1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: We're straight into Round nine of the NRL and we

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: have yet another mystery tipper on the show.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 3: Kind of a big deal?

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Is a big deal?

6
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Was a policeman before he resigned to concentrate on rugby league.

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: He played a crucial role in three hundred and ninety

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: one first grade games. He retired with the record for

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: the most state of origin matches officiated. I'm talking about

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: a referee here.

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: He's the one. He's the only Bill Harrigan.

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: Bill Harrigan told him five times to go.

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: He's just given Bill Harrigan. I guess the Mother of

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: all God forces making one of his rares here he is.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 4: Bill.

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning, Amanda, How I am mate? Been

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 3: going well? Really good?

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: Why is it that you're the one ref that we know? Well,

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 4: you're the only ref that I know. What was different

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 4: about you that you're in our heads?

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: I think in the early days I came in there

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: was just as quick as the players, and I ran

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: beside them when they were making breaks and that sort

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: of thing. And put that together with my tactic corresponse

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: group and swice in the police force, it was a

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: story for the reporters. I think and all of a

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: sudden I had a profile.

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Wait, you look good on the field too, Bill.

29
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 4: I know that helped as well, the flowing hair, the

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: whole thing. It's a tough gig being a referee. I

31
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 4: look at that and think, who would want it? Do

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: you think we're too tough on the refs as a public?

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're just demand perfection and we know we're

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: never going to get it that we want it.

35
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: And then today with all the scrutiny with extra slime

37
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: osen you know, we had replays and when I was referring,

38
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: but I'm glad I'm not in it today with it

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: just got every angle covered, every everything you say, everything

40
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: you do is scrutinize one hundred percent. You're never going

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: to be able to give them that perfection.

42
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, because and with the NRL bunker, it's exactly like that.

43
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: And when someone yells out something at the field, you know,

44
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: some mango yours a good ref and then you watch

45
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: your back and you think, well, actually, mate, they had

46
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: that call right. Do you find there's a bit of

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: satisfaction in that?

48
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

49
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. Sometimes you just think get that up here,

50
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: get that up here.

51
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's nice to have you tipping.

52
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: And we've got the rabbit os versus the Storm, So

53
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: who we who are we thinking here?

54
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: Bill? I'm on the Storm. I still think Storm will

55
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: win the whole comfort.

56
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: Yep, Sharks and Panthers.

57
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: Panthers at home?

58
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now what about the eels, Eels and the Roosters.

59
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 4: So I'm a Roosters fan. The injury toll is heartbreaking.

60
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: That's what's getting Amanda. Plus the Earls. They're finding some

61
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: good form at home Earls.

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the extraordinary thing today.

63
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if many people know this, but Jared

64
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: Haynes is facing court today. He's going to be sentenced,

65
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: and this is today. He's a former paramount of player

66
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: being sentenced. It's just how the world turns in this

67
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: game of Rugby League, Raiders versus Rights.

68
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: I know I'm an upset Knights because of what's happening

69
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: with the Raiders at the moment.

70
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 4: What is happening, What is happening with the Raiders.

71
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: Off field drama?

72
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it.

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: Comments about coaching and someone that really just wrong nights.

74
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: You wouldn't want to get stuck in the Ricky Stewart,

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: did you did you ever get a spray from Ricky Stewart.

76
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 3: Built absolutely many times, and even when I was working

77
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: with the Verses in two thousand and four as one

78
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: of his coaching stuff.

79
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: I've got a spray, and how does it manifest?

80
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Is it?

81
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Is it a measured spray or is it just straight

82
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: off the back, like straight off the bat spray.

83
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: I've seen him to both, and the ones that are

84
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,280

Speaker 3: Tough game, but I'm going with the Tigers.

89
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: Okay. Cowboys versus Broncos.

90
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:59,920
