I think it was a 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: big surprise for the three of us, actually, both Kenya 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 2: and Greg, who have served the Rugby league community for many, 23 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: many many years in many ways. 24 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: Now tell me, I mean you dedicate so much of 25 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: your time to the Nightcliff Dragons, but also to rugby 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: league and the history of league here in the Northern Territory. 27 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: Tell me why you volunteer in the way that you do. 28 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: Well, It becomes part of your life, I think, Katie, 29 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: you know when I first came to Darwin in nineteen 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: sixty nine a marriage Jim, who was an avid rugby 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: league player back in the day. And you get involved, 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: you get involved in the rugby league community like most 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: people get involved in a sporting community. You get involved 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: and then you get entrenched, and then you become a tragic. 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 2: So I guess I'm a tragic. 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: Not at all. 37 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: You know. 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: People need clubs need people like you. 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: Well, there always is people like me around, you know, 40 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: she said. I've been around for probably longer than most 41 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: of them, you know. So if it does become your passion, 42 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: and of course then it becomes your family, you then 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: everyone you know is involved in a sports and in 44 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: particular rugby league, it's a very close, tight knit community. 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: While we're competitors on the field, we're also very close 46 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: knit group off the field. I feel anyway, That's the 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: way I look at it, and most of our friends 48 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: and some of our lifelong friends have been made through 49 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 2: the sport of rugby. 50 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: League and you know, the mighty Nightcliff Dragons. 51 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: If you know, you've had so much well to do 52 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: with the club, You've been involved in the club for 53 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: such a long period of time. Jackie, what's been some 54 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: of the highlights for you over the years. 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: Well, getting life membership for Night Dragons was a highlight, 56 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: getting to know all the players, winning premierships, being involved 57 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: with junior kids right from I can remember when we 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: used to play at Anular Oval and honestly, Katie, the 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: kids had run and the dust had fly up under 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: their feet, you know, like so and all those kids 61 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: that were playing then are now of course adults. Some 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: of them don't play anymore, but and some are still 63 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: involved in the club. But the highlights felt, I guess, 64 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: is the friendships that you make. There's been some amazing 65 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: women come through Night because I believe we've had some 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: juty Gate lead bearst to mind more in Britain, Selena Petrelli. 67 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: The list goes on and on and on. You and 68 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: so I've been one of the fortunate ones where I've 69 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: been there for a long time and I've been awarded 70 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: LAFE membership to the club and to the league. 71 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such like it's a wonderful thing. 72 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: And I think it's really great that, you know that 73 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: the three of you were recognized, and I was surprised 74 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: that it's something that hasn't happened since twenty fourteen. And 75 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, that was what Tony had said, you know 76 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: that it is it is a bit of a shame, 77 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: and you know, he felt as though he probably should 78 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: have reintroduced it back sooner. But no doubt the three 79 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: of you were pretty toughed on Monday night. 80 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a special night. It really was a 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: special night. I've had some funny things have happened over 82 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: the years, you know, And I think I reiterated it 83 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: on the night they set us all down and interviewed, 84 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: did an interview, you know, and they asked me. I 85 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: said to them that I did play rugby league in 86 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: the seventies. Ye, and I also played again in the nineties, 87 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: but only because back then women in league and rugby 88 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: league for women was sort of fledgling and there weren't 89 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: a lot of girls playing. And we were at night 90 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: this had enough girls to put on the field, but 91 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: they needed one more, so I said, all right, I'll 92 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: put my hand up, but I'm just going on the 93 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: wing because I was and I was old girl by then, 94 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 2: you know, and we didn't want to pay the fine. 95 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: So I took the field and Arthur bowl and took 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 2: one look at me. So he was our senior referee 97 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: in the day. He took one look at me and 98 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: he said, Jackie, what are you doing? I said, Arthur, 99 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,119 Speaker 2: I'm just on here so we don't get a fine, 100 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: so can you please protect me? He said, all right, 101 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: but there will be conditions. So we played sisters, you know, 102 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: and they were the gun as they still are today, 103 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: you know. And so they chipped the ball and I thought, 104 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: I have to go and pick this up now. I 105 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: ran down and Arpa said that she's tackled, and and 106 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: they blew up. No, no, we haven't got her yet. 107 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: She's tackled. Play the bull, Jackie. So I played the bull. 108 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: The game went on. I never got tackled the entire 109 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: game of one minute. At the end of the game, 110 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: he said, Edward, come here, So I walked over. I said, yes, sir. 111 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 2: He said you're off, and he said you're off for 112 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: the cent and I said, oh, I used to get off, 113 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: and so I walked off. And the reason behind it 114 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 2: was that he had said steam off on multiple occasions. 115 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: He said all my boys off on multiple occasions, and 116 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: so he wanted to get the families he had five, 117 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: not just in his belt. But that's one of many, 118 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: many fabulous things that have happened in rugby league aground. 119 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: And I guess if I could say that the support 120 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: you get from a rugby league community as the most 121 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: sporting communities in Darwin, that if anything happens to you 122 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: or your family, like when Stem broke his neck, the 123 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: support was amazing and it continues to today, a kat 124 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: you know, so everything like that makes it all worthwhile. 125 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I truly would. 126 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: And you know, and when you go through those hardships 127 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: as a family as well, to then have your sporting 128 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: club that, like you said, becomes your family, it makes 129 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: such a huge difference to your life to have that 130 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: network of support. So I just think it's a beautiful thing. 131 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: It's a thing I love about sport more generally. 132 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you know what, I've been absolutely blessed, Katie. 133 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: I think I've probably watched fifteen hundred to two thousand 134 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: games of I believeue over fifty years and every one 135 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: of those kids from the bull boy to the under 136 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: sevens right through to the seniors, I've watched them develop 137 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: all that way and they are all still my friends 138 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: from every club.

It's my absolute passion is the history of 154 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: rugby league in the Northern Territory. I created that site 155 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: when Richardson Park was doomed yeah, and a lot of 156 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: the history was disposed of, not all of it, a 157 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: lot they've kept some at the NRL key, but a 158 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 2: lot of it was disposed of and I was absolutely hearttaken. 159 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: I was diligent when I worked there. I had files 160 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: and files from nineteen sixty five right through till when 161 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: I left, and they were all thrown out. And then, 162 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: of course, you know it's well documented my passion to 163 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: save Richton Park I wasn't successful. So I actually started 164 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: it off as the men A League in the Northern 165 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: Territory and it was running along smoothly and I got 166 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: a phone call from my it's called family a League 167 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: now and they said that I was illegally using their 168 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: name and that I needed to close the page down. 169 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 2: So I said, well, I'm not closing the page down, sorry, mate, 170 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: but I am going to change the name. So I 171 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: changed the name to the History of Rugby League in 172 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: the Norton Territory. And it had been so successful. There's 173 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: about five thousand members on there and they love it. 174 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: I get messages all the time. Is this page we 175 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: love it? 176 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so good. I think it's a great thing 177 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: to do. And you know, like as as a person 178 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: who's grown up in a real rugby league family, I 179 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: know it is so important, you know, and and you know, 180 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: especially for the older generation to be able to look 181 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: back at some of those photos and things that we 182 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, we take for granted a bit now, I think, 183 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: given the fact we've all got our phones and we 184 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: can take photos so easily, but it really wasn't the case, 185 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: and some of those old team photos and that kind 186 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: of thing. It's lovely for people to be able to 187 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: go and have a look at. Well. 188 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: I've been a bit tied up over the last few months, 189 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: him not being well, and you know, I sort of haven't. 190 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: But now now our seasons is almost over, so I'll 191 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 2: be I'll be approaching Tiny Crow now to perhaps use 192 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: some of the photos that they've kept there, some of 193 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: the old team photos. But it's also good for the 194 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 2: young ones, you know. They need to know where our 195 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: history is at, yeah, totally, and where it started, you know, 196 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: so if it's on somewhere, at least it's there. 197 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. 198 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: Now, Jackie, before I let you go this morning, I 199 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: ran into you and Stem of course, on the weekend 200 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: at the shops at Casarina and Stemm had given me 201 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: a little heads up that you were going to that 202 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: you were going to be receiving your life membership. How 203 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: hard do you think he found it to keep this secret? 204 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: Well, he doesn't keep many secrets. Would be hard. 205 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 3: I kept it though, we both kept it. 206 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 2: He did a really good job. 207 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: He must have been proud, was he? 208 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: He was very proud. And I've got to say he's 209 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: been my main stay behind all this. He encourages me 210 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: to keep the history page going. He's always on the 211 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: scout looking for photos and all that sort of thing. 212 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: So we're not a bad team. So in that sense, 213 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 2: we're now both dual life members in our households for 214 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: the Lord Chiuti Rugy League. And I think that's probably 215 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 2: one of the first in where you get a husband 216 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 2: and wife team. 217 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: How cool. 218 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: I know, it's pretty good. 219 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 3: That's so cool. Yeah, that is so cool. 220 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: There was one in mant Isis and you know this 221 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 2: family too, the Thompsons, was it? Yeah? 222 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 3: Maybe? Yeah, I would have thought maybe even the Daisies. 223 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 224 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 3: There's a few. 225 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: There is definitely a few rugby leaguing families there in 226 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: Mount Isa, There's no doubt about that. And that's what 227 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: That's what I always think when you share those photos, 228 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: it reminds me, you know, of my dad playing in 229 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: the Folly Shield and that kind of history. And I 230 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: think that that's why it's so important to the rugby 231 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: league community, whether it's here or whether it's in Queensland, 232 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: no matter where it is, because it's not just a game, right, 233 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: it's party life. 234 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: It is it is and that we still those fan 235 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: Daisy very well yep, and I think he said he's 236 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: told you that he knew your dad. Yeah, against your 237 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: dad and the Thompsons were iconic in man Issa as 238 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: Stuey Thompson was here for brothers in Darwin and North 239 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 2: and Geodory. So yeah, it stretches a long way, doesn't 240 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: it please? 241 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 3: Friends you They truly truly do well. 242 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: Jackie, We're gonna have to go.
