that showed what the 95 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: dominance was like. The Matilda's had twenty eight shots to eleven, 96 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: fifteen corners to two, four hundred and sixty seven passes 97 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: to two hundred and seventy twenty seven final third entries 98 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: to six and forty three touches in the opposition box 99 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: to fifteen. That's just you know, those numbers are huge. 100 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: It's just unfortunately they couldn't, you know, score when they 101 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: needed to. 102 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: In swimming, the Aussies have lit up the pool in Fukuoka, Japan. 103 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: They finished with an incredible thirteen gold, seven silver, and 104 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: five bronze for a total of twenty five medals. 105 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: This stat is so cool. 106 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: It's the first time since the nineteen fifty six Olympic 107 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: Games in Melbourne that Australia has topped the u USA 108 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: in a medal tally at an international meat. It's a 109 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: long time coming and it's a pretty bloody cool stat. 110 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: Although have you seen there's a bit of conjecture out 111 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: of the USA started to report the metal tally on 112 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: total number of medals one not gold. 113 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: When does that ever happen? Gold's always the column that 114 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: determines it, is it not? 115 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 5: Well? 116 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: Apparently when it suits USA swimming its total number of 117 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: medals and not just gold. 118 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: Course, it is the Queen of swimming on her back, 119 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: as we like to call her, Kayleye McEwan. One gold 120 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: in the fifty meter backstroke to go with her gold 121 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: in the one hundred meters from two nights earlier, and 122 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: then just around out the domination, McEwan completed a rare 123 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: triple when she again proved too strong for her rival 124 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: American Reagan Smith in the two hundred meters. She finished 125 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: in two minutes three point eighty five, more than a 126 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: second in front of Smith. She began the first swimmer 127 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: to complete the elusive backstroke treble at the World Championships 128 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: and was rightfully named female swimmer of the meat. Has 129 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: another swimmer done it in a different stroke the travel. 130 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: The Chinese breaststroker male did it at the same meet, 131 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: and he was the first swimmer to do it. 132 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, so did she come in a close second 133 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: place after him? 134 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: Literally days later. 135 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: Annoying, the Ossies kept owning the relay space with the 136 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: red hot team of Morio Callahan, Arion Titmas, shanea Jack 137 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: and Brianna Throssel setting a world record in the four 138 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: by two hundred meter freestyle relay, breaking the previous record 139 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: also set by the Aussies, by almost two seconds. It 140 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: was Australia's ninth gold medal, and with three days still 141 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: to swim. At that stage, Arion Tipmos had already called it, 142 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: saying this is great. We're having the meat of our life. 143 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: I reckon, she's probably deserved a statement like that. Arnie 144 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: Timmus anchored the four by two hundred meters, posting a 145 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: time of one minute fifty two point four one, which 146 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: happened to be the fastest two hundred meter relay leg 147 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: in history. Ridiculous motoring motoring along after the race, Tipmos 148 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: became under standably emotional in the media's own paying tribute 149 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: to coach Dean Boxhall, who coaches all four swimmers that 150 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: race in the four by two hundred two, said at Boxhall, 151 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: the best way to describe it is, each athlete is 152 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: a door, and Dean has a bunch of keys, and 153 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: he finds the key to unlock each door. Every lock 154 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: is different. He found my key very quickly. I just 155 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: feel very passionate about thanking our coach. I would just 156 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: be forever grateful to him for this. You know what, 157 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about athletes in post matches and 158 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: post event interviews. I rate an analogy like that from Arnie. 159 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: You don't get a huge amount of analogies. I don't 160 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: reckon from athletes after a competition. 161 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I totally agree, and I think Dean Boxhall, that's 162 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: pretty amazing that he actually coaches all four of those 163 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: swimmers that are absolutely calving. 164 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: Can you carve in a pool? Sure? 165 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 5: Right. 166 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: They then added another world record and gold medal to 167 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: the Italian the mix four by one hundred meter freestyle event. 168 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: The team of Jack Cartwright, Kyle Chalmers, Shana Jack and 169 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: Mollo Callahan finished one point nine to nine seconds clear 170 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: of the medalists the United States. 171 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: Oh good, well done to all the swimmers, they absolutely 172 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: killed it.

The bronze 254 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 2: medal match was a tight for physical contest with no 255 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: more than three goals separated and the sides at any stage. 256 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: Australia child by one goal at the end of the 257 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: first quarter before staging a strong comeback to head into 258 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: the main break at ten apiece. 259 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 3: The third quarter saw Australia with. 260 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: A one player advantage after a red car to Italy. 261 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 2: Yet the Stingers failed to capitalize. 262 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: They just didn't. 263 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: They didn't go down without a fight though, and we 264 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: were within reach right until the final whistle. So Australia 265 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: will now need to play New Zealand in the Oceania 266 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: Olympic Qualifier in Auckland from the eleventh to thirteenth of August, 267 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: and the winner of that three match test series will 268 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: book their ticket to the Paris Olympic Games. 269 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: In cycling, Dutch rider Demi Valering has claimed her maiden 270 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: tour Defemme's victory. The race involved eight stages across eight days, 271 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: totaling nine hundred and fifty six kilometers just under one 272 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: thousand kilometers in about a week. 273 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 4: That makes me feel a bit ill. 274 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: The stages very between flat helium mountainous and concluded with 275 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: the twenty two kilometer time trial through power. 276 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 4: Are we saying power? 277 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 5: Yeah? 278 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: I now that Valerian's main challenger, I was defending champion 279 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: who we've chatted about a lot already on this podcast, 280 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: Animik van v Luten. So with five kilometers remaining in 281 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: Stage seven, Valerian accelerated through the thick mist of the 282 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: Pyrenees up and away from her competitors. I think they 283 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: lost her with her stamina, but I think the thick 284 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: fog kind of helped her strategically as well. 285 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, some pretty amazing pictures coming out of that, 286 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: Like she's literally riding through the clouds of the Pyrenees. 287 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 4: How cool it was. 288 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: So she was able to maintain that league and claim 289 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: that Stage seven and the yellow leaders jersey into the 290 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: final stage eight, the time trial, Valerian finished second behind 291 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: teammate Marlon Russer, which was enough to claim overall victory. 292 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: We've just shared the real on our Instagram channels of 293 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: kind of the moment. She looked absolutely exhausted after the 294 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: time trial, but kind of you can see the emotion 295 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: as it as it really starts to sink in what 296 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: she'd achieved. It's pretty cool, we know. Last year, I 297 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: think the women received a lot of attention for the tour. 298 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: De fems because of the fact that it had returned 299 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: and the iconic moment that was for the sport. But 300 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: it seems that a lot of the commentary this year 301 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: has more been related to the performance in the athletes, 302 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: which is the shift that a lot of the time 303 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: we do want to see in women's sport, which is 304 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: really cool. 305 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that last time trial was brutal. Did you 306 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: see them all basically falling off their bikes? 307 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, yeah, it wasn't that not far from the 308 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: finish line? 309 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? 310 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: Well no, sorry, the actual after they finished the twenty 311 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: two longer time trial, they were all just cooked. Grace 312 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: Brown just steps off her bike and lay down. 313 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: Poor thing. 314 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: In NRLW, unfortunately, all the attention during the women in 315 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: League A round hasn't been on the players on field prowess. 316 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: A n LW match on Thursday at the Gabba between 317 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: the Titans and Broncos was the first of the round 318 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: to see players from both sides wearing tape over the 319 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: NRLW logo on the front of their jerseys. The NRL 320 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: players joined the NLW players in a protest against the 321 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: NRL's continued stall negotiations of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement 322 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: the CBA, so the NROW remains without a CBA and 323 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: NRL players operating under the previous agreement which lapsed last November, 324 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: and they've all got to sign off on a new 325 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: deal by October. The Rugby League Players Association the RLPA, 326 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: have met with the Australian Council of Trade Unions and 327 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: further action is rumored should the NRL not agree to 328 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: an independent mediator to assist in moving the negotiations forward. 329 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: The RLPA. 330 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: The RLPA, so many acronyms said the NRL had made 331 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: a hundred unreasonable and unacceptable changes in their last offer. 332 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: Newcastle Knights player Nita Maynard questioned the NRL's commitment to 333 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: the women's game during Women in League Grounds, saying it's 334 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: women in League ground, but NERLW players still don't have 335 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: a CBA. What does that say about the respect for 336 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: women playing rugby league. That's why all players will be 337 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: covering the badge. We want protection and respect. 338 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of the discussion around 339 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: this Women in League round, particularly over the last number 340 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: of years, has been the importance of shifting to shifting 341 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: from celebrating the men's players, mums and partners to actually 342 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: acknowledging the women that are playing the game and officiating 343 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: the game. And no disrespect at all to family members 344 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: and partners who help athletes perform at their best because 345 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: they playing an integral role in that. But I think 346 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: Nita's point about, like you have this key product that 347 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: needs to be looked after and for the women in 348 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: league round, you should be prioritizing like player well being 349 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: and locking in CBAS first. 350 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's pretty ridiculous that they're two games in they 351 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: still don't have a CBA that they're playing under. 352 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: On Saturday, the Canberra Raiders have caused an upset to 353 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: secure their first win in the NRLW with a twenty 354 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: four to fourteen victory over the Roosters at home in Canberra. 355 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: Co captains Zahara Tamara and Samima Taufa were immense for 356 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders and had their team leading eighteen neil halfway 357 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: through the second half before the Roosters mounted a comeback, 358 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: but Camber held on with Mona Lisa Saliola scoring a 359 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: late try to secure the win. Sahara tomorrow became the 360 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: first player to reach one hundred NRLW points during the game. 361 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: That's across her career, not just. 362 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: In the one game she had some game. 363 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story this week. 364 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: I caught it for a chat with ERLW player for 365 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: the North Queensland Cowboys, Kira Dibb, who was instrumental in 366 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: the team's win over the Newcastle Knights on the weekend. 367 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit about what that 368 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: feeling was like claiming the win over your former team 369 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: the Nights on the weekend. 370 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, it was a really good feeling, just as 371 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 6: much for I guess being with being against my old team, sorry, 372 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 6: but being also a part of a inaugural team with 373 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 6: a bunch of rookies that haven't really had too much 374 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 6: n ROLW experience. To get a win against the former 375 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 6: premiers is going to be so good for like the 376 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 6: confidence of the group and going forward into our season. 377 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 5: So it was really nice. 378 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: Talk to us about I think the scores were locked 379 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: at twenty a piece, and you got the footy in 380 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: front of the goal posts and we're able to slot 381 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: a pretty beautiful drop goal and then I could see 382 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: you kind of like chatting to your teammates like just 383 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: like keep it com come on, like, we're still going 384 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: to finish out this game, and you guys ended up 385 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: scoring off you had another beautiful grubber for a try. Like, 386 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: what talk to us about your headspace in those in 387 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: those high pressure moments. 388 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think. 389 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 6: I think in the last few years of my career, 390 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 6: I've really tried to focus on like game management. I 391 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 6: think being a half when you start is so much 392 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 6: about just making sure you can get your team around 393 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 6: the park, But as you're around the game for a 394 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 6: little bit longer, it's really about like looking at the score, 395 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 6: looking at the clock, looking at our field position, and 396 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 6: thinking of what's going to happen next. 397 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 5: I guess. 398 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 6: So I looked up and we had, yeah, like six 399 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 6: minutes on the clock. Every set takes you know, a 400 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 6: minute or so to do, so if we were going 401 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 6: to do it perfectly, we weren't going to get back 402 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 6: there until like three minutes. 403 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 5: Then they might have had a shot already. So yeah, 404 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 5: it was just I didn't even tell my team. 405 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 3: I love them. 406 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, A fewman came up to me after. I was like, 407 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 5: I had no idea you were doing that. Did you 408 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 5: tell anyone? 409 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 6: I was like, no, longer I just you know, directed 410 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 6: them where I needed them to be. 411 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 5: I didn't want anyone else to to panic. I didn't 412 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 5: want the other team to know that it was going 413 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 5: to happen. 414 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 6: Just you know, my job as a half at the 415 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 6: moment is to get us in front or to keep 416 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 6: our team. 417 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 5: I guess set on the tasks that we were given. 418 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 6: So against a team that's so strong, we just had 419 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 6: to keep com fish our sets and try and get 420 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 6: the ball in their end. So with a few minutes left, 421 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 6: I knew that Newcastle could come back if they wanted to. 422 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 6: They had the players to do it. So just trying 423 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 6: to keep my team composed, even though we were in 424 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 6: the league. A lot can happen in five minutes, like 425 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 6: we saw with the next couple of tries we were 426 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 6: fortunate enough to get. But yeah, really proud of the 427 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 6: girl's efforts. They stuck in there and they waited to 428 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 6: celebrate until the very end, So really proud of them. 429 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: What has your move been like? Heading up north to 430 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: join the Cowboys? Big Cowboys found my uncle Kerry boastaid. 431 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: He was a Queensland state of origin. Gray was involved in. 432 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 4: The early days of the Cowboys. 433 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: But what's it been like I guess the women's team 434 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: starting it at a pretty successful club. 435 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been really smooth. They've really thought of everything. 436 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 6: We're really fortunate that our staff are fantastic and our 437 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 6: coach in particular has been around women's rugby league for 438 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 6: a really long time, so I think he really had 439 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 6: at tension to detail in how we could make it 440 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 6: as smooth as possible. Everyone really comfortable and you know, 441 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 6: the sad reality of women's sport is at some clubs 442 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 6: you don't have full access, you don't have a few 443 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 6: things just because you're not technically full time athletes. But 444 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 6: here we have full access, like today's a full recovery 445 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 6: day for us, so we can come in and out 446 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 6: whenever we please. The club have just made it really easy, 447 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 6: really comfortable, and the club's fantastic. The fans up here 448 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 6: as well, like North Queensland, are really really spirited rugby 449 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 6: league fans and they have a batter aniyel it if 450 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 6: you play in the Jersey. They don't care if you're 451 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 6: in the men's or the women's team, like they're around 452 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 6: us one hundred percent. 453 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really cool. 454 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: We see a lot of movement between clubs in ner 455 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: our waf W and in these similar codes where there's 456 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: a whole lot of uncertainty with contracts, length of contracts. 457 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: As you touched on, not full time athletes. I'm a 458 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: big advocate for, I guess publicly allowing players to not 459 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: because a lot of fans and loyal fans often get 460 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: pretty annoyed it at player movement between clubs, right, And 461 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: I totally get that we want loyalty and we want 462 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: people supporting the women's game, but there's also an element 463 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: of you don't have any certainty in these long term contracts, 464 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: and you've got to try and not just make a 465 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: living from footy because a lot of time you can't 466 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: do it as a full time gig, but you've kind 467 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: of got to get some level of certainty around moving clubs. 468 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, Like I'm yeah, I'm much the same. 469 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 6: I love loyalty where it's at, and I remember as 470 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 6: a young fan when one of your favorite players left, 471 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 6: like how much it kind of hurt. But in the 472 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 6: women's game, like before this season in the NLW we 473 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 6: only had one year contracts. This is the very first 474 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 6: time we've ever been able to sign multi years, so 475 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 6: you'd finish the season and you wouldn't have no idea 476 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 6: what was next. So I think a lot of fans 477 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 6: do understand, but that extra explanation of you know, I 478 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 6: got to the end of my season with Newcastle last 479 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 6: year and you just might not hear anything for a while, 480 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 6: or they knew there was an expansion, Like, it just 481 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 6: gets so gets so differ foricult to kind of hold 482 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 6: that loyalty. 483 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 5: You just really got to go where the opportunity. 484 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 6: Presents as Yeah, we don't know what's going to happen 485 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 6: next with contracts and long term, so it's just a 486 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 6: matter of taking the taking the. 487 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 5: Opportunity where you can get it. In such a such 488 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 5: a pivotal time in women's sport, I think. 489 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: We saw this was the women in league ground for you. 490 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: Where did your love for rugby league first come from? 491 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 6: I grew up in a rugby league family, so I 492 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 6: think it was almost a brainwashing, if I'm going to 493 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 6: be honest. My brother played rugby league. My parents were 494 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 6: both involved in the junior club that I played for. 495 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 6: There's like pictures of me as like a fresh baby 496 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 6: with like a jersey put over me, Like it was 497 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 6: just kind of always in the always the environment that 498 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 6: I was in, But the love for it just started 499 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 6: really early. 500 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 5: It was a family thing. My grandfather was an NROL referee. 501 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 6: It was just something that was always going to happen, 502 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 6: and I think my love for it grew even though 503 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 6: the pathway wasn't for me.
