1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the Morning w S m R. 2 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 2: Aaron mollan, Good morning, Good morning man. 3 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: Are you good? 4 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 3: Thanks Eric? 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: Can we talk to you about Joseph Swale? A very 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: interesting story. He's sixteen years old. He is such a 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: prodigy that well, the NRL and the Rugby Union are 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: fighting over him many There are some people saying, hey, 9 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: let's get him first grade right now, and others are saying. 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: Ex players are saying, it's it's too rough a game. 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: You're in the company of men. It's it's a whole 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: culture here that's not appropriate for a sixteen year old. 13 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: What do you think? 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more likely to agree with the latter part 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: of your comments. I think absolutely it's too young, particularly now. 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I think even seventeen is probably too young. You know, 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: you've got to look at people who have done this 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: and gone through this NFF you have not only XPlay, 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: is that current players have come out and spoken about 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: the challenges that they've faked in. Well, there are challenges 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: in everything. There's challenges in debuting and the get roll 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: when you're twenty eight years old. It's a tough sport. 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: It's a brutal industry. But to put a kid in 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: there even at seventeen, even a year before they turn eighteen, 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: I just don't think it's a good idea. You said, 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: a really dangerous precedent, not only physically, and you know, 27 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: there's been studies for decades that talk about even when 28 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: kids should start doing weights and that kind of thing 29 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: because of where their development is physically, and just you know, 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: their bones are still growing, their bodies are still growing, 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: and the damage that you can do in the long 32 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: is really extreme and the injuries you know kids that 33 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: I think Wade Graham had shoulder surgery at nineteen, you know, 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: an entire reconstruction, and he debuted at seventeen. So I 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: just think you set a dangerous president. You then put 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: in the mental side of it, the emotional side, and 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: the immense pressure you put these kids on it. I'm 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: thirty six and I'm in a high pressure environment and 39 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard for me to cope with it. I 40 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: think back to be seventeen, eighteen, even being twenty five, 41 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: and I reckon I would have been too young for 42 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: the pressures and some of the challenges that I face 43 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: in mind too that are similar to what NRL players face. 44 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: So I just think it's too young on a million 45 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: different levels. Then you're adding, do you sometimes evil aspect 46 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: of player managers and people that would look to gain 47 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: the advantage by going out to carnivals trying to find 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: these kids at twelve thirteen promising their parents Yep, Weld, 49 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: he's a superstar. He's going to be the next time 50 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: of Bill Williams. Let's sign him up now. The kid 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: doesn't then go on to succeed, which a lot of 52 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: them don't. A lot of them at superstars in high 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: school don't make the NRL. What if that then do 54 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: to the mental state of a kid. I think these 55 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: rules need to say they're there to protect and they 56 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: were changed to protect kids. And I don't think we 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: can make an exception just because some kids are said 58 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: he's a super star at sixteen, P'll be a superstar 59 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: at seventeen, He'll be a superstar at eighteen. You just 60 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: got to wait, that's life. You change it now. You 61 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: said a very dangerous precedent, and you don't want to. 62 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: Like the soccer where they go around you know, I 63 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: have a season. Look at a nine year old and 64 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: they're signing them up. Oh I know, down the track 65 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: it's real. 66 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: I mean, unless of course someone has identified that my 67 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: daughter alive there hasn't made talent. Goal signed her up, 68 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: gave me a great amount of money, and I will 69 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: get what's. 70 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: What's Eliza good at? What was she really good at? Well? 71 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: We actually I bought her a golf set yesterday. 72 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: I see a lot of money in golf. 73 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: Are exactly golf or tennis? But I figure may be golf, 74 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: but after watching her yesterday, it have to hit them all. Yeah, 75 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: maybe I might try tennis. Next question. 76 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: And there's never any controversy. There's never any controversy in golf. 77 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: No, I can't think of a single one, not a thing. 78 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: But board tiger. 79 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: So the Indigenous Indigenous round is kicking off and fantastic 80 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: round ahead of us as well. 81 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: Oh, it's really specialist. And I was actually Channel nine 82 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: his weekly sports kind of conference on zoom and johnas 83 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: the first was on yesterday and spoke about his experience 84 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: of discovering his history and it was fairly late by 85 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: his standards in terms of when he developed a really 86 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: interested learned about where he came from. It was just 87 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: fascinating to see what this round means to not only 88 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: indigenous Australians, but the Scalions in general. It's really really special. 89 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: So I can't wait. There's going to be a lot 90 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: of ceremony and a lot of really special elements to 91 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: all the games this weekend, starting with the Dragons and 92 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: Rabbit O's. This is really crucial, particularly in a short season. 93 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: They're in eleventh and tenth place. Look, I think the 94 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: rabbit O's will get them or tell me to a 95 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: back peace suspension. The Dragons having to shift with it 96 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: as well with injury, so the hunt who's been playing 97 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: and starting hooker is back into the halves. So I 98 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: just think that's what I'm settling them a little bit. 99 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: I think the Rabbits good. This tuit to start a 100 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: little bit of comeback for them. Tiger's Warriors. Warriors so 101 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: impressive last week against the Ruses. It was just incredible 102 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: how good they were. But I think the Tigers will 103 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: be too good. Bronco Sharks. I'm actually Jonie, I'm sorry 104 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: I reckon the Broncos. Are we miss? 105 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: I really? 106 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: I think there's an upset. They put Darius Boyd back 107 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: to fall back and whilst he's not the player he 108 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: was five years ago, just that settling effect, and I 109 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: think he'll be rejuvenated, he'll have a new lease on 110 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: life in that number one jersey. I think the Broncos 111 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: might pull off an upset against the Sharks. So look, 112 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: we'll speak next week and you get they put my 113 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: head in the sand. 114 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 3: No, no, I was watching. I was watching this a 115 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: George game last week and the Sharks one ugly on 116 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: and I said to him. I said to my mate Omer, 117 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: I said, I thought we watched this game for relaxation 118 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: and enjoyment. 119 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: Mate, you're watching the wrong right for that. Not the 120 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: Sharks play ruth is tightened. You're going with the russ Look, 121 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: they're not playing particularly well at the moment. They're without 122 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: Void Cordner and Bret Morris as well, but they will 123 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: beat the Titan. So the Rusters will get up and 124 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: win their Cows Raiders. Of course, I'm going with the Raiders, 125 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: so which you're good. But Cows are showing great vigilions 126 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: and under Josh Hanneither they're actually playing really, really well. 127 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: So given their situation, so they're doing well with the 128 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: Raiders will win Manly Panthers. This is really good match. Actually, 129 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: they're back in the eight Manly after last week they 130 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys. Penrith Keykower is back there on top 131 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: of the ladder. They'll win. Henery will be too strong. 132 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: Dog deals, How did it help? Was so lovely to 133 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: say the Dogs win last week, particularly as the team 134 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: like the night, but the Yells will bring them back 135 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: down to earth this week and then the store nights. 136 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: The nights all I think lost of the confidence us 137 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: to lose into the Dogs last week. The Storm will 138 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: beat them fairly comprehensively. 139 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 3: And how goes Cameron Smith? There was like two of 140 00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: them on the field last week. 141 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: It's it's ridiculous. How does somebody and what is he like? 142 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: Fifty eight? 143 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: He looks fifty eight, but I think he's only thirty. 144 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Isn't He is late thirty thirty seven to do what 145 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: he's doing weekend week out. But you actually watch him, 146 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't actually really get hit. Ever, he doesn't really 147 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: do it. He's the king of protecting his body so 148 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: that he could continue to play for another two years, 149 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: which's not great news for the likes of Harry Grant. 150 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: He's online to the west Siders at the moment, he's 151 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: meant to be going back to the Storm because I 152 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: can't see him not playing first grade next year. I'll 153 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: have to do some shuffling there. But Cameron Smith is 154 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: just the absolute king best. 155 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: Ever, how do you not get hit on the field? 156 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 3: How does that even work? 157 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: Can I be good at that? I reckon? If I 158 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: played rugby league ever, that would be probably your skill 159 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: set would be avoiding. 160 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: Remember the movie The Great Race and the Big Pie 161 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: Fight with at the end of that member. 162 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: Was no race, Jesse say let's have the shore. 163 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: Thank you, Aaron, We'll talk to you next week. 164 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Thank you. 165 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: Join the and Amanda in the Morning One at one 166 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: point seven value
