17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,200
the agenda today, we preview a good Friday clash that

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,759
has Match of the Round written all over it. How

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,479
we both somehow missed the the West. Plus do you

20
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:04,680
still listen to the footy on the radio where we've

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,920
got a new game after of course Nathan was victorious,

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,480
and I've got some breaking news on Nathan's prize coming

23
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:14,959
up as well. But look, let's get underway and Nathan

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,280
look all eyes on Combat Stadium for a good Friday.

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,439
We've got a public holiday game the Panthers and the

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,680
Storm on Friday night. Now, Penrith obviously playing sensationally the

27
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:28,959
Storm of lost two in a row.

28
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:31,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's very unusual for the Storm and actually

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,200
worries me quite a bit heading into too Friday night.

30
00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:37,359
Obviously Penn had such a sensational start to the year.

31
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:40,680
But there's this little part of me that you know,

32
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:43,599
still fully not you know, don't have don't have faith

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,000
in Penrith every week, despite what they've done in everything

34
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,159
over the last four or five years, you still get

35
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:51,760
worried when you see the Storm on the schedule. So

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,680
I'm expecting a tight class, you know, Melbourne. I can't

37
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:58,120
imagine when they last lost three in a row, let

38
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:00,680
alone two in a row. So this is shaping up

39
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,599
to be a very very spicy encounter.

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure. Yeah, Look, I'm gonna admit I'm a little

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,640
bit worried as well, only because of exactly that. Yeah,

42
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:09,719
three in a row would be you know, we don't

43
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,479
really talk about Melbourne in those sort of terms. And

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,120
of course they had the big opening start of the

45
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:19,120
season fifty two to four. They thrash the Eels, then

46
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:22,000
they thrash the Dragons forty six twenty. But then yeah,

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,560
they're basically in two games given up leads to the

48
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Broncos and then the Cowboy.

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: And I'll saying this a few weeks ago, Troy, you

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,039
know that desk they are they're too to no at

51
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:33,199
the time. But the opposition that they came across, you know,

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Eels and Dragons, you know, they you know, you can't

53
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:38,280
really tell, you know, how good a team is going

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,159
when you're playing teams that haven't played finals football for

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,199
a very long time. So they've come upup and you know,

56
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:47,280
last few weeks they've come up against you know, Cowboys.

57
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,000
I mean, who would have thought they would beat the Cowboys?

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,639
The loose to the Cowboys. Sorry, but you know, maybe

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,479
this is the Melbourne storm we're going to get this year.

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,159
Maybe they're not going to be a top four team.

61
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:58,639
Maybe they're not going to be as consistent threat as

62
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,840
we thought. They had so many change in the off season,

63
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:03,080
a lot of personnel left, a lot of people have

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,039
become injured as well. Obviously we have some news this

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,199
week with one of their players ending up in hospital.

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,759
So you know, maybe this is not the Storm team

67
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,199
we're used to and maybe this is what we're going

68
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,199
to get all year. Who knows.

69
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was of course too. We come a Kamika

70
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,360
suffered a stroke. That's saying yeah, and that was in

71
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,719
intensive care for a while, out of intensive care now,

72
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,479
but that's another Storm forward after eli Qatara of course

73
00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:28,520
late last year, that appears to going to now be

74
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:31,759
out for a very extended period, if if not for good.

75
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:33,680
You know when these sort of things.

76
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,919
Speaker 3: Happen, yeah, hundred percent. So you know, a bit of

77
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:38,439
a bit of a blow to the Storm this week.

78
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:42,039
But obviously Penroth missing Mitch Kenny, we know how important

79
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,280
he is. Whenever he's not there, Penoth do struggle a

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,879
little bit because he's such an important part. Yes he

81
00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:50,280
doesn't pick up our player points every week, Troy, but

82
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:53,759
as for consistency, he's probably the most consistent every week.

83
00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:56,840
You know, he's always topping tackle counts and he just

84
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:58,960
does so many things you don't really see. But so

85
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,719
I think Penethy are going to miss him this week,

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,240
but I imagine Freddy lusk is going to come in

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,919
and replace replace Kenny on Friday.

88
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would imagine. So we're recording this before the

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,360
team list comes out, but that would be the logical solution.

90
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: I haven't said about Freddy Lussik is the most fittest

91
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,759
player that we that I coached during the preseason.

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,639
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, well that's that's good news.

93
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,079
Speaker 3: It was huge, like huge praise for someone that just

94
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:24,839
came to the club.

95
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no, absolutely, well yeah, look yes it looked

96
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,199
Peter disrupted as well. But the storm, I just feel like,

97
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:33,759
you know, when we talk about the you know, the

98
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,879
power of the storm, like think about that. Elie GeTe

99
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,000
Elliott has are my favorite players in terms of the

100
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,720
Melbourne players, and then Ryan Pappenhausen they lost him unexpectedly.

101
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,759
So I know that you don't think about the word

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,199
rebuild when it comes to Melbourne, but you know, in

103
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:49,879
terms of what was on the whiteboard this time last

104
00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:52,800
year and how the Melbourne team looked. It's actually very

105
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:53,399
different now.

106
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Xavier coach is obviously inja Nick meanie. I

107
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,000
know he didn't play last week. I'm not sure what

108
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,720
the goal is this week recording before the team list

109
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,240
are announced. So they've had a lot of a lot

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,560
of change and a lot of there's one one player missing,

111
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,319
but a lot have you know, have come out of

112
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,720
the side, so that that's going to be quite disruptive, so.

113
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: And certainly worth knowing. Of course, we always wondered how

114
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:20,600
Melbourne would back up from losing a second straight Grand five.

115
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,920
Ye that would you know, they haven't won a Grand

116
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:26,279
Final since since twenty twenty when, of course they peat

117
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,319
the Panthers. And when you lose two in a row

118
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:30,680
and you haven't won one for a while and you've

119
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720
lost some prelims along the way and everything like that,

120
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,079
you know, it starts able to get into the head

121
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,040
of some of those players who I guess haven't tasted

122
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,480
that toughness Melbourne storm success. So I don't know. We'll

123
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680
see on Friday night because Yese Penworth put the cleanness

124
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,120
through Melbourne or beat Melbourne by handy score line, maybe

125
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,639
for the first time in a long time. A lot

126
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,199
of those shows are going to be talking about the

127
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:50,959
Melbourne storm.

128
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, I mean, but they've still got some as

129
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,360
we said, they're still some great threats. You know, Harry

130
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:57,360
Grant still scares the crap out of me what he

131
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,680
did last year, and that that gay and that Penrith

132
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,839
really to win to maybe push for a top four spot,

133
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:08,079
and you know he just did this wizard react. You know,

134
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:11,199
dummy Halfron scoring under the post was just genius. And

135
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,160
you know Penoth loss that that night, but that they

136
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,560
do have a lot of scary players, drove us km

137
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:21,360
Munster obviously their new fallback has you know, I haven't again,

138
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:23,079
I know you haven't seen the press yet, but he was.

139
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,920
He was praising him a lot yesterday in the press conference, so.

140
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: And worth doing too. You know when we talk about

141
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,240
scoring points, and we know Penris defense has been on

142
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:34,160
song this year, but you know Melbourne's average points scored

143
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:36,879
this year thirty four, Penris thirty five. So you know,

144
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,759
both teams are scoring plenty of points, just going to

145
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,800
come down to exactly how well both sides defend. It's

146
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,959
a bit of a weird one crowd wise, because I

147
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,439
would anticipate you could get a really good crowd there

148
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,199
on Good Friday. But obviously you've got, you know, a

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,319
lot of other factors at play. You know, there's a

150
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,600
lot of family stuff happening, people go away, you know,

151
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,639
maybe there's not a Melbourne fans you know, to show Yep,

152
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,879
there's no Melbourne fans. There's not a lot of stuff

153
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,000
open beforehand, you know, so it's not like you're like, well, yeah,

154
00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:09,519
let's go have a day somewhere or go out for

155
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,600
some drinks and dinner. Like you're going to probably struggle

156
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,720
to find a lot of places that are that are open,

157
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,399
although maybe a little bit more these days than in

158
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,839
the past. But but yeah, just I don't know what

159
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:20,120
gauge I've got on that crowd.

160
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it'd be upwards of fifteen

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,199
thousand at least. You'd hope they would like to get

162
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,399
close to twenty I dare say, because there was what

163
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:28,800
twenty three there. Yeah, great crowd in the end, and

164
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,040
I heard someone of my mates texted me is like

165
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,319
it's the biggest ever Penrith regular season home crowd because

166
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:38,000
obviously they used to play at Penis Stadium, a lot

167
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,920
that could only fit twenty two and a half. Okay,

168
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,519
so if they're getting close to twenty three thousand, that

169
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,480
was officially the biggest home crowd paned this home crowd

170
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:46,560
for a regular season game.

171
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'll raise a debate. It must have the protest,

172
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:51,959
but it must.

173
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,759
Speaker 3: Have got mentioned on a broadcast because my mate wouldn't

174
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:56,560
just know that he's a Paramatta fan, So someone must

175
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,360
have said that on TV.

176
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: I'll raise a protest, Okay, go on. Well, and I'm

177
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:06,839
sure I'll be protested against my protest. But Penrith at

178
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,600
the home team with things like Magic Round Oh right, yeah,

179
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,120
which are regular season.

180
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: Okay, well if you take that into consideration, sure, and.

181
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, look I'm not sure about this one. But you know,

182
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:23,639
Penrith have played home games at other venues. There was

183
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,319
a time I think, I almost want to say it

184
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:27,959
was two thousand and four, but I've got this not

185
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,720
quite right in my head, but where Penrith was undergoing

186
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,200
a bit of an upgrade at a stadium, and Penrith

187
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,240
actually had a few home games I think at the

188
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:38,960
Olympic Stadium, really the Stadium Australia.

189
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,639
Speaker 3: Do not remember that.

190
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: We'll get to producer Lucy onto that Okay, you know

191
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,759
all round it here Now she's a producer of the podcast,

192
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:49,279
and we'll see if I can confirm that, because I

193
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:50,120
reckon that would have been.

194
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,399
Speaker 3: A big a year after they won the gold.

195
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,039
Speaker 2: Might not have been two thousand and four. She will

196
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,279
check that, but yes, there was. Again there was a

197
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,320
period I reckon.

198
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,879
Speaker 3: We played the Roosters. Do you think Penrith have gotten well,

199
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:02,519
I'm just staying and.

200
00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:06,759
Speaker 2: Four that's straight after Grand Final maybe, but anyway, look,

201
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:09,039
certainly one of the biggest because yes.

202
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:15,919
Speaker 3: Who was calling the game on Saturday believed much of it,

203
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,679
which we're going to get.

204
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,279
Speaker 2: Into, which we should get onto just a moment before

205
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,159
we do. Panthers Melbourne Friday night at eight o'clock. That

206
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,960
this is one of those quirky weekends where there's no

207
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:27,960
six o'clock game because of Good Friday. There's a four

208
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,720
o'clock game, both games on Friday on Channel nine and

209
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:34,559
also of course on KO and Fox League. But get

210
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,080
out to the game, get your tickets, and you know

211
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:40,679
there was as a great Panthers crowd there on Saturday nights.

212
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,759
It'd be good to see a big crowd there. And

213
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:44,639
you've got three days to recover from it all with

214
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:46,519
the public holidays.

215
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: And hopefully, hopefully they do everyone a favor and continue

216
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:49,879
the winning streak.

217
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,279
Speaker 2: Do you think they bring in any extra fish products

218
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,679
because it is Good Friday?

219
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: Because a lot of.

220
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: People, a lot of people don't eat.

221
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,159
Speaker 3: I won't be eating any meat on Good Friday.

222
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: You don't eat meat on Good Friday.

223
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: I never have, No, I'm very loyal to the Lord.

224
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,799
Speaker 2: Yep. If my mum's listening, neither do I. But yeah, yeah,

225
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,360
but you're right.

226
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,919
Speaker 3: Maybe Combat Stadium should have some more fish and chips

227
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,080
on hand, I think for the patrons.

228
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I've just seen the front of Extra Time

229
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,159
this week and maccas is advertising the filid of fish

230
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:19,000
on Friday.

231
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: Staple had many filid of fishes on only time a

232
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,120
year I would have a fillid of fish would be

233
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:24,840
on Good Friday.

234
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: How many filid of fishes Macas would sell in a week?

235
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: Like?

236
00:10:27,799 --> 00:10:28,759
Speaker 3: Who's a week?

237
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: Not?

238
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: Okay?

239
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: We all love Macas, you know, like go and have

240
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,000
a quarter pounds or a cheese. But you might try

241
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,159
one of the new burghers. They've got some new stuff

242
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,360
with ca pop Demon hunters at the moment. Yep, you know,

243
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,440
maybe you get into a you know, one of the

244
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:48,279
things we're telling Greg about a breakfast, they're a McMuffin but.

245
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: With a honey griddle griddles, Yes, but who says.

246
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 5: You know what?

247
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: I feel like that I have fill the fish from macas.

248
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: Look, Troy, I reckon. We could probably find that out

249
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,840
pretty easily. We've got some good contacts. They could probably

250
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,200
tell us the filler to fish ratio over there.

251
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well I don't want to find out, but I reckon. Yeah,

252
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:10,480
just com make stadium? Are are they going to happen?

253
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,039
Speaker 3: Well, I'm and you know what, I'll do the rounds.

254
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,240
I'll go for a walk on Friday at Kombank Stadium

255
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,679
and I'll see what if they're selling anything different. They

256
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,200
might be a seafood platter, seafood basket from cocktail.

257
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe. By the way, it is the fiftieth meeting

258
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720
of the Panthers and the Storm, so a bit of

259
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:31,519
a milestone game, and the Storm have won thirty three

260
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,399
of those games. Penrith sixteen. Penrith has sort of come

261
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,080
back in that tally in recent years. It was pretty

262
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,600
woeful before that. But yes, thirty three to sixteen as

263
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:43,919
it stands right now and as far as Penrith home

264
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,679
matches are concerned, Melbourne fourteen and Penrith nine, So that's

265
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:56,480
the story there. And yeah, com Mats Stadium, of course

266
00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:58,519
they played last year. That would have been the only

267
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,879
time that Peneth and Melbourne played at Combank. And the

268
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,720
Panthers got the chocolates Storm Chocolates with point golden.

269
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,279
Speaker 3: Point because remember Nathan Cleary got a field goal and

270
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,639
then Harry Grant dived, yes, and they took it away

271
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,159
from Nathan ran into most of the odor or something

272
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:17,759
like that because they thought Moses was a blocker and

273
00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:18,360
I dare.

274
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,399
Speaker 2: Say we've forgotten about that now, by the way, blockers

275
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,840
did that for a bit. Now move on.

276
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:25,879
Speaker 3: There's always something else they tend to focus on.

277
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,039
Speaker 2: All right now, Yes, last Saturday, Nathan, Now we spoke

278
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,639
on the podcast last week that you weren't going to

279
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,639
be here, No, you were. You had a wedding of

280
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,320
course of a former Western weekend of Journo. But Nathan,

281
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,039
as it turns out, neither of us were at the game.

282
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:43,360
Can you believe we.

283
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: Could have bumped that crowd figure up by two on

284
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,440
last Saturday? So what happened to you? Troy because obviously,

285
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,159
you know you very rarely missed the Panthers game. It's

286
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,919
you know, you mark your calendar every year, you tell

287
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,039
people do not book anything on these games, do not

288
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,080
have your wedding special events, functions or whatever, because I

289
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,960
have to be at the Panthers game. I'm very similar.

290
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:03,919
So how the hell do you end up not going

291
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:06,279
to Combat Stadium last Saturday?

292
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,799
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, last week, Nathan, I was headed to murray Bridge.

293
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,679
Murray Bridge is in South Australia. It's about an hour

294
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,120
out of Adelaide, and there's a conference every year. It's

295
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,440
the Local Independent News Association Conference, and there is about

296
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,080
one hundred and sixty publishers who come together, so about

297
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,440
two hundred people because people obviously bring extras and there

298
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:32,679
special guests and whatnot. And it's basically independent news publishers,

299
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,759
whether they're in print, digital and what not, coming together

300
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:38,679
to share ideas here about industry updates, grants and all

301
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,879
of those sort of things. So off I went to

302
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:43,799
that and I made a very smart decision. At least,

303
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,279
I thought that I would fly the conference finished on

304
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,919
Friday at five o'clock, I would rush back to Adelaide

305
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:54,000
Airport and catch an eight o'clock flight, so I had

306
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,360
sort of the whole weekend back in Penrith. Now get

307
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:02,759
to the airport on Friday night and suddenly, just a

308
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:05,960
minute before we're supposed to board for light cancel. You're kidding,

309
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,159
and now that's you know, look, that's disappointing. But I think, okay,

310
00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:13,360
you get put up at a hotel something like that.

311
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,879
I then learned you don't get put up at a

312
00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:17,919
hotel in that circumstance, because it was that Sydney Airport

313
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,799
had closed.

314
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: Nothing to do with the airline was ready to fly.

315
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: They were ready to fly, ready to go. The pilot was,

316
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,720
you know. So anyway, I found a hotel and on

317
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:29,600
the way on the in the uber. On the way

318
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,840
to the hotel, a text from Courtus pops up and

319
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,639
it says, you know your new flight six am, And

320
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,200
I'm like, beauty, six am, I'll fly straight out be home.

321
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:43,039
Well it was actually six am Sunday, so as you

322
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,759
can imagine, I darted straight on the phone at Quantus.

323
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,679
But whilst I was on hold for an hour and

324
00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:56,320
seventeen minutes Cortus, I was on the webjet website and

325
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,080
I could see that there was pretty much nothing happening

326
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:02,919
likewise out of Adelaide on Saturday, pretty much every flight

327
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,240
was full. Now, in my mind, my very simple mind,

328
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,120
our plane was there at ten pm Friday night. Why

329
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,759
can't we just fly out on that plane on six

330
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:14,759
acm on Saturday. That plane was never supposed to be

331
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,559
in Adelaide. It's there, Why can't we just fly on it? Anyway?

332
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:21,200
Not how it works like that, And so yeah, despite

333
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,120
my best efforts, despite for a fleeting moment, considering the

334
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,279
fourteen hour drive, you didn't Adelaide to Peris. Well, you

335
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,879
know what, I get to the hotel. It started at

336
00:15:29,919 --> 00:15:33,120
the Great Holiday Inn and looked across from the Holiday

337
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:35,360
Inn and there's the Hurts Rental car company, and I thought,

338
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:37,200
maybe this is meant to be it Hurts is a

339
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:43,639
major a twenty percent discount. But no, that would have

340
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,360
been a silly thing to do. And so yep, so

341
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,720
I ended up watching it live and not so loud

342
00:15:49,919 --> 00:15:52,559
at the Adelaide casino. They've had a very imp you.

343
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: Went to the casino. We just went to the old

344
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,080
Pup down there.

345
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: A very impressive sports bar right in the casino, so

346
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:01,720
big green, and we got to see the boys.

347
00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:03,399
Speaker 3: Were you worried you might not be able to find

348
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,919
a venue because obviously South Australia is an AFL town,

349
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,799
that you might not find a venue that would have

350
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,759
the ruguy league one look.

351
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I was. I was pretty

352
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,559
confident that, yeah, that I'd be able to find myself somewhere,

353
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:20,840
even if it meant, you know, the unfortunate reality of

354
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,639
no sound, which was the case.

355
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,679
Speaker 3: And was there anyone else watching the game with you, Troy,

356
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,679
because obviously, again AFL town, did they really care about

357
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:31,799
rugby league once the Rams got pulled out of there?

358
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,320
Sure they gave up yep.

359
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,679
Speaker 2: So Rebecca from our sales team, she was there as well.

360
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:39,600
She ventured off to a winery during the during the

361
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,320
day and then then came to watch the game. And

362
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,159
one other Panthers fan there in a polo who arrived.

363
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:47,879
Speaker 3: Just he was on his own.

364
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,279
Speaker 2: I think he was with his wife. Okay, so he's

365
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,480
trade his wife along. So I don't know what their

366
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:56,120
story was. To be honest, you know, we didn't really stuck.

367
00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: They might have got as well.

368
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe just a welcome nod might have been an

369
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,200
Adelaide regular.

370
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:03,639
Speaker 3: Did you wear any Panthers gear T.

371
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:06,079
Speaker 2: Shirt, Pans T shirt premier shirt from one of the

372
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,480
many premierships.

373
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: Ninety one yep, so yep.

374
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: But look, yeah it's good to cheer on the boys.

375
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,599
Everyone else was there cheering on some AFL games.

376
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 3: Now, what lengths? Like you said you joked that you

377
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,440
would have driven fourteen hours or you would have found

378
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,480
another flight to maybe another city and made your way there.

379
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,799
What lengths would you have gone to had this not

380
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,359
have been around four clash against the Eels at combat,

381
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,240
But if this was a prelim or a grand final,

382
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,119
and shit like I'm going to miss I'm going to

383
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,799
miss this, yeah because I don't have a flight. What

384
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:40,079
would what what game or what would it have taken.

385
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: For you to Yeah, look, maybe go some drastic if

386
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,759
we're talking prelim, so prelims the cutoff.

387
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: But it was just a week one of the finals

388
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,480
home final.

389
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, you know what to be honestly, there if

390
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,759
we're talking finals.

391
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, on there, you're there, on there, no matter how,

392
00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:58,160
no matter what means, you would have got there.

393
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: I would have jumped in the in the car and

394
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,759
I would have got there. And look, there was another

395
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:06,160
path for me to get to Sydney that day. In fact,

396
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,799
this is probably what I would have done, and that

397
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,079
was catching a flight at ten am out of Adelaid

398
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,279
to Brisbane, of all places, and then catching a one

399
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,079
pm flight out of Brisbane to Sydney. And I think

400
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,279
I would have landed in Sydney at three o'clock or

401
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:21,400
something with time differences and all that sort of stuff,

402
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:24,359
and maybe would have made it. But it was just

403
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,319
too wisky because you know it of a delay somewhere whatever.

404
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,319
But look, you know what, it was interesting because I

405
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,480
think I spoke to you about last week or the

406
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:35,279
week before about how going to Combank feels a bit.

407
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 3: It's a bit of a bit of task a task

408
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,319
this year.

409
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna be honest. As much as I wanted

410
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,480
to be at the game, it wasn't like I was devastated,

411
00:18:43,599 --> 00:18:45,759
because I feel like I would have been devastated if

412
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:49,119
I'd missed Penrith Penrith game. You a Penrith home game.

413
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:51,440
They're the things I don't want to miss. Missing this

414
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:55,640
at Combank like, it's disappointing, but I've got over it

415
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,160
pretty Qoch.

416
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: And what about your buddies. You would have to break

417
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,480
in the news to them at some point did you

418
00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:02,920
tell them on the Friday Saturday when watching.

419
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,759
Speaker 2: Them, they were hearing it all live unfold on the

420
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:08,079
Friday night canceled, and I think they were probably surprised

421
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:10,039
I didn't jump in the car and were there, to

422
00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:13,440
be honest, But yeah, they It was funny because all

423
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:15,200
day they were trying to organize how we're going to

424
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:15,519
get to.

425
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,519
Speaker 3: This game because they rely on you, do they Hell, yeah, I'm.

426
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: Normally chief organized. But they were trying to work it

427
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,400
all out in the chat. And I was at the conference,

428
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,519
so I wasn't really paying attention because there were six

429
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,400
or going to be six or seven of us, and

430
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,720
suddenly I dropped off. And that was probably a win

431
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:31,440
for them because it meant there was only five I

432
00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:33,319
think that was here in the car.

433
00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 3: So they just going to paramount of folks. How how

434
00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:38,319
difficult is it to get there? It just seems like

435
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,359
we're going to a buddy country.

436
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, you know, because I think that you know, we've

437
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,640
reached a decision about going a fair bit earlier to

438
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,079
enjoy some some pre drinks, right, and and so no

439
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,319
one wanted to drive, and then the train got brought

440
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,720
up and then there was a theory of about a bus,

441
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,480
the Panther bus. No, no, this is just a regular

442
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:00,920
bus to not.

443
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 3: A not a okay you're talking about like, okay, shuttle wise.

444
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because she could get you know, shuttle buses depending

445
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,519
on the event, are actually you know reasonable. You know,

446
00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:13,119
you could probably end up if you've got seven or

447
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,640
eight people, maybe thirty forty bucks each, you know, so

448
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:19,000
round trip, which you know, it's obviously cheap, and it

449
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:20,920
catch the train, but then you've got the comfort and

450
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,240
the security of the bus. But it wasn't to be.

451
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,920
And but look, the pan has had a great win.

452
00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:28,960
It was a great performance. Obviously, I've watched it in

453
00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:31,680
full and watched all the highlights back and whatever else.

454
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,240
But disappointing not to be there. But I will be

455
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:36,480
there on Friday night. I'm not going. I'm not going

456
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,279
anywhere in the state.

457
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: Two Panthers home games this year, trying. We both missed them. Yes,

458
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,279
and our colleague Emily has been to both of them.

459
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:45,559
She might be the true fan this year.

460
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe, Yeah, of course he went to Bathist. Now,

461
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:53,680
thank you to Lucy who's given me this so I'm right,

462
00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:56,559
believe it or not. What happened in the two thousand

463
00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:00,200
and four season. There was some upgrades to Penrith, which

464
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:06,440
meant that the Panthers went on the road, so weirdly enough,

465
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,640
I don't know how this worked out. So they played

466
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,839
a home game to kick off the two thousand and

467
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,279
four season after winning the comp against Newcastle at Penrith.

468
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:19,759
Now this is on the official NRL website. I want

469
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:25,079
to dispute that, I actually don't think that happened game game. Yeah, anyway,

470
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:27,359
we'll find out. We'll get blue seat back onto it,

471
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,480
because that doesn't make sense because the whole point was

472
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:34,079
that the stadium wasn't ready. I remember this. So then

473
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,720
we went on the road, we played Camber and Canberra

474
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:40,799
the Warriors, and then in round four Friday, the second

475
00:21:40,839 --> 00:21:44,440
of April, Penrith moved their home game to Sydney Olympic

476
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:50,680
Park to the stadium the course stadium really. Penrith won

477
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,640
twenty two points to six in what was the Grand

478
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,519
Final rematch in front of a crowd of twenty five

479
00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:02,079
thousand and eight two which make it that biggest crowd

480
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:05,640
crowd part unless you want account magic round and all

481
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,559
of that. But yeah, so what there was something about

482
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,640
you know, an upgrade or some construction or something. I yeah,

483
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,640
as I said, I have some slight doubt about that

484
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,240
Newcastle game. That's interesting.

485
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 3: So what you're on errol dot com?

486
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got errol dot com and now confirming that Yes,

487
00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:24,119
Penrith Newcastle Friday the March.

488
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,559
Speaker 3: But I don't know if it was Can you checked

489
00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:26,559
Rugby League Project.

490
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,559
Speaker 2: I'm going to check that because I'm not convinced. I'm

491
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:34,440
not convinced that was the case. Yeah, Panas was great game.

492
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,440
I don't know what it says about paramatter. Look, there's

493
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,000
just nowhere near Penrith at the moment.

494
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: Were you concerned with the twenty points or whatever Penrith leaked?

495
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 2: Not really, because I mean we obviously rested some players.

496
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 3: You know, that's the rest a few players. What's going

497
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,119
on there with is not playing four games anymore?

498
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: No, No, And I think that's just Look if he

499
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:55,400
was interviewed post the Batist game, yep, and he certainly

500
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,440
said that was a deliberate plan and it's basically just

501
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:03,440
game management and the game niggling injury. Apparently he was

502
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,759
always got niggly injury. When does Brian to Oh not

503
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,599
have a niggling injury. That's true, So I think there's

504
00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:11,279
too much to be concerned about there. In fact, it's

505
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:16,240
probably a great thing that but the Panthers canst.

506
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,079
Speaker 3: Still Isaac Tago, he still wasn't able to get on

507
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,680
the field yet for his hundredth games.

508
00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:22,279
Speaker 2: Still not there, which we're still waiting for this hundredth game.

509
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,440
And look you I'm told Regular League Project is also

510
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:29,160
saying that game was on. So the only other thing

511
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,279
I can suggest and imagine how outraged we would have

512
00:23:31,319 --> 00:23:34,039
been about this, is that actually I'm mixing things up,

513
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:36,839
and it wasn't as a result of a stadium upgrade,

514
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:39,599
and we just moved the Grand Final rematch there trying

515
00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:40,319
to get a big a crowd.

516
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 3: Did they play an the other games and that was the.

517
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: Only one they had to play there, So that's why

518
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,640
I was My theory was that, yeah, we had we

519
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,559
got stacked with away games plus that home game against

520
00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:54,240
the Roosters, and because this the work had already happened

521
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,000
at the back end, you know, the off season, that

522
00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:58,160
it was going to be ready basically by April and was.

523
00:23:58,559 --> 00:24:00,720
But the fact that that game is played.

524
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:03,039
Speaker 3: That first game was still first game was played.

525
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: Has confused me. So maybe a Panther fan of email.

526
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,119
It's a podcast at Western Weekend dot com. Do au

527
00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:12,200
and clear up that situation.

528
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: You don't remember going to that game?

529
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: I do not. I definitely remember the Roosters game. You

530
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,279
remember going to remember going to Home Bush because I

531
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:25,880
remember Scott McCrae to like, I think, I'm trying to think,

532
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,920
but Scott McCrae performed a new rendition of the Australian

533
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:39,039
National anthem which was panther themed. We're playing the Roosters

534
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:41,400
who we've just been in the final, and so I

535
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:45,720
still remember it. I might actually, Scott McCrae, you might remember,

536
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:51,400
I'll ask you now, all right, that is it. We've

537
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,079
got the Easter eggs here too. It's next to Cabri

538
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:56,640
sponsored by Cabri today. It's an Easter because it is

539
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,920
east of this week. Yes, remember remember that? And then

540
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,519
in fact, my daughter said to me, I was talking

541
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:04,720
to her about Easter chocolate last night. Yes, and she

542
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:06,319
does go to a Christian school.

543
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,079
Speaker 3: Yes, of course.

544
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,599
Speaker 2: She just reminded me that Easter is not just about chocolate.

545
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:11,519
Speaker 3: Oh that's good, that's well over there.

546
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 2: Well all right, now you know what happened on Sunday, Nathan.

547
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,759
I was obviously got back to Sydney finally and I

548
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:22,160
had a lot of stuff to do. It to know

549
00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:24,839
the lawn, I had to do some bits and pieces.

550
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,359
So I put the headphones in and I actually listened

551
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,079
to the Canberra Cronulla game fully on the radio, probably

552
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,920
the first game I have listened to minute one to

553
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:37,279
eighty on the radio in ten years.

554
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 3: Through you through your phone? Would you have a little little.

555
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: Through my phone through the app? And I listened to

556
00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:50,559
Andrew Moore, John No, No, Andrew ak. So I was

557
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,039
thought I'd listened to Andrew Moore. Luke Lewis and John

558
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,640
Gibbs called the game and I was actually really surprise

559
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:03,799
at how into it I became thanks to thanks to

560
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,079
the call team there. I actually really enjoyed it.

561
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: Just use your imagination as to what was happening.

562
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, running left to right in your

563
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:13,319
radio dial. So I yeah, because it's been a long

564
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:15,200
died a putty on the radio all the time, but

565
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,759
it's been a long time. So my question to you

566
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,559
and to our listeners, do you still listen to footy

567
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,599
on the radio at all? Because even if you're in

568
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,720
the car. These days, you're like, well, we get score

569
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:26,759
updates you've got do you really listen to it? Do

570
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:28,079
you really flick it on? Yeah?

571
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look I'm like you try going up. Like I

572
00:26:31,319 --> 00:26:33,720
didn't have Foxtel or anything like that or Optus Vision.

573
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,519
So if you did want to listen to a game,

574
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,519
or a Panthers game for that matter, you would you

575
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:41,359
would have to listen to the radio to follow along.

576
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,400
And you know that's what that's what we did twenty

577
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,960
years ago or twenty five years ago. It was it

578
00:26:46,079 --> 00:26:49,319
was very much either to GB or you know, Triple

579
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,839
M used to have Monday Night football. So I was

580
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,960
very glued into the radar. These days, not probably not

581
00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:56,480
so much because you know, there's foot is so available

582
00:26:56,559 --> 00:27:00,200
on on streamers or Foxtel or Channel nine, and so

583
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:02,240
I'm probably not listening to as much. But yes, if

584
00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:04,759
I am out, if we are driving somewhere on a

585
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:07,319
Friday night to get some dinner or often have Triple

586
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,400
M on listening to a game, or on a Thursday

587
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,880
or during the weekend, ye yes, not full games like

588
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,880
you do, Troy, So obviously just you know we're heading

589
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,160
out somewhere and you know want to put something on

590
00:27:20,279 --> 00:27:23,240
then yes I do, but yeah, not like we did

591
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:25,039
when we all kids, when that was pretty much your

592
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,920
only option if you didn't have Foxtel.

593
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I just wonder how many people like you

594
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,640
when you think about it. Now, there's actually more radio

595
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,759
stations broadcasting Rugby League, yeah than potentially at any other

596
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,640
to CN do it as well, because you've got SCN, ABC,

597
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:42,160
Triple M, and two GB all calling games sometimes the

598
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:44,240
same games. I know there's different rights for like I

599
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,400
think on Sunday, once we get into normality from this Sunday,

600
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,240
I think Triple M have the two o'clock game and

601
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:52,079
two GB at the four o'clock game, ABC can call both.

602
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,880
SCN I know has the Friday six o'clock game, So

603
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,359
there's different rules or whatever. But even from the radio

604
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,359
rights perspective, and are they paying much? Are these stations

605
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,000
paying much to broadcast the game? Like you'd almost beat

606
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:07,839
the point of saying the NFL should be paying them,

607
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:11,359
Like in the sense that you know there's not a lot,

608
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,680
I'm sure there's not a lot to be made commercially.

609
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:17,119
Maybe the Continuous Call Team because that has a long

610
00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:20,400
history and a million sponsors. That sort of been renewed

611
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,359
along the way, but it's very expensive, particularly the ABC,

612
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:25,839
like they still go to most games, Yeah, the ABC

613
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,519
where some of the others still call something from Yeah.

614
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: Look, look, I think a lot of people do. I mean,

615
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,680
look at how many cars are on the road during

616
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,839
the weekends. You'd imagine that a lot of them probably

617
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:35,559
did rub the footy going on. And then there there's

618
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:37,759
some of those old school people that will watch the

619
00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:40,519
game on TV but have the sound muted and have

620
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,160
the radio call in the background too.

621
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,519
Speaker 2: It's interesting you say that because the ABC was promoting

622
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:46,160
this as well. I think pretty much all of the

623
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,440
stations now have a feature in their apps that sync

624
00:28:50,559 --> 00:28:52,920
up the commentary with the vision on the TV. Because

625
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,799
the issue was always before that the radio commentary was behind,

626
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,799
behind because they're on delay or ahead. Just the internet

627
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,440
into anything with the Internet, it's always just even if

628
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,960
you were listening on a transis stor somewhere somewhere is

629
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,720
on delay basically, so they never matched up. So now

630
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:10,759
you press this little button and they all call it

631
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:12,960
something different. Se n call it, you know, S and

632
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:15,759
sync or something. And you know, I can't remember what

633
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,880
Andrew Moore was calling it, but just promoting it the

634
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,319
other day. So yeah, you press it and it sinks

635
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:22,480
it up. So it's good to you know that if

636
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,880
you want to listen to Andrew Moore call the game

637
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,200
instead of whoever's calling it on Fox or nine, then

638
00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:27,799
you can do it.

639
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I didn't know that. That's that's really good

640
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,359
technology because I think that's that that stopped a lot

641
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,880
of people from doing that. And you can do that

642
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,480
at the games too, right.

643
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: Like stadium ape stadium app So I think sn in

644
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,519
particular had that, So I think that's.

645
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,599
Speaker 3: A fantastic feature. I've never utilized it, but I love

646
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:44,960
to just sit there and watch the game and have

647
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,079
the commentary I used to I used to listen to

648
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:49,200
the years.

649
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: I never transistor radio. Did you do what?

650
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: We had phones though we had it out for front

651
00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:55,799
to hear we had.

652
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: You listen to the radio podcast that we're weekend at commode.

653
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:04,079
You let us know if you still listen to the

654
00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:06,279
footy on the radio, and who do you listen to?

655
00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:07,720
Might have a prize.

656
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:09,359
Speaker 3: Triple M for me. I must admit, back in the

657
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,559
day was continuous call. But I've definitely moved on to

658
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:13,279
triple M.

659
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I who would I listen to by choice? Well,

660
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:20,640
Triple M. I probably engaged with more of their their

661
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,400
highlights that they put up on socialism whatever, but actually

662
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,160
listening to the game, and I know I'm you know,

663
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,880
half on about this. When it comes to TV as well,

664
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:32,000
I will favor the broadcast who I know is there,

665
00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:34,599
and that's how I'll ended up on the ABC because

666
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,240
I feel that if you are my eyes and ears,

667
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:38,359
I don't want to have you calling it off the TV.

668
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,359
Speaker 3: It's a bit lazy, isn't it very lazy?

669
00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:42,519
Speaker 2: And I get that it's expensive, but like two GB

670
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,920
for example, not even in camera.

671
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: Say it's expensive, but that's what they were doing for decades.

672
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:51,559
You never had that technology from calling from this year.

673
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

674
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they were doing this back in the day,

675
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,440
but now they've yeah, they've stopped doing that now.

676
00:30:56,559 --> 00:30:59,279
Speaker 2: Just before we tell you about the great people at

677
00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:02,920
Pena City, a motive, Lucy's handed me this. This is

678
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,279
a city.

679
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,799
Speaker 3: We barely see her in the office, but here she is.

680
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: Sitting what herold story from February seven, two thousand and four,

681
00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:13,079
just trying to see if I can find the journal

682
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,440
because no, no journal on it. And look I was

683
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,720
incorrect but correct. I was correct about the game being

684
00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:21,400
at a core, but it had nothing to do with.

685
00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:23,839
Speaker 3: Staying upgrade.

686
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,319
Speaker 2: Stadium upgrade and we would have been outraged about the

687
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,960
imagine this from twenty one to twenty twenty two. Penronce

688
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,480
has agreed to move it's Round four NRL home match

689
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,440
against two thousand and three Grand Final Opponent's City Roosters

690
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,480
to Telstra Stadium. The Panthers, who are currently in England

691
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:41,920
preparing for the World Club Challenge against Bradford, will take

692
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,640
on the Roosters in a Grand Final rematch at the

693
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Olympic Stadium on April two. Panthers marketing manager Max cowan

694
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,759
And said the club would gain a win fort of

695
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:51,680
at least sixty thousand dollars by shifting the game from

696
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,720
Penrith to homebush. He said last year's Grand Final was

697
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,400
one of the most talked about in years. We believe

698
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,200
there are a lot of fans out there, not just

699
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:02,200
Panthers and Rooster supporters, who would love to see a replay.

700
00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:04,359
It's an opportunity to draw a big crowd that we

701
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:07,839
can fit into Penrith Stadium. There is obvious economic benefits

702
00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:11,160
and it could prove to everyone what we could do

703
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,759
with a bigger, better stadium at Penrith. Oh, the season

704
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:16,480
ticket holders will be able to attend the game for

705
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,400
no additional cost and will be entitled to free trains

706
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,680
to and from the stadium. Now, it only ended up

707
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,039
with twenty five thousands of.

708
00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: Backfight on a max over there. It's only three thousand

709
00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:30,079
extra that they could have squeezed into Penoth Park.

710
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: Yep. So there you go. So they may call to movement.

711
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,920
So imagine if we did that in twenty twenty one,

712
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:39,240
we win the comp, go into twenty twenty two and

713
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:41,519
we say smooth that to Telstra.

714
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: Oh that's insane. It just shows you how times have changed,

715
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:47,200
hasn't it, especially for Penrith. I mean, other clubs still

716
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,160
take big games away, but Penrith, you know, they're very

717
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,720
solid in playing games here.

718
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: And certainly people have said to me too that getting

719
00:32:56,759 --> 00:32:59,680
the new stadium, whilst it's only a slight capacity increase,

720
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,000
does remove the temptation at the NRL to ever say hey,

721
00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:08,640
we think you should move next game. And certainly I'm

722
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,680
happy to say that. Anthony Francis you might remember him,

723
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,359
he was a market manager. He was a marketing manager

724
00:33:13,359 --> 00:33:15,400
at Panas, probably about six or seven years ago. Now.

725
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,799
He was behind the famous panther at cat suit that

726
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:19,880
they had for a few years.

727
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: Memorable.

728
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: So when I say six or seven, I think it

729
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:22,839
was actually.

730
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:23,359
Speaker 3: More like it's probably ten.

731
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: Ye, well for years something now he said to me,

732
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:28,839
he said like, oh, no, I think we should be

733
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,160
moving games. We should be moving games to homebush and

734
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:33,480
all of that.

735
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:34,599
Speaker 3: He was all for that.

736
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: So corporate.

737
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:40,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, he wasn't a real panther, Yeah he was. He

738
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,240
was pretty focused and just one of the money.

739
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: And his theory was when you're playing a Battle of

740
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,079
the West, it which your one chance to get thirty thousand,

741
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:48,079
well we should move it and take the money. So

742
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,279
you know, it only takes one marketing whiz like that

743
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,880
to get into a board's ear to then go yeah,

744
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,400
that's not a bad idea. So the new stadium will

745
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,279
at least, you know, get rid of that for a while. Good. Now,

746
00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:03,799
fuel prices just keep climbing and for many drivers it's

747
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:05,920
starting to hit hard at the pump. So the question

748
00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:08,079
is is now the time to seriously consider making the

749
00:34:08,119 --> 00:34:11,119
switch to hybrid or even fully electric. With hybrid vehicles

750
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:15,199
you're combining petrol efficiency with electric assistance, meaning fewer trips

751
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,840
to the servo and lower running costs, especially in stop

752
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,280
start traffic. And if you're ready to go fully electric,

753
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,280
you can eliminate fuel costs all together and enjoy a smoother,

754
00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:26,239
quieter drive with lower maintenance. The good news is there

755
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,960
are more options than ever before, with a wide range

756
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,760
of hybrid and electric models available across brands like Toyota, Kia,

757
00:34:33,039 --> 00:34:37,000
BYD and Honda, giving you flexibility no matter your lifestyle

758
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:40,320
or budget. If you have been thinking about spending less

759
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,599
on fuel and more on the road ahead, now might

760
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:44,800

764
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,599
of course, in that game the other night was the

765
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,639
suspension of Mitch Kenny. Now, I guess Panthers in the

766
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,400
end just thought, look, there's no sense go to the

767
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,679
judiciary over this one, even though Ivan clear is pretty

768
00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:11,280
critical of even the sin binning, yeah, let alone the suspension.

769
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:14,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it was probably the right call in the end,

770
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:18,599
because had they tried to fight Mitch Kenny, Mitch Kenny's suspension,

771
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,199
I guess here and lost and Mitch should have been

772
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,119
probably missing was at two games or he was facing

773
00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:26,920
two games. So look, it's smart idea, just give him

774
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,239
a rest for this week. There was was pretty clear cut.

775
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,440
You can't really get out of those hip drop Yeah, tackles,

776
00:35:34,519 --> 00:35:37,280
I guess you could say so. But yeah, it would

777
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,280
have been interesting had there been a situation similar to

778
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,440
Nathan's from the start of the year, whether Ivan would

779
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,320
have stepped in again for his player or you know

780
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,719
what I mean, like did he just do that for

781
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,360
his son or would he have gone in there and

782
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:49,639
fought for someone else?

783
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: Even though we know, like yes, you're not going to

784
00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:55,280
be a hip drop, we still connfused. I think about

785
00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:57,039
what isn't what isn't a hip drop?

786
00:35:57,079 --> 00:35:59,599
Speaker 3: It depends if they injured them as well. That usually

787
00:35:59,639 --> 00:36:01,079
comes with a price as well.

788
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:05,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, so young he's out for eight weeks, eight weeks,

789
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,840
so like it's do we consider that because he's on

790
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,599
even spent it for a week, So like, I don't.

791
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,199
Speaker 3: Know where this But then there was another hip drop

792
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,000
over the weekend that that person didn't get any suspension.

793
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:20,119
Speaker 2: So honestly, I don't know if even the people making

794
00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:22,320
the decisions exactly know what a hip drop is.

795
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: No, I don't think any of us do. Like we

796
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:27,960
think we know, and we see some pretty pretty nasty ones.

797
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,199
But something what Mitch did the other day that yeah,

798
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,199
it didn't look like a classic hip drop sort of thing.

799
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, very interesting. Well, which Kenny is suspended so he

800
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,639
won't be playing this week. I actually saw Mitch Kenny.

801
00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:41,679
I folwed it into the mass Panther, Yeah, and texted

802
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,440
him straight away on the text line is the text

803
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,519
line for mass Panther. By the way, he was at

804
00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:48,960
Percy Plunkett yesterday and he was chatting to Scott Soorrens

805
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,039
and it looked like he was trying to explain the

806
00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:52,039
tackle to Scott Soorrens.

807
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:53,039
Speaker 3: Oh really were they?

808
00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: Were?

809
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,119
Speaker 3: They dining in.

810
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,039
Speaker 2: At the takeaway window. Takeaway window there, so we're just

811
00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:02,199
waiting for their coffee and and Mitch looked like he

812
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,119
was giving a play by play Scott Soorrens on how

813
00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:09,400
it went down. That's what I witnessed there. You go

814
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,800
in and you should grab the text line number two

815
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,719
and a text the mass Panther if you get any news,

816
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,840
any news, all right now, last week we finished up

817
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:23,039
the Great Game. Of course the price is right you.

818
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:27,400
Of of course one a Panthers pink scarf. I did now.

819
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,119
Speaker 3: I was waiting for it, Troy.

820
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 2: This is the thing. I went to purchase it the

821
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,199
other day. Sold out of pink scarves on that particular day.

822
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,000
They say they're coming in this week.

823
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,599
Speaker 3: Should be there now, so you should be able to

824
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:41,360
get one in the flesh at the Panther still.

825
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,159
Speaker 2: So I reckon I'll be able to get one, maybe

826
00:37:43,159 --> 00:37:46,800
even a comment stadium this Friday night to you on

827
00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:47,960
on Good Friday.

828
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 3: We'll get a photo out of the stadium that's wearing it.

829
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,679
Speaker 2: So we'll do that. But we've got a new game, Nathan,

830
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,280
and and this is called Panthers Theme Song Survivor. I

831
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,599
put a lot of thought into that name.

832
00:38:00,599 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 3: And we've got a theme song, and we've got we've

833
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,760
got the music, intrue music, an applause, something like.

834
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:13,119
Speaker 2: That, beautiful, beautiful to be here. Now, what we're doing

835
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,159
with this is there's a lot of been a lot

836
00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:18,519
of Panthers songs over the years. We all know go

837
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:21,440
the Mighty Panthers. A lot of people remember Panther Power.

838
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:24,159
We all, you know, there's been actually more than you think,

839
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:29,480
more than you think, and I kill us archive of

840
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,440
Panthers songs from over the years, including some that I reckon.

841
00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:37,280
You know people have thought have been forgotten about. Well,

842
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:37,880
I've got them.

843
00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:41,119
Speaker 3: How have you managed to track down because they're not

844
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,000
on on iTunes or Spotify?

845
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:46,079
Speaker 2: No they're not. Well I've got them.

846
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:46,639
Speaker 3: Okay.

847
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 2: I actually figured out you can put Go the Mighty

848
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,440
Panthers on your own Spotify. You can, however, you you

849
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:56,239
say the song locally, say on your phone, but then

850
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,079
you can add it to your playlist, right, okay, So

851
00:38:58,199 --> 00:38:59,840
it's just that you can't share it with somebody.

852
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 3: You've got to get the MP three somehow.

853
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you still have to load the MP three

854
00:39:03,519 --> 00:39:04,800
so you normally do it. You can. I did it

855
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,159
from my desktop computer, right, So you can't do it.

856
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,480
But obviously you can't share it with anyone or put

857
00:39:09,519 --> 00:39:10,960
it up yourself, but you can put it in your

858
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,400
own thing. Good to know. So what we're doing each

859
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,320
week with Panthers theme song Survivor is I'm going to

860
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,360
play you the probably the opening minute or so of

861
00:39:19,519 --> 00:39:23,039
two songs, yep, and you are going to decide who

862
00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:24,559
goes through to the finals, and.

863
00:39:24,639 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: I eliminate one.

864
00:39:26,159 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 2: One is eliminated, okay, is completely destroyed, finished, torn up,

865
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:34,559
shredded as a Panthers theme song.

866
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,199
Speaker 3: Excellent.

867
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: The other is going through go through to the next round.

868
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:41,119
So where we are going to start, Nathan. We're going

869
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:44,440
to get all the way back, firstly to nineteen sixty

870
00:39:44,559 --> 00:40:17,320
seven and the original Penrith Panthers theme song. Get ready

871
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,079
for the instrumental.

872
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:21,639
Speaker 3: He there is a banjo.

873
00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: It was like ben Hillbilly.

874
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 3: It certainly does.

875
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,159
Speaker 2: So you get the vibe. You get the vibe. Yep,

876
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,159
there's sixty seven. Will give it a before of a

877
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:53,840
run here, Yeah, lots of the lyrics there, it is

878
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,679
so there it is. That's the nineteen sixty seven song.

879
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,639
Now that was the AFL. We still had that song.

880
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 3: That's what it does, have a very AFL like sound.

881
00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:05,559
Speaker 2: And they stick with the traditions in the AFL. Well,

882
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,280
that's up against Nathan a song that was to come

883
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,880
out something like thirty years later in nineteen ninety seven.

884
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,599
Speaker 5: Panther fans.

885
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 2: Clap your hands. Panther fans clap your hand. It's not

886
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:42,440
much to it, is it. Yeah, pumped up a crowd

887
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,079
in ninety seven, That's.

888
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 5: What I mean.

889
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,639
Speaker 3: The commentary in there.

Speaker 4: Everything people love, pan red, gather around Ridney Oh. I

891

903
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 2: I'm a panther for my headiest pend Tanne. It is

904
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,000
also Rodney I remember it well in nineteen ninety seven.

905
00:42:36,159 --> 00:42:40,039
So Nathan, you are the soul Judd Okay list. Now,

906
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:42,719
once we get into the finals, we may let some

907
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,079
of our audience members decide, but that's up to you.

908
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,639
Is it the tradition of sixty seven or is it

909
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,719
the Rodney Oh nineteen ninety seven Who are You? Who

910
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:55,400
are you gonna go with?

911
00:42:55,639 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 4: Oh?

912
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: Both very very catchy songs, very good songs. I mean,

913
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,119
I must admit, until you just played it now, i'd

914
00:43:02,159 --> 00:43:05,679
never heard of that nineteen sixty seven version before. But

915
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,840
extremely catchy, very very afl like. Remember, Yeah, it reminds

916
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,320
me of singers from back in those days. That's how

917
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,880
they would sing Christmas carols or whatever. That's that had

918
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,880
that quintessential sound from the sixties. And love the banjo,

919
00:43:21,119 --> 00:43:24,719
Love the Country and the rodney O one. Of course,

920
00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:29,480
Super League season ninety seven. I remember actually going to

921
00:43:29,559 --> 00:43:32,559
Panthers games that year. That's probably like a really really

922
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:34,920
vivid memory in my mind. Nathan was ten years old.

923
00:43:35,559 --> 00:43:38,719
Super League was just this shiny new thing. I had

924
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,320
no idea about the politics or anything like that behind it.

925
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,440
But remember Rodneo being our ground and that's it was

926
00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:47,400
just for that year. Troy and then came in ninety eight. Yeah, yep,

927
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,280
But yeah, if I have to pick out of the two,

928
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,920
I'd probably have to go with nineteen ninety seven, Troy

929
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:55,719
or Rodneo.

930
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 2: You're going to put nineteen ninety seven.

931
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,519
Speaker 3: I just think that song had it or they had

932
00:44:00,559 --> 00:44:02,719
a great rap. You had some commentary in the background,

933
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,199
you had the panther growl, It had a bit it

934
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,239
might be controversial.

935
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 2: So into the finals goes this shit.

936
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 6: Brilliant click at that, all these iconic pendrith sounds from

937
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:33,159
the days.

938
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,559
Speaker 2: In there, charge.

939
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 3: The charge and let the charge go. There used to

940
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,360
be someone that would play it so rid of that.

941
00:44:40,159 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: There is again that's a good run in this. Alright,

942
00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:47,519
Well there you go, so straight into the finals nineteen

943
00:44:47,559 --> 00:44:50,119
ninety seven. Next week we'll have another two songs to

944
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:50,800
go against it.

945
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're not happy with that choice, Troy.

946
00:44:53,199 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 2: Look I would have gone sixty seven. Yep. However, I

947
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,760
actually do have a little slight passion. Ninety seven song

948
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,519
has actually got a video clip that goes with or

949
00:45:02,559 --> 00:45:04,440
it was on YouTube. Find that on YouTube.

950
00:45:04,559 --> 00:45:07,559
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess it's just something that I actually heard

951
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:10,400
myself Ammonius at the football since seven on one. While

952
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,039
it was very catching and cool, I just you know,

953
00:45:14,159 --> 00:45:15,840
it didn't really resonate with me.

954
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,519
Speaker 2: That's all all right? Well nineteen ninety seven Rodney, Oh,

955
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,400
he'd be happy to know he's still is he still

956
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,960
doing the Sidney Kings? You're still doing it? Ah? He

957
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:24,760
did it for many, many years after the pin.

958
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 3: I must have been how many to a Sydney Kings

959
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,159
game in many years? But he was the last time

960
00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:28,639
I was there.

961
00:45:29,119 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's still he was still around on radio

962
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,920
and whatever else. I actually contacted him, I think for

963
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,480
the maybe the farewell Pendrith Park story last year.

964
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 3: And did he get back to him?

965
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:40,119
Speaker 2: Well, so I wrote in this big, long message and

966
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:41,960
I just said, look, Rodney loved to speak to you.

967
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,000
You know, this is what we're doing. You know you

968
00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:47,239
still remember it's pretty iconic for that one year. And

969
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,480
he wrote back, Yes, sir, that's it. So I wrote

970
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:53,920
back and said, so I grabbed your number or whatever

971
00:45:54,039 --> 00:45:56,239
else and that was it. So yes, So it was

972
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,039
all I got out of you.

973
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 3: So you go, maybe that's all he wanted to say.

974
00:45:59,679 --> 00:46:02,159
Speaker 2: That was all right, Well that's that's through. So ninety

975
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:04,320
seventy is through to the finals.

976
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,119
Speaker 3: So when we get to the finals, I'll be so

977
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,000
this is through to the end, that this could win

978
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:11,239
it at some point.

979
00:46:11,079 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: Well no, I think then, well there'll be a semi

980
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,000
final series. Okay. So I've got plenty of songs, you do,

981
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,039
I've got plenty of songs. Some that you wouldn't think about. Wow,

982
00:46:19,079 --> 00:46:19,639
I can't remember.

983
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: I imagine going to the Mighty Panthers is one, of.

984
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 2: Course, of course, And look, I probably won't put lucks,

985
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,840
like when you're doing the World Cup, you know you're

986
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,239
going to make sure you draw. Probably doesn't have panther

987
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,280
power versus going the Mighty Panthers. Of course, they're pretty iconic.

988
00:46:32,639 --> 00:46:34,239
And look, they're obviously the favorites to be in the

989
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,360
super Bowl. But we'll see, we'll see what happens.

990
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,679
Speaker 3: You might Rod could win the whole thing, he could

991
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,559
hear the whole thing. We should get him on the show.

992
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:43,079
If he does, We're going to.

993
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:46,079
Speaker 2: Lead more guests. We need more guests on the show.

994
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 3: We've got plenty of plenty of studio space.

995
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 2: We do, yeah, just not enough microphones. I'm working on that.

996
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,000
I'm working on that. Look, if you've been on the

997
00:46:54,079 --> 00:46:56,920
sixty nine episode journey on this podcast, then you've been

998
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,760
on the audio journey with us. When oh Mi, Mike's

999
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,360
sound like I was under the ocean in a submarine somewhere,

1000
00:47:03,079 --> 00:47:06,800
and you know, we've gone through a We.

1001
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 3: Have like a Mike graveyard behind us, all the old

1002
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,360
mics we used to use.

1003
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,119
Speaker 2: Yes, well, you see what I was actually talking to

1004
00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:16,360
someone at the conference I mentioned earlier about podcasts. Oh yeah,

1005
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,440
he was saying about, you know, he does a true

1006
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,960
crime podcast in his area and I must have a

1007
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,199
lot of crime in his area, and he was saying

1008
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,119
how he records it on his phone and people love

1009
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,719
that that sort of out in the wilderness kind of

1010
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,400
on the road vibe. And I listened to most of

1011
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,559
Headley Thomas's podcast at the Australia just finished his podcast

1012
00:47:38,599 --> 00:47:41,079
Sick to Death, which is a great podcast promoting news

1013
00:47:41,159 --> 00:47:44,679
court there, but great podcast Sick to Death, and Headley

1014
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,599
does quite a lot of that where he'll he's happy

1015
00:47:46,639 --> 00:47:48,719
to record a conversation randomly on his phone or in

1016
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,480
the car after he's been in an interview, and it

1017
00:47:51,519 --> 00:47:55,320
actually comes across as raw. But as I was explaining

1018
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,960
to this guy, like we obviously used to record this podcast,

1019
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,639
or not this podcast, but our podcast in a professional

1020
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,159
radio studio. Yes, that was above us. And so once

1021
00:48:04,199 --> 00:48:07,400
you've had professional radio sound quality, you can't crave that.

1022
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,079
So you've either got to be like in a professional

1023
00:48:11,159 --> 00:48:14,159
studio or literally sitting at the construction side of Penra Stadium.

1024
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,159
If you're in the middle. You know, that's when you're

1025
00:48:17,159 --> 00:48:19,440
struggling to find exactly what you want. Where we could

1026
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,280
do it live from Pena Stadium and the big trucks

1027
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,920
in the background and whatever, and it feel raw. Maybe

1028
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:25,480
we should do that.

1029
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 3: I reckon we should take it on the road. You're

1030
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:30,920
out on the proper hill or not. Yeah, we could

1031
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,400
do it and next door with Hog's breadth is or

1032
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:33,920
something like that.

1033
00:48:34,039 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they couldn't stop me.

1034
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 3: It's actually not a bad idea.

1035
00:48:38,039 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do a line, we could do a tour.

1036
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,280
We could do a lap, yeah, lap of the construction side.

1037
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're walking past people love that.

1038
00:48:45,119 --> 00:48:47,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. Great, everyone out there who's been on this audio

1039
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,000
journey's going great. Now they're going out on the road

1040
00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:52,840
with a mobile microphone. All right, Well that's the final word.

1041
00:48:53,559 --> 00:48:55,280
Who are you tipping and why on Friday?

1042
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:58,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm tipping Penrith. I'm hoping they can still keep

1043
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,840
up with their their strong start to the year. And

1044
00:49:01,039 --> 00:49:02,519
you know, I know we're a little bit worried at

1045
00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:04,320
the start of the show, Troy that you know it

1046
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,760
could be a close game, but you know this might

1047
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,599
be a different Melbourne side this year that you know

1048
00:49:08,679 --> 00:49:11,000
we're not used to, so potentially it could be another

1049
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,880
big win for Penrith. So that's what I'm tipping.

1050
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,119
Speaker 2: All right, I've got Penrith by ten. I think they

1051
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:17,480
will get home on Friday night. But it wouldn't surprise

1052
00:49:17,559 --> 00:49:17,920
me if it is.

1053
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 3: Wouldn't be bad if this first game that we go

1054
00:49:20,039 --> 00:49:22,800
to Troy of the year and that's when the streak ends.

1055
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that wouldn't surprise me. Very likely. I'm going

1056
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,679
to go. I'll be going to the Bulldogs game the

1057
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:28,239
next week.

1058
00:49:28,159 --> 00:49:30,199
Speaker 3: Too at the Course stadiums Okay, excellent.

1059
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully I don't see two back to back losses and

1060
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,119
we get all right. Well that's it. Preteni's running high
