There were innerie people. 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:10.360 This land was never seated, always was, always will be. 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.600 We are the pride of Queens. 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.759 You need to start again, you need to say, I mean, 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.599 we just lost fifty percent of the listeners. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.840 No, no, we haven't. No, we haven't, Jelly, because we're 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.200 going to a decider. 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:33.479 All right, I'm taking it. 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:35.840 Hello, and welcome to too Good Sports. It sports news 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.840 told differently. I'm haby Jermy and Georgie Tunney is off ahead. 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:44.320 I've lost my mind because we wrote them off. They're 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.120 flat track bullies over in the West, usually the Blues, 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.200 but the Morons have done it. They've forced a decider 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.600 in state of origin DCE out Tommy did and in 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.480 who knows if that was why they did it. But 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.440 my god, also Western Australia sought your weather out. 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.480 Oh I can't, I can't tell me, for this is 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.280 a bit of a spoiler to our chat ahead, dear listeners. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.880 But I have concocted an axis of evil from the 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.440 night and an axis of good from the night, and 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.360 we'll see where Perth weather falls in that later on, 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.360 but before we kick off our origin chat, we have 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.560 so much other sport to talk to you about as well. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.119 Good sport, bad sport. Tell me what have you got 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:24.959 for us? So this is a little bit belated because 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.160 I don't know. We had the Prime Minister on the 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.040 podcast last week, so I didn't get a chance to 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.560 talk about my good sport bad sport. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.680 Then also elbow massive good sport listeners. He was here 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:35.440 for two hours. 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.319 Yeah, he really was. 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.000 And if you listen back to the EPP you can 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:39.800 tell where Georgie and I are like, we really need 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.960 to move this on, and he keeps going, keeps going, 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.840 and we only want to move it on because we're 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.880 very aware that I don't know, if you haven't seen 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.639 him in the last couple of weeks, he's been brushed 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.200 by Trump, there's been different things going on in his life. 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.560 We were like, he's been and he was the one 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.360 that was like, no, have we got more to chat about? 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.120 Let me let me about gi. Yeah, continue chat was 0:01:59.160 --> 0:01:59.720 even warmer. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.360 He tried to find videos of himself kicking a Sharon. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.919 That's right, that's right for us to enjoy and Albo 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:05.520 come back. 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:06.600 We'll see him find him. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.000 Definitely, he's a friend of the pod. Honest he's a 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:09.560 friend of the pod. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.960 But something that we unfortunately did have to glaze over 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.480 because Ah needed to give the PM ample times was 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.160 the French Open and what was unbelievable results in two parts. Firstly, 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.400 the men's final, Yes, was one of the greater games 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.800 of tennis that you'll ever see. As much as I 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.800 don't know about the dubious drug sing, I love Yannick Sinner. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.160 It's hard not to like him because he's a runway model. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.920 Jelmy, it's because he looks like he modeled for Berbury 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.200 in the early two thousands. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.799 No, it's honestly's Eddie Redman life. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.480 He is the opposite of Arena Sabolenka in that he 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.160 is so humble when he loses. Yes, and again, if 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.520 you squint at Corlos Alcarez, you're like, oh, still. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.840 A Spaniard winning on clay? Is that hello? Hello Dahl? 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:52.360 Is that you? 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.640 But I love the stat that they were literally the 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.359 exact same age to the day as when Nadahle won 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.640 his fifth Grand Slam, as when Alcoraz one to the 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.320 day to the day, and again, I love tennis people 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.520 because they're nuffies and they find these things out. I mean, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.440 who even knows that? So firstly Alcaraz or Sinner. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.560 Oh al Choraz. Actually I do quite like Sinner. But 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.760 in terms of watching I have had the pleasure of 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.720 watching both of those athletes on court in the stands, 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.000 and Yannick's just a little bit boring because he's so good, 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.040 like he's so good and he like he just but he. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.040 He's very lark. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.440 He's very long limbed, very. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.040 Long limbs, so I'm never seeing any volleys. I'm never 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.280 really seeing him straight like Alcaz because he gets his 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.760 arms out. I was actually with you and you're like, wow, 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.440 guilty enjoy he's running around, you know what I mean. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.640 It's a little bit more high stakes. There's a bit 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.520 of we really enjoy it. You know. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.760 I'm obsessed with that. So yeah, I am team Alcoraz. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.240 Neither of those my good sports okay, but sorry. My 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.640 good sport though, is cocoa gol And this is why 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.840 we love her. So did you know this? This is 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.080 leaning into fun fact territory. The trophy they hold up 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.400 at the French Open and that they kiss and all 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:09.680 of that. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.200 They don't get to keep what. Let's I just want 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.720 to fridge joke in or rolling garows. And this is 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.640 a trophy that you guys see, the one that we 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.279 teake pitchers with, depressed with and all that. But actually, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.720 if you don't get to take this home, this stays 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.160 with the tournament. And I'm gonna show you, guys the 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:27.920 one can take home. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.640 It's a lot smaller. So that's just the one we 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:31.320 take home. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:36.479 It's like many replica of the triphy. And yeah, I 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:37.479 guess to compare. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.400 It's really small. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.440 Reference She's put it next to a bottle of water 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.840 and it's all like small. Sorry, I've got distracted by 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.880 the private She's just casually on a paj which of 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:52.360 calls you. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:59.200 Are like, so they may count with the trophy. Tennis players, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.400 they kiss it lot, they look it, they do all 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.400 the things they have to give it back. Sorry, who's 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:05.400 licking and never. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.360 Try it with a coffee cut again. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.919 She's on a private jet, so I don't feel so 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.640 sorry for her, and the fact that she's chosen to 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.120 film this on the private jet also sliding scale. 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.120 But I'm with you in good sport territory because Coco 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.760 is showing us what life is like as one of 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.640 the athletes. This is the next gen, this is what 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.880 they do and this I adore her for it. She also, 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.200 fun fact, forgot all of her rackets in the first 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:29.120 game of that tournament. 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.240 You had to remember that. She walked unto the court 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.560 and is like, ah, God, damn it, this. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.839 Bag is empty. I didn't bring any rackets. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.000 Guys, help help me. Do you know who wouldn't do that? 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.160 Alchoriz because he counts them five times and put them 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:41.360 into numerical order. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:42.560 But how's that? 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.279 Oh my god, it's amazing. And also this wasn't planned, 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.560 but my good sport bad sport for this week is 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.599 a little bit of both. And it's also tennis related. 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.640 Yeah yeah, god, we're just absolutely telepathic. So from the 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.320 French Open, we moved to the US Open, and the 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.880 US Open is doing something new with its doubles draw, 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.200 and that is essentially making it more palatable to the 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.279 casual tennis fan. They're making it shorter, and they're opening 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.560 up the qualification of who is deemed to be a 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.520 doubles pairing, so it's going to be based on your 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.320 singles ranking. So just let that sink in because there 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.600 are professional doubles players who singles ranking not so good, 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.320 So there's going to be a cap for. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.440 That, which at one point was ASHPARTI by the way. 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.479 Yeah yeah, So the reigning champions in the women's doubles 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.680 of the US Open, based on their singles ranking technically 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.840 may not even qualify for the doubles draw of this 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.039 year's tournament because their singles ranking is so low. But 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.160 they won the doubles last year, if that makes sense. However, 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.320 as a sports says Koreas doubles players, that's the thing. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.080 So as a sports lover, I think it's a bad sport. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.719 As a tennis fan, there's talk of one of the 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.280 pairents being an aaomia saka and. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:56.000 Curious, which also you want to pick two pole of 0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:01.039 personalities like I'm just here because I love tennis, okay, 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.400 and Nick's like fuck everyone? 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:07.560 So how does that actually is that tennis? What I'm 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.080 here in my basketball shorts? 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.800 I mean, it's both good sport and bad sport, because 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.440 I do think all sports are looking at how they 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.600 can be more palatable to an audience, i e. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.720 Trying to do their T twenty version. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.720 They are, and they're changing this game. They're not going 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.480 to advantage points, They're making their actual sets shorter. It's 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.320 a it's going to be rapid fire. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.640 Ten And if you've ever gone to tennis, especially at 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.480 night session, and been like it is three am, the 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:39.200 players look tired. Everything about this needs to be quicker 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.160 that actually checks out. I mean, I I can't wait 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.080 to watch. I love the US Open anyway. I think 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.640 the crowd are awesome. There's always someone sculling something. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.160 Yeah yeah, and there's always a fight the celebrity, the 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:50.880 tennis player and someone in the crowd. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.280 It's amazing. And the celebrity spotting is I'm I mean 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.560 you don't. I mean I like the wimbled and fashion 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.200 like I love watching how To Cratic. Everyone goes to 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.520 have their strawberry and cream. But we love the US 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.400 Open and it's just one of those slams that, for 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.560 whatever reason, I think it just is a bit rock star. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.000 And it sounds like they're trying to make the doubles 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:12.400 match it. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.920 A little bit rockstar. The performance of the Queensland Maroons. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:16.800 There it is. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:22.120 And by that I mean at times poetic, at times, 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.160 our stresses we get into it. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:39.160 Next it means a lot ah to be able to 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.240 captain this team and walk out, sorry run out with 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.560 his team and the obviously the pressure and and all 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.280 the criticism that Billy Slater's been getting for us and 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.559 we're this guyd We played for him tonight. He deserves everything. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.000 He loves Queensland, loves his group and I'm as proud 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.760 of our boys to turn up for him because there's 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.199 been a lot of speculations in media and we need 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.440 to turn up for our coach to nine and we 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:00.120 fucking did. 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:06.480 Wefen did Yes. That was the Queensland skipper, Cameron Munster 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.920 in his first match as the Queensland skipper and he's 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.240 got one hundred percent success right and he was Player 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:13.760 of the match. Well done sir. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.320 He also done one hundred percent success rate at swearing 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.120 in the postmatch as captain. Tell me you're not used 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.400 to making a captain address without telling me. It's one 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.480 of you boomed out over the stadium and you drop 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:25.000 an FM. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.160 It's one of I mean, we're going to go on 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.400 a tangent already de listener, but it's one of my 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.600 favorite things. When you compare like a rugby league Grand 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.200 final and an Ossie rules Grand Final and you do 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.480 the lap of honor with whatever team has won. You've 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.160 got that poor reporter there being like how many times 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.000 am I just going to have to ignore the fact 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.160 that you have sworn on national television and in rugby 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.800 league it's literally every second word in Ossie rules you 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:49.559 might get one and. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.880 They're like, well, like, sorry, didn't me do? 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.920 Sorry? But yes origin two we are off to a 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.640 decider twenty six points to twenty four Queensland over New 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.160 South Wales, and I tell you what, I lost years 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.240 of my life. 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.000 They decided just not to score. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.120 Oh my goodness. Jeremy sent me in teggs halfway through 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.080 the first half, which. 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.480 Was nobody make any sudden movements because we've been here, 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.640 except it was the Broncos, and I literally said to you, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.719 I'm like, well this is done, congratulations. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.000 Next minute the Panthers decided to panther and when Nathan 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.240 Clear is involved, you just never know. You just never 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.520 And they were coming Georgie, but they're kicking game. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.560 Let them down again. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.760 Oh I score more tries and lose. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.760 What a fantastic segue by you, Because I did tease 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.440 at the start of this podcast. I had an access 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.280 of evil and an access of good. Now this is 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.960 obviously through the eyes of a one eyed Queensland are 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.760 so my access of evil? Number one? The Bunker, what 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.560 are you doing that decision late in the game, which 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.800 nearly cost the Morons the win of Kayl and Ponger 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.560 knocking on which it wasn't the ball went backwards? 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.760 Are you blind? Are you blind? Bunker? You're on the list. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:05.240 That's number one another axis. Angus Crichton and Stephen Crichton. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.160 You're great players. I've had enough of you. Stop being 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.839 so good for your South Wales. Okay, access ofero point 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.240 three Perth weather, tell me what was happening? 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.679 People think that Perth is sunshine all the time. When 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:18.920 it rains, it buckets. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.400 I will say though, for this fifty seven thousand people 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:25.599 that were there to watch in horrific conditions like it 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.400 would have tested my allegiance to even day night. I 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.199 was like, this is desired, I'm going to even see. 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.079 But the spectacle itself was great, like this was a 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.880 thrilling origin game. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.640 This speaks more largely to my opinion about sport. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.960 It starts so goddamn late, Oh my god, and AFL 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:45.840 I haven't. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.120 Seen and this is lifting behind the veil. So two 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.000 good sports listeners. If you could keep it between us, 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.920 that'd be awesome. I haven't seen the end of a 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.520 football match this year. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.079 Last night included. I have small children that wake up 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.000 at all hours. If I get to nine o'clock, I'm like, 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.560 the eye starts drooping. I start going like, I actually 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.440 AFL goes for four hundred hours. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.360 It does, it really does. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.120 And then last night, obviously because it's of the time difference, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.200 they don't start until eight o'clock. Wolf Mother's playing and 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.520 I'm like, this should be the second half. I'm so tired. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.720 Where is that and where is the stated? 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.920 Someone someone begin I know, I know, it is late. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.559 It is really really late, and especially for those spectacle 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.319 pieces like even the NRAL. 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.920 Finals together later and later and later and later. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.080 Yeah, it is difficult. It is totally difficult. And for them, 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.079 though at least in Perth it was earlier. Yeah technically 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.160 so maybe that's why they had such a good turnout. 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.720 But it I think as an advertisement for the game, 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.480 it was a good one for rugby league. I think 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.440 it passed. I think it passed, which brings me to 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.160 my axis of good in the twenty six to twenty 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.440 four point victory for the Maroons. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.040 Nathan Cleary's dodgy hamstring. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.960 I was good, and yet he still had that beauty 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.480 full try or he ducked and weaved. 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:02.160 I was awake for that. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.440 He was taking off him. He can find space though, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.240 Oh he can find space. That was like a little 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:08.720 warning bellot. I thought, it's. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.679 Happening again, and you're also taking do you know who 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:11.240 you shouldn't. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.280 Let's sneak up on you Nathan Clary. 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:18.440 Honestly, because he was injured. Is the only way that 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:23.040 the Queensland Morons did not lose that in those final moments, because. 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.440 You didn't win, you didn't lose. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.000 We didn't lose. We held on. We held on because 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.520 Nathan Cleary's hams. To everyone's like, do you actually think 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.200 he's injured? I was like, can you see the full 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.640 layers of strapping on that right hamstring. I mean, I'm 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.800 just putting it out there that I think maybe it's 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.760 a bit tight, and that is a great thing for 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.199 Queensland fans. My other access point in the axis of good, 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.839 the kicking hex continues. So from game one, Nathan Cleary 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.440 could not kick anything. Zach Lomax came in kicked a couple, 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.760 but they have not been able to convert their tries. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.560 That continued last night. You were right, Jelmy. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.200 New South Wales scored five triest the year four. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.120 Yeah, it's something they really do need to look at 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.679 because it cost them the game last night. And then 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.760 my other access point, Tommy did and he had to 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.440 be put in as the halfback. Billy Slader has copped 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.599 a lot of criticism about that, the dumping of the 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.080 Queensland captain daily Cherry Evans. Tommy did and repaid that 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.400 play last night. He was very, very good, very strong. 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.960 I'm excited for the next years that we will see 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:22.680 him in the Morons. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.760 Jesse, and you mentioned the fact that DC was dropped, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.000 and I think this began what was not unprecedented, but 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:31.680 a continuation of the. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.720 Criticism that we saw leveled at Billy Slater. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.040 And what I do know about Queenslanders is their parochial 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.960 and they're used to winning Georgia. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.960 Is that fair? That's a fair statement, very fair. So 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:42.760 they're going in an unusual. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.600 Form slump and by that I mean they might have 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.840 lost three in a row. What I heard of that 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.840 gets you sacked, though he does get so all of 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.400 a sudden there is this pressure cooker of comments and 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.080 it's almost like who can say the most outlandish thing 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.720 and who can make the biggest headline. And that's when 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.640 we saw a former Blues champion and Aaron Woods come 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.480 out in the media and use a particular term that 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.280 I have to be said, it's used in sporting circles 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.600 more than it is anywhere else, and it's personal because 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.200 you can't come out and call someone a grub without 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.640 making comment on who they are. And this was the 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.280 hot take that then blew up in the NRL circles. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.000 Let's have a listen. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.400 You watch these blokes up north and they say they 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.560 don't get it, we don't get origin, and they use 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.080 this pick and stick mentality. Well, really, you've just turned 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.760 on your skipper. I want to see the real Billys 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.880 later come out the grub that we know of, because 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.600 this is a bloke had they got six weeks suspension 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:40.400 of luck at over. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:42.440 Someone. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.800 Oh he's such a nice bloke. Well mate, you've lost. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.920 You won your first two series as coach, you've lost 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.720 last series. You picked the side that we all expecting. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.240 So I was win thirteen plus luckily thee didn't play well. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.680 You go on in another game if you lose this 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.800 second series, is that meaning going to get sacked because 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.480 Kevin Wald's got sacked up the two series losses and 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.320 he only coached for Yeah. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:09.200 I mean that's personal. Yes, there's no there's no other 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:09.840 way to look at that. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.400 Yeah, I think so. I think so, and you are 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:14.080 right Jellmy. 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.600 I mean I like Aaron woods He was an excellent 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.840 stalwart for the New South Wales Blues and the West 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.640 Tigers and the Canterbury Bulldogs during his playing career. But 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.640 part of your role when you are a commentator and 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.960 get we feel this pressure as well, is to make 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.800 pretty strong statements to get traction and to get eyes 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.680 on you and to get followers and to build the 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.680 narrative around certain games. So Woodsy has completely lent in there. 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:42.440 Did he cross the line? 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.320 I think so? And I think you and I we 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.920 play in this world. I'm primarily a sports commentator. You 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.160 obviously we work in sport here, but obviously you work 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.840 across other things as well. And I think we are 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:59.640 seeing more more than ever because of the saturation in 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:04.639 the marks of people having hot takes on sport, this 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.399 need to one up or be better. And also I 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.879 would say having a lens across American sport. You've got 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.000 Steven a Smith who's literally at war with Lebrones and 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.280 the two of them are talking about the fact that 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.000 they would have a punch up and that's all adds 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.879 to the fodder. So I think there's this idea that 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.760 you can be antagonistic and there's no limit on where 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.760 that can be. We've seen that Caine Corns was actually 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.600 banned from the North Melbourne rooms and seven weren't allowed 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.680 in the room's pregame or post game, which I will 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.840 be on the record. From what I've met of Caine personally, 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.879 he's only ever been delightful to me. I know that 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.200 he works really hard and consumes more footy than anyone. 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.359 But what he said about Harry Sheesel essentially stats padding 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.480 and he called it sheaesel ball. Once you start applying 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.280 personal nicknames to things like grub or sheaesel ball, it 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.600 does become immensely personal, and so it gets to a 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.560 point where it's like you're just doing your job, but 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.480 you're being unkind doing it, and there are going to 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.400 be repercussions for that. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:08.480 And I think those repercussions sometimes aren't they're not your intention, 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.040 but regardless of that, they kind of become your responsibility 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.159 because you have said that, right, Like we don't know. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.920 Like grub for me is a word that I toss 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.000 around at the television all the time. It's watching rugby league. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.879 You say grub writting rugby league? Yeah, watching is it 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.120 a rugby league? Because I've never said grub in our 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.320 In our podcast with Ryan Hoffman, I was like, Queens 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.320 Eye needs more grub, like we the sentiment of. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:33.399 I use the term grub. 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.280 I was watching the line kicks and it was Simon 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.800 and Pumba looking for some grub. Because I've never thought 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.040
